Mount Vernon, Ga., Thursday Morning, Sept. 18, 1913.
Georgia could save millions
every year by raising her own
mules and meat.
The most enchanting music in
this section just now is the hum
of the cotton gin.
The Montgomery county farm
er with a big field of pindars and
a good herd of swine does not;
need a ranch in Mexico.
That old song, “When the frost
is on the Pumpkin,” is not. popu-|
lar here now. The rythmic slo
gan, “Pm Gwine Down to Git
Another Bale,” has taken itsj
place.
We are under obligations to ■
lion. John C. Hart, state taxl
commissioner, for a copy of his
recent speech at Greensboro and
a copy of the new tax equaliza
tion law.
The number of tragedies re
cently occurring in Jenkins coun
ty is no criterion by which to
judge its people, for they will
average as well as any people in
the state.
The safest plan to get money >
out of cotton next year is to sow j
a big crop of oats next month
and put the cotton money in your 1
pocket that would otherwise
have to go to pay for feed.
The progressive Montgomery
county farmer should send some
thing to the Twelfth District
Fair at Dublin, if nothing more
than a big yarn potato, as a to
ken of good will and co-operation.
The Georgia Weekly Press As
sociation will meet at Commerce
next summer. It might be a good
idea for some one to let those
Commerce people know how
hungry newspaper folks art' (
along about July.
_
The bandit war in Mexico con-!
tinues, and outrages continue j
to multiply. Residents then'
from the United States have had;
fair warning, and will have no:
excuse when the real and final
clash comes if they choose to re
main.
Another instance of how sadly
fleeting is the glory of this world
is seen in the passing of “Big
Tim” Sullivan, whose body lay
thirteen days in a local morgue
in New York, where he rose to
fame and fortune, before being
identified.
The Atlanta Journal has a
timely editorial on the “treasures
of Georgia clay,” in which it is
shown that Georgia kaolin is'
being shipped to Ohio to l>e man
ufactured into the host grades of
china. Georgia dirt is all right
whether you manufacture it or
plant it in profitable crops.
An interesting sketch in Sun
day's Atlanta Constitution gives
story of Col. Z. D, Harrison’s
fifty years of service as clerk of
the state supreme court. But it
might have been safer for Col.
Harrison to have waited longer
to let the public have the story,
for some fellow will begin at
once to figure on his job.
Thos. A. Eddison has boon or
dered by his physician never to
take another vacation, as the
rest is more tiresome to him
than his usual work of twenty
hours a day. We are not favor
ed with that physician's name,
but he would not make a populai
doctor here, for some people in
this county have made life one
continuous resting spell. i

► Gleanings From 3
t Wisdom’s Field. 3
•AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Fitzgerald Press: —There is
plenty of room in Georgia for the
settler who wants a good home
and is willing to work and build
up, hut it is a mighty poor State
for the loafer and vagrant.
Savannah Press:—Thaw must
have been very much surprised
to discover how little influence
Pittsburg gold had in Dominion
of Canada.
Monroe Advertiser: —Even the
calamity howlers have become
[optimists and are talking about
prosperous times in Georgia.
Well they’re coming all right.
From present indications Georgia
is one of the most blessed states
in the Union this fall. Longlive
King Cotton and his right bower,
Prince Corn!
Atlanta Journal:—As a rule it
takes less time to refrain from
telling a man just what you think
of him than it does to recover
from the effects thereof.
Adel News: —The Democratic
tariff bill has passed and there
will be no serious results to fol
low, as the Republicans claim.
Instead, the legislation effected
in favor of the people will bring
prosperity to the country.
Perry Home Journal: —No busi
ness man would discharge a
i capable und faithful representa
tive merely to give another man
a job. This should apply to poli
tics, except where the incumbent
is not in sympathy with the ad
ministration,
Atlanta Constitution:—Now
that the tariff is settled, some
people will expect it to pay the
butcher and the baker, set the
table, ring the dinner bell and
j say grace.
Macon Telegraph: —Many
Americans are staying in Mexi
co, which demonstrates the fact
that we hate to leave a place
where a scrap is on.
Darien Cazette:—Judge John
C. Hart, state tax commissioner,
is right on the job all right. He
i expects to spend much of his
i time for the next few months go
ing about the state, talking with
and to the people and sizing up
conditions. The tax digests are
going to show up a big increase
the coming season.
Pembroke Enterprise;—Just
leave the capital moving proposi
tion up to the young people of
Atlanta and it will stay right
where it is. The police there
have been instructed not to dis
turb any couple that might be
found kissing on the capital steps.
Valdosta Times:—Col. Bryan
says that a Progressive is a man
who is ashamed to be a Repub
lican and lacks the courage to
become a Democrat. The first
citizen of Oyster Bay ought to
let loose a shower of adjectives
and pronouns in response to this
wild thrust.
Montezuma Georgian: —ln the
meantime don’t forget the plans
you laid for planting that patch
of alfalfa, and the acreage of fall
itats you had planned to sow.
Reduce the cotton acreage next
year. It’s the way to keep the
price up.
Waycross Herald:—We have
been told that if Mr. Underwo*xi
runs for the senate, that the
other members of the delegation
will form themselves into a “fly
ing squadron” and stump the
state for him against Mr. Hob
son. We hope Mr. Underwood
will run. just to see if they will
i do it.
THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR-THURSDAY, SEPT. IS, 1913
Pennies Worth a Dollar.
It may be just as well to men
tion here that when I paid SBO to
ride the 17 miles from Savanilla
to Barranquilla, in Colombia, I
was not guilty of such reckless
extravagance as may at first
glance appear; also, that when
the agent at the latter place
charged me S4O for riding back
the same way and in the same
car he merely suffered from an
astonishing lapse of memory,
forgetting for the moment that
he needed the money.
The fact is that the Colombian
dollar, or peso, has depreciated
until it is worth just exactly one
cent in United States currency,
and there being no room left for
the centavo of old, it has vanish
ed utterly from the reckoning of
man. There are no silver coins
whatever, and after a little bar
gaining one is apt to accumulate
an astonishing number of yel
low bills—tens, twenties, fifties
and hundreds. Then there steals
insidiously over one the peculiar
exaltation of the wealthy, and it
causes not a single pang to pay
$5 for a shine or to toss away $lO
for a bottle of ginger pop.
The Right Plan.
A Virginia swine breeder
writes: “I am so situated that I
keep something growing in dif-'
ferent lots for hogs to graze at
ail times and let them gather a
good portion of their feed this
way, such as oats, rye, rape,
clover, cowpeas and artichokes.
I treat my hogs in such away
they know their master’s voice
and when I speak to them they
give me a friendly grunt. They
are so gentle and kind that I can
make any hog I have step up on
my platform scales and let me
take his weight.” Good sugges
tions there for all hog raisers.—
