Mount Vernon, Ga.. Thursday Morning, Oct. 2, 1913.
In the death of Congressman
Roddenbery, South Georgia loses
a strong man, and the Georgia
delegation in congress is weaken
ed by his death.
The land and industrial edition
of the Moultrie Observer sent
out last week was a splendid
number, and fitly advertises one
of Georgia’s most prosperous
sections.
Waycross comes to the front
with a bob-tailed rattlesnake, his
rattles having been gnawed off
by a mouse. It is well for public
opinion to be withheld till we can
hear from Valdosta.
We do not own cotton enough
to fill a hollow tooth, but we are
rejoicing that our farmers are
getting a good price for the
staple. We will continue to re
joice, and so will they, if the ad
vantage ground is held by a lib
eral planting of oats on which
next year’s prosperity depends.
As the boll weevil disturbs the
dreams of the Georgia Depart
ment. of Agriculture so does
Huerta continue to be a thorn in
the flesh of our national govern
ment. While farmer Drown is
worried over the figures that
don’t quite make his high-priced
cotton pay his guano and run
bills.
It all depends upon the class
of men who go out to subdue a
wilderness. Some times the
wilderness gets their goat and
refuses to be subdued. If they
have the true metal in them they
don’t sit around on the stumps
of the first trees cut down until
the moss covers them. There is
too much moss in this section.
There are thousands who will
rejoice if (’apt. Matson succeeds
in crossing the Atlantic in the
hydro-aeroplane being built at
Dutch Island, Savannah. The
South would be proud that the
first trip across was made in a
machine built in this territory.
But, we are not expecting to be
one of ('apt. Batson’s crew.
Congressman I). M. Hughes
is sticking right to his job in
Washington, and the continuous
session of Congress may prevent
his canvass of the Twelfth Dis- j
trict. However, Hr. Hughes will
be candidate to succeed him
self. regardless of the number of
candidates for the place, and his
record will stand out in bold re
lief when the time comes for his
announcement
The biggest and best thing the
new Georgia Chamber of Com
merce could do would be to show
our people that the very highest
attainments in agriculture can
only be reached by combining
stock raising with farming. On
ly by raising and feeding live
stock can our soil be permanent
ly enriched. We can continue to
buy commercial fertilizers and re
main in about the same condi
tion, except that we will slip a
cog about every other year.
Mr. Subscriber, we have wait
ed long and patiently for that
dollar you owe us. It will pay
for the ink and paper on which
the paper is printed. Wo have
advanced the money to pay for
these so far, and have faithfully
performed our part We need
the money and it is time you
were attending to this small mat
ter. A dollar is a small amount
to you in these prosperous times,
but there are several hundred of
you, and that is what hurts us.

Eaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa l
Americus Times-Recorder: —
It’s a wonder some one hasn’t
1 suggested Harry Thaw or Gov
ernor Sulzer as a candidate to
the revolutionists of Mexico.
Moultrie Observer:—New York
is spending far more money than
any city on earth and yet this
s year it has 100,000 more chil
dren than it can accomodate in its
■ schools. But the supply of sa
loons and similar places is equal
to all demands.
Atlanta Constitution: —His law
yers won't despair, even if Thaw
is returned to Matteawan. It’s
merely a matter of in ag’in, out
ag’in, law' ag’in, jaw ag’in.
Savannah Press;—Underwood,
Hobson and Clayton will run for
! the United States senate in Ala
bama. This will be a race worth
sitting on the banks of the Chat
tahoochee to watch.
Lyons Progress:- This time of
the year, when sugar cane, figs,
pomegranates, scuppernongs and
other good things too numerous
to mention are ripe, a South
Georgia citizen has need to wor
ry not about the tariff, the trusts
or the high cost of living.
Perry Home Journal: —The
locker clubs in the cities have
ever been outright violators of the
spirit of the Georgia prohibition
law, if not of the strict letter.
The locker club is also a product
of class legislation.
Rome Tribune-Herald:—Hol
land has decided to let the wo
men vote. Now there’s an open
ing for Mrs. Pankhurst. Why
don’t she go there and settle
dow’n.
Waycross Herald: —Rev. Chas.
Fitzwilliams of Pittsburg, in i
speaking of the new gowns said j
‘‘l w'ould rather see women go-;
ing around naked than wearing!
the styles they do.” Have pa
tience, there are but a few
inches to remove from the pres
ent styles and you will have your
w ish.
1 Graymont Hustler:—The in-,
telligent farmer has learned that
there is more profit in ten acres
, well cultivated than a hundred j
[just half tended. Making the
soil productive pays a bountiful
dividend.
Monroe Advertiser:—T h e
South’s economic independence
will not be due to cotton. It will
be due to corn, cattle, oats, rye
and hay. When these thnigsare
raised at home in sufficient abun
dance, the South can then raise
cotton and laugh at the world.
Hawkinsville Dispatch-News:
—The governor’s mansion is said |
to be in such bad shape that it is
unsafe to live in, yet there are a
great many prominent Georgians
who would no doubt be perfectly
willing to risk occupying it as
the chief executive.
Pembroke Enterprise:—A pub-,
lie school is the most important
enterprise in any tow’n, because
the future of the town is depen
dent on it. Every man who is
interested in the future of his
town should be interested in the
school.
Darien Gazette:—The state
authorities are going to see to it
that the pure food law is en
forced in Georgia. That’s right.
Our eats come high enough and
they certainly ought to Lie pure.
LaGrange Reporter:—Another
helpful thought is that now is the ;
time to dig sweet potatoes. ,
THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, OCT. 2, 1913.
A Sigh For A Pie.
Os all the pie family the pump
kin pie gets the choicest publici
ty. Poets extol it, rhapsodists
praise it, culinary editors exploit
it. No doubt it deserves all this
adulation. There are tw r o reas
ons, in addition to the pie’s in
herent virtues, that materially
help its popularity. In the first
place, it is closely knit with New
England sturdiness and progress,
and with the early uplift of the
nation. In the second place, its
season is a limited one.
On the other hand, the custard
pie is an all-the-year-round pie.
Its principal ingredient is obtain
able through every season, and
it requires no more skill in prep
aration tnan the other pastries
of its kith and kin. Yet the
restaurant-keepers tell us the
custard pie has slipped back in
popular favor and no longer
crowds the reliable old apple fill
er for the top o’ column.
In the earlier day—and not so
early, either —when the hospi
table hoard groaned beneath the
weight and variety of edibles
that crowded it, and seven
course dinners were unknown
the toothsome custard came on
in various guises—in pie, en
masse, in cups, in floating is
lands. Where are those islands
of the blessed now?
