Mount Vernon, Oa., Thursday Morning, Oct. 30, 1913.
Only one more day in which to
see the State Fair, but it
would be time well spent.
As grand factors in Georg l's
good times we have hog-killing j
time and Christmas still on Our;
string.
You will find the Montgomery
county farmer who has not lost
his head on cotton busy plowing
in oats.
On his trip through Georgia
Mr. Wilson did not strike the
garden spot. South Georgia is
the hub of development and
choice investments.
It makes little difference with
Huerta whether he is elected
president of Mexico or not. He
can chop off a few heads and
reign until his own head falls in
to the basket.
Being a,close observer, Presi
dent Wilson has probably noticed
in his itinerary of the South that
the old country is humping some
since Democracy took charge of
the government.
Frank’s counsel are already
looking towards Savannah to
hold his second trial if one is
granted. Frankly, we do not
think Savannah will appreciate
any such advertising.
T' '* man, or boy, who follows
>f rectitude and is not
1 by the every-day snares
,if, prevail, is peculiar in the
full sense of the word. Verily
he needs no badge to distinguish
him from surrounding types and
conditions of the present day, for
he stands apart; he is in a class
by himself, always at the head
with but few struggling for
his place.
Since the passage of the new
tax law last summer, many are
rising up to commend it and ex
press wonder at the act not hav
ing been passed many years soon
er. Tax Commissioner John C.
Hart, who has been actively in
vestigating conditions, find that
only about one-seventh of the
state’s taxable property is re
turned for taxation. But the vi
ta! question is. how to get the
proper values on the tax books.
I
Montgomery citizens cannot ai
ford to be lax in the matter of
raising the necessary funds to
ward the employment of the
farm demonstrator, whose work
has been mentioned in these
columns for the past several
weeks. It is a proposition be
tween this and Toombs county,
and Toombs county lias already
responded to all demands made
upon her. Only SIOO dollars re
main to be raised by this county
-—by the citizens. Who will give
five dollars toward this work?
Let it not bo said that tho plan
has failed because the people of
Montgomery count > failed to do
their part.
One hundred thousand dollars
spent for flowers to decorate the
grave of the world’s richest
brewer, Adolphus Busch, whose
death recently occurred in tier
many. Based on the countless
revenue from his beverage, thfsj
is a small sum; it is well under-1
stood that this unlimited revenue
has been contributed by every
state and hamlet in the United
States, and thousands of fami
lies, destitute of bread, have
been robUxi in the process of
tribute. Yet hypocrites will rise |
up tv the thousands and tell that

Waycross Herald: —Cuba de

first page position in the day’s
news, has developed a military
plot against the government.
Macon Telegraph:—Let the na
tions agree to stop building war
ships for a year and then turn
that money into the fund for in
creasing agricultural facilities.
Tattnall Journal: —Tattnall
: county’s crops will surpass any
thing she has ever had. Corn
Club boys are getting ready for
the annual displays and it is
gratifying to see that a great
many more will compete for pri
zes this year than did last year,
with better yields and greater
profits.
GraymontHustler:- Some folks
look like green persimmons taste,
says an exchange. Ah, brother,
you must have some of those
dead beats on your list.
Perry Home Journal:—lt would
be a political error of far-reach
ing effect to displace next year
a faithful and efficient democrat
ic Congressman. Within the
next several years a new man
would be a mere “notch in a
stick’’ in congress, compaied to
the worth of a congressman who
had gained political wisdom by
experience.
Monroe Advertiser: —With his
asinine attacks on Underwood,
“Hero Hobson” is going to sink
himself far deeper in the sea of
political oblivion than he ever
sank the Merrimac in the en
trance to Santiago harbor
Pembroke Enterprise:—Sever
al weekly papers over the state
have raised their subscription
price from SI.OO to $1.50 a year.
Even at this price the newspaper
would be a sure road to the poor

I Greensboro Herald-Journal:
An exchange says that they are

that’s nothing. They are skin
ning skunks in Atlanta by the
use of newspapers.
Savannah Press: —Felix Diaz
says he isn’t very anxious to be
President of Mexico. He knows
too well the fate of the average
gringo President.
Valdosta Times: Dispatches
from Atlanta declare that Mor
monism is growing radidly in ]
Georgia. This reminds us that
Georgia is a big state and nearly
everything grows fast in Geor
gia—especially the isms.
Darien Gazette:- Some of the
i Georgia cities are finding it rath
er difficult to prize the Republi
cans out of the postoffices. How
ever, it ought not to be difficult,
if they go at it in the proper way.
Hawkinsville Dispatch-News:
Thirteen has always been look
ed upon by some as an unlucky
number but not so by the farmer
who has been getting thirteen
cents per pound for his cotton.
He will think of it as his lucky
number, and no doubt would be
glad to see it come again when
he is ready to market his next
cotton crop.
Sandersville Georgian There
is no law against making persim
mon beer, and as the crop is quite
abundant no doubt quantities of
this old-time Georgia beverage
’will be made.

College Students To
Judge Stock At Fairs.
Athens, Oct. 25.—A large
1 number of students of the State
College of Agriculture will go to
the fair at Commerce on Oct. 28
,to judge stock under the direc
tion of Prof. Goodwin. As many
as fifteen requests have been re
ceived recently by the college for
trained men to judge live stock
at fairs to be held in the state,
most of which requests have had
| to be denied on account of a lack
of men and means. It is the
purpose of the college to give
j students special training in live
1 stock judging not only at the
; college, but at fairs so that they
will he available for future de
mands of Georgia fairs.
A Square Deal.
Give the people a square deal.
We have done this the past two
seasons, and as a result so far
this season we have received more
cotton than ever before. We
give the correct weight, tell them
the grade and show them the
market price, and knowing what
it cost to handle, they refuse any
but a fair offer. We represent
I the Southern States Cotton Cor
poration. Bring your selling cer
tificate.
