Mount Vernon, Ga., Thursday Morning, Nov. 20, 1913.
If you boil down agriculture to
get the essence of its success
you will have left the one all-im
portant idea, soil fertility.
A system of underground irri
gation that would also take off
the surplus water of big rains,
would pay in this country.
Huerta has been eliminated so
many times that we could scarce
ly believe he had quit Mexico if
we were to see him floating down
the Oconee river in his little
birch-bark canoe.
In the menu given by Georgia
editors for the Georgia Products
Day dinner on Tuesday every
thing that grows in Georgia was
put in the bill of fare except two
—raw raccoon and sw'eet milk.
Atlanta ladies who entertained
corn club boys last year are en
thusiastic in their praise of the
l>oys and very generously ask to
have them as their guests again
next month. The corn club boys
are all right at home or abroad.
No man in these United States
has a clearer conception of the
true status of affairs in Mexico
than Senator A. O. Paeon. The
Wilson administration could have
no stronger man to lean upon in
international questions than Sen
ator Paeon..
Chairman McCoombs, who so
successfully managed the late
victorious Democratic campaign,
has taken unto himself a wife.
Me. will prove a real manager
if he gets through next summer
in his new role and doesn’t loose
that newspaper smile.
Montgomery county will never
have a county fair if the matter
is not agitated before the crops
are all planted. Now is the time
to plan, arid'the only way it will
be accomplished is through a re
sponsible organization that can
offer premiums worth while.
It was as natural for the Dub
lin Courier-Herald to pass from
a semi-weekly to a first class dai
ly newspaper as falling off a log.
There were already existing the
combinations that make a good
newspaper the business de
mand, the brains and the spirit
of progress.
The governor of Rhode Island
fears a “yellow peril” by reason
of the low tariff allowing Asiatic
competition in manufactures.
Put wo have a monopoly of the
cotton of the world and can make
up every pound of it right here
in the South. Let the new tariff
have a trial.
Macon will entertain the South
Georgia Conference of Method
ists this year, the meeting to
commence on the 2t>th. Macon
has the honor of having enter
tained the first Georgia Confer
ence, in 1831, and has the oldest
female college in the world, the
Wesleyan.
We were staggered at the fig
ures given out recently as to the
amount of money sent out of
Georgia annually for corn and
meat. At the pace we are going
the adding machines will have
something to do if they keep up
with the figures on money spent
for automobiles.
The masterpiece of the engin
eering work of the century is the
great Panama Canal, soon to be
opened to the world’s commerce.
As has already been pointed out, j
those who will reap direct bene- j
fit from the accomplishment of
this great strenuous physical ac
complishment will be those who |
get ready for it. ,

Waycross Herald: —A man’s
political and personal friends and
an official’s political enemies
sometimes make victory for one
and defeat for the other.
Macon Telegraph:—The storms
on the coast have caused a scar
city of fish this week. Put with
plenty of sausage, spareribs,
yams, grits and other seasonable
dishes, both of the animals and
vegetable varieties, the people of
Macon will continue to wear that
well-fed smile.
Fitzgerald Press:—With a real
wide-awake Chamber of Com
merce, conducted as Mayor Cook
suggests, on business principles
just like a bank, much good can
be accomplished for Fitzgerald
and Pen Hill county. Such an
organization is in prospect and
will be organized here at the big
Poos ter dinner on the 18th.
Tifton Gazette:—Out of the
eleven murder cases before the
State Supreme Court Tuesday
and Wednesday, only one was al
lowed a new trial. It is evident
that the highest court in the
State is determined not to be re
sponsible for any delays in the
enforcement of the law.
Lyons Progress:—Our advice
is not worth much, but it is al
ways free. We would say to the
wise farmers: Plant oats and
lots of oats. Feed is going to be
high as gold dust next spring and
a big oat crop is going to be a
mighty handy thing to have
around along about then.
Greensboro Herald-Journal:—
’Plie Greene County Corn Club
boys will visit Atlanta, forty
strong, on December second.
President W. C. Merritt will have
charge of the boys and that
means they will be in good
hands.
Nashvilee Herald:—The man
who thinks Tammany is down
and out has another tnought
coming, that’s all.
Valdosta Times:—Conditions
in a state which would bring
about a really serious race be
tween a statesman like Congress
man Underwood and a freak of
the Hobson type are hard to un
derstand. Alabama ought to
give Hobson all that is coming to
him in this race.

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, NOV 20, 1918
Monroe Advertiser: —And what
worries us is that so many folks
seem to think that we really have
no use for that dollar they owe
us. Brothers, the weather has
turned cold and we need some
warmer apparel to keep out win
ter’s chilling blasts, so before it’s
too late, please remember us.
Pembroke Enterprize:—Farm
ers in this section are about
through gathering their cotton
and are sitting by the fireside
looking over their deposit slips.
Clinch Co. News:-The city of
Homerville has grown from a
cross-roads with one or two fami
lies to a nice little city, yet the
accommodations furnished by the
railroad are barely little better
than they were fifty years ago.
As a town grows it does look
like the railroad that passes
through it would keep up with
its progiess.
Dublin Courier-Herald:-Geor
gia products day will show
whether there is any truth in the
ancient boast of Georgia that
“you could build a wall around
the entire state and we could live
in peace and plenty forever.”
