Thursday Morning, Jan. 22, 1914. If the boll weevil never crosses the Alabama line into Georgia diversification of crops will pay. After reviewing the wonder ful strides made by the South in 1913, the present year will have to be a hummer to even astonish us. Incendiaries who burn stables and destroy helpless animals do not deserve any more humane mode of execution when caught than by burning alive. The fact that over 2,300 hanks have made application for mem bership in the new federal re serve system shows the growing popularity of the new currency law. It may be that Postmaster General Burleson may achieve government ownership of rail roads by a continual increase in the weight of parcel post pack ages. The Georgia Chamber of Com merce will do a great work for the state, and even those who are too indifferent to help in its undertakings will be helped by its nation-wide advertising. Universal regret and sorrow in Georgia marked the passing of Charles R. Pendleton. Governor John M. Slaton and Ex-Governor Brown and hosts of friends at tended the funeral in Macon to do honor to his memory. The daily press printed the an nouncement last week that shoes might go to ten dollars per pair. It might Irj a bright idea to tan some of the hides throwing around the farm houses and make shoes as we did during the war. Candidates who intend to make the race for any of the offices in Montgomery county need not have any scruples about taking up too much space in the county paper with their announcements. We are prepared to add several pages if they need the additional space. With the planting season al most at hand, it may be rather late to discuss the matter of soil fertility, but the Montgomery county farmer who measures his crop next fall will agree with us that the question of soil fertility is the most important one in ag riculture. A medium crop of cotton made and gathered in the South this year means continued prosperity. An extra large crop like that of 1912 would mean low prices and a return to hard times. By all means our farmers should think seriously right now of a condition they have the power to control. The old saying about making, two blades of grass grow where one grew before has been com pletely knocked out by the corn club boys. They are making a hundred bushels of corn where dad made only fifteen in his best days. And the end is not yet. Wait until the pig club boys get started. State Superintendent of Schools, M. L. Brittain, is de cidedly opposed to teaching eu genics in the public schools. Every thoughtful man of brains knows that familiarity with the things that must necessarily be taught would not tend to the de crease of crime or the better ment of health. i ► _ 4 t Gleanings From * ◄ t Wisdom’s Field. 3 A AAAA AAA lAAAAAiAt Americus Times-Recorder:— One of these days the Sunday “sups” will make a great hit by publishing the picture of the girl who doesn** believe in eugenic marriages and was never probed with the poison needle. Monroe Advertiser:-The Val dosta Times says that Brunettes are best working girls. It has been our expeiience, however, that both blonde and brunettes are past masters at the art of working men. Waycrosß Herald:—The press dispatches say that a memorial to Baldwin the apple discoverer is proposed. Is Baldwin going to take the record away from Eve? Perry Home Journal:—A ne gro of Macon predicts that 1914 will be a bad year for negroes, especially as to health and death. His prediction is Dased on the as sumption that because the new year began its existence on ‘‘the dark of the moon,” dark skinned people will be under the ban of the infinite power. Macon Telegraph:—Jacob was unsuccessful in his effort to teach the Israelites that osculation was an evidence of had manners. When Rachel kissed him ‘‘He lifted up his voice and wept.” But kissing went on all the same. Savannah Press:—lt will not be long before the President of Mexico will be asking “Where to?” when he is invited to get out of the country.^ Atlanta Constitution:—The big corporations didn’t meet the pres ident half way home, but prob ably they telegraphed their in tention to be good. Dawson News:—lt is reported that Joe Hall will go back to the Legislature from Bibb county next time. Good. That body will seem more like itself then. The State has missed you, Joe. Valdosta Times: —The more we learn about the weather they have up North the more we won der why the people up that way do not come South, where they get the advantage not only of good weather, but of exhaustless resources. Tattnall Jour »aL—Tattnall’s representatives at the State Col lege of Agriculture for the short course, in session now, would in spire our adjoining counties to greater effort if they would keep in line with the' progress we are making. Tattnall people are waking up. Hartwell Sun: —We wonder who'll have the first aeroplane in Hartwell. Automobiles are get ting out of date now. Fitzgerald Press:—The fact that Fitzgerald had no county fair last fall is nothing to her credit. The precedent Bhould not prevail. While there may be various ideas as to what a county fair should be, everybody ought to be united in the determination to have one of some description next fall, and work to have one I of the best kind possible. Lyons Progress:—They have started a campaign for better food. That’s good, but what most of us want in these times of high prices is sufficient money with which to buy more food. Daiien Gazette: —Macon wants Atlanta to get that regional bank. And maybe Atlanta will assist Macon in securing the 'state capitol—who knows!
