Mount Vernon, Ga., Thursday Morning, April 30, 1014.
Old Georgia, is all right regard
less of politics or Mexicans.
Regardless of the “mentioned”
army. Georgia will have a gov
ernor and junior senator-
It is well that in the confusion
of the hour Memorial Day was
not forgotten in the South-
The fact that President Wilson
wept over the spilling of the first
blood in Mexico proves only the
greatness of the man.
Mediation by South American
countries is all very well, but
some quick meditation by Huerta
is about all that will save his
hide.
We are a people upon which
Dame Fortune continues to smile.
We got in our spring supply of
Mexican sombreros before Huerta
grew so stubborn as to refuse to
salute.
If the United States is forced
to continue the war in Mexico
we need not expect any great
battles by the opposing forces.
The guerrilla greasers will not
come out in the open to shoot.
Montgomery county has no
warriors to rush off to the Mex
ican border. But our people are
in hearty sympathy with Presi
dent Wilson, and expect him to
do the right thing at the right
time.
Perhaps Detective Burns did
not care to discover that Frank
did not murder Mary Phagan un
til excitement began to run high
er in Mexico. But it is quite
probable that he got his money
before lie discovered anything.
That school contest and county
fair ought to divide time with
war talk among Montgomery
county people. Fighting lethar
gy and the dogged indifference
that now lias a grip on this sec
tion is a bigger thing than whip
ping Huerta.
In the mean time, let the corn
club boys stick to their determin
ation to carry on the revolution
at home the complete routing
of old methods in growing corn,
and teaching their dads some
much needed short cuts to inde
pendent living.
The State Democrate Execu
tive Committee probably did the
best they could for us, but there
is going to he a very short time
after the primary for the defeat
ed candidates to go down to
the coast and hear what the
wild waves are saying.
We have have got to have sun
shine. and lots of it, to make our
cotton to grow: but it’s going to
be tough on some of the boys if
they are rushed off to Mexico
after spending the clays of their
young manhood whittling white
pine in front of the stores.
It requires some little energy
to keep up with changing condi
tions in this country. You can’t
catch birds any more by sprink
ling fresh salt on their tails like
you did when a boy. And neither
can you catch the old farmer’s
vote, as in the olden time, by
falling suddenly in love with him
at election time.
Patriotic Georgians still have
the right to say who shall repre
sent them in the highest assem
bly of the nation. In our humble
opinion Hon. John M. Slaton is
better fitted to don the toga of
the lamented Bacon than any of
the gentlemen aspiring to the
place, and will be elected by a
handsome majority.

Darien Gazette: The man who
“stays on the job” now-a-days
is the man who wins. The peo
j pie have got sense.
Monroe Advertiser:—Let us
make this a political vear in
which all the campaigns are
placed on a high level. Let us
forget all those little, mean, un
derhanded things that we are in
♦ lie habit of bringing out against
the candidates and let’s vote for
: the best man.
Perry Home Journal:- When a
congressman or senator “makes
good” in the performance of his
official duty, the party to which
that congressman or senator be
longs suffers loss by the election
of a new and untried man.
Brunswick Banner: Mr. Bryan
has always been an optimist,
more or loss. It seems that there
never was a time when the Mex
ican situation was not “highly
encouraged.”
Athens Banner: —The perma
nent registration law is a good
one. There is no reason why
the simple payment of taxes
should not qualify a man after
he was once qualified on all other
grounds-
Dublin Courier-Herald:—Only
six-of the twelve cities given a
regionat bank have attained to
tlie dignity of a major
league baseball team. Such is
fame.
Lyons Progress:—James Mer
cer, former game warden, says
the great need of Georgia is a
system of rural credits. What
we need worse, in our humble
opinion, is a higher sense of ob
ligation that will bring about
more promptness in paying rath
er than additional avenues of
credit. Credit is already too
cheap in Georgia.
Atlanta Journal:—We hope
Texas doesn’t turn against the
rest of the United States because
she isn't permitted sooner to in
i vade Mexico.
Savannah News:—The Darien
Gazette is 40 years, having been
born April 25, 1574. Editor
i “Dick” Grubb looks back over
the four decades and says:
“While it all hasn’t been sun
shine we are thankful for those
blessings that have come to us.”
Newspaper nr n of Georgia with
out a doubt wish “Dick” Grubb
many more years of blessings.
Valdosta Times:—Huerta had
another “periodical disappear
ance” Monday night- We con
fidently expect them to become
permanent in a few more days.
Pembroke Enterprise: If South
i Georgia could decide on. some
read man for the United States
Senate and would run that man
he would more than likely be
elected, but as long as everybody j
tries to elect a candidate of their
own there is little hope.

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY. APRIL 30. 1014
People of Georgia
Want Price Again.
No doubt but that the people
of Georgia stand ready to endorse
the administration of Hon. James
D. Price, the able and genial
Commissioner of Agriculture.
His administration has resulted
in the uplift of Georgia’s agricul
tural interests, and the entire
state has felt the effect of his
progressive but conservative
methods of conducting the affairs
of this important office.
Mr. Price has for many years
been recognized as one of the
1 most successful farmers in the
! state, and his plantation in Oconee
county is often held up as a
model. He is a great believer in
the plan of intensive farming, of
raising home supplies, and build
ing up the land and the home,
and he never fails to interest the
farmer in safe and sound ideas,
looking to the betterment of con
ditions on the farm—the great
fountainhead of the nation’s
success.
It is a fact worthy of note that
Mr Price, during his first term
as Commissioner, has displeased
only one class of people—certain
western shippers, who sought to
flood the state with spurfius feed
stuff's. Under the law, Mr. Price
promptly seized this chaff and
rotten grain and turned it over
to the sheriff of Fulton county.
Since this occurrence the shippers
of the adulterated foods have
been a little sore on Mr. Price,
but, in realizing that he is on the
alert for such infractions of the
law, do not undertake to palm off
any more trainloads of chaff on
the people of Georgia
“ Uncle Jim” is always on the
job; as far as the people of this
section are concerned, they are
willing for him to serve them
further. In 1912 Montgomery
county gave Mr Price a majority
of nearly 500 votes over two op
ponents, and his friends in this
county today are ready to stand
by him with the usual endorse
ment of a sound administration —
and Mr. Price will continue to
appreciate the unstinted support
of Montgomery county friends.
