It mitfht be a good thinj? for the European war to last beyond the next cotton planting time. You can put it down as a fact j that Georgia will emerge from j the war panic with as little loss; and inconvenience as any of the cotton states. You do not have to ask the valorization of the rust-proof oat, the cow pea and the old Georgia yam. They possess a value that cannot be questioned. When the old farmer has fought through the panic, in spite of all the prescriptions offered for his relief, some fellow will be still busy on a new plan to finance the cotton crop. Every farmer in Georgia ought to attend the state fair in Macon, war or no war. These wonder ful object lessons have never failed to pay big returns on the little cost of attendance. No man who is sincere about this cotton acceptance of mer chandise proposition can very well refuse a securely safeguard ed fractional receipt, it would seem. Macon Telegraph. Congressman Hughes has call ed for an investigation on the cotton seed problem, and wants to know why seed should sell at half price this year when they should be higher than last year. Several South Georgia counties are showing commendable enter prise in inaugurating county fairs. If we could have more county fairs and less politics, our people would be more prosperous. The live stock industry may be stimulated by the demand in Eu rope for American horses and mules. Hut the greatest incen tive to a Southern farmer to'raise more live stock should be the great possibility of permanent soil fertility. Dublin has a new paper, the Laurens Citizen. The paper is well edited and bears the marks of a competent printer’s hand. The paper starts out under most favorable circumstances as to make up and patronage, and should succeed. Sugar cane is only one of the many iraportantsources of money products in South Georgia. Peo ple buy corn stalk syrup in cans, even from country stores, simply because they cannot get real cane syrup. Millions of cans might be put up. and would furnish one of the finest food products in the world. Boys were taught in the schools years ago that the congress of these United States reserved the right to coin money and regulate commerce. If that was true, why is it that congress today a Democratic congress cannot and will not relieve the cotton farm ers of the South by some bit of legislation? The South has never seen a more opportune time for the es tablishment of cotton factories. Lotion will clothe the people of the earth as long as people exist, ami the factory closest to the cotton fields ought to have a de cided advantage over one that must freight its raw material across the ocean.

Perhaps they were too busy with their fall fashions. They are certainly getting i down to business on the other side but think of the terrible slaughter of people andtheawful devastation of the country! And still we think our lot is hard.— Darien Gazette. Bryan Enterprise: If the hens of this section would get over their war scare so we could get an egg with our hominy once and awhile we could view the situa tion with brighter hopes. Laurens Citizen: —Be on the safe side and sow a large crop of grain this fall. Oats, sown in the fall of the year make heavier grain, and are less liable to be killed by the cold weather. Adel News:—There is no room in this favored section for the growler. Business depression will not last long; in fact, there isn’t much of quietude here now. You can’t keep this sea island section down. We produce the things that the world has to have. Cordele Dispatch: We know of no force bill which requires any editor to read this paper. If you don’t like it, then let it alone. Study your own policy of silence and let us alone. Don’t let it worry you about our opinions, but simply try and have a few opinions of your own. Macon Telegraph: Thousands of women in France have begun to knit vests for the soldiers as one of the preparations against . the approach of winter. They would find cotton vests much more sanitary. Tattnall Journal: —lt is an nounced that Europe is begin | ning to import great quantities of American agricultural imple -1 ments. They must be planning ■ to hammer them into rapid-fire arms. I Greensboro Herald-Journal: — We do not favor the county unit plan. Neither do we favor the state convention plan. It gives the political crooks too good a ! chance to buy themselves and (their friends a fat job. We like the old way—straight shot elec tions and the man that gets the most votes takes the office. Dodge Co. Herald:—The farm ers of this country should come together and establish a packing house for the curing and saving of meat at all seasons of the year. They should also ariange j a meat exchange to find a market for the surplus meat which they are bound to produce. Hawkinsville Dispatch-News: The farmers are being urged to diversify their crops next year and it might be well for them to try tobacco. Wayne county far mers are said to have made a net profit of SIOO per acre on tobacco this year, and that beats cotton all to smash. Monroe Advertiser:—We don’t believe the report sent out from the seat of war that the Ger mans lure the Allies into danger ous positions by disguising their artillery as wine gardens. Savannah Press:—From the number of Americans who return from Europe and come home with tales of being thought a spy we are led to believe all Europe looks ,on us with suspicion.
