DEMANDS RELIEF
FROM THE CRAZE
Would Arouse People to Ac
tion Against New
County Schemes.
Editor Constitution: Will the
desire for new counties in Geor
gia never be satisfied? It looks
as if some men who want to be
supported at public expense find
employment in taking a map of
their own and adjoining counties
and with a compass and rule lay
out a territory over which they
would like to preside and draw
fees from, and up to date they
have got everything they have
asked for. The “dear people”
are always a long time realizing
what the politicians are doing to
them, but when they do get
waked up they “do things.”
Mr. Editor, can’t the people of
Georgia be aroused to this great
wrong that is being done them?
The state at large is the sufferer
—our expenses are being con
stantly increased. The legisla
ture is being made cumbersome
and more expensiye. The more
members, the longer the time re
quired to produce legislation that
is necessary to the conduct of
state officials. All this at the
expense of the state. I cannot
understand the influence that is
being brought to bear on legisla
tors to get their consent and co
operation to this collossaf wrong
to the tax payers of Georgia. If
the people will ever stop long
enough to think on this they will
realize its absurdity, put their
feet down on it and then wonder
why they ever permitted it. •
The intelligent editors of Geor
gia newspapers know all this and
if only they will speak out, may
be this long division can be
throttled. You have done your
part; you have pointed out the
absurdity of the work. Let us
hope that other Georgia editors
will do some like good work.
Very respectfully,
John H. Reynolds.

What the War Has
Done for Laurens.
A trip around Laurens county
will soon convince the pessimist
that it requires more than one
European war to put our people
out of business. The fields are
literally laughing in their green
garments of corn, wheat and
oats, while on every side are
seen more hogs and cows and
chickens and fruits and vegeta
bles than have ever been seen in
one year since Laurens has been
a county. Old King Cotton is
not completely abandoned, but
he does not hold the relentless
sway that characterized his rule
at this time last year.
Another picture:
Teams by the dozen loaded
with v, heat were standing around
Pope’s mill Saturday waiting
their turn, and it reminded one
of an October day at one of the
big gins when the farmers wait
to have their cotton ginned.
Hundreds of tons of wheat straw
have been baled and hundreds of
bushels of flour have been ground
for the farmers of the county at
Pope’s mill in the past few days.
Such a sight in Dublin would not
have been dreamed of a year
ago.—-Laurens Citizen.
Sharpening His Teeth.
A commercial traveler, putting
up for the night at his hotel in a
small town, ordered breakfast
for an early hour next morning.
The landlady, preparing the
meal not wishing her guest to be
late, sent a servant girl upstairs
to see if the gentleman was up.
Peering through the keyhole,
the servant, a raw country girl,
espied the traveler at the dress
ing table using his toothbrush.
Coming downstairs, she surprised
her mistress by reporting:
“It’s all right, mum; he’ll be
down directly. He’s sharpening
his teeth.!” I

Special Correspondence*
Intended for last week.
We are all glad to see these
copious showers.
Crops show the result of the
reduction in guano this year.
We note wish pride the exten
sive crop of corn this year over
former years of this food crop.
Mrs. J. A. J. Walker of near
Alston is visiting relatives and
friends in Washington County,
stopping at the home of her
father. Mr. Jas. Vickers.
Mrs. J. E. Harrell has return
ed from a visit at the home of
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Todd,
of Vidalia.
Mrs. W. T. Mcßride has re
turned from an extended visit to
Atlanta where she visited at the
home of her parents.
Little Miss Shellie Tood is
visiting at the home of her sis
ter, Mrs. J. E. Harrell of Alston.
Mrs. J. M. Walker of Alston
is visiting at the home of her
sister, Mrs. Lamb of Swainsboro.
Mrs. Roscoe Smith of Coffee
County was visiting in Alston
Sunday last at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. S. A. Matthews.
We have a let up in the swelt
ering weather after a shower,
but there seems to be no let up
to the Frank case and the war
news. We would like to have a
rest from the Frank case, but as
to the war we will have to wait
and sweat as they fight and bleed.
We would be glad if the Legis
lature would freeze out the new
county movement this time and
give us some more needed legis
lation. For instance arrange to
pay the teachers promptly, and
adjust the chafing yoke of the
Tax Equalization, which has
failed to bring the results the
supporters of it claimed Ready
Money to pay the State’s obliga
tions.
Auto Strikes Hog;
One Man Killed.
Birmingham, Ala., June 19.
James Collins, Jr., merchant, of
Calera, was killed and his father,
James Collins, Sr., fatally in

Ala., when their automobile
struck a big hog in the road and
turned over, pinning them under

Six Per Cent
Money to Loan.
The long term loan company
that I represent has about Seven
ty-five Thousand Dollars that
they are willing to loan in Mont
gomery County during the sum
mer months on improved farm
lands at (J per cent interest. Now
is the time to make your applica
tion for money, if you need it,
while the company is not rushed
with business, and the agent has
plenty of time to get your papers
in proper shape. My company
gives the borrower the privilege
of paying back a part of the prin
cipal each year and stopping the
interest on the amount paid if
desired If yon are going to need
any money next fall, make uppli
cation now and have the loan ap
proved, and if you find later that
you do not need so much, amount
can be reduced without trouble or
expense. Address

He Removed the
Danger Signal
“l suffered a long time with
ave 'y weak back,” writes Fred
Smith, 325 Main St., Green Bay, Wis.
“A few boxes of Foley Kidney Pills
completely relieved me of all soreness
and pain In the back, and now X am
as strong and well as ever."
One cannot belp becoming nervous
and feeling tired and worn out when
the kidneys fail to filter and throw
out of the system the poisonous waste
matter that causes kidney troubles
and bladder ailments.
Backache la one of Nature's danger
signals that the kidneys are clogged
up and inactive. It is often followed
by rheumatism, annoying bladder or
urinary disorders, puffy swellings
under the eyes, swollen ankles and
painful joints.
Foley Kidney Pills get right at the
source of trouble. They Invigorate
the kidneys to healthy action and
when the kidneys properly perform
their functions the poisonous waste
matter is eliminated from the system.

OUR PUBLIC FORUM
Through the Press Service of Agri
culture and Commerce, the master
minds of this nation will be invited
to the public foruf.l and asked to de
liver a message to civilisation. Men
who achieve seldom talk, and men
who talk seldom achieve. There is
no such thing as a noisy thinker, and
brevity is always a close companion
to truth.
It will be a great privilege to stand
by the side of men who can roll in
place the cornerstone of industry; to
associate with men who can look
at the world and see to the bottom
of It; to commune with rnen who can
hear the roar of civilization a few
centuries away.
Too often we listen to the rabble
element of our day that cries out
against every man who achieves,
"Crucify him.” Mankind uever has
and probably never will produce a
generation that appreciates the genius
of Its day. There never will be a
crown without a cross, progress with
out sacrifice or an achievement with
out a challenge.
This Is an age of service, and that
man is greatest who serves the larg
est number. The present generation
has done more to improve the con
dition of mankind than any civiliza
tion since human motives began their
upward Sight. The Greeks gave human
life inspiration, but while her orators
were speaking with the tongues of
angels, her farmers were plowing
with forked sticks; while her phil
osophers were emancipating human
thought from bondage, her traffic

are solving It. Their achievements

The greatest thing a human being
can do is to serve his fellow men;
Christ did It; Kings decree it, and
wise men teach It. It is the glory of
this practical age that Edison could
