Ga.. Thursday Morning, July 1, 1915. The mob spirit was still in evi dence around the home place of Governor Slaton as late as Satur day niprht. As usual in such dis orderly cases, the crowd compos ing the last mol) were fellows of no reputation. The great world war is to be deplored, but there is no disput ing the fact that it has forced on our farmers some conditions that ar<! fast changing our agricultural system into one far safer than the old all-cotton plan. Georgia’s interests were turned over by Governor John M. Sla ton on Saturday last in gooc shape to Governor Nat E. Harris, We predict that. Governor Harrit will come very near to turning them over to his successor in th< same good condition. We saw last week the real es sects of diversified farming wher one of our farmers came througt town with several wagon loads of flour in sacks ground from hit own wheat, and sold them al along the way to people whe wanted to try biscuits made of Montgomery county wheat. The money that has been spent in the last ten years to disrupt and divide up Montgomery coun ty, added tot htit spent to prevent such schemes front being success ful, would make every man, wo man and child in it wealthy if spent in intelligent co-operation to better the condition of the people as a whole. When every business man and fanner in this country gets his business so arranged as to be strict ly independent of war con ditions it can he said that the United States is an indepenpent nation. And we might as well work to that end: for there are no signs of peace among the war ring nations, and there are men and plenty of money to keep up the butchery of human beings for several years. In his inaugural address last Saturday, Governor Harris com mends the tax equalization law, and reveals its true spirit in this paragraph: “Taxes are always hard to pay: they are paid under compulsion, but if the taxpayer feels that he is on an exact equality with his neighbors, that his burdens are no greater in proportion than are the burdens of other citizens sim ilarly situated, the payment of his taxes becomes much easier i and the accompanying sense of injustice is materially lessened.” Every honest and disinterested man in Georgia, who hears the truth about the scheme to ruin Montgomery county by slashing it to death, is ready to speak out against the outrage. The Monroe Advertiser, one of the best news papers of Middle Georgia, says: “Montgomery county is object ing most strenuously to being cut up again. Three times with in the past ten \Yars this county has been sliced that ambitious communities might have new counties, and her protest is a most righteous one. We hope the legislature will heed the ap peal which she is making and will not stand for a further emasculation of Montgomery county. Indeed, the time has come when a halt should be called in the new county business —an agitation w hich takes up a large part of the legislature's time at each session. With more counties now than any other state in the union except Texas—many times as large*—Georgia needs no more counties. So. gentlemen of the General Assembly, give Georgia a rest.” TTTTTTTTTTfTfTTTTTmTTTfi E Gleanings From j t Wisdom’s Field. J £ AtiAAAiAA^ Macon News: The News has received the announcement of a wedding in which the name of the man in the case is absolutely omitted. Os course, it doesn’t matter much, since he will neith er figure much in the marriage nor afterwards, but just for the sake of keeping the record straight we think at least his name ought to be given. Greensboro Herald-Journal The Crawfordville doctor who found a white blackberry must be the same man who thought one of his patients had been eat ing horse flesh. Pembroke Enterprise:—Farm demonstrators are doing good work in several South Georgia [counties, and we would be glad if Bryan would join the band and have one of the up-to-date dem onstrators down here next year. Winder News:—One-third of the fools in the country think they can beat a lawyer expound ing the laws. One-half think they can beat the doctor in heal ing the sick. Two-thirds of them think they can put the minister in the hole expounding the gos pel, and all of them think they can boat the editor running a paper. Hartwell Sun:—Go somewhere take a rest. Railroads are of fering low rates to points all over the country. A little money and time spent on a nice trip is a good investment. It will put new life into you. Eastman Times-Journal:—Cols. W. A. Wooten and J. H. Roberts are spending a part of this week in Atlanta, going up to perform their usual duties in assisting to open the annual session of Geor gia’s General Assembly. Valdosta Times: If anybody has proof that Governor Slaton was bribed, that one ought to come forward with the evidence. Evidence of that sort would put Slaton where some of his critics think he ought to be. i Perry Home Journal:— The Georgia legislature will have a hot time during the fifty days from Wednesday, June 23d. Hot weather and hot politics will, fig uratively speaking, make things boil. Hawkinsville Dispatch-News:— No matter whether Frank is guil ty orinnocent, or whether Gov ernor Slaton did right or wrong in extending him executive clem encp, he is being severely con demned for his action, and the consensus of opinion is that he has forever put an end to his political career, unless at some time in the future Frank proves his innocence, and we doubt very much if he can do this. Nashville Herald: Buzz—chat ter—yow, yow Burwell prohi bition—locker clubs—new county. The Georgia Legislature is in session. Lyons Progress:—The resigna- 1 tion of Bryan is undoubtedly the; crowning achievement of. the! Wilson administration so far. That Bryan behaved as long as he did is the political wonder of the age. Darien Gazette:—The usual' flood of bills is bills is being in-' troduced in the legislature and that body will soon be grinding out a lot of new laws. If we had biennial sessions we would have ; time to learn about the meaning of our new laws. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR— THURSDAY, JULY 1, 1915 Peas for Sale.
