Mount Vernon. 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.”

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.

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.
