Mount Vernon, Ga.. Thursday Morning, July 15, 1915.
Regardless of what your ideas!
are on compulsory education, you
will have to admit that there is a
cloud of ignorance hanging over;
Georgia that will take heroic ac
tion to remove.
When the present session of
the Georgia legislature has pass
ed into history the same crowd
will be on hand who live on the
delusion that they can legislate
riches into their pockets.
Experiments in this section
with Sudan grass show it to be a'
valuable forage crop. Being of
smaller stem than sorghum or
millet, it cures into hay more
readily, and will no doubt prove
a valuable acquisition.
The members of the Georgia
Weekly i’ress Association, hav
ing, like Kansas grasshoppers,
devoured everything green around
Kastman for three days past, are
now down on the coast trying to
see how much salt water they
can carry without becoming sea
sick or homesick.
On the opposite page we pub
lish a sensible article on county
splitting from the Progressive
Farmer. This is handed us by
a progressive Montgomery coun
ty farmer who reads and thinks
for himself. New county agita
tion and schemes to legislate
money into the pockets of a few
and out of the pockets of the
many are not popular with our
farmers.
It certainly will be bad on
Montgomery county if they suc
ceed in taking another slice off
of it. Toombs got a big piece of
Montgomery, then Wheeler cut
it down in the shape of a shoe
string, now they are trying to
cut oil' the north end of what is
left. If the Legislature considers
such a thing as cutting Mont
gomery again, there will not be
much left only a handsome court
house structure. Covington
News.
Should Kill the New
County Movements.
We note with considerable dis
favor that a strong effort is be
ing made to have several new
counties created by the legisla
ture this summer. It seems to
us that very few really good rea- 1
sons can be advanced for any
such counties this year and hope
sufficient pressure will be brought
to bear upon the representatives
to kill each new county. Many
one-time good counties of Geor
gia have been greatly retarded
in growth and otherwise prac- 1
ticallv ruined by cutting off strips)
until very little was left. The
new counties thus created have
been overtaxed to meet their ex- 1
ponses, and still no material good !
has resulted.
Some of the counties which
were large ten years ago are now
pitiably small and can barely
meet the requirements of exis-;
tenee, but still there are some
people who seem to take a de
light in cutting otr yet more of
the old counties.
A bill to amend the constitu
tion relative to the creation of
new counties is now before the
Mouse and if passed should prove
a barrier to real estate promo
ters and political incompetents
for they are the ones who mostly
promote new county schemes.
We believe we are correct in
stating that our Representative
in the Legislature is opposed to
the further creation of new coun
ties under present methods, and
we wish to commend him for his
stand. The people of the entire)
state can and will prosper to a
greater extent if the evil is les-!
sened by more strict legislation.

Butler Herald:—We are in
debted to Mr. Cooper, of Rey
nolds, for the information that
Jaybird Springs is a noteable re
sort for eczema patients.
Hartwell Sun:—lf you see a
stranger in Hartwell next week
! speak to him—or it may be a
“she.” Anyhow let’s speak to
everybody, and let our guests
know that we’re glad to have
them come to Hartwell.
Atlanta Journal: —The Ameri
can dollar may be shy with most
of us, hut at that it is a nervy
thing compared with the franc.
Darien Gazette: —Some people
are determined to put out con
gressional candidates in this dis
trict many months before the
time is ripe for it. They evi
dently are not aware of the fact
that it cost money to run for con
gress in this district and get de
feated.
Greensboro Herald-Journal:
The lawless element seems to be
in the majority, when city and
: state officials can advocate with
impunity the lynching of a gov
ernor. This condition should put
intelligent men to thinking.
Tattnall Journal:—The ex
tremely good condition of Tatt
nall’s crops makes things around
here look a long way from
panicky. We believe the panic
is mostly talk, anyhow.
Macon News:—We never be
lieved in the doctrine of eternal
and inevitable retribution until
we read where a man who was
practicing on a cornet at mid
night was struck by lightning.
Laurens Citizen:—Someone has
suggested as a first class draw
ing attraction, a joint debate on
the Frank case, by the Hon.
Thos. E. Watson and the Hon.
Jack Slaton. We offer a wager
that it would cop top money, but
think too much of life to run the
risk of attendance.
Monroe Advertiser:—Don’t
know whether or not it’s signifi
cant, but it’s a funny thing that
so few of the editors are going to
( take their wives to that Eastman
meeting on the 13th.
Pembroke Enterprise: Atlan
ta is quiet at last and the dis
graceful scenes enacted in the
Capital City are to be deplored.
These riots and demonstrations
were a blot on the fair name of
Georgia^
Brunswick Banner:—lt is said
there will be a large output of
poetry after the war. Well then,
let the war continue indefinitely.
Lyons Progress:—The Dodge
County Herald, a publication that
had as its chief excuse for exis
tence the boosting of the ex-
Hororable Walter M. Clements
| who last year suffered under the
! delusion that he was a fit subject
to go to Congress from the
Twelfth District, has passed in
its checks at Eastman.
Savannah News:—lt is esti
mated that there are lOO.tXX)
cranks in every 100,000,000 peo
ple, or one to every thousand.
Lots of them aren’t of the dan
gerous brand and needless to say,
lots of them aren’t in what is in
elegantly called the “bug-house. ”
Macon Telegraph:—Time was
when to walk up to a man and
reach back in your pistol pocket
meant trouble. But now, over
tin Alabama, a demonstration of
this sort is regarded as the last
• word in good-fellowship.

Horse Sense.
A school teacher was drilling
her composition class in the rela
tive value of words and phrases.
The phrase “horse sense” was
discussed, and she told one of the
boys to write a sentence contain
ing that phrase.
The boy labored for ten minutes
and produced this:
“My father didn’t lock the
barn door, and he ain’t seen the
horse sense.”
