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. - Tattnall Journal. i fmmTYmmTYmfYm.

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.

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.

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.” Six Per Cent Money to Loan.
