Thursday Morning, July 29, 1915. Georgia now has 148 counties anti many of the legislators are of the opinion that that number is quite sufficient, for the pres ent, at least.—Darien Gazette. Gentlemen of Georgia’s Gener al Assembly, there is nothing in the report t hat Montgomery coun ty is trying to secede from the state. Cut us one more time and secession can’t save us. The highway robber is a gen tleman compared to the dirty pup who will lie and lie against his next-door neighbor and his home town and county fora few paltry dollars with which to fill his burnt-out gullet with more whis ky and more beer. According to expressions of the German press, Germany does not like the tone of our last note, j They had just, as well be getting used to our style of note-writing, ! the indications being that we will have to write them several epistles before the war ends. It is claimed that the British government is very busy devising away for disposing of the South’s coming cotton crop so as to avoid a repetition of last year’s experi ence. It is about time for An drew Carnegie to rise up and tell them again that the only remedy the South expects is in the close of t he war. The old threadbare lie that no one is opposing the Treutlen proposition, to again cut Mont gomery county in half, except this paper has been overworked until the Georgia legislature is on to it, as they are on to the com panion falsehood that the people of this county are willing and anxious to be ruined that a few men may be made richer. We know very little of the Stripling case, but if Gov. Harris has nothing greater as a incent ive to Stripling’s pardon than the mere fact that a six-year-old child lias asked for it, we fear that sentimentalism is playing too much of a part in such matters. Notiiing has done more to foster tin 1 spirit of lynch law in Georgia than a sickly sentiment that every criminal is due a pardon before he has served half his time. Montgomery county has a good public school system, which our, county school superintendent, Hon. A. B. Hutcheson, has la- ( bored for years to bring to its present efficient state. We are| also fast acquiring a good system of public roads under the super vision of County Warden Ferrell. Cut Montgomery county in half arum, and the finances for these institutions will be so reduced that they must practically cease. No one but a paid hireling would go before tin' Georgia legislature and falsely accuse our people of being in favor of any such sui cidal and unreasonable scheme. Montgomery is sadly in need of a Moses who can lead its peo ple out of the wilderness of disruption and confusion and s*art them to pulling for their own interests. Interests that can only be conserved by honest co-operation—neighbor working with neighbor in the God-given way of co-operative help. Such co-operation that will shut out the detestible schemer who is continually seeking to put more money in bis pocket by dissension and questionable legislation for selfish ends. We realize that the task is a stupendous one, and that such a man would be second only to the hero of the burning, bush. i YYmYmYYTTTYYYYmmt* Gleanings From ► Wisdom’s Field, 2 •AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Dublin Courier-Herald:—You may talk about your lemonade, your grape juice, your ice tea, or your foaming glass of beer, but give ns a glass of thick, ice-cold buttermilk arid you may have all the rest. Valdosta Times: —With a sub marine that can sail all the way across the ocean, smite the ene my and come back home, Uncle Samis able to give Germany a few “object lessons” in case of a clash with that country. Pembroke Enterprise:—More I corn and hogs are being raised |in the south this year than has ever been known before and the expense of growing the crop will be nearly 50 per cent, less than last year. This is shown by of ficial report sent out by four states, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina and Alabama. Hawkinsville Dispatch-News: - -The senate of Georgia has pass ed a bill prohibiting whites from teaching in negro schools and negroes from teaching in w'hite schools. This is a good measure and if made a law will be a good thing for both races as it will force each to stay in their proper places. Lee County Journal: —It is time the people were learning not to follow politicians who seek to influence votes in all elections, for usually such men have only selfish motives behind them. When you vote, vote your con victions regardless of any man or set of men. We hope some day to see the Australian ballot system in Georgia. Perry Home Journal: —If Eng , land prohibits the shipment of U. S. goods to other countries, why should not the United States prohibit the shipment of the same class of goods from this country to England? Cedartown Standard:—Bale of I Floyd, and Brown of Clark, in troduced a hill Tuesday in the House repealing the state prohi | bition law. Huh! Don’t think this Brown-Bale Bill will pass. Its authors are out of step with the progress of the world. . Clinch Co. News:—A legislator from Fulton county has intro duced a bill in the House for lo cal option, restricting the sale of j whisky to all cities with 7000 in habitants. It is a safe bet that his bill will not be passed. Macon Telegraph: The Kaiser says the war will be over in Oc tober. Hope he’s right, hut fear his ludship may be better at starting wars than he is at end ing them. Greensboro Herald-Journal:— The month of July is famous for foolishness. There’s the Fourth of July celebration; an entire month of the Georgia Legisla ture: reports of “Little Joe” and Tom Tit tying up: but the single virtue in the meeting of the Geor gia weekly editors. Lyons Progress:—Farmers who have given all their attention to the growing of a cotton crop to the neglect of everything else this year, have done so fully aware of the risk they were tak ing, and if the sheriff gets them they have no one to blame but themselves. Macon News:—There is this much to be said in favor of drink ing water: It doesn’t cause a man’s wife to wear her last year's ; i hat. Nor has anybody ever com- 1 < mit ted murder because of it I THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—-THURSDAY, JULY 20 1915 South a Grain Grower. Grist mills and flour mills are just now busier than ever. Many of the small flour mills in Georgia have more wheat ahead to be ground into flour than for many years. Some of these mills are putting in machinery to double their capacity. This is one of many evidences that diversified agriculture has arrived. The South is going to feed herself. Louisiana wheat has already made an appearance in northern mar kets. The largest are of corn ev er grown in the South is now being raised. The mills will be put to it to grind the corn raised in their vicinity, not to mention oats and wheat. No longer may may it be said of a certain south ern state that the money it paid out for the cereals and meat it yearly it yearly imports from the west and north exceeds the total amount received for its cotton crop. Every southern farmer will get rich who raises on his own farm pretty much everything consumed by his family, his help and his live stock, so that the stuff sold off the farm shall be largely net profit. By the old plan our southern cotton planters impoverish themselves to enrich the thrifty farmers of the west, who were thrifty enough to fur nish at high prices the grain and meat which our folks should have produced themselves.—Southern Farming.
