Mount Vernon, Ga.. 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

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

Lyons Progress:—Farmers who

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.
