Mount Vernon, Ga.. Thursday Morning, Auk. 10, 1916.
What the candidates are doing
for us this week is a plenty.
Here's hoping that the best
man wins in every office from
governor down to coroner.
Montgomery county’s first bale
has not been reported yet. The
crop will he short in this county,
but the price will be very good,
from all indications.
Few of our farmers have be
gun picking cotton yet, and we
arc glad they have time to enjoy
the social interchange of ideas
and shake hands at court.
Montgomery county was fortu- 1
nate in not losing more on its
roads by the late flood of rain
than it did. Other counties suf
fered far more than we did.
Our farmers were very much
impressed with some of the solid
facts handed them here Monday
by Hon. J. J. Frown, candidate
for Commissioner of Agriculture.
~ !
In the last few days the legis-j
lature shows signs of a desire to I
dis Dose of some of the measures
affecting the interests of the I
people blocked all this time by
local matters and the annual new
county craze.
Part of the Congressional Rec
ord, given in a brief way in this
paper last week, on the occasion \
of the speech of lion. Dudley M.
Hughes on his vocational educa
tional bill, was the finest compli
ment we have seen paid to a
Southern Congressman in years.
Atlanta will show the real
"Atlanta spirit” in preserving!
the great cyclorama painting and |
reproduction of the battle of At
lanta, now in danger of being
ruined by the weather in Grant
Park. Every Georgian who
visits Atlanta has an interest in
this wonderful picture.
When Montgomery county be-!
gins to pull for the interests of.
the whole people, and ceases to
work for the interests of any one
individual or town, this section
will begin to blossom as the rose
and flourish as the green bay tree.
Every honest citizen can be a !
power in his own sphere in ac
complishing this desired state. «
The shipment of eight thous
and tons of cotton seed meal
through the port of Brunswick,
to be made in a few davs, shows
that foreign countries know more
about the value of this product
of the Soutli than we do. If
cotton seed meal can be trans
ported thousands of miles to
foreign countries and fed at a
profit to live stock, it would cer
tainly be profitable to feed the
meal to live stock here, when it
is considered that there is an ev
er increasing demand for meat.
Two Prisoners Escape
From Jail at Dublin.
Dublin, Ga., Aug., B.—Two
white men, Cecil Maddox and
Foreman Bell, escaped from
the county jail here last night by
prying aside bars of cell window
and dropping to the ground with
ropes made of blankets from
their coats. A cousin of Maddox
was awaiting outside with anau- ,
tomobile for them, and has not
yet returned home.
Both men were furnished a
key from the outside to unlock
bars giving access to the window,
and it is probable that one or
more arrests will follow the es
cape for aiding the prisoners.
Both were held on charge of sell-1
ing whiskey. t

Desirable Condition
To be Attained.
We now have that long looked
for rural credits bill. We will
state frankly that we do not
know whether it is a good meas
ure or not. Most of the papers
that have commented on the bill
say it is, and since the official
j Wall street organ says that it
will never do, we have come to
the conclusion that it must have .
some merit, but what we want to
see more than anything else is a
time when there is no need for
rural credits. That has been one
trouble with the farmers hereto
i fore. They want to get to that
point where they will not want
credit of any kind. Raise plenty
of something to eat at home and
they will soon be there. With a
; few years’ preparation the aver
age farmer can not only have the
! cash to pay for what he has to
buy, but he can have money in
the bank.. Then he can go to the
; merchant who will sell him his
goods cheapest. He will no
longer be a slave to the supply
man who charges an enormous
interest on his goods sold on
time.—Telfair Enterprise.
Restraining the Trusts.
We talk a great deal about re
straining the depredations of the
trusts, and politicians are ready
to promise anything to the farm
er for his vote, but legal restraint
is not near as effective as organ
ized co-operation among the far
mers themselves.
The farmer is the final judge
in a contest betw’een two mer
chants who want to supply him
with his fertilizers, his seed, his
implements or his automobile.
| Let the farmer inform himself as
;to prices, as to markets, and up
on all other points affecting his |
business. This advice is good in
| connection with what is known
1 as rural credit.
We discuss the matter else
where, but we wish here to em
phasize the importance of the sar
i mer who wants credit going to
the local banker and seeing what
arrangements he can make with
that banker for the money he
needs.
If he will open an account and
do a banking business, and es- 1
| tablish in the minds of the bank- !
|er and merchant respect for his
commercial sagacity anil probity, '
he will, in most instances, be
able to secure what credit he
needs.
It is community co-operation
that we are advising. Take the 1
banker and the merchant and the •
express agent into your confi
dence, and into your club if they
will come. But see to it that they
contribute their knowledge and
their influence for the promotion
of the interests of that whole
community. Home & Farm.
Wants to Get Luse.

ceived by a local attorney a day
