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 , ! fVVVTVVTVVVVTTVTTVTVVVTVV# Georgia State 3 ► 4 t Press Expressions. 3 1 t < •AAiAAAAAAAAiiAAiAAIAAAAAA , One of the Progressive leaders , exclaims: "We don’t care who is nominated for President.

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.
