Thursday Morning, Oct. 19, 1916. Those who made hay under the August and September suns should not allow it to mold under the October sun. Uuse the hay press before the fall rains. Every auto manufacturer claims the greatest mileage per gallon, hut John I). has the satisfaction of measuring it out to all of them. The contest is too universal to be exciting. And now comes the sad and stunning increase in the price of shoes just at the approach of winter, and in full knowledge that they are not all made in (iermany, either. The European war is not an ill wind to the hundreds of almost obsolete sailing vessels which the demands of commerce have brought forth. During the past week Savannah has enjoyed calls from a number of the old-timers. Baseball, the great national curse, has about closed up shop for tin; season, and the football craze is now demoralizing the scholastic work of the average college. Strange that our edu cational institutions cannot exist, (so it is-said) without these far cical appendages. Dovers of the festive or the material have every opportunity in a continuous round of fairs to indulge the taste. Doubtful if any state in the union will have more county fairs this fall than Georgia, and as a result Georgia people will have received a great agricultural, educational and com mercial uplift. No other school of learning or inspiration com pares to the fair. A dollar invested in the county paper will bring greater returns than any deal we know of. The man who does not provide his family with this necessity is un patriotic. Patriotism, likecharity, should begin at home. Deprive your boy of a knowledge of home affairs and you have robbed him of that manly grasp of national questions belonging to the man of more mature years. Well enough that Uncle Sam’s soldier boys will be given an opportunity of camping on the border. Every regularly enlisted man should be given this oppor tunity, especially those who have boon penned up in mobilization camps during the entire summer. To see a regiment on review is but to reflect that the footfall of a nation’s soldiery is but a pul sation of its national life. It is hoped that Montgomery county ( dieials are ready to co- j operate with the state highway ; commission in the matter of road j building and improvement. This county has smiie good roads, but j they must be better. The ad vanced age demands it. May the time be not far distant when every county in Georgia will have i a perfect system of highways, j No greater civic asset to any; community. Do not w ait too late to lend a dollar to the Wilson campaign fund. Every citizen, besides having a patriotic interest in President Wilson’s re-election, j should be proud to add his mite toward the financial end of the political drama. The satisfac tion of having aided the most praiseworthy administration of the age is worth more than the j amount you contribute. Or, af ter another glorious victory is achieved by the Democratic party, do not be too loud in prais- , ing the work “we" did. < TfYummYfYrrmmm Georgia State t Press Expressions. There are nearly 50,000 automo biles in Georgia. No wonder so many of us are wondering where we are to get a fall suit of clothes. —Savannah News. An inconspicious sentence in a recent newspaper editorial con cerning the capital removal prop osition, suggested that there might be a north Georgia and a South Georgia in reality within the very near future. Stranger things have been brought about, but this writer is opposed to any new territorial division in Geor gia. Our state is the best in the South, and thus it would not be better with any new division.— Perry Home Journal. It is estimated by persons who are competent to judge, that ten thousand acres planted to wheat in will yield sufficient Hour to feed the county. The estimate is based on a yield of ten bushels per acre and 38,(HX) in habitants. There ought not to be a single barrel of flour shipped into Laurens county after next June, when the wheat crop will be gathered.— Citizen. How do you spend your Sun days? Do you spend them in such a manner that when Monday morning comes, you feel refresh ed, more kindly toward your fel lows, you feel as if you had much to do in the world, or do you come to the beginning of the work time tired and without vision?— Walker Co. Messenger. The fellow that takes the paper five years without paying for it and kicks on something he sees in it reminds us of that devout Christian (ahem) who roasts the preacher every Sunday for some thing he said—and hasn’t paid one red brownie to support him in ten years! Hartwell Sun. The full effect of the boll weevil will not be felt in this county for at least three years. In certain sections of Alabama and Mississ ippi, however, the farmers tried to plant everything in cotton this year for they thought it was their last opportunity before the Mexi can pest took charge. Their crop is a complete failure. The only successful way to beat the boll weevil is to plant food crops. Dublin Courier-Herald. The Macon Telegraph ought to have known that there was some thing wrong with the report that came to it from Atlanta regard ing the intention of Governor Harris to make speeches against Hugh Dorsey in the Dorsey coun ties, or it ought to have had the report verified before following it up with a foolish editorial at tacking Dorsey the next day.— Valdosta Times. There must be some inaccuracy in the reports from Mexico that we have been reading. For years it has been stated that the coun try was devastated and swept clean of everything movable, and now the announcement is made that certain parties have been arrested for smuggling cattle from Mexico into the United States.—Macon News. Were you ever envious of the fellow who was doing all he could to further the best interest of the grand old commonwealth? Don’t all speak at once. —Millen News. And now it turns out that Governor Harris is not going to stump the state against Gover nor-Elect Dorsey. That’d be our idea of a pretty good thing not to do. —Nashville Herald.
