Bryan, in advocating a “dry
Democracy,’’ has set in on Chi
cago.
The verdict from the Golden
State has been long drawn out.
Evidently they are a deliberate
set.
The women who are adept in
the use of aeroplanes have a
great advantage over the ordi
nary type of “high-fliers.”
Dollars seem to be plentiful,
but the most of them are clothed
with that peculiar elusive glint,
and are rather difficult to capture.
While Ted has lost none of his
old-time vigor, the effect of his
efforts seem to have been oppo
site his intentions. ‘Tis said that
his efforts were for the benefit
of T. It. in 1920.
The boll weevil is said to be
almost invincible, yet scientific
methods of farming rightly ap
plied will no doubt keep him in
the back ground. Stop his prog
ress before he arrives.
There is not enough cotton left
in the average field for the proper
administration of toothache drops
or the bandaging of a bruised toe.
Better seasons for gathering were
never enjoyed by the farmers of
this section.
The recent Georgia products
dinner demonstrates that Geor
gia, as well as all Southern states,
is or should be independent, as
far as food supply is concerned.
Her climate and soil will produce
almost everything grown.
Let Montgomery county farm
ers plant a good acreage of wheat
this fall. Will be needed next
year. Nothing better than home
raised products. During the past
few years it has been clearly
demonstrated that wheat can be
profitably grown in this county.
None so blind as those who
will not see; none so deaf as
those who will not hear. So it
is difficult to convince some peo
ple that blank newspaper cost
money, or that a slight raise in
the price of subscription is neces
sary. Attach a pair of pine
bark spectacles and lend us your
ears —shortly. j
Put that boy in school. The
teacher is accustomed to the ef
fort of pounding sense into his
gourd, even if his parents have
neglected his training. The teach
er is long-suffering and in many
cases gives a child better training
than it receives at home. This
is a sad state of affairs, but true
in many sections.
No matter who the victor or
how liberal the terms of peace,
when the warring nations of
Europe have laid down their arms,
each will have sustained losses
which time and wealth cannot
repair. Well founded or not. we
venture the assertion that another
such contlict will not be staged
during the next century. War
should have no place in the ac
tivities of man.
The Montgomery Monitor fa
vors the oiganization of the
weekly papers of the Twelfth
district into an association as
contemplated, and whether we
are able to attend the initial
meeting in Dublin tomorrow, hope
to unite in furthering the com
mon interests of the newspapers
of the district. These district
organizations cannot conflict with
the State organization, and will
be of mutual benefit to the week
lies of this section.

The exodus of negroes to the
East and North has not been so
great that the South will be

stay there, however, we believe
that as soon as they suffer from
a few cold days they will be
ready to return to the Southland
and then the trouble will begin.

THE GEORGIA
FRUIT EXCHANGE
Perishable Crops, Shipped
in Quantities, Handled
to Advantage.
Atlanta, Ga., November 20.
What is believed to be a long
stride toward the solution of the
marketing problem involved in
the diversification of crops by
farmers of Georgia and southern
states generaly is the plan of
the Georgia Fruit Exchange,
which has just been announced,
to extend its service to all perish
able farm products moving in
carload lots.
Heretofore the exchange has
only handled Georgia peaches,
together with some watermelons
and cantaloupes, and has ren
dered invaluable service in di
recting shipments to cities where
the local markets were not al
ready over-loaded and where
prices were consequently high.
Without some such central agen
cy, constantly in touch with lo
cal market conditions in the large
cities of the east and north,
peach growers would be forced
to ship at random and take their
chances on good prices.
Identically the same service
rendered in the past to growers
of peaches, water melons and
cantaloupes will be rendered in
the future to growers of all perish
able farm products who ship in
large quantities, the plan of the
new service having been worked
out in co-operation with the State
Department of Entomology.
