Mount Vernon, Ga.. Thursday Morning, August 2, 1017.
Life is too short to worry about
the weeds on your neighbor’s
sidewalk. Swat a few around
your own premises and leave the j
balance to the town marshal.
The Germans seem to think
that the Russians show one* qual
ity, whether acquired by nature
or training—that of running.
Pity these people cannot control
their feet at a critical stage of
the game.
The Georgia Assembly is now
perplexed as to the whereabouts
of 20,000 gallons of wine belong
ing to a rich estate in Southwest
Georgia, its legal status, why it
has remained unmolested by offi
cers of the law, and what dispo- \
sition can be made with it if left
up to the legislators.
Ever hear these mossbacks
growling about the cost of this
and the cost of that? Just ask
them how much they have ever
contributed to any enterprise,
and you will be greeted with a
golden silence. The man who
accomplishes things does not have
to blow; the man who does noth
ing has to blow in order to be
noticed.
Ambition vs Ruination.
There are a thousand and one
elements in a new county fight,
everything from the sublime to
the ridiculous while the fate of
a people depends on the whims
of a few individuals. Fora dozen
years Montgomery county has
been the victim of the ambitions,
mainly financial, of a few in
dividuals who have gradually
seized the greater part of the
county. During this process the
country people have been hood
winked to a shameful degree,
and in most instances their ap
peals to the General Assembly
have gone unheeded. This state
of affairs doubtless applies to
other Georgia counties, but cer
tainly Montgomery is the clearest
example of county butchery for
individual benefits yet put before
the people of Georgia.
The sea pirates of old. or the
insidious methods of our present
foreign enemies, as for that,
have not been more bold than
the schemes resorted to in con
tinual efforts to divide up Mont
gomery county for the selfish in
terests of a few men—dollars for
some, political preferment for
others. Strictly speaking, the
country people of Montgomery
county have had in The Mont
gomery Monitor, and still have,
an advocate whose efforts have
been well spent toward the defeat
of the annual scheme to ruin the
county for the benefit of a few
energetic business men of Soper
ton. The political power of these
people is conceded, but when vital
interests of the county are at
stake, it is high time the citizens
of the county were demanding
their rights—rights which they
have long since been deprived of
by unholy ambitions.
How far we have succeeded is
known, and we believe appre
ciated by the majority of the
country people; how long we can
hold out against such heavy odds
remains to In? seen. And while,
in years gone by. we have had
the co-operation of a number of
loyal assistants, the county paper
has borne the burden and suffer
ed more financial loss than any
other man in Montgomery coun
ty—money which we will never
recall, and losses which we will
doubtless never regain. But be
that as it may, the country people
of Montgomery county are wel
comed to our efforts and our
limited means.

Repeal of the tax equalization

We have suspected for some

It is said by Commissioner

It now looks as though Georgia
will have a state-wide school tax
law. It is to be hoped that our
educational laws will be improved
at this session of the state legis
lature. Education is one thing
that the Empire State has been
backward in and now is as good
time as any to remedy the evil.
The state-wide school tax bill has
been reported favorably by a
‘joint committee from the House
and Senate and it should, by all
means, pass without a hitch.

The Crazy-Quilt Idea.
Many of the new county pro

ly no ground upon which to ask
for a new county. It is not be

but we think it is time to cut
out the new county business un
til a future date, when the people
are better able to pay the ever
increasing taxes. —Cairo Messen
