Ga.. Thursday Morning, September 20. 1017. Doubtless Mr. Watson will! soon discover that Uncle Sam is also a man of methods, and a pa- ‘ tron of ways and means. German sentiment to the Ger man mind may be classed as cul ture, but in the eyes of the out side world it is recognized as a flagrant form of savagery. The call of patriotism is so loud that almost anybody should hear it, and heed with profit to the country. It is a universal call. Have you done anything for the cause? Another season drawing on, and no meat curing plant in Mt. Vernon, or Montgomery county, yet. A lack of such an enter prise will cost the farmers of this section several thousand dollars this year. Did you can anything this sum mer? The harvest is about past for vegetables, but not too late to preserve sweet potatoes. This is one of the South's most staple crops, and one which is subject to more waste than any other. With its busy days on, the gov ernment cannot regulate every thing at once, but suffice it to say that many things may come to those who wait. A drop in the price of newspaper or coal would interest us just now. The Monitor unites with the Georgia press in lamenting the death of Editor It. Y. Beckum of the Laurens Citizen. He was a newspaper man acquainted with every branch of the profes sion, and altogether was a shin ing mark in Georgia journalism. Money easily made is so often wantonly spent. Most farmers who have made money on this year’s cotton crop have an oppor tunity of investing a part of it. Those who do not own farms should buy at once; land will never be any cheaper. It is possible that the entry of America into the fray has saved the allies from defeat, and it is also possible that America will find it necessary to remain in the fight some time in order to keep from sharing the fate which heretofore stared the allies in the face. This is a free country, of course, but it is disgusting to see fakirs robbing the innocent-minded countrymen with a little sweeten ed or peppered slops, sold as curealls. During superior court in this place scores of Montgom ery county citizens are loaded up on this class of jlink, while, in many cases, their creditors go unanswered. Congressman Larsen of the Twelfth has introduced a mens- j ure, which, if passed, will have the effect of altering the rules of the secretary of war, allowing at present the existence, in organ ized form, only one religious or ganization and one secret organi zation on the encampment grounds of the several large mil itary camps in the United States. Such privileges are allowed the Y. M. C. A., the purposes and plans of which are too well known for reference, and the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic secret order. The Larsen bill would al low all denominations and rep utable secret orders to maintain working organizations on or in touch with military camps, other wise it would have such privileg es withdrawn from the Knights of Columbus. It is a wise and consistent measure. ! »YYYYY»Y»YfYYYYY»YYYYmY* ► Georgia State ◄; £ <\ Press Expressions. •AiAAAIAAIAAAAAAAAAAAAiAii There is strong talk of govern ment prosecuting Mr. Watson and other anti-draft gaitatorsand the public is waiting almost breath less for the first move to be made. No use to hold your breath so long, friends, when the Government gets ready to strike, they are go ing to get the entire band of agi tators at one sweep. Thousands of secret service men are right now all over the country getting particulars. —Springfield Herald. Other counties seem to be losing their help on the roads. The roads of Crisp are among the best in Georgia, hut those who have to care for them are com plaining about the loss of help on account of the diminishing num ber of prisoners. The county may some day well afford to hire a free labor. It will be cheaper than maintaining institutions to punish crime.—Cordele Dispatch. The Centrists significantly re mind the Pan-Germans that Wil son will be President until 1921. And perhaps they should be fur ther reminded that America will be right here for several years thereafter.—Savannah News. An exchange suggets that food speculators must be madetokeep their feet out of the trough. A good idea. Then feed them only on the husks. Monticello News. What happened in Hawkins ville on Sunday night should serve to give pause to anti-draft agitators. If the foreign-born men who fought the officers and posse had heard no treasonable utterances from native Georgians, it is improbable that the tragedies recorded would have occurred.— Metier Advertiser. It used to be that if it was “Made in Germany” it was al right but it won’t be that way any longer. One in favor of the war. —Hartwell Sun. If your fall garden has not done well, there is time enough 1 to plant over such things as tur ' nips, onions, rape and cabbage. Don’t under any circumstances, 1 neglect this. Lee Co. Journal. , | There are some people who may not be lazy, and yet they have the gift of conservatism when it comes to the expenditure of energy; there are others* who may not be liars, and yet they practice a questionable economy in their dealings with the truth; there are still others who may not be cowards, and yet their lives are filled with occasions up on which they were very, very careful. Monroe Advertiser. Mr. Hoover, the food adminis trator, says the government can not regulate the price of meat. His department has regulated the price of the farmer’s wheat, but it is too big a job for the govern ment to fix the price at which the meat packers shall sell their products to the consumers, ac cording to Hoover’s reasoning.

The lowly sweet potato has at last come into its own and is now one of the most conspicuous items on the hotel menu.—Pembroke Enterprise. The new state cattle tick erad ication law, passed at the recent session of the legislature, will be enforced to the letter.
