Ga.. Thursday Morning, July 10,' 1919. As a drunk producer, benzine has been tried in some of the Northern cities. We have seen people full of gas, but did not know the method of production. To say the least of it, a little gasoline now and then may be a good remedy for hookworms, cylinder oil being used in propor tion to the result desired. Government statistics show that as a result of the war, and the consequent demands of the j government, together with its aid, the farming interests of the United States have advanced twenty years above the prewar status. In every state and sec tion more interest has been taken in improved methods, and the farmer has learned to a great ex tent the value bf government aid and research. The farmer who does not adopt the latest and highest standard cannot hope for the success to which his efforts entitle him. We cannot understand why any one in the interior should be an tagonistic to Savannah. Common respect for old age should pre clude the possibility of such in differences as Savannah has re cently had occasion to complain of. Georgia’s greatness emanat ed from a modest but permanent base on the banks of the Savan nah, now a full-blown metropolis, and Georgia, in her mature wealth and commercial dignity, should ever remember Savannah as the fountainheud of state develop ment, of which every loyal Geor gian should be justly proud. We have no rabid criticisms to cast at the mother of Georgia, the greatest state in the union. In the capital removal contest recently staged between the Gate City and the Central City, At lanta may claim that grass grows on the streets of Macon, and like wise, Macon may cast stones at Atlanta. Macon may throw red water on Atlanta and Atlanta may use Peachtree switches on Macon, thus developing a quarrel which the people of Georgia alone may have to settle. True, At- j lanta, is a great city—a modern metropolis of magnificient pro portions, whose influence is felt throughout the realm—but Macon ' is right there, and has been since , the mound-builders began her development perhaps ten cen-' turies ago. In fact. Macon was a center of activity among the Red Men before Sir Walter Raleigh first touched foot on Georgia soil. Give Macon credit for an early start. Authorities advise that since the postage rate has been reduc ed one-third, the saving should be invested in War Savings Stamps. This theory is good, and so were the several methods of raising funds for the prosecution of the war to a successful end while the war was on. But. sad to say, with victory came a gen- ■ eral indifference on the part of the American people. Months ago every post office was busy handling War Savings Stamps some of them overrun. The greater per cent, of these stamps have been redeemed most of them for no cause on earth ex- i cept to gain surplus change to blow in on some fool, frivilous desire. The war taught much, and much was gained, but the prime essential, thrift, while im pressing itself on the American people under the stress of the past few years, is apparently a dead issue. It is the case in this section of the country, at least. Wake up, Deople: the devil is not dead, and poverty and indiffer ence still abide on every corner. rYYVTfYYYTYYTVTVVVTVVVfTf* ► Georgia State J ► 4 ► Press Expressions. ◄ * 4 The way that candidates are announcing over in Emanuel county is a sure sign that politics will be the topic for some months to come in that section. About a dozen have already announced for various offices and more than a score more have announced their intention of following suit. —Soperton News. Agriculture is the basis of all prosperity and when all the labor is withdrawn from the farms in order to make the public im provements that all these bond issues call for, what will be the consequences.—Vidalia Advance. German newspapers are using black borders on their papers, indicative of mourning, and it will not hurt any if they are re quired to so live and conduct themselves that the mourning will be more fact than fiction. A country that has caused the rest of the world to mourn should have her own share of it. — Marietta Journal. When the people make up their minds to vote for competency, and shut their eyes to everything else but competency when they go to vote, then we will have offi cers that we can depend on to properly fill the positions to which they are elected, and not before. We have thoroughly made up our mind, so far as we are con cerned, to vote for no man, re gardless of kinship, whom we do not believe to be thoroughly qualified to fill the office to which he aspires. —Swainsboro Forest- Blade. The Germans have signed the peace treaty and the great world war is now officially at an end. President Wilson has already sailed for home and he is bring ing with him a complete copy of the treaty, also a draft of the League of Nations constitution. He is going to take it before the people if the Republican Senators fail to approve it, and when he gets it before the people these same Senators will come over on i his side. —Springfield Herald. t . Some of the schools of the country are already returning to ( sanity. The state board of educa tion of Virginia has decreed that the German language shall con tinue to be taught in the public schools of that state. That is sensible. Our people are going to continue to trade with the Germans, and it will be to their advantage to know how to speak the German language.— Lyons Progress. No section of America is more rapid transition than that ordi narily designated as the moun tains. Formerly the home of the feudist, the hiding place of the moonshiner, and the inspiration of many stories of romance and adventure, the mountains today are writing a different sort of history. If our Church is to undertake its obligation in this important region, it must act quickly.— Christian Observer. An eastern doctor says his new cure for the flu makes it no worse than a boil on the neck. Anybody who thinks a boil on the neck is a mere trifle never had one. — Nashville Herald. If the G. C. and P. Railway is abandoned and scrapped and the South Georgia folks let the bridge over the Altamaha get away from them without turning it into an auto bridge they deserve not to have the old stream bridged for some time to come. — Savannah Press. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR —THURSDAY, JULY 10. lfllfl. War invariably alters the trend of nations and changes the prin ciples by which they are govern ed. For instance, a few months ago the universal slogan was win the war with food, and settle on gome form of procedure by which I the high cost of living could be successfully dealt with. Now it appears that the double proposi tion has resolved itself into a war to win food and combat the cost i of high living. Food values have been inflated to the extent of engaging the attention of every I individual. I Notice to Debtors and Creditors, Georgia—Montgomery County. All creditors of the estate Mrs. Sarah J.
