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.

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.
