Mount Vernon, Ga.. Thursday Morning, July 24, 1919.
The Ellis health law would
seem to be a good thing, and a j
number of counties are adopting
it. In connection with the health j
law, vital statistics should be
kept in every county in the state.
Emanuel county has already
put a number of candidates in
the field. Evidently they believe
in the policy of the early bird.
This is a good idea a bird cannot
tell what time a worm will be
found in the open.
Hon. Dudley M. Hughes, for
mer congressman of the Twelfth
district, is prominently spoken of
as a candidate for the governor
ship from South Georgia. He
would make the state a most
creditable executive, ripe in ex
perience and of unquestioned abil
ity.
Mr. Wilson pronounces the
treaty a world settlement. As
such, it should be immediately
ratified. The world never stood
more in need of permanent settle
ment of its affairs than at pres
ent. The world clamors for rest
and mankind longs for perma
nent peace.
It may be unfortunate that the
capital removal question arose,
but it will still be more unfortu
nate if it is not settled. It is
quite probable that the fight will
cost the state as much as a new
building. Better let the people
settle it right now, for only the
voice of the people can adjust the
controversy.
These guardians of human lib
erty who bewail the fate of the
liquor maker and the rum sucker
may also extend their sympathies
to Kaiser Bill and his gang of
murderers and plunderers. This
class of wretches has ever been
enemies of the human race
some in one form and some in
another, but about on a par, as
far as results are concerned.
May be impossible to convince
Borne men that the world is round,
but all of the skeptics are now
aware of the presence of the
boll weevil. The result of his
activities will be more evident
when weighing time comes.
Gentlemen of the plow, you car
live on food not suited to the
appetite of the weevil—home-f
made biscuits and home-raised
bacon, for instance.
Georgia is destined to become a
great stock-raising state, and the
authorities of most counties are
co-operating with the Federal
department in the enforcement
of the anti-tick laws. The most
flagrant cases of opposition have
been arising in Lowndes county
for several years. One of the
leaders in the opposition has re
cently been placed behind the
bars, as an example for the evil
doer. One of the foremost coun
ties in the state, Lowndes cannot
atford to be held up as an exam
ple of rebellion to law and meas
ures enacted for the good of the
farmer and stock raiser.
The people of Tattnall countv
have recently found it necessary
to assemble in massmeeting to
convince the county commission- j
ers of that county of their ap-j
proval of the farm bureau and
demonstration work, which, ac
cording to the expression of the
people, was ordered continued.
Just because Tattnall county’s
territory has been reduced to a
mere nothing is no reason why
the remaining progressive people
in that section should be deprived
of such advantages as they and
all other wide-awake counties
are entitled to. Every county
capable of maintaining county
gavernment should have an es- i
ficient county demonstrator, with
out which that county’s agrieul-l;
tural interests are sure to lag. ■;

t Press Expressions.
It is certainly pitiful to read
the very weak arguments that
are being put up by the Atlanta
committee against the submission
of the capital removal question
to a vote of the people. We say
let the people vote on the matter
so that it can be settled. If it is
not settled it is going to be an
issue for years and it will certain
ly cause more dissension like it is
than it will cause if it is allowed
to be voted on. —Springfield
Herald.
Sentiment in favor of investing
money in good roads is growing
stronger in Monroe county. The
people are paying taxes in the
form of lost time and wear and
tear of vehicles of travel and
they will soon demand that this
money be spent for permanent
improvement of the roads. When
the country people get behind
such a movement the politicians
will follow suit. Forsyth Adver
tiser.
The federal trade commission
expresses the opinion that if
nothing is done about it the five
meat-packing concerns will soon
control the world’s food supply.
The federal trade commission has
been in existence now for several
years. Why nothing else but
talk lias been done to curb the
monopoly is something that the
1 mg-sufFering public cannot un
derstand. - Lyons Progress.
The Weather Bureau ought to
he abolished if it can't furnish
any better weather than it has
thus far in 1919. And they keep
sending the Georgian bulletins
that don’t get published telling
what weather we had the past
week, when everybody knows it
rained pitchforks. And when it
isn’t raining it’s making up for
one. Southeast Georgian.
The Advertiser donates qo pub
licity to private enterprise —if it
knows it. Several lettersenclos
ing propaganda from a Michigan
firm have been received during
ho past week, the very evident
object of which is to advertise
.in Eastern firm which happens
to he in the public view. Infor
(mation of this character, while
perhaps interesting to our read
ers. possesses too much the color
of self-interest for production in
our columns. —Metter Advertiser.
There seems to be a sweeping
sentiment for Charlie Edwards to
represent the First District in
Congress again. Evidently, there
is a material deterioration in the
representation of our District
since Mr. Edwards retired as one
voter expressed it, “Charlie is
alive and on the job.’’ The First
Congressional District of Georgia
is one of the most important
Districts in the state and should
have in Congress at all times, a I
man who is alive, capable and
willing.— Claxton Enterprise.
The Carroll Free Press takes a
most reasonable view of the capi- i
tol removal question, and ex-1
presses it most clearly. We
agree that very few people out
side of Macon and Atlanta are
worrying about it at all, and At
lanta seems to be more excited
over it than Macon. The capitol
certainly does lielong to the peo
| pie of Georgia and they should be
able to move it or leave it as they
. like, and at this time we think
they prefer leaving it in Atlanta. ,
Marietta Journal.
We do not believe in denomina
tional prejudice, never did. but
we certainly see and hear lots of
it every day. A good many
members of one denomination do
not believe that other people are
quite as good as they are. if they
happen to belong to a different
church. A person who takes .
this view is just as void of reli-
Igion as a billy goat is of brain.—
