Thursday Morning, February 26, 1920. Flu produces a paralysis of the brain, hence the difficulty of writing a column of editorial paragraphs this week. Felt this thing coming on last week. Quitman is putting forth one of her favorite sons, Col. Stanley Bennett, as a candidate for the governorship of Georgia. Mr. Bennett is said to be a capable man. Hoover is a national figure, of course, but not necessarily presi dential timber. If Hoover quali fies as a Democrat, however, let his name go on the Georgia pref erential ballot, along with a dozen others. Mr. Wilson had the right and authority to fire Mr. Lansing, and it is quite true that the latter also had the right to resign. In act ting first Mr. Wilson just made it a gopher ease with the Secre tary of State. • —. Again we rise to remark that it is the cost of high living, and not the high cost of living, all together, that keeps such a large majority of us scratching for a toe-holt. The luxur < s sc< m to set the pace for the necessities, and by the time we get a good hunk of the former, the latter arts discouraging!y out of reach. Yes, before another year you may he voting along side of your best girl or your* neighbor’s washerlady. The ratification of a few more states will give the ballot to the women, Georgia will be one of the few states to fight the amendment to the fed eral constitution to the last, as far as her general assembly is concerned. Along with tl • yublic sentiment in favor of raising the salaries of public school teachers should go the knowledge of how public funds are raised. Certainly the cause of the teachers is a most worthy one. but until the people of the state reconcile themselves to consistent taxation, the public school system or any other de partment of state government cannot be maintained on a proper standard. No state accepting taxes on the pay-as-you please plan can afford very high stan dards in anything. The Winnie Davis Chapter U. D. C. at' Mcßae memorializes the South Georgia College at that place to remove from the walls of the institution a picture of Lincoln, from the shelves of its ; library a copy of Uncle Tom’s ( Cabin, and further that the school , desist from singing the Battle : Hymn of the Republic. Their j 1 request is put in u straightfor- i ward manner, backed by valid h and consistent reasons, and as a ; Southern institution, entirely in-; dependent of Northern aid. it ; would appear tb it th« ir request should lie obeyed. A liwle Geor j girt history thrown in i n the side \ } would be good for the school! children of the state, too. T. K.

Some of the publishers in the district are doing the work at less than cost. —Metter Advertiser, The Johnsons are getting into the news again. Hiram is running for the Presidency and Jack is taking the few remaining steps to the penitentiary. —Savan nah Press. Our office devil goes to the head of the class. He describes a United States senator as “an inmate of the national asylum to whom the government pays something for nothing. “—East man Times. It would be quite astonishing to many people to know just how many cattle are shipped away from Treutlen county each week. There is at least one carload shipped from SoDerton each week. —Soperton News. A Mineola, New York, police justice has resigned the position he holds on account of the fact prohibition has prevented him from making a living, the officer stating that his revenues have dwindled fifty per cent since the ban was placed on liquor. Mil ledgeville News. VVe think the Moultrie Observer has the proposition down about right—let the government pay for its advertising just the same as the papers have to pay postage on their papers. That is the bus iness way and the best way out for the newspapers, which have heretofore carried the govern-, ment ten miles for each free mile they have been carried them selves.—Marietta Journal. We are not an agricultural ex pert at all hut if we made an at tempt at farming we would try to raise some cotton. At the present prices it is worth the ef fort. With good seasons there is no reason why some of the staple should not be produced. The rains last year did more damage than the weevils or as much.— Adel News. Events seem to indicate that it is about as hard to keep a cabinet supplied with members as it is to keep a newspaper office supplied with printers, Forsyth Adver tiser. John Holder is very successful in being elected to the legislature and in winning the speakership of that body, but that is as far as John’s political pinions will en able him to fly. He should take his own measure and be content in the sphere which b*y nature and training he is qualified to fill. ! Vidalia Advance.

For years the Ford One Ton Truck with its splendid manganese bronze worm-drive, powerful Ford Model T Motor, strong Vanadium steel frame, has been serving in every line of business activity, and we have yet to hear the first complaint as to rear axle trouble or motor trouble. It has the lowest purchase price on the market, and the cost for operating and maintaining is exceedingly small. In fact, the Ford One Ton Truck has become a business necessity.

We will give you prompt attention and assure you reasonably prompt delivery, and give you an after service that will insure your continuous operation of the Truck. PJ.
