Mount Vernon, Ga.. 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

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

washerlady. The ratification of
a few more states will give the

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.

We are not an agricultural ex

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
The Ford Model T One Ton Truck is in reality a necessity to the wide awake
retail grocer, not only for the economic solution of the delivery problem, but for
the bringing of goods from the docks or stations to his place of business, and for
traversing the country and bringing in produce. 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. Leave your order with us without delay.
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.
