Mount Vernon. Ga., Thursday Morning, June 24, 1920.
The fact that the state treasury
is empty, without funds to pay
the expenses of the legislature,
should be a lesson for prospective
candidates no telling what may
happen before next summer.
Even glory comes high these
days. •
Delegates have begun to arrive
for the San Francisco convention,
and nose counting is said to be
on. It is safe to say that William
J. Bryan will make a note of all
red noses prior to the opening of
the ball Monday.
From henceforth let this cot
ton bloom fever develop into
something else say melon rash
(or rush). Cotton blooms are
very ornamental, especially in a
growing state in the field, but as
parlor or desk ornaments they
will soon assume a commonplace
status. At this season almost
any man has storage room for a
melon. Or, the individual with
out floor space can soon arrange
otherwise in case of emergency.
Law and order are necessary
to any well governed state, but
however strong and commenda
ble the idea, in theory or in fact,
it does not harmonize with the
murder or abuse of Southern
white women, and those who in
sist on engaging in acts reflecting
on the virtue and sanctity of
Southern white women may well
expect the usual form of ven
geance-swift, sure and unbend
ing horrible and distasteful as
it may be.
After all, starvation is not
crowding the real farmer, with
peas $6 a bushel, corn $2.50 and
hay at SSO per ton. Despite
stringent conditions, the oppor
tunity of the farmer has not been
cut off; prevailing prices for food
products are in proportion to ex
horbitant prices for other prod
ucts, commodities or necessities.
The demand for food was never
stronger, and the food producer
cannot go to the wall if he will
stay on the job.
The Savannah News recently
took The Monitor to task for run
ning a road notice on its editorial
column, however, commending
the new road idea. For the past
few weeks The Monitor has
carried no editorial paragraphs,
and the clipping column of the
Savannah News has been at a
loss. Byway of again repri
manding us Tuesday’s News runs
a selection from one of our cor
respondents. Gentlemen, we
have taken the hint, some time
ago, but let it be remembered
that The Monitor, without its
usual working force, has labored
under difficulties of late. A
country editor cannot live by
editorials alone.
As a candidate for the Legis
lature from Montgomery county,
the editor of The Monitor has
been asked by a number of gen
tlemen (mainly those who do not
read the county paper) for a
declaration of principles. Those
who have read The Montgomery
Monitor for the past seventeen
years are more or less familiar
w ith our ideas, opinion, and line
of action and accomplishment,
and to them no special statement
is • necessary. The people as a
whole realize our efforts for the
upbuilding of the county’s in
ti rests—it is on open record be
yond question. We believe the
people of Montgomery county
appreciate our endeavors, and
should we be chosen representa
tive, the people of the county
aud the State of Georgia will
still have the benefit of our best
efforts for faithful and efficient
service, based on training and
thorough equipment
Harding, the Republican nomi
nee, regards Georgia as the key
to the South, the foster-parent of
! sectionalism, and through his
personal efforts will undertake to
break the sold South by invading
i the Empire State. He will ap
peal for nationalism (probably
under the guise of Americanism), j
The purest Americanism has
ever been found in the South and
the staunchest form of Democra
cy has always found birth in the
womb of the South, and it would
be pure yet were it not for the
slimy footprints of disruption
and anarchy now seen on every
side. Strange that the South,
rich in tradition, ripe in achieve
ment, and exalted in
should listen to the teachings of
fanatics working for their own
interests, and that along lines
contrary to the fixed views of the
South. Mr. Harding may be a
good man, but if the South is
true to herself and to her honored
record, the visits of the would-be
president will have been in vain.
No, the institution of a six
hour day is not worth shucks.
Too much vagrancy in the land
now. It takes a full day for the
working few to feed the loafing
masses, with but little or no hope
of changing the program.
Ice for the Season.
Am prepared to supply ice,
wholesale and retail, during the
season. Guaranteed service.
