One recipe for accident, pre
vention: Keep your pun pointed
either straight up or straight
down, and use nothing but the
ramrod while hunting.
Greece is to have another elec
tion on the president Nov. 28.
Sounds like Georgia, except in
Georgia they have everything
else but elections on Sunday.
The recent wholesale victory
o f the Republican party may be
correctly termed “voluminous,”
but to the Democrats it must have
seemed somewhat ominous, with
a double echo.
Harding will not stop in Mexico
en route home. The fishing is
not good down there- not for a
president-elect. A man who can
not handle a tarpon off the
Topis coast has no business in
Mexico at this stage of the game.
Gasoline drops a cent a gallon,
but the big dealers consolingly
remark that it will not happen
again soon. One way to even
up witj? John D. is to walk more
freely. The ordinary bipedic,
ball-and-socket geared machine
would run very well without gas,
if it were not out of fashion.
Japanese students are debating
the question: “Shall Japan fight
America?” Better decide the
question in favor of the negative,
and let cherry blossoms bloom
undisturbed in Nippon’s Isle,
where the little yellow men are
getting along very well under
their own vines and fig hushes.
We are no doubt in a disguised
and beclouded stage of price re
duction, but we are at a loss to
comprehend certain, phases of the
changing scene. For instance,
the farmer is accepting from
seventy-live cents to a dollar a
bushel for his corn, with no great
demand at such figures; in many
cases he is forced to do it. The
merchant is accepting #4.80 per
bushel for Western ground grits,
with a strong demand, limited
only by the inability of the aver
age individual to pay. This ob
servation is taken right here in
Montgomery county, and in Mt.
Vernon, every day. Fresh meal
is equally high, in proportion, and
almost impossible to got. The
corn crop was good—worlds of it
made—but still in the hands of
the farmer. Verilv there is fixed
a great gulf between the pro
ducer and the consumer. The
balance of the chapter is too well
understood for detailed exemplifi
cation.
Following the dismissal of Rev.
Cecil R. Phillips in the recent
session of tin South Georgia Con
ference in Moultrie, the same
was announced in one of the
daily papers,, in headline form,
“For Supporting Watson and
Hardwick, Minister is Expelled
from Church.” This is a slight
over-statement of the case, as
the actual grounds for his dis
mission, as stated in the formal
charge, is that he was “not
adapted to the work.” What
ever the facts in the case, we do
not profess to know, but it is
quite clear that the Methodist
church, or any other Protestant
church, would not consider a
minister ineligible for the work
of the ministry simply because
he supported Mr. Watson and
Mr. Hardwick. This is a free
country, and a citizen who is
qualified to vote is allowed to
cast his ballot for whomsoever
he pleases, regardless of church
affiliations, as far as simple
support is concerned. The head
line referred to is one thing and
the text of the matter is very
different.
A news item says Harding
spent a quiet Sabbath. No won
der: he was out on the ocean
during a calm, with no opportu
nity for the pap-suckers to get at
him. He will doubtless long for
other seasons of calm within the
next year.
Thank goodness, our appetite
is not so high-strung that Thanks
giving turkey is an absolute
necessity on our board. Further
more, there are many days in
the year when we cannot afford
chicken and ham. It is certainly
unwise for a gentleman to allow
his taste to get too far above his
means. It may be sublime, but
far from practical.
The Metter Advertiser has just
celebrated its eighth anniversary
and the Savannah Press its
*wenty-ninth. Many papers, both
daily and weekly, have lived
longer without attaining that de
gree of excellence characteristic
of either the Press or the Adver
tiser. The Press proudly boasts
of grand-children, and it is hoped
that the Advertiser will also
reach this happy period of ex
istence.
