" A SUMMER PARI NLKSHIP.
Tliis week's issue ol both the Advance and the
Monitor will appear a little strange to subscribers
of these two papers. Having been honored with
election to the legislature two years ago, and the
discharge of his legislative duties making it neces
sary for lint to spend two months in Atlanta this
summer, Editor Folsom, of the Monitor, was unable
to make satisfactory arrangements for the publica
tion of the Monitor at the plant at Mt. Vernon
The management of the Advance has undertaken
to publish the Monitor during the summer months,
but it will be necessary to make these two papers
largely duplicates during this time.
We trust tins arrangement will prove, in a
measure, satisfactory to the readers of both papers.
We are quite sure that the people of Vidalia and
surrounding territory will be glad to find in their
home paper the news of their friends in .Mt. Ver
non and the happenings in Montgomery, their old
mother county. We hope the people of Montgom
ery county will enjoy such news from Vidalia and
Toombs county as their home paper will carry du
ring the summer. Every effort will be made to
treat both sections impartially, from a new stand
point, and the happenings in Montgomery county
and in the Vidalia section will be faithfully chroni
cled, to the best of our ability.
Mr. Merman Mcßride, wlio is well and favor
ably known t<> the people of Montgomery county,
will he in charge of the Monitor office during Mr.
Folsom’s absence, and all matters for publication
in the Monitor should be handed to him. The Mon
itor s job office will be maintained at the Monitor
building, and all advertising and subserption orders
and payments for same will he handled by Mr. Mc-
Bride.

ENFORCING THE LAW.
According to the Wheeler County Eagle, the
Kuigiits of tlie Ku Klux Klan at Glenwood recently
adopted a resolution that the members ol their or-)
gani/ation would lend the officers of the law their
suppoit m the enforcement of the prohibition law,
that they would give the officers all evidence they
Would be able to furnish and would stand by the
officers of Glenwood and Wheeler county in run
ning down the whiskey dealers. They further de
clared that they would lay before the next grand
jury all the evidence thy now had or might have
regarding the violations of the prohibition law.
( lakmg such a stand for law and order, the
Gc i wood Klan seems to be starting out to render
a splendid public service to its home community.
’I he average citizen frequently knows of open vio
lations of law, which he hesitates to bring to the
attention of the officers of the law or the grand
jury. I>ut with scores of fellow citizens standing
with him, banded with him, joined with him in
this common cause, much can Ire and will he accom
plished. The members of the Ku Klux Klan at
Vidalia recently undertook,to rid Vidalia of some
disreputable characters *vhoui city and state laws
seemed unable to reach.
We arc glad to see these two klans taking the
position the) are. It the Ku Klux Klan is going
to stand four square for law and order, if their
united strength is going to be thrown solidly be
hind our courts and officers the organization is
needed and the field is, ripe for the harvest. The
altitude they take will encourage and hearten every
individual citizen who stands for law and order and
believes in the enforcement of our laws.

AN EDITOR GOES VISITING.
Editor C. D. Rountree, of the Wrightsville
Headlight, is a fortunate editor; he frequently finds
time to go visiting. A recent visit was to Brewton.,
' Parker Institute* and Editor Rountree was favor
ably impressed with this splendid school and en
joyed his trip to Mt. Vernon immensely. He gives
the following account of his visit:
I The writer had the exquisite pleasure of spendig a
day recently at the Brewton-Parker Institute, Mt. Vernon,
and took a look into the school property and its magnifi
cent surroundings . ’I he actual working facilities of the
' Baptist folks were in well organized shape and under
full activity the day we were there, and we were
and saw also into the class room efficiency of the popular
: institution.
> We are inclined to brag on the whole plant, because
I we saw enough to say a lot of good things about it. We
: had ample time to inspect it closely throughout, and this
was done. You know when you come to spend the time
i a bunch of fifteen or twenty long-winded Baptist trustees
: take in circumnavigating a year s work of a school like
this and then go into an age of future history of the same
you've got time enough to write a book on any institution
But that is a jolly board of fellows and know what
i they are about. They’ve got the institution in hand and
at heart and wc don’t mind telling this out of school.
They’ve even got pigs growing off on the campus and had
home-made rations on the tabic so.- dinner and it was all
cooked by a home crew, and the healthy girls and boy
eat, sleep, wash, sew, play, work and live in an element
conducive of longevity and happiness—two essctflials.
Brewtoon-Parker is coming to the front. She’s ob
liged so come, for she’s got the tools to work with and
they all paid for and more money than she can spend,
and some of the trustees are wanting to make it a Ju
nior. We’re compelled to admit P.rewton-Parker into our
category of high class institutions asT* 11 * k does ex
tend, and hope that the visions of some of the board may
ere many moons be realized.
Yes, we did enjoy the trip down to Mt. Vernon, for
there w saw so many lfve-wirc folks and met so many
of our old acquaintances and looked into this grand insti
tution and met one of our distinguished newspaper friends
and legislators and heard his gentle voice again, rode over
the good highways of Montgomery and saw their excellent
bridge, saw the thousands of acres of growing crops and
viewed almost enviously the anxious people as they are
striving for a lucrative sustenance, with a determined viin
to succeed, and although happily wedded, wc looked with
admiring grace into the entrancing sweetness of their
fairest maidens' whose charming features adorn the lovely
homes here and there with surpassing attractiveness.
V
When this writer gets another {lay in that section
' it is to he spent mostly in telling those people our idea of
a thing of beauty and a joy forever, that they have.

MOLASSES POISONS FOR BOLL WEEVIL
NOT JUSTIFIED.
In poisoning the cotton bool weevil with calci
um arsenate nothing is gained and a great deal is
lost by mixing the poison with molasses and water,
say the boll weevil specialists of the United Sfates
Department of Agriculture. It is better, they say,
to stick to dry calcium arsenate dusted on the plants
as recommended by the department for the past
several years. This announcement is based on
painstaking trials of the molasses mixtures con
ducted at the Delta Laboratory at Tallulah, La., at
a number of other points in the cotton belt, and on
observations of results secured by farmers in vari
, j ous states who attempted last year to follow the
II molasses method.
The department found long ago that success in
boll weevil poisoning depends on complete covering
' of the plants with the poison, and this can only be
, accomplished bv applying it in the form of a dust
1 cloud that settles down over the entire plant sur
face to he treated. '
TO THE PEOPLE OF
MONTGOMERY COUNTY
Having leased the Monitor for the
, summer months to Mr. N. C. Napier,
proprietor of the Vidalia Advance, this
issue appears under new and
form, the superior equipment of the
latter plant having made possible a
larger and more comprehensive paper
for the people of Montgomery county.
While this step is necessitated by
my absence during the suipmer, and
pending business engagements requir
ing my time, the patronage of the
• Montgomery Monitor will be abun
dantly served by the change in man
agement. Doubtless there will be lit
tle or no change in the policy of the
paper, and the new arrangement is
well calculated to appeal to the .peo
ple of Montgomery county.
Advertising and ' job printing ac
counts chargeable to date of May 15
are payable to the undersigned, and
such accounts following this date will
be collected by the local management.
There is no division of subscription ac
counts, and all accounts of this nature
are payable to the new management,
of whatever dates as shown on sub
scription books.
Asking for Mr. Napier the full pa
tronage which his efforts will merit,
together with consideration for hi
associates in the local management of _
the plant and business at Mt. Vernon,
and with due appreciation of the pa
tronage and confidence accorded tin
retiring editor during the twenty
years service in active newspaper
work in Mt. Vernon, I am,
Very truly,

A sweeping verdict for QUALITY
Things You Want
There is usually quite a gap between the things
you want and the things you get. One reason we
do not get, all the things we want is because we do
not want them hard enough.
The things you really want and bend every en
ergy to attain, are usually secured. Work, plan,
save and see if our prediction is not true.. Above
all, put your savings in our bank where they will
be secure. You will then get more of the things
you really need. We will help you.
