THURSDAY, JUNE 1, 1922, > FOR A GREATER AND BETTER SCHOOL. -—w— l The City Council of Vidalia and the Vidalia Board of Education have for some time been study ing the plan of abolishing the present independent school system of Vidalia and having the county board of education lay out a large consolidatec school district with Vidalia as the center. They have studied the plan from every angle and have been favorably impressed with the proposition. We hope petitions to ascertain the sentiment of the * voters in Vidalia and in the territory surrounding Vidalia will be circulated at an early date, so that if the people approve this plan Representative Lank ford can he asked to introduce a special bill abol ishing the Vidalia independent system at the com ing session of the legislature. Ts such a plan were carried out it would give a school district extending about half way to Normantown, half way to Center, to the county line on the west, and half way to Lyons on the east. Every boy and girl in this district would have access to the district grammar and high school on equal terms with the children of Vidalia, and transportation would he provided for those children living too far from the school to walk. It would require at once an additional building in the shape of a modern high school building large enough to take care of the growth of the school for several years to come. I lie plan of abolishing the independent city systems and going back into the county system is being adopted by progressive towns and cities all over the state. We want to sec it adopted in Vi daha. It would place several hundred boys and girls living outside the city limits within reach of a splendid grammar and high school and would he a grc.it step forward for this section of the county. Writ i ! V-TJ .. « y The other day a good man suggested to the editor tljat it might be a good idea to let Superior Court Judges preside over courts in districts other than the one in which they are elected, and we have to admit that the plan has its good points. We have always thought that they should be swap ped about over the state anyway, thus taking them away from political influence, but the plan as set toith above might he better. Os course no man who is elevated to the judgship could be accused of letting politics interfere with his work, hut all men are human and all have special friends, and they can’t help it .—Springfield Herald. x OUR BEST GEORGIA PRODUCTS. Ask a Brooks county man and he will say ‘‘ham." Ask a Houston county man and he will say "peaches.” South Georgia farmers will show you a long green melon as the finest Georgia pro duct. A North Georgia man answers this ques tion in several ways: “Georgia marble, apples, etc.” E. E. Mack of Thomasville can tell you something of fine Georgia raised stock. Georgia products arc too numerous to mention in detail, but we want to call attention to our lead ing state product—our Georgia raised bovs and girls. I'liev are today the most valuable asset to this or any other state, and deserve the very best at the FOUR AGES IN BUSINESS j ; ; (The Third) | I I The third age in the business lift of the sue- J II * cessful business man is from the time he is well 4 J J established in business to the time he retires.

Let our slogan be “More money for education, less jazz and more • school buildings.” The best Georgia raised product is one that must first be developed in the hot house—the home. If those influences which make good citi zenship do not touch the early life of Georgia sons • and daughters, then unhappy is our State, for the failure of the home means the failure of the State and Nation.

With the government engineers insisting that the route of the state highway from Vidalia to Ly one he changed to an entirely new route, running south of the Seaboard railway, so as to avoid twa grade crossings which at present exist on the road between these two' towns, the county commission ers of Toombs county are trying to arrange to be gin work on the highway at the county line of Tattnall county, building the first section, from the Tattnall line to near Lyons. If this can be done, they hope later to reach some satisfactory agree ment with the government authorities as to the route of the highway between Lyons and Vidalia. We think the position of the government en ginee.rs in trying to build state highways so as to avoid dangerous grade crossings is, in the main, the correct attitude, yet whej-e this position re quires the abandonment of a long used road and the construction of a new road for the distance such as would he required in Toombs county, it seems to he putting a very heavy burden on the county, which has built a splendid road between these towns, and also would work an injustice on every landowner who has built a home on this road on the faith of its being maintained as a coun ty highway. , , ’, ; * & , *•*- 4n — r '-•-nr; CHASING THE CATTLE TICK. The 112th county in the state has been freed from the cattle tick —Toombs having completed its eradication program and being now officially de clared tick-free. The Vidalia paper reports the fact with genuine and pardonable enthusiasm under this trumphant heading: ‘‘Cattle lick Chased Across The Altamaha.” In Toombs the work which entailed much, irksome labor and no little inconvenience for many was carried forward to thoroughness and completion by the people who generally and steadily stood by the program to be rid of the great enemy to the cattle business —a coining business in all this section of the state. It is now declared that the entire state may he freed from the tick by the close of the next year. There were hopes some time ago that the end of this year would sec the work done of clearing up the last Southeast Georgia county. There is work of erad ication now progressing in fifteen counties to the south of Toombs and in most of these counties the people are co-operating with the county and state and federal officials so that the work may progress as rapidly "as possible. There has never been such interest in cattle raising as now in South Georgia— the raising of cattle for beef purposes and partic ularly for dairying; creameries established have given a great impetus to the business of buying and raising better milk-yielding cattle —pure breds. The future for the cattle business in South Georgia presents the most promising outlook for prosperity i of any sign today.—Savannah News.

Valentine, presi dent of the state labor organization that he would make a fight to lower public utilitv rates if he is elected. the Pelham physician is quoted by Mr. Valentino as declaring he believed there are many rate® increased dur ing the war that should be reduced now.
