There may be a finer climate than South Georgia these days when' tire early morning crispness and the balmy' genial days makes o.ic drunk with the joy of living, but wo doublr it. If you want to ivr in the finest climate on earth come to. Grady county! Now and then we rise to remark that Grally .county should have an issue of bonds fer tile building o! grod concrete bridges on our pub lic roads. As yet wo have not li id nft-'vcoml to our motion; Never theless it. is true and we want to keep it on your minds. We have heard that there are some law.-; on our books against speeding on our streets and public roads, but we suppose our. infor mant must-have sitrely been mis taken. Better schools should be the aim of every community in the county. Consolidation of schools is one means of securing better schools.

We are sure that there is no intention on the-part of a great many of those that drive cars at a greater ipeed than is the lawful limit to da reckless driving. They no doubt feel so sure of the control i under which they lmve their machine that they believe there is no element of recklessness connected with f tlie fust driving. But it is the' unexpected that happens. The time is sure to come right here hr Cairo, that if flic present habit of fast, driving is kept up, thut fome combination of con ditions will aris • in which a'car being too lastly jdj'iven is going to cause a serious accident. \\’e have laws against this practice and the only safe way so far as public life and property is concerned is to set' that everybody observes these laws. This is not, asking too much of any one and it is far better to insist now that this be done than to wail until some trudegy has shocked tl^' community into a state where this demand will be made with insistence. DRIVE WITH REASONABLENESS AT ALL TIMES, AND DRIVE SLOW ON CROWED STREETS. .It seems assured now that Fort Worth will become a “million a year” hug market this year. If the receipts for October* November and December are up to the September record the total for the year will be JS0.000 head, and as it is expected that November and December will lie well above that record it seems eertain that the million mark will be reached. But whether the million mark is reached or not the record of growth for the year so far is most gratifying. Every branch of the livestock industry shows a substantial increase; and this may be expec ted to continue from year to year. The average citizen of Fort Worth has no idea of the extent to which the livestock industry may be reason ably expected to grow in Fori Worth. The territory from which this .tuck is received has just begun to develop, and as former .Senator Bailey lias pointed out strikingly, the breaking up of the big ranchos into stock farms wili increase rather than decrease the amount of livestock raised. Hogs are being shipped into Fort Worth by the e-iudoad from, counties t&q&^lii}. not have a.hog .wjtljin ( theiwbor.ders,i'o.ur ycursjigo,, and witii* the yxcTOisjug, acre,age of „ka(gr cprn, mjjo incize, fetcrita and similar grains,nil of which have been found to betas "good as or. bailee,than Indian corn' for hogs, this industry will' grow fo gri&tbf proportions'. All ( lie other branches of the livdstb -lc Industry may be expected to develop With the country. All o; this serves to illustrate anew the intimate ielation of the prosperity of West Texas with the prosperity of Fort Worth. . West Texas has just begun to grow, and byjthe’samc token-Fort 'Worth has just begun to grow. Therefore, every real Fort'Worth booster will be also a booster for West Texas Paper. ' The above clipping ,form the,Fort Worth Star-Telegram was han ded to us by Mr. W. R. Hawthorn. It is a very newsy item and at the same time it ought to lip easy for South Georgians to get some helpful suggestions from it.. The packing plant and stock yards were opened up at Fort Worth when tiio conditions for their support in the Way of patronage were much-less favorable than is the outlook for the plants now built and being,built in Georgia. We do not know just how soon Georgia will be able to report a'million a year packing house, but at the rate that hog production is.increasing we have an idea that it will not lie long. ... One of the most important points in the above clipping is the cm- '-•i -sis that, they place on-the relation existing between the producing ; ions and the marketing centers. This point should never lie lost cght of iii the development oT any section. What is to the benefit of : portion of our pe iple, if it is in a' legitimate way is bound to be to the advantage of all. The clipping above calls attention to some feed crops that likely should receive more attention at the hands of oar South G jjr-Ua farmers. Those'who have tried Kaffir corn and Milo, Maize report that they get larger yields than from corn, and they are certainly well adapted for feeding almost.any kind of stock.
