McDonough, Ga., Nov. 8, 1918.
All over but details.
Wilson, First Citizen of the
World.
Well may collapse of the power
of German autocracy be credited
to President Wilson.
Kaiser Bill has full opportunity
by this time to realize how much
easier it is to start a war than to
stop it.
Last week’s rains made a de
lightful season for sowing wheat,
oats and rye, according to the ed
itor farmers.
Senator Hardwick announces
that he will begin the practice of
law in Atlanta at the expiration of
his term on March 4th.
The American shotgun, accord
ing to the view of Editor Herring,
mav have had something to do
with Germany’s sudden ad pulsat
ing desire for peace. Sounds rea
sonable.
No Christmas parcel will be ac
cepted by the Red Cross for ship
ment to our troops in France af
ter November 15. Keep this in
mind in planning a Christmas box
for your “boy over there."
And now comes a united war
work campaign to raise funds
for all the charitable endeavors
incident to the war, to begin on
the 11 tli inst. Get yourself ready
to “go over the top” with that too
and to do it on the spot.
“I will stand for no nonsense
after this war is over,” said the
Kaiser to Ambassador Gerard in
1916. The United States will stand
for no nonsense from the Kaiser
now. It’s unconditional surren
der, or the war goes on.
Happiness ought to be conta
gious, and to make it so the good
things of life must be shared.
Not merely with our family but
with our neighbors and acquaint
ances, our townsmen, and “the
strangers within our gates.” We
should yse our blessings, not put
them up in lavender leaves or
camphor balls to keep —but scat
ter them broadsast, share them
with others. If we have bloom
ing roses, share them ; if we have
beautiful pictures, invite people
to see them; if we have helpful
thoughts, give them away—and
thus generous living will bear a
rich harvest, not perhaps in a like
return, but in placing the donor
on a higher plane of thought, and
giving him a broader view of life
and its obligations.—Selected.
Patriotism That Counts.
Henry county has than
600 men in the‘army of the United
States, both overseas and at army
camps. These men wherever they
are must be fed and this editorial
is for the purpose of showing to
the people of Henry county why
it is necessary for us to do our
part in the feeding of our sojdiers
whether the war ends or whether
it keeps on, in the planting of
wheat and other food stuffs. Now
since the splendid rains of the
past few weeks we deem it our
duty to call to the attention of our
farmers, the fathers of our sol
diers, why they should especially
plant wheat at this time.
No matter what comes to pass,
our wheat —to the very last bushel
if need be —must be sent to our
boys on thelbattle line, to the sol
diers of our Allies and to the
brave, suffering, needy Women
and children of our Allies. There
is no Western to be spared
to our people here in the South.
Our countryjasks us to raise wheat
for our own bread needs despite
the shortage of labor, and we
therefore urge upon EVERY farm
er, for the sake of his own family
and his community but greater
than all for country’s sake to plant
wheat for bread for the coming
year. Our own hoys are depend
ing upon you here at home to
plant wheat, and every man that
does so is standing on the battle
line with his own boys, and is a
patriot who puts his patriotism in
to deeds. Show your country and
your own soul —vour inner self —
that you are this kind of a patriot,
and when you start planting wheat
write your ownjboy what you are
doing and that you are with him
and that he shall be fed, though
the folks at home have to forego
the necessities of life.
Will you plant wheat for them?
Will you plant wheat to take care
of home bread needs so that all
the Western wheat can be sent
overseas? And then will you
plant the best crops of oats and
rye you can also, for these small
grains must be raised to back up
wheat production —to supply
wheat substitutes —and also to
feed the horses of the American
armies.
If you do the above things, so
urgently requested by the U. S.
Government, you are a patriot
among patriots; a man with the
the kind of patriotism that counts
for victory and for the permanent
peace of the world.
Growers May Carry
Cotton Back to Farms.
Fitzgerald. More than S,OCX)
bales of cotton are being held by
farmers in local warehouses on
account of the uncertain market.
A movement is on foot by grow
ers to carry their cotton back to
the farms to save insurance and
warehouse charges. The high
price of cotton early in the season
enabled the farmers to pay up
most of their debts and so find
themselves in a position to hold
their surplus cotton for a better
market condition.
