Speaking of pests, reminds us
of the hot air artist who calls
when we are busy.
Time was when a lady’s escort
could tie her shoestrings, but now
with bootees —let that pass.
Jack Dempsey may be a great
man, but he hasn’t the punch to
knock put a “blind tiger.’’
The south’s peanut crop this
year promises to be a million
bushels larger than last year.
We’ll bet the fellow who started
the crusade against the chimmie
dance was a crusty old bachelor.
When you see a guy wearing a
white ribbon it doesn’t always

They are many prohibition sub
stitutes for the old time eye open

kick.
Uncle Jim Williams expresses
our sentiments when he says:
“Pull for your town or pull up
and leave.”
A cotton production of 11,016,-
000 bales this year is the forecast
of the agricultural department at
Washington.
President Wilson is after old
man High Cost of Living. Hope
he will give him the K. 0. in the
first round.
Judging from the way some
girls fondle their canines, we
wouldn’t object to being a poodle
for awhile, anyway.
In the present railway employes
controversy politics should be
eliminated and the welfare of the
general people considered.
The first bale of the 1919-20

week. It was graded to middling
and brought 40 cents a pound.
There is but one thing that can
raise more excitement in McDon

Several of our neighboring
towns are boasting of free mail

When a pistol toter comes before

fidence in each other to go as far

open.”—Greensboro Herald-Jour

The Impending Storm.
Profiteering may yet be the
undoing of this country. No na
tion is ever greater than the gov
ernment it maintains, and if the
government does not conserve
the interests of the people the
people in time lose confidence in
that form of government.
The greatest crime in the his
tory of our country is that of
profiteering, wholesale and delib
erate robbing of a helpless public.
Prices have been artificially for
ced to such a high atitude that is
becoming more and more difficult
for a poor person to sustain life.
The law of supply and demand
no longer prevails. It has been
substituted by one of gouge and
grab.
Already many people, men and
women of sound and patriotic
principles, are predicting revolu
tion as the only means of check
ing this wholesale and lawless
thievery.
Our government should take
warning while there is yet time.
Protection of profiteering should
cease at once, and prosecution
should be swift and relentless.
We cannot afford to have our
great country wrecked upon the
rock of greed and avarice. And
yet today, because of the supine
inactivity of our public officials,
we are heading straight toward
destruction.
Public endurance is at the
breaking point. Revolution is
hovering dangerously near.
The government should heed
the impending storm, before it is
too late to prepare to meet it. —

Crime and Mob Violence.
“One of the ways that assaults
and outrages can be prevented is
by watching doubtful characters,”
says the Moultrie Observer, which
continues:
“Another is to close up all the
blind tigers and illicit stills.
“Another is to keep women and
children close to the protection of
the men folks.
“Another is for the officers to
be on the alert where there is
crime, act quickly, select deputies
in sufficient number and of the
right temperament to give them
control over mobs.
“Another is for the courts to act
promptly and give assurance of
speedy justice where outrages are
committed.
“And then we need to caution
white and colored against clashes
that so easily come in summer
i
when men are usually more over
bearing and high tempered than
in cool weather.
“The leaders of the colored race
should especially take occasion to
warn returned soldiers against ac
tion that will stir race feeling.
it is as well that leaders of
the white race should continually
caution the reckless and overbear
ing, and that the officess of the
law should watch for those things
that generally lead to outbreaks,
and that they take action with
cool head but with firm hand,
whether the offender be a white
man or a colored man.
“Race trouble is liable to occur
anywhere.
‘ This hot weather is just the
right time to touch it off.
“Once rioting begins it becomes
epidemic in the community. Of
ficers lose control and only strong
military force can put it down.
“Cool, level-headed men in the
community should wisely keep on
the alert, and nip in the bud any
thing that they can see is fanning
race prejudice into a flame.”
No individual in the world can
do a mother’s work for her.
