THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1920.
Have you attended the fair.
The ways of the automobilist is a
lmrd paved road add the devil is the
ettauffer.
Cheer up. We lived before the war,
some of us during the w^r, and what
is left will live now.
The downward trend of cotton In's
a goal and we don’t believe it will go
much further before it is reached.
We are rejoicing that the discussion
of politics is over for a while, that is,
State polities. The election of a Pres¬
ident is upon us again, but we feel we
haven’t the time to help either side
circulate their propoganda.
Since boose has been knocked out
the tobacco trust thinks they will
come next. They are sending out lit¬
erature already. Cigars, pipe and
chewing tobacco will always be with
us, bwt when the fight ou cigarettes
nud snuff take place, we will join in.
While it takes a gentleman to siuok., a
cigarette, it doesn't necessarily mean
a colored woman for snuff. These two
forms of tobacco are the most pois¬
onous aud we have often wondered
why the women who have the snuff
habit does not resort to the use of
plug tobacco. There is as much dif¬
ference as there is between the cigar
amd the cigarette, but not in cost.
Yes, we have done most everything
except indulge in “snuffing.”
ATLANTA AFTER ALTO SPEEDERS
Following referring to auto maniacs
was printed in a recent Issue of the
Atlanta Journal:
“Out of twenty-four speeding cases,
tried before Recorder George E. John¬
son, Tuesday morning, four had their
license revoked for thirty days and
also were fined $26 each. Six other
uses on the docket were postponed for
trial until a later date.
“This speeding must stop,” declared
the recorder. “For a few days I am
going to try a fine of $26 for the first
offense; a fine of $51 for the second
offense, and for the third offense a
stockade sentence. If this does not stop
speeding. I am going to give a fine of
$51 for the first offense and will send
all who are caught speeding a second
time to the stockade,”
