Georgia For Oscar Underwood.
For President.
Give The Tenants A Fair Chance.
As long as the landlord on the one hand, inststs that the
won’t take care of anything; don’t appreciate a well-equipped farm
and won’t and can’t pav the rent on a well appointed farm; and on the
other hand the tenant complains that the landlord will not put the
farm in condidition to enable him even to make wages and asks SQ
much rent for a run-down, farm, with uninhabitable houses and bro¬
ken-down fences that uq tenant can make a decent living n U it, they
C&n never get together and there will be little Improvement in the con:
dition of the tenant or the farm. All agree that there is too much
truth in the accusations of each; but all must also know that there are
thousands of cases where neither picture represents actual conditions.
The only progressive, honest and profitable wav is for each to do his
best to improve conditions by doing his part and rest asured that
^>ther§ will gnnera'.iy meet him half way and give him about such
treatment as lie merits,.
It should at least appear plain to the ianciiord that the beginning
of improved conditions must come from him, as he is better able to
make the start. On the other hand he need not expect a good tenant
to stay on a poor farm, maintained in bad condition; nor is a poor
tenant likely to fail to improve if if given the encouragement of good
treatment.—The Progressive Farmer.
The Registration Books for the year 1912 close April 2nd. If you
are not registered on that date, you cannot vote in any of the election
to be held during the year 1912. As wa elect every offi ;ia! fro m con¬
stable to the President of the U. S. this year it is important that you
register, if you value your citizenship. You might as well belong
to the black and tan disfranchised section of the population, for all
the good you are politically, if you don’t register.
W. G. Brantley, Congressman from the 11th District has an¬
nounced his retirement from office after his present term. Mr. Brant-
ly’s ability has been at the beck and call of the interests. The com¬
mon people are gainers through his retirement, no matter who suc¬
ceeds him,
Tnc southern people are awaking to the occasion of a southern
man for the President. The sentiment is rapidly crystalizing in
favor of Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama, and it looks like there’ll
be a land-slide in his direction.
A New Savings Bank,
Our City Superintendent of schools Mr. Ritchie and Prof. Morris
the business department of the High School are to be congntulati d
upon their progressiveness and their ambition to make the business
department of practical value to the pupils. The Inauguration of the
Students Penny Savings Bank of the Public Schools and the only one
of its kind, that we know of, will be the means of encouraging the
saving habit among boys and girls and at the same time give the pu¬
pils of the business department practical experience in all branches of
banking. I he patrons of the schools should encourage their children
to utilize the Savings Bank, encourage the systematic savings habit.
Large trees from little acorns grow, and we predict a large success
for the business department of our high school, in attracting attention
to the progressive policy of our schools.
The Atlanta Georgian is after the Country Editors. Mr. Hcarst
realizes the influence the country press wields and the power it could
exert. Ihe appeal in the Georgian is a masterpiece. Its purpose is
ideal, but difficult of achievement, Editors like other folks have to
live, and the commercial side of a newspaper handicaps the average
Editor of a country newspaper just as it appears to do the great
dailies in the etty. Nevertheless the editorial reads good but the dual
existence of the newspaper, its ideals and its payroll, do not always
harmonize, and then the judicious editor has to take care of his pay¬
roll or else close up shop.
Another Chicken
Crank.
Fred J. Clark, one of the most
enthusiastic chicken cranks in the
city, has had a very interesting
“show” at his store during the
past few days, having several hun¬
dred little chicks to i hatch in the
incubator. Mr. Clark's poultry
plant is on a rather expensive
scale as his store rent is about $50
per month, but he’s making mon¬
ey on the deal, for just the other
day he sold one hundred davoki
chicks at 18c apiece. Mr. Clark
is also raising and selling duck 1-
