A clean town never needs to advertise the fact. It spreads.
The man who hustles never has to wait for the man in front to
get out of the way. :
The man who goes through life looking for an opportunity to
kill two birds with one stone usually misses both.
Attorney N. M. Patten, of Abbeville, nominates the Hon. W. T.
Anderson, of Macon, for the position of State Highway Commission
cr and the Leader-Enterprise rises to second the nomination. All
the friends of the good roads movement in Georgia can well trust to
Mr. Anderson this important place, representing the southern part
of the state.
THE CASE OF FELDER
"The outbreak up at the headquarters of the A. S, L. didn’t surprise
any of the people who have known the reputation of Thomas B.
Felder before his alignment with the Prohibition forces. The sur
prise has been that he was accepted by them at all and that his well
known propensities did not show themselves before now.
It is evident to all who have watched the career of this attorney
for the past decade that his mean business was securing legislation
for his clients through any means that suggested itself to his not
too high standard of legal ethics and it is also a matter of record
that he usually succeeded in getting what he was hired to get. Ben
Hill and Irwin county citizeng well know with what effrontery he
handled the matter of the new county legislation eight yeatrs ago and
not a one of those who were then interested in this leaislation Lt
realize that the sol» uhiect that could have prompied a man of his
calibre o align hiricli with the new “majority’ in the Georgia
Legislature was tc ingr:tiate himself with the fore = of nrchibition
te continy e in the tis.c of pasiness that formerly consetuted so large
a part of his practice. As we sce it, it is well for the State of Geor
gia that his connection is being severed and that he as well as the su
perintendent of the A. S. L. are being brought in their true light be
fore the people of Georgia.
To both of them we would recommend Ist Thessalonians, 5:22.
' REVIVING MEXICAN BUSINESS
Talk of a business revival in Mexico may sound paradoxical,
cwen to those who admit the pogsibility of establishing economic and
civil order in the sister republic. Banditry has held sway down there
so long that there is no very clear recollection of Mexico in the pub
lic mind as a land of industry and commerce. But stagnation has
not always prevailed below the Rio Grande. There has been a meas
ure of actual prosperity during certain periods of the past.
The restoration of such conditions is now being sought in certain
sections of the country, and the effort is receiving encouragement
from the American government and American financiers. Initial
steps in this direction are reported from Chihuahua City, where for
eigners are attempting to revive business. They are said to have the
heartiest support of Gen. Trevino, who realizes that there can be no
permanent settlement of Mexico’s troubles until the hunger of her
people is allayed. Destitution, at first an effect, has become a most
jpotent cause. It resulted from banditry and civil strife and now is
one of the chief agencies for keeping the flames of discord aglow.
Despite the jeers and criticisms of those who have no patience
with President Wilson's Mexican policy, the horizoa is not without
signs of hope. Anti-American sentiment has decreased rapidly of
late, and there is reason to believe that efforts to resume business in
Mexico will receive the encouragemnt of a considerable percentage
of the Mexican people. It is quite believable that a small measure of
success in this direction will beget a larger measure. The move is
experimental, of course, but the experiment is certainly worth mak
ing.—Savannah Morning News.
QUALITY BRINGS QUANTITY
When you employ a man to drive your team on the farm you do
not select a weakling who would stagger under a fifty pound weight.
You want a man.
When you want a horse for speed and endurance you do not pick
up a sway-backed, string-halted and spavined plug. If you did yvou
would live and die in the shadow of the same spot.
Then why can not the same far sighted sagacity be applied to
the selection of your dairy stock?
Too many people are content to buy dairy stock of inferior breed
and trust to quantity to produce the financial returns. Their expect
ations are seldom realized.
Quantity is quantity, but it is quality that brings the price.
“Juantity, in fact, is one of the underlying results of quality, and the
man who keeps up the quality invariably reaps the reward of both
«uality and quantity. 4
There is no economy, no spirit of thrift, in buying cheap dairy
- tock, for a cheap cow, like everything else cheap, is just simply
<heap.
It is the essence of wisdom to get good stock and keep up the
breed. The quantity of milk will be greater, the quality will be high
cr, and the financial returns will be larger.
Quality brings quantity, in dairying as well as in all other lines
of business. {

Arranging and placing the

and under his expert supervision
the hundreds of small counters
with their brass price ticket hold
ers are being filled, each with its
proper article.
Among the special fixtures be
ing installed is an all glass (sani

being such that no wood, metal or
other substance touches the can

THE ODDS ON HUGHES
DROP BACK TO 6 TO 5
New York, July 17--Wall
Street betting odds on the Presi
dential election, which until very
recently have been largely in fa
vor of Hughes, has taken a decid
ed slump, and according to Ed
ward McQuade, the curb broker,
who handles most big commis
sions in the financial district, the
!hest odds followers of the ex-Jus
tice are now willing to give are
6 to 5, and even his adherents are
offering very little money.
Until a few days ago it was re
vorted in the Wall Street district
that large amounts were offered
by Hughes' followers, but now
very little Hughes’ money can be
found at any odds.

HORSE TRIES OUTRUN
TRAIN OVER TRESRLG,
Waycross, July 17.—An unus
ual runaway, in which a " horse
tried to get over two small tres
tles, is reported from Beach, in
the upper part of Ware county,
today. Saturday a young son ot
Sheriff Googe, of Bacon county,
was at Beach to get a load of
lumber. The horse he was driv
ing was frightened just as a train /
approached, and turning sharply
from the road dashed along the
railroad ahead of the train. The
horse got over one of the small
trestles all right, but fell through
the second. The train crew and
others helped get the animal off
the trestle.
It was during the making of
the Lasky picture, “Maria Rosa,”
under the direction of Cecil B,
DeMille, that Geraldine Farrar,
the star, first met Lou-Tellegen,
whom she married recently. The
noted prima donna and the popu
lar star of the romantic stage
were both at the Lasky studios at
Hollywood, - Cal., last summer.
Lou-Tellegen "two years ago
made his American stage debut
in “Maria Rosa” and he gave
Miss Farrar valuable advice when
she appeared in the picture ver
sion of the play.
“Maria Rosa” will be seen ‘on
Paramount night at the Grand
on Thursday. Those who have
seen the production declare it is
the best of the three photoplays
which Miss Farrar has made so
far for the Lasky company.
