A BETTER DAY COMlNG—Editor J. Doyle
Jones, of the Jackson Progress-Argus, strikes the
keynote in his subjoined paragraph:
“Georgia’s resources and advantages are too
great for the old state to stay in the dumps long
at the time. A better day is coming. The pco
ple are working hard and economizing and that
is the thing that counts.” To the opinion of the
Jackson paper Lditor Thomas W. Loyless of the
Columbus Enquirer-Sun, adds:
“Hard work and economy, if persisted in long
enough, will finally make 2 fellow winner. And
he has not much chance to win any other way.”
The Fitzgerald Leader joins in the chorus as
follows:
“With tobacco shining golden in the ficlds and
stalks of corn tossing their® silky tassels at
patches of cotton whose heavy bolls are just
beginning to crack into rich, white smiles, who
in South Georgia can have the blues or look into
the future with other than happy confidence?”
Encouraging news indeed. From North Geor
gia comes the welcome report that the prospects
for a large grain crop were never more satisfac
tory. From throughout the state news comes
of large acreages of grain. The information ol
tainable sees to indicate that Georgia is not suf
fering with “famine and pellagra.” Atlanta
Journal. .
A NEGRO’S INSPIRING MESSAGE From
the Moultrie Observor—\When the daughter of
Perry Davis, a Macon county negro, recently
married, this is the message she carried to her
husband from her father:
“In my home you have grown up from child
hood to womanhood and now that you are going
out to help make a home for yourself I want to
remind you of something you ran repeat to your
husband that may be of value to you both.
“Never, in my home, have you eaten biscuits
made from bought flour grown in another man’s
field. The meat you have eaten has always been
raised at home and your syrup has been made
from cane grown in my patch. Always, since
you were born, home cows supplied you milk
and butter and home poultry furnished you eggs
and chickens. I owe no man a cent and while
comparatively a poor man, 1 have a few thousand
dollars in the bank. You and your husband will
be independent if your first rule is to make your
farm feed you.”
We are indebted to The Macon Telegraph for
the above. Tt could be duplicated a thousand
times in south Georgia, but it is an interesting
item that cannot be printed or told too often. We
have lost a sreat deal in this scction by buying
things we could have produced. We are still
doing it. The fellow who is producing the great
est variety of stuff at home and buying the least
abroad is the fellow who stood these “tight times”
the best. He doesn't shine particularly in those
years when big farmers make big crops and sell
at big prices, but taken one year after another,
the fellow who makes his crops at smallest fin
ancial cost and buys the least away from home
is in the easiest circumstances, Very often, like
the negro named above, he has money in the
bank instead of a mortgage on the farm.
A VACATION FOR MR. FARMER—We don't
know how many farmers are going to be able to
take a “Seeing America vacation this fall after all
the crops are in and sold but it is pleasant to know
that the farmers of at least one section will be in
position to do so. '
Already the railroads have been asked to submit
figures for a “cross-country” trip by the farmers,
their wives—and perhaps some of the children—
who live in the great “Inland BEmpire, which con
sists of sections of the states of Washington, Ida
ho, and Oregon. Their lands are of volcanic ash,
20 to 24 inches deep and the soil is so rich that it
yields 60 to 100 bushels of wheat to the acre year
in and year out. .
Must have been lots of money in that during
the war, and a representative of the “Inland Em
pire farmer says that there are good profits in it
even this year. Anyway, a lot of these farmers are
going to make the trip to the Atlantic seaboard
and back by way of Southern California.
Every farmer and his wife are entitled to a va
cation and we hope more of them will take it, if
they possibly can.
It doesn’t look much like a vacation for our
cotton farmers, however.

From the Nashville'Herald: “We read with in
terest the fact that Stewart Gelders has left Fitz
gerald and gone to Athens where he takes charge
as city editor on the Athens Herald. He is a
very bright and promising young man and we
hate to have him leave South Georgia. His fare
well is very sensible however, and to the point.”
s 3e—y; THE MIDNIGHT CALL
_ The doctor hears the noisy
i : ibell, and staggers to the phone,
, . ithcn silently he dons his garb,
i izmd marches forth, alone; a chill
g WM pervades the empty street, and
L\‘ -2 stings his weary form, while
> sthers, in their cosy cots are
comforted and warm. Through all the toilsome
weary day be battled with his foes, anticipating
in his way, a night of earned repose. But ah, how
vain the doctor’s hopes! The thought of peace
ful rest, or happy hour to call his own, eludes his
constant quest. "Tis his to strive for competence
against the rainy day, and his to heal the suffer
ing ones, that fall beside the way; ’tis his to lend
the cheering smile, and lift the wasted form,—no
matter how the midnight chills, nor how severe
the storm. For him, there is no peaceful dream,
—no restful hour is set, wherein this silent, car
nest man may rally, —or forget. God, give him
strength to overcome his heartaches, one and all,
and lead him gently when he makes his final
midnight call: 45

The rumored appointment of Attorney F. G.
Boatright of Cordele to the position of United
States District Attorney for the Southern Dis
trict of Georgia, is of much interest to his many
friends in this county. As General Manager of
the Tifton and Northeastern Railway, the first
road to enter Fitzgerald, Col. Boatright, who at
that time lived in Tifton, was of incalcuable as
sistance to the early settlers of this colony, all
of whom learned to like him for his genial dispo
sition and his readiness to assist the home seck
ers from the frozen north. In the early days of
this colony Col. Boatright was almost a daily
visitor to the settlement, and was a special friend
to the old soldiers, many of whom are still livipg
here and whose friendship he has held all these
years. Col. Boatright is an able lawyer and
successful practioner, having been connected
with many of the foremost cases in the courts of
South Georgia.
MR. AND MRS. What wonderful thoughts
come up when these two abbreviations are print
ed in a news item—what intense human interest
these portray.
In the country weekly paper, they take the
one big place in all news items, from the simple
visit to relatives, to the larger matters of human
life.
“Mr. and Mrs.” —the great news item of the
universe, the bringer of recollections to the man
far from home, who takes his old home town pa
per, and reads the items of Mr. and Mrs. and

knew the Mr. and Mrs. in knee pants, and shall
we say, short skirts,

Mr. and Mrs.

To Stop Accidents
ATLANTA, Aug. 2z—The increas
ing number of automobile accidents
which have been the subject of inves
tigation in Atlanta must necessarily
lead to the beleif, as pointed out by
the city officials here, that those who
drive cars often are entirely too reck
less, take chances they should not
take and ignore dangers that they
should be carefully guarded against.
“A mania to go tast, a reckless dis
regard of precautions, sometimes the
contrabond bottle, these are the chiei
causes probably of the fatal auto ac
cidents, and the number of accidents
appear to be increasing rather than
diminishing in Atlanta and other of
the southerin cities” said traffic offi
cers here who are now as perhaps
never before enforcing the traffic laws
and regulations to the letter,
The Atlanta police court has dock
eted more cases during the last few
days than has ever been known in
the history of the city, Police offi
cers have been told to enforce the
traffic laws with all the rigidity of
which they are capable and they say
they will get a multitude of auto
|owncrs before they get through,
WORLD ALMOST LOST GENius
Handel, Immortal Composer, Had Re
markable Escape From Death in
Duel in Early Life.
The great composer Handel was
bore at Halle, February 24, 1684, and
at the outset of his professional life,
which was about his twentieth year,
he was nearly lost to the world by
a quarrel with one Matthewson, aa
able musician, who violently assault
ed him. A duel ensued, and nothing
but a score buttoned under Handel's
coat and on which his antagonist’s
weapon broke, saved his life, which
was destined to prove of inestimable
| value to the whole world.
[ In performing on the organ his
command of the instrument was
amazing, as was the fullness of his
harmony and the gracdeur and dig
nity of his style. Handel wore an
enormous white wig, and when things
went well at the oratorios it had a
certain nod or vibration which de
noted his satisfaction and pleasure.
Without this signal it was certain
that he was out of humor.
He never married and died pos
sessed of $lOO,OOO, of which he be
queathed one-half to the fund for de
cayed musicians, while the remainder
went to his relatives.—Chicago Jour
nal.
