The election is over.
The old * xying, “it’s ail ovcr but
the shouting'’ is false *ogic.
One of our successful candidate
says, “I’m just beginning to realise
the seriousness of the responsibilitj
placed on me.”
Cach candidate should realize that
it is a position of honor and public
trust and be governed accordingly.
It is quite an honor to he chosen
by a majority of your fellow men
to these places of trust.
The county is largely judged by
these leaders, and it behooves them
to make good.
As voters, ve should respect the
choice o' the majority and uphold
them in whatever they undertake
fi.r the good of this section.
Oip* respect for the office should
now make -us feel that they are
"cur candidate, regardless of past
feelings.
Let us all unite foi the good of
the majority, regardless of our per
sonal gain.
AS VVE SEE IT—
j.ost. week one oi our county cit
izens came in arui requested a paper
fur one of Ids neighbors in order to
get the election returns. Knowing
that neiher of these men has thought
enough of their county paper to usb
scribe for it in the past several
months, we asked if he sent he, the
usual price of same. To our sur
prise, this man threw down the pa
per on the counter, and stalked out,
not saying a word. H.s att turte
shewed that he had lost the proper
regard for the paper, and vve were
made to feel that we, as newspaper
people, do not demand the respect
due us. Often so eager for subserit
ers, we often leave the imprvssh'm,
by occasional in subscription rate
during drives, by offering premiums,
by allowing subscriptions to expire
and continuing same for some time,
then no* 'e nuring payrn*nt,for arm*,
and in many other- we.ys the public
is ftwO *...w. v.’ *..1 iv. ii very
small value on what we have to sell.
In another instance in the past
few weeks, i eO-’-iv a lady la the coun
tv sent in a long obituary with re
quest for publication which vve glad
ly did at a considerable expense, and
accojrapanied the article with a re
quest to send copies of this issue o'
The News to $ or 10 different per
sons, while neither she nor they art'
subscribers of the paper. Practically
every other paper we knew of chang
es for this matter at sc. per line
for Cards of Thanks and obituaries,
but we fee! that we want to
every consideration to those in trou
ble and it is not a money considera
tion with us, and refuse pay although
nearly every one offers to pay for
seine.
Another man felt it highway rob
bery that we mi'.de him h charge **f
2T>c. for a small business ad, showing
hi< feeling by being surprised and
asking if we didn't have to have
something to fill up our columns.
Few of our subscribers realize
flat the of sending out a year’s
sunscripion to a weekly paper is
more than dcub'e the price wc are
p.sking. Were t i>c for the gike of
o; 1\ r’lskiif ,'v- ry aociv. .j ui *uh-
seription would be a loss instead of
i gain. Yet we appreciate every
üb.seriber and would like to have
The News and Monitor in every
(,me in the county, feeling that it
is worth several times the cost to
my home.
These- are a few things as we see
them.
LAVONIA CHAMBER COMMERCE
URGES TODD AND FEED
CROPS
Or. account of the shortage of the
rriin and hay crons of this section
th; Lavonia Chamber of Commerce
: s issuing a circular urging the Far
wvs of Franklin county to plant
•aily and a plenty of these crops to
lot tor is still our best money crop,
v-ou will also notice that the success
ful farmer is the one who raises his
upplies and is independent of the
urtside supply Th's a:tide is so time
!• >,ve ire copying it as follows:
“At no time in the history of our
•ourty has the condition of the food
and feed crops become so alarming
as at the ore ent . For eight weeks
practically the cnt’re county and sur
rounding .section has fcenn in the path
of a most severe drouth. Conserva
tive estimates place the corn crop as
being cut in half and the upland acre
age devoted to this crop is almost a
complete failure. The harvest of the
past years’ oat crop was far below
normal, with scarcely enough har
vested for the fall seeding to say
nothing of feed for the ensuing year.
With these condition.; facing us ev
ery intelligent farmer should be a
roused to the above situation by seed
ing a full acreage to -early grain and
hay crops..
Every farm, depending upon the
and :e, should seed from 1 to 5 acres
in rye. during September for early
grazing and early hay. Grazing can
he had from this from December Ist
o March Ist, if seeded in September.
And hav can be cut from this as ear
ly as April Ist. Seed some of the
best land on the farm, at t’-.e rate of
■m bushel per acre. Some farmers
find it a good practice to cut this
hay early and put this land back to
corn or cotton with good results.
“Oats, wheat and vetch, in combi
nation has proved to be an cxcel-
I lent spring hay crop for this section
Jof Georgia. As it yields abundantly
and the feed is of superior quality.
This crop responds to good land and
fertilization. Therefore, seed some of
"onr best acres with an application
''f what barn yard manure i: avail
able.
“Hite of '.reding: 2 Inm’je’s*
1-2 bushel wheat and 10 pounds of
vetch reed. It should be seeded not
ater than October, and can be har
vested by May Ist. Some farmers
in this county have got as much as
two tans of cured hay per acre of
th( finest quality, from this combi
nation.
“Oats have proved to be the best J

THE REAL NEW YEAR.
WHAT iS “WELL BORN?”
THE TACTFUL PRINCE.
LABOR MUST SAVE ITSELF.
Men and women, young or old,
with ambition left, sbou.J remem
ber that anew year ha3 begun.
Tlie lie v year of SUCCESS does
not begin on January 1, in the mid
dle of Winter. It begins now, with
Summer ended, vacations over,
schools open, everything under
way.
He who begins carrying out his
good resolutions and working hard
now, instead of waiting until next
January 1, will have a start of four
months on tiie others, and that’s a
good start.
Flying from Greenland to Lab
rador, ths American fliers got back
to the American mainland in five
months and fourteen days after
their start around the world.
Children of the future will be
amazed at this slow trip around the
world. A feature of public school
education in future ages will be a
flying trip around the world during
Summer vacation. The child of
twelve will know the principal
mountain ranges, rivers and capi
tals of the world by having actually
seen them.
Statistics show that the month of
marriage is changing from June to
August, and that’s a good thing.
June is the month from the roman
tic point of view, August from the
practical point of view.
The first baby of an August wed
ding comes along in the Spring with
the flowers of May and can be put
outdoors at once to get fresh air.
In addition, the mother can nurse
the baby all through the hot months
of the first Summer, when the right
artificial food is hardest to find.

worried about human breeding, and
in the future of the race. “The well
born refuse to breed, and the ill
born insist on breeding too much,’*
say these anxious worriers. ..
It all depends on what you call
well born. The fortunate child is
born of a mother that wants chil
dren and the ill born comes from a
mother that does NOT want chil
dren.
Time, evolution, gradual lifting
up of the frontal angle, and public
schools will take care of the human
race, if the babies get the right
start. The right start begins in a
mother’s affection for the father of
her child. Without that, pity tho
child. With that, everything else
can be straightened out. What heat
is in the making of steel, affection
is in tho creation of children.
Farmers will be interested to
know that the Argentine Republic
spends $5,000,000 for 80,000 tons of
galvanized iron sheets to keep back
devouring locusts. The sheets will
be given to the farmers free and
they will be compelled to put them
up, digging a ditch where the lo
custs will accumulate and be de
stroyed.
The United States Steel Prcd
nets Company supplies the steel.
Bare we’d call free steel for farm
ers’ socialism.
The young Prince of Wales might
have made a successful career on
his own hook. He has tet, the
ki./stone ki the arch of success.
Reporters wired from the ship
that he had danced Jtwjth a young
Bt Louis girl whom he had never
met. When the news was sent back
to the ship hy wireless, the Prince
requested an introduction to tho
young woman and danced with her
twice.
That, reminds you of Aferaham
L;a/ofuoj taatful treatment of a
reporter who had written about
Lincoln's life and the books he had
read, few enough in number. Lin
coln fold him that one of the boofca
he bad never read, but, to make
everything all right, he would read
it, ami he did.
Latar in one cog in the machine
of modern industry, the most im
portant cog. although the machine
doesn’t admit it. Labor's destiny
depends on labor, not benevolent
speeches In political campaign*.
When nen know more they will
have mere. When they stick to
gether .a v capitalists stick together,
free of "digioua and race hatreds
anu prejudices, they will have
power. m
Froansrity and power they must
get for Themselves; they will not
