Will He Stand By His Assertion.
In hie inaugural address Gov.
Smith said that he would veto ap
propriation bills if they appropri
ated an amount larger than thn
revenue. That is exactly what he
ought to do, but will he? State
ments like that are so often made
for effect that they are not always
accepted as being genuine.
The trouble with the federal
goverment, and state, county and
municipal governments all over
the country is that they don’t keep
within there revenues. New York
furnishes an example at this very
time. The New York Sun, com
menting on the condition of that
state’s treasury, says: “The net
result is that the state treasury is
empty. It was emptied by Re
publican Legislatures which suc
cessfully appropriated more mon
ey than the state anually received
and thus in four years turned a
surplus of $121) 000.000 into a de
ficit of nearly $2,000,000.
But we do not have to go so far
as New York to find support for
the statemenr that states, counties
and municipalities live beyond
their incomes . It hasn't been so
long since this state had enough in
its treasury on Jan. 1 to meet all
of its expenses until the next tax
paying time. Now there is talk of
increasing its borrowing power
from $200,000 to SOOO,OOO. And
many of the counties and cities of
this state have to anticipate their
revenues. This is due, of course
to bad management. No matter
how great the revenue may be
there is certain to be a deficit if
inefficient men are chosen to man
age the ftnaueeg,
Smith Understood well
wfiat the trouble was in this state
and hence uttered the warning re
specting a veto. A few vetoes
would bring legislators to there
senses, would impress upon them
that if the state is to be kept out
of debt its finances must be man
aged With judgement and care.
More money must not be appropri
ated than the state gets in revenue.
Those who press for appropriations
for one thing or another never
consider the amount of the reve
nue. Their sole object is to get
what they want, and it is unfor
tunate that the Legislature too of
ten lacks the will to say no. Debt
always means trouble, whether the
debtor is the state, county, city or
citizen. —Morning News.

Good peogle, we all ought to

do better. Sunbeam.

Why Not Get Busy?
Industry is the key to all prog
ress and the progress of the indi
vidual is an important factor.
Now, why keep waiting and hop-;
mg gome one else will see our op
portunitidß and oome in and dc- 1
velop our many latent possibili- 1
ties into active industries? This
brings to mind an incident wit
nessed when a child: a young far
mer having planted heavily in
sugar cane neglected his crop to
spend his time swapping knives
at a cross roads store; finally he
quit working altogether, his wife
taking charge of the farm,making
it yield a phenominal amount of
syrup and sugar. She was a frail,
weak little sun-bonnet woman
who had been sat upon so long
that she had long since ceased to
resent anything. Several ladies
hearing of her industry and de
termination drove over to her
home to “hold up the hands of
their brother,” as it were. Her
“wusser half,” with hands in his
pockets, walked around until he
would not stand her praise any
longer. With a defiant toss of the
head he said. “Oh, shaw, I be
dashed if I could not have done as
well!” The little clod-hopper
threw’ down the syrup-ladle, jerk
ed off her bonnet, defiantly step
ped forward and said: “Well I be
durned if you have done it;*’ yet,
if some-one else comes in and
picks up the opportunity you have
overlooked, you would probably
resent hie making a fortune “just
as easy as sliding down hill.”
Just think, Georgia ranks now
in the agricultural output as the
fourth, having jumped, in the last
three years from tenth. —Ex.
Now, friends, Toombs county,
though small compared to some of
the other counties, is helping in
this great increase for old Georgia
but cant we do more? Yes we can,
so lets get busy. We have the soil,
as fine as any or. earth, and we
can improve. Lets do it or give the
“ladle handle” over to some one
else,
