The Departwent of Agriculture
has just issued a Jitdle bulletin tell
ing the apple raisers how to keep
cider from becoming hard. Who in
thunder wants to keep it from get
ting hard?
E L
Seemingly it wde a poor lot of
Jegislative timber that could be
lobbied by the K. K. K. The peo
ple elected the legislative members
and should blame nobody but them
gelves for their shortcomings,
i :
The Macon Telegraph wants an
extra session of the legislature.
What have the people of Georgia
done to the Telegraph that itJesires
to thus inflict such unmerciful pun
ishment? |
il I s ‘
A headline saye, "‘Eud of Strike
Near.”” Which end? Thething has
become such a conglomerated mess
with the stirving that is has had
that we are hardly able to tell one
end of it from another, nor can we
figure just what the strikers want.
Wonder if they might tell us in
other language than that they want
the earth and the fulness thereof
with a real nice white-washedafence
around it.
S
A world of tobacco was raised in
Georgia, this year, yet little of it
will be manufactured in this state.
There is where we fall down. The
other fellow manufactures it and
gets the money out of it. One of
the greatest needs of our section is
(ii\'ergitietl manvfacturers as well as
diversified farming. '
EDUCATION AND PROSPERITY
As the time approaches for the
opening of school, when the young
steas of the land shall be gathered
into the recitation rooms to receive
the training to fit them for the
battles of life, to carry in honor the
mantels of church and state, we are
led aback over a kaledioscopic view
of life and in retrospeet can see
what we fain would have seeninour
childhood’s school days and have
profited thereby. 9
An ignorant people not only is
but must be a poor people. They
must he destitute of sagacity and
providence, and, of course, of compe
tence and comfort. The proof of
this does not depend upon the
Jessons of hi~tory, but upon the con~
stitution of nature. No richness of
climate, no spontancous productive
ness of soil, no facilities of commerce,
no store of gold or of diadems can
confer even worldly prosperity upon
an unedicated nation. Such a
nation cannot create wealth of it
self; and what ever riches can be
showered upon it will run to waste.
Within the last four centuries,
the people of Spain have owned as
much silver and gold asall the other
nations of Kurope put together; yet,
at the present time poor indeed are
the people who have lcss.tl‘mn they.
Tiie nation which has produced
more of the raw material, and man
ufactured from it more fine linen,
than all._contemporary nations, is
now the weakest, the most raggedl
and squalid in Christendom. ]
THE HARVEST TIME
The antumnal bpze is in theuky,‘
the cool mornings gives us a mofe
elastic step, the toils of making are
over and the satisfuction of guther
ing is along on ity way and the fur
merg afe busying themselves with
the houding of the fruits of their
labors.
Already the cotton is being pluck
ed from the stalk,where flufly und'l
white it waves as o flag of truee to
thoge whom the farmer owes, Corn
will soon be gathered in fair measure
the hay ecrop with its mellowed
sweetness i 3 in the stack or in the
Darm, the potatoes, with a hundred
)luld of sweetness are breaking the
il above them and will roon be
worn from their slumbers beneath
the soil, Peanuts, that later will
parch before the open fire apd bring
cheer to the winters evenings are
even now being brought from the
fields, while goon on almast every
hand will be seen the curling smoke
that will tell of grinding mills and
boiling kettles that betoken “‘cane
grinding,”” a time in the lives of
swuths and aged alike joy and an
anxiely to be present and gnaff the
Lonied juice, taste the finished pro
duct and overfiow with the joyous:
ness that alone buoys our spirit at
this time.
? The autumn, was it not incorrect
ly quoted by the bard who sang cf
it as ‘‘the saddest of the year,”” and
should it not be a season of thaiks
giving in which we should all in
dulge and promulgate our thanks
for the beauty, the good and the
blessings that have been attendant
throughout the year?
Love the seasons all; bow in
harmonious obeisance (o their en
chanting calls, buc revel in the har
vest as o strong man who winneth
a race, for truly every inspiration
‘that is born ofsthe harvest awakens
a reverie of plenty and the Giver ()f‘
it,
WALTER R. McDONALD
Walter R. MeDomald, well known
Legislator from Richmond County,
who has been a lawyer in - Augusta,
gince his graduation from the
University of Georgia a number of
years ago, is a candidate for the
Railrond Commission to succeed
Hon, ¢. Murphy Candler, who is
not a candidate for re-election.
Mr. McDonald is one of the best
known men in the State. He has
represented Richmond County in
Legislature for the past six years
has always been elected over strong
opposition, He has made a splen
did Lesiglator and his vote on all
Ing questions of -the day has always
been cast in the interest of the
people.
At the age of thirteen years Mr.
McDonald was suddenly stricken
blind This great ealamity, how
ever, did not not deter him frumi
his early ambition to become a law
yer. Ie attended the Academy for
the Blind at Macon, the Penn
sylvania School for the Blind and
Brown College, and after complet
ing his courses in these schools he
was a student at the Uniyeriity of
Georgia, graduating in law. Since
his graduation he has practiced law
with great success.
Mr. McDonald has made his own
way in the world. He has worked
for everything he has accomplished.
He is married and has two children.
His friends in eyery gection of the
of the State are rallving to his sup
port. Traveling in a Ford auto
mobile, driven by his wife, he has
been in more than one hundred
counties of the state, and has called
oo hundreds of people. It is be
lieved by his supporters that he will
be clected by a majority.
Stone Implements All Alike.
Perhaps the most characteristic df
the Stone age are the stone axes and
hammegs discovered In many places
in America. They are almost identi
«cal with the tools of the neolithic
man found in Eyrope. The stone
weapons include daggers and war
clubs. There are many examples of
stone dishes, hewn from small bowl
ders. MVith what appear to have been
rolling pins of somewhat angular de
slgn the prehistoric woman of this
coast seems to have been well sup
plied. Primitive man in British Col
umbla apparently did a little smok
ing now and then. Old shell mounds
on the Thompson and Kraser rivers
have ylelded. what appear to have
been some stone pipes. The early
explorers found the native races using
a true tobacco, nicotina attenuata,
which grows wild In the Thompson
river country and was smoked alone
:)r mixed with grease and kinnikin

1923, and prior to Lis death Judgr

with that of another candidate for
the full term beginning January Ist.
His announcement refers to the full
term. The voters shouid be care
ful upon this point to see that their

Judge Bell is a typical self-made
man, and has achieved his prerent
high standing through his own
efforts, He was born on a farm in
Webster County January 28th 1880.
He *worked - on the farm_for many
years, suffered the hardships of the

moved to ~ Cairo in 1905 ana has
lived there ever gince. In 1912 he'

'ingly elected. At the expiration of
rhis term he was elected again with-l
out oppostion, after which he was

of the Superior Court of the circuit
and was holding that position when

lawyer and every member of the
Albany ecircuit, showing the kLigh
esteem in which he is held by his

elected for the full term on the
Court of Appeals, It is pointed out

office for the full term because of

splendid Superior Court record, by

retained as Judge of Court of Ap
peals, [
Vote For James A. Perry
For Railroad Commissioner
The work of Railroad Commissioner
James A. Perry who has announced for
re-election, has been constructive and
of general interest and advantage to
&ll the people. His activity in provid
ing bettor facilities for the movement
of farm products, has resulted in great
savings to the agricultural interests.
Milling in transit privileges on grain;
canning and refining privileges on
syrup and molasses; application of the
10 per cent rate reduction on velvet
beans and cowpeas, effective last Janu
ary, are all results of his personal ef
fort, and have worked a saving of
gountless thousands to the people.
Commissioner Perry wrote and in
troduced the resolution eliminating the
base point system in Georgia, which,
when it goes into effect very shortly,
will relieve 2,100 shipping points from
& handicap due to preferential
rates heretofore enjoyed by some 35
large shipping centers. All pgints will
be put on equal footing,
QGeorglans are today paying seven
million dollars less per year for
all utility service, including rallroads,
than the same service -cost them
twelve months ago. :
Commissioner Perry is the only
member of the Georgia commission
ever elected president of the National
Association of R. R. Commissioners.
