Third Prizes--. Also Won
First Prize Last Year.
Lee County won first prize
again this year at the Albany
South-Georgia Fair, competing
with other progressive counties
of this section. Out of the Agri
cultural products on display we‘
won 74 individual prizes, besides
taking first prize for county ex
hibit as a whole. Few people of
our own county realize what we
can grow here in Lee county un
til all the county products are
put together. We have here in
Lee county lands adapted to grow
ing any fruit or vegetable that
that can be grown anywhere, our
lands are fertile and our climate
is-good and the sooner the people
realize that diversified farming is
our only salvation, the sooner we
will have a more progressive
citizenship in our courty. Itis
worth any persons time and ex
pense to see this wonderful ex
hibit that was just gathered here
and there from all sections of
our county to go and see. Lee
county should feel proud of her
citizens who undertaken the
tagk of getting together this
wonderful display of farm pro
ducts. Sure we have here in Lee,
county the Garden spot of thel
world, it has been proven more
than once* Let the people begin
now to prepare for another ex
hibit, not only for the Albany
Fair but for others in other sec
tions and the time to start is
NOW. We are not organized
like some other counties we know
who have Boards of Trade,
Chambers of Commerce, Civie
Clubs and Agricultural Agents,
but we do.say that we have some
hustling.

COMMITTEE CAN'T BUY
Just to show the unscrupulous measures that are
being indulged by the Peach County Campaign
Committe, of Fort Valley, and the broad mistakes
that they are making in their death struggle for a
measure born of selfish greed and fostered by rotten
tactics, we quote a telegram received from them by
the Journal on last Thursday, October 26th:
FT. VALLEY, OCT. 26th, 3:17, P. M.
JOURNAL: :
Reserve editorial "expression on Peach County until
statement of our pesition and advertising matter are re
ceived. _ :
PEACH COUNTY CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE
———which leads us to wonder if they haye an idea where
we got on and to further wonder if they think, in their
littleness of thought of things material and honest, if we
need a guardian to tell us where to get off.
It’s just the outeropping of the truth of the old adage
that a drowning man grasps at a straw and of the fact
that every man who has his price thinks the other fellow
is likewise in the market to be bought. But not so in this
instance. We are a. citizen of Georgia and of Lee
county by adoption and have learned to love her every
foot of soil and her true citizenship. We were born with
the inherent principal of justice and right to all, and were
we not a citizen of Georgia, we would feel the same
to old Houston county, our fight would still be open
and above-board against the formation of Peach from the
territory and citizenship of these two counties on the
grounds that the Great God of the universe would frown
his disapproval on such a movement.
No, the Lee County Journal cannot be bought nor can
it be subsidized by a plot as diabolical as the acts of the
imps in Purgatory. There is not enough money in the
proposed new county to get one inch of reading matter in
nor to keep one inch of our expression, which is from the
heart, out of this paper. Like Andy Gump, we are for
the people, and if the people-will but inform themselves
in the data that is being furnished them, regarding the
injustice to Macon and Houston counties should this mea
sure carry, not to mention the raise of ali taxes in Georgia,
in righteous wrath the voters will march to the polls and
forever lay at rest the idea of every village clamoring to
become a county seat of government to be officered from -
its midst, to the detriment of their neighbors and their
fellow man,
Yes, we are against Peach County, and only hope, from
the depths of our hearls, and are working just as we hope,
that Hades will be frozen seventy-five miles thick and that
the imps will be maroevering on ice-skates when the
grand old state of Georgia allows such a perpetration of
gred and. political chachinery to pass by a popular vote,

None of us are standing still. In these modern
strenuous times there is no middle ground. We are
either progressing or retrograding; we are either going
forward or backward. To which class do_ you belong.
Are yousspending more than you make? If you are
doing this, or even if you are merely spending all you
make, you belong to the down hill class, for you are los
ing the opportunity to lay up something for the future
every day that passes. ‘‘The mill will never grind with
water that has passed.”’
On the other hand, if you are saving persistently
and systematically, be it ever so little, you are not a
drone but are on the road to independence, and will
some day be a power in the land, for there never was a
trurer saying than ‘‘money is power.”’
Let us help you on thé‘up-hill or progressive road.

No X-Ray for Birds. 3
Dr. Peckerwood knows just where
to operate. He needs no X-ray or
stethoscope to determine the sgeat of
the trouble, says the American For
estry magazine, In summer he may,
hear the borer working in the_ wood,
but In winter, when both insects and
trees are frozen, when there is no pos
ibllity of any sound to guide him, the
tree doctor always operates just where
the hibernating, motioniess ingects lia
snugly hidden in their cells.
