A Men This Time
“It has baen many a year since
Georgia had a legislature which
was so seriously determined, as
the present General Assembly is,
to hold down appropriations.
The appeals from different
departments for more money i
falling on ears which may be
sympathetic but so far the sym
pathy is chiefly for the taxpay
er, as it should be, according tc
some of the leading member of
the assembley.
The exposure f the grea
growth in expenses c¢f recent
years has been widely publishec
in the newspepers and the p o
ple, say many lawmakers, are
_demanding rigid econcmy.
As a rule, legislation is shaped
“by the committees. - Many :
“trick has been put over .in the
" past by complacent committees.
This year, the committees ure
hardioiled when it comes to
spending money.
It seems to be generally under
clood that it will b 2 had politics
to lLoost larger appropriaticns
this summer. Thanks to the
newspapers and especially the
weeklies, the people are watch
ing the expenses because large
. appropriations .mean higher
taxes, it is pointed out.
In connection with the bili
which has keen introduced to
~ repeal the law which created the
class of pensioners, it is stated
- that while there are 17,000 on
. the state’s pension rolls, there
. are less than 7,000 Confederate
" veterans still living in Georgia.

3 rganizing Locals

‘ ALBANY, Ga., July 23.—-Peinul
growers in every county id South
~sgorgia will ina few weeks have an
opportunity to attend meetings of
organizations in their own comimuni
ties thut will be branches of the
Georgia Peanut Growers Co-opera
tive Association. They will also
qave a county-wide organization
with headquarters at the county
site to which their loeal will rend
citicial delegates for each meeting.
The counties of Deecatur, Seminole,
Grady and Early have already set
up their organizations and made
selections of communities for locals.
Mitchell and Miller Counties will
held meetings this week to perfect
’ .ounty organizations and designate
communities for locals.
} Tiese community locals are ex
%-,,Ccted t> be the very life blood of
e Peanut Association—the means
of ccntaet between the -individual
nember and his association. Col
onel Ligbert E. L. Spence, president
of the Associntion, is anxious that
every contract signer shall be an
active member of his nearest local.
~]t wil! not oaly do him good and
the Peanut Association good for him
to take an active part in the meet
ings of his loesl, “Cclorel! Spence
said, “but it will do his community
and his county good, for these locals
will take up and discusss in an in
tellicent way tlhe problems of the
cognnunitieq they representy such
23 better reads, better schools and
‘other tihings pertaining to the pub
lie gocd. Furthermore, it will en
able us who are officers of the farm
ers’ owa association—for it is theirs
—+4o handle their problems more
effectively. They will be able to
‘supply us with much valuable in
ii'ormation which we can use in
marketing their peanuts to a bet
‘f ter advantage.
Whkile the locals are being set up
in the different counties where
there are enough members, the of
ficers of the Association at Albany
are going ahead with well-perfected
plans for marketing the crop for
which they foresee excellent prices.
Already it his been decided that
'the ‘peanuts marketed through the
association shall bear the brand
| name of “Uncle Remus,” a name
suggested by John H. Mock, direc
tor of field service. The name is
regarded as typically Georgian and
typically Sowthern, and one that
will carry a universal appeal where
ever children are read or told the
stories that Joel Chandler Harris
immortalized under the pen name of
I“‘Unc‘.e Remus.” v
It i s the purpose of the Peanut
Agsociation to put on the market a
one-pound package of raw peanuts,
similar to the famous “Pickaninny”
brand put out Dby the Virginia-
North Carolina Peanut Association,
consumption of peanuts. These
which has so greatly increased the
packages contain recipes for mak
ing peanut butter and for many
other uses of peanuts. It is esti
mated that, with the increaseed
popularity t hat will come through
advertising and proper szles meth
uds, that these packages alone will
in a few years sell a greater volume
of peanuts than are now grown in
ghe Virginiz-North Carolina and the
Gecrgia peanuts belts—the largest
two peanut-producing acres in the
United States.

Lee Gounty Joumnal
nstalfs New Model
- tourtean Linoiype
With this Machine We are
Prepared to give the
of Lee Couanty a Much
Better Paper and Job
Printing
With a good deal of satisfaction
she editor cf the Lee County Journ
al announces the installation of a
new Model 14 Linotype. This me
chanical marvel is specially equip
ped with a complement of type
faces which enables us to serve ef
ficiently the large number of per
sons who look to our publication
for enlightenment and entertain
ment, and who patronize our job
printing department.
The rapidly increyng circulation
5f the Lee County Journal together
with our desire to place at the com
mand of our advertisers and others
the highest Igrade of typography,
induced us to add to our mechani
2al equipment a multiple-magazine
Linotype for the quick and accurate
and pleasing presentation of the
aews of the dey, and the production
of supericr job work.
Our ncw Linotype euables us to
et by machine virtually ail forms
>f composition that previously
secessitated tedious work by hand.
Jur plant is now capable of turn
.ng out composition consisting ot
worrect type faces in many different
sizes, and the change from one size
.0 snother is made by a “twist of
he wrist.,” In the flicker of an eye
.ash the versatile operator—whose
land is made famous by the Mer
senthaler . Linotype Company as
4re hand that keeps the world in
‘ormed’’-—on the versatile machine
sets type of the following faces and
sizes:
Eight point Century, Ten point
Century and Fourteen point Cen
tury.
This installation is a testimonial
to the prosperity of Leesburg and
vicinity. And that the good people
of the community are duly apprecia
tive of our efforts to serve them
in ali ‘departmients of the printing
business in manifested by the many
compliments received from indivi
dual patrons since the arrival of our
new machine.
The accompanying illustration
wiil give our readers some idea of
the marvelous mechanism of the
iLinotype, a composing machinz on
which are assembled matrices (or
Ilittle brass molds) and lines of type
cast—llines such as you are now
reading. The particular model of
machise waich we have just instal
led carries at one time four sets
of matrices—econtrolled from a
standard kevboard of ninety keys
and an auxiliary keyboard of twen
ty cight-——and gives the operator in
stant command of 568 different
characters.
Besides enabling the operator to
sct varicus faces and sizes of type,
our new Lonotype makes it possible
for Lim to produce the rules and
dashes and borders which are used
in various advertisements in each
iscue of our publication. When em
ployed in the composing of adver-
Lisements, newspaper headings,
Looklets, catzlogues, and various
other Linds of printed matter, our
icw bodel 14 ¢nables one operator
to ceb in the same {ime more type
kan ordinarily could be produceced
Hy five or six men or women doing
he work by hand—and the compo
ition’ is incomporably better.
While for a long time we have
-eceived the patronage of a host of
subseribers, advertisers and printing
yuyers in general, we look forward
o the handling of an even greater
'.'glume of business now that we
we go well qualified to render the
:ort of servece most to be desired.
It has becen our aim to present
“he nows of the day without fear
or favor, and to reflect faithfully
the ideals and ambitions of our con
stituents; and we shall continue te
devote our talents and resources Yo
Ethe fulfilling of this aim. And of
great help to us in the carrying out
")f our purpose will be our new
Model 14 Linotype.

Two new steamships, to be
known as ‘‘The City of Chat
tanooga’” and the ‘'City of
Birmingham’' will be launched
by the Ocean Steamship Com
pany in July and August. Kach
wili be of 6500-ton capacity,
twenty per cent larger than the
best of the eight ships now in
seryice, and each will cost one
million dollars. They are equip
ed for quick handling of freight
and contain enlarged and super
ior accomodations for passenger
trayel.
In speaking of these ships
President W. A. Winburn, of the
Centrai of Georgia Railway calls
attention to the advantages of
rail and water transportation uas
proyided by the Central and
its coastwide connectionz. This
service Legan op:ration as early
as 1848; and provided cheap and
expeditious transportation for
light and heavy freight originat
ing at the markets along the
eastern seaboard and for the
products cf the couth moving
northward. The service proved
of real value to tie bhusiness
world and bhas grown in impor
tance until now there eight ships
in the fleet, with scailings be
tween Savannah and New York
three times per week; Savannah
and Boston twice weekly. 'The
Merchants & Miners Transporta
tion Company, an independent
company, has sailings twice a week
between Savannah, Baltimore and
fhiladelphia. [t has just put two
aew chips into service.
More than twenty thousand pas
sengers annually use the ships of
the Occan Steamship Company, and
its freight service enjoys an exten
sive patronage not only in the souih
cast, but as far west as Colorado
and Utah.
President Winburn says the worth
of this combination of rail and
water service to American business
justifies the large expenditures be
ing made to insure its permanence
and improvement.

The legislators are up against
a hard preblem on the tax ques-
Ltion, —
If thay repeal the equslizetion
aw it will cost the state $2,000,-
000 in revenue and no sure way
w raise that much additional
noney has been found.
An income tax amendment has
to get two-thirds of each house
and then get a majority of the
votes in the next gencral elec
tion.
Unless the proposed tax is a
mild one, it will be fought at the
polis and there is yreater danger,
it is pointed: out here, ‘that it
will ‘be defeated, just as the
Peach icounty amendment ‘was
haaten last fall, Nearly ' every
eof the 70,000 who pay a
Jederal income tax would, it i 3
asserted, work and vote against
it, and itis assumed that 'the
Watson following would be
against it becanse the latesenator
was oppored toit. Week after
week, last year, he told his
readers to vote against an income
tax.
It is szid that not a égingle
constitutional amendment carried
n any state in 1922,
Discussing the North Carolina
tax plan, which has bheen fre
quently mentioned in tax dis
cussions, one lawmaker said:
“I'ke North Carolina tax plan
has been ridiculed to death., A
few members of the legislature
bragged so much about ‘the Tar
Heel plan that they made every
body tired. Someone proposed
to change the name of cur state
to New North Carolina and’ the
wonderful plan was laughed out
of existence.,’
