THE LEE COUNTY JOURNAL VOoLUME TWENTY-FIVE .- Have the Right " . Fgte 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. . - 1 Notice of Teachers ‘ Examination The examination for license to - Each in the public Schools of Geor gia, will be held in Leesburg, August 3rd and 4th next begin. ‘ningat 8 a. m.

Peanut Association | O . 3 rganizing Locals ! e ‘ 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.

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. €66 quickly relieves Censtipa ticn, Biliousness, Headackes, Colds aud Lagrippe. 9 . .

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. ¥ 1 H a Got the Pass Word? ave You Got the Pass Word!

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.
