The whole counliy is experiencing
one of the greatest economic storms
we have seen in many yeats. Os
course this does not enlighten anyone
very much. We all feel th< depres
sion much more than anyone can
describe. Things could he much
worse than they are now, even tho
you mat he inclined to doing thi>
statement. If we had faileel to make
any crops such as corn, peanuts, po
tatoes. beans and plenty of meat we
should he in a fix sure enough. There
are many sections of the country not
far distant where the people are ac
tually in need of food and are suf
fering for lack of winter clothing.
We should he thankful, therefore,
that conditions are no worse than
they are. We must not forget that
"the sun still shines and God is as
great and gracious as ever.”
Not much can he done at present
to give much immediate relief to the
farmers of Toombs county. We can,
however, map cut a program for next
year that will gradually relieve the
situation and make us all feel once
more that we have not entirely fail
ed. Too much talk about the reduc
tion of cotton acreage is not what
we need. Cotton is our money crop
and will continue to he until we are ‘
better able to work out a system of j
farming that will gradually change j
the situation or conditions. We can 1
not establish markets for so many'
things just by the snap of your fin- J
ger. Time, co-operation and many
other things are required to develop
this kind of thing. The great task !
for us next year in every line of
farming is the production of crops as
economically as possible. We must j
grow a good crop of cotton next
year, hut we must r cow it as cheap-l
ly as it can possibly he done. To do!
this we must supply ourselves with !
the best cotton see,d available, plant
on the best land, work rapidly and
fertilize intelligently. One's ability
to produce a good cotton crop and
produce it cheaply will mean one's |
ability to make money another year.
All available knowledge, both scion-j
tiiic and practical, relating to cotton
nroduction must be brought into use.'
Planning For 1921
There are other things that should
come into our program for 1921. A;
home orchard on every farm, pro |
ducing enough fruit to can enough '
for winter use besides enough for |
summer consumption. A good milk'
cow that will produce enough milk
and butter for eveiy family is abso
lutely necessary to us all. A potato
crop that will fill the home needs. |
furnish some for the hogs and enough ;
to supply the potato houses already \
erected. Peanuts sufficient to mar-!
ket several tons, but planted so that j
it will be practicable to harvest them
with hogs should the market be low.
Plenty of poultry for home use and
enough to produce eggs for the mar
ket the year round. There never
was a time when eggs would not sell
for a good price. These and various
other things we need to do and must
do are about as sane and sensible as
they could be made, wc believe. If
they are not logical we would vvel
Notice to the Public
Owing to close prices on which
our goods are sold, beginning Jan.
Ist, 1921, we will do a strictly cash

, come any suggestion you may see fit
i’ make. We have absolutely got to
make’the farm self-sustaining. Any
farm that is otherwise will not make
any profit out of anything.
These statements are not of care
less thought, but come from the con
jviit'ons of one who feels the burden
I that rests on the farmers just as
I much as any man in Toombs coun
ity. Wc must not expect to much
'from the government. We can only
get relief from efforts of our own.
We must work out our own salva-
Iti-m. It will take co-operation and
; hard work to realize these things, hut
I they can he done with your assist
jancc. We must forget our preju
j dices and learn to work with our
j neighbors the county over. Co-ope
atiou, united effort, will put the thing
oyer. It is up to us. Let’s fight it
1 out for ourselves.
From State Club Agent
We recently received the following
j letter from otir State Club Agent:
"Through your efforts largely the
hoys of your county were awarded
a county prize at one of the large
fairs this Fall. While this prize is
not as large as we would like to see
it, yet it is large enough to cause you
to fee! that your efforts in club work
are appreciated.
“We wish to congratulate and to
thank you at the same time for your
interest in the hoys of your county
and to pledge ourselves to assist you
in every way possible in carrying out
your club program for 1921.
"Your success this year brands you
in my estimation as one who tackles
his hardest job first and puts it over
in good shape, because, fundamen
tally, it means more to the county.
You are not following the line of
least resistance, anil we are proud of
you.”—J. K. (files. Director.
Personally, I am proud of Toombs
county, more for the fact that her
club hoys are always State winners
than for any other success or rca
on we know of. The only regret
we have is that there art- not more
such boys in Toombs county.
We have arranged with Bargeron
Drug Co. to furnish bi-surpntde to
farmers for killing corn weevils at
cost. This is a great favor the firm
is doing for the farmers of Toombs
county. Every farmer who lias a
crib of corn should get some of this
material and fumigate his barn, for
the corn weevils do great damage to
stored corn. The writer will be glad
to assist anyone wanting to treat bis
corn for the weevils.

Facts of Vital Interest to
Everybody in Georgia
Socialistic Scheme Worthy
of Lenine And Trotsky
The Municipal League of Georgia is
ostensibly an organization of towns
and cities in Georgia. In reality the
league consists of Marion M. Jackson,
James L. Key and John J. Eagan of
Atlanta. About one hundred munici
palities have been induced to lend
their names to the organization with
out investigating the aims of its domi
nating spirit, or v/here the League
originated.
In one of the bulletins of the Muni
cipal League the following statement
appears:
“The League has no connection
with any organization outside of
Georgia.”
From “Public Ownership,” the of
rial bulletin of the Public Ownership
League of America, for August, 1919,
is copied the following:
“Atlanta and Georgia Organizing:
“A letter just received from Marion M.
Jackson, says:—'We are now in the midst
of our fight here, both locally and for the
State. It is our purpose to organize both
in the city of Atlanta and the State, a
non-partisan public ownership League.
We would be delighted to receive from you
any details and suggest ions. Our fight hag
just begun and we are going to ne- d every
force to bring it to a successful conclu
sion.*
‘Mr. Jackson, and Mr. John Eagan, as
well as Hon. James L. Key. the mayor of
the city of Atlanta, are all members of
the Public Ownership League.*’
Who Carl D. Thompson Is
The Public Ownership League of
America is a socialistic organization
of Chicago, Illinois, headed by Carl D.
Thompson, Secretary, who was at one
time Secretary to Victor Berger, So
cialistic Mayor of Milwaukee.
In the programme of a meeting,
commencing November 15th, 1919, of
the Public Ownership League of
America, at Chicago, Mr. Marion M.
Jackson is listed as one of the sp-ak
ers.
The Municipal League of Georgia
advocates and stands f~>r the funda
mental theory of Socialism—Govern
ment Ownership—The secretary of
the parent organization, the Public
Ownership League of America, in its
meeting at Chicago, Illinois, November
15th, 1919, declared the features of
the work for 1920 should be for the
retention and ultimate public owner
ship of railroads; the nationalization
of coal mines; continuous efforts to
have telephones and telegraphs a part
of the Postal System; continued pres
sure of the effort to promote munici
pal ownership of all utilities.
A Trick To Make Socialists
The plan is to first fool the veoole
into voting for national, state or mu
nicipal ownership of these important
factors in the economic life of the na
tion, and then to change hanking and
manufacturing to public ownership,
and the Socialist Party would then
announce itself.
This process of camouflaging the
real motive behind the effort is evi
dently chosen because the socialists
well knew that their sophistries "and
generalities would not find among the
people of Georgia enough disordered
brains to form the nucleus for an es- j
fective political machine but with the j
cunning of their kind they have |
branded their effort the Municipal
league of Georgia and committed its
activities to Messrs. Key, Jackson and
Eagan.
Lenine and Trotsky learned their
lesson from the same school.

Our journey pursue
RoQ round with the year,
And never stand still dll the Master appear'
His adorable will
Let us gladly fulfill.
And our talents improve
By the patience of hope, and the labor of lore.
Our life is a dream;
Our time, as a stream,
Glides swiftly away,
And the fugitive moment refuses to stay:
The arrow is liown,
The moment is gone;
The millennial year
Rashes oa to our view, and eternity’s near.

Os His coming, may say,
"1 have fought my way through;
I have finished the work Thou didst give me to do."

May receive the glad word, \

BEGINNING A NEW YEAR.
Though we are apt to think that
New Year’s has been observed since
tire year one, such is not the case,
in fact, there Is no mention of the
day as a Christian festival until the
fifth century, ami even now the He
brews celebrate their New Year’s lu
September, for tDeir calendar ts ar
ranged according to the new moon,
which makes New Year’s a moveable
holiday. Today, however, there is
scarcely a nation hut observes this
season of tire year in some manner
or other, though customs differ In
most localities.
