THE VIDALIA ADVANCE
N. C. Napier, Editor and Publisher
Published Every Wednesday, and entered at the
Postoffice in Vidalia, Ga„ as second-class mail
matter, according to Act of Congress.
Official Organ of the City of Vidalia.
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1921.
NOW FOR A GREATER VIDALIA.
Vidalia’s municipal election, which occurs ev
ery two years to give us a chance of working for
and voting for our favorite fellow citizens for the
different municipal offices, has come and gone, and
while it was hotly contested, we believe there was
practically no bitterness in the contest and that the
election will leave no scars or slow-healing wounds.
We feel that good men have been elected, and
now the thing for us all to do is to accept the result
of the election in good grace and pledge our best
* efforts to the support of the new administration in
the building of a greater Vidalia.
The city, we feel, has made splendid progress
during the past year, and we want to see the next
year as generous in its gifts and as noted for civic
progress as the year just past. We will enter the
new year with sufficient money on hand to do con
siderable paving in the business section of the city,
and we believe this to be the next important under
taking for Vidalia. us not for a moment agree
to anything that will permit for any lengh of time
the contiuance of the old freight depot in the heart
of the city, but insist that this space be cleared out,
and then pave and beautify the business section of
the city. If we will do this we will be building
both wisely and well.
Let every citizen resolve that we are going to
build a city here in Vidalia, and all work together
to this end, coming together as one man on every
question that concerns our development and our
progress toward this goal.

A STATE ROAD BOND ISSUE.
There ought to be a lot of thinking in Georgia
at this time about a great state road bond issue.
A number of other states have adopted the bond
issue plan of road building on a large scale, and so
far as is known none of them have regretted doing
so. Georgia needs roads very badly and the soon
er she gets the mileage she needs, the greater will
be her stride toward permanent prosperity and
toward the future great and rapid development all
good Georgians look forward to.
The idea behind a bond issue is that it would
make available for present use a greater sum than
would be made available by automobile taxation.
If the state ctauld spend annually for roads, and do
so with a view to its road needs, only so much as
would be received from its automobile taxation for
that year, there would be no need for a bond issue;
but the need is greater than could be met for the
next few years by this sum. Georgia could build
a lot of roads and enjoy them and get profit from
them through a bond issue many years before she
could pay for them by the taxes which would fur
nish the funds. It would not be necessary nor ad
visable to issue all the bonds at once. (They could
be issued as the money was needed, with a large
saving in interest charges. And the annually in
creasing amount received from automobile taxa
tion would go far during the term of bonds to re
tire them and pay interest charges too.
Georgia people ought to think about this ques
tion of a great bond issue. This state deserves to
have as good roads as can be found in the United
States.—Savannah Morning News.

SERVING A PURPOSE.
It takes all sorts of people in the life of a com
munity to give perfect balance—the hold r back as
well as the go-ahead. The finest eight-cylinder
Cadillac which moves over the roads as smooth as
velvet at a rate of 80 miles an hour is able to do
so because of the motive power which carries it.
Without this power, it would be as useless as the
little sniff-cart which snorts and puffs at every hill

and at best can make no'mo're than id miles doivn
grade. But the big car would be incomplete with
out its brakes. It might get to going too fast
sometime and there would be an unpleasant cross
between a smooth Cadillac and a scrub cow. The
brake is useful only in emergency, and no car could
get ahead if it were applied all the time.
In the life of every community there are Cad
illac people who pull ahead, and tbe sniff-cart kind
who always have on the brakes. The community
can only forge ahead because the motive power in
some of its people is stronger that the hold-back
power of the others. The man who puts his foot
on the accelerator and says, “Let’s go,” makes mis
takes sometimes, but he does more for his commu
nity than the fellow who puts his foot on the brake
and waits to see if somebody is going to “make a
mesfj of things.” The only fellow who never has
made a mistake in life is the fellow who never has
attempted anything. The community owes more
to the man who tried and failed than to the fellow
who never failed because he never tried. The man
, who pulls off his coat for public enterprise, rolls up
his sleeves and goes to work for something is the
motor which pulls his town somewhere in spite of
the hold-backs. Every car must have a brake and
every town probably needs a hold-back : but no
modern car relies on its brakes to carry it any
where, and no town will ever be carried anywhere
by the fellow who refuses or fails to do his share
of the pulling.—Statesboro News.

COTTON FARMERS TURN TO DAIRYING-
Cotton farmers, because of recurring low prices
and boll weevil damage, are now unwilling and una
ble to depend solely upon cotton as a source of cash.
In their search for an additional, dependable source
of cash, many have turned to farm dairying.
Dairying is 'not likely to make anybody rich
overnight. But milking a few cows will bring in
a cream check twice a month throughout the year.
And the creaifi check may well be made to pay the
family ejyjenses while we are growing, gathering
and selling a crop of cotton.
Many cotton farmers throughout the South are
already showing conclusively that milking a few
cows and selling cream, butter and milk is a very
satisfactory side-line to cotton farming . They have
made money by taking on the extra job of milking
cows. It has given them profitable employment in
the winter season and in mid-summer. It has given
them checks every other week with which to pay
cotton-growing expenses. It has given them a
dependable income, whether cotton prices were
high or low. It has enabled them to pay cash for
supplies, thereby effecting a saving over buying on
credit. It has given them a profitable method for
selling the abundance of forage that their lands
grow so well. It has enabled them to sell much
roughage that otherwise would have gone to waste
on their farms.
But it has given them a supply of manure which
has built up the productive power of their soil, and
this land is now producing cotton at a good profit,
whereas it once could grow cotton only at stava
tion wages. Truly, the milk cow will do this and !
more for other farmers. But to succeed they must '
observe a few simple rules: First, start in a small
way with the best cows you have. Second, in buy
ing new ones get only those that you know will
produce enough to pay a profit. Third, grow an
abundance of feed. Fourth, feed liberally, but not
extravagantly ; study the art of feeding.

The November meeting of the Twelfth District
Tress Association, held at Mcßae Monday, while
disappointing from the number of newspaper men
in attendance, was withal a splendid meeting, and
.every editor present received much benefit from the
discussion of mutual problems. Editors Horton
and'Bowen, of the Telfair Enterprise, were gener
ous hosts and did everything in their power to
make the day a pleasant one. The ranks of the
association were increased by receiving as a mem
ber Editor J. J. Harvard, of Hawkinsville, a, vet
eran in newspaper service and experience, and we
are sure he will prove a tower of strength in the
association. The next meeting will be held on the
third Friday in March, the editors journeying to
Eastman to visit Editor Methvin in his sanctum and
to try to convince him that the association is worth
while to every newspaper man in the district.

WHEN EVERY MOVE HURTS.
. i '
| 1 Lame every morning, achy and stiff
, all day, worse when it’s damp and
chilly? Suspect your kidneys and
try the remedy your neighbors use.
Ask your neighbor.
Mrs. M. A. Carter, 122 Morris St-
Vidalia, says: “I suffered a good
deal from kidney disorder. My back
was very lame and sore and when I
went to stoop over, dust or sweep I
could hardly straighten again. My
back hurt all the time and I would
get sharp, shooting pains fhroujjh
my kidneys. Dizzy headaches often
came over me and black specks
floated before my eyes and blurred
my sight. I heard of Doan’s Kidney
Pills and took just one box and they
relieved me of this trouble. When
I have had occasion to use them
since they have always brought the
same fine results. Doan’s arc a fine
kidney medicine.”
Price 60c at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that

SUFFER PAIN?
Heed Thu* Woaaa’i Advice
Springdale, Ky. “I was in a run
down condition and every month suffered
pain. I had taken treatments for femi
nine trouble, but seemed to get no results
from the treatments. It was through my
daughter-in-law that I heard of Dr.
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription and de
cided I would try it. 1 took a few doses
when at her home in Illinois, and when I
came home l took it regularly. It surely
helped me very much. 1 can say that
'Favorite Prescription’ is a very good
remedy for women in a run-down con
dition or if troubled with feminine troub
le.”—Mrs. Henry Soward, Route 1.
If you have the above-mentioned
symptoms, you should profit by Mrs.
Soward’s advice, and get the “Prescrip
tion” from your druggist at once. To be
had in tablets or liquid; or write Dr.
