If we printed all the things
that were told us last week
about various folks, or the week
before that, or in fact in any
week at any season of the year,
the Times-Enterprise would sell
so fast that we would have to
order anew press to bring out
the copies quick enough. The
only thing that troubles us is
the fact that there might not be
but one edition, sagely suggests
.Jerger, in the Thomasville
Times-Enterprise.
After a recent dance held
hereabouts, there was some un
pleasantness, so rumor has it.
There were no VERY serious
casualties. The whole affair
occurred after the dance, and,
very few in attendance knew
anything about it until the next
morning, it is definitely stated.
Of course, the whole affair is
deplored by all right-thinking
people, who trust that visiting
young men who attend future
affairs here will comport them
selves more like gentlemen
than was the case recently, if
reports are to be believed.
It's impossible to really treat
men like they ought to be treat
ed, especially right after they
have done a dirty trick and
come snuggling around as if
they were your best friends and
asking favors. Thomasville

That’s true as gospel. You
can have a whole lot of respect
for a fellow who doesn’t agree
with you and fights you right
out in the open, and even for
the fellow who dislikes you and
does not hesitate to let the fact
be known. But the human eel
who loves you when he’s with
you and does you all the harm
he ca nat other times puts a
mighty hard strain on a fellow’s
faith in human nature.—Alba

Buy the Home Products.
There is a movement on foot in many
towns and sections to get their iocai
people to buy home raised products. If
the people of Cartersville and Bartow
county would insist on the home raised
commodities finjt it would go a long
ways to the solution of our present and
future financial problems.
The Bartow county farmer would
supply the beef, pork and mutton, if
we, the buyers, would only Insist on
the "home-raised" and so it is with
bread stuff and all grocery supplies,
like w'heat. corn, syrup, potatoes and
vegetables.
The neighboring town of Acworth is
building potato houses and a commu
nity syrup mill to preserve and supply
the “home raised" for and to the home
folks. Our splendid county has a mod
ern cheese factory and if you have not
yet had the pleasure of eating Bartow
county cheese, made by the splendid
Five Forks community folks, go to
some live local merchant and ask for
"Bartow County Cheese."
The same tilings might be said of our
manufactured products, it Ladd Lime
snd Stone company make as good road
building material as is to bo found in
the South, let us insist that our own
county and towns buy this material and
that our local farmers buy this lime for
fertilizer purposes, and thus be in bet
ter position to recommend the same to
the world
If our fertilizer factories make as
good products as can be found else
where, then why not huy at home and
keep our people employed and our
money at home. So it is with our new
Oartersville Mills, American Textile
products, and all other products from
farm or factory.
If we will do this, our cotton will be
come our surplus and the money that
is derived from same will stay at home
end not be sent away to buy beef, itork.
hay, mules, flour, meal, produce and
vegattMes, and other products that we
ore raising and can raise at home.
A few days ago a neighboring mer
chant paid an account with a $3W>
check, and In a week's time the same
check returned to him in the payment
of an account to himself, with ten en
dorsements on it, thus showing that it
bad paid tan such accounts, locally, so
it is with our dollars, when kept at
home—they pass from neighbor to
neighbor in balancing accounts and
getting "bogie folks" even with the
world.
Therefore the slogan should be
• Raise and buy at home."
BATTLE OF THE BOOKS
sft. Louis Globe-Democrat.
One viewpoint at the Velsailles Con
ference having been given in great
claboratiog by Mr. Lansing, another is
set forth with like minuteness in the
advance pages of a book soon to be ts-
I sued by Andre Tardleu, one of the lieu
tenants of M. Cleracneeau. The ex
j secretary of state has told of Mr. Wil
son's anxiety for a preliminary peace
treaty and belief that it could have va
! ltdity under the executive war powers,
and had described Mr. Wilson's surprise
| on eiarnlng that all treaties must have
; senate ratification. M. Tardleu pre
-ents a different version, declaring that
! the desire of the president caused the
; abandonment of the preliminary treaty
project.
This might not be inconsistent with
the Lansing version, assuming that the
request for abandonment came after
the necessity for ratification was learn
! <d, but M. Tardieu adds that Mr. Wil
son's desire at all times was to have
all decisions reached submitted In one
i treaty t olhe senate, which theory is in
I accord with a belief generally enter
tained. It was an insistence on en

icism in this country, lfow a compar

rately, if amusingly in the Tadieu nar
rative. In France, he says It was held
that Clemeticeau was duptd by Wilson
and Lloyd George; In the United States
that Wilson was duped by Clemenceau
and Lloyd George; in England, that
Lloyd George George was dui>ed by Cle
menceau, single-handedly, but com
pletely.
We may imagine that the barrage of
volumes In the new war over the war
ha already reached an appalling Inten
sity, but, as a matter of fact, it has
only just begun. "Excuse me," re
marked Mr. Tumulty, when asked to
comment on the Lansing volume, “but
I'm writing a book myself '’ When it
was suggested to ex-Ambassador Mor
ganth.au that his views on some of
Lansing’s statements would have profit
for the public, he showed instance re
serve. "I will have something to say in
a book I am now writing," he explained.
The Japanese foreign office officially
announces that it has in preparation a
volume dealing with Lansing versions
and interpretations. That Mr. Wilson
has collected the materials for a
weighty volume which he is already
engaged in putting in shape for the
press is the universal supposition. And
Mr. Lansing's work was by no means

Money in Banks.
(Home News.)
Before he became a bank president,
Wilson M. Hardy was a newspaper
man. His hanking experience lias nob
caused him to forget that advertising
of the proper sort is u good remedy for
almost any business ailment. So when
he attended the state bankers’ conven
tion in Macon recently he proposed an
advert sing campaign by the banks for
the purpose of stimulating dope .its.
His proposal was presented in such a
convincing way that it was immedi
ately adopted and he was made chair
man of a committee to "put it over.”
Fifty thousand dollars will be spent
by the banks of Georgia, under this
plan, in a campaign of publicity that is
expected to draw from private vaults,
socks, hearth bricks and other hiding
places thousands of dollars that have
never been deposited in banks.
The need for a campaign of this na
ture is shown by a sunftnary of a re
port to congress by the comptroller of
the currency, in which the amount of
money held by people in their pock ts
tills, cash drawers, safe deposit boxes,
private vaults, stockings, etc., and cur.
rency circulating in Cuba and other
foreign countries is placed at three bil
lion. three hundred, forty-four million
dollars. That is considerably more than
half the total amount of money in cir
culation in the United States.
The idea of the advertising cam
paign is to build up a better knowledge
of banking met hods and a greater de
gree of confidence in hanks. When
every person in possession of money
realises and understands the simple
business principles of hanking and the
security that is given their money by
depositing it in a bank, much of the.
coin and currency now virtually in hid
ing will be put back into circulation. It
is probable that Georgias' proportion of
hidden money is equal to the per cap
ita of any other state. If all ihe money
in circulation in Georgia were on de
posit it is not unlikely that the bank
deposits would be doubled.
Doubling the deposits of the banks
would mean that double amount of
money would be available for commer
cial, industrial and agricultural uses.
Nobody would have any less money,
but everybody would have more. Banks
would be glad to pay interest on time
deposits in order to have the money
for use at a small margin of profit.
This would earn something for those
who are now hiding their money, but
would at the same time enable those
who need additional capital in their
business to secure it on safe collateral.
Putting money in the bank serves a
double purpose. It provides safety and
at the same time speeds up business.

THE MOONSHINE PERIL
If You Have Brains
Read This; If Not, Don’t.
(Atlanta Georgian.)
This editorial, made up largely of
most illuminating and interesting ex
cerpts from an article in the Birming-
I ham Age-Herald, is addressed to men
i with brains in their heads.
If you have no brains, don't read this
i editorial; if you have brains, it may
[ pay you to read It—lt may, indeed, be
j the means of saving your life.
It •concerns itself with so-called
“whisky" peddled, in one way and an
| other, throughout this portion of the
: nation—throughout the entire nation,
for that matter.
The Georgian does not propose to
moralize here or appeal particularly to
j that sense of decency which should
j prompt all men to/espect the law; but
| the attention of the reader Is invited to
this article, as a matter of plain, com
; mon sense.
There have been recently a startling
number of deaths in Hirrningham from
flrinking so-called “whisky”—and the
"whisky" there at fault has not been
exclusively the ordinary brand of vile
and dangerous "boot-leg." such as one
buys from a bellboy or a street corner
loafer, but the quality called “high
class’’ and supposed to be “the real
stuff." That same sort of "whisky” is
being sold in Atlanta and at other
points in Georgia, Just as it is in Bir
mingham—at fancy prices to ‘‘swell”
trade.
Now. then, if, as we say in the be
ginning, you have brains in your head,
read this article by Ed Barrett, in the
Birmingham Age-Herald. Mr. Barrett
is one of the best known journalists in
the South, a very level-headed, com
mon-sense individual. He used to live
in Atlanta and has relatives and friends
both here and in Augusta.
The Georgian doesn't suppose there
Is a higher class citizen in the entire
South than “Ed" Barrett.
Here is what Air. Barrett says:
"The Age-Herald has printed several
illuminating local stories during the
past week on poisoned whisky and its
fatal effects right here in Birmingham.
The knowledge derived from reading
of the same will doubtless make water
wagon riders of many of the old-timers.
"Several weeks ago, personal obser
vation on the part of the writer made
one of him, Not that he objects to a
good whisky toddy, or a mint julep, or
a Scotch and soda, at proper intervals,
or on festive occasions, or at a dinner
party where real good wine makes for
merriment and zest, and wit and hu
mor. But the man who would occa
sionally serve sucli must partake of
that of his friends when they are en
tertaining; and when he does he takes
; ihe chances of a quick death from
. drinking something “brought in" by his
friend's friend. Your friend thinks he
knows it’s good from the way it beaded
in the bottle when shaken up. He was
not aware that an addition of lye made
it bead, and the chemists say that lye
quickly destroys the tissue of the inner
man.
"It was not many months ago that a
slag dinner was held at the home of a
Birmingham citizen. Several partici
pants are said to have brought bottles
os a contribution, for it was more or
less of a business dinner on a matter
of import to Birmingham One citizen
is said to have duhlvd His contribution
TNT. it was concocted and had the
same effect upon the "swal’ow" of man
that lightning lias upon the bark of an
'old and stately oak. One pronounced
the kick extremely effcc.,ve and took a
'second portion. Within three days
] thereafter the funeral was very largely
attended. His interior had been burned
out.
“Only very recently a splendid gen
tleman of Birmingham, observing the
writer, who was in his place of busi
ness, was somewhat faint from over
exertion, asked him to have a drink of
very fine old bottled-in-bond whisky,
which he had just bought from a man
who had brought it up from Savannah.
He had not opened it. •
The offer being declined, the whisky
was not opened until the following aft
ernoon. Within a half-hour after im-
A ibing the same business man was
taken home. The best physicians were
balled. They attempted to bleed him.
but the blood would not flow. He died
in convulsions after leaving verbal
warning to his friends not to take any
one’s word as to what was whisky.
"Avery prominent manufacturer of
Birmingham had a bottle of supposedly
bottled-in-bond at his home recently
when a number of ladies and gentlemen
were present. Fruit punches were
made of it—very brief, because of the
long division. Within the hour it be
came a very puny party. Everyone
looked extremely uncomfortable and
made various excuses for leaving early.
The host had patronized a gentleman
who brought in some Savannah whisky
to distribute among his friends. Had
there been two bottles instead of one,
several deaths might have been done
among the jolly guests.
"Yesterday's Age-Herald told of an
anlysis of whisky which killed a strap
ping big man and a good citizen of
Birmingham whom everybody liked,
and who for twenty years the writer
has known as a jolly good fellow, as
honest and conscientious as men are
made. He is said not to have taken a
drink in four years. An old friend from
North Alabama walked into his office
with a bottle of moonshine which he
had gotten the previous day 'from a
man who knew how to make it.' The
Birmingham took two drinks of it. A
friend took one drink. The friend got
out of bed two days ago, The Birming
ham citizen had convulsions the day
the beverage came and was buried
three days theriaf'er. An Age-Herald
reporter who was an old-time friend of
the dead man got the remnants of the
bottle from his business partner and
had It analyzed by an expert chemist,
the Age-Herald paying for the quali
tative and quantitative analysis. In it
was found 27 per cent of deodorized
wood alcohol—a deadly poison—and
God knows what other poison will be
shown when the analysis is completed.
"Home of the soldier boys recently on
strike duty in Walker county bought a
half-gallon of moonshine and brought
it Into camp Fortunately the captain
spied them bringing in the jug He or
dered it to ti’s quarters and gave the
boys a practical talk, telling them It
probably had lye In it and was a deadly
poison. To prove it he had the boys
catch a stray mongrel dog which had
been prowling about the camp for sev
eral days. A teaspoonful was poured
on the dog's tongue and his head held
up so he must swallow it In fifteen
, minutes the dog was dead.
"Even the Jacksonville or the Mobile
stuff, or the Warrior river brew, or the
Great Oak Mountain moonshine may’
be doubled in volume by the addition
of deodorized wood alcohol before it
gets to the consumer.
Outlaw print shops are said to be
turning out counterfeit government la
bels which are smeared with dirt and
water to put age upon them. Old bot
tles with labels are used So no one
knows what he is getting."
The foregoing is a genuinely impor
tant utterance.
It ought to bring home to citizens,
rich and poor—high and low, as the
case may be—the grave physical dan
' Her they challenge every time they
I take a drink of outlaw “Whisky," no
matter where it comes from, no mat
ter how seemingly perfect the "guar
antee” behind it, no matter who has it.
j Setting aside the moral point in
volved, in so far as it may be involved;
setting aside the question of the duty
of citizens to obey the law, whether he
j approves it or no—just the plain iso
lated danger and menace of the "whis
ky" of this day and time is so grave,
so positive and so actual'that no man,
with even a fraction of brains in his
head, can afford to ignore it.
| That is all.
i But the Georgian suggests that you
ihink It over.
Advertising
(By Dr. Frank Crane.)
Advertising is the greatest business
in the world. That is not because it
enables business people to sell more
goods, not because it is a way to make
great profits. Nothing can be really
great for any purely dollars-and-cents
reason.
It is because, in advertising, business
becomes vocal. When, in the course of
evolution, the animal acquired speech
and became able to utter himself, he
had made the longest stride in develop
ment. He had stepped from brute to
man.
The human soul dates back to the
first word, "in the beginning was the
Word."
Advertisement is the utterance of hu
man energy. Craftsmanship is good,
and industry, and organization, and
business ability; but they are dumb
giants until they find speech—dumb
and dangerous.
Business, in eluding manufacturing,
farming, transportation, and selling, is
to the new world what fighting was to
the old The old world organized only
to kill, and its genius was displayed by
great generals. Its heroes were the
mighty killers. To them it set up its
statues.
The new world, typified by, led by
\ America, is organized to serve, to make
human life richer, deeper, stronger,
more complex and heterogeneous.
And business is simply service. Busi
ness comes to itself, attains maturity
and full self-expression only through
advertising.
Advertising is the breath of life
breathed into the nostrils of business,
by which it becomes a living soul.
Thus advertising not only enlarges
business; it radically changes the na
ture of business.
By it business passes from bureau-
cracy and autocracy into democracy. It
takes the whole people into its growth,
it enters tiie veins of the common
wealth. It becomes a function of com
munal life.
i Without advertising comes decay
and death.
Nations need advertising. If they
would advertise they would prevent
war. War is the self-expression of
dumb'-brute force. Advertising is the
self-expression of intslligent strength
that knows how to speak.
It is the something plus in advertis
ing that is significant. It is this some
thing plus that makes advertising to
business what art is to handiwork,
what music is to feeling, what language
is to the soul.

What Are You Getting
Out of Life ?
Who gets the most out of fife? The
rich man? No; not at ail. The poor
man? No; not at all. The man who
is in moderate circumstances? No; not
at all.
This particular test has no relation
Whatever to mere wealth, or the ab
sence of it. It goes much deeper and
reaches much higher. That man gets
the most out of life who puts the most
into it. For life is an affair of invest
ment, and the thing invested is not
dollars so much as personality; and
that personality to yield a good divi- j
dend on the investment, must be em
ployed in terms of service
There are thousauds of people who I
have no money—or very little—to spend
in doing good; at least that is what
they say. But the fact ig that about
everybody could find some money for
that sort of investment if he were to
make diligent search among his pos
sessions. All right; If you hove no
; money to invest in that way, why not
make investment of other things that
sre more useful than money? There
are chances for fine service everywhere.
You must not be indifferent to them.
Everyone must do what he can for the
benefit of ail. No man has a right to
fold his arms and look on while others
] sweat with the toll of sacrifice.
BANK CATECHISM
(Published by Courtesy of The Atlanta
Constitution.)
Q Why did the federal reserve act
change the method of issuing money?
A. Prior to the passage of this act
there were, generally speaking, two
kinds of paper money in circulation
notes issued by the treasury of the
United States secured by the deposit of
gold and silver and known as gold cer
-1 tlficates, and notes issued by national
banks secured by certain United States
government bonds. These forms of
currency were not sufficiently elastic
and were incapable of expansion and
contraction to meet the flucutating de
mands of business, partly because the
amount of notes that could be issued
by national banks was limited by the
amount of the capital of the banks, and
only certain United States government
bonds had circulation privileges, and
partly because of the element of profit
or loss entering into the Issue of bank
notes.
Q- How did the element of profit
enter into the issuance of bank notes?
A. A national bank could issue notes
only by the deposit of an equal amount
of United States government bonds
with the treasury department in Wash,
ington. For instance, a bank desiring
to issue SIOO,OOO bank notes would pur
chase SIOO,OOO United States govern
ment bonds, which might cost it, say,
$105,000, as such bonds usually sold at
a premium. It would deposit these
bonds in Washington and receive SIOO,-
000 in bank notes with the bank’s name
engraved thereon, and it would have
back SIOO,OOO of the $105,000 it paid for
the bonds. These bonds usually carried
2 per cent Interest, which the bank
would receive, or $2,000 per annum,
against which it would have invested
only $5,000.
On the other hand, It must get back
out of the interest R received the $5,000
premium it had paid on the bonds; it
must keep a redemption deposit with
the treasury department in Washing
ton equal to 5 per cent of the notes out
standing; it must pay a circulation tax
on tlie amount of notes outstanding,
and it was obliged to pay part of the
expense of operating the redemption
bureau in Washington. If money were
in demand and interest rates were high
and the bank did not pay too much
premium for the bonds it purchased,
then the issue of bank notes was profit
able. But if three were not much de
mand for money, the bank notes would
be idle in the bank vaults, or if the
notes were retired the bank would have
its money invested in government
bonds paying only 2 per cent, or pos
sibly sustain a loss if the bonds were
sold.
As the price of government bonds
was a material factor in the determina
tion of the profit in issuing bank notes,
and as the price of bonds would often
decline when business was slack and
currency plentiful and be high when
business was active and currency in
demand, it frequently produced an in
verse elasticity at the times when busi
ness needed an increase of currency.
Q How did the federal reserve act
ehange the issue of currency?
A. In addition to the gold and silver
certificates, federal reserve notes can
not be issued secured by 40 per cent in
gold and 60 per cent in agricultural,
industrial and commercial notes, drafts,
bills of exchange or acceptances. These
notes can also be secured by 100 per
cent in gold.
Q. Why is this an improvement over
the old method of issuing bank notes?
A. It provides greater elasticity and
facilitates the transaction of business
when there is a heavy call for money
and. as the demand for money to move
crops, etc., eases off and the crops are
paid for the amount of federal reserve
notes outstanding is automatically re
duced. In the past, the expansion in
tank notes was not only governed by
the element of profit, but was also lim
ited by {he amount of capital stock erf
the national banks and government
bonds having circulation privileges, anfi
if money was needed beyond that point
it was not available —with resultant
failures and panics.
Under the federal reserve act, paper
arising out of business transactions,
subject to certain restrictions making
it eligible, can be taken by a member
bank and be exchanged for federal re
serve notes. The federal reserve bank
in return pledges 60 per cent of such
paper, together with 40 per cent of gold
with the United States government as
collateral for the federal reserve notes,
which are issued for the full amount,
or notes may be issued for the full
amount as long as a 40 per cent gold
reserve is maintained.

anew low point for the season. New
York May futures down 107 points, at
11 46c.
GRAIN.
Apprehension of damage to growing
crop by freezing weather caused a tem
porary price upturn the first of t.he
week, but prices began to drop on the
30th, due to liquidation of coarse grains
for country account. The decline con
tinued until the 2nd, when active export
demand caused prices to rally, an ad
vance that continued throughout the
4th. Visible supply wheat decreased
2,298,000 bushels for week; visible sup
ply corn increased 822,000 bushels. In

demand caused markets to rule lower.
Reports in middle western markets
continue light, but as buyers were few,
quotations held only firm. In view of
relatively lower price of oats receivers
are urging shippers to take advantage
of present prices. Stock yarchs, Chi

danger to health.
An ordinance was introduced in Phil,
adelphia—and almost passed—to pro
hibit bathing between November and
March. Boston made bathing unlawful
except on medical advice. Virginia im
posed a tax on bathtub owners of S3O
a year. Yet everybody knows now that
having a bathtub in the house is a first
rate idea. Bathing was probably even
more needed then, but people resented
bathtubs because they were new. Many
new ideas are made commercially suc
cessful, but usually there arc difficul
ties. The public resents a novelty.
