I AST WEEK The Times-Rrcorder published one of the most im
portant announcements it has carried in a very long time—THE
OPERATION OF THE GEORGIA HIGHWAY EXPRESS, be
tween Americus and Macon, with two truck trains each way daily.
The announcr menl is of almost equal interest to both Americus mer
chants and to the farmers on this automobile express route.
Ti IF. HIGHWAY EXPRESS places an express office in the front
yaid of every farmer on the express route. It means that no
matter what the farmer may produce, it can be sent into Americus
or to Macon every day, without the necessity of the farmer making
the trip himself. It means a ready cash market for butter and eggs;
for milk and cream: for fresh fruits and berries; for ANYTHING—
for EVERY I KING the farmer ran and will produce—except cot

Taft, Hughes. Hoover and other near advisors within his own party,

was indicated by the tremendous applause his declarations in this
regard brought when his message was delivered Tuesday. He

tween it means a 20 per cent saving over express rates. It means
instant and personal service by men who are interested in the growth
aqd development of the section in which they operate their automo
bile trucks. It means a closer link between the merchant and the
farmer; between the merchant and his jobber.
It creates a greater possible trade territory for every merchant,
for the highway express brings the great rural buying public in close
aAd quicker touch with the merchant. With the telephone and the
highway express, the farmer is no longer an isolated being, many
hours—or days—removed from his center of supplies. It may be
a broken plow; it may be a part for the flivver; no matter what the
farmer needs, he can phone his merchant and his order will be filled
and delivered on the next highway truck.
T°,
1 SOME MEASURE the postal free rural delivery has met this
demand, but there was always a limit to weight and other re
strictions that interfered; nor is there more than one delivery each
day on the rural routes. With the highway express making two trips
each way daily, the merchant and the farmer are almost next door
neighbors.
Out Charlotte, N. C., there are, we are informed, sixteen
highway express routes, all made possible because of the excellent
roads of Mecklenberg county. The same story will eventually be
true of Sumter, of Bibb, and every other county in Georgia, when
our roads are capable of caring for the express trucks and trailers.
‘HE PRESENT ROTUE from Macon to Americus will be extended
to Albany as soon as the Lee county road is in shape to take care
of. the heavy trucks.
There was never a time when the farmer and the merchant
needed this convenience—this necessity—more than today. With our
chief money crop—cotton—reduced in value, something must be
.- done to give the farmer an added income, and the highway express
puts it squarely up to the farmer, for now he can market whatsoever
he cares to produce. Let the wide-awake farmer go into his nearest
city and find our from merchant and jobber what is needed by the
consumer, and then PRODUCE IT.
, This will bring health, prosperity and contentment all around.
k -.
i J l HERE is a man in this town and he is wondrous wise. He knows
how far a dollar will go and how to make it go there. For the
most part he sees to it that none of his go very far from home and
that none ever return without bringing another back with it.
This accumulation of dollars has become large and he „
happy man. He lives alone with his money, asking no other friend-
- and repaying friendship by never spending ont of them need
lessly. Clothes cost him little, he eats sparingly and amuses himself
by contemplating his income.
In the course of a year this wise man buys of our merchants
about the same amount af goods as a certain other citizen whose por-

»T HERE “ 0 f r “‘ deal of difference of opinion today over the first
message of f resident Harding, particularly in legard to his pro-
notmeements on peace, the great world question which is yet unset-
8 tied in this country despite the fact that ihe war ha, been ended two
and n half years However it will be just a. well for all of us who
do not ogree with the President to attempt to see the situation in the
best possible light and to hope that this country .after all. will emerge
honorably from the mystic maze of present international affairs and
relations, with the best interests of itself safeguarded and the peace
at|d tranquility of the whole world stabilized.
CAYS president Harding in the course of his message:
Little avails in reciting the causes of delay in Europe of our own
failure to agree. But there is no longer excuse for uncertainties re
specting foreign relationship. In the existing League of Nations, world-
governing with its superpowers 1 , this Republic will have no part. There
con be no misinterpretation, and there will be no betrayal of the
deliberate expression of the American people in the recent election; and,
settled in our decision for ourselves, it is only fair to say to the world
in general, and to our associates in war in particular, that the League
covenant can h'ive no sanction by us.
The aim to associate nations to prevent war, preserve peace and
promote civilization, our people most cordially applauded. We yearn
ed for this new instrument if justice, but we can have no part in a
committal to an agency of force in unknown contingencies; we can
recognize no super-authority.
Manifestly the highest purpose of the League of Nations was de
feated in linking it with the treaty of peace and making it the en
forcing agency of the victors of the war. International association for
permanent peace must be conceived solely as an instrumentality of
justice, unassociated with the passions of yesterday, and not so con
stituted as to attempt the dual functions of a political instrument of the
conquerors and of an agency for peace. There tan he no prosperity
for the fundamental purposes sought to he achieved by any such as
sociation so long us it is the organ of any particular treaty, or commit
ted to the attainment of the special aims of any nation or group of
nation*.

Not likely! They see that the
granting of the right of free trading
and the restoration of freedom to
the Co-operative Societies, both of
which are essential to the restora
tion of Russias as a whole, will
be the suicide of the Bolshevik gov
ernment.
They see that the already existing
split over this compromise withii\,the
Golshevik ranks will be widened, for
Lenin and Krassin favor this com
promise, while Trotzky, Zinovkv and
the madder fanatics arc against it. •
They realize that external aggres
sion has only served to unite the
warring factions in a common bond
of self defense. They see that the
removal of the barriers shutting Rus
sia from the rest of the world will
result in the full truth of actual con

the South and its racial problem, despite his associations beolw the I attempt was made to compel the
Ma.on and Dixon line. Thi, i. in reference to hi, declaration forl^^^A^!:
federal wiping out of lynching. Say. he:
Somewhat related to the foregoing human problems is the race
question: Congress ought to wipe the slain of barbaric lynching from
the banners of a free and orderly representative democracy. We face
the fact that many millions of people of African ' descent numbered
among our population, and that in a number of states they constitute
a very large proportion of the total population. It is unnecessary to
recount the difficulties incident to this condition, nor to emphasize
the fact that it is a condition which cannot he removed. There lias
been suggested, however, that some of the difficulties might be amelior
ated by a humane nnd enlightened consideration ofc It. a study of its
many aspects, and an effort to formulate, if not a policy, at least a na
tional attitude of mind calculated to bring about the most satisfac
tory possible adjustment of relations between the races, nnd of each
race to the national life. One proposal is the creation of a commission
embracing representatives of both races, to study and report on tho
entire subject. The proposal has real merit. I am convinced that
in mutual tolerance, understanding, charity, recognition of the In
terdependence of the races, nnd the maintenance of the rights of citi
zenship lies the road to righteous ndjustment.

The revolt was suppressed (a*
such revolts always will be) because
it was premature and because the
means of co-crcion, in the form of a
highly-developed and unscruplous
police system, with regiments of for
egin hirelings, are all in the hands of
the government, whiel the one in
Russia is allowed to bear arms un
less he be a professed Bolshevik.
But this outbreak, shortlived
though it was, compelled Lenin to
make a public declaration surren
dering the fundamental nrincipli
the Communist dogma, the right of
freo trading between individuals.
The first principle of Communism
is the suppression of all private en

personal ambtion in business. This Is
the policy which (though it has
never been fully enforced) ha* re
