Industrial backwardness in the South’s
problem. It was a problem in Grady's
day. It is a problem now.
Where nnd whnt is the solution?
It in not fur to seek. Turn lignin to
tlmt little shock-headed boy buying pen
mitn, to hundreds of other boys the State
over. Home products, one nnd nil. In
them lies the solution of the South’s
problem,
They are raw materials of the very
highest quality. Give them the proper
training, tench them how to use their
bruins ns well ns their blinds, nnd you
will produce in them producers who will
seine the industrial opportunities nil
nliout theta and convert them into prog
ross nnd prosperity.
Importing industrial lenders trained
in other parts of the country will not
do it. That plan has been proved
failure. They do. not know the South,
they do not love the South, they cannot
meet the lnbor conditions, cliinnticnl
conditions nnd industrial conditions gen
orally nn the boy who is Southern born
nnd Southern rnlscd.
In her own boy lies the hope of the
industrial South. In giving them nde
quote technical training lies the fulfill
ment of tlmt hope. Only when Georgia
and other Stntes have technical institu
tions so equipped and so financed that
they can graduate technically trained
lenders numerous enough to till the
8rent, need for them In industry—a need
now going unmet—and seize thu oppor
tunities the South niTords, opportunities
now going to waste, will industrinl Geor
gia anil the industrinl Smith come into
tholr own.

DEBS.
Dr. Frank Crane.
Tliere is u good deal of nonsense and
hysteria going on ns to the cuse of Debs
mid hi* imprisonment.
It is claimed lie is Oipolltlrnl prisoner.
He is not. There is no nucli tiling in the
United States.
liebs is in prison for the rnme reason
his fellow convicts arc in prison—fur
breaking the law.
He is not there on account of Ids opin
ions. He is there for whnt lie did.
Twelve men, carefully chosen, found
him guilty, after a fair trial, in which
he had every opportunity to defeud him
self.
At the close of Ids trial he said: "I
haven’t one word of complaint either
against the verdict or the trial. The
evidence wan truthful, it was fairly pre
sented by the prosecution, the jury was
patient und attentive and tlie judge’s
charge wad masterly nud scrupulously
fair, ’ ’
He said he went to prison for nn ideal,
luilge Wostonhaver, in sentencing him,
said: "I do.not. regard the idealism of
the defendant as expressed by himself
ns any higher, any purer, or any nobler
than the idealism of the thousands of
young men 1 have seen marching down
the streets of Cleveland to defend tlie
laws of their country and the ling. Any
one who strikes the sword from the
hands of those young men, nr causes an
other young inaii to refuse to do his duty
when called to serve by their side, or
anyone who obstructs the recruiting ser
vice, does just as much injury to our
country as if lie ivy re in the rnnks of
tlie German army us a soldier.”
Debs’ case was appealed to the t\ S.
Supreme Court. There Judge Holmes
pointed out thut Debs was not sentenced
‘ 1 because he was oppused to all wars in
general, lint because ho obstructed re
cruiting service in this war.-”
This being contrary to law, lie was n
lawbreaker, und it was for Hint, and
not for any belief, that he is now in the
penitentiary.
Delis is not a relict against any tyrnnt,
such as king, r/.nr, or kaiser. He is a
rebel aguinst the will of the majority of
his fellow-citizens.
A mHii has a perfect right to nay opin
ion, howevor peculiar. That is essential
to democracy.
But it is no loss essential to democracy
that after we have nil expressed our sev
eral opinions tlmt the majority shall rule.
- The foundation of tills republic is not
Liberty. It is Law, which lies deeper
than'.Liberty, for without it no liberty
is possible
THE COST OF CHEAP FOOD.
Progressive Farmer.
Society has always, determined the con
ditions under which it will lie fed. Far
mers thus far have had very little to say
regarding the terms under which
they would discharge jthat duty.
Society demands cheap food, uud,
in so far iis it may be pro
vided without imposing burdens upon
the farmers, tlie demand is h reasonable
one. However, cheap food purchased
with the manhood and woinuuhood of
the rural communities is dearly bought
and very destructive to the best inter
ests of our country. If we continue to
satisfy the demands of society for cheap
food without regard to its effect upon
the formers, we will repeat the mistake
of nearly every civilization thut has pre
ceded us, and will in the end reduce the
American farmer to the level of a peas
ant. We should consider the welfare
of the farmers as well ns the welfare
of the consumers. We must develop bet
ter systems of distributing and market
ing farm products, and we must foster
co-operation in the selling of farm pro
ducts. In other words, we must insure
to the farmer a profit that will equal
ize the opportunities of tlie country and
town and thereby hold on the furm a
fair share of tlie boys und girls raised
there.
The secret of being miserable is to
hnvc leisure to bother nliout whether you
ure Imppy or not. The cure for it is
occupation, liecuuse occupation means
preoccupation, and tlie preoccupied per
son is . neither happy or unhappy, but
simply alive ami-active, which is pleas
anter than any happiness, until you are
tired of it . That is why it is necessary
to happiness that one should be tired.
Music after dinner is pleaBunt; music
la-fore breakfast is so unpleasant as to
be unnatural. To people who ure not
overworked, holidays are u nuisance.
To people who are, and who can afford
them, they are a wholesome necessity.
A perpetual holiday is a good working
definition of hell.—George Bernard
Shnw.

MILLIONS AND BILLIONS.
Moultrie Observer.
Computations by the Internal Revenue
Department place the Rockefeller for
tone nt eight hundred milliom or u liil
lion dollars. This is the nearest np-
l ir «m'li to n correct estimate of the
world's greatest fortune tlmt has ever
Ih-oh made. It is no! press-ageuted stuff,
tint colli figures dug up by Uncle Sam’s
revenue hounds. Tills estimate was made
on the fortune of tlie Rockefeller fortune
in 1917. It limy be more or less today.
It is exclusive of approximately half a
billion dollars which the oil umgnnte Ims
given to philanthropy nnd varied bene
factions. All told, it tins I icon nn necu-
mutation of considerably more Hum n
billion tlolliiY-e.
The Rockefeller fortune probuldy
stnuds out ns the world's greatest no-
quisttion of money by liny individual in
business. There was a time when n great
deal was said nliout the methods of the
Standard Gil Company in tin- early days
of its history. Husiness back iii those
lavs was conducted on n different basis!
from what it is today. It was regulated
by looser scruples nail more lax legisla
tion than we have amv. It may be ad
mitted that tlie Rockefeller fortune be
gan with the common business practices
of tlie day tlmt would now lie frowned
upon, lint on tlie whole the wealth Ims
been ni-eumulntod without bringing nny
especial discredit upon John D. Rocke
feller himself, who Ims always been more
or less religious, temperate, and moral.
It was uncle with us much fairness ns
can be claimed for nny of tlie great for
tunes.
It is fortunate for the world tlmt the
greatest individual or family fortune is
tieing turned to world lienofiu-tinns. Un
like rich men of former generations, Mr.
Rockefeller Ims had no desire to hold
the fortune in tact, nr use it to estate
list 1 n family name and family influence.
He tins given away already practically
Imll of Ms lifetime ncsumulntions. Tlie
rest will go to his son. who seems to
have no other purpose in life than to use
the wealth created by his father in mak
ing tlie world a Is'tter place to live in.
nnd in alleviating suffering and stamping
out vice, disease and ignorance.
Just now the Government is getting a
nice income from tlie Rockefeller for
tune. It is turning millions into the
common treasury in the form of income
tax. The Rockefeller benefactions cover
utmost tlie face of the earth.
The greatest financier- of all time lived
at a time when the opportunity was most
favorable to create an enormous fortune.
It was Ms let to live in a country- of
groat fortunes, lie lived to see tlie time
when the world was in need of philan
th ropy ns it never was lie fore. As the
doer Ilf opportunity for money-making
o|tonod to him. so has the opport'unitv for
human benefactions! And lie has been
given length of years—long years—in
which to accumulate, and a ripe old age
in which to see rirh fruits from his lib-
oral giving. A remarkable fortune,
remarkable distribution—a remarkable
life.

fifth land district of Coweta county,
One of the world's greatest scien
tists says that more than 90% of all
human Ills can bo traced directly or
Indirectly to constipation. How many
sufferers realize this?
Most of them continually dose them
selves with so-called laxative pills,,
calomel, oil, purges-and cathar
tics and force bowel action. To
do that Is a mistake. It weak
ens the bowels and ltver ana
makes constant dosing neces
sary.
Why don’t you begin - right to
day to overcome your constipation
and get your system in such shape
that constant drugging will be un
necessary? You can do so If you get
a 25c box of Nature’s Remedy (NR
Tablets) and take one each night for
a week or so. •
NR Tablets do much more than
merely cause pleasant, easy bowel ac
tion. This medicine acts .upon the
digestive as well as eliminative or
gans—promotes good digestion, oausu
the body to get the nourishment from
all the food you eat, gives you a good
hearty appetite, strengthens the liver,
overcomes biliousness, regulates kid
ney and bowel action and gives the
whole body a thorough cleaning
out
And NR does this without t
sign of griping, patn or un
pleasantness. It works gently,
but promptly and thoroughly.
In a few days you notice the
real result You begin to feel
that you are living again, with ne*
strength, new energy, vim and pep
and ginger. You soon find your
bowels acting regularly without help.
Try Nature’s Remedy (NR Tablets)
and prove this. It is the best bowel
medicine that you can use and cosfi
only 25c per box, containing enough
to last twenty-five days. Nature'i
Remedy (NR Tablets) Is sold, guar
anteed and recommended by your
druggist. .
