The Hardwick Administration. When tho Oenoral Assembly convened -on Wednesday of lOBt week It bogan whet rany prove to bo a memorable session;— it oortninly will bo if Gov. Hardwick fulfills tho plodgCB looking to retrench ment mid reform in the administration of tho State's affaire which ho made dur ing his campaign and sinco his election. Of course, this will bo possible only if the law-making body is found to bo in harmony with ids frequently expressed views regarding tho character of login lotion which lie will demand at tho hands of tho nnehmblcd salons. Confronted with the problem of providing funds •with which to cover n big deficit in the Pluto's finances, duo to appropriations made by tho l.egislaluro in 1DJS) and 1920 in excess of the Slate’s revenues for those yonrs, tho undertaking which ho Iihh assumed will not. bo ousy of accom plishment. Tho deficiency, which must bo tnkou earn of somehow, nmounts to two and n half or throe million dollnrn, and Includes ponBion money duo ono-half of tho old clnss of pensioners for 1921, be- sldeB ponsloiiB to tho now elnBS of pen sionors for 1920 and 1921, nono of whom linvo boon paid anything. Other of tho ‘Stnto’s obligations nro past, duo and un pnld, making a total deficit of approx! niatoly throe million dollars. On top of this, domptrollor-Gonornl Wright OBti- inntos that tho Stato's rovonuo for tho • ourront your will bo n million and a half dollars loss than Inht yonr, owing to a big slump in tho tax returns for 1921, amounting to throo hundred million dol lars or more. All in all, it dees not Hoom a vory auspicious boginning for tho Hnrdwiek administration, and if tho now ■Govornor should auecood in working out of tho difficulties which nro now harass ing tho "grand old commonwealth" ho Svill bo entitled to tnko rank with the wixnrds of finance who made Wall stroot famous in days gone by. Wo shall watch 'tho process of liquidation (or will it. bo repudiation!) with an interest not un- inlxed with anxiety. Tho oloetion of Hon, Cecil Nolll, of Museogoo, to the Speakership. of tho House was highly gratifying to his frionds throughout tho State—and they nro logion. No candidate for tills office wns over fought more dotormluedly, or in more sneaking, underhanded ways, and considering tho olmrnotor and formidable- ness of the opposition nr rayed against him, Ids election was more thou a' victo ry—It wns a triumph. Even Gov. Hard wick was actively uguinst liipv—tho first, time within tho memory of tho present generation that a Govornor of Goorgin had lowered tho dignity of IiIb offico by taking a partisan stand in a contest for this photo, Mr. Nolll'b election was in offoot a refutation of tho methods em ployed to defeat him, and it is to tho everlasting credit of tho majority mem bership of tho House that they showed their preference for him ns presiding ■officer of that body. OBLIGATIONS OF THE STRONGER RACE. ■Judge Andrew J. Cobb in Christian In dex. Wo of tho white rnoo claim superiority over other races. This claim placos us whore wo must establish it. If wo are superior, then there is an obligation to be fair and just to the inferior. If wo tire uufair and Unjust to tho inferior, then we fail to establish our claim of superiority, not only in the mind of the inforior, but in tho mind of others who tiro of our rnoo. Tho wholo machinery of the government of tho State is in' the bands of the white man and will so con tinue. The white man makes the laws— tho white man exocutos tho laws—the , members of tho inforior race among 11s are.at the mercy of tho white man, who occupies all official stations, law makers, governor, judges, jurors, sheriffs and other offices. Does not this place upon us a serious responsibility! Is it not sufficient to awaken a serious sonso of obligation! Wien unfairness or injustice to the in ferior rueo occurs, is it not a gravo re flection upon us! Wo can bo fair and just in matters re lating to life, liberty and property with out recognizing social equality. We nro fair and just to mombors of our own race whom we do not recognize as our social equals. The more intelligent ne gro in our midst does not desire social equality. He cannot bo sworved from Ids viow by propaganda from the out side. Tho loss intelligent negro is not thinking about it—cares nothing about tho matter and has no reflections on the subject. H1b sole desire iB to live ami move and have his being. Tho social intercourse botweon men is not, nnd cannot be regulated by law. It is tho roBUlt of tho alioice of the individ ual. Wo chooso our associates in ac cordance with our own ideas. Congenial ity of thought, mutuality of inspiration, propinquity of resldoneo and the like solvo tho question of our Boclal relations. The Constitution of our State declares: "Tlie social statUB of the citizen shall novor bo the subjoct of legislation. ’ ’ Tlds provision in our Constitution made its first appearance in our law in tho Constitution of 1808—the Constitu tion of Reconstruction Days. It must be recalled that it was in this convention that tho negro in Georgia first appeared in governmental affairs ns a result of hia then recently acquired freedom nnd citizenship. There were a largo number of negroes in the covention that framed tho Constitution. The provision took its place in the fundamental law of the Stale without objection and without de bate. Tho nogro of that day recognized that whatovor might bo his aspirations in other lines, that ho would have no aspirations for socinl equality merely beeaUBO he wns a citizen. Tho Constitution further declares: 1 ‘ Protection to person and property is the paramount duty of government, nnd shall bo impartial and comploto,’’ "No person shall bo deprived of life, liberty or property, except by tho process of law. ’ ’ These declarations are tho expression of civilization in its aspirations for ideal government. Government is at its best when the humblest citizen has a con sciousness of its protecting power. Gov ernment is at its worst when the hum blest citizen has a due apprehension as to his life, his'liberty or his property. It is well for tho white man to assert his superiority. It is far bettor for him to vindicate Ills right to make the as sertion. Tho right to make the assertion can only be vindicated when conditions are such that the humble, tho woak and the despised are guaranteed tho right to livo, to move und own, so long as tlioir conduct is in accord with tho law of tho land,'and that tliolr rights Blind never bo forfeited except by tho duo’ process of tho laws. Why should not tho Christian thought of the State respond'to a sontimont that tho law-abiding nogro shall bo protected us to his llfo and llborty nnd uyoportyj and that the law-violating nogro sh id bo punished in the manner/proscribed by law through tho ngoncy of the con stituted authorities of tho,,State! Can a superior race, in complete possession of power, grant anything loss, with rea son and justice, to tho inferior race that it has completely under dominion! The appeal, of tlioso who are Interested in the welfare of tho negro, is simply an nppeal for justice, If wo grant this appeal wo oxalt oursolvoB and all Hint wo represent. If wo deny this nppeal wo debnso our selves nnd affix a blot upon our hoisted institution^ and, ^itnblishod standards tliut cannot exist undor a Cliristinn civ ilization. CORNER BRANCH.

A few weeks ago The Trihnne-News published a bit of verse about girls' present-day wear. A number of replies have come in, ampng them tho following. —-Cartersville Tribune-NeWB. I read the "ode" the other night, And thought it wns a sight; Now this is my reply to you, And I'll try to make it true: Wo wear clothes that suit the year— Wouldn't we look nice to wear A coat, vest, collar and tie In the hot month of July! Girls are more advanced than men— We change our styles now and then; But men are content to wear Just tho Bamo from year to.year; I think, if the truth were known, 1 believe you men would own That you like to see ub dressed In our very latest "best;" We may not like tho way yon go, But we’re too polite to tell you so; Now let me say a word to you, Then I’ll quit, fot I’ll be through: Little boy, you look so slight— Why woar your pants so tight! And that horrid piaoh-back coat— That’s the tiling that gets my goat; In tho summer, when it’s warm, Wo vory thinly clad our form; But in the winter, when it snows, Why, Bure, we wear somo underclothes. Another Reply. Married man, you are a fake; Cut out your chaff, for mercy’s sake;— Why should you lay so much stresB On how we poor girlies dress! If you don’t like what we wear, Then, old grouch, why do you stare! If we don’t pleaso you, pray, Turn your faco the other way; Wo’ll not molt for one or two Blear-eyed, rubber-neck things like you; If, like Mother Evo, wo chanced to roam, Poor wifey couldn’t keop you at homo. 0 WHY THEY FAILED. Telfair Enterprise. McRno business men should be inter ested in a report sent out by the Govern ment showing the per centage of failures and their causes during 1920. ,Of course, it forms rather disheartening reading, thiB story of tho other fellow’s misfor tune, but it carries, a lesson of value, and one that deserves careful study. The high spot in tho report is that of tho entire number of concerns which fail- od in the United States in a Bingle year more than 90 per cent, of them—think of that—more than 90 per cent, of them wore establishments that did not adver tise. If there was ever an argument in favor of using printers’ ink in a judi cious way, your Uncle Sam has presented it through this report. Wo presume that iti most instances those unsuccessful concerns did not ad vertise because they wore content to drag nlong. Then enme the readjustment pe riod, and they found tho very tiling which was putting their competitors over tho bumps—advertising—had been tho one thing they had ignored. The mer chant who UBod printers’ ink got rid of war-priced stocks at oven money or bet tor, nnd wore able to stay on their feet: Tho fellow who had goods that were de clining in value daily and didn’t have brains enough to use tho papers to tell the people that I10 wanted to get from under, took his place with the 90 per cent., who aro now sadder but wiser in tho ways of the business world. If you want tho best reason in tho world why you should advertise judi ciously and sonsibly, Mr. Home Mer chant, just sit down and think over Un cle Sam’s figures—that 90 per cent, of all business failures in 1920 were of con cerns that didn’t advertise. ’ -o- — If a man comes to you for advice tell him what lie wants to hear, and lie will like you; if you tell him what you really think, he will hate you, and do as he pleases anyhow.
