Columbia Sentinel, (Tom Watson's pa- per.) The Agricultural Department Is still being run on a “high plane.’’ Brother M. P. Roane is not playing his favorite 50-50 game on Brother Hol loway. Brother Mills flirt hot draw two sal aries while he was serving in the Legis lature; mirt his agricultural bonus has not been increased recently. Brother Pete BahnBen is just ns vir tuous as ever; no accusation,'warrant or indictment worry Brother Pete. Serum and cow-ticks are his special ties—the same old ticks the cows always gathered wherever they ranged where bushes grew. What fun Brother Jim Miller used to poke at Brother Lem Jackson 1 If either of these patriots will tell us what goes with those cotton samples, sent to Atlanta, I will listen patiently. When I was in the Georgia Legisla ture, (1882-3, and before that,) the Agri cultural Department was in one small room, and its salaried officers consisted of Commissioner Henderson, and his as sistant, Mr. Nesbit. We came near to abolishing this de partment, and it was saved on the plea that every other State had one. Under the eommissionership of Mr. Henderson the rust-proof oat was im ported into our State from Texas. That was the one very great benefit our people received from the plain old inexpensive Agricultural Department. See how the tiling has grown! It never gets enough money; it isn't worth a third of what it costs; it is al ways in politics; it never helped us a par ticle when the boll weevil was destroy ing our cotton; nnd it isn’t doing any thing now, except to stave off an inves tigation, hush up legitimate criticism and lay pipes for next year’s campaign. I do not mean to say, or to insinuate, that the Hon. J. J. Brown is a bad man, or that all the employees of the depart ment are inefficient. Wlmt I mean to say is that Mr: Brown is spending too much of the State’s money, and giving too little service in return; and that the scandalous doings of his department are more the work of Jackson, Bahnsen and Roane than of himself. But Mr. Brown is the head of the de partment, responsible to the people, and lie should not permit any set of em ployees to make a vast political machine which serves them, but does not serve the tax-payers, who bear the burden of the expenses. o INITIATIVE. Success Magazine. Opportunity is looking for the man with initiative. She needs him even more than ho needs her. And who is the man with initiative I Simply the man who can do the right, thing at the right time, in the right way, without bo-fp, ing told. He is tlie lima who does not wait upon the “boss” to tell him how, when nnd what to do. Ho-relies on his 1 ‘ boss ’ ’ to aid his plans, but not to mnko his plans. If you will follow instruethios, mul follow them well, you are above the average; there will always bo a place for you in tho affairs of the world. But if you can exceed your instruc tions in doing tho tilings Hint ought to be done, then you are among tho chosen minority. Destiny has picked you for b special preferment—you havo initiative. Initiative is tho power to create; all olso is but the ability to Imitate. And for overy man who can croato an idea there nro n thousand who can skilfully imitate It- For each person who can move forward on his own impulse, thero nro Bcoros who can go ahead only If somoono else will Bupply the Impulse. This iB the same as snying that ronl in itiative is very rave; therefore, it Ib in groat demand. We need in this world men who nan carry tho message to Gnrciq,” but still move do wo need the men who can furnish the message. Cultivate, therefore, tho habit of bo- ing a solf-Btartor, both in thought and action. Think of one new thing today which you can do for your company’s interests. Then do it. That will be initiative; nnd you will, find that it is made up of about one part superior ability and three parts 1 'superior determination. Repeat tho test tomor row, the next day nnd the day after, until it becomes tho habit of your thought and life to exploro new fields andibroak down old ruts. That will uulko you a success as your'own taskmaster - ,. which is the first great- Btopping-stone -to other successes beyoiid. o —.

Hatcher, of Adrian, gathered fif teen bales off seventeen acres of cotton this season by keeping a flock of seventy guineas in his-field all Hie year. The guineas destroyed the weevils mill kept thd insect in check. Keeping tho guineas in the cotton field wns done by having bowlB of fresh drinking water in the far corners of tho field where the guineas soon learned they could find water, and they covered the field thoroughly, going from one water supply to the other several times dnily. This was the only preventive against the weevil that Mr. Hatcher used, it is stated by reputable citizens who know him personally. Guin eas have been recommended before as destroyers of large quantities Of woe- vils, also partridges. For further information apply to West Point Route ticket agents, or tho undersigned. COLORFUL AUTUMN. Albany Herald. i All art is a poor representation of na ture. The painter’b landscape, the tow ering mountains in oil, the animals limn ed by artists—all are counterfeit pre sentments of nature. Yet that should not deter the lovers of nature in striving to excel in those arts that embellish the home and minister to the aesthetic taste of cultured people. Wm. Wirt, in his great speech prose cuting Aaron Burr, describing the homo of Blennerhnssctt, said there “hung on its. walls pictures adown whose painted landscapes one could hoar the murmur of painted streams.” History tells ns that in the golden age of Grecian art its painted grapes tempted the birds to oat. Landscapes gardeners succeed in produc ing a harmony even in a riot of colors. But over its best expression the trail of artificiality makes us sigh for tho na turalness of the fields flecked with flow ers and the woods of autumn colored by natural forces. Frost is the unequaled brush with which nature endlessly weaves her matchless patterns of beauty and meaning, not revealing their secrets to the ordinary eye, but always to the in vestigation of the earnest human heart. On the face of nature we find written in lieiroglyphics messages of lore and mercy to man, to the interpretation of which the Rosette Stone of a grateful heart must be brought. Always attractive, the fields and woods of Georgia are of special interest and marked beauty this fall. A long Indian summer has effected a slow process of weaving splendid patterns that delight the lovers of nature. The wooded arena are like bouquets on a grand scale, in which colorful autumn has wrought a magical mingling in sweetest harmony of all that makes n perfect picture. They are the admiration and despair of all who would transfer them to canvas. Autumn! What a glorious season of respite from nature’s active labor in bringing to maturity and fruitage I lie plants and trees of fields anti forests. o 1 Don’t go abroad to buy something when you have' a few dollars to spend, and then ask your home merchant to sell you on time when you nro broke. If you have bills with your merchant who has given you credit nnd an exten sion of time on accepted small payments, and take your .cash to the city to spend with a stranger who lias no interest in your town, nine times out of ten ho will “do” you, ljeeaiise he never expects to see you again. The home merchant will save you money with reliable goods which ho guarantees with liis reputation. A town that is largo enough and good enough for a man to earn his living in is good enough for him to spend his money in. If he does not. think so, both he and the.town would bo better off if he picked up his tent and moved away. Upstairs and Downstairs. A short time ago I invited a number of friends In to play bridge. When they were leaving -one of them said to me: "1 found this white linen bow In the crown of my hat.

Don’t bo a crape-hanger. Any cheap skate can be a good winner, but it takes courage nnd grit and faith to be a good loser. _ Have we got grit, or will we just lie down? When we talk hard times we absolutely destroy busi ness. We destroy confidence and cour age. The time and energy spent in wail ing could be used to advantage in try ing to find a market ,for farm products, or in doing something olse to. help the situation. Lot’s be good losers.

COLE MANUFACTURING CO. Newnan, Georgia. Central of Georgia Railway Makes An Appeal to Shippers And Consignees The amount paid out by railroads- on account of loss and damage to freight represents an economic waste, tial " burdensome, alike to the railroads and the public. That this waste is substantial is shown by the record of tho Iobs and damage payments made by Class I roads: 19111 $ 23,346,005 1017 35,070,757 1018 55,862,707 1010 104,507,174 1020 104,308,030 Tho Central of Georgia Railway liaH borne its sham of- the economic waste on account of Ions and damage to freight, as will be seen by examining these figures: 1016 ’ $ 00,010 1017 84,047 1918 163,047 1019 411,101 1920 597,483 Th6~forcgoing figures show the problem of loss nnd damage to freight threatened to- get out of hand. Since the return of the. railroads from Government control to the operation of their owners, tho Central of Georgia, in common with other railways, is making a determined effort to reduce this drain upon its resources. In this we need the painstaking co-operation of shippers and consignees, We, therefore, earnestly, request that all ship pers ana receivers of freight co-operate with us to make this movement a buccobb,. Good progress iB being made and figures for the first nine months of 1921 indicate n reduction of approxi mately 35 per cent, of the amount that must be paid out oa this account during the current year. , During September, 1021, 41 per cent, of the amount paid out for loss and damage to freight on tho Cen tral of Georgia Railway was on carload shipments. We request carload shippers to insist upon being provided with cars suitable for the particular kind of freight they desire to ship and to see that shipments are properly braced and stowed in cars to prevent damage by shifting. We request shippers of less-than-earloa(l freight to comply with the rules f and specifications of the Consoli dated Classification Committee appointed by the Interstate Coinmercfe Commission by Blcctlng substantial con tainers in which to pack their goods for shipment, so that packages may not bo cniBhod and contents damaged when loaded into ears with other freight. Wo request them to mark their packages plainly as to name of con signee and destination, removing nil old marks that may appear on packages, and to furnish legible billing orders, so that billing may Silicate clearly the name of consignee and destination. We also request to deliver their goods at freight depots early in tho day to avoid hurried loading and billing. We request receivers of freight to observe the character of containers used by shippers and the manner in which goods are packed, crated and marked, particularly when goods ore not received in good order, and to muke those facts known to tho shippers, appealing to them to use good containers oil the ground that defective goods and delayed transportation service cause them a loss of trade. We iiIbo request receivers of freight to notify our representatives promptly of any concealed loss or damage to their shipments, in order that Immediate investigation may be made. Some receivers of freight neglect to do this for days, and even weeks, after ship ments have been received, rendering it difficult for the proper inspection nnd investigation to be made. This militates against good service. November was designated ns “Perfect Package Month,” and much was printed about greater care in packing and marking packages. There was a real reason for this campaign. , Of the entire claim payments for the first nine months of 1021 on the Central of Georgia Railway, 23*4 por cent, is chargeable to loss of entire packages, indicating that many packages are improperly marked, or perhaps not marked at all. Our purpose in presenting this problem to our patrons is to enable us to render a better service, by elimina- 1 ting delay in the delivery of freight in good condition, and to assist in reducing the cost of transportation.’ By no menus do we cluiin that nil of the trouble is duo to lack of care on the part of shippers and consignees. *i We ere doing everything within oar power to correct abuses for which we are responsible. We are putting forth our best efforts to render a service off satisfaction. By working closely with shippers and receivers of I freight, vie believe it passible to bring the troublesome question of loss nnd damage under control, tp the great advantage of shippers and receivers of freight', ns well us to this railroad. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. W. A. WINBURN, President, Central of Georgia Railway. 5 -* Sit; 1
