Entered at the LaFayette, Ga.,
poatoffice for transmission through
tiie mails as second-class matter.
Hack up our officers and lets
run every bootlegger out of
W alker county.
Not watchful waiting but post
ponement seems to bo President
Harding’s policy.
___________
Am’t the people in your district!
about ready to take the forward
step of consolidated schools?
Now that woman has suffrage,
nearly fifty per cent of the total
population of the state, may vote.
Co operation is the only method J
by which the farmer can get his i
rightful place in the affairs of the
world.
Its getting about time the Capi- j
tol removal question was being
taken up by the Legislature to j
trouble the waters.
The cost of the North Carolina
legislature this year was a round
hundred thousand. Wonder how
much it will cost Georgia?
The creed of the progressive
man is that the more he gives for
progress, the more be grows in
the giving and th 1 world waxes
better for the gifts it gets.
The past ten years the farm
lands of Walker county more than
doubled in value. With the corn
ing of good roads in every dis
trict the next ten years should
show a greater gain.
Inoculation is the only safe
prevention of typhoid. Besides the
waste of human life, the greatest j
asset, it is cheaper in dollars and
cents to prevent than to cure this
disease.
CO-OPERATION BEGETS
BUSINESS SENSE
It has been said that the farm
ers will not stick together, that
they will not cooperate with their]
neighbors in buying and market- j
tig. This has been the ease in the !
South for too many long years, i
and in largely the ease today.
Bnt there are signs that the '
farmers are waking up to their
privilege along this line, and there j
a a better dispositon to co-oper- 1
ate with each other for their own
profit now than ever before in the;
history of the South.
When the farmers can realize
that by co-operating with each
other in buying their supplies and
in marketing their products, that
it is accessary to keep accounts i
to see how much is made or lost on
a certain piece of land; when they (
tome to understand the modern
methods of scientific farming and
will practice it on their farms:
when they subscribe for the best
farm journals and keep abreast
with the best thought and prac
tice-in agriculture, i* will not then
be Fong until the farmers in the
South will come into their own.
'and will be a more controlling
factor in American life than thex
ire today.
May the day hasten in this
fonnty when the farmer conies in
to his own. and has the power and ]
influence in all matters relating to
|i* county’s welfare that he is er.
titled to and should have.
THE AGRICULTURAL CENSUS
The agricultural census for
Walker county which has been re
leased for publication, and which
appears in this issue, shows mark
ed gains in everythng except in
horses and sheep, and this is due
to the fact that the census for
11120 was taken in January and in
11)10 it was taken in April, the
| breeding season.
The value of farm lands in
Walker more than doubled in
i! value, which is a splendid exam
i pie of progress during the ten
i year period.
With a system of good roads in
each district, with the movement
for betetr schools, better farming
and the increase in development
along all lines, Walker should
within the next ten years come in
to her own. The fact t hat Walker
is one of the greatest potential
counties in the South cannot be
successfully disputed. All she
heeds is organization and co-oper
] ation upon the part of her people
with the vision of what we may
|'become as a county.
A twenty-five per cent increase
jin population, when other counti
es show a decrease, is an indica
tion that, the outside world is
i beguiling to realize what we offer
as a county.
More people are today thinking
in terms of the county, are study
ing her needs, are getting ac
quainted with her possibilites,
find are puttng their shoulders to
the wheel for h'-r progress-
The coming of better schools,
longer school terms, better teach
ers, better roads, better church
life, better co-operation in farm
'and business life, are powerful
factors in our growth, and will
'tell in \yays never dreamed of
within ten years from today.
Every citizen in the county
khould feel proud that he lives in
this wonderful county, and should
bestir himself for her progress and
growth.
A famous writer says that no
man has a right to leave the
world as he found it. He must add
something to it; either he must
make its people better or happier,
or ho must make the face of the
world more beautiful or fairer to
look at. Where does the bootleg
ger or whiskey vendor come in
this creed?
In defense of our homes and the
ideals for which these homes stood
Sheriff Catron gave his life. How
"fitting now that the memorial to
iiim should be a home for his
own. Hav<* a part in this memori
al and make your contribution.
From reliable sources comes the
announcement that molasses and
calcium arsenate will exterminate ;
the boll weevil. Let every farmer]
who has planted cotton try it out, i
and try it out quick.
Another election on August Ist.,
Walker is growing out of her
breeches and must have two rep- j
resentatives in the Legislature
now instead of one.
