Have you bought your boll weevil
poison yet?
The Warren dairymen, who have
gone in for purebred cattle, and
may their tribe increase!
“Pitiless publicity” is one of the
Court's greatest aids. Let the true
light in and the fog disappears.
Its not such a honor to be a bill
maker whether you are a member
of the legislature or just a private
citizen.
There are other aliens that have
and arc contaminating American
ideals, so why not exclude them
too with the Jups.
The Democratic Tax Reduction
bill was signed this week by Presi
dent Coolidge as a substitute for
the Mellon plan.
The fellow who quits liquor and
trafficking in it dosen’t give up a
pleasure, but only makes society
more peaceful and happier.
Murphy, the Tammany leader
was reputed to be. a bar-tender in
his early days. It will be hard for
Wall Street to find a bar-tender to
till his place.
The poultry and live stock mar
ket is not over stocked yet, and ev

on his farm if he is not too indif

“There may he profits in chickens
nml pure bred hogs and cows, but
I'm going to try it all in cotton
and corn again this year,” said a
farmer the other day.
A great howl was put up by
some quarters against the Bonus
Bill. Oh well, however much money
it my take, it isn’t a ghost com
pared with the big oil steal.
The Ku Klux of the country
seem to have about got the goat of
Senator Underwood and he now
Wants to make this order an issue

The Georgia legislature would
probably do well and a good ser
vice to investigate the gas inspec
tion graft in this state, now en
joyed by machine politics, but
maybe the legislature is so tied it
cannot investigate.
.*/
Just a week or two and the Geor
gia legislature will meet again, and
already the state politicians are
getting things ready. Bills galore
will pour in and the big wrangle
Will begin.
I
THE BOND ISSUE
The big bond issue for roads and
Institutions of learning of the state
is already being agitated. If the
gasoline tax of the state can pay
off the principal and interest of the
bonds, it seems that it would be a
fine thing for Georgia. However,
to turn a vast sum of money over
to the present highway commission
dosen’t strike us very forcibly. If
the efficiency of the highway com
mission is to be measured by the
example of the state highway road
from LaFayette to the Chattooga
county line, then we don't care to
pay taxes for such efficiency and
progress.
TWO CLASSES
There are two classes in every
community—those who fight for
better schools, are willing to pay
taxes for same, and who spend
time and energy to get the same
for the growing generation of that
community; there is the other class
who oppose all plans for better
schools, who are unwilling to pay
taxes and yet who will spend more
money than their taxes amount to
to defeat a bond issue or a measure
for better schools. This latter class
of citizens in action speak louder
than words that they are against
giving the children of their com
munity a fair chance in life and
don’t feel any responsibility for de
nying their own and their neigh
bors’ children the God given rights
of a chance in life. This dosen’t ap
ply to Europe or Asia but right
here in Walker County, and if it
hits you, Mr. Citizen may it hurt
you so bad that you will get your
heart and head right.
THE STRONGEST MEN
Somebody has started a move
ment, if such a thing can be so
named, to rid Georgia of incompe
tent men as representatives in the
legislature, and propaganda will be
put forth to get the strongest and
best men to run for the office of
Representative—all off which has
grown out of the condition the
state is in and the way previous
legislatures have handled the af
fairs of the state. We are for the
movement if it will get Georgia
out of her mess and give us a pro
gress commensurate with out re
sources.
June is a month of many signi
ficant days. On June 10th, 1752,
Franklin first drew lightening
from the clouds ;the 14th is Flag
Day; June 3rd. is Jeff Davis’ birth
day; on June 17, 1775 was the date
of the battle of Bunker Hill; on
June 18t'h. 1815 the battle of Wa
terloo was fought; on June 26,
1017 the first American troops land
ed in France and June 21st is the
longest day of the year.
The secret of North Carolina’s
wonderful era of prosperity and
progress is found in the type of
leadership in the affairs of state. It
tukes unselfish, broad-visoned, big
men to get big things done.
Georgia can learn a real lesson
from North Carolina in this res
pect.
The chief trouble and complaint
against high taxes is a very just
one—the people do not get value
for what they pay in. If service is
rendered and things accomplished
then people don’t kick on taxes, it
is wasting the people’s money
which they pay in taxes that
brings on the storm.
The opposition have practically
conceded McAdoo will win over the
already announced candidates, and
are banking on dark horses, and
all the while Bill keeps getting
convention votes.
The latest investigaton of the
thieves in high office is about to
connect Mellon not only with the
oil scandal but with a huge liquor
deal. We have heard it said that
liquor and oil will not successfully
mix.
About 18 biUion dollars are in
vested in the privately-owned gas,
electric, street railway and tele
phone properties of this country,
and about this amount of capital is
invested in tax free securities in
the United States.
Tlte county commissioner of
health begins a series of short ar
ticles this week on tuberculosis, to
which we call attention. The white
plague is a menace that everyone
should join in the crusade against.
Now that the state primary has
set for September 10th and the
date of entry of candidates in
June, the political pot will boil
with the summer, if we ever have
any.
Walker County Messenger, June 6,1924.
It is estimated that there are
fifteen million radio listeners in
this country. My how we people do
like to hear the news, which is
alto?ether not a bad sign.
The fellow who criticizes move
ments for progress and its leaders
is a patriot—he puts fight in the
leaders to carry the movement to a
successful issue. There is some
good in everybody, you know.

Atlanta, Ga.—"About a vear ago I
was preparing to go to the hospital to
die. Had been sick and suffering two
years, had dizzy spells, suffered from
headache, constipation and a despond
ent feeling all the time. Had tried
many different remedies and got no
i better. I got to a drug store one day
i and was talking to the druggist about
! my condition. He handed me a bottle
i of’ Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription
and said, ‘ I think that will help you.’
Before I had taken all of that one
bottle I felt like a new woman. Now
I can say, along with thousands or
other women, that Doctor Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription cured me.” —
