Entered a. the LaFayette, Ga.
lor transmission through
4 mails as nwoilii-clsi* matter.
The Democratic party seems to
have all too many favorite sons.
Maybe dark horses at the con
vention didn’t go strong because
this is the age of the auto.
Tourists spent $160,000,000 in
Canada last year. The trade-at
home idea hasen’t gripped us yet.
Not “watchful waiting” but bal
lot while you wait, is the depar
ture of the Democratic convention.
Voting a hundred times in one
•convention is some honor for a
delegate to hand down to posteri
ty.
The honor of being a delegate to
the Democratic National Conven
tion does not come without its
price.
The delegates at the Democratic
National Convention have made
themselves famous or infamous for
balloting.
The camping, fishing .swimming
•and taking-it-easy season is with
4is, and just a little later the real
Georgia watermelon!
If the legislature gets tangled
up in the Darwin theory, the Demo
«'ratic National Convention will be
tame in comparison to it'.
King Tut, Stone Mountain and
the Pyramids must all give way
now to the Democratic National
Convention as the Nth wonder of
the world.
The boll weevil husen’t appeared
in any formidable array yet and it
is well that he hasen’t because
we’ve had enough political distur
bance for one season.
The East’s ignorance of the
South, her history and conditions
is appalling, and yet we persist in
■studying Yankee history of the
South in our schools.
The crop outlook in tills county
at this time is reimrted to be en
couraging. Weather conditions
have been favorable ami prospects
now bid fair for a splendid crop.
Docs the school or church in
.your community need something
to make these institutions more
•effective and powerful? Look a
round and sec and then talk it ov
er with the neighbors and do the
needful things.

Elsewhere in this issue appear
the financial statements of the
three county bunks. A perusal of
the statements of our banks re
veals our county ill splendid condi
tion and should be a source of en
couragement and inspiration.
The list of the August grand ju
rors were published in last week’s
issue. We call upon these gentle
men in their respective communi
ties to take note of the boys under
16 driving autos. In this as well as
■other communities in the county
this infraction of law is going on
without an apparent effort to
check it. Last week a little child
in Marietta, a daughter of a for
mer citizen of this county, was run
.down and badly injured when a
•boy was at the steering wheel.
ONCE IN EVERY TWO
YEARS IS ENOUGH
The hi-ennial sessi n bill intro- ,
duced the last session of the legis- |
laturc.is to be presented to the
house within the next few days it
is understood.
This is probably the most im- ;
portant bill before the legislature
for the state at the present time.
Its companion bill of extending
the tenure of office of statohouse
officials to four yoars also sounds
business-like.
Also a bill to redistrict Georgia
in order to cut down the number
of senators and representatives ;
strikes us as good busines sense, j
This will serve to get men of big- I
ger calibre, remove the legislature
from local politics and will insure
better efficiency in the administra
tion of the legislature’s business.
In several states where the bi
ennial session is the law, the leg
islature only holds about twenty
five days because men of consider
able personal interests are mem
bers and they transact the busi
ness and adjourn.
Our legislature is more a clear
ing house for political aspirants
than most anything else, and the
bi-ennial session, we believe, be
sides curtailing the expense to the
tax puyers, would work for a bet
ter grade of polities and more sen
sible and state-wide legislation,
from which the entire state would
benefit.
We hope the legislature will
concur in the action of the Senate
and pass this Dill overwhelmingly.
FAIR PREMIUM
LIST READY
The premium list of the Walker
County Fair will be ready for dis
tribution this week. It has been
carefully worked out, enlarged and
is a most attractive offering. AH
prizes are cash and special empha
sis has been put on agricultural
exhibits. A noteworthy improve
ment over previous lists is the en
largement of tlie woman’s depart
ment. Call fur one of the booklets
at the County Agent’s office and
make plans to display your exhib
its at the fair Oct. 23-24.
Russia, according to statistics,
has bought of this country $40,000-
000 worth of cotton up to the
present this year, but the mills of
the country are not going on part
time because of a scarcity of cot
ton but because they can’t sell the
manufactured products. The situ
ation presents a paradox while it
mocks.

SOME FACTS
About The Biggest Single
Business In The World

Gummed postage was adopted in
the United State* in 1847.
Postmaster General Montgomery
Blair initiated the movement in 1861
which has resulted in the formation
of the Universal Postal Union. A
concrete example of this interna*'on
al co-operation is found in th« feet
that the letter sent for 5 cents to Au
stralia today cost $204 in 1857.
It was the demands of the Postal
service which first brouxht night
trains on the railroads, and the “first
fast mail trains" were followed by
fast passenger trains.
The money order system was adopt- j
od in 1864.
Postmen today bring mail to the
! doors of millions of homes. Free de-
I livery of mail service in cities began
ni 1863.
Postal savings banks, the greatest
; savings bank in the world was start
! ed in 1911.
R. F. D. service brings the city to
i the country. This rural service was
i started in 1896.
Parcel post was adopted in 1913.
Air mail service was started Hfiy
j 18 1918. For two years it has been
j operating an advancing service on a
| transcontinental route 3,000 miles
j long from New York to San Francis-
I co and earned in J 922 and 1923 the
j honor of making the greatest contri
bution to the progress of American
aviation.
Pioneering never stops an the Pos
; tal service. Faster, faster, faster the
i relay must be made. This sumrper the

will inaugurate through service, 28
i hours, between New York and the city
at the Golden Gate. One-third of this
journey will be at night.

IN MEMORY OF
A DEPARTED WIFE
My dear companion whom I loved
so well
No tongue or pen could ever tell,
But she has gone to live with God on
High
And now' she is rejoicing, though I
may weep and sigh.
And I cannot understand why she w r as
taken away,
But I will find out some glorious day,
When I have left this world for that
City of Gold.
Jesus and loved ones I will there be
hold.
She was so patient, whatever the test,
For she had received glorious soul
rest,
No friend in this wide world can ever
take her place,
And, Oh how I miss her sweet smiling
face.
And w'hile I am toiling on, she is en
joying sweet rest
As God only knows what is for my
best.
The blessed Holy Spirit can comfort
my bleeding heart
And through Him, I can conquer every
fiery dart.
Some day, I know not when my battle
will be fought,
When it is, then up through the air
I shall be caught.
And I will rejoice that Iv’e been true,
When I reach the pearly gates, my
Savior shall take me through.
Composed by Rev. A. L. Fowler,
