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. r 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.

POST OFFICE | o 0 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 1 Postal Service, if Congress agrees 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.

Hinton-Wilson, •BEST IN THE LONG RUN” I mm J 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, Cassandra, Ga. Notice of Sale of Real Estate Georgia.
