••oreip.n A'iv-rtimi.d Representative
THE AM ERIC AN PRESS A ISOCI %TION l
Entered at the LaFayette, Ga.,
postolfice for transmission through
the mails as second class matter.
Dawes seems to have an excel
lent vocabulary of cuss words.
The point of business regener
ation is work, simple honest work.
Sept. 10th is not so far off, and
then comes the Walker county fair
Oct. 2.1-24.
Make the automobile safer for
the highway by stopping minors
from driving cars.
Guess the world war is respon
sible for the n- gleet of the ceme
teries of this county.
After Sept. 10th then Novem
ber and after that Christmas. How
comforting is the thought of old
.Santa. ' ,
If the Darwin theory of evolu
tion is abolished from Georgia,
'would it have any affect on the mo
ney gland theory 7
With a fair cotton crop in pros
pect, every cotton farmer should
unite with the co-operative mar
keting association.
The latest cotton crop d r timato
for Georgia is placed at 1,185,000
bales. Kinder makes old Georgia
look natural again.
Confidence created by honest,
judicious and efficient administra
tion is what this country needs,
and is Georgia’s great need.
The big rea n that the boys and
Afiris are leaving the farm is be
cause the city life is more attract
ive, and can you blame them?
Coolidge An l Dawes Hold Con
ference Headline. They will be
holding the bag in November when
Du vis and Bryan get through
with them.
Keep quiet with Coolidge would
be a more fitting motto for the |
Republicans, but even at that Da
vis is determined to make the
Sphinx of the White House speak.
Henry Lincoln Johnson is to
Coolidge what Booker Washing
ton was to Teddy, but Toddy soon
saw his mistake. The Sphinx of
the White House is still joined to
his idol.
North Carolina is getting re
sults in her highway construction
because she has a competent high
way commission and an honest,
business man at the head of t'
spending end of the bond issue.
There are over 650,000 school
children in Georgia and 18,000
teachers. Georgia's real asset and
■opportunity has become her great
problem under our present plan of
financing our educational system.
And Texas nominates by an 80,-
000 majority a woman Governor,
and she says that prohibition was
the issue. Some still proclaim
though that prohibition is a fail
ure. Each moon, the sentiment for
prohibition grows stronger, and
we are in favor of putting women
in authority over any old liquor
bead.
THEY NEED US
The two institutions In our
midst that fail to get the ardent
and active support are the churcn
and school.
The crime committed in this
county and every other county
could be eliminated if the rank and
file of the members of the Protest
ant churches, who call themselves
Christians would live the Life. As
long as church members prove
slackers in their support of the
church and its services; as long
as they let the world be “too much
with them," just so long will the
strong forces of Christianity be
weakened in its efforts to bring
the world to peace and happiness
Positive character, whose faith
is rooted and grounded in the fun
damental principles of the “Abun
dant Life,” is the force and power
needed to overcome the world.
The fall term of our schools are
opening with large enrollments.
They need the co-operation and
help of the peoples of the commu
nities. The teacher-may be one of
the greatest community assets. The
teacher needs encouragement,
needs active support, needs to be
appreciated as a moulder of char
acter, and therefore should have
the backing of the community.
Give to the teacher the unmistak
able realization that the people of
her or his community appreciates
the work being done, appreciates
the character and position of the
teacher, and the best service is ren
dered.
Make the church life and school
life strong, and you help build a
bulwark in your community a
gainst ignorance, prejudice and for
peace and happiness.
Get the spirit of the church and
the school and let us make these
institutions powerful in the stabi
lizing of our life.
SLOWLY BUT SURELY
The success o-f the co-operative
associations for the farmer up to
the present time has demonstrated
the wisdom of the plan. It is prov
ing the theory, always disputed,
that the agricultural class can
stick together for mutual ends.
Every business sets its own price
on the commodity it sells except
the fanner. He has nothing to do
with pricing the product he grows.
This is fundamentally wrong, and
through co-operative organization
this law will be changed. Why
should he not price his commodity?
He knows or should know what
profit he should receive for it.
This d will become true,
despite the effort to discourage it
on the part of speculators, cheap
politicians, etc., and when it does
the farmer will come into his right
ful own.
Business should help the farm
er get on his feet and on a sound
agricultural hasis; it means better
business for all and is nothing but
right.
4
The issue Davis is injecting into
ike Presidential campaign is hon
est government. No greater issue
faces the American people than
that, in the light of the past three
years of unparalleled Republican
thievery.
It is estimated that the country
had over 800 million acres of vir
gin timber a hundred years ago;
today she has only 137 million
acres. How timely and sensible the
loud cry for protection of the tim
ber of this country then.
A real tax reform, whereby a
better system of financing the pub
lic school system of the state can
be inaugurated, is a crying need in
Georgia, among her other great
needs. Put high type of men
in the legislature is the solution—
the man-power of the state is the
power behind the throne.
It looks to us like it is Coolidge's
move.

Below will bo found items of news
published in the Walker County
Messenger twenty-five years ago,
which will be of interest to the
readers of the Messenger today.
Among the legal lights at court
this week are Judge Payne, Cols. W.
J. N'unnally and C. T. Clements.
Among the arrivals Sunday evening
was Prof. W. D. Reid, who looks as if
he had enjoyed his vacation.
— o—
Ollie Carmichael, of San An
tonio, Texas, arrived Sunday for a
visit to relatives.
—o —
Tyre Brice, Tom Bird, Charley
Shields, Jack Jones, Miss Jimmie
Glenn and others will leave for Dem
orest Monday. Walker will expect
them to lead.
LaFayette had the pleasure of hear i
ing Monday night at the Presbyterian j
church Dr. Goetchius, of Rome. His
sermon on the crucifixion was very
powerful. He is a profound tihinkar
and a charming orator.
Congressman J. W. Maddox’s speech
at the intermission Tuesday was much
enjoyed by the large audience present.
Like the blacksmith who handles the
sledge he is a hard hitter and democ
racy always finds in him a resolute
defender.
The fall session of LaFayette Acad
emy will begin next Monday, Septem
ber 4th. It will have a full corps of
| teachers and will be better prepared
| than ever to do faithful thorough
j work. Prof. Reid earnestly asks that
i on the opening day all the scholars be
i present without fail.
j M. M. Whitlow is in condition to
> excite the envy of every horseman in
' the county. He has a saddle and bridle,
j a present from his brother, John, in
J Texas, that would attract attention
anywhere. The bridle hasn’t a buckle
on it and is made of brown and white
leather in round plats, and is airy but
strong. The saddle, massive, strong,
double girted and covered with tasty
stampings, shows that it was put up
in the land of horsemen. Toby’s only
regret is that he did not have such a
saddle in his courting days.
Misses Minnie and Gussie Ramsey,
of Heidelberg, Miss., were guests of
Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Scott last week.
Friday they left for Petersburg, Tenn.
where Miss Minnie has a flourishing
music class.
