JVALKER COUNTY MESSENGER Kntabliiibed 1877 E. P. HALL. JR. Publisher and Editor Official Newspaper of the County SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year SI.OO Uix Months .60 Three Months 40 ••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. Walker County Messenger, August 29, 1924. | TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO , August 31, 1899. 0 0 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. GET SCHOOL BOOKS EARLY SAYS SUPT. OF CO. SCHOOLS Notice is hereby given that a sup i ply of school books, both elementary ! and high school have been ordered and | are now on sale at the olfice of the j Board >f Education at the Courthouse I Ail schools will be required to use the j newly adopted books beginning with | the fall term of school.

There is a small exchange on old j books if in good condition. Book prices ; are higher than formerly, so bring I your old books and take advantage of the' exchange prices. All books strict ly cash. Do not ask for credit. Patrons should secure books in ad vance of school opening, if possible, and thus avoid the rush, as well as i the possibility of finding the supply i exhausted, in case there are not en- I ough on hand. ; I cannot be in the office every day, because of other duties, but will have ; the book department open on Fridays j and Saturdays. If you come on other j days you may find me and you may not. Try to come on these days. 9-5 3t J. A. SARTAIN, C, S. S.
