The cotton farmers should join it. An institution that makes a com munity or town attractive is a good school. People are hunting good : schools and will move to those communities where godd churches and good schools are maintained. Are you helping to make-your community attractive through your schools? AN OFFICER FOR EVERY 10 PEOPLE IN UNITED STATES Some may think that Senator Borah is a radical, an alarmist, an extremist, and he may be, but rec ently in a speech in Congress com paring the past thirty years with his views on the next thirty years, he said some things that are strik ing at least and are worthy of some serious consideration. “I would like, in all candor, to ask you to look back over the last 30 years—brief, fleeting years—a fugitive shadow upon the dial when considered as a mere matter of time, but a century when measur ed by their effect upon our govern ment. The bureaus built up, the offices created, the constant mount ing of lax burden, the spread and waste of prodigality; let us review this record with ca; nd reflec tion. Then, assuming that this fateful tendency is to continue, and there is every evidence that it >s to continue, protrude yourselves into the future for thirty years. “There will bo an officer for ev ery ten people in the Republic. Every conceivable activii if mind and body will be under the direc tion and surveitlanc ■ bureau. Spies and inspectors, guides and counsellors will leer upon the citi xen from every street and corner and will accompany him hourly in his daily avocation. 'Faxes will be a hundred dollars per capita. For ty percent of the national income will be demanded for public ex panses. We will still have a Re public in name but a bureaucracy in fact—the most, wasteful, the most extravagant, the most demor alizing and deadly form of (fcivern ment Which God in his- inscrutable wisdom has over permitted to bbr ture the human family. This is no; the picture of a disturbed imagi nation; it is the remorseless logic of the present drift of things.” This sort of government is show ing its head in all our life—the church, school, society and state. What is the. solution, and how change it, we would ask Satiate* derail ? THE COUNTY AFFAIRS The actions of a grand jury are always of interest to the people of the county. This body’s duty is to go into the affairs of the county and report in the presentments what they can find and just what condition the county is in. This investigating body of rep resentative citizens of the county in their recommendations have great power and influence in the opei iit.on of a county’s business. The grand jury serves as a cor rective of evil tendencies. The August grand jury did splen did work and with a singular rap idity. * In the presentments published in last week’s issue is shown the state of affairs of the county, and in thei* investigation of'tho work 3TitCe*3herifT« against crime, and particularly that phase Os crime ' difocfly'traedfl to the vriusky tra’f- T* ' * sic, they passed a worthy compli mjk«st‘.iuuHKfged -as representative tltizens interested in their county’s moral welfare, the full and active co-operation of all-the people of the county. Warning the parents against letting their 'children under 16 drive autos, and other .infractions of the automobile laws, together with their distinct disapproval of Sabbath breaking, arc high spots that should elicit the hearty ap proval and support of the people in all sections. If you have not read the present ments in last week’s issue, get up your copy and read them; they will give you a brief view of your county’s condition which will be of help to you. PUBLIC SENTIMENT “Our community used to bo al ways disturbed with the liquor drinking crowd, but now I know of only one old man who takes his toddy, and he is ashamed for it to be smelled on his breath,” said a citizen in Walker county the other day. “What’s the reason for the change?” we ventured. “The sen timent of the good people are out spoken against it,” said he. Public opinion is the greatest solver of wrongs. When sentiment gets against the liquor traffic in earnest, whisky is a dead issue. And that sentiment is growing in Walker county every day. That kind of sentiment will soon restore the dignity and majesty of the law and Court and is the greatest force in eliminating crime. Put sentiment on crime’s trail ami crime will flee away. The constitutional amendment to crente Teach county is with us ugain for ratification or rejection Nov. 4th. She was rejected two years ago, and here’s hoping she meets the same fate Nov. 4th. Too many counties in Georgia now. Texas has only a little over 200, while Georgia has 160. Compare the two states in size. The truck farmer, the dairy farmer, the fruit farmer is the farmer who is making money. Tho other kind of farmers can make money too if they will work like these first named arc requirod to work. Tho three-day chautauqua com ing, next week should be largely attended. Bill Bryan thinks it is one of the beet programs of a So cial and educational way that com munities can book. > Hardwick To Speak In Main* During Campaign Headline. Which campaign, his or Davis'? He probably can do more good for Davis in Maine than he can for himself in Georgia. Common honesty is IV.vis’ big platform as against the big gov ernment steal* of th* Republican party the past three years.
