How about those farming tools,
are they reaiy f >r the fall work?
The tren I of the times is up

of she world fliers.
A man is a poor citizen wh)

Tn.s country belongs to all of us
although some would have us think
it belongs to only a small group.
Life, we are told, is just what
we make it. That’s the reason it
is such a sorry lot for some folks.
There is something wrong with
a Democracy when only 49 per cent
of the qualified voters cast their
ballots.
With the slate primary and Na
tional Defense Test Day over, we
can now turn our attention to
Novembei 4th.
Vote N i. 4th. Vote as you please
but VOTE, is the slogan going the
rounds of America just now, and i
mighty good one too it is.
Happy are the thoughts of the
fall fairs —they make us all akin.
Don’t forget to bring some of
those nice products to your owr.

INVESTMENT
IN LIFE TERMS
In this county, as in other coun
ties in Georgia, there arc men who
have accumulated considerable
sums of money and who have com
fortable incomes. In some cases r.
has been accidents, in most of the
cases however, it has been good
judgment in management, in in
vestments, followed by a determi
nation and a plan to conserve and
save. It is said that anyone can
money but to save, that’s the test
earn money but to save, that’s the
test of the financially successful.
We have within our ...,uer.-. men
who are turning thoir faces to
ward the setting sun; life is only
a few more years; their savings
are enough to make them comfort
able the remainder of their days.
They have enough and to spare.
And there are those in our midst
—young men and young women
who have finished their high school
course and who eagerly seek a
college education. They are hard
workers, they study hard, they ap
ply themselves, and yet they stand
on the threshold of college life,
clinging to their ideal to enter
college halls and see the college
doors close to them because they
do not have the money to enter.
They do not ask that money be
given them, but they want only a
chance. They need funds and are
whiling to pay back with interest
when they have finished their
course and get out into their cho
sen work. However bad they want
to take advantage of higher train
ing and however it is known that
they do, no one offers to help at
this juncture.
We know of a few young men
and women in just this condition,
whom we believe will make good in
college and in life, who are worthy
and in whom someone w r ould find a
most gratifying and satisfying in
vestment, an investment in lives
that count for larger things in the
future.
The problem is to connect the
men with money to spare with
these young people. What an op
portunity to one whose life hasen't
meant so much to himself and hu
day to make a real investment dur
ing the sunset hours of life. How
much happiness it would create and
how rich the rewards of such an
investment.
In this community as well as
Others, attention should be called
to these cases and interest elicited.
We know of a young man who
lias applied himself and is now
ready for college and yet who has
to. wait and work another year to
start. The question is, will condi
tions force him to finally give up
his education or will he persist and
even at An advanced age go on.
Once he enters he will stick it
through and in our opinion he will
make good aftar college days.
Men who have accumulated mo
ney in this community by virtue of
their good judgment and because of
the opportunities the community
has offered them to make mono' -
can do no better construct!' . •
than to lend these worthy student.-
money with which to finish their
education.
The alumni of the high schools
of this county would do well to or
ganize, create a fund for this ver
purpose, in order that these wo--
thy young people, through .... sc
veins flows the pure Ang. . . -1
bleed, mr.y have a fighting chi. ce
at least to get an educatin’ i'ho
idea is not to g : ve them mom out
make then-, a ban, charge interest,
release money .rat they may enter
the higher institutions of learning
Think it over.
Despite the jsnz an ’, jairg'.e of
programs and panaceas offered ns
solutions to our national and stato
and c. mn.ur.ity probit ms, there :s
a nr.tii "-wide mpha-io being plac
ed on the r- , cct for the Consti
tution and Law, which is a hopeful
sign. From every platform and
public place such talk should fea
ture the day.
Walker County Messenger, September 19, 1924.
Georgia ranks among the first j
agricultural stutes in the crop pro
duction this year—something to
feel better about.
The marketing season is soon
with us. Remember that the uni
form graded products are those
that bring the fancy prices.
The sentiment gathered over tho
state as to the bi-ennial sessions
amendment to be voted on Nov. 4,
indicates that it will be voted in by
the largest majority any amend
ment has ever received in Georgia.
If it is true that when you
touch a man’s potfket book you get
him, Davis is certain of election on
November 4th., because the past
three years the pocket books of
the tax payers have been entered
’and robbed.
Davis claims that he is not n
“drirt’ farmer, nor is he a “picto
rial” farmer, as President Coolidge
claims, but Davis dees claim that j
if elected he will do all within his j
power to give the farmers a square |
deal in governmental matters.
This is Constitution Week, the I
time when principles upon which
this government was founded is be
ing stressed in the public schools
and in public places. We must get
back to allegiance to the Constitu
tion and the laws of this land if
our civilization and government is
to be maintained.
i
The incompetent management of
state affairs and the leadership of
the past few years in the Georgia I
legislature has not only placed a
heavy tax burden cm the people but
has closed the doors of education
al opportunity to many bright
Georgna boys and girls. Here’s
hoping for a brighter and better
day in Georgia right soon.
The churches and good people of
Rossville are determined to run
the liquor traffic out of that fan- I
city. When the church people and |
law-abiding citizens of this coun
try wake up to their responsibility j
against evil, become out-spoken j
against infractions of law, qualify j
and vote, then the power of Democ- :
racy and the majesty of the law :
will be a jewel again in the land.
