An Honorable C areer
Seldom have yoters the opportuni
ty to endorse by their votes, so long
a'd as useful career as that of the
J unorable William H. Fish, candi
fi te for re-election to the office of
< lief Justice of the Supreme Court
o' Georgia.
For a quarter of a century, Judge
I sh hps presided as a member of the
1 gliest court of Georgia. Since 1905
1 .) has been Chief Justice of that
< art. Before becoming a member of
tue Supreme Court, he was a success
ful practitioner at the Georgia bar.
nod was elected for two terms to the
j idgship of the superi ir court of the
Southwestern Circuit. He has prob
s»bly participated in more decisions
than any other judge in the United
States, his name appearing in more
than one-third ot the Georgia re
ports, —since the 100th volume.
Not only a good judge but an ex
excellent Christian gentleman, is our
Chips Justice.
On account of his arduous duties as
Chief Justice, requiring bis presence
in Atlanta, the friends and admires of
this great man must care, for his can
didacy. And they are!
We belieye that merit should be
rewarded and that the people of Geor
gia are going to stand by him at the
polls. He should be re elected.
Crop Situation
The crop outlook in Wilkinson has
in the past two weeks materially im
proved. The corn is far better than
many expected. In fact now it is esti
mated that the farmers wiM make
tn ugh corn to run on next year. Also
tve pea crop is fine and there is a big
forage crop. Several car loads of hogs
have been shipped from this county
to date from January Ist- There are
more cows and hogs in the county
this year than we have ever had- Mr
E, M. Boone of Toomsboro has him
self shipped several car loads of stock
and is one of our most active stock
farmers. In two or three years we
will have in Wilkinson county the
finest breed of stock and will make
money out of stock business. The boll
weevil situation will not materially
interfere with the progress of the Wil
kinson county farmer.
Making Your
Business Grow
When you see Wrigley you think
of chewing gum. When you chew
gum you think of Wrigley. That is
advertising. Business men should
mike their firm,s name household
words in their respective territories
The best way and onlv way is to pat
ronize the County papers. Os course
one may say that he has advertise
and yet gets no results. He does not.
know how many hundreds and thod
sands that his advertising has suggest
ed to come to his business. The re
sult's of advertising works in myriads
Os ways. . The advestisement some
times may be slow in producing re
-Bults|but it always pays well. But they
generally bring quick results. The
idea of advertising is it psychological
effeet it has. It gets the name on
Iha public miud and the result is re
sponsive action.
Organized Labor
Labor organized itself that it might
have power. Capital in itself lias
power. When two powers conflict in
oue sense or another it means war.
It may not be a war of guns and
cannon. Yet there is destruction.
There is a suffering. There is a
great loss financially. People suffer;
farmers cannot ship their product, on
account of transportation being cut
all business is hindered and a hard
ship is brought on millions of people.
It makes no difference which is right
the hardship and suffering goes on.
Labor naturally has our sympathy.
Capital dee* not need sympathy.
• <-.
But it is not a question of sympathy.
Labor is independent. Labor savs to
the people 1 ' We are right and arc
" acting in our defense". Capital
says it is right and acting in defense. ;
The man in between says very welll
Lut we sutler just the same. So that >
is the situation.
Efforts have been made to prevent
strikes as efforts have been made to
prevent strides as efforts have been
_ made to pievent wars. A labor
il; board was created. Labor says the
1 board is a farce. That men who
T | were placed on the board as labor
i men were not in fact represenatives
Organized labor's complaint is that if
. the board ot fair, honest, impartial
j men on the board decided against
e tl em that they would abide by it. It
[. is true that frequently things are done
,f in the name fair play, honesty and
t right when in reality there is no
virtue in it. N o w if the labor board
e is the trouble in not being composed
e of men who will do the right thing
5 why not let Superior Court judges
t who are elected by the people com
f pose the men of this board. If they
. i are impartial, fair and right in the
. le?al decisions they render they will
e in the strike disputes. There is some
e remedy that will give satisfaction to
capital if it is hit upon. The Judges
s elected by the people would do the
| fair right and impartial thing to both
B capital and labor then mahe their
dec'sions enforced under the law.
This plan may lack much of covering
. the situation but it suggests a remedy
r Give the people a chance to express
themselves on strikes., all of the
a people by represenatives they vote
i i ibr to pass on the troubles of capital
j and labor.

■Stringing out from the suburban
■ transit terminals of New York every
f Sunday and holiday goes the army of
, khaki-clad hikers. There may be an
automobile for every twenty of the
country’s population, but a host of
city folks disprove the theory of a
■ future leg-enfeebled citizenry and are
learning to walk all over again.
To the more casual minded, the hike
Is just exercise, but to those who
catch its real significance the hike
means a great deal more. It is the
> cheapest form o( recreation and
therefore appeals to those living in
crowded districts and unable to avail
themselves of the more expensive
amusements. And these people, be
it noted, are just those rhe country
is so anxious to have spread out and
settled in the farming sections. The
hike, indeed, has possibilities as a
real starter for the “back to the farm”
movement.
Doughboy and Boy Scout Lead Way
Just a brief survey of the rollicklug
। groups which move off from the out
lying terminals on holidays estab
lishes a few general types. There is
the ex-service man and his friends
who will hear from him the story
of more serious excursions on the
muddy roads of France. He tight
ens a strap here and another there
on the blanket roll adjustment or the
“shelter half," in which the commis
sary is packed for the mid-day feast
by the roadside. Expert directions
come from him on the method of
slinging the pack so it will not feel
so heavy or interfere with the free
body movement. He will pass along
the information, gained in his army
days, of how that same pack was
evolved after numerous experiments
to find the easiest way of carrying
the heaviest load. With results he
now compliments, but which he char
acterized when a doughboy as a
“blankety-blank total failure.”
Then there are the boy scout par
ties. adept at everything pertaining
to “shanks mare" traveling and wood
craft. The ex-service man and the
boy scout are pioneers in the hiking
game. Listen to one of them right
off the train and making ready for a
twelve mile jaunt: “Get that can
teen over to the side, Jimmie, and
it won't keep bouncing off your leg
every step. Is it filled? Well, then,
we drink. How about the eats? Let’s
cheek 'em off. You got the spuds,
Bill; the bacon Jimmie. Who has the
coffee and the Borden tin cow?"
"Right here,” announces a freckled
comrade of the road, patting his knap
sack. “Snitched the mocha and the
can of milk when Sis wasn’t looking.”
“Well, then, let’s go!” snaps the
commander of the expedition.
This party is traveling light for real
distance. Another must expect to
make a shorter hitch or else be count- |
ing greatly on its power of endur- I
mice. Perhaps the camp is not far '
off because the group is equipped for ,
an over-night stay witli heavy blanket i
rolls, hatehets, lanterns, canvas wa- •
terpails, rubber ponchos, kettles, pots, ।
new fungled firestand, etc., etc.. The
blankets are laid out for a better
packing of the bags and cans of food.
When tlie party commences to load
up the members bristle all over with
camp tools and equipment.
Back to the Farm
i The veteran from the crowded city
। tenements has found a new territory
to roam and one almost unknown to
his associates. He is introducing them
to this newly discovered land and
teaching them how to be independent
of any transportation but their own !
good legs and of any subsistence but
v.hat they can carry and prepare.
“Walk, and cook your own,” is his j
motto.
Who will say the leaven thus fer
menting in the city crowds will not
bear fruit in a keener appreciation of )
country delights, especially as these
are added to by increased comforts !
on the farm. With his radio hitched i
up, the fanner listens in on the best :
entertainment the country has to i
offer. Modern home devices wipe out )
many hardships formerly imposed |
upon isolated dwellers. There is, in j
short, a rapid cutting down of the
differential between farm and city
life.
In the meantime, knowledge must
precede a true appreciation of what
the country holds, and this is what
the hike supplies. There Is more ap-,
peal in one apple tree in blossom than
in reams of printed matter put out to |
induce the citizen of the city to I
change his abode to the country. The
hikers constitute a growing army,
equipped with bacon, spuds, coffee >
and tin cow for merely a day’s outing (
but nevertheless seeing sights that
make them yearn to be among them
all the time. It is not too much to
assume that the army may one day
recnilt the open places.
STANLEY DAMAr'W
I A $2(1,000 damage suit filed Satur
day in the Uuited States District
Court by John T- Stanley, of Irwin-
S ton. deputy sheriff of Wilkinson Coun
ty. against fourteen Wilkinson Coun
ty men whom he alleges were mem
bers of a mob that shot him in an at
tack on the Wilkinson County jail on
n May 22, when Stanley Was attempt
i ing to hold Jim Denson, negro, under
e sentence of death, is said to be the
B first damage suit of its nature ev^r
a filed in this district of the Federal
Court.
Litigants in the case are all resi
i
f dents of Wilkinson County, it is said,
f aud the natural course for a suit of
a this kind to have pursued would have
e been in the Superior Court of Wilkin
* son County but nnder paragraphs
a 1980 and 1981 of the Revise Statutes
of the United States, Sibley & Sibley,
s of Milledgeville, and Hall, Grice &
’ Bloch, of Ma^on, representing Stanley
' ■ have brought the case, which forms a
। i precedent, into the Federal Court.
i । The cardinal feature in the suit is
1 the alleged conspiracy of the defend
- ants to prevent Stanley from perform
' ing his duties, and this particular
। ! phase of the case is based on nara
j graph 1980. sub-section 1, which
i makes a conspiracy to prevent an of
ficer from performing h’s duties a
ground for recovery of damages.
\ However, attorneys have gone fur
. the, and in setting up their rights to
- recover damages under tne statutes
3 1 of the United States have also sighted
’) sub-sections 2 and 3 of tne same para
, f graph. Sub-section 2 outlines a
. "conspiracy to imtimidate party, wit
? ness or juror or to obstruct justice,”
■ and Sub-section 3 explains a ‘‘con
, spiracy to deprive a citizen of his
, rights or privilegs.” In addition to

' acy," has been added to the petition,
