--O
Hoover is a much greater man
in his defeat than Roosevelt in
victory.
o
This presidential election was
ir: keeping with the goofus, trend
of mind now so prevalent in
this country.
Beer and whiskey has saved
( T) Europe, perhaps it will now
save the United States?
European countries with the
cheap labor goods wanted
Roosevelt. We trust the Ameri
can workman is now satisfied.
Al Smith will be the Colonel
House of the next administra
tion. The democrats are just
funny that way.
A title for the theme song of
the united States, “We Want
Beer.”
Hoover went down, over
powered, but fighting with his
head up.
We shall over cherish the
thought that we were not a
party to sinking this nation
doener in to t he evils of drink.
'
, -O
Perhaps this is the “Freedom
and Democracy,” we have heard
so much about.
A Democratic administration
put. this nation in debt, now let’s
see them get it out.
-O
The people evidently want
their “Pork” by the barrels.
-O
You cannot beat the Literary
Digest at theTr game.
It seems that there will not
even be standing room at the
“Pie” 0011010 ]’.
The United States Supreme
Court has granted the seven
Alabama negroes a new trial
and rightly so, no doubt. Racial
prejudice and the heat of passion
at the time of the dastardly
crime may have been the
means of a biased trial.
-O—
Now if the Rouse veil-Garner
crowd do what they promised,
the United States will be ready
for a Mussolini within a years
time.
The Democrats are running
after a mirage. If they bring
economic stability to this coun
try in the next four years they
will have to adopt every Hoover
plan for recovery.
In throwing to the winds
Tuesday the gains for good to
humanity, the Eighteenth
Amendment brought us, the
Christian churches took a back
ward step. By their acts they
have strangled the very faith
they professed. The non
Christian can well now doubt
some of their teachings.
.().
The fact that so many people
in Camden county and all over
Georgia voted the straight
Republican ticket is gratifying
to us. For a people so steeped in
partisan customs we think this
a great victory to independent
thinking.

Dangerous Driving
Months
The fall and winter months
arc the most dangerous of the
year for automobile driving.
Rain, snow, sleet, hail and
ice; early darkness, haste
reach home and escape the cold,
tightly closed cars and low
visibility, all contribute to the
hazards.
Skidding is a chief danger of
cold weather driving. The
motorist must confront not only
a visible wet or icy surface, but
one hidden under a bed of fallen
leaves.
Last year 1,740 persons were
killed and 51,720 injured in 44,-
510 accidents due to skidding
cars.
“The automobilist cannot
carry the driving practices of
the late spring and summer over
to the fall and winter without
running a great risk of accident,
says Maxwell Halsey, Traffic
Engineer of the National Bureau
of Casualty and Surety Under
writers. “Conditions become
vastly different in the last three
months of the year, and the
driver must take them into con
sideration.” Mr. Halsey lays
down certain rules for the dan
gerous driving months.
“Have your car thoroughly
inspected for any mechanical de
feats that may have developed
during the summer.
“Be especially sure your
brakes arc effective; be sure
your tires are in first class con
dition, also your lights and your
windshield wiper.
“Cut down on your summer
speed.
“Allow for early darkness and
for decreased visibility.
“If you find your car going in
to a skid, do not jam on your
brakes.”
Available statistics indicate
that automobile fatalities in the
United States decreased about
12 per cent the first 7 months of
this year. If that record were to
be maintained up to, and includ
ing December 31st, it would
mean that the number of human
live? taken by motor cars during
the year would fall below 30,000
for the first time since 1928.
However, the supreme tbst i*
now being applied. Every agency
nowadays is endeavoring to
bring about a reduction in auto
mobile insurance rates. A
winter driver should realize that
he cant contribute most to the
success of this movement by
driving which will decrease the
number of accidents.
Under the most perfect condi
tions. the driver of an automo
bile should exercise extreme care
And when the bad days come,
that care should he stretched to
the utmost.
Frocks Of Burlap Bags

Waycross, Ga., Nov. 10 (GPS)
—Who said Georgia girls were
not resourceful in these “hard

of burlap bags at a cost of 30
cents—and some labor. The idea
came from Miss Beulah Harden

Hard To Believe
A young girl was recently
expelled from school because
she insisted that George Wash
ington was born at Wakefield,
v n„ and not at Mt. Vernon.
Strangely enough it was stated
that the school board ratified
the expulsion and lifted it only
after the mother of the girl ap
peared before them with litera
ture obtained from Wakefield on
a previous visit.
A Department of Education
could be helpful in its research
work by compiling and distribut
ing better ways of handling the
precocious but insistent pupil.
Iniury and humiliation in school
squabbles usually start in the
class room because of the lack
of tact and training of the
teacher. Much of this can be
avoided, thus adding to the
peace, decorum and happiness
of the community.

Washington Current
: Comment :
A book called “Who’s Who”
purports to direct attention to
the assembled company of the the j
great, but gives no hint as to
person that might be called first
in the kingdom. A young lady
in Washington may not be in a
position to point a finger
directly at the chief “Who," but
she has begun a process of
elimination. It is her view that
the unseen radio audience was
so incensed at Mr. Hoover that
he had no chance of ic-elcction.
The trouble started when Ed.
Winn, a popular comedian giving
weekly broadcasts, was with
drawn recently from the air, to
make room for a speech by the
President.
A Jersey police officer donned
female garb, waited for a hold
up man, and filled him full of
perforations. Notwithstanding
the bad repute in which hiding
behind a woman’s skirts is held
the practice does not merit un
qualified condemnation.
On Tuesday, November first,
the new rules for contract bridge
went into effect. All is now well
and what happened on the next
Tuesday becomes of secondary
consequence.
The accidental dropping of
two lines of type from the
advertising change, column of an ex
produced the following
startling announcement: “Stray

Road, a Holstein heifer. 1928
model. Wire wheels. Body re

Must he seen to be appreciated.”
The London rioters who as
saulted Buckingham Palace,
cried “Smash the windows,”
which is a good example of mob
insight into the remedy for the
woes of the public.
spell-binding Considering the amount of
that was done by
both parties up to the very
dawn of election day, each must
have felt that it Was all over
but the shouting.
In a South American republic,
one aspirant for rule is reported
as running jjehind another. The
picture of two with candidates on the
jump, one opponent blood in his eye,
and his attempting to
get away with a whole skin, is
familiar in connection with Latin
American elections.

IN A GARDEN
We looked the roses over,
Among the blosoming
And yet we could discover
Each bloom a lovely thing,
That some were frail and tender
And some were bruised and
lame;
That true perfection’s splendor
Blit very seldom came.
Seen closely flaws were noted
And faults to view appeared,
The petals scarlet coated •
By wind and rain were seared,
And some were torn and tattered
And some ill-shaped were
found, . •
A few the storms had battered
Were strewn upon the..ground.
•Since failure frets a garden
Again and yet again,
I'm sure that God will pardon
The weakness of men.
Though.frality When may shame us
1 earthly toll is through,
can’t believe He’ll blame us
For what we couldn’t do..
—Edgar A. Guest.
Let This Be a Warning
A man walked reluctantly in
to a haberdasher’s shop in
Milwaukee.
“I just lost a bet,” he said.,
“and I want to get a soft hall.”
The-salesman handed a hat to
the prospective purchaser With
the ryftark: “This is the softest
hat we have.” .
, .
The customer gazed at it
speculatively.- “What
I want,”', he ’ said’
hes-titftingly, little “is. something" a
more tender. I’ve got -to
eat it.”
