This campaign for the Georgia
Democratic primary has a lot of
sharp politics in store and the Sep
tember developments may disclose
some surprises to the people gen
erally and tho candidates.
President Harding and Secre
taries Hoovor, Lemon and others
-are persistent in thoir efforts to
stop tho railway and coal strikes
with the least hurt practical. At
this time (Tuesday morning) it
seems success will oome soon, with
concessions on both sides.
The negro Glover who killed
Deputy Sheriff Byrd in Macon last

Griffin Monday night. He shot an

Ip law making was tho prime
purpose of tho present session of
the' Georgia Legislature, it is evi
dent tho measures have learned
how not to do it. However talk
has been much and varied.
Farm women enrolled in agri
cultural extension poultry clubs
last year raised 2,083,127 standard-
bred chickens. They receivod for
chiekens and poultry products
sold, $1,617,047 53, in addition to
the supply produced for homo uso.
The tariff measure in the House
■of Representatives has proven a
bugaboo to tho republican leaders
■and it seems certain the measure
will be side tracked until the next
session. Tho division of opinion
is so sharp that both sides are un
willing to either pass or defeat the
measure until after tho congres
sional election.
A farmer of Colquitt county and
a candidate for County Commis
sioner has been tried and acquitted
on the charge of refusing to dip
Ibis cattle as the law directs. As
reports show, dipping cattle to
eradicate ticks is very unpopular
among the farmers of certain sec
tions of Colquitt and adjacent
counties.
er comfortable or safe to travel.
It is necessary to give priority
rules and regulations for the dis
tribution of coal. The American
public is not merely discommoded.
The actual perpetuity of American
civilization is threatened, In half
a dozen states troops are out to
keep order and to protect lifo and
property. The very ground under
the feet of society and civilization
seems mined and ready to go off at
any moment in a great explosion.
Is there any cause to justify this
dangerous situation? We do not
think so. /Over a question of a
difference in wages, thousands of
men in two key industries of our
civilization seem willing to pull
down the pillars of the temple
Thoy should understand and pro
bably do that this fair structure
of America can be destroyed in a
short time. A house that took a
year in tho building can be burned
down in an hour. The civilization
of America will endure no longer
than the peoplo of America want it
to endure- It can be destroyed as
quickly ns that of Russia was
ruined and by the same eause.
Men are forgetting that they are
Americans and remembering only
that they aro members of certain
classes. They have substituted
olass hatred for patriotism. If the
government does not approve their
idea of what wages they ought to
get, they are willing to make and
aro making war on the govern
ment-
president Harding has said that
tho War Labor Board is tho sole
government agency Charged with
the duty of dealing with wage con
troversies in tho railway industry.
No other agency of the government
would or could have anything to
do with such controversy. After
dealing Avitli the grievances of the
shop men and after the strike had
been ordeiod, President D W.
Hooper, of tho Railway Labor
Board, said on ‘July 7th; “The
shop crafts have been fairly beard
before tho Labor Board. They
have appealed from the sober, con
servative judgement of this board
to the strike with all its inevitablo
subversion of law and order.
“For the Labor Board to yield
to measures of this kind, would be
ah outrage upon public, decency
and would hasten the enlhronment
of anarchy in this country.” This
we think represents the opinion of
the average American citizen who
is neither a railroad executive nor
a railroad employe. This disin
terested American does not believe
that there, is' enough to tho contro
versy to justify the enthronment
of anarchy and is going to support
enthusiastically any methods of
citizen. The time has come, in the
apparent beginning of industrial
war, when bo -should ask himself,
“Whiter are drifting?”.—Prom

Nannette saw the violator creeping toward her, leering,
crafty, powerful. At her call a door crashed in and the
cabin thundered with the roar as Neewa, the bear, and
Brimstore, the dog, plunged to the aid of the girl, and
the man went down beneath the ripping, rending, twist
ing, crunching fury of their jaws.
