election are deolared, the opposing
politicians start ull over the State
whispering their poison through
every cabin crack in Georgia.
They work most actively in rural
sections and toll the farmers how
awful they are being deceived,
abused and imposed upon, until
the farmers get so sorry for them
selves that they don’t feel like
working, have no heart to work,
and think only of vengeance and
reprisal against their alleged op
pressors. It is tho same old Istory
every two years. Politically-in
spired self-sympathy on the part
of farmer voters has put more
demagogues in office than all
other agencies. This all leaves us

years, with constantly changing
governmental policies, and un
sound, conflicting, confusing and
unequitable laws. We will never
prosper at home to draw oapital

fiscal laws so we may know what
to depond upon at home, and out
