WHY NOT CURB THE
SPIRIT OF INTOLERANCE?
Washington,' May 14 —No legisla
tor, no reformer, no zealous moral
ist, will admit that he is intolerant.
Yet there is intolerance in this coun
try; intolerance practiced by good
and earnest men and women who
sincerely believe that what they
think is wrong, is wrong because
they think so, and who, therefore,
feel called upon to make the rest of
the country believe as they do !
An earnest group in Massachusetts
i s trying to pass a law making any
Sunday activity illegal, whether it
be bread selling cr checker playing.
Utah is jailing men who smoke
cigarettes in public. Kansas has
long had an anti-cigarette selling
law, and now is discussing whether it
isn’t a crime even to own a cigar
ette The New York assembly
is uonsidering a bill to su
pervise dancing in hotels, and has a
civic league which wants legal sanc
tion for certain holds in dancing,
with all ethers made offenses against
the law. Kentucky tried to abolish
evolution, but was saved by some
common-sense legislators, and Texas
is working out the mighty problem
of whether one scientific doctrine
may be taught in the public school
and another* excluded. A bill has
passed the South Carolina house of
representatives prohibiting the play
ing of pool cr billiards, at any place
at any time. Thef question of mov
ing picture censorship we have al
ways with us. ... v .
Doubtless all this is harmless'
enough; the “blue law” makes little
headway against the hard common
sense of the United States as a
whole. Yet the same spirit cf in
tolerance which declares, because one
min finds rolling ivory balls ovt” a
cloth a ennp, therefore oihci
men should be made to hold the same
views, cculd easily consider that
striking a white ball over a net :s a
crime, or batting a baseball over a
grass lot is a crime. The spirit of
intolerance, like a fire, can spread
rapidly from small beginnings, and
also like a fire, its effects are whol
ly destructive when unconfined.
It may be wise to remember that
this country was founded because
the inhabitants could not stand in
tolerance of those who, abroad, legis
lated for the colonies; that certain
Pilgrims carved New England from
1 the wdlderness because they could
net stand the intolerance of religious
j persecution!
Joke’* On You’ Ma
“Well Ma,” said Hirman, “I got

“Well, well,” said Ma, much sur
prized, “What’s their names?”
“Right and left,” answered Hiram
laughing.

T. W. LIGHT TAKES BATH
IN VAT OF BEER SUNDAY
Officers'J. R. Shadburn, T. W.
Light and D. C. Atkinson were out
after a still Sunday on the farm of
Mr. W. F. McMillan. After a thor
ough search of thfe woods' the offi
cers succeeded in locating a thirty
gallon still which showed signs of
recent use, but search as they would,
they were unable to find any beer.
After a careful survey of the
woods around the still and nothing
was revealed, the officers gathered
around the still to discuss their catch
when Officer Light stepped just a
little closer to the branch for a bet
ter view of the outfit and the next
thing the officers knew he was vio
lently grabbing the atmosphere in a
mad effort to catch just as much air
in his hands as possible in an effort
to stay his journey into the bowels
of mother earth. However, the hole
into which he had fallen proved to
be a hogshead filled with nice warm
beer.
The distillers had sunk the hogs
head in the ground and carefully
covered it over with rotten boards
and leaves, which easily gave the
appearance of the rest of the ground
:n that neighborhood.
No arrests were made. —Buford

Agiiculturnl Development in Georgia
Shows Great Strides Since 801 l
Weevil Reduced Cotton Crop.
Atlanta, Ga., May 14.—The great
industrial development now going on
in Georgia is of such magnitude that
it if overshadowing some of the
lesser things, but it cannot over
shadow the wonderful development
of agriculture and its dazzling po
ing to Hon. J. J. Brown, Georgia’s
tentialilies in this state, accord
commissioner of agriculture. From
all sections of the state come sub
stantial reports to the state agricul
tural department of changing condi
tions on the farm and optimistic
statements that the farmers have at
last broken the shackles of slavery to
cottor. and will in a short time be
entirely free.
For many years, . Commissioner
Brown says, the diversified plan of
farming has been gaining headway,
but it had many obstacles to over
come It was naturally difficult to
get out of the practice of a lifetime;
many landlords demanded the plant
ing of practically nothing but cot
ton; lack if ready cash markets for
crops other than cotton, and many
other things discouraged diversifi
cation.
However, as Commissioner Brown
points out, as it gradually grew in
practice, the plan grew in the confi
dence of the people, and when the
boll weevil came and wiped out a
large portion of the cotton crop and
threatens to do it again, the farm
ers naturally turned to diversifica
tion for safety. The way they are
succeeding is surprising, Mr. Brown
shows, but what it means at present,
he further says, is nothing to what it
will mean in the future,
“Diversified farming and correct
cooperative marketing is revolution
izing the agricultural industry n
this state,” declared Commissioner
Brown. “Agricultural and manu
facturing are developing hand in
hand and keeping that fine balance
which makes the outlook optim's-tie
indeed ”
