THE LIMA BEAN CROP.
More attention hsould be giver to
the growing of lima beans in this
section. This bean crop matures ear
lier in Georgia than does the crop in
Caiift rnia and besides a considerable
saving to the consumer on account
vs the long freight haul. California
beans do not Come ’into the market
until about the middle cf this month
while the Georgia crop is gathered in
September. This year, in south Geor
gia the yielj} per acre averaged over
1,100 pounds and brought a prive of
11 cents. The California beans sell
usually for practically the same
price but with the f eight added The
Georgia product is just as good a
bean and just as cheap, esides ev
ery dollar spent for home raised
beans means that much to the pock
ets of the farmers and to the t:lis of
the merchants.
Commencing the‘new year, every
farmer hsould ste aside several acres
for the specific purpose of growing
lima beans. A ready market at r
profuble price awaits everyone who
produces beans. If you have not
grown lima beans, try out a few
acres next year and you will reap a
harvest from your efforts.
THE MAIL ORDER BUSINESS.
Approximately one hundred thous
and copies of a mail order catalogue
was sent into Georgia just before
the fall season this year*bidding fro
the trde of the people of this state.
The postage on these ctalogues
amounted to near five thousand dol
lars. These catlogue people must be
making money or they would not
continue to send out these volumi
nous books.
The ; btiljj way our local merchants
caii. counteract the work of these
mail order houses is to talk to them
through" their local paper. In dis-
this question, the Savannah
Mir’rifng News says:
ould the local dealer counteract
this, pernicious influence. Then, the
astute men who put out the mail or
der catalogue have shown him the
way: Advertise. Tell the people the
truth. Frankly, lay your prices be
fore them. Invite them, through
your local paper—for, while there
are many ways of advertising, the
newspaper the standard, and the
man who uses any other medium to
the neglect of that one has missed
bis best opportunity—to bring their
catalogue with them to your store,
and then show htem that you have a
better aricle at a-cheaper price. Or,
if you do not care t odo this, bid op
enly and directly for their trade, just
as the mail order house bids for it.
You may think tha you are so well
known tht it is not worth while to
advertise, ut the mail order house,
beter known than you, doesn’t labor
under that delusion- It spends hun
dreds of thousands of dollars in ad
vertising every year, and declares
dividends as a result. And don t be
lieve that these houses do not use
newspapers; that is their best, choice.
If their advertisement does not ap
pear in your local paper, it is. prob
able that paper doesn’t want if.
Perhaps you know that you have
cheaper and better- goods on your
shelves than the mail order houses
offer. But the buyer doesn’t know
it. Try a dose of liberal local ad
vertising to counteract the mail or
der menace. It is infroming that
mail order houses do the least busi

EDITORIAL.
“,I believe in good road'-, but i
think it's a county matter. Neither
the state nor the nfitiona govern
ment ought to have anyhing .0 do
with roads.” •
That statement was made in all se
riousness by an otherwise well' in
formed and able editor of.a small
town paper.
In reply he was asked to answer
hte following questions:
If the county, ans not the state,
were the sole taxing power, what
would be come of state qphools, state
capitals, state developed w terways,
state boards of health, stat - depart
ments cf agriculture ar 1 state
courts? ,
If the county, and not the state,
were the sole admniistrati e unit,
chat would become of state militia,
state police, state hospitalization,
state charity, state insane asylums
a.id prisons and state government?
If there is a function for the state
to perform why shauld the state not.
concern itself with the welfare of its
citizens in the transportation wbjgh
is so vital to all its other interests?
hat would become of tra. .c, with
cu* state legislation? What would
become of rai.roads, without state
-•■■guktion?
here the state has no control and
ihe counties build the only roads,
h re is no system! The only states
n the Union which have an adequate
‘ogical and serviceable system of
highways, are those which build,
naiiitain and control the main trunk
a reads by means of a state road
commission or board.
What is true of the state and the
county, is true of the nation and the
tats.
Until there is a national highway j
commission, charged with the ere- j
ation of a national highway system,!
the mileage of Which will be built j
mintained by the national gov
ernment, there will never be, in this
country which needs it so bdly, a real
interstate system of roads.
TIME MAKES MONEY.
(Savannah Press.)
The greatest money saving part- '
ner in the world is Father Time. He J
.vill make you rich- if you give him |
encouragement and half. a. chance.
The savings banks keep telling you
this all the time nd they know what
they are talking about. Bankers see
examples every day of the virtue of
thrift. A steady saver cn look for
ward to dividends all the time and if
one starts to save early enough and
saves a modest sum at stated periods,
comforts will come their way in old
age and the fear of pauperism is va»-
quished.
Say the earning power of a dollar
is 6 per cent, have you any idea of
its earning capacity if just permitted
to get on the job and be let alone?
Here i 3 the way an expert has fig
ured it out:
Give your little girl SI,OOO on her
first birthday anniversry, invested at
6 per cent compounded semi annually
and here is what time will do if the
interest is reinvested::
At age 1 3 the thousand dollars will
be doubled.
At age 17 when she graduates she
will have $2,500.
At age 25 when she marries she
will have $4,000.
At age 37 when she. has children
she will have SB,OOO.
At age 44 when her children are
able to take care of themselves she
will have $12,000 from which she
will receive an income.
At age of 65 when the wide world
seems to forget one, she will have an
1 independent fortune of $43,971. .

0- igir Lost in Diw Vistas of History
The origins of Scottish ri.‘e Free

history. It is known that early iir
the seventeenth century many de

'in the Scottish site were worked iit

They varied greatly, however, and

time as the “Chief of Masonry in
Europe,” promulgated what ar.
known as the grand constitutions,
which form the basis of all Scottish

Scottish Rite Masonry in Europe,
like every other existing institution,
suffered from the effect of the so
cial and political disturbance of the
French revolution and the FCapol
e ii'ic, wars, but with the reorganiza
tion of sweial conditions Scottish
Masonry was re-established, and has
flourished, until today there are

ENFORCE THE LAW.
A few days ago Judge Blanton
Fort son, in charging the grand! jury
of Clarke county, is quoted as having
saia: “In England it is a felony to
cut rj concealed weajawis and there
are fewer murders in: the whole- of
England each: year than occurred in
the Western arreuit before it was
divided.”
This is an alarming- situation if
Judge Fortson- has been accurately
quoted; one that should challenge
the careful and serious consideration
of ail God fearing, law abiding citi
zen.'-of this state. We sav thi* state,
for the section mentioned is no
more lawless than any other por
tion of Georgia. There is no earth
ly excuse for any private citizen
carrying concealed weapons, and we
believe that the judve-of this and
other courts of Georgia would’ give
these violators - the maxrrnuw penal
ties of the law, if the trial juries
woci'd do their fall duty by finding
:he offenders guilty.
it'has been said that ar community
is what a majority of its citizens
want it to be:. The jury is the- sole
judge of the evidence and if they
cannot check the wave of . crime that
has- almost engulfed us, then- purge
the- jury box, and if that does not
give relief, make “pistol, itoting” a
fetbrry.
Human life is too cheap; It is al
j most impossible to find a white man
guilty of first 1 degree murder in
Georgia.
