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 See Keown’s Merchandise While Attending The Fair A cordial invitation is extended everyone to make our store head quarters while attending the fair.

KEOWN Vi* \ t*th * tl ness —population considered-in com munities where retail firms are lib eral advertisers. Don’t abuse those who have the mail order habit; they are only mis taken.

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.

Georgia THE HEWS-UERALD, Lairrenceri !«, G*<n f?» time as the “Chief of Masonry in Europe,” promulgated what ar. known as the grand constitutions, which form the basis of all Scottish rite jarispradence and’ polity. 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 nearly three-quarters of a million Masons in th* wortd who have at tain? u the donor of the thirty second degree, known a* tie t’riW'ff of the Royal Secret,' •The thtrty-.hiVd degree is the ge'v rmi nr and a<i mini strati’re degree ami is comprised of the sovereign (grand inspectors general, of whom in the smrthern jurisdk term there ran' he no more tlian thirty-three".

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. LA HISCHITEK Editor-inschief: Quill Summon, Jr. Business Manger: Ellis Oooper.
