It is not too early to commence planning for planting time. Many counties have already formulated a plan and the planters agreed upon a schedule for the coming year In Colquitt county, the formers have made up the following plan for the new year which appears to he a splendid program for that section of the state: Corn, velvet beans and runner peanuts, 10 acres. Oats, followed by peavine hay, five acres. Sweet potatoes, sugar cane, gar den, etc., five acres. ♦ j Melons Spanish peanuts or to- J bacco, five acres. Truck, three acres. Cotton, five acres. Permanent pastures or waste or wet land, three to five acres. Three to five milch cows, two brood sows and fifty burebred chickens. If the farmers in every county in the state would meet and agree on some definite plan for the new year, the results would show a won derful improvement over crops for- : merly grown without any definite i plan. In this section of the state j the .schedule should be changed ma-j terially. There are things which tan be raised here that can not be raised in the lower section of the state and no doubt there are things which can be raised in south Geor gia which could not be raised prof itably in this section. But the all important part of the whole proceed ing is to formulate and agree on some definite plan applicable to the section in which the plan is ' pro vided. Such 9 movement could be directed by the state college .of agriculture and. the Chamber of Commerce and the farmers from this and surrounding counties in vited 1 to attend a meeting for the proper organization of this impor tant movement, GEORGIA-MADE CHEESE IN DEMAND. Commencing in a smal way sev eral towns in this section have built cheese factories which have proved successful beyond all expectations. The Sandersville Progress, speaking of the cheese factory at Lexington, has the following to say of the en terprise and of the wholesale mer chant here who is handling the en t’re output of the Lexington plant: “There appears to be a demand for Georgiamade cheese which can not be filled because there is not enough of it made. , If. the people of Wisconsin can manufacture cheese, ship it to Georgia and sell it at a profit, it looks like Georgia p»ople could make such enterprises profit able. A grocery company at Ath ens is handling the entire product of the cheese factory at Lexington, and states that retail buyers throughout that territory are de manding Lexington cheese in pref erence to any other. Cheese has be n made at Fern Crest Dairy of this place and it was superior to that shipped here from a distance, but on account of the unusual de mand for the Guernsey milk from the cities the enterprise was rban doned. A cheese factory should be established at Tennille or Sanders ville so as to furnish a market for the surplus milk within this terri tory.” Georgia cheese are far superior to the cheese manufactured in Wiscon sin and New York. The building and equipment of a plant does not require any great amount of capi tal and the returns from such an in vestment are most inviting. Ath ens should by all means organize a company for the manufacture of cheese and not only supply the lo cal wholesaler, but should enter the markets of the entire south with Athens-made cheese. Such an enter prise can be made a success and the sooner our people realize the value of such an institution and the pro sooner will Athens commence to take her place among the leading manufacturing cities of the country. Manufactures and payrolls each week build cities and without them thijre is little opportunity for a city to grow add expand and take on im portance. Let us settle down to business and make up our minds that we will secure new industries for another year. It can be accom plished and without any great ef fort on the part of anyone. Co operation on the part of our people will W ork wnders and, create a new spirit in the community which is bound to result in much good. THE REASON WHY. * Recently a writer undertook to : explain why some men get SSOO a month while others work for 8100. Here’s the substance: Three brothers left the farm to ' work in the city, and all got jobs in ' r r.e same company, starting out at the same pay. S,x years later one was r 'ceiving £IOO per month; a seconi s£.oo; and .he third SSOO. Their father hearing of these sal aries, decided to visit his sons’ employer and find out why they were paid on what seemed to be such an unfair basis. “I will*let them explain for them selves,” said the boss, as he pressed a button under his desk. Jim, the lowest paid man of the three, answered. “I understand the Oceania has just docked,” said the employer. “Please go down there and get an inventory of her cargo.” Three minutes later Jim was back in the office. “She carries a cargo of 2,000 seal skins,” reported Jim. “I got the information from the first mate over the telephone.” “Thank you, Jim,” said the boss. “That will be all.” f He pressed th ebutton again, and Frank, the S2OO .man, reported “Frank, I wsh you would go down to the dock and get an inventory of the Oceanc’s cargo.” An hour later Frank was back with a list showing that the Oceanic not only carried 2,000 seal skins, but that she also had - 500 beaver and 1,100 mink pelts. The employer pressed the button a third time and George, the SSOO man, walked into the offce. He was given hte same instruc tions his brothers had received. 0 George did not return for three hours, and the office had closed for the day, but his father and the boss were waiting for him. “The Oceanic carries 2,000 seal skins,” he began. “They are of fered at $5 each, so I took a two day option on them, and have wired a prospect in St. Louis, offering j them to him at $7. I expect to have his order tomorrow. I also found 500 beaver, which I spld over the telephone at a proft of S7OO. The mink pelts are of a poor quality so I didn’t try to do anything with them.” “That’s fine, George,” said the boss. Then when he had gone, the em ployer turned to the father and smiled. “You probably noticed,” he said, “that Jim ddn’t do as he’s toid, Frank does as he’s told, while George does without being told.”— Exchange. MRS. CHARITY HOLMES BURIED AT SNELLVILLE Mrs. Charity Holmes, widow of Mu Samuel Holmes, died at her home in Atlanta Sunday night, Oc tober 14th, at the age of seventy thdee years. The funeral and interment were it the Snellville cemetery Tuesday morning, October 16th, at 11 o’clock, Rev. F. A. Ragsdale having charge of the services. Mrs. Holmes was born in England and came to this country about forty years ago, since that time she has resided in Snellville, where she was well known and greatly beloved. She was twice married, her first husband being Mr. Edward Snell, a brother of the late Mr. Thomas Sneli, of this county. She is sur uved by three sons, Mr. G. F. Snell, of this county; Rev. Frank Snell, of Milltcwn, Ga., and Mr. Cyril Snell, of \ ienna, Ga., and by two daugh ters. Mrs. Charles D. Criswell, of Ashburn, Ga„ and Miss Maud Snell, of this county. WANTED-ANEW FALL SUIT Who Would Hide the Faults of His Town Rather Correct Them Is a False Friend to the Community ' Every now and then some panic-stricken person shrieks to hf§h Heaven that the Jews are rapidly getting control of the United States. When Henry Ford opened his attack on the Jews every wiseacre whose province is to settle the affairs of nations on the street corner, said that settled Henry. If he ever had political ambitions he might as well abandon them Then came the cry of the Ku Klux Klan —a large, influential and secret organization was needed to keep the Jews in check. An examination of the facts, however, show the absurdity of all this ringing of the i id. m. Of more than fifteen and a half million Jews in the world only 3,602,150 live in the Unitod States. Of these, 1,643,012, representing 29 per cent of the total population, live in the City of New York. The .heart of the big town, Manhattan, houses 657,101. Brooklyn has 604,380. The strongest percentage, 38 per cent of the residents, is shown in the Bronx, where 278,169 Jews live and have their being. The majority of the Jews in America are quartered in the large cities, including Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, Cleveland, St. Louis, Pittsburg and, let us not forget, Detroit. More than 67 per cent of the world’s Jews live in Europe, according to the year book for 1923-24, compiled by. Harry Schneiderman. Poland contains 3,500,000, Russia 3,113,066, the British Empire 795,466, Germany has 615,000, Hungary 498,000, France and its possessions 411,500, the Irish Free State 5,161 r the rest being found in Czecho-Slovakia and Austria,. It is interesting to note that in Palestine there are only 83,794 Jews, so that so far as America is concerned, New York may truly be said to be the new Jerusalem. When Japan’s earthquake easts gloom over thousands of city flap pers because it spelled a jnmp in the price of silk stockings, it is easy to sense the Intricacy of our business machinery. Also we see how Providence turns even our vanities into influences that work flat peace and the inescapable advancement of mankind. ■ ■ fj A'New York builder the other day said he was having a hard time with fatwr.

Atlanta, Ga., October 18.—Much has been said and written recently about the growth of the textile in dustry in the south and the many advantages that obtain in this sec tion over the New England states. But it has remained for E. Hovard Bennett, one of the publishe-. of the American Wool and Cottor. Re porter to add the last word in an address before the Rhode island Purchasing Agents Association, which is being made, public here by cotton mill men. Mr. Bennett begins his address by calling attention to a million and a , half order that recently was placed in the south by Henry Ford after having considered British and I.ast ern competition. He then proceeds to show that the south is not c nly coming into ascendency in this country, but that it is rapidly tak ing away trade in the orient that once adhered exclusively to New England mills. The result is, he says, that there are now thousands of looms idle in the east, with no new developments in that section, while millions of dollars are being invested in new mills in the south. A group of mills recently were sold at Lancaster, S. C., at a re puted price of $55 a spindle, says Mr. Bennett, who declares that he can offer a Rhode Island mill con taining 80,000 spindles for sl2 per spindle, and there are no takers. Twenty years ago there was prac tically no cotton goods manufac- Jewish Control Only a Bugbear THE NEWS-HERALD, L.wreneeWH#, G«otf»# I tured in this section. Today there ! are 15,000,000 spindles in the south and 18,000,000 in the east. The mills that • have moved south and that have been built in this sec tion, it is estimated, represent sl,- 000,000,000 of cotton goods and $500,000,000 per annum in wages. At S2O per spindle it represents an investment of $30,000,000 and when taxed at an average of S2O per SI,OOO it represents $6,000,000 per year in additional taxes for this sec tion, to be spent in education and other things that make for general progress. And “the worst of it is that this is not history,” says Mr. Bennett, “but is a current ’ condi tion. The mills are going south to day.” The New England editor also re futes the old myth that operatives in southern mills are illiterate. He says he has visited all of the more important mills and finds that the children as well as the old people are all able to read and write. Their educational facilities ace better than around the communities where they live and their living conditions with in the mills superior to the sanitation prevailing in the average school room. There is not a mill operative in the south, he says, who cannot speak English, and this means that the loss from wastage and inefficiency is re duced to a minimum as compared with the mills in the east where there is a babel of tongues and a polyglot intermixture of races.

HORDE OF POLE CATS STORMS VIRGINIA TOWN; CITIZENS ARE IN PANIC Winchester, *Va.— Business has almost been blocked at Stephen City, a thriving Frederick county town, eight miles south of here, by the appearance Sunday of a horde of skunks, or pole cate. Where they came from in such large num bers no one seems to know. And that is harrassing the town council, the police force, the county board of health and school trustees. The presence oi tne pests has dis rupted business, and it is feargd schools will have to be closed up. No less than sxty of the animals have been killed, but they seem to be so numerous, especially in the suburbs, that the attempted exter mination has had little effect upon their numbers. Come in and look them over; you will be pleased.
