THE SCANDAL MONGER
The Cordele Dispatch has come
timely and pertinent remarks to
niafee on the and . an.la.
distributers. It says:
“The gossips destroy more people
than influenza —and that plague
was more deadly than the war. A
careless, ill bred man can stand on a
street corner in a moment and say
something about a woman that she
cannot outlive in a century—many
times what this type of man says is
an untruth in the whole of it. Some
times a fellow will get under the in
fluence of aterribie kind of potash
moonshine liquor, and then to be
funny he will say anything about
anybody. We have heard men in this
condition slay their fel.ows--mur
der good women. That type of man
ought not to be given room in any
emmunity. There is no written law
which he could break and cause
more degradation and suffering
than when he drops a word —a bare
nitimation of scandal-—about some
good man or woman. He cannot
hurt those who have lived and con
ducted themselves in such manner
as not to deserve a good name.
“And the woman who deals in
parlo? gossip—who calls upon the
next door neighbor regularly to dis
pense the news about other people
—that woman needs the admonition
•of a good friend against such con
duct. What she hears about people
in the form of scandal is not hers to
pass to somebody else. She might
question seriously whether she has
any right to tell simething which she
knows is the truth. There may be
many, many good reasons why it
should not go further. The right
man—the right woman—will have
nothing to do with publishing scan
dal, and mighty little to do with re
ports of any kind which might drag
somebody down.”
If all the people were guilty of
the scandal as handed around by the
evil and vicious minded gossipers,
-this world would be an undesirable
communty for good people Jto reside
in. If all the scandal circulated was
true, there would be few to escape
the .vitriolic utterances of the mon
ger who lives and thrives on the im
aginary wrong doings of others who
in many instances are far from the
depths of indecency to which the
monger has descended. There is
nothing to be gained in gossiping
and disseminating scandal, even
though there may be some sem
blance of truth connected with the
case. It is better to keep clean
skirts than to try to soil the skirts
cf others.
SOUTH fAAKES GOOD SHOWING.
During the year 1023 the busi
ness failures fell short from those
of 1922. In other sections of the
country there were a greater num
ber of failures than the fai'ures
which occurred in the south. This is
a most healthy sign of iproved con
ditons and a erterion to go by for
increased growth and wealth of this
tion of the country,
hile the boll weevil slaughtered,
or.r cotton crops, yet the farmers
rallied from their ravages by
diversifying crops and the new year
est prospects than ever to make
crops of all characters. Foodstuff
has been the saving medium to the
boll weevil and now with increased
stock, catle hogs and poultry rais
ing, this section will be prosperous
even though there is not a seed of
cotton planted in the belt.
The day has passed when this sec
tion of the country is dependent up
on the cotton crops for its income.
Of course cotton is a ready money
crop, but other ready money crops
have been found which are more
prfoitable and just as easy to make.
The greatest mistake which can be
made by the farmers during the
coming year is the planting of too
much cotton. The high price during
last year and the present high price
is an encouragement and a tempta
tion for the planter to increase his
acreage over that of last year in
cotton. If this is done, it will mean
a lower price for cotton and a loss
on every pound produced. Decreas
c 1 acreage should be the slogan of
eve y farmer in the south and in
rtead of increasing the cotton acre
age, if we are to hope for a higher
price or even hold what we have, we
should reduce. It is no time to in
«reus< the acreage of cotton and
jring on a slump in the market
which can be revived until the in
creased crop has been consumed and
the original owner of the cotton will
>e forced to sell it for less than the
cott of production.

A Mere Detail
Mandy was telling a friend she
had been to a wedding. She describ
ed the bride’s white satin gown, the
veil, the slippers, the flowers, and
everything.
“And what did the bridegroom
wear?” asked the friend.
“Well, do you know, that good for
nothing fellow never showed up at
nil.”
SEND US YOUR JOB WORK
FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER.
Having been solicited by many
good citizens from every section of
the county to make the race for
county commissioner, I hereby an
nounce my candidacy for said office
at the primary election, and should
I be elected I pledge myself to dis
charge all duties of the office.
Here are a few items that I am
not in favor of, and some that I am:
I don’t believe in a county com
missioner being clerk of board of
commisioners.
I am not in favor of convicts
staying in winter quarters the year
round, and being transported to
their work in trucks.
Am not in favor of the county be
ing Cut in hree departments, for
there is i, . ■ or less friction with
board of commissioners.
Believe in he tax payers knowing
twice a yea by an itemized state
ment through the papers where their
money h;.< been spent.
In favor of all road taxes being
spent in the district where it was
collected.
Under the system that Gwinnett
county has been run for several
years, I can t see why a man can’t
save the county at least $3,000 per
year.
Respectfully,
W. B. HOPSON.
