The Republican party has been guilty of so much graft and cor ruption during the past four years that it has become shipwrecked on the sar.ds of the tide which has gone out for the last time. President Coolidge is left high and dry with ont a party or a platform on which hf can stand and appeal to honest thinking Americans. The Kansas City Star, a rabid republican organ, recently made the following editor ial comment: “It is clear to everyone that if the Republican party is successful at the polls this year, success will be due almost wholly to the leadership of President Coolidge and the faith the people have in him. The record of the party in Congress is a bad re cord. It is difficult to see, for ex ample, how those Republican sena tors and representatives who have opposed the Coolidge policies, and especially those who have voted to override his vetoes, can say any :hing for the party candidate with >ut condemning themselves.” This newspaper has sized up the condition correctly. President Cool idge has been shipwrecked and an chored in the political sea of misfor tune from which he can’t escape de feat at the hands of the Democratic party in November. Entering office at a time when the whole nation was stirred over the death of President Harding and immediately inheriting the wrong doings of the members and office . holders of his party, the president has not been able to stem the tide of dissatisfaction on the part of the public over the enormous graft and steading as carried on by the heads rof the various departments of the pvt vMmmi y k'vAp»\>niabic 4 ’Vtn J/voVT ■of graft and corruption, but such is chargeable to his administration : and as head of that party he will be •-held responsible which will result in "his absolute defeat for reelection. Democracy has stood the storm of time for these many yetars. Those who have been elected and placed in charge of affairs of this govern ment from president down to a -clerkship have never been guilty of robbing the tills of the treasury of the money levied on and paid by the citizens of this country for the support and maintenance of our na tion. Under Democratic regime, the administrations have been honest and the interest of the people pro tected; graft and corruption has nev er appeared in any of the depart ments. When Woodrow Wilson was president and the world engaged in war, every opportunity was open for graft, but under his direction and personal attention to all departments and through the appointment of honest men, this government was made whole and every dollar spent had an acounting to show for what it was used. If the people will elect a Demo crat in November the grafters and corruptionists will be cleared from Washington and their places filled with honest men and an administra tion of reconstruction will be set up composed of men who have at heart the welfare and interest of the people and of the nation.—Ath ens Banner-Herald. The citizens of Columbus are plan ning to do something definite in the way of locating farm labor on farms of their section. They expect to take advantage of the home-seekers’ rates put on by the railroads of the south east, by sending representatives into territory in which these special rates apply. The thing for which they are working is sucinctly stated as follows: “While continuing our plans and efforts for the bringing of new in dustries to Columbus, we are may very wisely and happily work toward making every farm afactory and thus aid in the development of our section while reducing the cost of living.” The results obtained will be of in terest to every agricultural commun ity in the state.

Little did American soldiers sup pose, when they were gasping pain fully for breath under » gas attack in the trenches, that “poison gas” would ever be applied deliberately to the cure of disease. Yet physicians have found that some kinds of gas used in the World war have a re markable potency for the cure of colds, bronchitis and other diseases of the respiratory tract. If the treatment is carefully admin’stered, it accomplishes the desired purpose of killing the hostile germs without* leaving any bad effect on the pa tient. The only objection to such treat ment is said to be its unpleasant ness. Any patient who roally wants to get well, and prefers a short pe riod of extreme unpleasantness should have the fortitude to go through with it. Horses and other animals a r e said to profit by this remedy no less than men. Recently chlorine gas was ap plied to a whole stable full of horses with good results. So, another of war’s horrors jus tifies itself, in being turned to the preservation of human life instead of its destruction. Let the list grow. SPINSTERS NO MORE. Miss Mary E. McDowell, commis sioner of public welfare in Chicago, announces publicly that she is an old maid because that is exactly what na ture intended me to be.” Fifteen years ago such an admission could not have been wrung out of a woman. Today the public nods approval at the words of Miss McDowell. The difference between now and fifteen years ago is that fifteen years ago there was nothing else for women to do but get married and those who remained unmarried were either re buked for shirking a duty or pitied for their poverty in the qualifications for matrimony. Today woman has a place in every station in life and if she chooses business in preference to a husband and children she is as much repected as her married sister. Miss McDowell has sounded a great truth when she declares that manj women are not naturally fitted for marriage and that these women should find their life’s work else where than in rearing a family. A score of years ago even this reason would not have been a valid excuse for spinsterhood. one flntf ofie-nait' decades as public opinion on the questiion of celibacy. A generation ago an old maid was an ndividual who disliked society, pre ferred cats and canaries to chilldren, engaged in no useful employment un less forced by absolute want into teaching or dress making and was of little value to the community except as an object of ridicule or pity. An old maid today is not an old maid in the sense of yesterday. Unmarried women have now earned the less odious appellation of “bachelor niaid” by making themselves an inconspicu ous part of society, by entering use ful occupations and by making them selves as lovely to look upon as debutantes and brides. ANOTHER EVIL OF WAR. Once more the annual rush of Americans to Europe has begun; and once more those who cross the ocean aie faced with the necessity of pur chasing a passport and getting a visa for every country which they de t-irt to visit. The passport, which v as unnecessary before the war, and might easily be abolished now by agreements between countries, costs $10; the visa of most countries which Americans wish to visit costs $lO. It would be hard to find a greater graft than this. The fact is that the United Ftates, M'd the United States alone, is re sponsible for the high visa charge. Between European countries, travel is either free or permitted on u merely nominal charge for a visa. It is be cause the United States charges $lO for a visa that other countries de mand $lO from Americans who wish to enter them. In the days when a million emi grants flocked to our shores every year, there might have been an ex cuse for a ?10 visa fee; but the fact is '.hat no such fee was charged, hew, when immigrat'on is tine is a high fee. It is very likely tl the Unicoi States is gaining nothing by imposing the fee since the two or three thousand Americans who v.sit Europe every year purch » P two or three visas apiece, whdi Euro peans coming to America buy but one. All this passport and visa racket is a product of the war, and should have been shelved with the coming of peacae. Most European countries are getting away from it by degrees, and going back to free travel. Only the Unted States insists on these useless and senseless regulations and fees. They are nothing but nuisances, and should be abolished.

SURVEY SAYS Southern Baptists are primarily a rural people, according to a rural church survey recently completed by Dr. E. P. Alldredge, of the survey de partment of the Baptist Sunday School Board, Nashville, this survey showing that 88.5 per cent of all Southern Baptist churches are located in the open country and in villages of less than 1,000 population. To these 22,043 rural churches there belong 2,193,205 members, the report shows, representing 68 per cent of the total numerical strength of the white Baptists of the south, the total being 3,494,189. Of the 213,676 baptisms re ported by southern Baptists during 1922, a total of 139,663, or 65 per cent were administered by the rural churches. A total of 17,027 Sunday schools are reported by these rural churches, or 85.1 per cent of the totai number of schools, and the enrollment of these rural schools is 1,318,689, or 50.7 per cent of the total number en rolled by all the schools of the de nomination. Other items in the report show that 52.2 per cent of the Baptist Young People’s Unions are found in these rural churches, along with 69.7 per cent of all the Woman’s Missionary societies, and it is only in the sub scription to the $75,000,000 campaign and payments thereon, the number of pastors’ homes and the total value of church property that the rural churches are exceeded by those of the towns and cities. The number of .church houses owned by southern aptists in the country is 16,862, while the number in the towns and cities is only 2,811. However, the value of property of the rural churches is only $41,454,445.47, as compared to $87,063,550.53 for the town and city churches. Realizing the need of a larger rec ognition of the place of the rural churches in the councils of the denom ination the Southern Baptist Conven tion has ordered its committee on or der of business to provide ample time on the 1925 program for the consid eration of the rural churches. Statistician Shows That They Form a Large Part of the Commercial Crops of the State. BY MARTIN V. CALVIN Specialist in Agriculture and Economics. Prior to the war between the states there was attached to 90 per cent of farm homes in Georgia a “home or chard” of the greatest variety of choice seedling fi.uit trees and select ed varieties of small fruits. In every case, the orchard was conveniently certain time each season, hogs and ooultry were given access to the or :hard except the section set apart for strawberries, raspberries, etc. There is a seemingly well grounded belief that freedom from the culculio and kindred insects, which damaged peaches, figs, etc., was attributable to he observance of the rule mentioned. In point of excellence, in every noteworthy respect, the seedling fruit of the 40s and 50s was incomparable. Beautiful are the Elbertas and the Georgia Belles, the Hileys and the yOU NEED NOT FAIL Great fortunes are sometimes made in small towns and in strange ways. In Good ' Ground, L. 1., an old fashioned hamlet with a couple of streets and half a dozen stores where motoring tourists stop for gas, or crackers and cheese, and then speed on to more pretentious villages, lives Walter King, known all over the world as an unusual designer of women’s hats. Not so many years ago when other boys went clam-digging or fishing King would hurry home from his father’s small general store and design hats from the wires taken from bales of hay, covering the frames with calico snipped from bright colored bolts, cr with tea matt.r.. “swiped” from tea boxes.

C—r«l» Carmans, and other popular varieties of this day, they would be in the “second class” if brought into compe tition, for family table use, in the form of “peaches and cream” or pure sweet milk, with the Indian and the Mixon peach, and their fellows. There is a marked difference be tween the former and the latter. The former are “commercial,” the latter are “seedlings” of multiplied varie ties —almost unlimited in number. The commercial peach supplies a felt trade want, and a certainty to the growers in the matter of strictly one kind of peach. If one should invest in an orchard of 100 or 300 or 500 peach trees for profit as well as pleasure, one would wish to be as sured beyond peradventure that he would have at harvest Carmans or Fibcrtas, Hileys ir Georgia Belles. He would be in position to guarantee ales as to variety as well as quality. The peach industry is winning in creasingly great favor with a large number of enterprising citizens in ev ery section of the state. Indeed, the peach may be said to be rapidly but thoughtfully broadening the territory of her progressive endeavors. Fort Valley is no longer the “lone star. V*oodbury, T'hnmaston, Griffin and other enterprising small cities are forging their way to the front in commercial peach culture. 5,000,000 Bushels Yearly. The Georgia crop of seven years, 1917-1923, totaled 36,152,000 bushels —an annual average production of 5,164,571 bushels. Mention is some times made of “commercial’ peaches as a fractional part of the grand to tal number of bushels produced. The systematically marketed peaches are all commercial. It will interest you to know facts about the carlot shipments of this popular fruit during the seven years last past: 1917, 4,098 cars; 1918, 7,995 cars; 1919, 7,236 cars; 1920, 5,663 cars; 1921, 10,636 cars; 1922, 7,365 cars; 1923, 8,597 cars. A total of 51,590 carlots; an annual average of 7,370 carlots. In round numbers, a carlot is 400 bushels. This being accepted as correct, we shipped 57 per cent of the crop of the seven years to the east and the west; sold in local mar kets 25 per cent and consumed 18 1 per cent. It is practically impossible to give the real value of the fruit shipped for the reason reports as to prices obtained are so conflicting. The apple industry is growing slow ly but surely, that is to say, satisfac torily. While this fruit will grow in every section of the state, north Georgia may be said to be its native heath. A few years ago, eight coun ies in north Georgia produced 27 per cent of the state’s crop. The coun ties referred to are Habersham, Gil connection, as an item of interest, it may be stated that Macon county led middle and south Georgia in the pro duction of. apples during the year herein alluded to; could easily stand with the eight north Georgia leaders. The 1917-1923 total crop was 7,- 967,000 bushels. Of the total 1,773,- 000 bushels were “commercials.” The latter represents 22.2 per cent of the total. The annual average production was 1,138,142 bUshels; annual aver age commercial crop, 253,285 bushels. It was brought to the attention of His family was poor in those days and they had a hard time of it to educate Walter. His education ended when he graduated from the local high school. The great prob lem of earning a living was partly solved when a year after gradua tion he left home to become a window dresser in a Southern city. A lover of beauty with inherent instinct for color combinations ho was able to hold his job which in those days was a triumph, but the pay was barely enough to buy the necessaries of life, and totally in sufficient to “help out” at home. On the threshold of manhood his father’s business began to wane, and his mother was stricken with an incurs-b';.- >isense Walter was cold storage dealers that the fruit had marks on it, in many instances, resembling scald and that this small matter raised serious objection among retail merchants. Two years ago, a gentleman up east conceived the idea that ailed paper wrappers would pro tect the fruit against scald. Several tests proved his theory. Now, the bulk of western apples are wrapped in oiled paper. Apple culture should be given wid er attention in Georgia. It can be made a very profitable crop. I re call a case, within forty miles of At lanta, southward, in which twenty seven acres in Yates apples annually yelded 100 bushels of marketable apples an acre. Yates are now sell ing at jobbers places of business at $2.50 a bushel.
