STATE PRESS CONTINUES TO
SUPPORT HARRIS.
Deserving of Indorsement.
(From the Athens Banner-Herald.)
Georgia has had in the past a num
ber of able representative.} in the
'United States senate who have re
flected credit upon their state and
made for themselves records which
are living today oh the pages of the
history of this state. None, however,
rendered more conscientious service
or accomplished more for the inter
est of the state than has William J.
Harris, the senior senator from
Georgia.
The people of Georgia will act
■wisely in returning him to the sen
ate without opposition; he has earn
ed their support; he has made a
faithful servant; he is entitled to the
support of the people on his unblem
ished record as a man and as a rep
resentative in the highest councils
of the nation—the United States
senate.
An Unusual Record.
(From the Augusta Herald.)
The unusual record made by the
senior senator from Georgia, Wil
liam J 7 Harris, has, ,in the opinion
of the Herald, precluded ar y oppos
ition to him. Although some talk of
has been going around,
it ife not believed that it will ma
terialize.
His incumbency of five years has
marked for him a brilliant and well
"ordered path, and he will ask Geor
gia to send him back to Washnigton
because of that record. The voters of
this state should, and will send Sen
ator Harris back to the senate.
. His < service and ability has not
fOrily been recognized by the demo
cratic administration, but even un
der a' republican administration he
has been given some of the most im
portant assignments. If he is re
turned to the senate he will be giv
en a number of other important com
mittees carrying witty them the
chairmanship.
The Farmer’s Friend.
(From the LaGrange Reporter.)
Senator William J. Harris—still
“Bill Harris” among Georgians—
Haas not climbed upon the capitol
dome in Washington to broadcast his
achievements during his years in the
United States senate. He has applied
himself diligently, without ceasing,
to the task of finding ways to serve
his people; and he has served them.
If we had to describe Senator Har.
ris’ attitude in congress we would
merely say that he is not the enemy
of any class, but he is the FARM
ER’S FRIEND. His record of service
to the farmer, as well as in the fair
and just interest of every other class
of American people, suggests a de
scription of that kind.
A Hard Working Ambassador.
(From the Macon Daily-Telegraph)
Senator Harris has completed the
first five years of his term in the
senate. He is a member of the ap
propriations and immigration com
mittees. He has proven a diligent
and useful senator to the state. Pos
sibly no other senator in the history
of the state has maintained closer
personal relations with the people of
Georgia than Senator Harris. He has
no machine; he is not the agent of
any faction or group—he is the hard
working ambassador for his state in
the halls of the United States senate.
THE STONE MOUNTAIN MEMQ
MORIAL.
The controversy that has arisen,
and which has reached the courts,
between one of the owners of Stone
Mountain, Mr. S. H. Venable and
the Stone Mountain eMmorial Asso
ciation, is a regrettable one indeed.
■ A movement that represents
something so dear to the people r.f
the south, and which is intended to
create a memorial that will stand for
all time as a tribute to the heroes of
the grey, and one which the people
of Georgia are taking so much in
terest and pride in because it is
within our borders, should be con
ducted in such a manner as to be
above personal political and petty
bickering and controversies. It
should not be necessary for the asso
ciates in the >vork with Mr. Hollins
Randolph, or anyone, else, to haye to
come_to. his defense or that of the
.association. In- the- first place the
money-that is being contributed by
the people Of ■ the south should be
spent economically on the memorial
.and reports rendered-and mad? pub
lic as often a-* !■» iteces:n~y to in
form the public of the prog re s and
I amounts subscribed and expended.
|lf there is waste in the administer
ing of the fund then it is pretty cer
tain the public will scent it and cal!
for reorganization.
It isn’t so much whether the
charges coming out of the present
injunction are true or not as it is
'that the entire undertaking MUST
be kept above reproach and above
iwhispered charges, to say nothing of
'outspoken irregularities that the
public will not countenance.
This project is bigger than any
one man or several men and the pub
lic, those who love the cause that
Igave birth to the idea and heroes
for the character will be quicker than
any court in deciding such issues as
the one that has arisen.
THE FUTURE OF FARM LANDS.
When farmers are making money
on their lands the value of lands are
high. On the other hand, when they
are losing money, the value of these
lands are low. To show that land val
ues are sure to come back, look at
■the following statistics:
Total value of farm product, in la.t
ten year.:
1914 - $ 9,895,000,000
1915 10,775,000,000
1916 13,406,000,000
1917 19,331,000,000
I9TB | ... 22,480,000,000
1919 23,787,000,000
1920, 18,328,000,000
1921 12,402,000,000
1922 14,604,000,000
1922 . ... 14,604,000,000
1923 16,064,000,000
We sec by this table that the
value of farm products were lower
in 1921 than they had been since
191’5. But they are beginning to
climb again, and as the value of
farm products increase, the price of
farm lands and the demand for them
will increase.
The low value of farm products
has caused a flow of population
from the country to the city. Al
ready there are signs that the cities
are becoming overcrowded, and by
degrees the tide will turn and there
will be a flow of population from the
cities back to the farms.
The people are sure to win in
their contest with the boll weevil,
and good crops will be made in the
south. Less land will be planted to
cotton but more cotton will be made
per acre than ever before in the his
tory of this section. This will mean
more land will be planted in food
crops than ever before and there will
dawn upon the south an era of solid
and enduring prosperity.
Now is the time to buy farm lands
if you ever expect to own one.

Memorial services were held here
Sunday followed by a sermon by the

THE bell rings, the visitor enters, and
the first point that claims the eye is
the staircase. And that first impression
lingers long. If China Enamel, with its
soft, alluring, eye-winning beauty, has
included the staircase in its decorative
service; there’s pride in the eyes of the
housewife.
And so with mouldings, window casings,
doors, pillars, wainscoting wherever
used it is the hallmark of good taste in
interior decoration.
It is made in Pure White, Ivory, Putty
color, Dove Gray and Washington Blue
