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. SEND US YOUR JOB WORK SUNDAY SCHOOL INSTITUTES TO BE HELD IN 13 CITIES In connection with the summer schools conducted under the super vision of Dr. N. H.

THE bell rings, the visitor enters, and the first point that claims the eye is the staircase. And that first impression lingers long.
