CHARLTON COUNTY HERALD.
DOLLAR AND A HALF PER YEAR
THE EDITOR’S NOTE BOOK
News and Views from the Curb, Home, and Farm.
Its all True.—Flakes of snow
in Florida the middle of April, ves!
and at Mayport, too. And Folks
ton, Georgia reports a ripe water
melon—Savannah News.
It Pays —Take out my ad says
Johnnie Wilson, have sold the cow
and folks are just running me
down. Soihereisa demand for
cows u..d acvertising sells them
Plant Business—-Hickox farm
ers have bedded some twenty
five hundred bushels of sweet po
tatoes this season. Our crop
short the editor intends lending 8
hand in the disposition of their
output. 1
Hoboken Paves Street,—Our
neighbor in Brantley, Hoboken, is
taking a right step forward, Three
towr block. on which the Highway
runs are to be paved, and we hope
ther will do as we did, pave the
sidewalk also. There is no better
or greater asset for a town, than
paving the street and sidewalks.
and the town that harkens quickly
is the town that proves it progress
in a concrete way.
Bracing Weather —Monday we
felt the chil' from 18 inches of
snown in Minnesoata, which sent
a chill up and down our spine, and
the sight of frost in sheltered pla

there they stond 2s to wish me a
hearty good morning. Sunday’s
herd rain was a packer, but with
a loosened soil and sunshine there
is going to be some good patches,
yet. He w 0 would succeed must
try, then try again.
It Should Stop—Practically
every state papers is lending an
aid in a campaign against those
that drink driving cars. Not that
we mean -ny special one, but we
have from time to time noticed
drivers hardly able to stay on the
Highway from this cause. It is a
favor for an officer to pull such
men, they are a mena~e to every
life they pass, and double the dan
ager of traffic. The agitation now
going on leads one to helieve leg
islation will be passed to stop it
but to us it seems common sense
will be the better plan. We have
sufficient law already.
Fall Crop—The appointment
of a commiitee to further a fall
crop; by the agricultural commit
tee, and that committee composed
of Dr. Williams, the editor and
Gad Roddenberry is now function
ing. Dr. Williams is the chairman,
and he s listing the names of those
that will plant a fall crop. Now
we want to keepa cash crop on
that means ready money in each
season. It /s being worked up
for the farmer and the glory thnt‘
comes so this committee will be
our success, Farmers we are
with you; we want you to mak:
somethizg on your larm, and now
i 8 the time to plan and get read)
for the fall crop.
Highway Paving.—The Last
wan Times-Journal says that there
is considerable talk o divertin;
proposed paving planned for the
Hawkinyille-Mcßae route to anoth
er route. Rather sorcy as this H-
Me routes this way, we have been
hopiug that we could get our folks
up the way to putthrough a paved
highway to ;Macon. If they could
realize what it means to their little
cities they would do some greaf
puliing for paved roads. :
- An Impresion-— We ran across
the impression scveral that Charl
ton, Clinch, Ware aund Atkinson
counties are planning to go in for
beef cattle on a large scale, We
do not know how that impression
originated—Stalling, Journal-Her
ald. Well, its a good imprassion
to have. and so far as Charlton is
concered we are working to make
the impression stick.
Pave Them—Talk of paying the
Highways i good, but for goodness
sake build them wide enough with
suffisient base to make them stand
up under trafic. The road to our
neighbor, Kinzsland having been
surveyed should be built broader
and better. The traffic that comes
over it, is the kind of traffic that
leaves money in town,

Fregor and Andrews, who con

acres of cucumber was here Wed

' Over 300 boys and gi~ls have
joined our clubs and all of them
have been asked not to join unless
their parents were willing for
them to join. | wish to take this
pportunity to thank the good
veople of ChArlton County for the
wssistance they are giving the
vork that lam working hard to
put over in our county.
It is impossible for me to see
I these boys and girls very often
and some times I have tied to
set to theirhomes and the road
‘onditions have kept me away.
Now, the parents will have to aid
ne in giving these young folks
(he best assistance that you can if
they are to make good. If one
teacher had 300 pupils in cue
ouilding, you would not hesitate
to say that he had to many, Well
Just think of that number scatter
ed all over the countv and in some
10 or 12 different clubs and you
~ill have some idea o the mag
nitude of the work. These boys
and girls are the men and women
of tomorvow and the little help
you aive them now will be placed
6 your ered't to be recalled long
aftar our day. it may help some
of your future dercendants in tne
course of time. I will thank

[ can say to the Yard Beaullying:
clubs. They shonld notice othe

whie your yard will begin to

t» make real rice yards and you
should not be disconraged. One
thing keep in mind, always put
your tallest plants near the hjuse
and let them taper in heighth to
the onter edge of the yard, we call
that banking or backing up, It
enables you to stand in front and

School Takes in Earlier:
Notes of about the School.
All school sessions will begin at
8:30 each day from now until the

longer and the earlier opening will
inconvenience no one. Tue ses.
sions will close at 3;30. This gives
time for earlier work in reviews
and for the clasing exercises.
One of the outstanding impres
sions made by the recent meeting
of the Georgia Education Associae
tion in Atlanta was that education-
Al progress in Georgia is being
crystalized into a state wide pro
gram whichwill lengthen the school
term, raise qualilication of teacers,
fix a state salary schedule: raise
tne qualification= of county school
superintendants and remove therr
selection from polities, If we want
the children ot this county to have
school onportunities as good as
the best—as well suited to their
needs as the Atlanta schools meet
the requirements of children there
~then school officials, teachers,
and patrons must haye broad vis
ion of needs; not one that is*re
stricted to our county alone, but
one that takes in the whole state
