That is where we ought to shine as we have so much good material to select from. The season's best joke is that some of these bolters are asking the real democrats to turn the party over to them. They have our permission if they can get Ben Davis’ to organize a party of their own. Announcements for justice of the peace is noticed in other papurs, but we presume that our people forget that this office chiosesits judges on the first Sat urday in December in every dis rict in the county, e The Prespyterian minister ex pressed it rightly when he said— Vou reap as you Sow,” and that sdividual is responsible for ue axity of law, and the irrever cneosof tosday, Qurtown is what puohe sentiment makes it, kiditor Harrington of the Jesup Sentinel says that we ought to “make a day of it” in talking hard times; get it out of our system, and then settle down to making times better. It is the right kind of thought, for in truth such ideas are just imagination anyway. “What we want to know, is how the people of Georgia can be persuaded into voting a hundrec ' Yare worth of Bonds” the other day sust one way,” 'em 1t is to their y=o." I thet cannot fen the gig is up, » of the most dangerous tulogs we have to contend with, is o hall drunken man and a one Labt car. As brave as we claim to be, we tremble when we see them coming, for the prank of one is as foolish as the act of the other, If we wonld lock more of them up we would have less of that char acter of scting on our Highways TTE——— One idea being developed by our Entomoligist Society is that they can breed parasites that will destroy other parasites eggs. Thus you see cleaning up the annual crop of such pests by arii ficially breeding one to destroy !

PROPAGANDA AND-- | | The normalcy of tue men discussing things effecting their busi ness and pocket bocks is just the natural thing, Su when the 11th District Editors met in Waycross last week they did just that, The shoe pinched more on propaganda than any other thing, and the Editors agreed they bad the remedy if they'd use it—the wastehasket, Editor Emily Woodard ¢onfessed it was “dumbness in us,” yet admitted she was often taken in, So is your old man, was the thought registered in our brain. Let's analize this subject; harken back just a little bit; has it not always been a fact that the newspaper was a “free horse to ride.” The columns must be filled, so why not “hep the editor out,” with isomelhing interesting 10 the public (us) and let the people know what was going on. The difference in yesterday and to day is just this—in the past Jocally Mrs. Sally Bipp had the earliest garden and the editor got the first of greens grown; Mrs. Amy Todd came along with the yellowest bulter; Ben Snoot with the season’s biggest wa termelon; Merchant Company got in new goods and the editor a new hat. It was a community habit, a feeling of good fellowship, eyery one thought of the editor, and the editor thought of them, and kind words ana smiles were not considered from a dollar and cenis pcint of view, it was a real good habit everybodv cultivated it. This then weas seized upon by outsiders, the idea grew, railroads supplied editors with,passes, an editor’s card carried him through many gates and the game was worn to a frazzle, Editors, as well as other were sickened and disgusted—tnen the paid publicity agent was conceived and the newspuper was made “the goat.” Now our maiis are littered with stuff, boosting this, that and the other, Our governments heads the list; the many state depart ments supphes us with their “dope”; the bankers, the liye stockmen, the power companies, political parties, charity and relief association, the railroad compauies, the cheese factorics, the pineapple canneries, automobile, radin and harvesting and fertilizers coneerns, other what nots, we cannot recall. Then again we have 'em offering to edit your paper for fifty cents per week to save our brains ¢nd time, Another flare is the circulation builder, turning the suvsecription list into a crippling financial worry. Thus we have a task to sort the grain frem the chaff, As oue editor put it “we dump the whole mess in the wastebasket.” That we admit is the only commoa sense cure of the evil; and yet we admit that there is much merito rious stuff that comes to us through the mails as proganda 1o a cause beneficial to the people and community. But the paid publicist gets the money, credit and glory, while we poor devils, that are suckers, wonder what is wrong with our prosperity. For our part, we are most convinced to assume that attitude that to those that supplies oil and gas for our power, we will furnish them with free air and water, : Now the subscription worry of the editors is ours as well as the rest of them. One editor puts it that the only way out was s*op the paper when the time was out, This is the experience of most all newspapers, and experience is the wisest leacher. Why it is, that so many people pay so httle heed to a “little bill” which amounts tv so much- to the publishers. Then so many thinks that when a paper is stopped it cancels the obligation, and if by chance one comes in to "pay up® he is heralded as an honest man and us to the others, the editor takes it out in thinking. Somelimes we are prone 1o think the basis of a real christinn is—does he pay the editor, and does he make an honest tax return, It they are not resl test what can be, The storv is told tnat at a revival tue preacher asked that all paid their debts 1o stand up, tuey all did but the editor, When the other question was pui, he answered that he could not pay his ecause the others would not pay their subscription. We have wondered what would come to puss if this incident happened in our life, and what would be the fruit of the next duy’s harvest, There is no doubt but what it wouid reap more dollar thau a half dozen spent in postage mailing them out tv delinquents. Tne truthls not paviay a subgerptio bitl is just a habit. « A little th ng overlooked. The remedy to apply is just business sense ard action, Toe rule of common sense that successful men use, is what we news paper men must sdopt, It our space is not worth naying for, it must | ave deteriated us much as non=adveri.ed goods, and the ed itor had best be taken off the shelt and put 10 dolag something else If the puper is not rendcring a service to the community worth the support of the merchauts in i's udverting columns, and the supserip tion price toits readers, then ind=cd he has missed bis calliag, and had best seek other means of support, So brotadr your attitude towards a paper—your commuatiy beacon hight=——is the power tiat mukes it a grea‘er or lesser ageney for community good, | The Southeast Georgla Fair is wver Considered from every point of view il has proven successiul; fiuni eos we learn making ends meet. There is ths we must leaco, if this event did not impress that upon our heirts—we must ad rere Locether, and the co-opara tive plan must be what the words imply, work to that end that the benefits must be mutunl and burd .us bourne together, No peity jealousy must arise, or a cause given the leust of us ty the Ligyge st of us for such a thing, Waycross is a real o nter, the hub, Ly which we, the spokes must hold the outer rim firmly, m the gather ing of speed to carry us onward (o greater yrowth and prosperity, Through combined force, the power will cume to devzlop this imme diate section, for we all must know and realize that ovr interest is identical and onward for one, means forward for the other as well.
