DOUGLAS COUNTY SENTINEL VOLUME XVIII DOUGLASVILLE, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, JULY 14, 1922. NUMBER 14 U PSH AW ANN O U X CES CONGRESS In '.making my announcement to stand for re-election I wish to express my inexptesible gratitude for the inspiring faith of my friends. When I went to Congress three years ago as the Representative of the Capital District of Georgia. I determined to make up in hard work what 1 lacked in political and legislative experience. Laboring under the handicap of a large Republican majority, of course everybody acquainted with law-mak ing procedure knows that legislative initative has been practically impos sible, but I have tried to follow the only course left open to a new min ority memer — to vote intelligently and conscientiously on questione com ing before Congress, and to lay myself out in departmental activities for my constituents- For the cumulative evidence from the many hundreds I have tried to serve that my work has been effective, I am happy and grate ful. Frankly, while under the fresh shadow of a great bereavement. I had decided to lay down the onerous duties ot this responsible position, but loyal citizens from all parts of the district, both men and women friends who had taken a man utterly untried in politics and given him my district, my state and my country during HOW HE’LL SPEND IT Many Douglasville people have at times imagineed what they would do with a million dollars, or even a half million, if they should suddenly come into possession of so much weealth. John Lindley^ cook for 39 years at the Beckham hotel in Texas, is soon to become owner of a half-million dollars for a piece of land somebody worked off on him during slavery days, on which oil has been found. This is what John is planning to do with the money: First, there is a second-hand Ford truck he has his eye on for sometime He will buy it. | FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH George W Light, Pastor *H"!**!**!**!**2**!-I-H-H”!**!*d**!-d‘*l**I**I**!-'-*M"I Our service last Sunday was pa STRAWBERRIES PROF1TABLJ ,COTTON PROSPECTS EXCEEDINGLY BAD' DID WE GO TO TATE?, * j In view of the uncertainty of cotton on account of the ravage of the boll ' X | weevil,; we are printing below T account of the strawberry moven *7 in a small section of East Tenn., By Marion Kendrick (Atlanta Constitution) icularly helpful.

Many farmers became discouraged in their efforts to produce a profitable cotton yield, ; t was de clared, and their action in turning to other crops was a decisive factor in causing the state to show a 1) per cent decrease in acreage. Georgia and South Carolina are the only states in the cotton belt to record a reduction in acreage this year, all others returning to normal ligures.

We The next meeting will be held with at my present post of sectional and national opportunity. Another consideration that makes me wish to return to Congress is the fact that if the country should fittin gly rebuke the glaring and growing inefficiency of Republican leadership a leadership that has literally fallen to .pieces in its failure to function .vyttth remedial legislation and if I ^should lu». returned to the 68th.

Of course. Congress cannot pass a law which the Constitution forbids.

He dl strated to us yesterday that soak it in water and it stay to handle any job invites farmers to call at his well, and how a man can put in a and see the demonstration and frill day in six hours we never could under , explain costs etc. stand. Eight hour* work forms aj proper division of the day, but even eight hours flit by very quickly to the person who is actually and vitally concerned about his work. So we beleeive that all workers should work full* time to get the most out of it for themselves and for the ones for whom they are working. Nobody works for himself. He is working for other folks. And unless a person is Snterefcted and doing service over a good many hours a day for at least six days a week, he can hardly expect to render enough service to the other people for them to pay him very well. Personally, we think the movement for a five-day week and a six-hour day is all bunk, and we can’t se any merit in it either for the workers or the world in gene ral- FACTS WORTH KNOWING WRIGLEY’S ANSWER William Wrigley, Jr., the chewing gum magnate wa 8 talking to a little party of men in a smoking car the other day, and telling how much chicle Is used each year for chewing gum. “But Mr. Wrigley.” said one of his hearers, “youVe / spent millions of dollars and created a splendid demand now; eerybody talks about and chews Spearmint; your demand is steady and growing; isn’t it a waste to Spend so many thousands of dollars adver tising a product -that is already so well known?” And Mr. Wrigley, wading • moment, answered. “My friend, if I were to stop advertising, it wrold be just like taking the engine off of this train It would slow down- and after a little while it would stop. Advertising is the locomotive of business and if you don’t keep it up business comes to a stop. 1. Nine girls out of every ten marry—one girl out of every hundred marries wealthy- 2.

A BILLION DOLLAR GARDEN We \coirrrt) \wheat andl cotton as principal crops, and yet, in 1921, they both together were barely equal in value to the vegetables grown on farms in the United States. If we add the truck grown on city and town lots to the “garden sass” grown on farms we find a total just about equal to that of the national corn crop- Not all of these vegetables a s great prop oration of them as that of com produced found their way to a direct cash market. So far as that is concerned, the poultry pro ducts for the last census year, 1919 were more than a billion dollar.* in value, and the dairy products nearly billion and a half.

Quite a number of the young people from Central Church B. Y. P. U. went on a camping trip to Knowles creek near Marietta. All of the officers of the union were present and each group was well represented. Group one and three having the most members present. We were delightfully surprised Thursday night when several friends from Douglasville visited the camp and spent the night-. Friday night a group of friends from Atlanta visited us, anl enjoyed a splendid camp supper of fresh fish, chicken, cake, etc. The only unpleasant things were the mosquitors. which were very plentiful. We were somewhat shock ed when we found the boys had erect ed a new barber shop in the middle of the creek. Altho, all seemed to have a good time, they did not neglect their reverence to God, and devotional services each day. Saturday morning, just before leav • ing the camp all were called to order and several interesting talkjs were given. Rev. Floyd Walden spoke on “Service Hirough Co-operation, 1 ' which was very much enjoyed by all. After Binging a hymn all left for home treed, but happy. Mrs. G, A. Yeager and Mrs. G. A.

The annual pastime o£ revising and amending the tax U vs ot the state ha s been entered upon e.r Atlanta, and wiil be watoled for the next six we with apprehension on the part of tax payers. The special legislative com mittee appointed at the last session of that body to study from all points of view the proposed income tax and report, with recommendations, at the present session has reported that an 'income tax 1 substitute for the ad valorem tax, or in conjunction with an ad valorem tax, would be ‘'inoppor tune, inexpedient and unsatisfactory, and would only result in added bur dens to the people of the state." The -committee is of the further opinion, and so recommends, that “any changes proposed at thi s time in the law on the subject of taxation should be to enact provisions for a reasonable classification of property for purposes of taxation it being the belief of the committee that such a system would result in the voluntary disclosure of lasge tmounts of intangible property not now on the books for taxation.’ So many times has “tax reform" resulted in increasing taxes already authorized and the levying of new taxes that the public has become sus picious of all movements to change the tax laws. The idea has become firmly fixed in the public mind that all tax legislation is a means whereby the tax ipenderg can “dig" deeper into the pockets of the taxpayers.
