They are arresting Southern Ex
press agents on the Southwestern
division of the Central Railroad for
wholesale thefts. We hope they get
the fellow that stole those ten pounds
of sugar we tried to dispatch to
Hon. Emmett Houser down Fort
Valleyway last winter when there
wasn’t enough short sweetin’ in
Southwest Georgia to give a bee a
grain to carry home to his queen.

SOUNDS LIKE A CHALLENGE
FROM HOUSTON TO PEACH
To Peach County Promoter*
You can crow as much as you like;
We don’t propose to croak,
Nor will we swallow the crow;
We will not wear the yoke,
But expect to live and grow.
-*-Perry Home Journal.
Fine sentiment, Brother Hodges.
Throw off the yoke of the reaction¬
aries, objectors, and “let the dead
bury their dead.” Yoke up with the
spirit of progress and tag along
with us, and welcome. Our motto
is. “Live and let live.”

FORT VALLEY YOUNG FOLKS
RESUME TENNIS PLAYING
The young men of Fort Valley have
had the tennis court near Mr. C. G.
Gray’s residence on Church street
put in first-class condition, the wire
netting repaired, court cleared and
marked and a new net installed, and
this innocent and healthful game is
again becoming popular here.
Few forms of outdoor exercise and
recreation can compare with tennis
in healthfulness and moral whole
someness for those who are physical¬
ly sound enough to indulge in tile
game. Unfortunately there are some
who would be greatly benefitted by
out-door recreation for whom tennis
is too strenuous a form of exercise.
For those who find the exercise
too exhausting or who are otherwise
disqualified for it, croquet would he
a splendid substitute. There is a dig¬
nity and gentility about this old
fashioned game that makes it pre¬
eminent suited to gentlemen and
gentle-women.
Many persons both young and old,
would be benefitted in every way
by taking up forms of recreation
and oxygenation like these in pre¬
ference to automobiling.
WATSON’S VICTORY FROM
A NORTFIERN VIEWPOINT
(From The New York World.)
Regardless of the swing of the
Maine vane, both parties have enough
to worry about to keep the most ex
pert diagnosticians busy trying to
figure out of the probable effect of
other events that have already set
them guessing.
By far the most important of
these developments is perhaps more
disturbing to the Democrats than to
the Republicans. It is the totally un
expected capture of the Democratic
nomination for United States Sena
tor by Thomas Watson, the Georgia
radical, whose long and picturesque
career marks him as the most rebel¬
lious political radical in the country,
whose voice and pen have been di¬
rected against both parties. Watson
is anti-everything set up by the polit¬
ical standards of the major parties.
He is against the League of Na¬
tions, the conservative doctrines of
the Republican Party, and has been
teaching an advanced form of Soviet¬
ism since long before the ascendency
of the Bolshevist movement in Rus¬
sia. The Democrats are frankly dis¬
mayed at his triumph; the only en¬
couragement that the Republicans
find in it is that it may prove the
entering wedge for breaking the hold
of the Democratic Party in the
South.
Seemingly, there is no way of
heading off the Georgia radical. Be
fore election he may. prove a most
disturbing factor in determining
the result. Since his nomination va
rious radical political enterprises,

raised by P. C. Pair, of Kenesaw, and
brought thirty-five cents a pound.
