BUT WE GUESS IT’S ALL USED UP BY NOW 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. —“Bill Biffem,” in The Savannah Press. -o 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, THE LEADER TRIBUNE, FORT V ALLEY, GA.
