North Carolinas Example
To Georgia Democracy
CONFRONTED with virtually the same
political problem which their Geor
gia neighbors are facing, the Demo
crats of North Carolina have found the very
solution which this State may be expected
to adopt in the primary on April 20. They
have placed themselves whole-heartedly be
hind their senior United States Senator, Hon.
F. M. Simmons, as their candidate for the
Democratic nomination for the presidency,
and will send a delegation to the San Fran
cisco convention instructed to Vote for him
on at least the first ballot, or until it be
'kimes evident that party interests demand
Ujat they turn their support to another.
■'The North Carolina and the Georgia situa
ticas present striking parallels. The “Tar
U«el” Democrats, like those of this Common
wealth, were threatened with the exceedingly
unhappy predicament of having to choose
between two candidates, neither of whom ap
pealed to the judgment or enthusiasm of the
and file. One of these, Senator Owen,
—of Oklahoma, was avowedly in the contest
for the State’s delegation; the other, Attor
ney General Palmer, though not as yet
formally entered, was conducting a free
handed publicity campaign, with the obvious
design of coaxing votes. Now, both of these
gentlemen possessed admirable qualities, but
neither impressed North Carolina Democrats
as being of presidential stature or as afford
ing the remotest hope of carrying the coun
try, even if nominated at San Francisco. In
Senator Owen they saw a serviceable legis
lator, but .one who could not be expected to
figure seriously in the convention. In Mr.
Palmer, they saw a capable Attorney Gen
eral, but one whose extreme position on the
League covenant made his success as a leader
out of the question and whose overwhelming
defeat in the significant Michigay primary
practically eliminated him from further con
sideration. In these circumstances, the
Democrats of the Old North State decided
that it would be foolish to commit their con
vention vote to either of the candidates be
< fore them—»ot only foolish, but unfair and
hurtful to the party’s best interests.
As away out of their dilemma they have
done, by means of a State convention at
Raleigh, just what thousands of Georgia
Democrats propose to do in the preferential
primary. They have declared for a distin
guished son of their own State, an abler and
likelier leader than either the gentleman
from Pennsylvania or the gentleman from
Oklahoma—their own senior senator. Their
action in the Raleigh convention means that
Senator Simmons’ name will go on the bal-
S.L.lot; and it is generally conceded that the
primary vote will be overwhelmingly for
him.
This prudent and harmonious course will
commend itself to the host of Georgia Demo
crats who found that they would be virtually
disfranchised if reduced to a choice between
the two extremes which were presented them
as the only alternative before Senator Smith
consented to the entry of his name. They
will be impressed, moreover, by the fact that
the senior Senator from Georgia and the
senior Senator from North Carolina, both vet
erans in their country’s service and warmest
Sta^ d for the Bame deep-rooted
Jeffersonian Democracy and substantially
Sam . e p .° hcies on the problems of the
time. As citizens proud of their qfatA nnri
c?atTnf US r f ° r t ? eir party ’ e welfare the Demo
crats of Georgia will do well in following the
example of their North Carolina breSfn
The Kaiser s Castles.
Everybody, we suppose, has longed
for his Castle in Spain; but thiak of
having to bear the burden of one
hundred and fourteen castles in Prussia'
Such was the Kaiser’s unenviable fortune in
the Oid days (the almost ancient days, they
now seem) which waned and waned before
the fiery summer of 1914.
The Prussian Assembly has been busied in
the last week or so with legislation for a
financial settlement between the Hohenzollern
family and the State. The principal bill it
appears, provides that thirty-nine castles and
estates shall be retained by the Hohenzol
lerns; that twenty-five castles and estates,
“together with many pictures and valuables,”
shall be transferred to /the State, compensa
tion therefor being allowed; and that fifty
castles and estates shall be renounced by the
Hohenzollerns in favor of the State, without
compensation. The holdings thus left the
once royal family amount to something like a
billion marks; and should the ex-Kaiser him
self ever return to Prussia, he still would
Jiave castles numbering only one fewer than
the forty thieves.
This strikes the more democratic elements
the Assembly as being far too fat a patri
mony for the hangers-on who brought war
to the world and wreckage to Germany. At
least some of the billion marks, they insist,
ought to become public property. It would
seem, moreover, that if taxes and prices in
Prussia are anything like what they are in
the rest of this be-leeched planet, the Hohen
zollerns can no more think of keeping thirty
nine castles than the average American could
of keeping thirty-nine cents out of his
shrunken dollar when that arch tyrant, Hi
<Tost, comes riding by.
THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL.
A Notable Enterprise.
BY way of comment on the recent estab
lishment of a farmers’ co-operative
grain elevator at Dublin, the State
Bureau of Markets says in its current week
ly bulletin: “We feel this to be an epochal
event in the progress of agriculture in Geor
gia. Not only is this the first co-operative
elevator to operate in Georgia, but we be
lieve is the first in the South. Every appli
ance of modern machinery and efficiency
has been installed. This will enable the or
ganization to operate at a minimum of ex
pense. Therefore, the cost or charges against
farm products passing through this plant
will be reduced to the lowest possible figure,
and the profits accruing to the organization
will, of course, go back to the farmer share
holders.”
The Bureau’s estimate of the importance
of this enterprise is well warranted.
“Epochal,” indeed, is an institution that
goes so far to facilitate the profitable mar
keting of food crops and thereby to encour
age their production. If diversification of
food crops is the most constructive tendency
in our agriculture, then assuredly a form of
service that enables the farmer to handle
harvests other than cotton conveniently and
to dispose of them advantageously is of cap
ital value to the Commonwealth. It was
lack of just such service that kept Georgia
and the South fettered so long to the one
crop system of farming, with all its hazards
and inefficiencies. Planters continued year
after year and decade after decade devoting
their acreage and labor almost exclusively
to cotton, this depleting soil’s resources and
making tremendous bills for purchases of
foodstuffs from distant regions. Why? Not
because cotton was intrinsically more prof
itable than grain, live stock and staple vege
tables, but because it was the only crop for
which there were anything like adequate
market facilities, the only crop which could
be readily converted into cash.
So long as that situation' stood un
changed, new agricultural ideas could make
no substantial progress. Convinced though
they were that diversification was right in
theory, farmers naturally would not venture
to practice it when they knew there was no
accessible market for its products. It will
be recalled that some years ago, before im
provements in this matter had fairly begun,
Georgia went in for an unusually large
planting of sweet potatoes. Weather con*
ditione being favorable, the crop was most
bountiful, and those who had urged the ex
periment were in high feather. But when
it came to disposing of these hundreds of
thousands of bushels of sweet potatoes, the
growers found themselves in a hopeless pre
dicament. There were no established chan
nels of sale, no communications with cen
ters of demand, no storage accommodations
to take care of the enormous surplus after
domestic and local needs had been supplied,
no facilities for putting the producers, who
were eager to sell, into connection with the
consumers, who were equally eager to buy.
Inevitably, the larger part of the crop went
completely to waste; and the disappointed
planters, reckoning their heavy losses in
time, labor and money, resolved t 0 stick
closer than ever to cotton. Thus was a great
drive for diversification turned into a great
defeat, simply because due provision was
not made for storing and marketing.
It is happily evident, on the other hand,
that wherever this pivotal need has been pro
vided for, food production has found rich
reward and encouragement. Witness the
expansion of animal husbandry, following the
introduction of packing plants, and the high
profitableness of sweet potato production
itself, now that curing and storing plants
have been set up. Similarly effective has
been the steadily multiplying service of the
peanut and velvet bean mills, canning fac
tories and sundry other establishments which
afford convenient and dependable market for
food crops. As the latest advance in this
Important field the farmers’ co-operative
elevator at Dublin is peculiarly rich in prom

Hide and Skin Census.
THE Kreider bill, provding for a month
ly census of available hides and skins ■
in the United States, should commend
itself to the favorable consideration of Con
gress. Its author, at a recent hearing, urged
its passage because, as he said, it would
enable manufacturers of shoes and boots to
judge whether they are being charged exorbi
tant prices for leather. And so it would, but
it seems to us that Congressman Kreider, in
his argument, should have gone a step further
and added that the information contained in
such a census report would enable the public
—the wearers of boots and shoes—to tell
whether the manufacturers were reaping an
exorbitant profit on the output of their
plants.
It is assumed that in the event Congress
makes provision for a hide and skin census
the monthly reports will be published broad
cast, and such publication would afford the
public as w-ell as the shoe manufacturers
accurate information as to the available sup
ply of shoe material. The consumers will be
able, from this information, to form their
own judgment as to the reasonableness of
the prices they are forced to pay for their
footwear.
The compilation and distribution by the
Government of statistics relating to the sup
plies of raw materials in the United States
is a matter in which the public has a natural
interest. The Department of Agriculture has,
for many years, gathered and published fre
quent reports as to the available supply of
cotton, wheat and other cereals, and it is well
recognized that these statistics have a tre
mendous influence on the prices for which
these commodities sell. It seems just as rea
sonable for the Government to keep tab on
the hides and skins, and to inform the pub
lic as to the available supply at frequent in
tervals.
With respects to shoes and boots, it hasn't
been many months since the ever-increasing
price of leather was attributed to an alarm
ing scarcity of hides.
The public would have accepted this
explanation without question, had it not
been countered by reports that farmers in
certain parts of the country had large accumu
lations of hides, which they had been unable
to sell. These reports were unofficial, and.
while they did not operate to check the rise
in prices they created general dissatisfaction
among the consuming public. If the Gov
ernment had been engaged in the compilation
of a census of hides and skins and the Gov
ernment reports had confirmed officially the
presence of a large quantity of hides in the
hands of farmers, the rise in prices would
have been checked instantly.
QUIPS AND QUIDDITIES
Both stage ladies were after a job and the
booking agent had but one to offer. ‘-‘Sorry,”
he said. “It’s all I have that’s at all suited
to either of you and it will have to go to
the one with the most experience.
“I give up,” announced the younger of the
two. It’s her part- She dates back to the
time when eggs were so cheap the audiences
threw ’em at her.”
“You must have plenty of nerve,” said
Colonel Lookout. “The idea of stealing my
chickens and then trying to sell them to me!”
“Why, cu’nul, thought you’d pay a better
price for chickens you’d raised yourself,”
returned Johnson. “You'd know what you’re
buying.” J
READING FOR STUDY
By H. Addington Bruce
MANY people, when they sit down to
read a book for purposes of
study, make the serious mistake of
neglecting to safeguard themselves as far as
possible against conditions unfavorable to
concentrating the attention. This by itself
may be quite enough to account for the bar
renness of the results they obtain from their
study periods.
Thus, instead of isolating themselves in the
quietest room they can find, they may under
take to study in noisy rooms, even in a room
where other people are carrying on a lively
social conversation. For the average person
this is fatal to efficient study.
Unless the book being read is as fascinat
ing as a novel —and few' textbooks are—the
attention is sure to be distracted in some de
gree by what is going on around the reader.
Or, if isolation and quiet be secured, the
ability to concentrate may be affected ad
versely by faulty air or temperature condi
tions in the room chosen.
Students soon begin to yawn over their
books when reading in stale or stagnant air.
And they find it extra hard to keep their at
tention fixed in a room unduly hot or unduly
cold.
Experiments go to show that 68 degrees is
the ideal temperature for reading or study.
Yet the average student reads in a room sev
eral degrees higher than this.
Not a few students, too, needlessly increase
their difficulties by studying in clothing that
is too light to be comfortable. Attention is
then distracted by sensations of pressure,
which also hasten the onset of mental fatigue.
The same result follows reading in a poor
light, or when seated in a chair so poorly
constructed as to cause muscular strain. Not
only should the light be good, but care should
be taken never to sit facing it and not to
let it illumine the book so as to cause a glare
effect. .
Os course, however, the obtaining of favor
able physical conditions is by no means
enough to insure efficiency in study. Due re
gard must also be paid to the laws governing
mental action in general.
Which means, in especial, that the reading
should be done slowly, thoughtfully, critical
ly. In his admirable “How to Use Your
Mind ” Professor H. D. Kitson offers a sug
gestion valuable to all who would study to
best advantage: .
“Read through an entire paragraph of sec
tion, then close the book and write down in
your own words what you have read. Next,
take your summary and compare with the
original text to see that you have really grasp-
“This procedure will be beneficial in sev
eral ways./ It will encourage continuous con
centration of attention on an entire argu
ment It will help you to preserve relative
emphasis of parts. It will lead you to regard
thought and not words. .
Also it will notably assist remembrance of
what has been read. The deeper the> impres
sion made on the mind the greater the like
lihood of its being lastingly retained.
Which is why students who read hastily, or
without real thought to the meaning o! what
they read, soon forget the contents of the
b °Such students, in fact, are not studying in
any real sense of the word. They are read
ing as do those who wish merely to be enter
tained, and the ypay the penalty of rapid
obliviscence.

INTOLERANCE
By Dr. Frank Crane
Intolerance,. when the doctor uses the
word, is not the same as intolerance when
the preacher uses it-
Theologically intolerance means hostility
to an opinion that differs from mine. Medi
cally speaking, intolerance signifies the hos
tility of the body toward a certain medicine.
For instance, the doctor says: “In many
of the diseases in which the bromides find
their chief field of utility, it is often neces
sary to administer them for prolonged pe
riods and in considerable doses. This is no
ticeably so in cases of epilepsy and the va
rious neuroses. It is a matter of frequent
observation for patients thus treated to de
velop more or less intolerance to these drugs,
which manifests itself in certain phenomena
known as bromism. They consist chiefly in
the production of various cutaneous lesions,
especially of the type of acne and erythema,
which in some patients may give rise to con
siderable disfigurement of the face from pus
tule formation and pitting. In other in
stances, bromism reveals itself by disorders
of the central nervous system, which may
even develop to such an extent that the pa
tient cannot follow his regular vocation.”
The gist of which seems to be that a medi
cine will do good only about so long, then
the body strikes, antagonizes it and you have
to try something else.
In truth you can stand anything just
about so long, in soul or body. In all things
human there’s a limit.
Don’t forget that, Clarice. Os course,
Freddy loves you and all that, and likes your
petting and coddling, but remember about
that point of tolerance. Also he can stand
a certain amount of bossing and regulating
and enjoy it, but there’s a limit the wise wife
will not pass.
And, Freddy, she may like a bit of the cave
man stuff, and masterful, manly business,
but don’t push it until she develops intol
erance and begins to break out.
Rather an interesting idea, this of intoler
ance. Just where the saturation point is
located, in various cases, is worthy of note.
Just about one minute is all you can stand
from some people, and with others you feel
nausea when you see them coming.
Even to good things there’s a limit. The
English have a slang phrase that connotes it
—“Fed up.”
Pie is good, but past the third or fourth
helping it develops intolerance. Politeness is
as agreeable as pie, but there is such a thing
as overdoing that.
And isn’t there a mark beyond which the
following good and estimable things arouse
intolerance in us? These:
Gentleness, speechifying, self-assertion,
culture, help, visiting, suggestions, advice,
telling one things for one’s own good, criti
cism, optimism, flattery and preaching.
Blessed is the man, yea thrice blessed is
the woman, that knows when to stop.
(Copyright, 1920, by Frank Crane.)

CURRENT EVENTS OF INTEREST
Formal announcement of the sale of $50,-
000,000 of ten-year 7 per cent mortgage
bonds of the Pennsylvania Railroad company
to Kuhn, Loeb & Co. was made very recently.
The rate of 7' per cent w'as a surprise, but
it broke the deadlock in railroad financing
and the expectation is that the bonds will
sell at a premium within a short time.
It is not the first time that the Pennsyl
vania railroad has broken a deadlock in the
world of railroad financing. Back in 1908,
and again in 1915, the company paid more
than usual interest rate to make the re
sults of the financing a success.
Mrs. Mittie Cumming, charged with the
murder of her divorced husband, who was
shot to death in the street in Hampton, Va.,
his home, was acquitted a few nights ago by
a jury, which had deliberated four minutes.
The trial lasted only one day.
Mrs. Cumming’s former husband, S. Gordon
Cumming, a lawyer and former member of
the legislature, was killed February 7. Mrs.
Cumming told the jury she met him that day
and asked for money and that he threatened
to lock her up again.
“I don’t remember anything else,” she add
ed, “until I saw him lying on the pavement.”

For More Than Forty Years
Cotton Growers have known that
POTASH PAYS
More than 11,631,200 Tons of Potash Salts
had been imported and used in the United
States in the 20 years previous to January,
1915, when shipments ceased. Os this 6,460,-
700 Tons consisted of
KAINIT
which the cotton grower knew was both a plant
food and a preventive of blight and rust, —with
it came also 1,312,400 Tons of
20 per cent
MANURE SALT
which has the same effects on Cotton., but which was
used mainly in mixed fertilizers.
Shipments of both Kainit and Manure Salt have
been resumed but the shortage of coal and cars and
high freight rates make it more desirable to ship
Manure Salt, which CONTAINS 20 PER CENT OF
ACTUAL POTASH, instead of Kainit, which con
tains less than 13 per cent actual Potash.
MANURE SALT can be used as a side dressing
on Cotton in just the same way as Kainit and will
give the same results. Where you used 100 pounds
of Kainit, you need to use but 62 pounds of Manure
Salt, or 100 pounds of Manure Salt go as far as 161
pounds of Kainit.
MANURE SALT has been coming forward in
considerable amounts and cotton growers, who can
not secure Kainit, should make an effort to get
Manure Salt for side dressing to aid in making a big
Cotton Crop.
Muriate of Potash
50 per cent actual Potash, has been coming forward
als O) —100 pounds of Muriate are equivalent to 400
pounds of Kainit or 250 pounds of Manure Salt.
These are the three
Standard GERMAN P otash Salts
that were always used in making cotton fertilizers
and have been used for all these years with great
profit and WITHOUT ANY DAMAGE TO THE
CROP.
The supply is not at present as large as in former
years, but there is enough to greatly increase the
Cotton Crop if you insist on your dealer making the
necessary effort to get it for you.
