Next week we hope to present a group of senior players, following with a group of female players if Urban Jordan can get them to smile with a golf stick in their hands long enough to make a picture of them. Slop This ancl Watch Conyers Grow la spite of the fact that Conyers and Rockdale county go to make up an ideal community in which to live, it seems that we are hell heat on "Saving the Freight" by an ever in creasing patronage of bussers, truck ers, Atlanta merchants and other out side interests. Remember this, these outside interests are not saving you any freight or anything else, neither are they interested in financing your lehurches or anything else, nor do they render yon a better serv cie than your own home institutions can and are rendering. For several years Conyers have been listed by the American Press Review as a news pa|ier grave yard—however, the Rock dale Record has removed that tomb stone and we are now listed as one of the foremost weeklies of the South, This change came about by reason of the cooperation of our people in their splendid patronage and we expect to cooperate and light with and for them every time we go to press. As an example of wlmt is killing Conyers, lowering her standard of liv ing and ability to remain self sustain ing, we must mention names backed up with facts hereafter and for this week we point you to a recent net of our school superintendent in going to Atlanta to purchase stage furniture for the auditorium without giving our local furniture dealers an opportunity to even bid on it. There are several reasons why this public property should have been bought through local merchants. In the first place, our merchants pay the superintendent’s salary and why should lie smite the hand that feeds him. Another outstanding reason why he should have bought it in Con yers or at least given them an oppor tunity is the fact that they have fur nished absolutely free of charge, all stage furniture used in the various school plays put on during the last twelve months, even went to the trou ble and expense of hauling it up there and bringing it back to tlie store and standing all loss due to bruises and breakage. An Atlanta merchant listed the table to our superintendent for forty dollars less a certain discount. Even if the discount was one-fourtli off, our dealers claim they could have still under bid the price paid by twelve dollars. It is not a .matter of profit involved with our merchants they would have handled it at cost, but if they furnish free furniture for our school entertainments, it is ungrate ful for those in authority to take the money so raised and put somebody else’s furniture up there. It is poor leadership and yet, everybody seems to lie doing it in one way or another. Stick to your community, first, last and always. Now That You Have Graduated, What Next Twenty young people received their diplomas last week and today they are fact to face with greater prob lems. Four years from now when they have graduated again, they will be face to face with still greater prob lems and so it is in life’s journey— the greater your capacity, the greater will he the problems. The Conyers school closed with an unusually strong program with Bishop Warren A. Candler delivering the Bac calaureate address Sunday preceding the literary address Friday of last week by Mr. S. R. Ramsey. And by the way, Mr. Ramsey is one of the most interesting speakers we have had in many years, and the seniors receiv ed a great deal more than their di plomas at his hands in addition to which the following awards were made: The D. A. R. Gold Medal for the best 7th grade history went to jim Bob Huff. The $5.00 gold piece for best chemistry, donated by Dr. Cannon, went to Miss Olive Mitcham. For second and third place chemistry record Miss Mary Hewlett awarded to Ora Guinn and Ralph O’Neal each a $2.50 gold piece. Sara McDowell won a sixth grade prize, while Evelyn Left wieh won a third grade prize. Under the direetoin of Miss Ola Mann the senior play, "Hearts Con tent,” went over nicely to a large house, netting the class more than fifty dollars with which to defray class expenses. The Henson Furniture company complimented the class by furnishing attractive stage furniture for the occasion. Our hoys and girls are now face to face with a three months’ vacation. Beware young people that you spend those days wisely. Don’t loaf to the extent of being a lounger. Be sure to do some good turn daily even if its for your parents, many of whom are fight- THE ROCKDALE REgukij, i uNYERS, GEORGIA A Demonstration of Rockdale Vegetables Messrs. J. 11. and Frank Fuderwood brought in a wagon load of choice vegetables lasi week that Would have been a credit to Florida or any other section of our great country. Turnips with beautiful salad that weighed four pounds per hunch of four tur nips. Great quantities of tender squash. Hamper baskets full of snap beans and beets that were beautiful to behold. In addition to these with which they furnished our people through, local merchants, they brought In potato plants, butter and eggs ga lore. Home of us are having a hard time getting a stand of cotton, and have long faces about so much rain and all that, hut these two men arc harvesting bountifully while waiting for it to quit raining. We should learn that some things flourish with lots of rain and plant some of those things. Tom Huston Peanut Cos. Could Not Be Bought Four million dollars would buy enough peanuts for the Yale-Grorgia football game over at Athens Hi,is fall, but it did not buy the Tom Huston Peanut Cos., over at Columbus, (la., last week. Tom Huston told ’em he knew what to do with peanuts but wouldn’t know what to do with four million dollars. A steaming liol whistl ing peanut roaster always did attract our attention, but heretofore we never thought much of the nut who took our nlckle. Come to think of it. twenty nickels make a dollar, and eighty mil lion niekies wouldn’t buy Tom’s pea nuts. Why bless your heart, we'd sell the Rockdale Record for les’n that many ni kies.

Franz Schubert died and left great riches to the world —the riches of beauty translated through the glorious medium of music. Those who came to look into Ihe attic of Schubert de clared that he had died in poverty, lie was the poor figure of financial tragedy. Lately a hit of his manu script sold for $5,000. But that does not establish his wealth. The great riches he left are for those who can appreciate them. Men may die with out money, but they need not die in poverty in the larger sense.—Grove Patterson in the Mobile Register. Slay Stone-Eating Germs Chemical warfare is being waged on germs that are literally eating up big buildings. Scores of organisms that oat stone and oilier substances have been discovered. Chemicals are sought that will slay the germs without des troying the materials. The germs open the pores, in the surface, exposing the material to the destructive influence of the weather. Some bacteria cause erosion in the hardest marble in three weeks. An Eye for Color A little girl recently skinned her knee and her mother promptly applied a bright-colored antiseptic. Several days later the mother served cold meats aud catsup. The little girl, seeing her father generously helping himself to catsup, demanded: “Mother, l want some meat vvitli ruer curochrome on it.” Bib Falk Tells Why He Is Glad to Be Indian Bill Falk, the lean Texan who used to play plenty of out hold for tiie White Sox when lie happened to feel like it, Ims more than one reason for rejoicing In his trade to the Indians. His first is that he thoroughly hated the Chicago management, llis second is that lie likes linger Peckinpaugh, ids former teammate, and wants to play ball for him. His third is that ho is joining tlie club that has two of the six good southpaw pitchers In tiro league, for he doesn’t like to hit against southpaws. “I’m sure glad I’ai on your side,” he told Joe Shaute and Walter Miller. “Now there’s only Peunock and Wal berg left, and they say Pennock’s arm may be gone.” Manager McGraw Has His Pitching Staff Intact Manager McGraw tins his 1928 pitch ing staff intact and expects Carl Ilub hell, who joined the Giants late in the season, to declare dividends on his ex perience gained under major league lire. Hubbell will be a starting pitcher with Larry Benton, Fred Fitzsimmons, Joe Genewich and Dutch Henry, a southpaw who seems to have regained his earlier form. Carl Mays, the veteran underhand performer, may join the group as his arm has recovered at least a part of Its old cunning. John Scott, another veteran, will be a valuable man in re lief roles and Curly Ogden lias shown well. A merry battle Is being fought out by (lie recruits with the end not yet in sight. Theoretical Dollar The term “compensated” or “sta bilized dollar” was coined by Prof. Ir ving Fisher of Yale in his book, “Sta bilizing the Dollar.” It; is a theoreti cal dollar having a constant purchas ing power. The theory of (lie com pensated dollar is to convert the pres ent gold standard Into a true com modity stnndard—that is, to standard ize the dollar as a unit of purchasing power. Thus, there would he a gold dollar of constant purchasing power with varying weight instead of a gold dollar of standard weight and varying purchasing power.
