JUST A MATTER OF GOOD
BUSINESS
(SylvetRer Local)
We still hear a lot of discussion t
people leaving, the farms. Over
half million farmers move
last year. This is causing
pie living in town a great deal of
worry. The farmers probably had a
good reason for moving to town,
probably moved to town where there
are factories. They can make n bet
ter living working in the factory
than fighting boll weevils on the
farm. It the present late of mov
ing continues in -a short time this
country will have one hu.idri l mil
lion people in the cities and towns
and twenty-five million people in the
country. That will mean less com
petition for the farmers and more
consumer* for them to feed. The
fanner who can’t make n respectable
living ought to quit nnd move to
town. Farming is never profitable

GIVE THEM THE GATE
(Lavonia Times)
At frequent intervals the city and
section are over-run with peddlers,
pen- canvassers, house-to-house hawkers
.and solicitor*, many of whom pay
licenses, no taxes and tempt purchas
ers with unfilled promises. Many of
them sell articles that cun be bought
from Lavonia stores for lesu money
than they charge; their wares an
ten folowed by disappointmnet und
dissatisfaction on the part of the pur
chaser, who, unilke when dealing
with local merchants, have no
courwe but must fake their medicine
for the pedldcr is here today and
il! be.
On the other hand, there have been
instances in which solicitors have dis
played fine samples, priced attrac-
ely and offered as unusual barga-
(, and asked for an initial deposit
the order, only to disappear and
the order never be filled.
To perpetuate prosperity in unj
community we must have considera
tion for our local stores and indus
tries. By giving them our undivid
ed support and patronage, bring
them and the community which they
serve *o faithfully and so wi
a share of this era of prosperity
which we are enjoying throughout
the land.

Health got a alight increase for Its
work, the Alto Tuberculosis Sanato
rium got all it asked for. the Grace-
ood Feeble-Minded School received
$25,00o increase, but no additional
buildings wore provided. The Vital
Statistics law was reinstated under
tided Constitution, and we
should now bend every effort towards
getting Georgia into the registration
area as quickly as possible. The gift
of the Masons of Georgia of a cottage
for tubercular children at Alto was
accepted by the Legislature with the
obligation to perpetually maintain It.
The details of the transaction were
placed in the hands of the State Board
of Health with the committee from
the Grand Lodge.
