makes him appear in the eyes ot the

was being driven a'c a speed that
violated the traffic law of Jones
boro, which was made for the pro
tection of the people of that town,
which is located on one of the most
traveled highways in the State, it
was the duty of the officer to have
the automobile stopped, and summon
th© driver for trial before the proper
authorities. Mr. Legge should re
spect him for performing his duty.
Tut! tut!! tut!!! Mr. Legge we
feel a little ashume of you, for you
have proven yourself not to be as big
a man as we thought you were.
FORTY YEARS AS EDITOR OF
|THE UNION-RECORDER
Almost the entire life cf the Senior
Editor has been spent in The Union-
Recorder office, for forty years ago
this month he became a-.-ociated with
his father, tho late Mr. Jero N.
Moore in publishing the paper, and
since that time with the exception of
four years his cam. has been at thc
nviyt head. Prior to that time Ik*
stuck type and did odd jobs in the
of lire.
Dur:
hi* thought, time, energy. an,t vSI
tal-nt he had towards making The I
Union-Recorder a newspaper which
would be a credit to Milledgeville
and Baldwin county, and to con-1
tribute to thc progies
ltuation as seen through the eye of
one absolutely capable of giving ad
vice, not only because of months of
acquired information, hut because he
has proven himself a success in every
undertaking he has entered.
Mr. Legge said very frankly “Feed
Georgia.” Could there be any state
ment with more sound judgment and
real sensible advice. He showed the
wisdom of this .statement by quoting
from a recent survey which showed
that millions of dollars worth of but
ter, eggs ft ad vegetables were shipped
into this state each year. Henry
Grady made the statement many
years ago which was in substance
this, until farmers learn to feed their
own people, agriculture will not be
a r.ucccss.
The address was filled with sound
business advice. It had the note of
a business executive advising with his
employe-.-1 regarding policies to be
adoptcJ in order that a profit could
be realized. There were no outbursts
of oratory in this address, no vicious
attacks on others for agriculture’s
failure, but an even tempered, de
liberate, logical, frank statement of
conditions as they were found by
the Federal Farm Board. It was not
the address of a politician who was
trying to make the people believe he
was a great savior and by the wave
ol a mag : c wand he could cure their
ills, nor did he wnnt it to appear that
he was a .great disciple sent here to
lift the fanner out of his rut, hut

goods. What the farmer wants Is

supply more plant food for a dollar
than low-grudo goods. Manufac

to meet the demand for a cheap

least place them under some sort of
traffic regulations.
Frequently the dummy comes
through the intcrcscction of Hancock
and Wayne street at a rapid rate of
-peed and it has never been known
to stop at one of the stop signs. Last
week an automobile engine wa-
choked on the track just as the driv-
tr started to turn into Wayne street.
The driver evidently thought the
dummy would stop at the sign as all
other traffic is required to do and
he narrowly avoided having his car
•mashed into pieces os the engine
rushed on.
Thc Council should pass rigid
traffic laws to govern the dummy or
else there is going to be a terrible
accident written in Milledgeville.
There is no excuse to allow this train
to go through the streets at twenty-
five ard thirty miles an hour. Down
by G. M. C. where children are cross
ing frequently, the train always picks
up speed. The Council should stop
it now and avoid the later tragedy.

President of the organization brought
before the body as speakers, men
who are more interested in agricul

exspoused will find root and thc
uus secretaries will take these
sages back with them to their
niunitics.
There is very little difference in
tile fairs of the ftate. All of them
are leaning a bit too much to the
amusement side and not giving
enough attention to the instructive
side. It would be well that each fair
association in the state think thia
statement over. The Fair should
build community spirit ,it should be
in pirational to the fanner, it should
teach him many things and at the
close ideas gained should be of great
benefit to each fanner in making up
his program for the year.
Would a short course of instrhe-

chlthre help the farmer? Each day
various topics could be treated. Poul

its problems, preparing the milk and

If we are misunderstood and are

when he lost one.
Good health and a good name is

So we should rejoice in hope, strug
