In an editorial headed. "Bewa
of hate”, the Dawson News wi
says: "Hatred is one of the me
damnable sins in existence. It profi
less and does more harm than mo
any known sin. The heart that hat'
suffers most. Often times the oi
hated h net aware o? it. Hatred
like
: the life .
the one who hates. It robs one of
many pleasant hours. It takes away
nil pleasure. It poisons the mind, the
thoughts and aspirations. Beware of
hate as you would fear death it
self.”
EDITORS NOTE—This is the third
of a series of articles contributed

Many fine and noble enterprises
engage the a't.ention of Milledgc-
ville and Baldwin county citizens.
We are deeply concerned about the
physical and mental well being, not
alone of our own people, but of
every individual in the entire State.
The effort to solve the many prob
lems growing out cf a poor adjust
ment to life has been one of the 1
major enterprises carried on in our
ipidst for many generations. We
have witnessed, as perhaps no other
community, the great tragedy at
tending a poor adjustment to life
by the invidual. It is but natural
that long ago we turned to educa
tion as the one great hope in pre
venting ooor adjustments and to en
able us to wisely deal with the al
ready existing mal-adjustment.
Milledgevillc Is justly proud of
the fine achievements of all its in
stitutions and is happy ir. th”
thought that they have been placed
here and have found a good en-
vironement in which to servo. There
is however a peculiar pride and fine

SOME VERY PLAIN FACTS

The Senators and Congressmen

speak in Georgia during his annual
visit to this State during Thanks
giving week, and he will be their
guest. In leaving Governor Tal-

his policies. Ho has denounced them ] pTfarimia I»That con(Tnocd'pro'vth

We cannot understand how Governor
being led into the belief that the
plans of the government for farm
relief are unjust, unfair, and in fact
almost traitorous.” says the Thomas-
ville Times-Enterprise. That is too
true, and pity ’tis true. The politi
cal demagogs who are preaching
from every rostrum and through all
the mediums of publicity that will
carry their traitorous fulminations,
are doing something that is bound
to react disastrously to them from
a political standpoint.
Here in Georgia we have a gov
ernor who is traipsing about over
the country proclaiming that if the
processing tax were taken from cot
ton that the price would advance
the amount dl the tax. or more. The
proposition on thp face of it is a
monstrous absurdity. The thing that
makes cotton cheop is abundance—
overproduction—and that is what
ve have. Remove all the controls
md the price will inevitably go
down to five or six cents. A gram-
grade pupil would know that
much, yet the political demagogs
preach it, believing that the controls
will not be removed, and they can
get by proclaiming it and at the
ame time make some headway
vith certain classes, and secure some
upport that they otherwise would
not. Where there is a republican
contingent they know that it will
be made safe for them, for there is
no discounting the fact that a re
publican. in this state, is. like the
leopard, changeless as to spots, while
the fanatical followers of a fanatic
are also no more changeful than the
one they arc following.
Continuing, the Thomasville paper
says, "There have been a number of
virile leaders who have sounded the
call for opposition and arc making
i the rounds of the country to scare
the farmers o»* cajole them into
antagonism to the Roosevelt ad
ministration on the basis of its AAA

They knew that if it is eliminated it

person, to take his word for it, does
not know why he belongs to a cer

He has never thought through to its
logical conclusion the philosophy to
which he subscribes.
As a man thinketh. so does a na
tion think. As a nation thinks, so
is it. The nations of the world
thrught for years in terms of mili
tarism, commercial rivalry, secret
treaties, jealousy, suspicion, and in
trigue. The most destructive war the
world has yet known seemed neces
sary in order to change the think
ing of the world.
Now our civic responsibility and
humanitarian obligations tell us that
must think in terms of arbitra
tion. love, service and universal
peace.
Let us continue to change our
thinking. It is time our thoughts
leaped from armaments to the per
sonal needs of man. The unemploy
ed. the tired, the hungry, the illiter
ate must be helped and saved. Crime
must be overpowered. Children must
be given the right to live the best
of lives.
The contagion of sound thinking,
cf sincerity, integrity, and moral
courage can save our civilization.—

THE WAY TO HAPPINESS
(By Grenville Kleiser)
To be strong and true: to be gen
erous in praise and appreciation of
others; to impute right motives even
to enemies: to give without expecta
tion of return: to practice humility,
tolerance, and sell-restraint: to make
the best use cf time and opportunity:
to keep the mind pure and the
iudument charitable; to extend in
telligent sympathy to those in dis
tress; to cultivate quietness and non-
resistance; to speak little and listen
much; to adhere always to a high
standard of thought and conduct; to
grow daily in grace, goodness, and
gratitude; to earnestly seek truth
and righteousness: to work, love,
pray, laugh and serve daily; to as
pire greatly, labor cheerfully, and
take God at his word—this is the
way to happiness.
Nature is beginning to get busy
with her paint brush as the tang of
fall is in the aif and soon the wood
lands will be a thing of beauty.
