White County To Have r
<y Cheese Factory.
<y At meeting - of the farmers in
a
the court-house Saturday the or¬
ganization of the proposedCo-Op
erative Cheese Factory was effect¬
ed,'and upon Wednesday the com¬
mittee selected report upon sites
offered the factory made their re¬
port at a meeting held for that
purpose, and the site chosen was
that offered by Mr. E. B. Craven
near his mill. The water is to be
furnished by Col. A. H. Hender¬
son and Mr. Craven donating the
factory site and water. This dona¬
tion in the interest of this industry
manifests indeed a very benevolent
spirit and was received with deep
appreciation.
Those who subcribed to the
stock of this concern should get
ready to meet their obligation
promptly, If not already prepared
and those who have cotvs to per¬
suade their cows to give more milk
for more milk means more cheese,
and more cheese means more mon¬
ey to the pockets of the man who
milks'the cow.
Mr. Robertson, county agent,
has been very active in his efforts
to get this factory established, and
nowfsincejhe has been so far suc¬
cessful, he deserves the praise of
the farmers for his interest in their
behalf.

J, K. Kenimer Estimates Cost
Ot Keeping Good Roads
Leaf, Ga. March 8th, 1919.
People, I have thought in time
past that I would not have any¬
thing further to say on the road
question, but I wish to reply to our
Enlightning Cross Roads Corre¬
spondent a little. I wish to state
that I am no Chronic Kicker, but
you will find me always working
and doing all I can for the better¬
ment of our public roads, and will
always find me there, put that in
your pipe Correspondent, and smoke it.
Mr. you say that
us Chronic Kickers would kick at
direct Taxation, or Bonds, which
is absolutely untrue, as I favor and
always will favor any feasible
plan of road building other than
the present system now in force.
Put me to the test. I favor Direct
Taxation to raise money for road
building on property, aside from
the tax derived from each man of
road age. 1 am perfectly willing to
“tote” my part of lhe tax and I
challenge any man to prove my
position otherwise.
Mr. Correspondent, I am only
criticizing our system, not our
County, and I have never said that
our Commissioners could build
graded roads with a limited
amount of money. I know that
from actual observation that the
public roads can be graded and
maintained cheaper by the use of
uptodate machinery and the work¬
ing of convicts, than by the use of
such small crude, utensils, such as
the use of goose-necked hoes,
gopher plows as we now use.
Here is a good plan to adop't,
First eliminate all steep hills, cec
ond, do not quit the roads until
the center is at least 18 inches
higher than they are on the banks,
then the road will be permanent,
only requiring a round or two
with a good road scrape about
twice a year. When a road is prop¬
erly graded and bedded they can
be kept in fine shape with at least
one sixth the cost with the use of
good road machines manned by
convicts, than by the use of a few
small farm tools and free labor.
When roads tfre once properly
built one mile stretch of road can
be worked at about $4.00 mile ex¬
pense twice a year if we had the
Convict system, but under our
present system how much will it
cost to maintain a one mile stretch
oflUoad one year. Below I give an
aproximate itemized statement of
cost attached to the working of a
stretch of road for each mile under
our present system
1st One half day warning hands
$1.00 ;2nd, 10 hands$2.oo per day,
ao.oo; 3rd. Overseers charge 2.00;
4th. One team 2.00; total $25.00
twice a year, making a grand total
of $50.00 per mile each year cost.
I am informed that our authori¬
ties are contemplating hiring our
convicts to Fulton County at 50
per day, and then turn right
around and hire free labor at $2.00
per day. This is a disgrace, and I
say it openly. Can you see where
we are losing money? if not, why
can’t you?. authority
Of course I am no on
road building much, but 1 can ob¬
serve real facts as they are existing
in Habersham Co. where they
have never paid more than $5.00
per year road tax per man of road
age even the first yeaq that con¬
victs were worked and all the
stock and tools had to be p&id for,
and has been less eacn year s.nce,
as I am reliably informed. I ain
condemning our system from my
heart because I know it can be
remedied. I have my views which
is unchangable and I very gladly
concede to you the right of opin¬
ion. I am yours for a change in the
road system.
Yours Very Resp’y,
John K. Kenimer

Fred Paimer Writes From France.
Stigny, France.
Jan. 25, 1919.
Editor, Cleveland Courier*
Cleveland, Ga.
Dear Mr. Editor :
Please allow me a little space
in your colums to tell your readers
just a few things that I have ex¬
perienced in this war. 1 say a few
things, because I realize that the
half never will be told, I would
like to tell you about everything
from beginning to the end, but I
will begin with the morning of
Sept 26th when the Americans
started the real big offensive, and
will tell the other later.
When I was a child I heard
preachers give description of the
judgment and of the wonderful
things that would happen. After¬
wards, when I grew to be a man,
l thought that I would never see
such a thing as they described.
Just about midnight on 25th of
September we heard something
behind us like a low thunder,
such us you often hear in the
Southwest on a summer day. It
grew louder and louder. Pretty
soon we learned it was the reports
of American artillery about twenty
miles behind us. Even though the
officers never told us we knew
something was about to take pla;e
that meant destruction to thousands
of lives. We could hear something
going over our heads that we
knew to be large shells from our
artillery. They made a noise like
trains running over a bridge.
About 3 o’clock in the morning
artillery of all sizes was busy tell¬
ing the Germans why the Ameri¬
cans came to France. When all the
guns opened up and we started
over the top, I saw just exactly
what the preacher had told me
when I was a boy. 1 thought it
was judgment day. The whole
heavens were ablaze and the earth
trembled. Cries and groar.s could
be heard in every direction. My
comrades fell on both sides. When
night came we had driven the
Germans about fifteen miles. Our
officers told us that we had driven
the enemy from the gates of the
city of Verdun; a city that the
crown prince had given the lives
of over seven hundred and fifty
thousand men in a few hours while
trying to take it.
1 wish I could tell you more, but
writing paper is so scarce that we
dont get to write many letters
home as we would like. Before en¬
ding my letter I must tell you that
L have learned some very inportant
things, 1 have learned to love my
home and country better than I
have in tlie past. I think that
every man that has been through
the melting pot and come out alive
will return home with a resolution
to do better and live a different
life to what they have in the past.
The genejal cry among the boys
is, “1 want to go home.” I am
homesick for the first time in sev¬
eral years; maybe it would feel
different if there were some Geor¬
gia boys with me. I think some¬
times I am doing all the fighting
for White county as 1 have never
seen nor heard of them being over
here. Of course they are here but
I do not know where.
Well I hope to be back home in
time to celebrate July 4U1, and get
a square meal and good bed.
FRED PALMER.

May Have Bond Election To Build Roads
Last year 100,861 pounds of
poison bait were used by 1,703
cooperative farmers in Utah to
stop the enormous losses that have
been sustained annually from ro¬
dents in that State. This paison
was applied o'n 86, 104 acres of in¬
fested land, and the fanners re¬
ported 892,179 rodents destroyed
with an estimated saving in crops
of $702,368. Estimates of the sav¬
ing accomplished were made by
specialists of the Bureau of Biolog¬
ical Survey, United States Depart¬
ment of Agriculture, who aided
State and local workers in the en¬
terprise. Farm bureaus already
have ordered quantities of strych¬
nine to carry yti similar work in
the immediate future rnd have pre¬
pared to mix the poison bait at
centra! places and supply it to far¬
mers who agree to use it according
to directions and make reports of
results. The bureaus say that if the
work could be properly financed
mount of poison they now have.
Progressive Education.
By A. G. FERGUSON.
Education is what we may terms
a peculiar question. It is peculiar
in its height and depth: in its
length and breadth ; in its mani¬
fold bearings internally, upon the
relations' existing between body
and mind; and externally, in its
Application to the practical affairs
of life. It is wonderful to think of
the various directions that mental
may. take,.......It carries
us all at every passable tangent,
and no mind is capable of develop¬
ment along all these line6, in an or¬
dinary life-time. Hence, the neces¬
sity of specializing in EDUCA¬
TION. When we take into ac¬
count all these interdependencies in
the nature of the child, we are im¬
pressed with the importance of the
broad preparation necessary on the
part of the person who undertakes
“To teach the tender thought how
to shoot.” The teacher should
have a knowledge/not only of the
subjects to be taught, but also,
some knowledge, at least, of Psy¬
chology and Pedagogy, the science
of mind and theory of teaching :
It is not an easy task to give a
comprehensive definition of Educa¬
tion. The real object of Educa¬
tion should be to develop a strong
body, a strong character, to in¬
crease knowledge, to refine imagin¬
ation, to improve taste, and to pre¬
pare us for acting a part in life,
respectable and useful in itself, as
well as advantageous and honor¬
able to the public. Any system of
education that does not develop
physically, morally, socially and
mentally is defective.
The understanding is occupied
entirely about knowledge. The
end of all science is to instruct us
in knowledge; and the same end is
pursued by all study, whether
prudential, political, moral, or
iqechanical. In whatever way we
exert the understanding, it is to ob¬
tain some informatiom we did not
possess before.
Practical knowledge is power.

WHITE COUNTY BANK
People who succeed in saving money do so by
first forming the good habit of saving. It is easy
to form a habit, it is more than easy to form the
habit of spending but to save requires determined
cultivation, but when well rooted it grows fast.
Our bank will help you start the saving habit and
assist you to cultivate it. Our purpose is to make
this bank a material benefit to the community in
general and its patrons in particular. We would
be pleased to have your name on our books.
