Cleveland needs a toilet for
Ladle*, and needs it now. Lets
get busy and build it.
The legislature passed a three
cest tax on gasoline. This will
enable the Highway commission to
apend 3 million dollars annually
on.road work. That’s fine, but
wouldn’t it be great if they could
only.spend 50 million?
The highway commission has
^ exonerated and commended
by the special investigating com¬
mittee appointed by the legislature
'Pbi* paper advocated an investi¬
gation, and that investigation was
made. Now whether they were
guilty of the many charges made
against them or totally innocent,
it becomes oqr duty to ask our peo¬
ple to tiand behind the highway
commission in building Georgia a
chain of highways that will make
her in line with other states.
Tfus paper did not think the
Highway Commission was exactly
giving the people of Geergia their
juft earned rights, but since that
body has been exonerated by the
legislative committee we will let
by gone be by gone and work for
more and better roads for this
mountain country.
Continually knocking gets one
su> where. What we want to see
ie a real highway across the Blue
Ridge above Robertstowu. We
can get it if we go after it. What
are you doing? Watch our pre¬
diction and see if this road isn’t on
(ho map- inside of one year.
There is one particular interest
lag thing about President
Cooiidge which conclusively proves
ho has the peopl’s great interest at
heart. That is : he prefers to leave
oil of the fine oratory to somebody
«Ue. The Georgian refers to him
as being stingy with enghsh.
The legislature passed a 10%
tern on cigarettes and cigars, winch
wilt iret around two million dollars
to pay the Confederate soldiers.
Also they appropriated enouglt to
make the additions to the sorely
weeded tuberculosis sanitorium and
a very essential department to the
Georgia Tech, ceramics. There
were 740 bills before the legislature
Hon. Hal M, Stanley, Commis
M«lier of .Commerce and Labor,
Atlanta, was a caller at The Couri¬
er’* office Wednesday afternoon.
Mr. Stanley is one of Georgia’s
most outstanding public men—one
who is loved and respected. He is
past president of the Georgia Press
Association and naturally cannot
pass a brother editor laboring in¬
cessantly without giving him n call
This is Mr. Stanley’s first visit
to White count)' and he is more
than delighted with our wonderful

Stanley, together with his wife
and daughter, are spending the
weak at the Mitchell Mt. Ranch.
Governor Walker will announce
within a few days the date for the
extraordinary session of the General
Assembly of Georgia.
The reason for this extra session
is to study, remedy and enact laws
for Georgia’s taxes.
Wa know the Governor has a
tremendous task facing him, and
«sm that deserves the most earnest
thoughtful consideration of every
citixeu of Georgia, yet we do fully
well knew that unless every mem¬
ber of the General Assembly firmly
resolves to go to that extra session
to accomplish something of a
worth while nature, their time will
ba til spant and a burdeu resting
this great Commonwealth,
Why spend $2,000 a day for the
to “shoot” their hot
guns of remedying the taxes of
and giving free school
to all children. To our
the Governor is very bad
in giving free school books
every child in Georgia
We are certainly for a reform of
tax law, provided there
more justice given the “little
fellow”, and this should be their
aim and purpose.
There seems to be much senti¬
ment in favor of the classification
tax system of Kentucky and the
income tax system as now in force
by the Faderal Government. We
all know the entangible properties
need to be taxed, but be very
cautions, Gentlemen of the General
assembly, that the “little fellew” is
not “stepped on” in the changing
of Georgia’s tax laws. Who elects
the members of the General As¬
sembly? Then, why don’t the
majority get some service!
Will free school books help the
“little fellow” ?

The genial editor of the Mays

that the saying: “an apple a da)

but “an onion a day keeps the

Well, that may be absolutely
true, but there is one thing that no
one can question, and that is the
familiar and lasting odor of the
onion is five times more than the
apple.

It seems to us that if the Indians I
were successful in making settle-j

The migration of the negro
the North is alarming to those
ple who have been dependent
on him for his labor on tue
This question is not of such
importance to this immediate
tion, hence it has not been
sary for us to become deeply
ested in that question. We do
that our readers should give
matter a little thought to say
least.
We honestly believe that
exodus of the negro to the North
a wonderful blessing to the
cultural progress and
of the South. Our reasons
this is because of the progress
renewed energy of the South
the freeing of the slaves,
The main reason the South
not gone forward in
developments as comparative
other sections of this great
is that our farms have been
or less dependent on the negro
hired labor. Such labor has not
made the South agriculturally.
Naturally such labor was cheap
labor, and to a great extent, that
attributes to the disorganization
the farmers of the South and
naturally a low price for his pro¬
ducts.
The migration will necessiute a
new life in a measure. In that
the land owner selling off his
1 rge holdings and enabling easnest
progressive white farmers to own a
home of his own. When more
white farmers own their farms you
will then see a change from cotton
as the one crop to hay, meat lard,
canned goods, milk, poultry, cheese
etc., of which we now import so
much ; will take better care of the
soil; and will take more interest in
the rural social and community
life, rural education und general
rvral progress.
Moreover, this will not only
greatly help the white fanners of
the South, but thrifty and enter¬
prising negroes will also receive the
