Oof good friend, Hon. Frank
Holden, of Athens, will make the
pace for Congress against Congress¬
man Cha*. Brand of the Eighth
^District. Frank is an ex-service
f|nan and of is the now Georgiu a very prominent House of
-tnembtr
ft*pi««eniatives.
Congress will adjourn June 7 by
consent of President Coolidge.
To our opinion, Mr. Coolidge
wakes a wise suggestion. He has
*'« devote his time toward politics.
Hon. Herchel Elders gave out to
the press Monday his formal plat¬
form as a candidate for Governor
of Georgia, in which he is for the
re({tal of the tax equalization law,
limitation of city and county tax
Pates to fifteen mills by constitu¬
tional amendment opposition to
“any bond issue for roads or any
other purpose,” any radical change
an the various courts of justice of
the state. He declares that the
•chief “plank” in his platform will
t>e**economy and tax reduction,”
To take the place of the adva
Jorero tax he advocates an inherit¬
ance tax and luxury tax. He says
ktutt the tax for education should
tie raised by the county instead of
the State and that the tax should
only be sufficient to run schools,
i II* opposes the income tax.
i IJe stands that that a $400 cur
silmeild pay the same auto tag
licepse as a $4,000 car. (This
Seems to us an error, as the tax is
Sset the same now.)
^ Auyway Mr. Elders says he will
make a thorough canvus of the
state and will explain his platform
to the people.
The address of Hon. John T.
Botfeuillet at the school auditorium
last Saturday was a masterpiece.
1 He particularly emphasized the
necessity of the schools, especially
did he stress the dire importance ot
4 be country schools, which unfor¬
tunately too often cannot meet the
problems that fret and cause so
much vexation. These country
schools are the most vitally impor
taut factor in the problem of edu¬
cation in America. It is so in
Georgia and justly true in White
County.
The Courier thinks that the most
of our great men come from the
rural sections. It is in the rural
eection where life is seeming'y more
real and that attached with the en¬
vironment and a task for youth to
constantly do, and deprived of the
ttivilona things connected with city
life gives him an added impetus to
attain for himself something worth
while during his stay here on this
planet. However, if the student of
the country school stops his train¬
ing there he has put himself to a
distinct disadvantage in after life
witb those of his neighbors who
have gone through the college.
- Mr. J. B. Nevin editor of the
Atlanta Georgian, furnishes us this
information :
It is rather startling to learn that
so visualizing the chances of suc¬
cess that a youth may have, it is,
broadly speaking, a fact that the
youth with Mb college education
bos only one chance in 150,000 of
performing distinguished
Whereas the youth with a college
education has approximately
limes that chance !”
To gain a success in life one
OMNit fight valiantly for it. This
light can be done much better if
(he youth makes his charge with a
college education as bis defense.
“Doubt is the key of knowledge,
He who never doubts never exam
♦oes. He who never examines die-
nothing. He who discovers
nothing is blind and will remain
so.”—Bolingbroke.
He eloquently stressed the need
of the study of the word of God
for a men to soar the lofty peaks
that leads to mystic fame and
glory.
Mr. BoifeuiUet’* wonderful use
of english ; his knowledge of things
generally; hi* distinct, clear and
forceful delivery places him among
the famous orators of our land.
By example and precept Mr.
BoifeuiUet lives the life he tells
others to live. He is truly a great
and good man. Georgia should
honor him to a more exaulted office.
The people of Cleveland and
White County were indeed honored
by his coming and making such a
wonderful and inspiring address.
The Oeorgia delegation to the
Democratic convention in New
York, which consists of 56 dele¬
gates, men and women, will go by
