FARMER’S “VICTORY WEEK”—MARCH 13-18
The week of March 13-1S has been proclaimed as “Victory
Week” in the campaign for co-operative cotton marketing in
Georgia. More than one thousand farmers from every cotton
producing county oi the state have ban 1 themselves together
by pledges, to devote all their time to the movement during this
“It Shall Go Over The Top” is t&feir slogan.
■ After the pool is complete.! the organization will be incor
porated as the Georgia Cotton o-operative Association,
and will function in the following eight ways:
1. It will grade ana staple every wale cf cotton delivered
to it. (This will place a true value oj the cotton in terms of
quality.) J
2. It will warehouse all cotton aejrvored to it by its mem
bers. (This will eliminate all country 1 damage.)
3. It will sell all of its cotton in ’ even-running lots, each
grade and staple within its own pc>pl. (This will assure a
higher price because the spinner is veiling to pay a premium
in order to secure cotton only of the WDd he desires. It will save
the profits of the middlemen and spedMstors.)
4. It will sell on its own samplelaiHl its warehouse certi
ficates. (This will prevent undorgradilj* and save t ie waste due
to unnecessary sampling, thus eliminating the entire “city crop.”)
5. It will sell collectively and onlj wb i the market de
mands. (This will reduce speculation ,a:id will tend to stabilize
prices.) i
6. It will sell cotton as directly as possible to the spinner
and the exporter. (This will shorten tie route from the farm to
the mill.)
7. It will endeavor to determine tlfe true cost of production
each year. (This will have a bearing toward getting fair prices.)
.8 It will encourage the productioii of uniform and standard
varieties by communities. (This will tend to improve the quality
and value of the cotton grown.)

Good Roads Before
People.
Atlanta, Ga., March 15,—The
Georgia Good Roads Association
has planned to have the matter
of .the proposed $75,000,000 road
bond issue presented at the
spring term of court in everry
countv in the state, and at the
district meetings of the state
federation of women’s clubs, ac
cording to T. C. Farmer, Jr.,
managing director of the good
roads association.
We regard the good roads bond
issue as the most important piece
of legislation coming before the
next legislature, and we have no
doubt of its passage, if we can
get the people informed as to its
benefits, said Mr. Farmer in an
interview today. Inquiries con
cerning the plan have come in
from every section of the state at
such a rate that we have had to
increase our office force to han
dle the correspondence. We are
sending to each inquirer a little
good roads primer and chart,
showing how the bonds will be
floated and retired, and answer
ing every question a voter could
ask regarding bond plan.
Sentiment is rapidly crystaliz
ing in favor of the bonds and by
the time the legislature meets we
expect to see the issue so papu
lar that no one can be found who
would dare lift his voice to long
er keep Georgia in the mud.

Drowned on Sunday.
Monday morning Mr. Orville
Moss, who lives at the M. H.
Trammell Id place, two miles
east of town, received a telegram
from his daughter, Mrs. J.E.Bol
iver, of Hickory Ridge, Ark,,
that her husband was drowned
on Sunday, and requesting Mr.
Moss to come. He was not well,
however, and could not go, but
wired her to come with the bodv
to Duluth and he would meet her
there.
It is not kno.vn how the acci
dent occurred. It was a surprise
to learn that Mr. Boliver was
drowned, for he was known here
as a good swimmer, "cry active
in water. He worked last year
with the dredging crew on Big
Creek and made many friends
here. It was on the 13th of last
February that he and Miss Ruby
Moss were married.—Alpharetta

The real is seldom as beautiful or enticing as the imagined.
We picture a foreign country —Italy or Southern France, for
instance—and we combine the bluest skies we have ever
seen with the most exhilarating climate, the most picturesque
and interesting towns, the most piquant people,together with
other characteristics which we have heard connected with
the region, all in exaggerated form. When we come to see
the leality we are disappointed because, not only have we
failed to take into consideration the disagreeable elements,
which are always mingled to a certain degree with the more
agreeable in all parts of the earfli, but we have also in our
minds, enlarged upon the virtues to such an extent that no
actuality could approach them.
It is for this reason that plans and dreams preceding an oc
casion often surpass in pleasure the occasion itself. So, if
we have not the money to taste all the luxuries of life or to
travel to foreign ports, we can at least plau on having the
opportunity some day, and out of our plans will, perhaps, get
more pleasure than our more opulent neighbor derives from
experiencing the actuality. We can read and dream of moon
light nights under the willowy trees of the South Sea Islands,
with the crooning of native melodics, accompanied by 1 soft
lapping of waves on pebbly beaches, lulling us into drowsi
ness. If we were to visit the South Sea Islands wonld we
experience the same sensations, or would we complain of
the supidity of the natives and the difficulty of securing tour
ist accommodations? At any rate, the pleasure we derive
from our dreams is not marred by any of the inconveniences
of travel. So, when the wind howls against the window
panes, fortunate indeed is the person who has the power to
transport his spirit to the balmy shores of the South Sea Isl
ands.
There is glory in the meanest job if you only look at it in
the right light. The story is told of three men who were
breaking up stones for the building of a cathedral. A passer
by approached the first man and asked him what he was do
ing. “Can’t you see?” was the answer. “I’m breaking
stones.” The second man, upon being asked the same ques
tion replied, “I’m earning six dollars a day.”
The enquirer then approached the third man and put the
question to him, teceiving the reply, “I am building a cathe
dral.”
The same thing holds throughout life and makes it a drab
or as gay affair as the case may be. It is your own attitude
that counts —whether you are looking for the good things or
the bad, which reminds one of two lines of a poem by Rob
ert Lous Stevenson.
“Two men looked out from prison bats.
The one saw mud and the o'her saw stars.”
Occasionally’ when vve are ferced through a failure of the
electric current, to use lamps or candles vve make a fearful
to do about it. We cannot see to work, vve cannot see to
read. In fact, the world fairly stops moving until vve have
our electric lights back again.
At such a time vve can appreciate the fearful odds that our
grandfathers worked against when electricity was only one
of the modern conveniences which they did not have. And
the certainly did not lead mediocre lives but became great in
spite of odds.
Some of our young people would do well to reflect upon
the trials which Abraham Lincoln had in the matter of stud
ying and reading. Many times without even a candle he did
his work by the open grate fire. Would our young people
today get as fai as they do under the same conditions that
Lincoln worked? Well, yes, they probably would but they
would undoubtedly waste at least a year talking about their
troubles. No doubt they have troubles today but the ones
they make the greatest fuss about tu*n out to be not the real
troubles at all.
