The Public Mind.
fhe prosperity of our Country
and the success and value of all
business, industries and enter
prises depend largely on the at
titude of the public.
“The public mind” is made up
in the aggregate of every shade
of thought from placid conserv
atism to the rankest forms of ul
tra-socialism preached on the
street corners.
Any one who will make a trip
across the continent, or travel
from Canada to the Gulf of Mex
ico must become an optimist and
gain increased faith in the in
tegrity and fair minded-ness oi
the peple at large.
The magnitude and variety of
business interests and all forms
of production, from agriculture
and lumberipg to manufaetdring,
banking, public utilities and
transportation, mining and ship
ping, working in. open private
competition and yet under con
trol of government, are a reve
lation of genius to make an in
telligent person proud and pat
riotic.
It must not be forgotten that
back of all this great manifesta
tion of power, intelligence, har
mony and stability is the “public
mind” the consciousness of the
commonwealth, founded on well
informed, clear thinking citizen
ship, thaf is not easily led astray
by vicious leaders or confused
sophistries. The public mind i3
the greatest national asset.

Crude Thoughts and Recent
Occurences.
By Leon Livingstone.
After another “brief” absence
of several weeks I will try il
again,
Not much happening in this
part. Most everyone is making
use of the fine weather for gath
ering their crops.
The boll weevil ha3 taken a
very large toll of the cotton this
time, and as yet the actual dam
age cannot be accurately estimat
ed, but when the picking is fin
ished we believe it will be seen
that they have done their part to
perfection.
Mrs. W L Chadwick and son.
Hugh, and Mrs. Anuie Hilde
brand, of Atlanta, spent several

friends in this part.

children, Mrs. Gladys Martin and
baby, Mrs. W L Chadwick and
son, Mrs. Annie Hildebrand and
Miss Grace Pirkle.
Mr. A G Pirkle and family
spent Sunday with relatives at
Norcross.
Not only did the bean beetle
play havoc with the beans, but
they did considerable damage to
the pea crop as well.
Everything seems to indicate
that fall of the year is now ap
prbaching. As one walks out in
early morning, there are numer
ous signs before him that it is
now here. We hear the hum oi
the cotton gins, we see the but
terfly lazily sailing about, we
hear the scolding chatter of the
blue jays, and the Quarrelsome
caw caw of the crows: we see on
the western horizon a dark bank
of clouds, and we see the cotton
fields flecked with white, the
corn fields look brown'with the
ears sadly drooping and the
woods which were so short a time
ago a beautiful emerald, are be
ginning to show tents of red and
geld, and many more things of
ten remind us that the year will
soon be past, and then we have
room to wonder if we have this
year made the world any bettei
for ha ring lived in it. We should
have tried to. as that is part oi
our mission here, and we will
soon be like the year,—passing
into history.

Used .Parts for Dodge Car.
Mr. W. R. Blackston, of the

car for sale at a price that will

Taxes and.Public Ownership.
Property o * ned by the federal
government is not subject to tax
ation. If public ownership were
adopted in this country and the
tax-free exemptions continued,
there would be enormous losses
to public treasuries, quite enough
to force a radical revision of pub
lic expenditure or a hunt for new
sources of income,
During 1921 railways paid tax
es amounting to *275,128,134. 01
that sum *37,176,783 went to the
United States government and
the remainder. 5237,951.361, went
to the state and local govern
ments. Public oweershiy would
mean the loss of dll that sum to
the public treasuaies.
There is an increase in taxa
tion paid by railways. Statistics
indicate the total lor 1922 will be
about $304,000,000. On these
properties in 1916 the amounted
to *162,474,733. In that year the
railways paid taxes of $6Bl per
mile of track, while in 1921 the
taxes per mile had been increas
ed to $1223.
These are some of the practi
cal questions involved in any
campaign for public ownership
of u‘ilities and transportation,
They are of interest to the pub
lic because the information has
a large value to the taxpayers,
who will be affected-by heavier
taxes falling on all property that
remains in private ownership.
