Good Roads and Good Schools.
They are closely related and
usually go together. In fact both
are marks of the civilization of a
people. Th'e country or the sec

brands itself as wanting in the
spirit of progress that has be
come so general in our good
state. The time was when we

, now. We were struggling to get
on our feet for a decade or two
after the close of the war. and
; could not do then what we are
abundantly able to do now. The
fact is the prosecution of our own
i business and the enehaneement ol
the valuation of our own proper
ty demand that we provide bet
ter facilities for transportation
and that we educate our children
that they may meet the oppor
tunities of this new and bright
er day. Besides, the new and

ties that have been wise enough
to supply themselves with good
■ roads and good schools is an ob
ject lesson before our eyes that
we can neither gainsay nor re

Plans to Pay Teachers Offered.
Atlanta-Governor-elect Brown’s
suggestion of a bond issue to pay
the common school teachers of
the state has moved Comptroller
William A. Wright to suggest
three alternate plans for accom
plishing the same results, and
either of these plans would, it ap
. pears, obviate the necessity of in
creasing the boded indebtedness
of the state, which the framers
of the constitution forbade.
It should be understood, howev
that General Wright is not com
, nutted.’ to either of the proposi
tions nor is he in the attitude of
, criticising adversely the sugges
tion of governor-elect. He advan
, ccs his suggestions simply for
what they are worth, and in the
belief that they may be of assist
. anee in solving the problem of
teachers’ pay.
Governor-elect Brown, in a
. speech at Elberton Saturday, ad
vocated the issue of $600,000
worth of bonds, the money to be
used to pay the teachers. This
would require a constitutional
amendment, which the legisla
ture would have to submit to the
, people.
Here are General Wright s sug
gestions :
First, take the $240,000 which
has already been derived from
the tax on the manufacture and
sale of '•near-beer"and set aside
each year any other money that
may be derived from the tax.
' In two or three years' time, at
the remotest, the state would be
enabled to pay up the indebted
ness to the teachers.
Second, take the yearly increase
in revenue derived from the in
crease in tax values, which, in
1907, amounted to $350,000, and
set aside the fund until suffieent
has been accumulated to accom
plish the desired result.
Third, amend the constitution
by authorizing the governor to
borrow $600,000. instead of lim
iting him to $200,000, as is now
the ease.

Maintain Soil Fertility
No farmer ought to be satis
fied with leaving his farm a lit
tle worse off with every crop. He
ought to leave it a little better off
He ought to supply the nourish
ment in one form that he takes
from the soil in another form.
Consider the soil of your farm as
your bank. You must put into
it a little more than you take
out of it if you want to preserve
your credit and protect your fut
ure.
Do not be satisfied with being
a poor farmer. If you are go
ing to be a good farmer you
must know what the best farm
ers are doing everywhere, and
the best farmers, either through
commercial fertilizers or through
their plant crops, are enriching
their soils year by year.
Remember thiat with each erop
you harvest you have taken
some ingredient out of the soil
that must be replaced if you are
going to maintain the fertility
of your farm.
Intelligent tillage, intelligent
farming, leaves a farm better
every year after you have har
vested' your crop, but if you are
constantly drawing on the re
sources of fertility and putting
nothing in its place, the value
of your farm will steadily de
cline.
Cultivate crops, therefore, that
increase the soil's fertility; farm
wisely a.’ijl sagaciously, wasting
nothing; then adu u th?. soil
some commercial fertilizer to
make good any of the loss. Study
the subject with your neighbors,
with your county conventions
and societies, with the director
of your experimental station.
Find out what will make the
next year’s crop greater.—Home
and Farm.
Union Warehouses Consolidated.
Definite steps toward controll
ing the situation in Georgia by
amalgamating all the warehouses
in the state were taken when
representatives of the Farmers
Union and managers and stock
holders of the industrial ware
houses met in Atlanta recently
and perfected the organization of
the. Union Consolidated! Ware
house Coinpßny and elected its
officers and directors.
The organization of the ware
house company with its control of
more than one hundred formerly
independent warehouses, is the
most significant action yet taken
by the farmer in adopting busi
ness methods to protect himself
from the speculators and enforce
his rights. It will eliminate the
embarrassment which has hereto
fore been experienced in handling
Hue cotton crop in Georgia and
will extend the marketing of cot
ton over a sufficient period to
insure fair prices.
The warehouse company also
proposes to assign warehouse
receipts in the nature of collat
eral for such loans as will tide
the holder of cotton over a period
of financial stringency and will
thus save him from the necessi
ty of disposing of his cotton at
a sacrificial price.
The details of the plans under
which the organization shall be
operated have not all been work
ed out. Time is necessary in
which to perfect them, but the
amalgamated warehouse will be ir
operation next fall instead ol
the individual warehouses which
have operated in the past.

Things Seen and Heard on the
Edmondson Fann
(By The Man from Town)
The tempest bounds the clouds 1
with rain,
That beat upon the fields;
Too much' rain, a barren plain, '
O, the thunder, how it peals. '
We would have prosperity to '
greet us
In nineteen hundred and nine,
Oh, if prosperity should not ‘
greet us
Some will say ‘‘Little Joe” is ‘
not the kind.
The whippoorwills are heard
Before the twilight is gone,
Their shrill notes are heard
Until the early dawn.
The frogs, too they croak,
When the twilight is gone
They croak and' croak to the 1 '
early dawn.
They croak and croak the same ’
old song. ,
We are greeted with the notes of
the lovely Joree
The squirrels they bark from
the top of the tree,
The hawks they sail all around
And the moles they stay in the
ground.
The chickens have hawks for
their beaus,
They often take rides,
When you don’t want ’em to go,
O, don’t become alarmed,
When these things occur
the Edmondson farm.
