AN OUTLAW
It must not be forgotten that the
United States tried to regulate the
liquor business for more than a cen
tury and signally failed. The refusal
of the lipuor business to submit to
regulation eventually brought about
its downfall.
The past should be evidence e
nough that the liquor business
knows no law and that to replace
prohibition with “regulations”
would only make it easier to violate
the law.
Those who like to make them
selves believe that the country is
worse off than it ever was before
prohibition are fond of speaking
glibly of the Quebec lipuor control
system, when as a matter of fact
they have no information on the
subject and are not qualified to
speak at all.
The Quebec system has been prov
ed an absolute failure. A newspaper
of unquestionaed integrity recently
sent a staff correspondent to Quebec
to make an investigation of the sys
tem, its operation and the conditions
zvhich it. produced. His study was ex
haustive and itw as designed to test
out the arguments of the wets that
government control of liquor would
wipe out bootlegging entirely, reduce
drunkeness, aid business by proving
a large source of new government rev
enue and prevent a return to the bar.
The series of artcles that have
been printed show the contrary to be
true. The precise knowledge gained of
the situation robbed the Quebec sys
tem of all its glamour.
And so it is with all system of reg
ulation. Liquor can not be treated
other than an outlaw because it has
so often proved it self to be an out
law.
Golden opportunities never comes
on silver platters.
Going broke is taking a vacation
in an automobile.
The men at the top are at the bot
tom of a lot of things.
Loss of memory is really one of the
blessings of a free people.

Confederate Veterans Will
Not Hold Reunion This Year
VIDALIA. Ga., Sept. 1. Inasmuch
a some confusion has arisen over
the invitation from Atlanta to hold
the 1926 reunion in that city oh Oct
ober (> ami 7, and the time for prepar
ation, both on the part of the rail
road companies in the matter of
schedules and tickets, and also on the
part of towns or cities for our re
ception and entertainment, is exceed
ingly short and inadequate, 1 deem
it unadv isable to hold a reunion this
year.
I make this announcement reluc
tantly, even though the circumstances
fully justify it to be made. Our ranks
are thinning rapidly and the years
are slipping by faster as we grow
older, ami it behooves us to meet as
often as possible at least annually—
a> long as a corporal's guard of us
remain on earth, but our reunions
should be whole-hearted and made as
pleasant as real genuine hospitality
can characterise them.
it is probable by 1927 a sincere
and cordial invitation will come to us
from some desirable town or city in
Georgia, and with plenty of time for
preparation on the part of all con
cerned, the reunion of that year will
be made the grandest and happiest of
the many happy gatherings of the
followers of Lee and Jackson, whom
the Grim Reaper will spare to take
part in it, and to that end we will
pray.
To the various camps throughout
the state 1 send greetings, and hope
they will hold together and keep
their organizations intact so far as
possible to do so.
Respectfully,
M. G. MURCHINSON.
Commander.
We wish to express to friends and
neighbors our deepest appreciation
of the many deeds of kindness ex
tended our husband ami father dur
ing his years of illness and death and
also for the beautiful floral offerngs.
Very sincerely.
MRS. JESSE CALLOWAY,
AND FAMILY.

CRIMSON CLOVER
When to Plant
Aug. 15 to Sept. 15. Dont’ wait for
the rain.
How to Plant
i Use chaff seed. Plant on top of the
ground just as it was left at last
cultivation.
Where to Plant.
Stubble land, especially if grassy,
, is best adapted. But cotton or corn
, fields, if not of a character that heav- i
es badly in thewinter, are all right. |
I How Much to Plant
If you are beginning with clover
! and your land is not inoculated start
with a seed patch of one, two or three
acres, according to the size of your
‘ farm. After you have your own seed
and have some experience I think a
third to a half of your land should be
.. sown each fall.
Where to Get the Seed
Look through the advertisements in
’ The News. If you fail to find ads. ask
’ the county agent where to buy seed.
, —now.
THE WINTER GRAIN CROP
We do not sow nearly as much
, grain in our county as we should and
a very small part of that is sown as;
- early as it should be. |
r This is especially true of oats. A
j larger area of oats would provide ad-
■ ditional feed that would be a great
. benefit to most of our farms. It would
j not only diversify the ration but
. wouuld make the risk of running ot
L feed considerably less. It would also
t be a great help in building up our
I soils fitting nicely into our common
. rotations and giving a good place to
1 sow summer legumes like peas and
. soy beans. ,
A rotation that has often proved
! profitable in the cotton belt is cot-
■ ton, oats, corn as main crops with
■ peas on the oat stubble and crimson
clover on the pea stubble. This rota-|
tion has several things that particu-|
larly recommend it. One of these is
that the grain drilled in the cotton,
middles uses and pays for the ferti-|
lizer that may remain after the cot
ton is made. Oats does especially well I
sown this way. This rotaaion also:
provides a fine preparation tor the
corn crop incorporating humus in the
soil and providing the much needed
supply of nitrogen. Also the pea
stubble makes an especially good
place to sow the crimson clover seed, (■
An increased acreage of oats
therefore will mean better provision
for livestock and better care of our ;
land.
It has been found that oats pro
duce much larger crops when sown
early than when they are sown iule.|
September and early October are
accepted time for oat sowing.
It has also been found that the
land that has been worked in cotton
is already well prepared for oats. It
does not need rebreaking, in fact, it
is better without it. .
Hutu it does need to be planted in
a furrow to protect it from being
pushed out of the ground by winter
freezes, and it is found that when so
planted it will usually go through the
winter without damage. |
If then we will drill our oats in the,
cotton middles we need not wait for
the cotton to be out of the way but
can go ahead in our oats at the right.
time under very favorable conditions
for its success.
It seems to me that a largely in
creased acreage of oats drilled in the.
cotton middles before October 15
would be a very profitable thing for
the average farm.
