TENANTS SHOULD BE
" BUSINESS PARTNERS
Any attempt to put landowners
and tenants in separate classes and
contend that the interests of the one
are opposed to the interests of the
other is vicious and dangerous. Land
owners are only human beings, with
all the virtues and frailties of hu
mankind, and the same is absclutely
true of tenants. Moreover, the ten
ant of today is often the landowner
of tomorrow, and, nine times in ten,
the honest, painstaking, industrious
and thrifty tenant graduates into a
landowner who is successful in his
relations with tenants.
Put plainly, the primary object of
any business, farming included, is to
make money or its equivalent; but
the very first lesson any man, land
owner or tenant, should learn is that
making money dishonestly is the
worst kind of business—bad not only
because it is wrong, but bad also be
cause in the long run it never pays.
Too many landowners and tenants
have yet to learn this lesson. There
are land-owners, we regret to say,
who have no scruples against “skin
ning”’ a tenant, and there are also
tenants who gloat over “getting the
best” of the landowner.
To the landowner, we say that the
surest way to make a dishonest ten
ant is to be dishonest in your rela
tions with him. Even the most ig
norant tenant senses it when he does
not get justice, and he resents it and
the landowner’s interest invariably
suffers. The landowner, by virtue of
his superior business position, should
set the tenant an example of un
questioned business rectitude. His
profits should come out of the land,
not out of the man. It will pay him
handsomely to cut out iniquitous time
prices and high interest rates and ad
vance cash at the legal rate of inter
est. The profits from a cheerful
worker, a tenant who knows he is
getting a square deal, will far out
weigh those that come from time
prices and excessive interest charges.}
To the tenant, let us say that your
whole business future depends upon
your reputation for honesty and
square dealing. These mean trust
and confidence on the part of men
who can help you, and these, coupled
with industry and economy, lead
straight to home ownership and inde
pendence. However dishonest your
landlord may be, it will be a fatal
mistake for you to follow his ex
ample. A better plan will be to leave
him, and leave him as quickly as you
can.
The only right relation between
landowner and tenant is as business
partners, each working for the good
of the firm. Such a relation means
satisfied landowners, prosperous, con
tented tenants, and farm lands in-;
creasing in fertility and value. It is
simply another case where the Geld
en Rule is not only good morals, but
good businses as well.—The Progres
sive Farmer.
BIG SWEET POTATO
Thomasville, Ga., November 16.-—
{Special.) —Many counties around
here are boasting of sweet potatoes
of unusual size this season, but it
remains for Thomas county to show
one that by actual weight pulls
down the scales at a fraction over
14 pounds. This potato is one of
a number grown by H. R. Banister,
one of the commissioners of Thomas
county, but it weighs just - little
more than the others and just about
fills a peck measure. It is consider
ed the champion potato of Georgia,
and Mr. Banister is anxious to know
if any other county can measure up
t> it.—Constitution.
Cobb County has it. We mention
ed it last week. It was raised by
Mr. W. M. Kemp and weighed 16
pounds. It is still on exhibit in the
fruit store of Mr. Beahan and al
though it has been drying out for
two weeks it still weighs more than 15
pounds. A remarkable coincidence,
however, Mr. Beahan says the seed
Mr. Kemp used came from the Areh
bold plantation in Thomas County
last spring.

The Georgia Farmers’ Union will
meet in annual Convention in Macon
this year, Dec. 3, 1918, and a large
delegation of members of this organ
jzation will attend this convention.
Chas. S. Barrett, President of the
National Farmers’ Union will attend
this Convention and will make one of
the principal addresses. Also Presi
dent Mills who is a member of the
Cotton States Official Advisory Mar
keting Board, announces that E. A.
Calvin, Washington Representative
of the Board will attend the Con
vention and will be one of the main
speakers. Mr. Calvin who from time
to time has been in conference with
‘the War Industries Board, the Food
Administration and other govern
mental agencies handling cotton, will
have something very important for
the farmers at this meeting, as to
why the price of cotton has declined.
Besides hearing reports from the
various business and co-operative en
terprises of the Farmers’ Union, the
convention will elect officers for the
ensuing year and name a delegation
to attend the National Convention of
the Farmers’ Union, which meets in
Denver, Colorado, Jan. 28, 1919. It
is expected that this convention will
go on record as favoring some kind
of Highway and School legislation for
our state. The importance of raising
large food crops for the year 1919
will be emphasized.
WHO STOLE THE CHICKENS?
Joe Gooch is the biggest liar in;
Plumville, Illinois. When he isn’t
working at his regular job of lying,
he does odd jobs of 'painting and
paper hanging, but he has never been
considered a success at either of!
‘those occupations. |
' One day in October, just after the
first frost, Mrs. Hilliard, a poor wid
ow, missed twenty-one of her chick
ens, and Joe Gooch was hauled before
the old Judge Bogle, the police mag
istrate, charged with stealing the
poultry. Pat Budge, day chief of po
lice, was Joe’s captor and accuser.
“Well, Joe,” said the magistrate,
“how do you plead—guilty or not
guilty?”’
The defendant hung his head,
twirled his rusty hat around his
thumbs, looked out of the window at
a passing cow, and cleared his throat.
“I'm guilty, Jedge,” he answered.
“H'm!” said the judge meditative
ly. He scrutinized the prisoner
closely, and coldly.! Then he turned
to the police chief.
‘“Pat,” he asked the chief, ‘“have
you any evidence against this man?
Did you find any chicken bones, or
feathers, or anytihing?”’
“Nope,” answered Budge. “I ain’t
got no evidence—nothin’ except his
word that he took the chickens.”
“Well, I guess I'll have to let you
go, Joe,” said the magistrate. “I
can’t conviet you on any such evi
dence as that.”—Cartoons Magazine.
Mr. Marion Holcomb, of Nancy, Ky., says: “For quite
a long while I suffered with stomach trouble. I would
have pains and a heavy feeling after my meals, a most
disagreeable taste in my mouth. If I ate anything with
butter, oil or grease, I would spit it up. [ began to have
regular sick headache. I had used pills and tablets, but
after a course of these, I would be constipated. It just
seemed to tear my stomach all up. 1 found they were
no good at all for my trouble. 1 heard

me. | keep it in the house all the time. It is the best
liver medicine made. Ido not have sick headache or
stomach trouble ang more.” Black-Draught acts on
the jaded liver and helps it to do its important work of

Discipline! When you have spoken
that one word you have described
nine-tenths of military training, says
the Cave Scout in November Boys'l
Life. Maybe I can give you some
idea of how rigid the rules are. A
fellow can get skinned (that is put
in the guard house) for brushing a
fly off his nose while standing at at
tention, for having a tent peg out of
line at inspection, for stopping to
get a drink before reporting for duty
after receiving an order, for failing
to correct a man when he sees him
doing wrong, for forgletting some
little thing like snapping a flap on a
canteen.
Do you think that seems a little
unfair? Do you think the officers
cught to make allowance for a little
slip once in awhile? Well, it does
seem hard at times, and I have no
drubt the officers feel that way about
it themselves, but they also know
that it is their duty to enforce dis
cipline to the letter. Why? Here’s
the answer. Suppose an officer in
the trenches in France should receive
an order to lead his men over the
top in'a charge at three minutes af
ter seven. Then suppose that instead
of leaving his trenches at exactly the
time set he should go out thirty sec
onds late. In all probability that of
ficer and his entire company would be
killed. The same thing would hap
pen if he were careless in setting
his watch and led his men out too
scon.
