The political campaign of 1920
has already opened in Wayne
count y. Only four announcements
for Ordinary to date. Guess they
w ill have an early primary.
Speaking of the “baby” judicial
Circuit the Tifton Gazette remarks:
“The Alapalia judicial circuit gets
off an early start. Judge Dicker
son opened bis first session of
of Berrien superior court Monday
morning, with Solicitor-General
Lovett winning his first spurs in
his own home town."
Correspondents continue to send
letters to the Tribune for publica
lion and neglect to accompany it
with a responsible name. The
Tribune again admonishes people
who write for publication that it
must have the author's real name,
not as a signature, but as evidence
of good faith. This is a newspaper
rule that cannot be abolished.
The Vidalia Advance agrees
with the Tribune that the busi
ness men of every community
should sec to it that there is a
market for everything the farmer
has to sell at the highest possible
prices. On the other hand the
farmer should see to it that the
produce he offers for sale is in
marketable shape. Careless prep
oration ruins the market for the
produce of those who are guilty of
such negligence. This is a matter
of dollars and cents to the pro
ducer, and he can not well ignore
it.

BUILD FOR FUTURE.
It is certainly poor policy in any
city government to permit, especi
ally within the fire limit, the
building of any structure that is
not of a permanent and substantial
character. There are many reasons
for this prohibition:
Such structures arc a menace to
the general prosperity. They in
•rcasc the cost of insurance, until
it becomes a burden.
Such structures endanger every
itiilding near them. They are
veritable (ir< - traps ready at any to
burst out in a conflagration and
leave ruin in their stead.
Such structures are not orna
mental, and from a standpoint of
comeliness destoys the effect any
good building near them may pres
ent.
Such structures do not impress
visitors with the stability and per
manency of the town oreity, which
would require a tremendous revo
lotion in the building policy of the
place to overcome.
Such structures misrepresents
very often the character of the
great mass of the people who live
in the town or city, that they have
no confidence in the future of t heir
home town, when the very reverse
is true.
The Tribune is in favor, so far
as Pearson is concerned, of a rigid
prohibition along this line. Let
her growth be permanent, even if
it be slow. It will speak better
for her future.
BOYCOTT AS A WEAPON.
The time was when people of
opposite opinions let .each other
severely alone. This ignoring ac
tion has been in operation from
almost time immemorial, and has
slowly but surely developed into a
vindictive weapon of no mean pro
portion. The enemy is punished
with the boycott; you not only ig
nore and refuse business relations
with your enemy, but you spend a
lot of valuble time in procuring
others, your friends, to do likewise.
The enemy is not only put out of
business but commercially mur
dered. No business man can sue
cessfully contend against the
miserable barbaric method.
And this is (lie method which
President Wilson says is to be cm
ployed against those nations who
do not take kindly to the League
of Nations; all support to the of
fending nation is to be withdrawn
and it left to work out its destiny
for itself. This is barbarism in its
purity, and Christian men and
women will hesitate, under the
present meaning of boycott, to
support it.

CURE FOR SCHNDAL.
A Terrible Disorder of the
Mouth.
A respected subscriber thinks
the publication of the following
recipe would be the timely, and
the Editor thinks so too and gives
space to it:
Take of “Good Nature” one
ounce; of an herb called by the In
dians “Mind Your Own Business,”
one ounce; mix with this a little
“< 'harity For Others” and two or
three sprigs of "JKeep Your Tongue
Between Y’our Teeth.” Simmer
them together in a vessel called
"Circumspection,” adding a pinch
of “Common Sense” if you have it.
The symptoms are a violent itch
ing in the tongue and roof of the
mouth, which invariably takes
place when you are in company
with a species of animals called
Gossips. When you feel a fit of
the disorder coming on, take a tea
spoonful of the mixture in your
mouth, which you will keep close
ly shut till you get home, and you
will find a complete cure.
Should you apprehend a relapse,
keep a small bottleful about you.
and on the slightest symptom re
peat the tlose.
