The man or boy in South Poor
gia who wants a job eau get oneal
a fair remuneration. The most ol
them want jobs where they eau ex
change the least possible labor for
the most money.
(iov. Horsey has drawn a war
rant on a short term loan, amount
ing to $214,179, to pay September
salaries of teachers. The money
should now be in the treasuries of
the local boards of education.
Sunday, < >ctober26lh* American
time will be turned backward one
hour. It makes little difference
in the rural homes. The farmers
have fixed hours as unchangeable
as the laws of the Modes and
.Persians.
The l’ershing advice the Ameri
can Legion, that it steer dear of
partisian polities is good, but it
will be unheeded. Yon can no
more keep an American citizen
out of partisan politics than you
could lly to heaven on the back of
a gnat.
A majority of flic newspaper
editors and publishers of the Sev
with congressional district met in
Atlanta recently and organized
the Seventh District Press Assoei
ation. The meeting was enthusi
astic and the outlook good for a
healthy co-operative body.
Editor Hirsh berg, of the Marion
County Patriot, is trying to cn
lighten his readers in regard to
what John saw on the Isle of Pat
nios. Hut his expositions are
about as clear as mud or the Hook
of Revelation itself, lie thinks it
says something against the peace
treaty and the league of nations.
Jloke Smith gets another dig
under the fifth rib. Before he
can get his amendments to the
Peace treaty before the Senate
there comes a message from Geor
gia, from Cobb county, his next
door neighbors, commanding him
to vote for the peace treaty and
league of nations without change
or amendment . To him this is the
bitterest of irony. To be a public
servant and build air castles are
sorry jobs.
The Tribune made an egregious
error in the calculation connected
with its article “Vote for Bonds,"
and hasten to correct it. The tig
ures should have been S9OOO for
interest the first year and decrease
S2OO annually. It is provided that
S2OOO of the principal be paid an
nually. This would make the first
annual payment $5,000; the second.
$4,800; the third, $4,000, and so
on decreasing until the issue is
wiped out, thirty years from date.
However, this is better than pay
ing $25 per SI,OOO. as they are
having to pay in Candler county
for the same purpose.
It is told for a fact that theciti
zens of the town of Enterprise.
Coffee county, Ala., are erecting a
$3,000 monument to the Cotton
801 l Weevil, to be inscribed; “In
Profound Appreciation of the 801 l
Weevil and What it Has Done as
the Herald of Prosperity." The
sequel is that when the boll weevil
came Coffee county was raising sl.-
500,000 worth of cotton, whereas
they sre now raising $4,500,000
worth of peanuts and there are in
the county plenty of corn. hogs,
cattle and chickens which, under
the cotton regime, were almost en
tirely imported. The change lias
made them glad. “Experience is
a dear school, but there are many
people w ho can learn at no other.”
TIMELY TOPICS.
The latest from the white house
is that President Wilson is grow
ing si ronger but still confined to
his bed. Physicians agree that he
needs a complete rest.
A Tliouiasville mass meeting has
.jiven it out to Senator Jloke Smith
:hat they want an early ratifica
tion of the treaty of peace without
my amendmen s. 'ibis isabump
•r to Sinit h.
Mr. and -Mrs. E. P. (been, of
Way cross, aged 75 and 63 respect
ively, are dead. Mrs. (been died
Monday night and Mr. Green
Tuesday. The funeral and inter
ment yesterday in Lott cemetery.
The News has gone out from
sopertou that the young county
>f Treutlen will have to draft one
if'her citizens to represent her in
the legislature. Plenty of timber,
but nobody seems to want the
place. W’lial has become of Bill
I teuton?
It appears that at the sale Tues
day, at Brunswick, of the Pied
moilt and Georgia Coast railroad,
the junk dealers was a shade high
er than that of the syndicate who
propose to keep it as a going rail
road. It is strongly believed that
Judge Evans at the hearing to
morrow will confirm the bid of the
latter as the best bid. So mote it
be.
Congressman Lankford's petition
on the canal question is not very
pleasing to the Southeast Georgian.
Mr. Lankford has given it out that
he is in favor of the most feasible
proposition. Bro. Trimble maybe
assured that his congressman can
be depended on to support the St.
Mtirys-St. Marks proposition as a
large majority of his constituents
favor it as the cheaper and most
favorable route.
'The Tribune concurs entirely
with Bra. Trimble, of the St. Ma
rys Georgian, in the following:
“When the school system of our
State was organized, this section of
our country was poverty stricken
as a result of the Civil W ar. The
teachers were told to go ahead and
teach the schools and at the end
of the year when the taxes were
collected they could expect their
pay. it has taken sixty years to
catch up the slack. No longer can
the South plead poverty, for she is
buying and paying millions for lux
iiries while many of her school
houses arc either dosed or given
over to those who should be going
to school themselves. The inconi
indent teacher turns out incompe
tent citizens; the evils of which is
rarely overcome in alter years."
