Sl.Ki.i year m advance. Advertising rate arc- liberal and will lit made known on appllec ion. Kntercd at the Postoince In I’imnion, (Icorgln A» mall matter ol the aecund das*. They say they lintl it easier t< .write J 921 than 1020. I! is funirt what simple things some pcoph use for buncombe. That Mercer .Stewart noise in Savannah is merely a "Tempest in a Teapot." It needs no safetj valve; it will blow over right quick of its own accord. Sad will be the parting on March 4tli when Hoke Smith bids good bye to his friend, La Follottc, and Georgia swaps him off for Tom Watson, whom the Senate may east out. That "Tech State Industrial Tour" was not a drawing card and had to be postponed. The lies! way to reaeli the people of Georgia is by way of her excellent weekly newspapers. Some farmers are raising < >i<l Ned because the price of wheat has slumped; the consumer is raid ing Cain because there is no slump in the price of flour. J{oth are really sad stories. When William ,1. Harris and Thomas E. Watson meet in the United States senate chamber, will they “speak as they pass by? I ’ol i tics creates incongruities neither peasant nor congenial. The "Gold Brick” vendor haven’t called on I’canon lately. If so, lie or she, has not interviewed the Tribune editor. I'liey are plying their vocation by correspondence and it makes a bulky mail. Met a girl on the street who was whistling, quoted to her the old gag about the “Whistling woman and the crowing hen.” “Oh,” says she, “1 am that much of a boy." How early they yearn for the lial) its of men. There is not a dry spot in all Georgia. From the mountains to the seaboard it is wet and getting wetter. This governmental drain age system is not operating as well as expected. The boss ditchers will now "spit on their hands” an begin their work where they start ed. The order for the deportation of Martens, according to the news I wipers, lias touched the Nations pulse in a tender spot. It is Hoi shovio bosses instructed him to withdraw all His fat contracts if deportation is to be enforced. Mar tons remains in America. Gold wields a powerful! influence in the world. The announcement that- Hard ing's inaugural will consist of privately taking the oath of office, dispensing with the outside cere monies, falls like a blizzard upon those Republican flunkeys who de sire to turn it into a celebration of the great victory in November. There will be *no inaugural ball, and so forth. Senator Hoke Smith lost the best opportunity he ever had to help the farmers of dear old “Jaw jaw" when he was hobsnobbing around with Watson and Hard wick in the frantic effort to defeat the Versailles treaty and league of nations. It is generally admitted if they had been ratified the farm er's products would have found a profitable market in Europe. Tne farmers of the South are preparing to take care of their industries themselves. Judge Robert G. Dickerson held 'Rainer county's first superior court this week in an improvised court room. .There is considerable busi ness on both the civil and criminal dockets inherited from tb» old counties. The Tribune man was anxious to be present and join in the congratulatory ceremony that preceded the real business of the court. It being stated that he could not reach Milltown by auto jnobile he gave up the trip. BOY SCOUTS. The Tribune is in sympathy with anything that has for its object the inst illing right principles into the boys of our country. In the mad rush for the accumu lation of wealth the 4 tod-given icout masters have disappeared, tnd their places have to be suppli ed by a mechanical personage — mine good, some bad and some in -1 i fferenk It is a sad day when parents have lost interest in the proper moulding of the characters of their offspring. But that day is upon the country. Too many children are growing up upon the streets and highways, acquiring habits of idleness, frivolity, thriftlessness and a general disregard for the rights of others. Viewing the situation with alarm, the tremendous menace that is threatening our social fabric and even the American government itself, leading men of the conn try, have planned and are devel oping a wholesome cheek upon this tendency ol the boys of our country, who have lost parental guardianship and care, towards anarchy and supreme selfishness. Thus the organization of "The Hoy Scouts of'America" have come into existence, and it stands for the protection of society and civil government. The Tribune greatly prefers the God-given authority of parents to train children in the way they should go, but if they refuse to perform the service, if accepts the "Hoy Scout” alterna tive. The principles inculcated by the Scout Master are these: To be trustworthy, to be loyal, to be helpful, to be friendly, to be court eous, to be kind, to be obedient, to be cheerful, to be thrifty, to be brave, to be clean, and to be rever ent- A boy with these principles thoroughly instilled into his mind and heart is forever lost to Hoi . shevism. Some of the best and most pro minent men of the nation, includ ing such men as W oodrow Wilson, William 11. Taft and W illiam G. Me Ad 00, are giving their time find talent to this work with no hope of reward beyond the saving of the future generation from a situation akin to savagery; to give the coun try a citizenry who stand for the triumph of truth and virtue, a sturdy reverence for (toil and I In laws of their country —a citizenry in love with their free government as planted by the fathers, patriotic and redblooded Americans. The Tribune sees the need of such an organization in every-com munity of Atkinson county. For this reason, notwithstanding he has his time amply occupied with the cares of life, he has accepted the chairmanship of Atkinson county and will endeavor to per feet the organization therein, as soon as he becomes acquainted with the work. Atkinson county will be asso eiated in a District Council with the counties of Bacon, Charlton, Clinch, Coffee, Fierce and W are, of which Mr. C. C. Thomas, of W ay cross is chairman. The boyhood of our country, conserved, prepared and equipped for the duties of citizenship, is the most valuable asset of the Nation, an endurable bulwark against law lessness in every form, a guarantee of the perpetuation of our govern ment and its free institution. And how much we need the influence and co-operation of the patriotic and God-fearing people of our sev eral communities in accomplishing this gigantic task. Prohibition is making a sturdy race of the American people. They can now stand up under drinks that would have been fatal years ago. "In connection with the appoint ment of a woman probat ion officer in Decatur, the statement was made that it was the first appoint ment of the kind in this section. Tift had a woman probation officer four years ago. -find Lowndes and we believe Colquitt and Brooks had oue also. The work was or ganized J>y Miss Agues McKenna and so'long as it was under her personal supervision it worked sat isfaetorily,"says the Tiftou Gazette. PEARSON* TRIBUNE. PEARSON.
