It is lime to quit talking about
hard times. In fact, with .cotton
selling at 20 cents a pound and a
fairly good crop made, we just na
turally don’t believe it. Then
think of the wonderful crops of
corn, velvet beans, peas, potatoes,
sugar cane, etc. Hard times?
Hardly. —()eilla Star.
It has been told in Hungary this
summer that it was so hot that
the ink run on the paper money,
and now they are putting the
money in the refrigerator to keep
it. In America we put our money
in the refrigerator in the summer
and in the coal bin in the winter,
but it melts away just the same. —

A Chicago professor says !H)J per

that is their skill ateamollage that

isn’t camouflage, but culinary skill
that makes them beautiful to most

in one splendidly manipulated fry
ing pan than in 17 cans of rouge. —

J. K. Simmons of the Nashville
Herald inquires why it is that a
local customer cannot purchase a
can of Georgia cane syrup at a local
grocery in Nashville. With apolo
gies for our knowledge of the syrup
business, we will advance the
opinion that a better price is offer
ed by “Shiners” than is offered by
the groeerman and the customers
are about as many, —Coffee County

The world has come largely to
judge a man by what he is and
does, and not by what he professes
and theehureh to which he belongs.
Unfortunately, the churches do
not make good men, any more than
other organizations make good cit
izens, nor unions guarantee good
and honest workmen. The man
himself, in every instance, is the
measure or standard by which to
judge. —Metter Advertiser.
The coterie of splendid Georgia
women who met in Atlanta last
week and passed resolutions on
lynchings and the crimes t h a t

church, but thevjust got m the

great problems that man, and man
alone, must solve so long as the
chiavlry of manhood and the'lionor
of womanhood exist. So, please
stand back ladies. —Thomasville

Every community has men, of
whom some are assets and some
are liabilities. In the latter class
is the fellow who doesn’t think
mud) of his town —who believes it
is already as much of a town as it
will ever be, and who thinks of
moving to someother place. Well
encourage him to go if you happen
to have one of that sort in your
town. You won’t miss him, and
the other town can pass him along
when it finds him out. —Albany
Herald.
Mr. Farmer, think a long time
before you consider any plan next
year that will lead you away from
crop diversification. Just bear in
mind that the price of cotton is
raising these days because the acre
age in food crops was enormously
increased. An all-cotton system
kept the south poor for a genera
tion. and just one year of the old
system now would put skids under
all our hopes, and bring our noses
to the grindstone. A normal cot
ton crop next year probably will
be needed, but a bumper crop
would —well, it would make us
‘bump the bumps’ all right! —Al
bany Herald.

Sunsets In September.
Have you missed them? Surely
not. For a week or more it has
been a glorious spectacle—these
sunsets in September. The days
have been hot and wearying. But
iiow the memory of the distressing
heat of the midday has been swept
away when the eventide has come
and the glow of the sinking sun
has filled all the world with beau
ty.
We have greatly enjoyed observ
ing how these sunsets have im
pressed the people we have seen in
these recent days. There was a
street car in the late afternoon
with its load of weary workers and
from out the windows here and
there were beautiful faces lighted
with the glow that came to them
as they lost themselves in perfect
worship of Hie beauty of the great
picture there in the heavens; and
the little child there on the side
walk standing in perfect forgetful
ness of the companions in their en
gaging game, rolled her big blue
eyes from one peak to another of
the entrancing sight she beheld;
and there ou the porch that looked
out towards the West an elderly
and enfeebled man feasting his
meaningful eyes upon that panora
ma which beckoned him on to the
Land that is fairer than day.
We thank God that we can see
so much of beauty as is found in
one glorious sunset. We find our
selves praying. Anything that
causes us to pray is good for us.
Let us not be unmindful of the
sunsets —these wonderful Septem
ber sunsets. For, if we observe
the sunset we will observe the
evening star and likely we will
pray with Tennyson that, when
that last sunset comes and we shall
cross the bar, we may meet our
Pilot face to face and bo at Home
with Him. —Christian Index.

Women in Atkinson county who
wish to get their names on the

Under a law passed by the Geor

Get. 1 and Dec. 20 every year.

tax by Dec. 20 will be in arrears.
Disqualification of voters for the
non-payment of poll tax and other
taxes does not occur until April
10, but those in arrears from Dec.

iroin the registration lists, and
when the next election is to take
place will have to register and pay
their taxes six months in advance.

Befitting Definition.
The Egotist is Hie fellow that
thinks there are jnst twelve preach
ers and that he is a dozen of them;
that there an) six great editors and
he is a half dozen of them; that he
is enough deacons to run tw'o
churches, and that all the districts
in Hie eouuty should come under
one school director anil that he
and he alone can be that one
director. He thinks if it were not
for him the pulpit would be a fail
ure, the churches go to the bow
wows and the world would grow
up in ignorance. That when he
dies Solomon will have no successor
the lamp of wisdom will be blown
out and the embodiment "of know
ledge will sleep in the cold, cold
grave.—Exchange.
