'1 be Rev. Wm. A. Sunday, evan
geiist for revenue only, has hand
cd in the company of Uoscoc
{Fatty) Arbuckle and says that
debauchee should lie turned spoil
free. If is a great pity that silence
cannot be maintained in the news
papers relative to that Frisco de
baueli. Tlieffe is no lesson in it
wort liy of public attent ion.
The Tiihunc learns that the
Pine Grove school house, located
in the southwestern part of the
county, was destroyed by fire some
days ago. The indications are that
it was the work of an incendiary.
Mr. Silas White had commenced a
term of school in the building on
the previous Monday morning and
taught onlv two or three days
when the house was burned. He
says there had been no fire there
the days he taught.
Picric acid is about 125 per cent,
as strong as 20 per cent, dynamite.
It is put up in six ounce cartridges
and according to government ex
ports is well adopted to blowing
stumps in Georgia. < >nc million
pounds of these cartridges are to
be sold by the goveenmeut to the
farmers of Georgia at 7c. per pound,
if they wdli blow up stumps, the
price is cheap and a fine invest
ment for the farmers having stumps
in their field. For sale by county
agents.
Judging from a news item, eman
ating from Valdosta, a great mis
take is current relative to loans by
the Land Banks —one is that the
Land Banks have ceased to receive
applications for loans. This is not
the fact; the trouble, and the onlv
trouble, just now is the shortage
of appraisers which permits the
accumulation of applications and
makes the granting of loans very
slow. Farm Loan Commissioner
Loddell, at Washington, promises
to remedy this by increasing ap
p raisers.
If the government is to investi
gale the secret order, K. K. lv.,
consistency should dictate that it
investigate all other secret organiz
ations. It. has been ludily demon
strated that much of the wrongs
to government and society have
emanated from secret conclaves
other than the Ku Klux Klan. All
good American citizens should
stand together for law and order,
but they should not hide under a
cloud of secrecy. Much that is
done in secret can’t bear the sun
light of publicity.
It. would be some commentary
on the dominant political party
should the disarmament party
meet in Washington before peace
with Gcnmuiy becomes a varity.
There is a possibility of it being
that way. The moment’Senator
Lodge presented the peace resolu
tion to the Senate opposition,
strong and determined, showed
itself and the tight may delay’ rati
lieatiou beyond the meeting of the
disarmament conference, despite
President Harding's anxiety to
have it over with quickly.
The l'aw sou News excuses Pres
ident Harding, who is a cigarette
Head, with this argument: "The
cigarette has beeu much maligned.
Smokers are just beginning to re
alize that it is the cleanest method
of smoking tobacco, A cigarette
is simply made of tobacco rolled in
a thin paper. It burns freely, most
of the nicotine being strained
through the soft tobacco as the
smoker draws for an inhalation or
for the more amateurish puff. Lit
tle of the nicotine reaches the
mouth of the smoker. It is much
more refined, by virtue of being
cleaner, than the pipe or cigar.
The cigar smoker both smokes and
Chews tobacco at the same time."
SELECTING SEEDS.
Farmers, thoroughly interested
in their vocation, will tell yon that
the success of agriculture depends
upon the farmer having the very
best of seeds for the foundation of
his crops.
They will tell you further that
at harvest is ihe time for seed se
lection. When yen are ready to
gather your crop of corn you
should first go into the field and
select therefrom the largest, best
developed and healthiest looking
ears. These should be kept in a
separate place and under the most
favorable conditions possible.
Cottonseed for the succeeding
crop should be selected from the
best boll specimens found in the
field. This cotton should be liarv
ested separately, ginned separately,
and the uumixed seed kept with
care.
It is stated as a fact upon ample
demonstrations that, to reap the
best results in melon growing, the
seeds must be taken from melons
grown nearest the parent stalk,
and melons must not be grown on
the same land two years in succes
sion.
it is peculiar, but nevertheless
true, that you cannot save genuine
Rocky Ford canteloupe seed from
your crop of canteloujies. You must
get fresh seed every year from
whence they thrive best. If there
lias ever been an explanation for
this verity the Tribune editor lias
never had it called to his attention.
in selecting sugar-cane for seed
farmers invariably choose those
stalks with the shortest joints.
They say it insures a better stand
and the thicker the stand, they
say, the better growth will be ob
tained.
The Tribune editor overheard a
discussion between two Atkinson
county farmers on the subject of
maintaining the purity of sweet
potatoes. Wlmt they had to say
was interesting, while their con
clusions might he ever so erroue
ous. They said that the best plan
in to use slips from the original
potatoes, or plant your seed pota
toes and when they have budded
out use for planting that part of
the vine nearest the seed potato.
No one, however, will gainsay
the fact that success in farming
depends upon good seed, and that
in order to have the best seed tlie
farmer must use good judgment
and care. Farming is a science,
and requires a degree of skill and
learning seldom accorded it.

STARVE THE WEEVIL
The general report is that the
cotton crop of Atkinson has practi
cally been harvested, and in some
fields the cotton stalks are still
green.
This being the ease no finer op
portunity could be afforded to
eliminate the boll weevil by starv
ation. Experts say that by taking
a cotton stalk cutter and cut the
green stalks down and leave no
green cotton leaves for them to
feed on the weevil will starve. It
is worth the experiment, and the
Tribune urges its farmer friends to
give it a trial now, when tiie time
is so propitious—with the cotton
harvested and may be some time
until frost.
As soon as there is a killing
frost it w ould be another good idea
to turn these same stalks under
good and deep and thus destroy
such w eevils as may have survived.
it has been demonstrated this
year that by diligence a fair crop
of cotton can be grown in Atkin
son county, and w hile the Tribune
is far from advising the farmers to
turn their attention exclusively to
cotton growing, it does advise that
they grow some. The nations of
the earth must be e lot bed —they
depend upon our cotton for this
purpose —and hence the necessity
for the farmers of Atkinson county
helping to grow cotton.
It would be helpful for the farm
ers of Atkinson county to grow a
medium crop of cotton: it would
bo harmful for them to grow noth
ing else but cotton.
PEARSON TRIBUNE. PEARSON, GEORGIA, SEPTEMBER 30, 1921
ECHOES FROM PRESS MEET.
Kindly Comment on the Occa
sion and Entertainment.
From the Adel News.
Pearson entertained the Elev
enth District Press Association
Monday and a royal reception was
given the visitors by the citizens
of that progressive city and the
county of Atkinson. The meeting
was held in Atkinson county’s
beautiful new court house and
opened with a fervent invocation
by llcv. Christopher, Baptist pas
Lor there. The address of welcome
was delivered by Col. B. T. Alien,
editor of the Pearson Tribune, and
lie made every visitor feel at home
by his warm hearted and cordial
welcome. He gave some of the
history of the tow-n and county
which was very interesting, calling
attention to tiie fact that the first
paper printed in that immediate
section was published by the father
of Mr. E. L. Turner, business man
ager of the Valdosta 'Times. Mrs.
\V. H. Robinson, president of the
association, and editor of the
Foikston Herald, responded to the
address of welcome on behalf of
the association in a happy manner.
Mrs. Robinson presided and Mr.
L. li. Jenkins, of the Alma 'Times,
secretary of the association, at
tended to his duties.
The association then adjourned
for dinner which was served by
Mrs. Malone, proprietress of the
Pearson hotel, and a great dinner
it was. The biggest, fattest tur
keys in the community had been
prepared for the occasion, along
with the best chickens, roasts, etc.
that could be found anywhere.
Assisted by other ladies of the city,
Mrs. Malone had prepared a feast
that was thoroughly enjoyed. On
behalf of tiie visitors, Mr. Algee
spoke fit ting w ords of appreciation,
to which Mrs, Malone modestly re
sponded.
The people of Atkinson county
art-justly proud of the Pearson
Tribune, it is a splendid paper.
The following resolutions were
introduced by Mr. Flanders and
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the Eleventh
District Press Association extend
thanks to Miss Mabel Hogeboom
and Mr. \Y. L. Sprouse for their
excellent addresses contributing
much to tiie success of the pro
gram.
Resolved, that we extend to
Editor B. T. Alien and to the good
people of Pearson, our thanks for
the very excellent entertainment
extended to tis.
From the OelUa Star.
The Eleventh District Press As
sociation met at Pearson Monday
with a fair attendance of news
paper peoplo. A good program
was carried out, which will no
doubt prove beneficial to those
who were present. Problems pecu
liar to the printing business were
discussed by those who had had
experience along the lines under
discussion.
Leaving out of account the
writer, the press gang is a fine
bunch to meet with, and it is an
occasion always enjoyed.
Editor B. T. Allen, in his wel
come address gave a very interest
ing history of the newspaper busi
ress in Pearson, dating back mauy
years, even to the time when a
home made picks was used, the bed
being a heavy slab of marble and
the roller being turned out of a
pine log.
Pearson; though an old town, is
a young county site, and there are
plenty of evidences of the new life
that comes to a town that becomes
a county site. Its people have the
old time Southern hospitality in
its perfection, and the only regret
they seemed to have was that there
were not more guests. The good
ladies of the town under the leader
-ship of Mrs. Malone, had prepared
a most delightful dinner, to which
that bunch of hungry editors paid
a most eloquent though speechless
tribute.
The program was varied a bit
from the regular course of talking
shop by fine addresses from Miss
Mabie Hogeboom, Home Demon
stration Agent of Ware county and
by Mr. W. L. Sprouse, Boy Scout j
Executive of the Okeefeenokee i
Council.
Editor Herring, of Tifton, was!
there and added considerably to
the success of the day. When the!
time came for invitations for the }
next meeting, he extended an in- j
vilation to meet in Tifton, which |
was backed up by Mr. W. E. Algee.
Secretary of the Chamber of Coin- i
merce, and though Tifton is located j
outside the Eieventy District, tiie
invitation was unanimously accept
ed. This meeting will be held on
the third Monday in January.
From the Charlton County Herald.
The Eleventh District Press As
sociation met at Pearson Monday
and ihe meeting proved Ihe most
profitable and enjoyable that the
association has held during the
past year. The meeting was held
in tiie beautiful new Atkinson
county court house. Rev. Christo
pher, of the Baptistchurch, offered
the invocation, after which tiie ad
dress of welcome was delivered by
Col. I>. T. Allen, editor of the Pear
son Tribune, one of the best edited
of Georgia’s weeklies. The re
sponse was made by the president
of tiie association, Mrs. Robinson,
editor of the Charlton County
Herald.
At the noon hour a very fine
turkey dinner was served at the
beautiful hotel Malone by Mrs.
Malone assisted by the ladies of
Pearson.

pleasure to those who attend.
The meetings, morningand after

county courthouse, a handsome
and modern structure, almost com
pieted, which reflects credit on
the new county and its progressive
people. The meetings were presid
ed over by Mrs. W. H. 1 tobiusou
of Foikston, the Association’s able
president.
'The program began with invoca
tion by Rev. Christopher, followed
by an address of welcome by Editor
Allen of Pearson, who not only
gave the visitors a cordial welcome
but gave some newspaper history
of this section of the past that was
of unusual interest to Hie Editors.
Short talks and addresses were
made by practically all the news
paper men present, which were in
(cresting and helpful.
Dinner was served the guests in
the dining room of the Hotel Ma
lone, Mrs. Malone being assisted
in preparing and serving by several
of tiie ladies of Pearson. The din
ner was really a royal feast, pre
pared in a most excellent manner.
The hungry editors made a heavy
onslaught, charged and counter
charged, but they failed to make
much sign on those big platters
piled high with fried chicken, tur
key, salads, Bruusw ieks stew, etc.
Mr. and Mrs. Flem C. Dame and
Dr. L. 11. Dame, of Homervilie, at
tended and greatly enjoyed tiie
occasion.
From the Alma Times.
The Eleventh District Press As
sociation met in Pearson on last

An Address by Mr. \V. E. Algee,
Secretary of the ’Tifton Board of
Trade, after which Editor Allen
announced that Lunch was awak
ing at the hotel, which announce
ment was received with a great
deal of enthusiasm by the editors.
W e arc a pretty good judge when
it comes to good tilings to eat, and
take it from us, the ladies of Pear
son can’t be beat when it comes to
fixing something good to eat. We
were at the same table with Jack
Williams and Editor Herring and
they will bear us out in the state
ment that the ladies of Pearson
are past masters in the art.
'The meeting was called to order
again at 2 o'clock and a short busi
ness session was held, and then
there were more talks by the diff
erent members of the association.
Tifton was selected as flic next
meeting place on invitation from
Brother Herring, supplemented by
Mr. Algee, Secretary of the Tifton
Board of Trade. Mr. Algee said
that the people of 'Tifton might not
be able to feed us as well as the
good people of Pi-arson had done,
but lie would assure us that we
would not starve while in his city.
'The editor had to leave at this
juncture, as we were there in a
"Fliver," a long way to go so we
are sure that we missed some of
the best things Pearson had for us.
Anyway, if We ever have another
chance we are going to Pearson
again.

Jewish New Year.
Next Monday, < letober 3rd, is
Jewish New Year, and marks the
beginning of the year 5682 Anno
Mundi- Another notable day with
orthodox Jews, Rosh Hashauah,
follows on Tuesday.
The New-Year's Day, as observ
ed by the Synagog, is not a day of
rejoicing, such as in vogue at the
beginning of the secular year.
This New Year is a Day of Me
morial, of a "Day of Remember
auce,” on which the Jew is remind
ed of his duty and responsibility
as a citizen and a member of the
human family. llis affiliation
w ith bis community binds him to
do his share towards the promo
tion of the cultural and construc
tive eudeavors of mankind.
Among American Jews, New-
Year's Day is dignified by a high
spiritual message.enjoiniug greater
devotion to God and country, ex
pressed in public worship. It is
also used as an occasion to ex
change greetings between the home
in which the hope is voiced that
they may be enrolled and inscrib
ed for prosperity, happiness and
service in the ensuing year.
