Get behind that Board of Trade
next week and see Fred Warde get
on that smile that won’t come off.
We are rather in the opinion that
Senator Newberry will not he able
to weather that next tempest that i
threatens to engulf him.
In passing, we very much hope
that ito future*, our good friends over
in Camden will be able to laundry all j
of tbeir political linen within their I
own boundries.
Remember that zero hour in 'the
Red Cross roll call from two to three
o’clock thife afternoon. When you
respond/ to that call, you will have
won a l/adge of honor.
Recoih another one for the onward
and upward trend of the dear wom
en. Miss Florence Allen has been
elected a member of the state supreme
court in Ohio. Of course Miss Al
len is a good Democrat!
We have been looking in vain for
several days for some explanation
from Chairman Mondell of Wyom
ing, who also went down in the ava
laneh of Democratic voters last Tues
day.
The fact that Woodrow Wilson says
lie was happy yesterday ought to
make every other Democerat in the
country happy. He is the one grand
entity of his pary, whom tftne will
only serve to make bigger _
The good people in the Peach
county section ought to forget it. The
people of Georgia did not intend to
reflect on any of them. It was the
lobby that they were after and we
are of the-opinion that they got what
they wanted.
Thanks to the indefatigable work
of Mrs, Mardge B. Merritt, our live
and energetic home demonstrator, we
are to have another county fair in
a week or ten days. We ar e per
suaded that it will be a splendid suc
cess.
Former Premier Clemenceau sailed
for America? He comes without
governmental assignment and on his
own free account. America will be
pleased to honor the 1- rench Tiger
and the chances are that she will lis
ten to th e message he brings to her..
Brunswick lias just one more driVe
on now- before that Thanksgiving tur
key and we must do our full duty

THE GLYNN COUNTY FAIR
It will be gratifying to the public
to know that there will again, he a
county fair at Thanksgiving time in
Brunswick.
A fair in the true sense of the word,
is an educational institution and
wherever an attempt ;s being made to
carry bn hgHtultural activities of any
kind it is indespensable jpr onlv in
the wa.y can the progress of the
commuity be kept up with.
Those who are familiar with the
reports sent to Washington by the
census takers of 1922 are more than
pleased with the wonderful advances
made in Glynn county in the last two
years along the lines of trucking,
fruit, berry and nut growing, live
stock and poultry raising and dairy
ing. which always carries with it
an increaded production of feed stuc
Mrs. Madge B- Merritt, home dein
oonstrator for Glynn county, who is
possibly in closer touch with the coun
ty at larg e than any other person in
it, has just completed her annual re
port to be sent to the United State:
department of agriculture. This re
port shows a market increase in pro
duction in 1922 despite the poor
weather conditions which have pre
vailed, over that of last year in every
line of endeavor _
it will be remembered that the tap
last year was a great surprise to ev
ery one and it was* hoped that wc
might attempt something more elab
orate this year but plans to that ef
feet fell through.
Mrs. Merritt feels that it would be
a great set back to the cause of de
velopment for the fair to lapse even
a single year. Therefore she liar,
1 been working throughout the year
•ith the people and the communities
white and colored, as a re
♦ of which they are all of the same
that we must have a fair.
; time is now at hand for actual
to begin and Mrs. Merritt has
•ly to remind the various or

up a large space and will be beauti
ful and comprehensive in every way.
This year a beginning will be made
at live stock showing and the Slynn
County Poultry Breeders association
will put on Tin connection with the
fair what will be, judging from pres
ent plans, a show that will far ex
ceed anything ever attempted in this
part of the state.
The development of the poultry in
dustry of Glynn county since the lit
tle show on the front porch of the
Oglethorpe hotel was held in the fall
of 1920 jS nothing short of marvelous
and it is predicted by the State Col
lege of Agriculture at Athens, that
in the next five years if the industry
continues to grow in proportion to
its past three years of growth, Glynn
county will be one of the leading
poultry producers of the state of
Georgia, not only in quantity but the
high class of the stock on hand will
draw many a dollar for breeding
stuff.
WHEN SELFISHNESS DESERVES
COMMENDATiqfC
Gold medals are being pinned on
various eoproration executives for
their good work in the Safety-first
movement.
A specially large medal should be
struck off for that powerful force,
Human Selfishness. For selfishness
is back of the Safety First m Jvement.
just as it is back of most othejr hu
man activities.
Corporations originally began cam
paigns against accidents, not primari
ly to save human life, but ( to save
themselves against damage suits aris
ing from the list of killed and injured.
The humane motive is more ex
istent now.
Incidentally, corporations have dis
covered that SI.OO spent in prevent
ing accidents often pays back
in lower accident claims. The safety
movement is profitable, so it’ll go
on, as a simple investment, long after
all of us ar e dead.
In analyzing a situation or a sug
gestion of any sort a clear compre
hension of the matter is more quick
ly arrived at by remembering that 99
times out of 100 someone is seeking
a profit.
When pulley wheels had spokes,
people occasionally got caught, in
them and were either killed or crip
pie. Someone invented a solid fly
wheel, without spokes. It is easy tc
sell,on the simple argument that it
will save human life and limb. But
the selfish eliment crops out in the
invention and manufacture of the im
proved, safe-guard wheel —for profit,
n. selfish motive.
So it goes, all the way from a poll
ticians seeking office down to the
simple transaction of borrowing a
lawn-mower.
The presence of a selfish motive in
nearly every possible situation and
proposal should not make any one
cynical.
The very fact that the backers of
the “thing” are after a profit makes
its success more -certain.
Men do these things best, in which
they have a chance to profit person
ally. It is ihe old law of achieve
ment, working toward a definite gold
—harvest''' ; the crop from toil.
The profit sough by the force of
selfishness, of course. j S not always
money. It may be fame or the innel
- to one’s vanity in hav
ing accomplished a good deed.
Even charity, according to phycho
logists, usually is manifestation of
vanity—makes the giver “feel better.”
AN END TO THE NEW COUNTY
CRAZE.
♦
In the interest of peace and liar
mony in a very fine section of the
state* we are really sorry that the
Peach county matter came up at
this particular time. It had come
along a few years ago, when the, job
of creating new -counties was in popu
lar favor, it. might have been adjust
ed the one way or other, without
leaving any bitterness in the section
in question.
As tile matter now stands we fear
Uiat some wounds have been left that
will not soon be eliminate and these
estrangements will not make for the
proper growth and* development of
that section of Georgia. However, we
know the people of the state meant in
cast no reflection on the one side or
the other in the controversy. All
Georgians realize that this particular
portion is one of th e garden spots of
Georgia, x the heart oT her peach belt
and that in this territory there dwells
some of the finest Georgians in the
whole commonwealth _
The trouble with the thing is that
there has been a lobby at work in this!
new county business and Georgians
wanted to squelch it. They may have
been—w e believe that there'was, real
merit in the Peach countv case, but il
suffered because of a bad practice
that has governed; it was a victim
of-Qircumstanges, ;
: the sitflatibn is viewed
from different angles by the news
papers of the state, in discussing the
defeat of the amendment. For in
stance, here is what the Savani’dii
Press says about it.

This seems to have been the
only issue which attracted atten
tion in the general election in
Georgia.
And yet, the contest was in
evitable. There is no special
reflections upon tile people who
were back of the new county.
But the state of Georgia is against
this crusade of cuttiijg up the old
counties and of carving out new
units to please some enterpris
ing t vn. and to placate ambiti
ous property lioldijrs.
The movement which started
In 1904 and extended to tire larg
er counties in South Georgia, has
gone ton. grow fig mJi il it has
reached unusual limits. At that
time there were 137 counties in
Georgia). Now there are 160, an
increase of twenty-three. Not
