The decision of tlie supreme court
as to whether foreign ships can enter
American ports with liquor aboard
is attracting more attention just now
than why the piice of sugar to Am¬
erican consumers has more than
doubled within the past few weeks.
The latter proposition needs some
attention in the meantime.
The Department of Labor reports
labor shortage as general through¬
out the United States and holds that
this foreshadows general prosperity
Let us hope that the industrial situ
ation and outlook offer firm founda¬
tion for the Department's optimism
even while one refLcts that political
expediency just now demands a rosy
\ iew.
The universal hope is expressed
that Brunswick is not to lose George
C. Smith as a citizen, lie is one oi
the leading spirits in every enter¬
prise and movement looking to the
upbuilding ami development of this
city, giving unsparingly of his tinn
arid genius. Brunswick can ill-ufford
to lose this valuable and popular cit¬
izen,'and his charming wife.
Brunswick will delight to pay hon¬

this distinguished Georgian has come
this way since being elected to tin
senate and' a genuine Brunswick wel¬
come awaits him. Senator George
will be one of the principal speaker;
on the program at the convention.

the development of the three river,

through, and there is no doubt but
that it will, the greatest developmeti;
of waterways ever undertaken in tin

There i.s little surprise that Sec re

BABSOiN ADVISES MERCHANTS
TO ADVERTISE
Roger W. Babson, the famous sta¬
tistical and business expert, in a re¬
cent letter discussing conditions,
gives the following advice to mer¬
chants:
“During the next few months lo¬
cal merchants should advertise. Na¬
tional manufacturers arc utilizing
the great power of advertising in the
distribution of their products. The
successful department stores are also
using large space in the newspapers;
but the smaller retailer has yet fail¬
ed to advertise as he should. Per¬
haps this is why he is small—one
cannot -tell. There surely is some
reason why the people flock to otu
merchant and pass by another.
‘‘Statistics certainly indicate that
the reason is closely connected with
the advertising. Let me also
i his occasion to urge retailers to use
.he newspapers in a dignified wav
rather than than attempting attempting to to use bill
hoards anti novelty contrivances.
“During the past two months 1
have motored considerably through¬
out different sections of the country.
At almost every cross-road is som>
airt of a sign, a windmill or some¬
thing else sold to some bank or mer¬
chant who thought he had discovered
a cheaper or more effective mothoi
of advertising than his newspaper of¬
fered.
“As a matter of fact, he uncoil
■seiously disfigures the highways, en¬
dangers life and makes enemies in¬
stead of friends. Merchandising is a
profession and should be treated in
i dignified way. Moreover, hov.
banks can adopt such cheap appeal¬
ing methods of publicity is beyon
the comprehension of most business
men. Yet 1 understand the tempta¬
tion, having once fallen for outdooi
advertising myself much against the
aviso of an advertising agency which
handles our copy.”
COMMODITY SELLING
_
Jn the current: issue of The Gcor
gia Market Bulletin a simple but
pointed and unanswerable argument
in favor of the co-op: ralive system
of selling farm products appears in a
parallel column under the title
“Which Will You Choose?” The
viletin gives the following as tin
results of co-operative marketing:
“Correct grades, elimination o’
waste, orderly and intelligent sell
big, selling direct to users, advance
naynients to members, selling on sta
pies, stabilized prices, full proceed;
to growers, ‘always successful,’ pros
perity.”
And the following: as the results
,f independent marketing:
“Undergrading, country damage
lumping and distress selling, profit:
. :> middlemen, buyers finance.1 instead
of growers, .growers not
Maple value, speculative and fluctu
-,pj>ir i rice g price paid by consumei
|...j, 0 middleman, never pro
fif.gDio to growers, poverty.”
This is a striking and forceful par
did. Of course, not every farnre
who sells his products independently
nor even an overwhelming number o'
hem, meet with all of the distress
ing features of marketing cited by
The Bulletin, and yet it is an undis¬
puted fact that cooperative selling,
where the cooperatives have beer.
properly organized, has tended to¬
ward better results generally, and in
many instances has lifted the farme:
from poverty to success. As pointed
>ut, the co-operative system serve;
to more properly grade the products,
aid by orderly distribution and stair
dardization of grades, it accordingly
server to stabilize the products.
First of all, commodities and not
sections should be organized, how
! over, and the greatest care should be
taken that the co-operatives have be
|,j n ,] them successful, honest, depend
able business men who will manage
the" associations for the individual
interests of every member, large and
small, and not in the interest of any
special or favored group of produc
or ,.
Co-operative marketing is an a
j ,q.(.p and ought to revolution
ize production in those commoditie
i pccia'ly that are lining experiment¬
ed with in the effort to find satisfa
lory cash crops other than cotton.
Indeed, i* ough to be a h'-lpfui age;:
cy in all farm operations.
NEGRO AND THE SOUTH
j __
’din exodus of negroes from thr
| South to the Northern and New Eng
| land states, which has been the sun
jo- f of universal comment
is presented by the Atlanta Oonsti
tuition in its usual fair and impnr
tipi. ... i.j r in a recent issue. That
hie paper fays:
The pV ,. association';; bVofffrli! nw*
of ton the other night the follow
is den.dicant dispatch:
‘‘The large number of negro labor
ory and farm hands, who arc arriving
here from Georgia, in the majority
I cases destitute, homeless and friend
i less, has created a serious problem
i for the chief industrial cities of New
England, according' to a statement
issued by the New England chamber
of commerce officials today
“Numerous protests have/ been re¬
ceived from chambers of commerce
and boards of trade in New Hamp¬
shire, Connecticut and Massachu¬
setts. |
•'It is alleged that considerable |
false propaganda has already caused J
the migration of nearly 25,000 he-J
groes from Georgia to the New Eng- j
land states. Visions of high indus- i
trial wages, which are not available, |
a demand for cheap unskilled labor,;
which does not exist, and the alleged i
attractive living conditions for the I
negro, in New England, are advanced
as the magnet drawing the negroes j
here.
“In some cities the number of un- [
\ employed and homeless negroes late- j
| ly arriving from Georgia, has already ;
\ P resented a senous P r ° blem - Ur B cnl
requests that some action be taker, 1
have been received by the state de- ;
partment of labor.”
This is a lamentable condition, but ■
nothing more than expected by those ]
who have been watching the drift of l
the southern negroes to the north
during the past few months.
The seriousness of the negroes’ ;
personal status is perhaps more
in Boston than elsewhere, for '
acute
while that city has been the seat of
much of the inexcusable propaganda
as to alleged racial conditions in the
south, and has been foremost in its i
wholly misguided and unfortunate
doctrines of equality, injecting germs !
of social poison into the negro instead
of helping him to become a shrifty.'
useful, self-sustaining unit in the
country’s industrial life, it has for
years been noticeable that Boston’s
“love” of the southern negro is at
long range, and then only along lines ;
proposed by various Boston racial so¬
cieties that have only mischievous j
purposes in view.
However, there is no doubt that
southern negroes have been lured to
all sections, of the north by falsi
promises, while some of them
a great many of them perhaps— have :
found employment, they have also
found expenses and living conditions j
different from the unfolded pictures, j
And the result has been that thou
.
sands have gone and come, and other
thousands would like to come back if
they had the means to pay their ex¬
penses back.
During the winter hundreds of
them died in the north from cold
and exp arc, and accordingly huu
i deeds of them came back in boxes at
the expense of home folks whom they ;
left. behind.
; And yet, with the advent of spling ■
the exodus has perhaps increased, it -
| * s n °t as alarming, however, as ha
been pictured. There is no acute
shortage of farm labor in Georgia on ;
account of it. Editor McIntosh, in
a communication to The Constitution
a few days ago, said that the out¬
ward tide fr >m his section had been
stemmed, a.id that they were return
j ing abor as fast as they were going,
And th*- negro who returns is a bottei
negro, and a thriftier negro for the
experience.
Discussing the situation The Tif
ton Gazette secs a final good result
from Hie exodus. It says:
“We believe that in the exodus of
negroes to the north and east lies the
solution of the so-called race prob¬
lem in this country. When the north¬
erner and easterner has to live next
door to the negro, he will understand
! him better. With the removal of the
j negro from the south, the southern
j white man, missing his labor, will ap
I predate the value of that labor more
I Removed from the south, and livin’
' among northern .people, to the negro
! will come realization that here ho
! did not appreciate what the friend¬
j ddp and understanding of the tru
[ southern white man meant to him,
' urd what it was worth,
| There hope is truth that in the this situation thought; and
l et us ma.
| help to relieve a condition of rack 1 !
on the part of irrespon.s-
1 ble elements in Georgia, and the
whole south, that will redound to a
i better understanding in the future.
As the Gazette also sayS most
| truthfully—
“If those interested in keeping an
i ample supply of negro labor in Geor
! gia will take the trouble to see that
i the negro is not made the victim of
I the whim of every blood-crazed nv>b
then we will have less complaint oi
; a negro exodus.”
] There is a veritable sermon in the
j sentence. Negro labor in the south
can never be satisfactorily replaced,
j The human hope of this country is
1 in thy.pure AsfLwSaxon Mood of th
fttJvYru tfjsjeh,: shill and (ltd spare th’-.
ciny when it sever be- cunfami-
1 listed with the alien 'blood of ‘he
scums of European immigration.
; The social lines between the white
at-1 the black arc tightly drawn in
the south, as they should be, and a?
the better element of the negroes
themselves expect them 'to be. It is
not drawn anywhere as to the immi¬
grant aliep blood, much of- wicli is an
admixture of eveiy stiain on earth.
Let us hope that the 'present situa¬
tion may bring about an awakening
in the south as to what negro labor
is worth, and as to the duty of the
southern white man to treat it with
the fairness it deserves.

fully darkened, glossy and attractive ]
■with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. dull, 1
Whenever her hair took on that ;
faded streaked appearance, this sim- 1
or
pie mixture: was applied with wonder¬
ful effect. By asking at any drug store
for “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com¬ of
pound,” vou will get a large bottle
this old-time recipe, improved by the
addition of other ingredients, all ready
to use, at very little cost. This sim¬
ple mixture can be depended upon the to
restore natural color and beauty to
hair. i
Well-known druggists say everybody
uses Wyeth’s' Sage it and darkens Sulphur Com- j !
pound now because that nobody so natur- tell it
ally and evenly can
has been applied—it’s simply dampen so easy comb to use,
too. You a or
soft brush and draw it through your
hair, taking one strand at a time. By
morning the gray hair disappears; af¬
ter another application or two, it is re¬
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and beautiful.

EVERY town has its “big house on the hill’—-a rich man
who has become financially independent and is perhaps the

But the base of all this prosperity has been thrift. He
has banked his money—then invested wisely with the co¬
operation of his banking connections.
Yes, the big house on the hill is built on the sound found¬
