And the United States senate, fol
lowing the precept of the Georgia
solons, has gone and deadlocked.

________
Atlanta has another sensational
murder trial on hand, But that’s
nothing new in Atlanta.
Hiram Johnson has been as silent
on the president’s message as the
president was on his policies before
it was delivered.
The death of William Pinkerton, fa
mous detective, will cause many of
the youths of the land to wonder if
the mantle of Pinkerton will fall on
him.
After remaining in obscurity for
all these years, Richmond Pearson
Hobson ha ■ been heard from at last;
this time in Los Angeles. And he
hasn’t broken into the movies, as yet.
The enormous number of bills that
have already been introduced in the
American congress spells hard-sled¬
ding for the party in power. It
shows that “everybody wants some¬
thing” and that many are going to
be disappointed.
A few cents invested in Christmas
seals will be a few cents well invest¬
ed. There are thousands who are af¬
flicted rwho are helpless and who are
at the mercy of a charitable world.
They should not be left to die without
an effort to save them.
The Thomas', ike Times-Enterprise
very properly sums up the situation
this wise: “The most asinine thing
that was ever proposed seriously in
our legislative body, and there have
been some superbly asinine things in
some o r them, is to impose a five per
cent tax on gross income. It begins
to look as if the legislature didn’t
really understand what gross means
or what it would involve.”
Just one hundred years ago, the fa¬
mous statesman, Charles John
ring, delivered a speech in
Fngland, containing much sound ad
vice regarding a nation’s
sbips with its neighbors, advice which
is by no means outworn today. He
declared, for example, that Great
Britains “ultimate object must be the
peace of the world.” Even in 1823,
evidently, some statesmen were
glimpsing the truth that seif-seeking
in a people is as unwise and profitable
as in an individual.
The poultry rhisers of Glynn are
making a reputation that is attract¬
ing statewide attention. This indus
I try, during past two or three years,
has made phenomenal progress and is
today one of the greatest sources of
revenue of any in this county. The
stock is the best obtainable and there
are thousands of chickens now on the
farms of Glynn where but a short
time ago there were but a few of the
common stock. Glynn is making pro¬
gress in every line of endeavor, but
none that shows greater accomplish¬
ment than in the poultry and cattle
industry—and these can’t be very
well excelled.
Great progress is declared to have
been made since 1900 in the care of
•tuberculosis. The District of Colum
bia, in 1900. lost annually 492 colored
and 183 white victims of the great
white plag-ue; while in 1922, the loss
of colored victims was only 216, and
of white, 62. But these figures take
no account of the increase of total
population during the twenty-three
years. The proportion per capita
shows that the saving of life
year was equivalent to 687. These
i-aures are given out in connection
with the campaign of the Washington
Tuberculosis Association to sell
Chrbtmas seals, aid the work of
spreading infornration on how to com
feat the-disease.
! ,lRED heads” and ambition
The girl students of the
of Minnesota answered a
naire as to the kind of husband
I wanted. Good looks, money,
! chivalry and other qualifications catoe
in for tne usual number of votes, says
i the Atlanta Georgian,

yet no red hair.
True, Thomas Jefferson was red¬
headed—and so was the late Tom
Watson, of Georgia. Many people
think Jefferson was the very smartest
ar.d most ambitious man of his day
and time.—just as many Georgians
think the same of the late Tom Wat
son. But there were sharp and vital
differences of opinion as to that; and
besides, they were exceptions to the
rule.
And there is William Jennings
Bryan and Georgia’s own “Bill” Har¬
ris. You could have no possible doubt
of their ambition; and yet the two or
three hairs that each has left upon
the top of his head arc not red. Even
Dr. Cook is not red-haired—and yet
his ambition led him to jail.
Do not impose this limitation upon
the boys, dear lady. Marry the one
who first finds his way to your heart.
If his hair is yellow or green or ab¬
sent, forgive him. lie may still make
an ideal husband.
OUR IMMENSE POSTAL
BUSINESS
it is only ten years since parcel
post service was established in the
United States, but the voluime of bus¬
iness thus handled has reached 2,000,
.000,000 packages a year. That is five
times as much traffic as any express
company handles. It covers a range I
cf varieties of articles running from
live chickens, a day old, up (or down)
to sample bricks. All sorts of mer¬
chandise is shipped in that service.
It is now found that parcel post ser¬
vice requires such different handling
from that of letters that the Post¬
master General and his staff of as¬
sistants are seriously considering the
need of establishing a separate bu¬
reau and staff to meet its peculiar
nee{ ] s _
Americans write 12,000,000,000 let
t ers annually-—a billion a month, or
pgg letters annually for each inhabi
tant. According to Paul V. Collins,
this is the largest business enterprise
in the world, and it involves problems
0 f management which only experts
of life-long experience can compre¬
hend. A minor change made within
the last three months in the handling
of parcel post traffic is called for the
addition of 7,000 operators. Its to¬
tal volume of business now exceeds
$600,000,000 a year, and Postmaster
General New predicts that within the
,
next ten days it will pass the billion
dollar mark.
CHRISTMAS SAVINGS CLUBS
When this plan of encouraging peo¬
ple to save money was first put for¬
ward, little consideration was given
to it and it required a number of
year-s to induce the bankers of the
country to take hold of the plan and
introduce it in their banks. Leo Good¬
man, a bank clerk in a Memphis bank
conceived the idea and so well did he
think of it he finally persuaded the
officers of the bank with which he was
j ! corrected to allow plan him jumped to try into it out in
j. ba j- c ;ty. The pop
LI ; ar ;ty with the masses and today his
plan is in use in practically every
bank in the nation. Not only wage
earners, clerks and those with small
incomes use this system of savings,
but many firms carry a Christmas
savings account in order to meet spe
cial obligations such as taxes and in
surance and the like. A small amount
j epos ited each week amounts to a
: eo nsiderab!e sum at the end of the
! and vet it is not noticeable in the

It is a plan which every one should
adopt and acquire, the saving habit,
In Brunswick this month many
thousands of dollars will be paid out
to the Christmas saving
This money will be spent among the
merchants in all lines and every one
will receive direct and indirect bene
nt from the savings clubs.
zNo better new year resolution
be made than to take out a Christ
mas savings account for next year
and each week deposit a small amount
and at the end of the year you will
have a neat sum to your credit which
you would not have had otherwise.
It is worth considering and when you
commence the new year, remember to
make your Christmas saving club
of your resolutions and obligations
for 1924.

BAD ADVERTISING FOR
GEORGIA
Over in Georgia men can whip
a widow, go free at their trial
and receive the ringing applause
of the crowd in the court house.—
Montgomery Advertiser.
This kind of advertising does
gia a great deal j„_i of . harm, -..... but — as long
as such things occur in this state it
will continue to go abroad. It brings
us again to the proposition of educa
tion. The-people of Georgia must be
educated to the point where if the
nority is not decent enough to refrain
f rorn mob methods, the majority will
be intelligent enough to put a stop to
such disordeis.
One paragraph like tnat quoted ^
from The Advertiser, will do move
harm than can be overcome bj
oi advertising setting forth the ad
vantages of the state. People want to
know before they come here that they
wdl not be taken out and flogged,
they want to know that Georgia has
laws that twill give them protection,
If they don’t know these things they
will not come to this state.
THE AMERICAN MAN-KILLEIl
The man-eating tigers of India and
adjacent regions have long taken
their annual toll. The figures
their “kill” in recent years are not
at hand, but we safely coiclude
it falls below that of American auto
mobiles, mobiles. lit In 1917 1917 there there were were nine
deaths from automobile accidents to
every ±00,000 of population in the
United States. In 1921 the fatali
, ties from this cause had risen to 11.5.
! For 1922 the figures showed a death
rate of 12.5, no less than 11,066 per
sons be j n jr killed by automobiles in
: that year.
With speed first and-safety second
! the slogan in so many cases, the won
del* is that the death toll of the Am*
erican niankiller is not greater. From
the point of view of safety for both
pedestrians and the speeders, the
worst of it is that the number of cars
continually increases, making more
difficult tho enforcement of speed lim
j its system cr ihe likely operation to of adequate. any regulatory The
prove
percentage of fatalities is certain to

1 lie demands -more or less radical

j si res to bring it down.
