PELHAM, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1923.
LET’S KEEP COOL.
Pelham is having the most spirited city election -that has
orcured in many years. The principal fight focuses on the
candidates who are offering for mayor, with the lines very
sharply drawn, all the wav down, through those who are as¬
piring to be councilmeu.
Each side in the contest has brought out soukC splendid
candidates, and we believe that a good mayor and council will
be chosen for the coming year.
There seems to be no great fight waged by either party
on the merits or personal qualifications of the candidates of
the other side. Nor is there any great issue involved as to_
the affairs of the town, strictly speaking.
But. it is an old fashioned factional fight, with all the
bitterness and accusations tli^t have characterized races of
this kind since the birth of politics.
Asa newspaper, the Journal has no comment to make
on the election. We aspire to remain neutral in all personal
differences that, from time to time, will of necessity arise
among our friends.
If your chickens scratch up your neighbor’s gdrdeii,
and you have a friendly fisticuff some morning before break
fast, we do not intend to write a blistering editorial eondeming
either of you.
After you have had your fight and cooled off, you will
again he friends, and as a newspaper we do wish to become
involved in your difficulties.
The political differences in Pelham are very wide today,
and it may seem that they can never lie closed up again, but
the history of politics reads a different lesion.
Don’t get too excited. The trail of politics has mapy
queer turnings, and those who are your bitterest enemies to¬
day will probably be your closest friends tomorrow.
The Journal does not believe that either faction is
threatening any of their rights, or any of* the institutions
upon which our civilization is built.
So keep cool and meet your enemy with a smile, for

PEACH EXCHANGE
MAY DISSOLVE
Unless many new members
secured at once, the Georgia Peach
Growers Exchange will be dissolv
ed. This action was decided on
at a meeting of the board of direc¬
tors of the organization at the
Hotel Lanier, in Macon Monday.
An intensive campaign will be
put on Thursday and Friday of
this week to secure the new mem¬
bers necessary and unless the drive
is successful, the dissolution will
follow. The motion outlining the
plan was passed without opposition.
The meeting was termed the
most important since the organi
zation of the exchange was under¬
taken. A motion to abandon the
organization was made, but final
action was taken to make one
more attempt fo secure enough
contracts to assure the success of
the exchange.
The peach exchange was organi¬
zed many years ago, and has ser¬
ved a great need since that time.
It is hoped that its troubles will be
remedied so that it may continue
its work,

COMMON COWS
GIVE RICH CREAM
In discussion, the question is
very often raised as to whether or
not it pays to milk what we call
“common cows”.
If you have feed and the cows,
it pays without a doubt. We are
glad to publish below a letter from
Mr. Butler, which covers the situ
ation very thoroughly.
You will notice that Mr. Butler
has sold one oan of cream for
$9.38, which is the record price
for a-can, so far as we have heard,
If you have shipped a can that
brought more than that amount
please let us hear from you.
