Newspaper Page TextMiller County Liberal. Entered in the Postoffice at Colquitt as second class matter. Published every Wednesday. Joseph and Zula Toole, Editors. Subscription, $1 (X) a year, COLQUITT, GL, Aug. Ist, 1917 Here lies the body of William Draper, A warning to those who pass; He lived sixty years without a paper, And then—blew out the gas. The melon-colic days are on the ebb. Speaking of “hot air”--wl>er", oh, where can any other be found now ? The ice man is the most popular fellow that we know. Evtrybody is looking for him. When a fellow sobs rs up from a jag he immediately begins laying the fcundation for another roaring drunk, and the shade of red he will use in painting up the town There is nothing that causes s< much trouble among neighbors a> hobo chickens. Keep up you l chickens and thus goo -■> the good will of your neighbors. Os what use is it for the li.cai gaper to suggest imp.ovemont, and new enterprises if the sugges tions are never acted upon?” Rq Van Winkle slumbering must go if anything is accomplished. The luscious scuppernong sea son is near at. hand, You can now only enjoy the fruit as you gatln r it from the vine, for the bone dry law forbid the making of that ex hilarating and sparkling beveragi classified as wine. A young man would like to know what is the best thing to be dont when one sits down on a custan pie at a picnic. About the best thing that we know of would be 1. still hold the pie down until every body have gone hom *. Naughty husbands bad best call a halt. A few days ago a Macon woman decided that her hubby had waxed a little too gay and sb. treated him to % pistol solo which he huriedly and wisely refused to listen to —much less encore. Says the St. Louis Republic: “The young man who claimed’ ex emption because he didn’t lik< beans was about as logical assom. others.” Yes; and when it comes to serving bullets with beans it sings a medley that, is not very har monious, especially to the felloe who is a little gun-shy. Preserved plums, put up twenb one years ago were served recently at, a wedding supper in Kansas Toe bride was an infant when th. preserves were made. Wonder i* after twenty-one years of marrin life the woman will be as sweet t< his lordship ns she was on thei wedding day ? The county unit system and th. popular vote system seem to b< the subject of quite a bit of dis cussion among individuals and newspapers. It seems to us I ha* a suggestion on how to keep coo’ during this hot weather and wh.i the be.ze doesn’t blow reguffir o. ice isn't cheaper would be more apptopriate. A fellow in one of the Eastern states made a junk* shop of his stomach, ant! that organ becam. so restless taut an operation wat decided upon, which re. It'd the fact that he had swallowed : tit hundred and fifty picees of m< ud from an ordinary piu up to a large: screw. That part of the fellow’s • anatomy must been intended for an Alligator. 0 G. M. i A Mistake Krom The Macon Telegraph. Governor Dorsey will make a grave gohtical mistake if he sue cessfully throws his influence back of the ever-recurrent movement to eliminate the State convention of the party and with it, necessarily the county unit plan of Statewide computation. There is of course a Strong ar gument based on the fact that “one man’s vote is as good as an other’s, whether he live in city or countryside,” which would make a good case for those who contend that in a Statewide race the candi date in the primary getting the most, of all the votes poHed in the State should have the nomina tion. But there is another angle to that, one that in the end works fo’ better representation and fairer politics, rough arid tumble and sometimes manipulative though our conventions may be. TheJState wide popular vote plan places the gov.rnment of the State in the hands of the cities and takes it largely from the hands ot the country people. The great registration of the cities, one half dozen of them in Georgia, makes-.a voting proper tior. that can be frequently be voted together under organization. This susceptibility to discipline on ' he part of the city vote, its greater proneness to vote in unity if not with complete intelligence, pro vides opportunity for half a dozen little groups of local city organiz ers end political experts to form a compact and run the whole Slate for the benefit, of the cities. The county unit plan has its faults, but it does pretty welt ex press the party’s will on matters. It slips np and things go awry with it all right, but we are in clined to believe they would slip ■ much oftenei’ under the Statewide plan. The question of right en ters, too, in that we are a collection >f counties and commonwealth ac don should not bo taken withc.ui ‘acb and every county as an entity to itself has bad a chance to make its influence felt and to state its case. The Governor bad best leav. •his thing alone. He probably ir sincere about it, but when an ex eutive who is young and gener .Uy conceded to have a political future before him, goes to tinker tig with election laws, he opens i mself up to some suspicion. The above article from one ot be cleanest dailies in the country, s timely and fully covers tie iround on which the argument i based. Steer Your Own Ship Young men, yon are the archi tects of your own fortunes Rely upon your own'strength o' tody and mind. Take for youi 'uidingstar, self-reliance, Don’t ake too much advice —keep at ,’oiir helm and steer your own shij ind remember that the great art if commanding is to take a fair share of the work. Think well of yourself. Strike out. Assume your own posstiou. Put potatoes in a cart and drive over h rough road and the small ones will go to the bottom. Rise above the envious and jealous. Ei r e above the mark you intend to hit. Energy, invincible determination, with a right mo tive, are the levers that move th. world. Be in earnest. Be gener ous. Be civil. Read t b e papers. Advertise your business. Makt money* and do good with it. On A Vacation Our County Demonstrator, Mr. LT*. Pinkston, will be absent from .’..iquitt from August t»th. to Au gust 2Jrd on a vacation.
