Sunday morning from 1 Cor. 1855;
Love Thinketh no Evil" touched
some OF the vital questions OF the
day. The pastor said this phrase:
'ihinketh no evil' is much abused
in the minds OF men. Love, as a
divine quality in man, is not to
blind his eyes or shackle his judg-
ment Love is thinker, a work
CT, an observer. Love is that in.
visible quality that determines the
course OF action in life's vocations.
The Bible tells Us of many kinds
love. Paul SAYS: THE love of
money is the root OF all evil, aud
that "Demas hath forsaken me hav-
ing loved this present world" But
the love spoken OF in the text is
that which the apostle spoke of
when he said; Love worketh no

OF for evil, according to the quail,

Economy the WatchwOrd

Economy in the management of
the Office will be the aim of W. c.
North, candidate for sheriff of Multi
norIah county, provided he is elect
ed to that position. He is certain
he can save the taxpayers of this
county large sum of money each
year.
At the present time the deputies
of the county assessor compile the
assessments, another force of mex
perienced deputies are then employ
ed by the county clerk to extend the
tax roll and still another force of
inexperienced deputies IS hired by
the sheriff to collect the taxes. The
result of all this is plain. There is
loss of time and consequently loss
money to the taxpayers. There are
also questions put to the men who
are collecting the taxes which they
possibly cannot answer as they do
not understand them and the result
is that the taxpayers are told to in
terview the county assessor or some
other official. After being buffeted
about from one to another the tax.
payer gives up in disgust without
gaining the information he desires
in regard to his taxes.
North would change this system
and promises the voters that he
will endeavor TO cooperate with
the county assessor and county
clerk in adopting an entirely new
policy in this work. He would
take the deputies from the county
assessors Office when they have
completed the assessments, and
place them at work extending the
tax rolls. Being acquainted with
the books and the assessments this
work would progress much more
accurately aud satisfactorily than
il an entire new force OF deputies
was employed by the county clerk.
After the tax rolls had been extend.
ed, he would take the same force
of deputies which made up the as
sessmcnts and extended the tax
roll aud put them at work collect
ing the taxes Knowing how they
had assessed the property, any
question put to them by the tax.
payers could be speedily answered
aud endless confusion avoided.
In this manner the work OF as.
sessing, extending the tax roll aud
collecting the taxes could be done
more efficiently aud much more
quickly aud at great saving to
the taxpayers, and at the same
time give the general public an op.
portunity of securing information
OF their taxes that is due them,
promptly aud correctly.

will tour the state in a, large automo-
bile, visiting as many points in south

as much as possible in winning every
vote from the south Georgia citizens.
His main topic of discussion will be the

the amount planted.
Rains during the past week have ma
terially strengthened the optimists' opin-
ion of the yield, and it is expected that
1912 will bring as much cotton into the
market as 1910. the total yield for which
year was around $1,000 bales. Corn is
in much better condition than two weeks

naturally a conservative and a law
abiding people. Why is the law held
in such contempt by so many or our
citizens? It is because they have lost
faith in the law as administered IN
Georgia. They see murderers, rob-
bers, whiskey sellers, pistol "toters,
and other criminals, as guilty as Cam
himself, escape justice, day after day.
either in the lower or higher courts,
through some absurd legal technical
ity. The escape of these guilty crlml-
nails, without any punishment, has
two very evil results-frstly,. it en-
courages crime, and secondly, 1T pro-
vokes mob law and all the terrible
consequences that follow in its wake.
If the people of Georgia should honor
me with a seat on the court Of ap-
peals, should decline to grant new
trial in any case, on technical point
where the record showed that sub
stantial justice had been given IN the

S30,000,00O ADDED
TO GEORGIA CORN YIELD
Since Organization of Corn
Clubs, Crops Value Has
increased Enormously

When Wilmer L. Moore. president
OF the chamber Of commerce, told z.
r. DuBose. of the Chamberlin-John-
son-DuBose company. in a converse
ton a few DAYS ago. that since the
organization of the boys corn clubs
over the state the yield had increased
Sl0.0O0,0oO in the past five years, he
did not know that his statement would
become generally known.
1t sounded almost impossible to Mr..
DuBose. that there could be such an
increase in the corn crop, and he told
lots OF his friends about IL. Several
Of them went to Mr.. Moore. the author
Of the story, and wanted to know how
he knew.
He just knew, he said but in orter
TO substsntiate his figures and show
the unbelieving that he knew whereof
he spoke, Mr.. Moore wrote ]. Phil
Campbell. state agent for the boys
and girls corn club work.
Mr.. Campbell answered immediate
ly. and on receipt of tlae information
that the increase was triple that
claimed by him, wrote Mr.. DuBose as
follows:
I'm seeking information relative TO
the increased yield Of corn in this
state, and the revenue derived there
from, I quote from a letter Of J. Phil
College OF Agriculture, Athens, Ga. De-
ing state agent for the boys and girls
corn club work:
1.-The boys corn club work has been
in progress in Georgia since 1905; the
demonstration work since 1908. The
corn clubs were not organized by the
University Of Georgia until 1909, sine
then they have been directed by both
the State College of Agriculture and
the demonstration work in co-opera-
ton.
The average yield per acre at the
beginning Of the corn club and dem
onstration work was little more
than 10 bushels; the total yield about
100000 bushels. The average yield
last year was Is bushes per acre, and
the total yield 76,0O0.0 900 of bushels.
The average yield per acre in Georgia
in 1909 was about 10 1-2 bushels; in
1910 143 bushels; in 1911 16 bushels
value of corn in the state in 1911 over
that of five years ago (1906) was
about $50. 00o, 0O0.'
These figures are a little bigger
than the ones gave you, but they
show the excellent work which has
been done by teaching scientific meth
DDS Of farming. 1 am of the opinion
that a large part of this is due to the
demonstration work under the charge
of the general educational fund. If
you are not thoroughly advised as TO
this good work, ii would be Of interest
to you to make an investigation Of
it."
