PARCELS POST AT THE
BOTTOM OF MORE TROUBLE

From the Augusta Chronicle.
The postmaster general and the
railroads of the country which haul
mails are about to lock horns, and
the root of the row is that same par
cells post proposition which has been
so vigorously fought, especially by
Southern retail merchants, ever since
the fight for it began. More lately
the parcels post was made political
chestnut by the republican party in
the futile hope OF exerting a benefi-
cial influence in the recent national
election. Now the cry goes up from
the railroads that Mr.. Hitchcock and
the postoffice department are about
to force from the railroads four and
half years free service in hauling
the wares in trade of the parcels post.
In other Notwithstanding that the
contention of two hundred and sixty
eight common carriers doing business
with the postoffice department over
214,275 miles of railroad are reason
ably correct-the experiment with
the parcels post, which is to go into
effect the first of January, is no rea-
sonable experiment, because it is not
going to be made on basis which
can be continued after the present
railway mail contracts expire.
Flatly, the contention of these
hundreds of railroads is that the
postof1ce department is going to
force them, under existing contracts,
20 haul the parcels post matter for
nothing.
This revelation of facts-they are
given as facts by the railroads in
question-comes as part of a reply
to the contention of Postmaster Gen
eral Hitchcock that the railroads are
now overpaid for handling the gov
ernment's mail matter. The commit
tee on railway mail pay of the sever
al railroads, entering a fiat denial of
the postmaster generals claims, Wig
orously asserts that railway mail
pay is about to be forced still further
below the level of just compensation
on account of the additional volume
of mail that will result from the
Inauguration on January list, 1913,
of parcels post"

A WARNING TO KICKERs.

From the Macon County Citizen.
St. Peter sits at the heavenly gates,
his hands on the strings of the Tyre,
and he sings a low song as he pa
tiently waits for the souls of those
who expire. He hears in the dis
lance a song that swells from the
foot of the heavenly throne, and he
smiles as the music is waited along
and MARBLES a lay of his own: There
is room in this region for the mil
lions of souls who by sorrow and woe
were bereft; tits for those who have
suffered the melody rolls, but the
kickers must turn to the left. There
is room for the people who, when
they were young, persisted in sowing
wild oats, yet doomed up their town
with sinew and tongue, but the kick
ers must go with the goats. There S
room for the people who pointed with
pride to the beauty and growth OF
their town, who kept singing their
praises aloud till they died, but the
kickers must please amble down
They'd say that the music was all
out of tune, and the angelic gown a
hand-me-down, and they'd send to
the moon for jeweler to sample the
gold of the crown. So while there
is room for a million of souls, who
by sorrow and woe were bereft, we
want no complaint of the music that
rolls, so kickers must turn to the
left"

GOOD CROPS IN TERRELL.

The crops of Terrell county have
been good this year, and as trade in
Dawson depends almost entirely on
agriculture there is no good reason
for complaint on the part of mer-
chants or farmers. While the cotton
receipts are somewhat under those
of last year they are almost fully up
to a normal crop, and the difference
in price will make this years crop
bring as much as last years abnor-
mally large one.
While cotton is the principal mon
ey crop of the county the farmers
are learning the advantage of diver
styling their products. Many of them
have sown grain this fall that have
steadfastly refused to do so hereto
fore. Then the cane and potato
crops this year are the best on rec
ord, and for both of these products
there is a ready market.
The merchants of Dawson have
had good business through the fall
season, and the holiday month prom
Uses a volume of trade equaling that
of other years. On the whole there is
no cause for complaint

LEARN TO STAY OUT OF DEBT.

The Commerce News breaches a
good, strong sermon-one that con-
tains much food for thought-on the
subject of debt
1t is a good policy, says our con-
temporary, in speaking of the condi-
tions that prevail in that section,
ito keep on the sunny side of
life. 1t is more congenial to speak
of the good things than the bad ones
And yet facts are stubborn things.
A theory is one thing, while fact
is another and quite different thing.
Would that we could publish to the
world that we had bumper crop,
that the prices were the highest ever
known, that every cent of indebted
ness had been wiped out, that mer-
chants were prosperous, that banks
were overloaded with deposits, that
the people, especially the farmers,
were out of debt, with good bank
accounts. and everybody happy. To
make this statement would brand us
an idiot or president of the Annanias
club. For such is not the case. On
the other hand, this immediate sec
ton is face to face with the most
stubborn, aggravated financial troub-
lie We have encountered in years. 1t is
not due to the stringency or scarcity
Of money. So far as our knowledge
extends, there is an abundant sup
ply of money. 1t is not chargeable
to the want of energy or Incidence
of the farmer. AS a class the farmer
has done the best he could under the
circumstances. He came in contact
with unfavorable conditions, over
which he had no control. In the
early fall it was recognized that the
cotton crop was short. Since then
all information received has cut the
estimate, until now many believe that
we will not make more than fifty
per cent of the amount made last
year. The receipts of this place last
season amounted to 23,500 bales. If
We get sixty per cent of that amount
our receipts from the present crop
will be in the neighborhood of a.
600 bales. The receipts show short
age equivalent at present prices to
three hundred thousand dollars in
actual cash. With such a shortage it
is not surprising that many farmers
find it difficult to make buckle and
tongue meet In many instances ten
ants will not make more than enough
to pay standing rent and fertilizer
bills, and in some instances the fer
tilizer bill may not be reached. Men
who are responsible and who have
heretofore met all obligations will
fall behind this fall Banks will be
forced to carry quantities of money
now past due or take undesirable
steps to collect. Merchants are pos
sibly, after all, the greatest sufferers
They must pay their bills or be cen
sured with an impaired credit. But
this condition is not all chargeabl'
to short crops. The fact remains tina
the few farmers who always grow
sufficiency of corn, oats, wheat, mea
and hay, while they will natural
feel the effect of the present strin
gency, will nevertheless keep thei
heads above the waves. Rockies
