VIGILANCE AGAINST THE SOCIAL
EVIL

The Times-Recorder is pleased to
hear that Mayor Lowrey has ordered
the deportation of number OF unde-
sirable residents who thronged TO Am
cries soon after the new administra-
ton took up the reins of government. It
is with qualification that The Times
Recorder has heard of the action OF
the city administration, in view of the
vigorous advocacy which this paper
has given to the removal of these IN
desirable persons.
That the editorials il The Times-Re-
corder have had effect is manifest
from the order of the mayor relative 10
these unfortunate residents. Further
than the issuance of the order by the
mayor, no intelligence has been re-
ceived by The Recorder relative
to action in the matter AS to whether
the authorities have enforced the
order on the part of the chief execl-
tive of the city by vigorous and care
full enforcement of the law is not
known.
Nothing short of an impartial, thor
ough and complete carrying out of the
order of the mayor in this particular
can free the city of this nuisance
which goes hand in hand, the highest
civic authorities in the country claim,
with the illegal sale of whiskey The
enforcement of the law in this partic-
.ular should bring relief from condi-
tons which threaten to destroy the
good accomplished by the former ad-
ministration in the stand taken by that
administration relative to this evil.
The purity and good name Of the city
of Americas is at stake in this issue
If vigorous and careful enforcement q
the law against immoral residents Is
not had, the city will soon become the
dumping ground for the very lowest
meanest and vilest of the race, who
drag others down with them in the
vile practices by which they make =
living, not for their souls but for their
bodies. The good people of Americas
will commend Mayor LOwrey for his
action in this matter, tardy though /.
was, and they will demand that the
city be kept clear of this fiotsam and
jetsam of humanity hich imperils tn
city's purity and moral integrity.

REDUCING COTTON ACREAGE
ATLANTA Journal.


A timely warning against the over
production of cotton is sounded by NJ.
Z. ]. Watson, commissioner of agricul-
ture for South Carolina and president
of the Southern Cotton Congress. A
glutted market, as he declares, would
spell low prices and would react vita
distressing effect not only upon the
farmer but upon every field of our
economic interests. The relations be-
tween the supply and the demand for
cotton are fortuitious; the need for
food products, on the contrary, is a
certainty. The planter who rests all
fis hope on cotton is building upon
treacherous sands; he who makes am
pie provision for corn and other sucn
necesaries chooses the solid rock.
The reduction of cotton acreage :
important not so much within itself as
is it's bearing upon the broader inter.
ests of agriculture. The essential
thing is not to cultivate less land but
to devote more land and energy to the
production Of food crops 1t is the
monopoly of cotton at the expense OF
other intrests, which more directly
concern the larder and the home. that
makes an excessive cotton crop peril
Gus.
Georgia has been spending millions
and millions of dollars in distant Sec
lions for corn and live stock and kin
bred supplies, which could be produc-
ed far more cheaply and just as easily
at home. The profits of what has been
regarded as the chief money crop have
thus been diverted to the purchase c.
food necessities, Such policy is
shortsighted and extrayagant. 1t ne :
lects the states natural resources at
their most vital points and leads to-
ward agricultural slavery.
There are cheering indications how
ever, that the appeals for prudence in
the matter of cotton acreage are find
ing a wider and heartier response. t
is natural that this should be the case
as the gospel of scientific and progress
s,ve agriculture is more and more
widely proclaimed The diversification
of crops and the use of intensive meth
DDS are after all simply good business
and common sense applied to the all
important problems of the soil.
