NO WONDER WE'RE IN DEBT.

From the Commerce News.
We may try as We can to live on
the sunny side of life, but to see the
trains of loaded freight cars that come
to Commerce daily loaded with all
kinds of stuff and to think that
practically all this is sold to the
farmer on credit is not a sight cal
culated to help one look on the bright
side of life. How all this is to be paid
for by the farmers is a problem that
staggers us. Car after car of fertil-
iZer, car after car of bran, car after
ear of meal, car after car of flour,
car after car of bran, car after car of
oats, car after car of meat, car after
car of syrup, car after car of stoves,
car after car of plOws, car after car
Of buggies, car after car of wagons,
car after car Of furniture, and then
dry goods coffee, sugar, clothing, i'm
plements and an abundance of other
commodities-al sold to the farmers
and most of it on credit, While time
lasts We will never get out of debt
pursuing this policy. On the other
hand, the only commodities ever
shipped away from Commerce are
chickens and eggs and cotton. No
man of sense would dare to make the
assertion that the people of this sec
ton are pursuing a policy that could
be denominated a get rich quick

Don't Worry About the RAIN

Continual rainfall in this section
causes more or less regret, because Of
the effect on farm work and on bust
ness. Farmers say they should be at
work in the fields, and merchants
say that rain and heavy roads depress
business. Both statements are war
ranted, as is the desire for dry and
pleasant weather. Farm work is I'M
questionably behind, and farmers
will have to be vigorous when they
do get to work again. And mer-
chants do feel the result of people
being kept at home. Right there is
an illustration of how much the sur
rounding country trade means to
Dawson. When country people 40
not come to town trade is dull. The
great body of business men know
and appreciate the value of the coun-
try trade. They want it and make
earnest efforts to get it, as witness
their use of The News as a means to
reach the people 1t will be found
that the level-headed business men of
Dawson-whethe merchant, banker
or what not-is fully appreciative OF
agricultural surroundings, and values
the business the city gets from farm
ers and the people in the small towns.
AS to the continued wet weather, it
is inconvenient, of course, but it will
have an end and farm work and trade
will be caught up with. That is al
ways the case The rainfall is of
value. We shall get the good results
in later yields of crops. 1t removes
fear of drouth and crop failures. Take
che weather good naturally and with
content. In the last analysis it will
bring good. -

Can You Beat It?

When a college professor lays
down his cap and gown and dons
the motley he can usually make a
professional fool look like a funeral
mute,
A writer in Woman's World calls
attention to the fact that many a
wierd notion has sprung from the
strongholds of erudition, and in as
sorting that when "the world wants
a competent case of plain, thorough,
22karat, Simon>pure, unauthorized
assininity the place to search is
the impractical Uranium of a hec-
tic high brow" offers as proof con-
elusive the theories of a University
of Pennsylvania professor recently
enunciated at a Philadelphia church
address. This brilliant gentleman
advises working girls to squander all
their earnings and to borrow money,
ff need be, so that they may be bet
ter dressed Tor business and social
purposes,
He confessus that he tells his stu
dents to spend all they have and to
involve themselves in debt.
He considers it folly to scrimp and
save. and advances the ingenious the
,ory that "a woman wants the best
things that money can buy" And
that she is simply following the laws
Of nature when she resorts to other
measures to obtain the things that
other better dressed women have,
and that she will make home happier
because of the influence her fine
feathers exert over the other mem
bers of the family.

Lone or Hate?


Is your life controlled more largely
by your likes, your loves or your
dislikes, your hates?
Malice, envy, hard thoughts of any
sort, poison first the heart in which
| they originate.
They make a brackish, unhealthy
pool, where all sorts of noisome
mental conditions will generate.
Sidney Smith said that it was his
idea of hell to hate somebody.
1t is only in our loves that we real
ly live.
What we hate is dead to us, and
the wider the range of our hates the
narrower our lives.
1t is a beautiful belief that every
kindly act, word thought or impulse
continues in its influence forever,
Frightening and sweetening the
world, and that every evil deed or
thought permanently destroys a part
of the sum total of human happiness.
Certainly this is the effect upon
the life in which the thought origi-
mates. Every thought elevates or
lowers, purifies or debases. Love
thoughts are wings. Hate thoughts
are weights.
Your own feeling is reflected back
to you from others. If you give love
you get love. 1t is one of the things
the more of which you give the more
you have. Love was born twin, and
cannot exist without its counterpart.
1t is your own attitude that at
tracts or repels others. According as
we love or hate we surround our
selves with an atmosphere of inviting
sweetness, or hedge ourselves in with
a barbed wire fence,
People are lovely to you or hateful
just as you love or hate them This
is not mere seeming, but actuality
Love is the light in which we see
or hate.
Hates are malarial mists in which
we blindly grope and miserably die.

Government Aid to Agriculture
From the Albany Herald.

From the Albany Herald.
We hear a good deal about the
hard lot of the farmer and of how
/ the honest 'horney-handud son OF
/ toll gets the short end of the string
every time, but as a matter of fact
our national and state governments
are doing more, or trying TO do
more, for those who are engaged in
1 the cultivation of the soil than for
| any other class.
The national government is main
! tanning a department of agriculture
at an expense of several millions a
year, and is distributing a vast
amount of seeds and printed informa-
/ ton. Most of the states are pay
ing literally for agricultural instruc-
tion and maintaining experiment
stations, and several railroad COM
panies are spending money to dissem-
mate agricultural information
with a view to increasing the freight
business.
And yet a canvass by the depart
ment Of agriculture through thirteen
states showed that 40 per cent of
the farmers visited took no stock
in farmers Institutes. demonstration

of agriculture publications as aids in
helping to make the soil more pro-
ductive."
Not all the farmers are Indifferent
to the facilities afforded them for ap-
plying intelligent and scientific meth
DDS TO the cultivation of the soil, but
in view of the announcement quoted
above from the department Of agri-
culture at Washington it is no won
der that the average production of
farms falls so very far short of
demonstrated possibilities. The av-
erage yield of corn in Georgia is be-
low twenty bushels per acre, and yet
it has been demonstrated over and
over again here in Southwest Georgia
during the past few years that the
farmer who plants, cultivates and
feeds his crops intelligently can cas-
lily produce one hundred bushels or
more per acre.

SOME OLD-FASHIONED
THINGS THAT WE MISS

From the Audallsia Star
What has become OF the Old-fash-
toned wife who used to be kissed by
her husband every morning when he
left her for his daily toll, with ditto
marks fop his return in the evening?
What has become OF the Old-fash-
Toned mother who used to kiss the
cut on little Willie's finger to make
it well?
What has become of the old-fash-
toned husband who used to kiss his
mother-in-law when she came for an
extended visit-no one knew how ex-
tended?
What has become of the old-fash-
Toned father who used to put down
his evening pipe while the Riddles
lined up for the good night kiss be-
fore they scampered off to bed?
In short, what has become of the
old-fashioned kiss?
No one could read the case of the
warning wife, who admitted she had
not kissed her husband for seven
years, without a sigh for the passing
Of the caress of other days. Not on
ly did she proudly proclaim she had
not participated in one of the most
popular amusements, but she insisted
she had no desire to break the long
fast She wanted to go down on the
record as "agin" kissing in any or
all of it's forms.
When this bit of Baltimo orc cracked
ice came into court to show cause
why her errant husband should con-
tribute regular or lump sums to her
support the judge, being all for pour
ing soothing syrup on the choppy sea
of matrimony, advised the wife to
kiss and make up.
Indeed, l don't" came the indig-
nant reply. I've never kissed my
husband in my life, and | don't in
tend to start now. 1 don't believe
in it,"
There were those present who
didn't blame the man much for with
drawing his support from such chill
ly proposition, even though she was
twenty-three, brown haired, blue
eyed and pretty. Seven years of SEN
timental starvation! Too long; much
| too long,

Social Evil Panaceas.

In response to the request of the
Illinois vice commission, which has
recently made an investigation of the
evils of white slavery, President VIII
son will call a conference of govern
ors and representatives of vice com
missions from the various states to
study the social problem and take
steps to institute nationwide cru
SADIE against vice. The information
obtained by the Illinois body has af-
forded basis for some interesting
suggestions for curbng this hide
Gus cancer on our civilization. Few
will find fault with the proposal for
more careful training Of children, the
abolition of JOY riding and ragtime
dancing, and the disbursement of
early marriages.
On a different footing, however,
and calculated to arouse strenuous
opposition is the suggested tax upon
bachelors, a graduated tax between
the ages of twenty-four and thirty
two. and an annual tax of 800 on
all unmarried men over thirty. And
the proposal to establish a whipping
post for white slave trafickers will
work our professional humanitarians
into a fine frenzy of excited indigna-
ton.
Another of the suggestions of the
Illinois commission, the enactment OF
a minimum wage law for girls, will
cause a sharp difference of opinion.
1t is asserted, with some show OF
reason, that low wages is the least
cause of immortality, and this appears
to be borne out by the discovery
that many women of the I'M
derworld came from good, even
luxurious, homes. One objection
to such a minimum wage is that
it would bar from employment many
girls who, by reason of ignorance,
or pure stupidity, would |
not be worth so much. They, conse-
ouently. would be prevented from
learning the work and fitting them
selves for the higher wage.
1t is indicative of a moral awak-
ening, however, and of happy augury !
that there is such turmoil in the cru
chile of our civilization.
