Price, Not Quantity, Pays,

The greatest encouragement that
can be given agriculture is profitable
prices for farm products. Crop de-
stroying insects have been a stubborn
enemy. and Jupiter Pluvius has play
ed many pranks on the farmer, but
there is no pestilence like low prices.
They will sap the life-blood of any
industry.
No farmer gets rich by the guam
tity of production. 1t is the price he
gets for his products and economy
and business judgment displayed in
management that make the farmer
wealthy.
We cannot pass a law that will
increase the price of products or re-
duce the cost of blowing the land
and marketing the crops. We must
depend upon factories and transpor-
tatlon facilities for marketing oul
products. and upon improved me
0hanlcal appliances and the bushes!

In Georgia murderers are being
held to a stricter accountability for
their crimes than in many years be-
fore. In the past few months sew
eral white men have paid the penalty
of their crimes on the gallows. Two
were executed Friday, one in South
and one in North Georgia. 1t is OBJ
served, too, that this certainty of
punishment is having a wholesome
effect upon those who have no regard
for human life.

Congressman Crisp,

In Americas today Hon. Charles
R. Crisp was formally nominated by
the convention to succeed himself as
the representative of the Third dis
trict in congress. That Mr.. Crisp
had no opposition in the primary is
high tribute to him, and an evil
dence of the esteem and confidence
of his continents for which he
no doubt feels grateful appre-
ciation 1t is a source of graft
fication to the people of the dis
trict that Mr.. Crisp's health has
improved sufficiently for him to re-
turn from Colorado, where he has
sojourned for several months. He is
now at his home in Americas, and
will soon go from there to resume
his duties in congress.

SOME GUNS.

From the New York Herald.
The firm of Krupp, with the ut
most secrecy, for a long time past
has been working upon specially
large seige guns. They are of AZ
centimeter caliber and can be effect
lively used at a distance of 81 kilo-
meters, 16A miles, to send a pro-
jectile weighing 1900 kilos. They
are mounted upon special heavy troll
legs, with "a solid steel specially
broad wheels, and when all is ready
the frer has to retire at least 200
meters. The explosions are caused
by electric contact. The cost of each
shot is $500 marks, about S1,125.
The cannon is exhausted after 20
shots.

The dispatches from Washington
are to the effect that the government
has done all it can or will do to
relieve the situation as regards the
marketing of the cotton crop, and
the officials at the capital advise the
farmers to help themselves by reduc-
ing the acreage. Twas ever thus.
There is always a lot of buncombe
talk about helping the farmers, but
it is invariably reduced to time-worn
advice. The farmer who depends
upon the government to get him a
good price for his cotton is destined
to blasted hopes.

JESUS PAID 1T ALL.

From the Cordele Dispatch.
Refused Notice" Every editor
has received them. The postmaster
sends them to the editor. For in
stance, there is a man by the name
OF John Blank, who refused to take
his paper out of the pOstof1ice. He
did not want it any longer, and we
wondered what was the matter.
Upon investigation of our subscrip-
ton books we found that John was
short $3.50. He stopped the paper
as a matter of economy to us. One
evening we went to church and
Johns voice rang out loud and clear
in that soul-stirring song, Jesus
Paid 1t All" We might have been
mistaken, but his earnestness i'm
pressed us. The next day we sent
him a receipt in full, begging his
pardon for not knowing he had made
arrangements for his liabilities in
that manner.

NOT THE BLOODIEsT BATTLE.

From the Savannah News.
OF course the big four days fight
in Belgium recently was a tremen-
dous battle, but in point of men slain
it was not such a fight as was the
famous victory which checked the
ravages of Atilla, the "Scourge of
God" in 451. History knows that
engagement as the battle of Chalons,
and the field where it was fought is
within the fighting zone of the
French and German armies. Con-
temporaries of Atilla say that not
fewer than 100000 to 100000 men
were left dead on the field. 1t may
be that the bloodiest battle the world
ever saw will be a feature of the new
war, but it will have to be much
bloodier than any yet fought between
the Dual Alliance and the allies if it
is to eclipse the famous fight at Chal-

The Vienna News observes that the
advent of the boil weevil will nit the
farmers equally as hard, if not hard
er, than the European war. That's
the truth, and the astounding thing
about it is that our people are going
along in the old rut and making no
preparation for a situation that will
soon stare them in the face. The
boil weevil is nearing the Georgia
line from the Alabama side, and will
soon begin its disastrous work in
this state.

The Macon Telegraph and the AL
bany Herald have been engaged in
a passage of words of much warmth.
One of these leaders of thought has
saluted the other as a sycophant and
liars and in turn been addressed as a
highly perfumed skunk, with apollo
gies to the skunk. Having had cooling
time we believe our contemporaries
win agree with us that they both
are mistaken. Now that the cam
paign is over in Georgia they should
not get so "het up" over Joe and
Hoke, but shake the ink from their
pens and let Europe do all the war

The Atlanta Constitution sugges-
ton that the women of Georgia buy
cotton goods for their clothing dur
ing the present financial crisis, occa-
stoned by the setback to the cotton
market, is eminently sensible and
practical. In some of the cities of
the state merchants are already put
ting on special sales of cotton goods
for the purpose of boosting the idea.
The Journals buy-a-bale movement
is also spreading over the South, and
by means of it considerable money is
being put in circulation. Both will
help a little, and should be pushed
along.

WHY MEAT IS HIGH.

From the Rochelle New Era
Mr.. James Walker of Scottville,
Macoupin county, Illinois, sold at
Chicago August 18th, 1914, five cars
of cattle $50 head for $11,784.15,
of which Al steers averaging 1.475
pounds brought $1,000 per 100
pounds, Or $154.46 per head, while
26 steers averaged 1878 pounds and
brought $3.50 per 100 pounds, or
$144.70 per head.
These are the highest prices he
ever received for such stock. Mr.,
Walker is 81 years old and has fed
cattle and hogs for the Chicago mar
ket continually for 80 years. Within
this period he has sold the best cattle
as low as 1915 per 100 pounds and
the best hogs at $3.50, and has seen
corn selling at eight cents per bushel,
such as now brings eighty cents.

WISE FARMER WILL PROSPER.

From the Alpharetta Free Press.
No matter how long they fight
in the old world the farmer who has
plenty of corn in his crib, meat in
the smokehouse and cattle on the
meadow will be as Independent as a
woodsawyer. -Commerce News.
This is the true doctrine. The
Free Press has been preaching it for
two years with all it's might. If ev-
cry farmer in Milton county had a
bunch of cattle on hand right now
he would be in position to put a roll
of greenbacks in the bank whether
he could find sale for his cotton or
not. And that's not all-he would
be enriching his farm and getting it
in shape for better crops of all sorts.

The prolongation of the European
war holds other problems (and no
less importantly as well as finding a
market for the South's cotton. In all
the cities and large towns, in Georgia
as well as elsewhere, the number of
unemployed wage earners is increas-
ing because of the decrease in the
volume of work these men have been
doing. Thousands have been laid off
in the past month-men who are
willing and eager to work. How to
provide for these men and their fam
lilies promises to be a grave question.
