DUE WEST.

The time seems to be near at hand
when we must act on our own judg-
ment if we ever expect to succeed as
an agricultural people. The time
merchant tells us the only hope for
us as a farming class is to provide
ourselves with home supplies. There
is a big demand for home raised
meat, corn, and beef cattle. We be-
lieve if there was in existence a
Home Cooperation Union in old
Cobb. That We buy Cobb County
products and sell them to Cobb coun-
ty people by such a cooperation be-
tween the merchants and farmers a
great burden would be removed. The
merchant can't nj AXE progress with
out us farmers neither can we AS
farmers progress without the mer-
chant What we need now is for us
all to get on a basis that will help
all.
A Union like this doubtless would
have a tendency to stop so many
avenues to take our money away.
When we begin to consider, it is a
wonder we have any money at ali.
Meat, corn, oats syrup, flour, buggys,
wagons, and mules are all shipped
into this county taking our money to
other sections. The climatic condi-
tions here are such that we can raise
hogs and cattle as cheap as can be
done anywhere.
So long as we continue this buy
ing guano and robbing our lands by
clean cultivation, we need never eX-
pect to make any progress.
Turn the cost around, instead OF
buying, go to selling then you will
see a prosperous and happy people.
Sell the State railroad pay off the
state bonded indebtedness of ST.
100000, put the remainder into in
terest-bearing bon DIS, thus by such
application we would place IL mil
lion dollars to the school fund of
Georgia beside inviting competition
into this section.
North Georgia abounds with abuu-
dances of timber, minerals and fine
agricultural land which needs devel-
Gpment
BY such legislation we would be
relieved of what now seems to be
q burden on the people. What we
need is liberation, not oppression.
We hope all the counties in North
Georgia will join in this movement
and drive this railroad monopoly from
this section. This is one of the rich
est sections of diversification of crop.
Give it tO,us now. YES.

The Territory of Alaska, according to the statement of Treasurer GW. G. Smith, enters the year 1916 with balance of almost $1OO,OOO to the good. This is not such large amount, but it is remarkable just the same, because it sets a standard that the great states of the union cannot approach. The policy of states and cities to create as soon as possible a large bonded indebtedness has not been followed in Alaska, where the business of the territory and of the various municipalities is done on cash basis. In the case of the incor- porated towns of Alaska, congress has wisely provided that they shall not incur any bonded or other indeb!- edness. Working under this plan, the towns have kept pretty well within their means. A few have allowed their expenditures to exceed their in- comes, but not to any great amount.
