WATCH SNAKE SWALLOW
TOAD; LOSE PICNIC LUNCH.

BEAvTR FALLS. Pa, Sept. 10
Just as a picnic party OF young folk
from this place were about to sit down
to big dinner spread on the grass
in a grove near Ralington; one Of
their number rushed in with the an
nouncernent that he had discovered a
snake swallowing a toad.
ALI scampered on to witness the
snake perform its gastronomic feat.
When after thirty minutes the toad
had disappeared from the reptiles
throat, and they returned to the dim
ner. They found that in their absence
ia pig, and her six little ones had
eaten the whole repast. Ali returned
to town to get something to eat

THE CITY BONDS.

1t is to be taken that everybody is
in favor of the City of Americas is
suing bonds. The Mayor and City
Council has named the date for the
election, but as yet there has been no
comment, except through the columns
Of this newspaper.
The Americas Timmes- Recorder be-
lieves that the bonds should be car
ried by the voters when they cast their
ballots on March 18th. The city ia
experiencing troubles in a financial
way, as the majority of cities do. It
is necessary that means be devised
whereby the financial status of the
city can be placed on the highest
plane.
This paper has thrown its columns
open for a discussion of this subject,
and it would be glad to have the cit1-
zens avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity of having a free discussion on
this matter.

THE FOREIGN COMMENT.

There is never an incident in the life
of any government which is properly
understood by people and officials of
foreign nation. The resignation of
Secretary of War Lindley NJ. Garrison
has been taken in several of the war
ring countries to mean that the people
through congress have expressed their
disfavor as to preparedness.
No more mistaken opinion could be
formed by the foreign people. America
is united on the aim and end of pre-
paradness-but as in all questions.
there is dissension and differences as
to the plans considered best for the
reaching of this goal.
Secretary Garrison staked his all on
a plan for continental army, and
because he believed it apparent that
congress would not endorse this plan.
he resigned. But congress will pass
some form of legislation relating to
our army which will increase it NINA
Verbally. 1t may come through the Ma
tional Guards or it may come through
regular standing army with the
arms of the service strengthened
through the states.
But do not let the people of other
nations be mislead in their ideas a. &C
cur disagreement over preparedness.
All true and loyal Americans, except
few pacifists agree on safety first, >
| which is nothing but slang for prepar.
odness. This sentiment has been grow
ing, and it can not be wholly doubted
that it would not have come had there
been no great war. The time was rap
idly approaching when America looked
to the time when she would be fully
prepared to meet any conflict of any
kind with any people or any race.
There are few disgruntled politi-
clans who will fight any plan which a
majority or minority opposes. They
are expected to be present on every
occasion, but it must be to the credit
Of the United States that they have not
FULLY taken over he reigns of govern
iment.

which heretofore have been set to 9TH
er parts of the country for live stock
products. In many instances not only
is enough live stock being raised for
home use, but in addition much is be-
ing sold. Our people are learning by
actual experience that it pays to raise
live stock of the right sort. For long
time there was no market for our live
stock because the little that we did
raise was hardly fit for use. We are
learning rapidly that it costs no more
and is as easy to raise pure-bred or

idly that there is a ready market for
the first. We knew that there was mono
for the latter. In raising live stock It
is necessary, of course to grow feed
crops for them. This reduces auto
matically the possible cotton acreage.
AS rapidly as we learn that our soil
and climate are adopted in an unusual
degree to the raising of live stock and
as rapidly as we raise good live stock
for Grady markets-as these things oc-
cur tn so-called cotton acreage prob
lem disappears. The cotton acreage
cannot he reduced through the medium
Of organizations or resolutions. This
has been demonstrated many times.
But there can be no staying of of the
reduction when we come to realize
fully that we can produce something
else, even in connection, with more
profit and less trouble. We are learn
ing too that the time is at hand when
this section will be called upon to
help furnish live stock products for
other parts of this country and Europe.

POLITICAL PLATFORMS

Georgia is Witnessing much these
days in discussion of political pla:-
forms, especially as to the candidacy
of two prominent Georgians for the
gubernatorial chair
Platforms do not amount to much
these days, and usually the planks
are catchy phrases to lead the voice
of the common people into an accla-
nation for one man, or one party.
Rev Rembert G. Smith, prominent
Methodist divine, Of Marietta, who for
merly was a member of the faculty Of
Emory college, has written a public
letter to Governor Harris and DR.. L.
G .Hardman, querying them on the
subject of lynching. We would not
question the motive of DR.. Smith, but
We would like to now what results are
expected to be obtained from this pro-
cess of questioning.
1t is certainly not to be supposed
that any public man would offer as a
candidate for governor who did not
condemn lynching. The first plank in
the average platform is an eloquent
plea for enforcement, with a
promise that the laws of the state
shall be enforced-so far as it is in
the power of the executive.
Platforms have come to naught. PEG
pie vote for men, and not principles
these days, The popular man, with
the popular slogan, is elected. 1t may
happen during his term of Office that
some constructive piece of legislation
is passed, and he will receive the plau>
cits of the people for these acts-be-
cause that man is popular and that
man assisted in the work.
On authority which cannot be ques
toned, there seems to be some grounds
for the speculation that there is a
deeper motive for some people and
some factions in Georgia desiring 20
secure another candidate for COVER
nor. 1t is not the wholesome feeling
that the state could better profit by
not having either of the two men al.
ready announced Watch the devel-
opments; be attentive to the plans
and it won't be long before you will
see the light which beckons other en-
trants into the race,
