TO FARMERS WHO WOULD
GO TO TOWN AND CITY
MEN WHO WOULD BE
FARMERS

This is written for just two
classes of men: farmers who are
tired of the farm and its hard
work, who believe the job of the
average city man is a snap, and
who are ready 10 sell out and
move to town; and city men who
are yearning for the freedom
from worry that they think goes
with farm life, who believe that
farming is easy, that the sunshine
and the rain come just right, and
that the flowers are always
blooming and the birds are al
ways singing.
70 the first OF these, to the far
mer who is sick of his job and
would go to town, the best thing
you can possibly do is to stick to
your knitting Wages in the
town may appear large, but the
cost of living is generally larger
still. The city man can barely
furnish his family with actual
necessities on a salary of 500 a
month or less. Rent is to pay,
light, fuel. milk, vegetables, even
water to drink, have to be paid
Tor, and usually at prices that are
simply astonishing to the aver
age farmer.
On the other hand, the city man
who would farm too often has
failed to know and properly con-
slider the factors that make for
success. He forgets that the sing
ing OF the birds and the blooming
OF the flowers so unnoticed by
the man who tramps from day
light till dark behind a balky mule
through a rooty ground. When
boil weevils get the cotton or
drouth gets the corn, the poetry
of farming takes on a decidedly
fiat flavor.
Distant pastures always ap-
pear greenest, and it is human
failing to want what the other
fellow has. At a distance we see
only the good things, the hard
and disagreeable appearing only
with intimate association. OF
course if farmer is absolutely
certain that he can better his con-
dition by going to town, if he is
sure that he is doing the best
thing by himself, his wife and
children, if he feels sure he will
make more money, increased eX-
pcnses considered, find friends as
good and work as useful, and that
his children in the town will be as
strong, clean, moral, healthy, hap
DY, industrious men and women
as if kept in a country home, then
let him go.
Likewise to the town man who
would farm; the farm is a place
for hard work, and even at that
the average farm is yielding low
return on the investment. If you
are determined to farm, ask your
self if you mind getting up at four
and five o'clock in the morning ];
if you can spend the night doc
toring a sick horse or COW, smil-
ing the while; if you keep your
temper serene while the roots in
the new ground are flying back
and barking your shins, and the
pillow handles are digging you in
the ribs; if you can look on while
drouth and flood, bug and worm
take your crops, your head
bloody but unbowed." If you
can do all these and few humid
red others like them, then pos
sibly you have the markings" Of
farmer in you.

So numerous and so pitiful did these
complaints become that | caused an
examination of the records of that
office to be made, and | am astounded
at what has been uncovered.
The Results Stagger Belief.
Why should any Insurance Company
be fraudulently organized, or if legal
ly' formed, be permitted to fraudulent
Iy continue business while insolvent,
to the hurt of our citizens? Which is
insufficient,-th Law or the Official?
Since 1887 the law requires $780,
900 of money to be subscribed in good
faith and actually paid in before the
Company can do an insurance bust
ness. It gives the Insurance Commits
sioner the power to demand all pa
peTs, examine under oath the officers
ofathe Company, send expert account
ants TO inspect every book and docu-
ment and requires, under oath, an
nual reports. What is wrong with the
Law?
Why then should the people of Geor-
gia be cheated by cheap juggletry,
either through fraudulently organized
Or fraudulently conducted Insurance
Companies?

| AlneTlCuS, VA,
Dear Tom:
L am writing to assure YOU that
all of your friends in Schlev
county are heartily in sympathy
with you relative to your present
sickness, and to doubly assure
you that your cause in this coun-
ty IS being zealouSly guarded dur
ing your illness.
Iouchlng the various unscru-
pulous issues that have been in
Jectcd into the campaign by your
opponent and his friends, feel
that it would not be out OF place
Tor me in my feeble way to give
you my IDEAS of just how the pco-
pie OF your old home county are
receiving Mr.. Crisp's unthought-
OF TRADES on your past conduct
and record
In the first place, the voters OF
Schley county are too intelligent
to give consideration to a charge
based upon a Legislative vote con
sc1entiously cast eighteen years
ago, even if such vote might not
be IN accord with present-day
opinion. The people of Schley
county are not seeking Cong
ressman who displays no greater
ability than to plant his claims
tor election on the questionable
mistake OF his opponent, claimed
by him to have been made near
y quarter OF century ago.
Such .demogoguery, would dis
qualify President Wilson for the
humble office of Coroner. Be
sides, it is an easy matter for any
OF us to look back and grow wise,
but it is not the man who can
only see things in the past that
we need in Congress, it is the man
that, to some extent, can see into
the future; and Judging the flu
ture by the past, we feel that you
are the man to produce results
along this line. IT'S RESULTS
BROUGHT CLOSE TO OUR
DOOR, that the people of Schley
county want; they have since be-

SUCH MIGHTY DEEDS are so
foreign to local needs and imme-

All manner of ugly things have
been circulated against you in

Crisp and his followers.
