The melton Of the "forty-niners'
carries us back to the days when mer
were making a rush for newly dis
covered sources of gold. Ordinary
real estate is proving hardly less pro
fitable for careful buyers at the pres
ent time, and financial history might
lust as well carry records Of the
'enineteeners" who made their pile by
investing at home.-Monroe Adver-
tiser.
Let the Potter's field be the resting
place of the man too indolent to earn
his daily bread. Never has the world
offered such manifold opportunities to
the man willing to work. In fact,
the man who is not willing to work
car scarcely find sufficient excuse to
clothe his indifference toward labor.
This class of cattle should be allowed
to perish.-Montgomery Monitor.
Among the people who are still be-
hind the times are those who con-
tinue to endeavor to secure free ad-
vertising from the newspapers, in the
form of what they call news. Every
advertisements is good and profitable
news to the judicious buyer, but such
news can only be published at space
rates.-Monroe Advertiser.
The League stands for making ma
tions settle their disputes as individ-
uals are required to do-in accordance
with law. 1t represents modern
craftsmanship in contrast with that OF
the old school that knows no other
way of adjusting international differ
ences than by spilling the blood of the
people. 1t is idle to talk of "isola-
ton" Besides, there is nothing of
the hermit in the American disposition
when it comes to world progress
it wants to do its part and is ready
to bear its share of the responsibility.
Stand by those who are trying to save
mankind from the horrors of war

Farming in the future will be done
with machinery, and on a bigger scale.
Men will quit following the big plow
and the two mules, just as they have
already quit following the small trun
plow and the one small mule. There
has been too much man-work on the
farm in the south, and too little ma
chine work. This has been due in a
large measure to the fact that farm
labor has been cheap and plentiful in
the south. A change is in process of
operation and there will be less farm
labor in the future, and what we have
will be higher.-Mountrie Observer.
Henry Ford declares he dearly
loves to pay the government income
tax. Almost any man would be will
ling to increase the amount he pays
the government through this channel.
It is fine sport.-Mountrie Observer.
Speaking from observation only we
would say that it is great sport get
ting it, and almost akin to surgi-
cal operation giving it up.
The strike situation is going to
take a different turn from what they
usually do. So many of the high Of
ficials of the unions and men are op-
posed to a strike at this time. That
being the case the striking men will
not be able to get the amount Of
public sympathy they have always
gotten.-Bainbridge Post-Searchlight.
Yes, and under these conditions
there will not be so much striking.
The general public is tired Of being
Struck" anyway.
Well, it is here-the day to which
some of Georgia's women have look
ed forward with much yearning and
anxiety-voting time! Yes, stree,
women are now allowed to vote in
Atlanta's civic doings. And the ap-
pearance of ladies at the polls on
Wednesday of this week caused many
of the old voters to be more circum-
spect in ways and language, it is
claimed.-Monticello News.
The laws of the nation and the laws
of the state now clash just little
on the matter of time. The national
law says that the part of Georgia
east of an imaginary line drawn north
and south from Atlanta to Americas
and cambridge shall be in the eastern
time zone, and shall use the 18th meri-
din, or eastern time, and now comes
legislative enactment that says we
shall use central time, or 9th meri-
dian time, all over the state, which
leaves all of us in doubt as to what
we shall do. The farmer is not wor-
ried over the situation in the least.
He has always used sun time, and he
