Clippings and Comments

Thrash at the second district school
we predict the boys will behave al
right, alright without being thrashed.
Road bonds were defeated in Bar
row. Is this an indication of wis
dom beyond our years, or does it
mean that Barrow was created out
of the weak spots of three of Geor-
gia's wise and progressive counties?
All of our mothers, so to speak, have
enthusiastically taken up Uncle
Sans proposition.-Wi nder News.
From this distance we can not tell
just what is the matter and besides
that we have a problem of our own
to study right here at home. We
never have called for an election on
the subject.
Railroad building is at an end. The
frst-class highway and the truck
have succeeded the railroad. This
is the day of the common man, who
has as much right on the highway
as the millionaire. Amen.-Alpha-
retta Free Press.
1t is probably true that we have
enough railroads until the highways
and trucks penetrate some of the
fields now shut away from transpor-
tation.
Savannah has been the meeting
place for a large number of state
conventions recently. Tybee offers
delightful entertainment and that
combined with Savannah's warm hos
pitality and facilities make the sea-
side city most delightful place for
public organizations to hold their an
nual meetings.-Commerce Obser-
yer.
All that is true, and we have lived
near enough to Savannah to know
that real Savannah gentleman is
the peer of any who ever lived in
fact or fiction.
The Woman's Suffrage question
will be brought before the present
session of the legislature for ratifi-
cation. The legislature should rati-
fly it by all means but there seems
to be some doubt about it. This pa
per is on record as an ardent sup
porter of the Suffrage question, and
hope that it will be ratified at the
coming session.-Douglas Enterprise.
If the south should promptly rati-
fly the amendment it would greatly
help the democratic party, on the
other hand to fight it will not de-
feat it, and it may defeat the demo-
Gratis. Regardless of politics howev-
er we have favored suffrage.
Toombs is ready to take in all the
little counties around her that want
admittance. The new 100000
court house at Lyons will be COM
pleted soon and our large county
Jail will be ample to accommodate
territory three or four times the size
of Toombs county. Let Montgome-
ry and Tattnall both come right on
over, and if they will promise to be
right nice, later on, maybe, we'll let
Emanuel, Gambler and Appling come
in.-Lyons Progress.
Such action would probably be
the most sensible and economical
possible. Let's stop making coun-
ties and multiplying politics in Geor-
gia. Pork, peas, peanuts and pota-
toes "afford more nutriment," as
Sam Blythe would say.
A hasty census taken in Cuthbert
since the Third District doctors met
here fails to show any fatality among
our citizens during their stay.-Cuth-
bert Leader
Evidently a small attendance
Every automobile owner would be
glad to pay fifty dollars year if by
doing so he could have really first
class roads.-Alpharetta Free Press.
Yet it appears that a good many
of them do not even pay the ordi-
nary advalorem tax on their cars, as
taxes are now collected.
Bachelor, baldheaded Howell of
the Cuthbert Leader gives out the
information that he dislikes the taste
of face paint. A hint to the wise
! is cient.-Lavonia Times.
Well before there is any change
all the girls will want to know where
he got it.
