Some Arguments" That
Killed Daylight Saving

The House of Representatives re-
pealed the daylight-saving law last
week after listening to the following
arguments, among others equally in
formative and entertaining:
By Mr.. Ware, of Pennsylvania
Quoting Harry Lauder:
Oh, it's nice to get up in the mornin'
When the sun begins to shine,
At or or o'clock in the good
old summer time:
When the snow is snowin'
And it's murky overhead,
Oh, it's nice to get up in the mornin',
But it's nice: 10 lie in bed.
By Mr.. McCulloch, of Ohio-This
law by its operation is an artificial
interference with the natural order
Of things.
By Mr.. Ferris, of OklahoIla-Men
will come and men will go, but time
goes on forever. For me and mine
the unit Of time has been we'll estab-
lished. The republic has grown and
prospered under it. The old time
should be re-established.
BY Mr.. Campbell, of Kansas-Our
contract with the old rooster is that
he should begin Growing at 3 o'clock
in the morning, and it is unfair to
him to have him start at 2 o'clock.
By Mr.. Gambler, of Mississippi
Gods time is true. Man-made time
is false. You make the clocks by this
law proclaim a falsehood. Let US
repeal this. law and have the clocks
proclaim Gods time and tell the
truth. Truth is always mighty and
should prevail God alone can Gre
ate daylight.
By Mr.. Burroughs, of New Hamp-
shire-All the dumb animals cannot
tell time. They govern themselves
by the laws of nature. 1t is impos-
sible to make them get up an hour
earlier during summer, eat their
meals an hour earlier and retire an
hour earlier at pight.'
By Mr.. Quin, of Mississippi-It was
God Who put the sun in the sky for
the illumination and guidance of
the farmers and the laboring people,
and they do no; want 10 be made to
think permanently that they are fool
ing themselves by governmental
monkeying with the clock.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarr-
hal deafness, and that is by consti-
tutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing. and when 1t is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the Inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever. Many cases Of deaf
ness are caused by catarrh, which is
an infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medicine
acts thru the blood on the mucous
surfaces Of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Halls Ca
tarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All

The Tomato Situation

At recent conference Of repre-
sentatives of the Baltimore Canned
Goods Exchange and a committee OF
the Baltimore and Arundel Truckers
Association, d price of 65 cents per
bushel, or about $3.50 per ton, was
suggested by the Baltimore Gamers
for contract tomatoes this season.
Growers and Gamers in different
sections of the State are agreeing on
contract prices ranging from SIS
to $40 per ton, A large number of
growers in all parts of the State are
not contracting for the prices offered
The official committee of growers
of the Eastern Shore and the COM
mittee of the Tri-State Gamers AS
sociation have been unable to agree
upon a general price. The Gamers
committee have suggested nothing
above SIS per ton, believing that at
the present market prices, Gamers
could not afford to offer more. The
growers on the other hand desired
$50 per ton and later reduced to $25
per ton. No further action has
been taken.
With the increase in the cost of
fertilizer and manure over last year,
growers feel that they should re-
ceive a price which would justify
than, tn raise the crop
AS a result, a greatly reduced acre
age devoted to this corp in the State
is evident. This is no doubt to be
desired in view of present stocks on
hand and the limited demand.
An effort on the part of the grow
ers to reduce acreage and to increase
yield per acre will undoubtedly re-
suit in lowering the cost Of produc-
tion.
The Extension Service representa-
tives have been urging better meth
DDS of culture as a means toward in
creased yields per acre and lowering
cost of production, and employed ev-
cry means of getting the growers and
Gamers together and emphasized the
advantage Of cooperation for the
maintenance and promotion OF the
industry in the East,

The World Should Study the
Cotton Situation.
From the Manufacturers Record.

With corn at 50 a bushel and wheat at
1925 and over, with farm labor costing two
or three times as much as formerly, and ev-
erything else on a proportlonately higher
basis the cost of cotton production will for
a long time to come be much higher than
ever before.
The old day of low-price labor and low
cost cotton has gone forever.
The old economic chains of the all-cotton
system have been broken and gone to the
scrap heap, never again to be forged.
But the world is hungry for cotton. The
supply of cotton goods has been steadily
wearing out for five years, and now the
world must be reclothed, just as it must be
fed from its famished condition.
High prices of cotton as compared with
former years must inevitably continue be-
cause of high cost of production. Moreover,
unless prices are high enough to have a
stimulating effect upon cotton production
the world will continuously need very
much larger supply of Southern cotton than
we have ever raised, except IN one or two
years, though for some years our crops have
been very small, and this year promises to
be exceptionally so.
AS labor and foodstuffs and iron and steel
have been lifted by the war imitation to a
very much higher plane of cost than in for
mer years so cotton must inevitably 60
Every man VINO seeks to lower the price
of cotton is seeking to permanently decrease
the worlds supply to a famine condition, for
when once the farmers of the South have
become thoroughly alive to diversified agrl-
culture, to livestock raising as a business
and to the opportunities of profitable en-
ployment in industrial pursuits even 40 to so
cents a pound for cotton will not bring them
back to the all-cotton system.

Judgment.
From the Rome Tribune-Herald.

One of Georgia's strongest characters and
most famous statesmen, Hon. Joseph Emer-
son Brown, was noted everywhere among
his friends for his frequent use of the ex-
preston "judg-ment'- a strong accent
on the second syllable. And, by the way it
was cold Joe Browns" strong common sense
and judg- MENT that brought him both fame
and wealth.
When quite young man Joe Brown drove
a wagon drawn by a couple of bull yearlings
from South Carolina into Georgia, settled
on a farm in Cherokee county, and by his
energy and judgment became judge of the
superior court, four times governor of GeOr-
ga chief justice of the supreme court, and
served two terms in the United States sem
ate But he was not only a successful poll
tician and able statesman; he was a first
rate business man. He invested his money
with good Judgment, and handled his af
fairs with such sagacity that when he died
at ripe old age he was one of the wealth.
lest, if not the wealthiest, man IN Georgia.
At that time he was reputed to be worth
three million dollars, and it's safe to say
that most of it was due to his good judg-
ment.
Judgment, coupled with energy and sagac-
ity, is rare combination, hard to beat, and
almost sure to bring success. Why not stop
to think, why not exercise better judgment
before entering into any kind of business
or speculation? Get your wits together and
use them to the best advantage, make every
ounce of energy count and you will likely
get value received for every lick you make.
Joseph E. Brown is known in the history
of Georgia as genius of common sense. He
was perhaps the most successful man that
Georgia ever produced. He gathered wealth
and fame with ease-he furnished an eX-
ample that the youth of the state would do
we'll to emulate.

Good Things in Savannah.
From the Savannah Press.

Editor Rainey of The Dawson News gives
US some cause for concern in the following
editorial paragraph in his excellent paper:
The Savannah Press says Columbus
continues to look to that city for all
the good things of life. But we hear
that one of the good things we once
knew no longer comes from there.
We cannot imagine to what Editor Raj
ney refers. We do not know of any good
things that Savannah had in the past that the
city does not have now. The fish are just as
fine as ever, the shrimp and terrapin are as
plentiful as in the past. The devil crab, a
Chatham county institution of rare delight
to the epicure, is still with US and we have
the finest supply of artesian water in the
world. Down at the beaches the Atlantic
ocean rolls in maiestically to the vast en-
joyment of the bathing throngs and we are
quite sure there has been no let up in the
supply of salt water trout, oysters and other
things that come from the tide waters of
Chatham. If there is anything the Terrell
county editor has been accustomed to enjoy
ing in Savannah that he cannot get now we
do not know what it can be.

MAKE 1T UNANIMOUS.

1t is unfortunate that an error as to the
time of maturity to the bond issues recently
authorized for paving the business streets
of Dawson and extending the waterworks
system has brought into question their le-
gality and made it necessary to submit the
issuance of bonds for these purposes to the
qualified voters of the city again.
At the election in May very little opposi-
ton was manifested toward either of the
propositions, and still better record should
be made when the voters go to the polls
Sept. 18th Both propositions should be
unanimously approved. 1t would be "a
feather in Dawson's cap'' if that were done.
Dawson is looked upon as one of the most
substantial and progressive of the smaller
cities of the state, and cannot afford not
to ratify her previous action. Let it be done
with enthusiasm and unanimity.

Cheap Shoes--For Export.
From the New York World.

A day or two after the published threat
Of still another jump on the price of shoes
an advertisement appeared in the Journal of
Commerce of 100000 pairs of mems arctics
and 1000 pairs of mems shoes, "Ready to
Ship at Once Direct from Our Own Facto-
ries" for export, at prices that excite curl
osity.
There were, for instance, $4,000 pairs of
mems work shoes at SO, "made two full
soles, solid leather insoles and counter, solid
lift heels" Other work shoes are offered at
1925, $2.35, $3.50 and $3.50. The highest
price quoted is S5.75 pair for "men's gum
metal calf high grade shoes" The fair sex
is not forgotten; two of the twelve items
provide it with kid shoes at 1925 and 'welt
oxford and high shoes" at $1.75 pair.
After all possible allowances are made for
retail and profit there remains between these
export prices and those the American pub
lie is forced to pay gap too wide to be will
ed by any excuse of trade necessity.
Taken in connection with increased prof
its reported by shoemaking firms to inves-
tors the export figures suggest unacceptable
alternatives. Either these shoes are of a
quality that will do American trade no good
abroad, or people at home are paying too
much.

NORTHERN RACE RIOTS.

The race riots in Washington and Chlca-
go are no indication of a new lawless spirit
in the country. The scenes are merely shift
ed from other geographical locations to
those of cities of the North in which large
negro populations are found.
Serious attempts have been made to find
a solution for the race animosities which
find expression in such occurrences as have
recently been witnessed in the North. Over
Jealous publicists with very little common
sense and no race pride claim the solution
lies in the enforced equality of the races.
ANY attempt to accomplish this purpose will
only add fuel to the flames. Race equality
will not be recognized. Most of the clashes
like those at Washington and Chicago start
among irresponsible persons. Reason has lit
tie to do with the inception of the troubles.
The riots are based on hatred and animosi-
ties. These differences are only aggravated
by an attempt to teach race equality.
In this connection the following from the
Sioux City Gowa) Journal, coming as it does
from a northern newspaper and showing a
true conception Of the situation, is both IN
teresting and refreshing:
These disturbances will increase IN
the North as the negro populations in
crease They are manifestations of the
subconscious idea of an inferior and
superior race. The negro in the North
especially in the northern cities must
recognize the difference between the
sentiment of the white race of the
North towards the negro race and the
sentiment of the white race in the South
on the same subject. In the South the
vicious negro finds no mercy. But the
negro who behaves knows that if he
were hungry a southern man would d.
vide his last quarter with him. He
knows his shortcomings, so long as they
iniure no one but himself, are over
looked in the South. But the indul-
gences which are tolerated there are not
tolerated in the North. The negro char
acter is less understood by northern
than by southern people. When the
northern negro gets the correct view
point on this matter and the northern
white people get the right conception
of the real negro character there will
be fewer race riots That is the direc-
ton in which education must turn if it
accomplishes anything for the elimina-
ton of race difficulties.

WAR SURPLUS FOOD.

The course of the war department in
withholding from the markets one hundred
and twenty million dollars worth of food
supplies, the surplus of the army purchases
at the time the armistice was signed is a
matter of public criticism, though some of
the expectations of relief from high prices
from dumping these supplies on the market
would be impossible of realization. 1t is
more a matter of motive than of result If
the war department withheld these supplies
from the civil population in order to bene-
fit the packers, from whom they were large
lv purchased, from the competition of re-
duced prices it deserves the most emphatic
denunciation. The price of livestock may go
down until the stock raisers appeal to the
public to eat more beef, but the price of
beef to the consumer remains as high as 1t
was before the farmer was hit by the slump.
The conditions did not justify the war de-
partment in withholding the supplies from
the open market to prevent slump against
those from whom they were purchased. The
government paid the profit on the stocks,
and after they passed into its hands it had
a right to do as it pleases with them. Ger
tainly the government was under no obHga-
ton to protect the seller against competition.

FOOD PRICE AGITATION.

Congress became suddenly galvanized in
to action on the high cost of living when the
country learned from the heads of large
labor organizations that the unrest which
prevails everywhere because of present
prices of the necessities of life might de-
velop into an upheaval which would be dis
astrous. At the same time the executive
branch of the government took on the APP
pearance of interest, and began study of
the problem and methods by which the evil
can be removed.
Like Nero, the entire government has fid-
died while Rome burned.
The public should not cease its efforts
nor slacken its irsistence until practical re-
suits are realized. The country must have
accomplishments. not talk and resolutions.
The futility of increasing wages to meet
living expenses and having living expenses
advanced to offset increase in wages is ap-
parent to everyone. The consumer, under
these conditions, does not benefit He IS
merely the handler of his wages, taking
them from the cashier and handing them
to those who supply his living. The test OF
high wages is the amount the wage earn
err, whether he be his own employer or
works for another, can save. If he can lay
aside no more when receiving $40 a week
than when receiving $40 he is getting no
higher wages. The country has been going
around the circle in an increasing scale.
Wages have been raised and the cost OF
necessities has been increased to meet the
wage increase. 1t would seem that the solu-
ton lies in reversing this process, and re-
ducing the cost of necessities.
Foreign demands are assigned as one of
the reasons for high prices. This probably
is correct America has fed Europe
through the starvation period of the war 1t
has done this work whole heartedly, and
in a spirit of humanity which has aston
ished the world But Europe has had a
chance to raise a crop in most of the war
starved regions. The radicalism of food
without work lies at the bottom of the star
walton vet unrelieved. 1t would seem that
as Europe is now able to supply most OF
her own food, if the people would work,
some consideration is due the American
people.
High prices of food in most of Europe
are possible because of American credit.
This nation, in way, is loanlng Europe
the cash to pay high prices for food, thus
compelling Americans to pay competing
prices.
When butter sells for 81 pound, as 1t
does in some European countries, someone
is making a profit equivalent to highway
robbery. Sometimes it looks as though an
embargo on food products in general would
be iustifable until the excessive prohts were
wrung out of prices both at home and
abroad.
