Clippings and Comments

A negro was arrested in Augusta
a few days ago with eight pistols in |
his possession. The news dispatch
did not state how many razors he
had. The trouble with a considera-
BILE proportion of the younger colored
gentry is that they run mostly to
pleasure and pistols rather than to
work and good citizenship.-Metter
Advertiser.
Flesh color is so popular these
days that the editor of the Macon
Telegraph is often puzzled as to whe-
Their it's a garment or a girl. Well,
the two usually go together.-Wai-
ton Tribune.
At least, they should go together.
A Northern professor plans to
communicate with Mars, and Johnny
Spencer has already requested him
to inquire about second-handed um-
brella with a dislocated rib.-Walton
News.
If that's all Johnny has lost lately
he ought to be willing to lie low and
let fellows with real troubles have
a chance.
While it is true that the boys of
this generation don't know anything
about the old-fashioned cradle men
used to harvest wheat with, it is also
just as true that there are many wo-
men of this generation who don't
know anything at all about the old
fashioned cradle women used to rock
babies in.-Dawson News.
Still we believe the modern binder
is superior to the old grain cradle
and certainly the percentage of NOR
tally among babies has decreased in
the last fifty years, and we have got
our forefathers skinned in good
many ways. We don't banker after
a number of unsanitary customs of
the last century.
Editor Rucker, of the Free Press,
is holding on to Wilson and the lea
que of Nations with one hand and
swinging to Hoke Smiths coat tail
with the other. Some job.-Cor1~
merce News.
Well that is not such hard Job.
and Editor Rucker is very capable
man.
We look eagerly for the latter days
of the week, when the weekly ex-
changes come to our desk. We are
always anxious to see what the boys
of the weekly papers have to saw on
the editorial page.-Commerce News.
To US it is like trip around the
state without the trouble and ex-
pense of travel, to see what the boys
with the weeklies and doing and say
ing.
The preaching of lies, hatred, dis
content and anti-government doc
trine by mean leaders influences a
class of men who are law-abiding and
peaceful when left alone. Imported
speakers, gifted in the art of pref
udicing folks against the regular
order of things, can come to Geor-
gia and win a big following. We
used to believe Georgia was too we'll
balanced to fall for the destructive
thories being preached by radicals.
Our opinion has changed. Most any
thing can happen in the state now
adays.-Commerce Observer.
Sometimes we feel that way too
but only for an hour. 1t is our job to
correct the false impressions, to put
the truth in a clear light where it
cannot be mistaken. Let's not give
up the ship to the demagogues and
false prophets.
EIberton is going to have another
newspaper. They have one splendid
paper in The Star.-Hartwell Star.
That is true and the new paper
may find too late, that it was not
needed
Just because a girl is pretty and
loves a fellow is no reason why she
should be made to cook and wash
dishes and make clothes for the child
rem for the rest of her life.-Hart-
we'll Sun.
Yes, but how about the fellow who
wants the girl, and knows that there
will be a good deal of all that in life,
and if the girl is willing too-what
then?
If the peace loving negro of the
South will help his white friends to
