The HoME.TowN WEEKLY.

A young business man in Columbus,
Ohio, is responsible for the following
gem:

serve act as will eliminate any dis
ordinations in said act, or in its
enforcement a n d operation,
against the discount of notes,
grants and bills drawn or issued
for agricultural purposes.
In this grave crisis, which
threatens the prosperity and pro-
gress of the South, we urge our
banks, bankers and business men
to extend to our farmers all the
available credits, in order that
they may not be compelled to
place their cotton upon the market
at once, and thus have to sell the
same for less than the cost of pro
duction.
6. We hereby pledge our sup
port to the nominees of the Demo-
cratic party for all offices, includ-
ing those of president and vice
president of the United States, be-
lieving that, in the peculiar stu
alton of the South, the best intet-
ests of our people will be subserv-
ed by a Democratic administra-
ton, although we are not able to
agree with the views of these can
didates upon the subject of the
League of Nations.
7. We declare for retrenchment
and economy in the administra-
ton of both the state and federal
governments, and against the Gre
alton or continuance of useless and
unnecessary office and commits
sions.
8. We condemn the practice of
employing private counsel to rep
resent the state in the collection
of its taxes and revenues, and 9TH
err litigation which should be con-
Quoted by the encouragement
and olicitor-general in behalf of
this commonwealth.
We demand that the constitu-
tional guarantees, in both the state
and federal constitutions, respect
ing the establishment of religion,
shall be forever enforced and re-
spected, to the end that the church
and state shall always be separate
and distinct, and no moneys shall
be appropriated out of the treas
uries either directly or indirectly
to any but state institutions.
10. We demand that the laws
in reference to the supervision by
the state orphanages, asylums,
school and hospitals, controlled
by private individuals or denomi-
national institutions, as well as all
other laws, be strictly and impair
TALLY enforced.
II. We regret that our Demo
cratic national committeeman is
holding the office to which the
sovereign Democratic convention
of this state nominated another
distinguished Georgian and Demo
crat; and while this convention is
without legal remedy, we hereby
condemn and denounce such inter
ference with the choice of the
Democracy of this state, as being
wholly uniustifiable and undemo-
cratic.

THE PICNICKEks ARRIVE.

Pretty soon all the Meadow Grove
people began to arrive. The sun
hadn't been up very long and the
grass was wet with dew. Sam
Snakes boy was as wet as any old
garden hose when he got there, and
when he said he couldn't get rain
coat to fit him, Mr.. Coon remarked
that he had perfectly good umbrel
la cover he'd send him for nothing.
Phil Frog was as happy as a pig in
clover for he loved to be wet, you
know. and isn't it strange when he
is such a dude! Orrie Owl and the
Blackbirds, and Bud Blue-bottle
were lucky, for they could fly, but
poor Tommy Thousand Logger did
not get there until away late, for he
couldn't find his overshoes. And
wasn't Muff Mole lucky, though, for
he came the whole way under ground
and didn't get a bit damp. Mrs.
Woodchuck was awfully ashamed of
her family when they got there, for
every dud that they wore was as limp
as dish rag, and she'd stayed up

other feature attractions.
Now in order to put this celebra-
ton on, it will be necessary for the
people of Sumter county to come
to the aid of the local post inan-
cially as well as with their moral sup
port. Sumter county is perhaps the
only county in the State of Geor-
gia which has not had some kind of
homecoming or celebration for the
ex-service men. Not a penny has
been contributed by any person in
Sumter county for such a celebra-
ton and the ex-service men feel that

everybody was happy and they all

of use trying to start them yet, be-
cause the boys were all shinnying

make fudge and such things.
Suddenly Mr.. Bunny pointed his
cane at large bali hanging from

that?" he asked.
Then Nick had time to explain.

LETTERS FROM
THE PEOPLE

Editor Times : Recorder: The
John D. Mathis Post No. 2, Ameri-
can Legion, is trying to arrange
celebration on Armistice Day, No
vember II, for all ex-service men in
the Third congressional district.
This celebration is to be held in Am
CIRCUS and is to be held in connec-
ton with the Sumter county fair
which will be in progress on this date.
1t is our intention to have a large
parade during the morning, the. pa
rade to be made up of Confederate
veterans, veterans of the Spanish
American war, veterans of the re-
cent world war and members of the
Boy Scouts. Most of these vet
Grams will be attired in their now dis
carded uniforms. Immediately fol-
lowing the parade the Veterans will
be entertained at "a barbecue where
we hope to have the governor of the
state and some other noted orator
make aocouple of short speeches. I'M
mediately following the barecue va
rious forms of entertainment will be
provided for the men; a football
game will be played between the
Third District Agricultural college
here and the South Georgia college
team from McRae. A special pro-
gram has been arranged with the
Fair association for this day and
night; a splendid program of fire
works will be shown that night,
among which will be the battle of
Chateau Thierry showing the parts
that the American troops took in this
battle-their taking of the bridge
over the River Marine and other fea-
lures of this one of the worlds
greatest battles. Other features
will be the American Legion en-

Full Text of Macon State
Convention Resolutions


The full text of the resolution.
adopted by the state convention il
Macon yesterday follow:
The Democratic party of the
State of Georgia, in convention
sembled, adopts and proclaims the
following platform:
l. We hereby declare our unal-
terable opposition to the League of
Nations brought back by President
Wilson from Versailles.
2. We reaffirm our faith in
the ancient creed of the Democrt-
ic party. We believe In free
speech, freedom of the press, free
dom of assemblage and local self
government. We believe in the
American system of free represen-
tative, constitutional government.
We believe in the rights of the
states and in the distribution of
power between the legislative, ex-
ecutive and judicial branches of
the government
3. Resolved, that this conyen-
ton recommend the repeal of all
espionage, sedition and conscrip-
ton laws passed during the war,
and oppose compulsory military
training and large standing ar
my.
4. Whereas, the people have
thrice during this year expressed
their disapproval of the League of
Nations, we instruct our senator's
in congress to vote against its
adoption, believing, as we do. Sin
peace and amity towards all the
nations of the eastern hemisphere.
but in entangling political ailianc-
es with none," and that "it is our
true policy to steer clear of poll
tical alliances with anys part of
the foreign world"
5. Whereas, there has been I'M
due initiation in the cost of produc-
ton, and whereas, the disorganiza-
ton of international exchanges
has rendered the export of the
chief agricultural product of this
country, including the cotton of
the South, almost impossible, and
whereas credits based upon these
products should not be suddenly
curtailed, but deflation should be
gradual, thus preventing great
losses to the cotton growers of the
South, and the grain growers of
the West, we deplore and denounce
as inimical to the best interests of
the country the sudden curtail-
ment of credits based upon agri-
cultural products, and the declar-
ed policy of the secretary of the
treasury, and of the Federal Re
serve board, in declining to extend
credit based upon agricultural
products for the purpose of enab-
ling the producers to hold the
same, so that they will not be fore
ed to put the same on the market
of the country as soon as gather
ed.
We earnestly urge our senator's
and Representatives in congress to
press the enactment of such
amendments to the Federal Re

days committee will call upon the
