The Chinaman Will Get Your
Scalp If You Don't Get His.

The proposition that is up to the South
for immediate action is, "'Do we want to do
away with one of the greatest American
farm products" one that has helped to lift
the southern farmer out of the clutches of
poverty and want, caused by the advent of
the boll-weevil, which has rendered the
raising of cotton hazardous undertaking?
If you do want to preserve this great in
dustry in its swadling clothes, so to speak,
as it is today then you should exert every
endeavor to protect this industry against
the destroying competition of the Chinese.
This can only be done by placing tariff on
imported peanuts that will equalize the cost
of production.
The South has sufficient suitable peanut
land to raise every pound of peanuts that
the United States will require. 1t gives the
southern farmer one more profitable crop.
1t employs thousands of people in the local
result of his labor, to our American markets
it can be made one of our biggest indus
tries.
American labor is protected by the exclu-
sion act which prohibits Cinnamon from en-
tering the United States. Now why permit
the Chinaman to ship his farm products, the
result of his labor, to out American markets
in competition with American farmers?
If it is right to protect the American la
borer against the competition of the cheap
labor of the orient it is by the same analy-
sis right and proper to protect our Ameri
can farmers from the competition of his
crops raised at home and shipped to our
markets. And the American farmer is re-
sponsibe for the fact that he is not pro-
tected.
What is sauce for the goose is sauce for
the gander The American organized la
borer may be the goose and is getting all
the sauce, but the farmer, who may be the
gander, Is not getting a look-in on the
sauce.
1t is going to require organization of the
American farmer to protect the peanut in
dustry and other industries threatened by
the unequal competition of the Chinese
farmer. The peanut growers in Terrell
county are going to be asked to participate
in the local organization of a peanut asso-
citation, which will have as its main object
the securing of a tariff on imported peanuts,
and each one interested is requested to see
Mr. Ed Stevens or Mr.. H. R. Simmons,
managers of the two oil mills in Dawson,
who will have charge of the organization
work in this section.

NEWSPAPERS HIT AGAIN.

| NEWSPAPER publishers have been notified
to prepare themselves for the sharpest ad-
vance in the price of print paper since pa
per started its meteoric climb from $50
and less ton about five years ago. Inc
price has advanced to a minimum of Sl5O
ton, changeable, horizontally, every SIX
months for five years.
The burden imposed by this tremendous
increase in paper cost foreshadows reVoiu-
tionarv changes in advertising and sub
scription rates throughout the country, the
publishers believe.
The newspaper publishers have no re-
course. Five paper mills control 70 per
cent of the supply of the United States and
Canada. The publishers are literally at
/ their mercy, although it is not to be implied
that the mills are exacting eXtortlonate
profits or practicing unlawful methods The
manufacturers Justify their action by
reason of an increase is the cost of
labor. coal and other factors entering into
the cost of manufacturing paper They
have tremendous investments to protect IN
mills and timber lands.
ONLY last week sixty-eight middle west
publishers who are supplied by large
paper company were called to Chicago
and notified of the latest development in
the paper market. The company announced
that it had been offered 5000 ton for its
output, and that it's present patrons either
would have to submit to another sharp ad
vance and sign a five years "blind" con-
tract or look elsewhere for their supply of
print paper. AS the only other source is
the "auction market" controlled likewise
by the mills, the publishers will be forced
to sign.
Meanwhile, the publishers must prepare
to distribute the added burden When it is
considered that print paper is one of the
principal items entering into the cost of
publishing newspaper, and that the cost
of this item alone has increased in five
years from $40 to $3.50 ton, the public
may gain some idea of what the newspapers
are up against. Moreover, the $3.50 price
is just the beginning of new series of
quotations that are to continue for five
years with price adjustments every six
months
Other troubles are constantly occurring
for the newspaper makers. Every item in
in the publishing business has
advanced in price The added burdens in
clude the proposed advance in freight rates
and the new postal rates which became eff
fective July l.
Manifestly, the newspaper publisher is
the "feller who needs friend"

FORGOTTEN STATESMEN.

Many of Georgia's sons who rendered tne
state and nation distinguished service IN
the early days of the commonwealth nave
been forgotten, and in some instances thelr
graves are not only unmarked and neg
lected but no one knows just where they
are resting in the everlasting sleep. The
brilliant statesman for whom Terrell county
was named is among the number. The cur
rent issue Of the Gainesville Herald says:
Clark Terrell was the brilliant con-
gresham from this district of rs years
ago. His grave is in ruins; no one can
tell where he sleeps, except that he was
buried in the cemetery at the Method
ist church in Gainesville.

COUNTRIES

With state, county and city taxes added
the total per capita tax in this country APP
proximates the tax in the United Kingdom,
where local taxes are much lower. 1t is
evident that these were considered by con-
gress when it estimated prospective taxes
increased by the war bonus, for the state
ment was made that taxes would then ex-
coed $50 per capita.
American taxes are relatively higher than
English taxes because of the difference in
the cost of living. English food and cloth
ing prices have been regulated by govern
ment action. Between England's effort to
pay her war debt through taxation and its
governments regulation of the cost of liv-
ing the pound sterling has held its value in
exchange better than has the American dol
lar.

1t takes pretty shrewd chap nowadays
to tell just what sort of girl he is getting.
The artistic temperament of the fair sex
has increased by leaps and bounds. The up
to-the-minute makeup keeps the young fell
low guessing as to the real girl underneath
the paint and the powder and the padding.
1t doesn't take long look to catch the
penciling and the daubing, but it takes a
heap of speculation to determine what they

WAR TAXES.

During the closing hours of the last con-
gress there was considerable discussion of
taxation At that time there was lacking
information that would afford comparison
of government taxation in the principal
countries involved in the war. This infor-
nation is now available, and the compari-
son is interesting. 1t follows:
