Southern Farm Prosperity Absolu
Dependent on Cutting Produc-
ton Cost Through Food
Making and Saving.

Atlanta, Especial. IA right
about-face movement in 1921 is neces.
sary II the farmers OF the South are
to get on safe, firm ground again.
said H. G. Hastings. President Of the
great Southeastern Fair.
TT looks as II We all went cotton
crazy last spring, despite all the dan
ger signals flying and the disregard
OF plain facts as to costs Of cotton
production. We have repeated ounfol
lies Of 1911 and 1914 and piled UP
debts based on costly food and grain
to be paid for by cotton that is now
below cost Of production.
with few exceptions those items
of food and grain could and should
have been produced on home acres
at one-third to one-hslf what the sup
ply merchant charges for them.
Cotton is the one best money crop
for the South, and probably always
will be. The time Of war prices is
over and the problem from now on ia
to lower cost Of production and at the
same time afford the cotton grower a
fair profit.
Cost of making cotton is primarily
the cost of food, grain and forage
for the farmer, his family, his labor.
ers or tenants, and his work stock.
Cutting food, grain and forage costs
by home production will reduce cot
ton costs from one-third to one-half.
plant for an abundance OF food,
grain and forage, thus cutting down
store bills, and the lower prices for
cotton will not hurt SO much. We can
not, with European countries so thor
oughly disorganized, reasonably expect
high prices for cotton for several years
and we must make cotton at lower
cost. or else quit cotton growing.
"Most of us cannot quit cotton,
hence the absolute necessity Of food,
grain and forage planting in 1921
the making on home acres Of every
pound of food and grain needed to see
us through.
in this food production program,
take the home vegetable garden sert
ously. Give the home garden square
deal and it will surprise you in the
amount of healthful food produced. 1t
takes the least ground, can be plant
ed the earliest, brings quick returns
and IL kept replanted and worked will
stay by you all the season through"

DRINK HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST
Says you really feel clean. sweet

are seldom IL.

Headaches are caused by auto
intoxicati0n-which means self
poisoning. Liver and bowel pois-
ons, called toxins, sucked into the
blood excite the heart which
pumps the blood sc fast that it
congests in the smaller arteries
and veins of the head, producing
violent, throbbing pain and dis
tress, called headache. You be-
come nervous, respondent, sick,
feverish and miserable, your
meals sour and almost nauseate
you. Then you resort to acetani-
lid, aspirin or the bromides,
which temporarily relieve but do
not rid the blood of these irrita-
ting toxins.
A glass of hot water with q tea

whittier are we drifting" is a
subject used by our friend, Newt.
Nash, this week, in complaining
of roads, taxes, etc. For his in
formation we will say that we are
drifting" into a brighter and bet
ter day. Times may be a little
dull right now, but these things
have to come-God Almighty in
tended that it should be thus. We
have noticed, however, that the
man who works hard, always tells
the truth, and is strictly honest,
will get through this old world in
pretty good shape.
The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1921-01-20
WHITTIER ARE WE DRIFTING?

We suppose the above. question
has been appropriate ever since
our good God made the mistake Of
making man and turning him loose
on the world, but we doubt very
seriously if there ever was a time
when the question was more ap-
pporriate than at the present.
Conditions are bad, there is no
doubt about it, Our farmers have
been hit hard the past few years.
Therefore, the question arises,
whittier are we drifting? Espec-
tally in the ways Of taxation.
Our taxes have increased in the
last year nearly 100 per cent, and
in the face of SO much disaster
what will be the outcome if the
present situation continues.
For an example, take the pres
ent road system, especially in
Beat 5, for | am acquainted with
the conditions of some things in
that Beat. At the present rate if
it keeps on there will not be mon
ey enough to work and pay for it
six months longer. / noticed in
the last proceedings there was one
man allowed good little sum for
work done last September.
Oh! whittier are we drifting?
| for one do think that under
present way of working the roads
there is too much responsibility
on the Beat and not enough on the
ones who are doing what is done.
Now our levy for road mainten-
ance in this beat is IL mills, and
S. communication tax, and it seems
that the complaint is as great as
it was when it was not but one
half so much In beat 5 we have
five voting precincts. / think if
each precinct had it's own owner
ship and let out the roads to a
competent contractor and let him
give bond for. his work and have
substantial commissioner to see
that he does do the work before
he gets his pay, then SO much Of
the responsibility would be taken
off of the beat and be placed on
the man who is to do the work,
and gets the pay. / think this
would give better satisfaction and
better roads.
Gut says some one that we are
living in progressive age. It
seems that we are from
the amount of money it takes to
run everything. I dare say that
not one-half of the taxes of the
county have been paid yet. Will
some one please tell me whittier
are we drifting. Are we drifting
on good roads of paying taxes as
"a pleasure and a duty or are we
drifting, or have we drifted, until
we have stuck in the mudhole Of
the burden Of taxation. The ques-
tion is openn to some one.
Whittier are we drifting?
Yours for better times,
N. H. NASH.

Editors Note-If Mr.. Nash will
get his Brandon News under date
of February 10, 1919, and read the
article he wrote when he announc-
ed for supervisor of beat 5, he will
find that we are drifting on the
same road that he blazed out for
the voters in that article.

KICKING ABOUT TAXES.

1t does not cost anything to
kick about taxes, and the past
time is being INDUCED in this
year by "a larger per cent than
usual.
The habit of kicking about tax,
es was begun away back in King
Solomon's day, and it has come
on down through all the ages and
will probably continue until the
end of time.
In these modern times the peo-
pie are generally responsible for
the amount of money they have to
part with annually at the tax col
lector's window.
Take for instance our own good
old county of Rankin. During the
last campaign-just two short
summers ago-95 out of every 100
men you met-and the Aides were
soiid-were in favor of building
and maintaining good roads at all
hazards. Nobody stopped to count
the cost. Every candidate from
constable to governor had to de-
clare himself on this proposition
before he could find favor with
the voters. No man could have
been elected supervisor who was
not open and above board in ia
vor of good roads, good schools
and good churches.
Large bond issues for the con-
struction of highways were voted
with little or no opposition. Mon
ey was plentiful and the goose
hung high" Very little thought
was given to the final day of reck-
oning.
Every member Of the present
BOARD of supervisors was elected
on a good roads platform. And
that was right, as no country can
ever prosper without good roads.
However, good roads cost mon
ey. They are for the benefit of
the taxpayers, and the tax payers
must, therefore, pay the bills.
The cause of the boost in taxes
is due to the additional state levy
made by the legislature and the
additional road tax made by the
board of supervisors. The addi-
tional state levy is 8 LIZ mills and
the road levy is about 5 or 6
mills over that of previous years.
I'm the face of this extraordina-
ry road levy there is no denying
the fact that many of our roads
are in deplorable condition at
the present time. But there are
several valid reasons why this
condition prevails. During the
past two years an unprecedented
rainfall has occurred in this
country. Not only have the rains
been unprecedented in inches, but
they have also been unequaled in
heavy downpours-regular gully
washers, doing inestimable DAM
age to the roads. Had the old o.
verseer system been in vogue not
a third of the roads could have
been Travelled at all.
Not only have our road builders
had to contend with the unusually
heavy rains, but they have also
had to pay abnormally high prices
for labor, feed stuff and materials
for the roads. Common negro la
Dor demanded from $3.50 to 81
per day; feed costs So to 81 per
sack, and everything else that was
necessary in road work has been
