WE MUST HAVE A NEW LEGISLATURES

WE MUST HAVE A NEW LEGISLATURE
The tiasco OF incompetency insincerity, and sell
hshness that is staged annually at the state cap
itol IN Atlanta is now in full blast The claw
givers' of Georgia have struck the annual
perennial stump, and will probably leave Georgia
finances in worse hole than they were before
1t is crying shame that the richest state in the
South should be always on the ragged edge of
bankruptcy, that its most valuable institutions
should always be~on a starvation basis and in
spite OF all that with large part of the people
overburdened with atrocfous tax system that
puts the full weight of governmental expense on
about one-fourth of the wealth of the state
The first thing that must be done to pull Geor-
gia out of the bog of disagreement, or ungov-
eminent, is to get generally better class OF men
IN the legislature With annual sessions of fifty
days each it is out of the question for the average
man of affairs and ability to go to the legislature
The sacrifice is too great. With biennial sessions
of thirty days EACH all the time that an efficient
body would need to transact the business of the
state, the best brains from each county could be
drawn into the public service. Georgia could
have real government and sensible laws and the
present handicaps of faulty taxation and INSULT
cient funds for state work could be removed.
Each year there is minority of able men in
the legislature, men accustomed to large re-
sponsibility who have put their affairs in order
sufficiently to permit the sacrifice of fifty days
out OF the year. These men are practically help
less In attempting to accomplish anything. The
average OF ability is too low. And it will remain
low as long as the length and frequency of ee-
'slative sessions is such that the average man
whose time is worth anything can't afford to
accept Legislative office

WHAT WE LEARNED ABOUT PEACHES

The crowd of farmers and would-be farmers from
Fitzgerald and Rochelle who went to the peach
country yesterday learned a lot about peach
growing and agreed that peaches will pay as
well in Ben Hill county as in any other county
in the state.
But we learned that peach orchard is not
magic and flower strewn entrance to riches There
people in Montezuma, Marshallve and Fort
Valley whom peaches have made" and some
whom peaches have broke" There are rich folks
and poor folks in Houston the same as in Ben
Hill Some of the rich ones are richer and some
of the poor ones poorer but that doesn't
signify much
-Four of the outstanding peach growers of the
section whom met, men whom peaches have
enriched, were in their own personalities evidence
that peaches alone do not make peach farmer
wealthy. Ed Mckenzie of Montezuma, l. H.
Beard A. ]. Evans, and Mr. Wilson of Fort Val
ley are good examples of the combination of
brains and hard work that is necessary to make
peaches big money crop. Luck was small
factor IN the success, perhaps, but without brains
and hard work there would have been no oppor-
tunity for luck to step in and help out.
Men have made fortunes out of peaches The
peach growing section probably assays more
wealth to the square mile than any other rural
section of Georgia. But that wealth did not
come easy and the amount of intelligent hard
work it took to create fortunes out of peaches
would create fortunes out of watermeons, or to-
bacco, or cotton, sweet potatoes, or a dozen
other crops
Diversihcation can hardly be carried too far
for section Peaches can be grown proftably
here, if the fruit is fortified with sufficient brains
and watered with sufficient sweat of the growers
brow. 1t would be good crop for this section
But no crop is much better than any other crop
when everything is considered If the margin of
profits for good year is unusually high, the risk
is usually unusually long If the margin of profit
IS small the risk is usually small factor
Peach money is needed in Fitzgerald and Ro-
chelle and Ben Hill and Wilcox counties but so
IS watermelon money and sweet potato money
and tobacco money and cotton and corn and hay
and peanut and every other kind of money. Some
times people shoot at the arch of the rainbow
when If they only knew it, they are standing on
the pot OF gold

veins. We may squeeze the animal out of their
blood in few million of years, or perhaps in
few thousand years-but not in the twentieth
century. And the editors who crusade today
against the fighting spirit are merely breaking
their lances against concrete walls league thick
But from all we can hear of that other great
tracas between fighting men-the late war in
Europe-it was far more disgusting and far less
romantic than the recent scrap in Jersey City,
Ask any soldier And as for the newspaper
dope that came from the former, it was Just as

Meat Cause Of
Kidney Trouble
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys if Back
Hurts or Bladder Bothers

If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys
with salts occasionally, says a noted
authority who tells us that meat
forms uric acid which almost paral-
Yves the kidneys il. their efforts to
expel it from the blood. They be-
come sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with dull misery in the kid
ney region, sharp pains in the back
or sick headache, dizziness. your
stomach sours, tongue is coated and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine gets
cloudy, full of sediment, the channels
often get sore and irritated, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the bodys urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any pharm-
acy here; take tablespoonful in
glass of water before breakfast for
a few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush
and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also
to neutralize the acids in urine, SO it
no longer irritates, thus ending blad-
der weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, and makes delightful efferves-
cent Whitewater drink.
