Knocking Your Home Town.
From the Townsville Enterprise


Wherever you go, be the town large or
small, progressive or slow, you always find
some one who is ready to knock his town
Why do they do it is a question oft asked
and seldom answered.
A man will live, in a town all his life make
a fortune, hold back part of his wealth and
his moral support, which retards the progress
OF his town, and then when some fellow
comes along discussing various towns and
cities he is usually the first to take
fling at his own community. He has a home
there, has reared his children, and all he has
in money was made there and the majority
of his friends are numbered among its citi-
zenS, yet he feels it his bounden duty to be-
! little his own town before the stranger. He
speaks OF the progress OF this place or that,
what they have, what they are doing, what
they plan, its streets, its wonderful banking
facilities, its ever-aggressive citizenship and
spirit OF cooperation for any movement for
the betterment of the town.
| This same man who is so ready to criti-
else his own town is in nine cases out of ten
the man who holds back his support from the
very things he admires in other towns and
prevents realization in his own town. He is
soured on all attempts for progress, he expects
the others to do it, and yet he blames the
town for being dead" when he has been the
chief hOrn-tOOter in the funeral procession. He
wants progress, but refuses himself to pro-
tgress and in so doing prevents community
progress.
! No town can make the progress it should
unless all pull together. As a chain is no
stronger than its weakest link, so it is with a
town in regard to its unprogressive citizens
If they do not and will not help they should
not knock their town. which is their home
and if they do knock and boost some other
city they ought to move to that place and
give it their undivided support
| Your town is nothing more than you make
it. If you can't boost it, no matter what its
shortcomings may be, then move. Don't
knock

Fool Movement Clubs.

The drives" and campaigns which have
been sweeping the country from border to
border ever since the declaration of war i'll
1917 are equaed only in number by the clubs,
boards and committees organized and appoint
ed to remedy wrong conditions and meet al
legged community needs. No matter how Sc
rous or how trivial the suddenly discovered
civic ailment is an investigation must be de
manded by an organization started for the
purpose while another group prepares itself
to discuss altering things for the better. 1t is
fine to have a community awake to its own
needs and eager to cooperate, in fulfilling
them. Yet, it is possible that the leagues
and boards" and CLUBS" and "societies"
have been almost as much overdone the
drives and campaigns and special weeks"
The citizen trying to so about his own at
fairs is pestered by pleas to join and pay a
dollar, to subscribe money to this or that, and
to sign petition. Too often it is time and
money wasted.

SUCH LEGISLATION!
From the Swainsboro Forest Blade.

Some people would like very much to be
called reformers but they don't know in
what manner to start reforming. For
instance, a bill has been introduced in
the legislature, or a resolution rat h r.
IL t h orizing that instead of publishing
constitutional amendments in various newspa-
pers that they be read from superior court
benches, thus informing the people of their
nature.
This man should be quietly informed by
some one who knows-and it does not take
any great amount of knowledge to know this
that this would be the most expensive way
OF advertising. When you detain a court long
enough to read a great long constitutional
amendment you have put the state to con-
siderable more expense than you would have
you have not advertised the matter.
The people should be thoroughly inform
ed as to what they are voting for when they
are voting to make a change i'll the cOnsti-
tuition of the state, and the only way they
can become informed is to publish it in the
county newspaper-more widely read by the
general voting public than any other periodi-
cal-which he can take to his friends and
read and ponder over at his leisure
In this manner a voter can generally ar
rive at a clear understanding OF what he is
voting for, but you might hear about the mat
ter dozen times from the bench and he
would still have no definite understanding
of what he was voting on.
Again. in that manner only a small per
cent of the people would hear OF the matter
at all when if published several times in the
county paper practically every voter in the
county will either read or hear it read be-
fore he goes to cast his ballot

The Highway Commission.

1t would be informing to know what COM
prises the influences that are so determined to
do away with the Georgia state highway COM
mission. The effort to circumscribe the work
Of the commission was persistent and untirlng
in the last general assembly and an effort to
abolish the commission has been equally as
persistent and untiring at the present session.
If there is anything wrong in the admins
tration Of this department it should be point
ed out in specific terms and remedy applied
by putting it on a more efficient basis. There
would be no wisdom in any approach TO the
return of the loose conditions prevailing be
fore the state highway department was es-
tablished. The News does not believe the
people of Georgia desire that those condi-
tions be restored. The state IS just now be-
ginning a large program Of highway con-
struction involving millions of dollars, and
this work demands competent supervision. Il
IS no time to abolish the commission. Il
rather should be made more efficient

1t is estimated that the Ford motor profits
for the month OF May were more than SIS
100000, or above $5OO,OOO day The June
profits considerably exceeded that figure,
even with the price OF the product decreased.
The growing profits are explained by reduced
costs of materials and increased efficiency on
the part OF the workmen. If they shall con-
tinue they will run into astounding figures
in years time. At 100000 a day for 312
working days Mr.. Ford's profits in a year
would be $156,OO0,OOO To make that much
money in year ought to satisfy the most
acqusitive of men.

Mountain Is Moving.
From the Detroit News.

Twenty miles north of Las Cruces n NJ,
lies a remarkable natural phenomenon-a
mountain OF calcium sulphate, or lime 1t is
twenty-five miles long by ten miles wide, and
there are ridges on it from 200 to 500 feet
high. The lime seems to ooze out of the earth
like the waters of a boiling spring. The ifs
sures through which the mineral is elected
do not follow any general course, but wind
about in all directions.
This mountain OF lime is travelling steadily
westward at the rate Of ten miles each hun
dred years. Nothing can stop it as 1t creeps
along through the centuries, destroying all in
front of it. The reason it travels west instead
OF east, is on account of the prevailing strong
westerly winds. When the sun is shining
brightly one cannot look upon its glaring
whiteness without the aid of smoked glasses.
Another of its pecuaritieS is that it is always
moist six inches under the top layer The lime
has great affinity for water which it alb
stracts from the air.

NEW METHODS OF TAXATION.

From the Cofde1e Dispatch
New methods of taxation IN Georgia must
be repulsive to the average citizen. There is
not business operated in Cordele today
whose proprietor knows whether he has paid
all the taxes which the state government i'm
poses on him and his business. New taxing
methods only add to the vexing multiplicity
OF taxes already in vogue. What we would
urge is a rightfu application OF the taxes we
already collect, in an economic administration
OF government II these taxes were fairly
collected and wisely expended Georgia would
soon be out OF debt Have we no public Of
fcials who are willing to apply the business
yard stick for a while?

Great Is South Georgia.
From the Nashville Herald.

1t is estimated that over quarter OF a mil
lion dollars was paid to watermelon growers
of this section OF south Georgia last week
The crops this year will be worth well over a
million dollars, it is said The farmers OF Ber-
rien and other nearby counties have been
reaping a golden harvest this year from their
melons While other sections higher up the
months dull period the business men OF this
section are just beginning to plan for bust
ness picking up. Tobacco will begin coming
to market about the time watermelons play
out and before the tobacco crop is harvested
and sold the cotton crop will be on the market

From the Oglethorpe Echo

that the bushel crates in which the potatoes
were shipped cost twenty-five cents each:
that the freight charges were seventy cents a
