WHERE THE MONEY GOES.

Triton Gazette: Here's another illustration
of the difficulties encountered by truck grow
ers in Georgia: A Valdosta, Ga. man re-
ceived returns the past week from two car
loads of cabbage shipped to New York. One
car contained 629 hampers and sold for
$687.88. The freight was $50097; commission
$3.50; cost of hampers 500, leaving the
grower $1812. Another carload brought SIS
net Neither paid cost of cutting and pack
ing. The grower is confronted with the al
tentative of leaving his cabbage to rot in the
field or gathering them and giving them to
the railroads and commission men. Quite a
large acreage was planted in cabbage around
Triton this season Prices were so low that
some growers gave away what they could
and plowed the remainder under The later
crop is coming on now. Triton truckers ex-
pected better prices, but judging from the
Vadosta mans experience they will be dis
appointed. Unless the railroads can decide
to give the producer at least half truck grow
ers here will turn their attention to something
else

and oil up the wheel hoes. | want to garden
when I see the neighbors, digging in the
dirt, singing at their labors; old blue Jeans

GRAND IURIES AND JUDGES.

Thomasville Times Enterprise: We recall
but we can't quite say when and where
Judge amending or correcting presentmehtS
of the grand Jury and ordering the clerk to
put same upon the minutes as corrected, all,
however, after the grand jury presentments
had been read in open court. we THINK that
if would not have been without precedent II
Judge Monroe after the presentmentS mad
been received, had erased theretrom SO much
of same as referred to ylOlators OF the pro-
hibition law being given changing sentences
rather than fines. But the judge thought even
the reading of such suggestion in open court
was going far beyond the bounds of proprle-
ty on the part Of the grand Jury.
1t seems to us that grand juries have made
such recommendations elsewhere in many in,
stances, and both the public and the Judge
forgot their views within very short time
after their adjournment. No one would ever
have criticised Judge Monroe for ignoring
any recommendation of the grand jury. Near
w everyone does. Nevertheless, grand Jurles
have always exercised the right to make
suggestions.
In the early thirties a grand jury Of Thorn
as county discussed the South Carolina null
LITIGATION act and instructed the people OF the
north not only as to the law but also as to the
proprety of southern states multiplying acts OF
congress, even to the extent OF breaking up
the union A grand jury is liable to get ex-
cited about anything from the United States
constitution to the matter OF cats running
at large right which, exercised, SATISFIES
the grand jury and often amuses the public.
When Hon Joe Hill Hall was represent
ing Bib county in the Georgia house OF
representatives the grand jury Of his home
county gave him some explicit instructions
as to his duties in the Legislature. Uncle Joe
informed that august body that if they could
manage to attend to their duties he believed
he could attend to his; that he had never
GRAND iurV that was COmDetent
attend fully to its own business, much less
that OF anybody else But Uncle Joe's com
ment was made good naturally and with
good humor, while Judge Monroe took the
matter too seriously and apparently lost con-
troll of his temper.
The grand jury is an old institution and,
at one time in our history, a very necessary
one 1t still serves many good purposes and
its recommendations, whether within or be-
yond the scope of its duties, are interesting
even when not authoritative or instructive.
We like to have the opinions OF all good
citizens not excepting grand juries.

CONFIDENCE RESTORED.

Eugene Meyer, jr., director OF the war fl
nance corporation, after a swing around the
country, reports that confidence has returned
and it is confidence based upon conditions
that have actually improved. Illustrating the
extent to which liquidation is proceeding Mr.
Meyer states that more than $40000000 OF
the first loans made by the corporation has
been repaid. The demand for loans has great
ly lessened during recent weeks, and money
has become easy. Il believe" says Mr.. Myer,
that by the end of the year the country will
have overcome most of the acute stages of
the recent agricultural depression" Though
farmers continue to complain that not much
OF the money loaned by the corporation has
reached them directly, unquestionably the
psychological effect of the corporations oper-
atoms was beneficial Mr.. Myer states that
Tor every dollar loaned effort made to
loan $40 worth of confidence. Whether or
not that effort was successful, the fact that
money was available and was being distrib-
uted was helpful in restoring confidence.
Thus fortified by confidence, the farmers
have begun the work OF the new crop season
hopefully and cheerfuny.

The Candle Light.

How far that little candle throws its beams,
How far, how far!
How down the long, long years there streams
Its golden bart
O little candle, how your flame so bright
Once pierced the cleaning OF the coming
night,
And beckoned home my footsteps with the
light
OF thy small star
Far out along the fading road it shone
When darkness fell
And evenings silence broken by the tone
OF evening bell
Proclaimed the day had passed with all its
care.
Twas then my mother lit its sacred fare,
And set it in the lattced window square,
Bright sentinel.
And oh, the tender call OF that bright flame;
No treasure trove
Could hold me then. | lett my play and came
And ceased to rove;
And when my feet had crossed the thresh-
hold DER
shut out, when I closed the oaken door,
All harm and evil i'll the wide worlds store,
And shut in love.
o little candle, quenched so long ago.
My head is boar,
But in my heart there lives thy afterglow
FOrevermore.
Again could ! but follow thy pale beam
'Twould draw me round the world. and it
would seem
Bright heaven to cross the Threshold in thy
And close again the door.

SO-CALLED REFORM.

Representative Cannon, more fanIiliarly
known as Uncle Joe" is not in sympathy
with advocates of blue laws who today are
trying to create movements that would re-
trct and restrain personal privileges In va
rous directions He is retiring from public
life, but Uncle Joe" still takes an occasional
fling at the reformers Of the rabid type, whose
main purpose in life seems to be the chang
ing of the habits, customs and conduct OF the
American people. "Uncle joe says he believes
the ultra reformers are not so much con-
WINGED that things are wrong as they are OBJ
sessed with the desire to fix things over. For
many years he carried about with him bit
of verse which he frequently read or quoted
to express his understanding of reform in
general 1t is:
I'm thankful that the moon and sun
Are both hung up so high
That no pretentious hand can stretch
And pull them from the sky.
If they were not, | have no doubt
But some reforming ass
Would recommend to take them down
And light the world with gas.
Usually, it is said, that verse was enough
to put the reformers to rout. The principal
strength of it lies in the ridicule it conveys.
Some forty years of public life have taught
Uncle Joe" that a political foe is best dis
armed when attacked in that manner. He
has stood firmly for some reforms, such as
were plainly needed, but he always hated a
muckraker who raked too deeply into the
muck. Hair-brained reformers who had a
penchant for pulling the sun and moon from
the sky to light the world with gas" never
got far with him.
