CONDENSARY TO OPEN

The people of Clio and vicinity will
learn with much pleasure that the
big whistle on the condensary will
again be heard on Monday morning,
April II, next, when the plant will
resume operations. The enforced
idleness of the plant for the past few
months has been as trying to Mana
ger Thos. r. Petrie and the owners of
the factory as it has been to the pat
rons and everyone will fervently hope
that there may be no more shut
downs. This will probably be the
case as the Creamery Co. is con-
templating some new lines of manu-
facture which will obviate such a
necessity.

}ON'T MISCONSTRUE MR..
l0CKEFELLER'S STATEMENT

The statement of Mr.. John d.
Rockefeller, Jr., that "as a mat
ter of general policy, subject on
ly to the demands of occasional
emergency, modern industry is JUS
titled in accepting the 8-hour days
and the 6-day week, as a labor
standard" should not be construed
as applicable to the agricultural
industry, especially in the South
2rn states. There is no evidence to
how that MI, Rockefeller, al
hough a large employer of labor,
has any accurate knowledge re-
gardlng problems that confront
farmers in the operation Of their
business.
Upon the agricultural independ-
ence and prosperity of the nation
depends the future of the coun-
Try. Wherever agriculture has de-
clined or been ruined by the migra-
ton OF vast numbers of rural peo-
pie to the cities the country has
gone to ruin. The South and es-
pecially South Georgia is depend
'nt absolutely upon agriculture
for its sustained prosperity, and
the cultivation of cotton is the
backbone of industry in this sec
ton.
Hence, men of ssch prominence
IN the industrial life of the nation
as Mr.. Rockefeller should weigh
well their words before giving ut
I tefance to such dangerous senti-

BunVanis Nose.

The eftigy of John Bunyan has for
several years lain on his tomb in q
London graveyard quite noseless-a
fact which has distressed hundreds of
pilgrims who have come to pay him
homage. His nose had either been ac-
cidentally broken off, or, more prob
able. stolen by some souvenir hunter
But now, thanks to the good offices Of
the Baptist and Congregational
unions, Bunyan's ill-used efiigy is
once more presentable. The only diff
ficuIty was that no one seemed to be
quite certain of the exact shape of
Bunyan's nose, and the stonemason
had to depend on the advice of anti
auarians and an old print.

GUYTON. FISHER LEAVES
LEGACY HERE.

After four years as pastor of
Americas First Methodist church,
Rev. Guyton Fisher left Saturday
for his new home in Douglas. The
voice of his church has been heard
by this able minister, and he goes
to his new field of labor filled with
the spirit of optimism and help
fulness that made him a dominant
and outstanding factor in the civic
and religious life of Americas. He
will carry with him the good wishes
Of a host of friends; friends who
sustained and assisted him in his
work, and who now turn toward
aiding Rev John E. Cutler, who
succeeds Mr.. Fisher as pastor of
the congregation.
Guyton Fisher leaves in Ameri-
Gus many things one cannot carry
as one moves from place to place
on this earth. He leaves four years
of unselfish and constructive eff
fort for the upbu5ding of his
church and this community; ne
leaves his impress upon a congre-
cation that numbers among its
members many of Americus' most
prominent people-strong men and
good woman, all of whom have re-
cclved inspiration from the life of
Guyton Fisher-many of whom
love him for his work, and none
Of whom will soon erase his name
from the pages of pleasant
memory,

You like straight streets that metaed and paved

And easy to map and trace.
They lead from home to your daily job
And back to your home again,
Broad streets smooth by humdrum mob
Of patiently plodding

But like streets that queer and quaint,
That lead-weI, know not where;
That dwinde at length o a trail that's faint,
Where the wandering pilgrims fare.
You like the streets where you can't get lost,
I'm fond of them where l cam
The wavering amless roads, Embossed
By the practical paving man."
You like the streets that from to end
Are old and familiar ways,

Till lost in the distant haze;
SO keep your street that is straight and fine,
A carefully measured track
And I'll light-heartedy follow mine,
All over the world and back!

seven What he fails to recog-
nize in the industry of farming is
the necessity for almost continuous
activity during long hours in cot
ton fields where at certain seasons
the loss of a single day or even
few hours may spell disaster for
the grower.
The long seasons of comparative
inactivity, and the variety of work
to be done furnish, it is evident,
sufficient recreation in the sense
that Mr.. Rockefeller sees the nee
essity for rest among workers. 1t
would seem, therefore, a wholly
unwarranted misconstruction of
his words, in view of these facts,
to assume that a shorter work-day
is even to be considered in the
operation of farms.

ment as is expressed in his state
ment quoted above. The late
Theodore Roosevelt, one of Amer
Ica's keenest students of national
problems, prophesied before his
death, during the midst of the
war, that the agricultural problem
would be one of the great issues
with which this nation must Crap
pie in the future. Roosevelt said
that all nations go to pieces when
their agriculture goes to pieces,
and that lack of prosperity among
cultivators Of the soil leads to alb
sentee ownership of farm land and
to tenant-faremrs replacing farm
er owners.
g If the whole nation does not pro
tect its agriculture" Roosevelt
said then, 'those who cultivate the
land will in the end act together
in a group for self-inerest, and
group action of any kind is dam
ger to American ideals and the
soandness of the American political
system"
Agriculture is an industry sep
arate and apart from any other
industry in the nation. This fact
is recognized by Mr.. Rockefeller in
his statement when he says "even
IN those industries where the con-
tlnuous process is an inevitable
feature, the routine should be so
adjusted that the employees can
