The Golden Corn of Georgia
From the Dalton Citizen.


According to the Empire State, issued by
the Georgia Railway and Power Company
the 1922 corn crop of Georgia will amount
to 57725000 bushels. The information is
based on hte report of the United States
Department of Agriculture.
Corn is selling at a minimum OF
eighty-three cents bushel, thus making the
1922 crop worth $49911 $50 and, concludes

Cotton can be raised proitably in spite of
the boil weevil, but it takes a lot of pains
taking care, and if farmer doesn't want
to take it he should cut out cotton and grow
something else.

The creameries of the state are crying aloud

A DIsTURBER OF PEACE.

New York Times Mr.. Gompers now
joins other labor leaders in nsinuating that
railroad equipment has so deteriorated, ow-
ing to the strike, that the lives Of both
trainmen and passengers are daily endan-
gered. He makes no pretense of knowing
what are the facts He simply says that
there are many Statements" charging de
plorabe condition" On that basis alone he
passes along what evidently no better
than rumors-but rumors transparently de-
signed to alarm the public. To suppose that
railway managers would at this, juncture
send out engines or cars which they knew
to be in such bad order as to be perilous IS
to suppose that they are incredibly stupid
as we'll as unutterab1y wicked The truth
moreover, is easily ascertanable. There are
reports which the railroads are compelled
by law to make public. There is official in
spection of locomotives. Let the facts be
made known by all means; but till they are
established and in hand let any man who
wantonly tries to brighten railway passengers
be regarded as a dsturber of the public
peace-at least, the peace of mind.

AN UNFORTUNATE INSTITUTION.

Kansas City Star: Helen of Troy was
not more talked about than are the young
girls of this age who are made to regard
themselves as Aappers. They have not I'M
naturally come to feel that it is necessary
for them to talk and act and dress the part.
Girlhood is denied them. AS soon as they
are out of the nursery the world calls them
Aappers and begins its interminable COM
ment on their dress, their conversation, their
social habits and the thoughts that are sup
posed to be in their heads. Thus has the
happer come to be a social institution and
to mean any girl and any woman OF almost
any age who dresses near enough to the
prevailing modes to escape ConsplCuOusness.
It's an unfortunate institution in some ways,
for it has given to quite young girls a very
exaggerated notion of its importance, and
of their own. Actually, the universe is not
standing still to contemplate them. 1t may
not seem so to the fapper, but in reality the
world has one or two things on its mind.
1t flaps a good deal itself in various ways,
both nosily and foolishly and doesn't always
talk and act as it should but young girls
should not be misled by these antics Like
some other fappers it's older than it acts.
If young girls wouldn't mind its talk so
much it might mind its own business after
a while, and then they'd have their girl
hood back and get a lot more OF real en-
oyment out Of it than they are getting now.
1t must be painful to have to pose all the
time and have to do and say things they
are supposed to do and say as fappers when
they'd rather be girls if only the world
wasn't looking.

Saturday Evening.
From the Waycross Journal.


AT the close of busy week the mind
and heart turns to thoughts OF Peace The
morrow will bring from every pulpit in the
city some part of the lesson to be learned
from the life of the Prince of Peace When
the heart is roweled with emotions conceived
in the matrix of industrial strife, when the
mind is heavy-laden with thoughts OF the
future no haven offers calm and quiet equal
to that afforded in the shelter OF the prom
ises of Him who lived OH earth that Love
might reign in every heart. Prince OF Peace
he is because he never compromised with
evil Just as with singing whips he drove
the money changers from the temple so must
His disciples know that Peace will never
come till Right prevails. He who winks at
evil for fear strife will come sows the seeds
of future trouble There was no compromise
with the money changers. When the Prince
of Peace entered the temple the sources of
discord were forced out. And so this Satur-
day evening will be an evening to be re-
membered through all the weeks to come if
it but teaches us that peace comes through the
triumph of right. The Prince of Peace comes
with comforting touch to the hearts and
minds OF all who stand foursquare for Right
for the Spirit OF Christ made manifest in
daily living. This is the way OF Peace

SOMETHING NEW, INDEED.

From the Sylvester Local.
The Dawson News has discovered some
thing new under the sun. 1t has discovered
a man running for office who has no advice
to offer the farmers. OF him the Dawson

he promises never to "advise the farmers to
hold cotton or sell, or when to plant peanuts
as a substitute for cotton, nor tell them how
they can get rich growing alfalfa hay"

For many years Albany had less fractional
politics and fewer political contests, perhaps
than any city in the state. In the last two
or three years, however, that peaceful record
has been blasted, and Albany is torn by
strife and rancor that has seldom been equaled
in bitterness. Just now contest for repre-
sentative and the referendum OF some local
legislation are the causes OF the row. Politics
such as our neighbor is experiencing does
a town or community much harm. Daw-
