TIFTON'S SUCCESS.

sion-city manager plan Of govern
ment proved in Tifton-the same
plan it is proposed to install in Amer
ieus-that the Triton Gazette has
come forward with the suggestion
that the same plan might profitably
be applied to the county. We have
no doubt that the suggestion will be
given most serious consideration by
the people of Tiff county because
they have seen the plan in operation
and experienced the fact that it has
paid big financial dividends in mon
ey saved the taxpayers and in in
creased efficiency of governmental
functioning.
But it should be borne in mind that
the vast majority of the people of
Triton have contributed to making
the plan the success it has been by
looking upon the plan sympathetical.
ly and attempting to do their part to
make 1t success, rather than by
holding back in the preaching and
doing their best, by whatever means
lair or foul, to defeat its adoption
first, then cripple its operation after
It's adoption, as has been done in
some places and as it is apparent
some forces are attempting to do
here as the movement for a change
T gets under way.
The Moultrie Observer discusses
the city-manager movement sanely
IN recent issue. 1t says:
The city manager plan is gain
ing ground in Georgia. In Triton
they have tried it successfully.
Quitman is now operating under
the new plan. Columbus has it
IN operation, and in Augusta they
are to vote on making a change.
There are many other towns and
cities in the state that have tried
out the management of the CITY
affairs by one man rather than bv
committees named from the city
council.
Much depends on getting the
right man of course.
A good manager for any business
is hard to get.
The advantage of the citv man.
ager plan IS that it putsresponsibili-
ty ON one man. 1t places the au-
thority where the public can To-
cate it and deal with it. Under
the ordinary plan Of running mu-
inequalities you have so many to
deal with that it is difficult to get
action. There. is no one with suf-
flclent authority to act quickly or
IN an emergency. There is no one
to think and to plan for the city as
whole. Each worker is just car
rylng a part of the responsibility
A city is not run as an ordinary
business.
You cannot get the service that
you get from corporations. The
place where we are entitled to the
best service We generally get the
poorest service, and this is due to
the lack Of correlation and eff
cheney more than to the absence
of ability and willingness to give
service.
People are demanding the quick
est and best service now. They
demand it Of stores, public service
corporations and all Cities must
be in position to give that service
that modern business is giving
Maybe the manager plan is a
reaching out for this service.

tain fundamental lf features that are

s One Of the most important Of these
is that taxpayers shall not pay q cent

the interest rate charged will be jus,
enough higher than that paid on bonds

the rate for stopping at a station, with
out taking the car from the train was

stop charge to $3.50 effective July l.
The association considered even this
rate too high and renewal of the pro-

HOLIDAY BUYING

The first call for holiday buying
has been sounded. Those who post
pone action will have cause to regret
the delay There will never be bet
ter time than today for buying Christ
mas and holiday and winter stuff
The stores are stocked up with lot
of fine goods. They are all fresh, as
sortments are full. they have not been
picked over. Prices will probably be
no lower.
Later when the stores are crowded
with BUYERS. it will he hard to get
the attention of the salespeople. They
can not stop and talk with you about
goods. when they have several Gus
TONER'S to wait upon at one time.
The tendency of people to crowd
into stores during the two weeks pre-
ceiling Christmas is an absurd habit.
It makes the distribution Of goods
cost more. because many stores have
to nut on extra help at that time TO
take care of the rush. If the trade
cOn1d he distributed over six weeks
instead of two. sales EXPENSE would
he lower and goods would cost less.
Iata buying Of Christmas gifts Is a
hardship for store clerks. postal and

According to the story told police, a

WHY NOT STOP DEER
HUNTING A FEW YEARS?

The law restricting carrying loaded
guns in the woods five days before
the deer season opens does not apply
after the season closes, or any other
time, except the five days specified.
This law was made to give all parties
hunting deer fair chance.
Trappers should avoid setting traps
for fur near beaver dams or musk-rat
houses. In case trapper gets a
beaver or muskrat in his trap and it is
dead when he visits his trap he should
skin in out and notify the game war
den. He will get into trouble if he is
found with unlawful hides in his
possession or if he tries to sell them.
In our opinion it would be good
thing to have the deer season closed
and encourage hunters to come and
hunt wolves, foxes and wildcats next
fall and stay as long as the sport
amuses them. The wolves and wild
cats are plentiful and there are more
foxes than we need. BOunties on
wolves should be raised.
Getting wildcats should be made to
pay well enough so that the boys
would 60 out after them. There is
good money in trapping and hunting
ur-bearing animals in Northern Wis
consin if one knows how to do it and
will keep busy at it.

dence," says Representative Keller, in
a written statement. Experienced
prosecutors have declared that in
many cases the evidence is sufficient
to proceed to trial without further in
vestigation. Mr.. Daugherty himself
more than year ago officially stated
that he was in possession of evidence
sufficient to establish criminal con-
spiracy in case involving millions of
dollars. Attorney General Daugher-
ty has not yet presented this case to
a grand jury or instituted civil suit
for the recovery of stolen money.
From time to time Mr. Daugherty
has widely proclaimed his intention
to take action against the war graft
ers, but whenever public Indignation
has fared up because of his inaction,
he has attempted to cool it off with
more promises"

CABBAGE AND CLOVER SEED

Cabbage has advanced $500 per
ton and clover seed has raised in price
from 5 to 10 cents per pound in the
last two weeks. Glover seed is fair
crop in the clover belt but there is
little of it anywhere else. 1t is apt
to be high in price in the spring and
those who need clover seed will make
no mistake in buying it now.
Fred LaBerge bought two hundred
pounds of clover seed a couple of
weeks ago and it would cost him
$13 more for the lot on today's mar
ket.

get him to function in the courts

Evidence is Accommodating

BY Dr. Charles W. Eliot, President
Emeritus Harvard University
Evidence has accumulated On every
hand that prohibition has promoted
public health, public happiness and in
dustrial efficiency. This evidence
comes from manufacturers, physi-
clans, nurses of all sorts, school, fac
tory, hospital and district, and from
social workers of many races and re-
ligions laboring only in a great va
riety of fields. This testimony also
demonstrates beyond a doubt that pro-
hibition is actually sapping the ter
rible force of disease, poverty, crime
and vice. These results are obtained
in spite of the imperfect enforcement,
in some communities, of the Eighteenth
to the Federal COnstitu-
ton.
