This does not include schools for
the deaf, or blind, or insane, nom
corrective institutions, amounting to
$4,000. l am here to say that there
is plenty of money used-more than
in any southern state to teach chill
dren-and yet Georgia ranks eX.
tremely low in illiterac 1t is
manifest that better results would be
seen if, there was less waste and
more efficiency. The State College
of Agriculture soaks up millions
and for what?
1t is we'll known that foreign diplo-
matists were busy in America to
carry all the army of the United
States overseas during the World
war. 1t is a matter of record. Also,
1t is known that the United States
was forced to pay the keep of the
American forces over there. We had
to pay to British ship owners the
transportation charges of our troops
who were sent to Europe. We had
to tax the people here to feed and
shelter the boys who came from the
United States, during their service.
We have had to keep troops up
tries in peace.
Now, when our country is filled
with a vast number of men and
women and children who are likely
to ii eeze during the coming winter
and who are unable to secure trans
portation to carry their produce to
market shall our authorities among
US donate the money we loaned to
the allies under such existing con-
ditions? This is maudlin sympathy
gone mad.
I am astonished that this scheme
should have been thus mentioned
and shall be more astonished than
when We concluded to conquer Ger
many by conscripting American boys
to save the governments of England
and Italy and Belgium to the royal
thrones-if the people of this coun-
try submit to such confiscation of
what they should have returned to
them as a property justly their
own. England is going ahead
spending money freely on her enter
prises and is likely to get on close
and intimate terms with Germany
very soon and then we will see what
the whole thing has come to. There
is nothing so easy as the spending
of other peoples money. If the grab
bers can't do anything else they
make business of throwing it
away.
The Torrid, Hot September Weather
Excepting a few days, we had
remarkably pleasant August, 1922,
but September has started in to
show what is possible, when sun,
moon and stars get into a raging
hot temper.
Dry weather is the rule, and as we
have had no drouth this year, we
may get a taste of drouth that will
play the mischief with late corn,
peas and potatoes.
But, as 1 recollect, September gen
orally gets up steam-so to speak
w IlSll IL ~ Ills IllSIl VIC al
apt to jump down early in October,
with a killing frost. In the year
1856 we had a killing frost in late
September. Late peaches were froz-
en- on the trees and we had an ex-
tremely early winter. And also, we
had a very long and very cold Win
ter that year. 1 remember a heavy
snow that did not disappear on the
north side of our buildings for six
weeks, at one time, continuously.
1t appears to me that our seasons
are very unlike the times of sixty,
seventy and eighty years ago. The
winters have been so very mild for
several years that the ground would
no freeze destructive bugs and in
boil weevils have gotten such hold
in the soil.
If this hot September weather
would only "cook" the boil weevils
we might be rejoiced to perspire in
doors, and nearly blister in the out
side to get rid of the pests--for the
entire September.
This burning weather, the high
temperature may create sickness. 1t
is next to impossible to keep cool in
the shade, and keep a fan moving
all the time. But the year is pass
ing quickly along.
The Bonus Bill
The estimated income to the fed
eral treasury for next year from ali
sources is $4,000, 100000 The income
tax is going to scnsibly decrease. If
this decrease is heavy, then we will
fall short of the amount here stated.
Up to April l of the present year.
we have been paying out two billion
dollars in round numbers, for mill
tary and naval family allowance; for
military and naval compensation: in
surance and administration, hospital
service and construction; vocational
training; disposition of remains;
bonus allowance of nearly $250,O00,-
900, and payment to beneficiaries to
