Believe 1t Or
Not

VALDOSTA, Aug. 25.-C. w,
Mcclure, of the advertising depart
ment of the Valdosta Times, of
course believes in advertising, SO he
does this when he goes fishing. One
night recently he was. at Octahat-
chic fishing ana using a phosphoric
or moonlight" bob, he made an
unusual catch.
When he slung this line out into
the night, expecting to land him a
good trout for dinner the next day,
he felt something jerk it before the
bob struck the water. Hauling the
line, he was dumbfounded to find
that the bod while flying through
the air had been caught by a bull
bat and the pesky thing was bang
ing to the hook ard fighting to get
away.

CERTAINLY, 1T is HARD,

The Cordele Dispatch and the
Walton Tribune have been hay
ing pretty hard time of it de-
tending the attitude of tie
present Governor on the tax
question. Brown and Camp are
mighty good champions, but I'M
fortunately Governor Walker
needs more than champions can
give. He needs action. Cobb
County Times.
And in reply to the above.
Charley Brown of the Cordele
Dispatch says in defense of the
Governor:
"Sure-we are having a hard
time of it. Cliff Walker has not
complained. but we think he is
having a harder time of it de-
tending himself than we are in
our fight for him. As for US.
speaking for just one, we've
tried to take the business Of fill
ing the governors office Cor the
best interests of the public as
more than poker table Job. We
have somehow found the place in
that schedule which a governor
ought to try to mmaintain for
moonshine liquor, the affairs of
the masked mob, for cheap che
roots and grafters.

WISCONSIN FARMERS "RUN
MING WILD

Some Wisconsin farmers, pos
sibly inspired by their false prop
bets, LaFollette and Johnson.
have given public notice that on
September l they are going to
strike quit selling of the pro
ducts Of their farms unless they
get certain, specified prices for
their hogs and cattle and grains
and vegetables. This is evidence
of farmers running wild" Thus
early it may be predicted, with
assurance of fullfillment, that
their strike, if it actually takes
place, viii be an absolute fail
ure.
The Wisconsin chaps. after
several applications of ice to
their overheated craniums, likely
will recover and decide to use
more of common sense, giving
less attention to their prophets,
whose selfish purposes are evil
dent, and get back in the
traces" pulling for the success
they see is being attained bv
their more sensible fellow farm
ers.-Florida Times-Union.

DESERVES VOTE OF THANKS

The Savannah News says that
the boil weevil has cost the
south a billion and half dollars
in the past five years, basing its
estimate on dependable statistics.
On the contrary, The News be-
ieVes that the boil weevil has
been worth millions of dollars to
the southern farmers by curtail-
ing the production of cotton and
enhancing the price. In all
probability if the weevil had not
infested the cotton belt the farm
ers would now be receiving less
than 10 cents for the staple.
Moreover, the farmers have been
forced to the diyersification of
crops and better methods of Gull
tivation, which has been worth
more millions to those who are
tilling the soil Everything con
sidered this pest, which was
viewed as a curse when it in
vaded the cotton fields of the
south, deserves a vote Of thanks.

TAKE HIM AWAY

TAKE HIM AWAY
Hot weather ] don't 50 nuch mind.
When other folks say, ''Ain't it terrible"
l often remark that I find
The state of the climate quite bearabIe;
The one thing that gets on my nerves F..
And fills Ine with bile and acridity
Is when some wise bozo Observes,
1T isn't the heat--its humidity
Whenever that statement is made
You'd thin., that the bird who presented it
Had done it without any aid,
Had studied it out and invented It'll
Whereas I most firmly believe
This phase in its utter stupidity,
Was whispered by Adam to Eve,
1T isn't the heat, it's humidity"
It's hard, very hard to forgive
The lad who inquiries SIS it hot enough?"
And though we should not let him live,
Of fellows like that we have shot enough,
But-fool-killer, look to your work!
Remove from our midst with rapidly
That guy who remarks with a smirk,
1T isn't the heat, it's humidity"

BUT THERE is ONLY
ONE IN THE FIELD

1t may be too early to see
clearly into the race for the
Democratic presidential nominal
ton, but it is not too early to
see that in George Oscar I'm
derwood of Alabama has an easy
lead over the field. He was the
favorite of the delegates from
this state at the Baltimore con-
vention in 1912 and probably
would have been their favorite at
San Francisco in 1920 if he had
been an aggressive candidate for
the nomination. 49, Rome News
