preaching session, only because of
the fact that there are so many
other highly important subjects
which / am going to have to COW
er.
Il expect to go rather earnestly
and strongly into the recommen-
dation that a state constabulary be
created, and it my judgment that
should be done at once. There are
daily increasing reasons why the
governor of the state should be
clothed with some power to carry
out the mandate of the law which
puts upon him, in his oath of Of
fee, the enforcement of the laws
of Georgia, and yet gives him alb
solutely no power to enforce them.
Il have lately given that sub
ject much thought and though |
was opposed to the plan of a state
constabulary when | came into
office, l have completely changed
my mind and look upon it now as
essential. Furthermore, | am con-
WINGED the governor should be Civ
en- supervisory authority over
not only the sheriffs of the state,
but that this supervisory authori-
ity should extend even to the

GOV. GILCHRIST ON
THE TAXING SYSTEM.

Former Governor Albert w.
Gilchrist, of Florida, who has con-
siderable property interests in this
state down in Ware county, just
over the line, Florida line, has his
own ideas about the taxing sys-
ten now in operation in this state,
and on a recent visit to Atlanta
made some interesting comments
on this question which will be up
permost at the summer session of
the legislature next month. 1t was
by reason of his taxable property
in Georgia that Mr.. Gilchrist felt
authorized to interest himself in
Georgia lawmaking.
"a fair tax on stocks, bonds,
securities, and money in bank, will
bring this property onto the tax
books and relieve real estate from
carrying the entire burden"
Governor Gilchrist declared. "No
man really wants to be a tax dod-
ger, but as long as the rate on in
visible is confscatory, they will
remain invisible to the tax asses
sor. The next step after a CLASH
fcation tax, is to separate the
county and state taxing system"

An enjoyable occasion Of the com
mencement season at the Third Dis
trict Agricultural and Mechanical
college was the banquet rendered
last evening by the members Of the
faculty to the graduating class. A
delightful menu was served, which
with the toasts and witticisms of
the occasion, made merry hours that
neither students nor faculty will
soon forget.
The infant son of Mr. and Mrs.
James c. Dixon, aged ten months,
died Tuesday night at their residence
on Brooklyn Heights. The little one
was i'll two weeks, and the bereaved
parents have the sympathy of many
friends in the loss of their treasured
one.

ANOTHER NEW ENGLAND
MILL WILL COME. SOUTH

Recently one of the greatest
textile engineering companies in
America declared in a report of
survey Of industrial possibilities
of the South that here in this state
Is distinctly the most nearly ideal
location for textile industries in
America. Significance is given the
report by the following dispatch
OF recent date from Boston:
Boston, complying with orders
received from the owners this
morning, the officials of the War
ner division of the international
Cotton Mills served notice upon
their employees this morning that
the plant would be permanently
closed during the early part Of the
coming week. Lockwood Greene
and Company are the owners of
the mills and through their local
management authorized this state
ment.
The mills will run until the pres
ent supply of cotton is used up.
then will close and not reopen I'M
der any circumstances, saws the
statement. I'VE have decided that
yarnfor automobile tires such as Is
made here cannot possibly be
manufactured in the north at a
profit and the company is now
seeking an immediate location in
the state of Georgia where our
entire interests will be moved"
said officials.
The Warner mills are the Oldest
and largest of the cotton plants
in this city and the sudden closing
announcement caused a mild SEN
satlon. Nearly two thousand hands
VIII be thrown out of employment.
Now, if the Warner mills are
coming to Georgia it seems to us
that right here in Sumter county
Is the ideal spot. The Times-Re-
corder has always contended that
the place for these mills is in the
heart of the cotton fields where
transportation of the raw mater
ial is eliminated.
We have no doubt that MANY
a housewife right here in Americas
is paying double fancy prices for
dress goods made from cotton
raised right here in Sumter upon
which exhorbitant freight was
charged and another tax on the
finished product back to Americas.
All this double expense could be
eliminated if we had one or two
good mills located for instance at
Souther Field.
1t would be greatly to the profit
Of the mills to move into this sec
ton where there is no labor trou-
bles.

FORECASTING THE

The last official message of
retiring overnor Thomas W. Hard
wick will be a most important

words tells what he is going to saw
he would have the executive Civ

PRESS AGENT
DIRT" FARMER.

1t has not been so very long ago
that great cry was going up Tor
the appointment of a real honest
to-goodness dirt" farmer to the
position then vacant on the FEEDER
al Reserve Board and in little or
no time the administration press
agent announced to a waiting
world such a man had been found
and that President Harding had
about decided to appoint him to
this important post.
And what is more, the president
did do that very thing, and the
appointment was heralded all over
the country with a great flourish
as showing what the president was
doing for the farmer.
But the sad story is that after
the new man had served only one
week he suddenly dropped dead
not while working but while play
ing golf. Now we do not want to
say anything unkind about the
dead, it seems to US it is a most
singular commentary that after
the country had had such hard
time getting what it thought was a
dirt" farmer on the board, he
proved to be a golfer. Certainly
no real dirt" farmer can be a
golfer; the ideas are inconsistent.
Golf is all right and many excel
lent people play that ancient game,
but a farmer has graduated well
out of the dirt" class when he
takes to golf,

The Preacher.

Simmie was the next to the young
est in the family of six. They were
all very active, venturesome children
and each of them could give good
account of himself In Arm language
except Eimmie.
To begin with he was slightly
smaller than his place in the line
would call for, In fact he stood at the
end when. of course, he should nave
stood aext.
Then, too, his front teeth were shed
very early and took their good time
about renewing themselves. By ma
ture slow and scant of speech, this
detection of his teeth made matters
worse. When he did essay a remark
it was smothered in this" and the
gigles of the rest.
Like all slow folks, he was slow TO
anger but when once aroused quite
as slow to subside. IN his inarticulate
fury he laid round him with what
ever lay to his hand and the group
of his tormentors had to fly for cover.
But that was part OF the fun. a. spice
of danger lent Zest to the fun OF
teasing preacher"
why that nickname only the in
stinctive cruelty of children can ex-
plain. If there was anything he hat
ed it was preaching. If there was
blance of it was preaching. To call
him Preacher was the last and dead
liest insult. Yet that name clung like
a Ieech, Throughout the village Sim
mic was known as Preacher.
The first day of school gathered
the child population in the small
place and with common accord they
