UNIFORM COUNTY
MANAGEMENT LAW.

With the idea of obtaining
better business methods in the
management of county affairs
and getting more, results per
dollar of taxation, the Georgia
Manufacturers Association is
advocating the adoption of the
uniform county manager form
Of government, which law was
enacted at the 1922 session Of
the Georgia legislature, the
author being State Senator
Robert C. Ellis, of Triton,
Georgia.
The law provides that any
county in Georgia NAV have a
county manager form of gov
eminent on majority vote Of
the qualified voters of the coun-
ty, and that at any time after
two years trial it may be abol-
ished on like decision of the
people and the former law of
the county automatically re-
stored.
The county manager form of
government is composed of a
board of five commissioners
elected by the county at large
with a business manager APP
pointed by the board and placed
in charge of all the business af-
fairs of the county under the
supervision of the board Of com
missioners. The county mana
ger is not a member of the
board but is elected for a term
of two years.
THE counties of Georgia
have become great business con-
Germs, spending tens of thou
sands Of dollars and in some
cases hundreds of thousands of
dollars of the tax payers money
every year, it is pointed out by
John w. Yopp, secretary of
the Georgia Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION, A consideraBl sum
of money could be saved the
taxpayers, Mr.. Yopp contends,
by employing the same business
principles in the management
of county affairs as in the man
agement of business corpora
tions.
'The county manager form,
does not change the Georgia
county commissioners law or in
any way interfere with the au-
thority of the commissioners,
except to assist them in putting
modern business methods, eff
fciency and economy, into the
management of business matt
ters in the county," said Mr..
Yopp.

WISDOM COMETH FROM
MOUTH OF A BABE.

Here is wisdom, oh We poets
and essayists and fiction writ
ers! Here is wisdom from the
mouth of babe. May we, in
our own craft lay it to heart.
Miss Levine, who edits the
Boys and Girls Post of Chica-
go. has exhibited a poem in
three stanzas as contributed by
one of her young readers, to
which the author appends the fol
lowing postscript;
There is much more to write,
but it spoils the poem"
Blessed infant, who taught
thee this golden art, this secret
which many never learn though
they live to be bent and gray in
the service Of letters?
You are too young yet to
know how many a poem and
essay and book, how many an
editorial has been spoiled by
the needless word, the padded
line, the uninspired elaboration.
But if you will cherish this
secret, live by it in the realm
of intellect and Imagination,
write by it in the JOY of ex-
preston and creation, you may
yet earn the glad praise of cri-
ties who know better than they
can perform.

WHERE THE RAILROAD
AGENT CAN HELP.

WttEkE ne RAlANOAD
AGENT CAN HELP.
The increasing exodus of
negroes to northern points is
getting to be alarming, and
there is no discounting the fact
that both industrial leaders
and agriculturists in Georgia
say that the south, as well as
the country as a whole, is faced
with a shortage of labor, due
principally to the federal laws re-
stricting immigration.
1t is declared that there is a
great abundance of labor on the
other side of the water that
would be glad to come over and
develop the South's desources.
1t has been said that of the
seventy thousand negroes who
have left Georgia in the past
five years and these included
many of the best class we have
had in Georgia.
1t occurs to the Times-Recor-
der that in checking this flow
of laborers and bringing labor
agents to justice, railroad
agents could greatly assist the
constituted county authorities
in advising at once, by wire if
necessary when one Of these ia
Dor men buys tickets at small
stations in any quantity for ne
groes leaving any section, and
IN this way these offenders
might be brought to Justice,
otherwise there seems to be no
hope.
The agent of the Central Of
Georgia Railway at Dawson re-
ports to the local newspaper,
The News, that since October
LIST 1923 negroes have left that
point alone. Of course this
does not include those going
from other towns close around
here like Leesburg, Bronwood
and Smithville. The agent lists
those leaving to be: Boston,
Mass, 1 ; Columbus, o., %; Chi
cago, ILL.,, 8; Chester, Pa, 10;
Cincinnati, Ohio, 4; Cleveland,
Ohio, 8; Detroit, Mich, 5;
Elizabeth, N. j., 8; Hartford,
Conn, 8; Jacksonville, F.a.,
A; Jonhstown, Pa, z; Newark
N. j., As; New York, 5; Or
lando, Fla, SO; Philadelphia,
Pa, 81; Pittsburg, Pa, 8; San
Francisco, Cal, 4; Springfield,
Mass, 1; Toledo, Ohio, 2;
Youngstown, Ohio, 2; Trenton,
N, j., 8.
1t is no secret that just about
twice week, in the small hours
of the night, trains going
north are loaded with these ne
groes and usually they get
aboard the train at some way sta
ton with tickets furnished them
by someone who insists on vio-
lating the immigration laws of
Georgia.
1t would be a fine thing if the
railroads would cooperate in
this matter, at least to the point
furnishing certain information
IN ADVANCE. It is no concern
of anybody if these negroes
go away from the state of their
own accord. There is no law to
but We do insist that labor
prevent them from doing so,
agents coming into the south
enticing labor from the farm
err who in many cases has
advanced money to the point of
putting his dependence on the
negro to help him with his
crops, must stop.

ROUTING
By BERTON BRALEY

by bERiON bNALE1
Howeer existence may vary,
However exciting the game,
Two-thirds4of our itinerary
Is always exactly the same.
The stay-at-home chap or the rover,
The worker with spade or with pen,
Is constantly doing things over,
Then-doing them over again.
Our sleeping, our working, our eating
Conform to daily routine,
They're things that we can't help repeating
If we would remain on the scene;
The lawyer, the artist, the drover,
All kinds and conditions of men,
Keep doing things over and over,
Then doing them over again.
We're all in a rut and can't change it,
Except in moderate way,
We live as the Fates may arrange it,
And, day after day after day,
All over the world, clear from Dover
To-any place which you may ken,
We go on, until it's all over!
Just doing things over again.

Professor Gottheil said that Palestine

ian colonies, he continued and this
was the first definite return of the
Jewish people to agricultural pursuits
for more than 1000 years. Prof.
Gottheil is little inaccurate. There

me should be avoided. 1t can serve no
useful purpose, at least, none that

and to some extent justified reproach Of

America and will more constantly crop
up in the future If these unnecessary,

II there be a differentiation In Jew
isl practice or in the ritunl, that is
another matter, but surely, the main
strnins of the Ashkenazim and Sc
phardim are sufficient to indicate TINT.
See what it brings at times. 1 noticed,
for example, that subsequent to April
1917, a good many people who thought
1t was rather badge of distinction to
be known as German Jews were not so
terribly proud of the qualifying adjec-
tive and were willing to get rid of ii
even ut the expense of changing their
family names.
The whole attempt TO differentiate
Jews in America by their country of
origin seems to be futile and useless.
IT has no warrant in Judaism.
Manners
There is another understanding
which / think is needed and that is
an understanding of Derech Eretz-
good manners. There are Jews among
us, considerable in number and most
estimable, who have abandoned many
of the traditions and practices of Juda
