Washington, Wilkes County

IN the special Marathon" edition of the
! Washington News-Reporter, Wilkes
county adds another treasure to far-shin-
ing annals. Forty-eight pages of crisp writ
ing and pleasing pictures tell the story of
people as rich in present enterprise as in
their heritage from brave yesterdays.
century and a half ago it was that their
Virginia forbears kindled on an adyentureful
Georgia frontier the first home-fires of
community meant for rare renown. From
that far day to this there has been no de-
in which Wilkes county has not played
goodly part Alike to the winning of Amer
lean independence and to the World war for
freedom she gave unsparingy of her treas
ure and heroically of her youth; while from
the Had of the Confederacy none bore home
a brighter. though a broken, lance.
Washington and Wilkes county do not
rest however on laurels from of old. They
face rising sun, and value the past for its
heart-kindling power to the present. This
special edition of the News-Reporter is large
ly portrayal of what now is being projected
and now achieved, and of what is offered the
good American, whencesoever he may hail
on two hundred and eighty thousand fallow
acres of opportunity. 1t is not alone fertile
soil and delightful climate that are offered,
not alone good roads, convenient markets
and abundant gifts of nature, but also edu-
cational advantages in keeping with long
generations of culture, and civic spirit un-
law is witnessed by the fact that never in all
it's history has lynching occurred within its
borders 1.-The equal and exact justice that
has been administered in its courts" says the
News-Reporter sis proverbia, and is pointed
to as controlling reason why mob violence
has never been resorted to that the law

similar violations of rights of the individual
citizen, chronicled in the daily press in the
north east, south and west, are unheard of
occurrences here and would find no degree
of liberation by the people of the county,
who are content that its destiny be worked
out by its splendid churches, its efficient
system of schools, urban and rural and reg
ularly and lawfully constituted courts
Georgia is heartily proud of this spirit, of
these traditions, of these achievements, and
of the city and county embodying them.
Such was the vision of the commonwealth S
inspired founders, and such the faith of her
true citizens today. The Journal warmly con-
graduates the News-Reporter upon piece of
Journalism as useful as it is brilliant, and
upon a community whom it is delight and
an honor to serve.

According to eminent English writer of

decades ago who wrote and illustrated
charming garden books. She was a Mrs.

anxious to include sketch of the "Waterloo
Beeches" at Strathfeldsaye, a clump of trees
onsthe Duke of Wellington's estate planted in
common Grafton of the downfall of the Cor

ARE SUICIDES ALWAYS INsANEo

A nei2hbor has been telling me today Of
d man of force in his calling who has been
energetic and successful, until few months
past, who seemed perfectly we'll as to his
body, but who was depressed by financial
losses who went to bed night before last at
o'clock and was found dead at or 10
the same evening. The neighbor was inn
pressed that the worry of mind had unbal-
anced the brain and the suicide had decided
to "shuffe off this mortal COLI and go hence.
In winding up the recital of facts he asked
the question, do sane people ever kill them
seilves?" Both of us INDUCED the same
opinion, that mental alteration was always
present on such occasions.
But we do not know. 1t is one OF the
unexpected mysteries. The delicate mech
anism of the brain may be easily disarranged
and a cot on the brain was reported to be the
cause of the late President Harding's sud-
den demise. In the twinkling of an eye his
life went out like fash and he was in no
sense a suicide, or afflicted with insanity
Something like this might have carried OFT

had conceived the idea of self-destruct1on
Is it not fact that tiny obstruction IN
the brain, or a drop-stitch in heart beat,
can be as quickly fatal as a bullet through
either brain or heart?

All this means much more than appears
on the surface. Like fathers like sons!
and what it will end with Heaven only
knows it. 1t is bad enough to be frivolous,
but to- be constitutionally silly is real bad
business for such old stagers as the leglsla-
ture in exposing their weakness. That they
loathe economy has long been apparent;
and by their work do we know them. l saw
them vote themselves a holiday last week,
regardless of the fact that the taxpayers are
not eager to pay their bills in frolics of this
sort under existing circumstances.
The aforetime fortunes of Georgia people
were absolutely conserved by economy and
saving. True it is they were not as careful
as might be. with tipping. but they did
propose to act like grown-up people, espe-
cially in public company. AS the years roll
on, the people of the United States are be-
coming more appreciative of former Presi-

good common sense and a proper under
standing of what contributes to the making
of good citizenship in a republic. There was
foolishness in his makeup. He is a
wholesome example of self-made man, who
had no leanings to silly spending or gor-
geous frivolity as all official. He was cor
rect in his formula for good citizenship, in
dustry allied with honesty. Unless the Unit

MAKING SEVERAL GRADES

DEALERS ASSN. INSISTS

There is n big movement going on
among tire dealers everywhere to In
luce the tire manufacturers to aban-
don the common practice of making
tires OF several qualities. The Ma.
tional Tire Dealers association has
just issued a bulletin urging all its
members to bring the utmost pos
sible pressure to bear on tire manu-
f~acturers to stamp out what the deal
ers regard Is n serious evil.
The practice of making several
grades OF tires has become so bad that
one manufacturer now makes four
different grades Of fabric tires in the
Ford SIZE. not to mention his cord
tires. And a number of others make
three grades of fabrics.
a cheap tire never pays anyone.

that is reduced quality-and in the
