Only three performances remain in
which patrons Of the Lyric may enjoin

gram at the Lyric for the first half of

comedy playlet with a real dramatic
punch. The special feature brings on
more matchmaking mimicry. Sam
Adams and j. p. Griffith put it on, and
they call it "a Music Lesson" Round

Rose. 1.-THE Jumping Jacks" and
Charles F. Semon, 1.-THE Narrer Teller"

cult. and the Lyric will take part in it.

In May, 1922, had the pleasure
of purchasing the first Jewett tour
ing car that came to Pocatello, and
although this car has been driven
only II, 900 miles, have not found a
defect in the workmanship or ma
terial. Its performance has been
entirely satisfactory, and l have
found it to be very economical in the
consumption of gasoline and OIL
Also; the finish, or painting, has
been very durable, considering the
three seasons of service, and to date

| wish to say further, that the
mileage made does not represent a
general light usage of the car in the
immediate vicinity of Pocatello, but
that it has been used on several ex-
tensive journeys.

NOW LET'S HAVE UNITY

Now that the fracas is over
and neither Mr.. Underwood nor
Mr. McAdoo was nominated, the
opportunity is large and adequate
for all Georgians to get together
again and be fricnds-charitablc,
reasonable and good-spiritcd.
Both fought especially hard, and
went to what may now seem I'M
necessary extremes in loyalty and
contest for their respective can
didates. That was only natural.
Georgians fight that way; it is
their political nature.
But we Georgians are as a rule
a reasonable and kindly folk. Al
ter the last blow is struck in
fight and the decision is render
ed, we see no earthly reason why
we should not fall back on the
old and saving American sense
of humor and laugh about tie
whole business. We can shake
hands and chat awhile before
we plunge into another fracas
and scratch each others nose.
But in the end, all of us who are
the leas, bit thoughtful come to
realize that we Of this State are
working for common goal -
the welfare of Georgia, and the
most of US for the best interests
of the Democratic Party.-Macon

enormous peach crop. Demand
as high a price as so cents for
peaches and they not only will
refuse to pay it, but it will cause
a disgust in their hearts for the
industry that is responsible,
whether intentionally or not. In
stead of~eating MORE peaches,
they will eat fewer. That's
plain human nature.
The industry, unlike many
others, is confined to a com
paratively few planters, and as
a rule these are men of the
highest mental ability. Once
these men get together, pull to-
gether and stay together, they
will solve this 1924 tragedy.
The cars to haul the crop are
available; there's plenty of ice;
every packing shed is manned
with sufficient labor, but there's
no market.
Where is the trouble?
Evidently something is radi-
caly wrong with the marketing
end of the peach business. Find
that and you'll locate the major
trouble with the industry today,

RIENNIAL. SESSIONS.


Biennial sessions of the Geor-
gia Legislature are very much
closer at hand than many people
suppose. 1t is somewhat surprls-
ing to find the sentiment in the
General Assembly for four
year term for Governor and bien
NAL sessions of the Legislature.
If the change should come about
it would mean probably that the
time of the meeting Of the Legi-
stature would be changed from
summer to winter. The argu-
ment for winter assem5lages Is
that the necessity for the farmer
staying on his farm in the fall or
in the early winter is not pressing
now as it was when Georgia was
an all cotton State. Crops like
tobacco, peaches and watermelons
are grown and out Of he way
sold in the open markets at just
about the time the Legislature
convenes now. For this reason
the opposition of the farming
class to winter sessions has just
about yanished.-Savannah Press
The people of Georgia are more
deeply interested in four-year
term for the Governor and bien-
NAL sessions of the Legislature
than they are in the change in
the date when the lawmakers as
semble. To do this would seem to
require no very complicated pro
cess, and is wen worthy of the
concentrated attention of the
General Assembly.-Macon News
1t is much easier to find fault
than it is to make constructive
criticism. Accordingly in taking
the easiest course, one invariably
takes the easiest subject to at
tack This, at the present, is
politics. There is too much poll
ties in Georgia. Politics is I'm

fumes are in a brass foundry
The brass and the repre- sentative
government are good, durable

It's the First False
Step That Counts

He was good and straight and
respected for 40 years, and
then
Arthur w. Kent, old and
broken, was taken to the jail at
Ann Arbor, Michigan.
He had been schoolmaster,
teacher of history, leader Of
Sunday school class, general
helper and adviser to young
ideas. Now he is at the end of
things, for, in brief two years,
he wrecked lifetime of honor.
Wife became sick. His salary
never had been large, as seems
the sad lot of the school teacher,
and grave need faced him, He
fell.
A bogus check was passed. 1t
did not save the wife and it de-
stroyed him. His conscience
pricked and he fled from his
crime, fled from himself. Into
the far places of the country he
sped, always with the hand Of
the law reaching for him.
But he wrote other worthless
checks-it was easy to defraud
but they only relieved the
body but not the soul. His
flight became more desperate.
Always, always, the law was
but a few steps behind him.
II never knew happiness in
those two years of flight" he
says. 81 never knew what it
was to live blssfully or sleep
soundly. Always fearing, always
fleeing"
Now the law has caught him
caught him, an old, broken,
helpless wreck, body and soul.
i have learned the lesson |
have taught so many of my stu
dents" he tearfully says. ''Edu-
cation is nothing without moral
stability"
Yes, he has learned the truth
too late for himself, but in time
to point moral for others.
Education is not all. Char
acter must be its companion,
for brains that know not the
leash Of morality only make
crime more hideous,
Poor, wrecked, old Kent
knows this now and the best he
can do with what is left of him
is to offer himself as a terrible
example.
It's the first false step that
counts most Impress that

Selecting Your
Associates

Whether man or boy, select
your associates with the great
est care. You never see the crow
travelling with wild ducks. To
get a fellows number" check
up on his associates = those
whom he selects as his friends.
Birds of a feather will flock to-
gether.
In judging a man by his as
sociates, though remember that
you are likely to be fooled by
the attraction of opposites.
For instance, a puny lad is
likely to cling in the vicinity of
robust, athletic boys. They rep
resent what he yearns to be
strong. He admits conscious
ness of his weakness by his grav-
itation to the physically strong,
A boy or man Of superior
mentality always has flock of
satellites of inferior brain pow
er. They cluster around him
because he represents the intel
ligence they d like to have.
And the superior brain gloats
over this attraction. Its vanity
is pleased by this admission of
inferiority by others. So much
so, that keen intelligence toll
crates considerable boredom of
stupidity, just to have followers.
But there is little attraction
of opposites" except in matters
of strength and mentality. You
rarely find such attraction where
character is involved. The man
who seeks the companionship of
rakes, scoundrels or crooks is
usually a rake, scoundrel, or
crook at heart.
Association changes all who
are involved. The fine brain,
associating with mediocrity to
satisfy its vanity by contrast,
goes to seed-deteriorates. As
ISOLATION with equal or superior
mentality is pleasing to vanity,
but it brings improvement.
The inferior improves by as
ISOLATION with the superior,
same as the superior is pulled
down nearer the level of in
feriority. The two forces tend
to approach each other-strike
a medium.
Many a neat, clearly woman
or man becomes careless or even
slovenly by association with a
careless or slovenly mate.
The stronger personality dom
mates. 1t pulls the weaker up or
down toward its level. But in
the pulling it inevitably slips
more or less to the level of the
inferior.

quires caution, 90 "a

Where Does the
Trouble Lie?

From every peach orchard in
Georgia there goes truck after
truck of the most delicious fruit
fruit that is the finest, and
most delicious-bound for the
creeks, swamps, gullies and hog

\ At the same time peaches are
Being retailed in some Of the
large cities at prices that are
ridiculously high. An Americas
{ grocer said Thursday he was re-
liably informed that in New
York peaches were being retail
ed at 80 cents a basket-$4.80
a crate, and yet because of the
existing market conditions pack
ing sheds are shutting down. 1t
is said that some will not reopen
to pack Elbertss.
That there's an over-produc-
ton, there is no doubt. The
overlapping seasons have glut-
ted many markets, but there is
a greater consumption possibili-
ty than is being realized now.
If peaches are being sold as
high as so cents a basket, as we
are informed, there's no doubt
that some one has a strangle-
hold somewhere. The very fact
that the fruit is being sold at so
high a price proves that.
