result of a fight in street in front

There's No Fool Like
An Old Fool

The funniest thing in history
is how a pretty woman made a
fool of Aristotle, the ancient
Greek philosopher, in his old
age.
His job was tutor and guard
ian of Alexander the Great,
who conquered the world and
died when he was AZ.
Lovely woman was Alexan-
der's weakness. He had paus-
ed in his career to worship at
the shrine of an adventures.
Chided by Aristotle, Alexan-
der mockingly said:
Signing, alone he cried as inly
moved;
'AIasI These men. me seems,
have never loved.
The philosopher won out,
however. Alexander Tilted his
sweetheart. She managed to
get to him. learned why her low
ei had abandoned her. Burning
for revenge, she set her traps.
Details are somewhat lacking
as 10 what followed. But il

beauty's feet, his wisdom auas

she would become the old man s
darling, he must crafty her
craving to mount and ride the
back of the Yisest man in the
world.
Alexander, watching, soon
saw her strap a saddle on Arts
totles' back, fasten reins to him,
mount and ride about the i'm
perial gardens, Aristotle on all
fours as he numbered along with
his precious burden.
When a white-haired philos-
opher made such a fool of him
self, one doesn't wonder at the
old boys of our generation
whose affections and fancies
get them on page one of the
newspapers.
Aristotle, when he realized
how he had been duped. admit

REGULATING AUTocRACY.

REPUDlA ING AUlOCKACI.
At meeting of the state demo
cratic executive committee the
rules adopted for the September
primary and the subsequent state
convention placed the party IN
Georgia back into the house of the
fathers, and indicated, by I'M
animous action, the position Of
The Constitution in opposition to
the wholly undemocratic rules
adopted in January to govern the
presidential primary of April, and
its subsequent convention.
The rules adopted in January
placed exclusively in the hands
of the successful candidate, or
his agents, the naming of the dele
gates to the convention from all
the counties, including those car
ried by unsuccessful candidates,
and without necessary reference
to or consultation with the coun-
ty committees in the respective
counties, or even the friends and
supporters of the successful car
didates in the various counties.
How this rule was subsequently
employed, by which local voice
in the selection of delegates was
completely ignored, and county
autonomy, which is the basic prin
ciple of representative democracy
was abrogated by the secret mani
pulations Of a small group in AT
lanta, is now political history.
1t is satisfaction enough 20
know that the state committee, in
so short a time-even earlier
than The Constitution had dared
to hope saw and recognized
the error it had made and com
pletely repaired it, without pro.
test or a dissenting vote.

Pensions and the Bonus

We heartily regret the action
of the Democrats in passing the
bonus bill. From the first we
have felt it to be a mistaken
piece of sentiment-or political
trickery--as you will.
The bill is now a law, but we
fear we are are not yet finish
ed with the soldiers bonus or
pension.
Only the first appropriation
has been made. Others will be
demanded. 1t has been the
case with every pension meas
ure ever passed by State or
Nation. Next year or the year
after, there will be new class
es' to be added. Millions
more will be piled on the bill
lions already spent.

our Democratic delegation has
gone wrong in the bonus-all

Grafton in legislation. There will
be a day when good government
will need what is going to be
thrown to waste in this political
raid on the public treasury.
There win be a day when the dis
abled and needy of this national

because of it-and the able
bodied soldier will mock and
sneer at this commercial, politi-
cal, monetary Interpretation of
loyalty, of patriotism-the sor-
riest swing backward, down

high and noble ideal, great ma
tional devotion to a cause that
has ever been possible in the
minds as such men as compose
the American Congress of this
day and hour! A dollar day-a
political estimate of the value Of
the loyalty of an American sol
der in such cause as that which
sent them to France! Not while
we know ourselves shall we call
it worthy-how we wish it had
not been done!
Our strongest objection to
soldiers bonus and pensions is
that they tend to pauperize.
The politician sees vote
getter in giving away money and
he meets every demand-at the
expense of the people. The
recipient is never satisfied. He
demands more and more as
the days pass--and he usually
gets it.

their wives and widows is
greater today than ever before,

lo. COO PROFIT IRON Owe FARM

A Burke county farmer is said
to have made a profit of ten
thousand dollars last year on Il
farm of less than four hundred
acres. His success is attributed
to the fact that he rotates his
crops and plows under green
crops on a portion of his land
each year for fertilizing pur-
poses, thus putting humus into
the soil so necessary for plant
life. He gets good dividends ia
the increased production of cot
ton, corn and small grain. If all
farmers would follow his example
Georgia would become one of the
most prosperous agricultural
states in the Union. He beats

WHO BLOCKED TAX REDoC'
TON

Would you hire a doctor to Tx
an automobile? Would you hire
cook to arrange the financing OIL
a new hotel? No, you would no'.
Then why is every congress-
man and every senator supposed
to be capable of figuring out
better tax plan for financing our
national government than are the
experts in the United States treas
urv who are responsible for
sound financial policy for this ma
ton?
Men not capable of financing
a corner grocery store feel more
fully qualified to inflict upon
the public their ideas of running
a six or seven billion dollar an
nual government budget than do
the experts in the treasury de-
partment.
The people have been crying
for tax reduction, but instead OF
giving it to them our rag-chew-
ing politicians in congress have
been fighting to figure out some
plan that would override the very
business-like proposal of the
secretary Of the treasury and his
assistants, which would have lop-
ped over $SO0,OOO,O0O off the tax
bill for 1928 if it had been adopt
ed.
Politics may be all right as
long as it confines itself to poll
ticial matters, but it is curse to
nation when it dips into bust
ness pure and simple, and should
not be a vote getting vehicle for
republican or democratic politi-
clans.

How Much Cotton to
the Plow?

How many acres of cotton
to the pillow can be safely plant
ed: Some say 10, others IS.
Colquitt county advises FIVE oil
six. The editor of the Albany
Herald answers the question in
the following editorial:
There comes to the Herald
detter from prominent gentle
man in the business life of
a Southwest Georgia town who
makes an inquiry which suggests
that others may be interested
even as he is He was not writ
ing for publication and there
fore we are not printing his let
ter, but this, in substance, is his
query:
''The average farmer knows
that he must pillow after each
rain, as soon as the ground is
sufficiently dry. The cotton
has also so to be hoed. In
order to do this, and also poi
son cotton regularly and thor
oughly as is now being urged
upon every farmer who can
be reached with the appeal,
how many acres of cotton can
a man, his wife and one
child, on small one-horse
farm, take care of, and at the
same time cultivate sufficient
land to feed the farmer, his
family and his stock?"
There can perhaps be no bet
ter answer to the question than
to recall the "Colquitt county
PLAN for a one-horse farm
adopted last fall, after the COM
pleteness of the boil weevil's
work of destruction in the cot
ton fields of this section was APP
parent. That plan represented
the best thought and experience
of farmers, bankers, merchants
and others vitality interested in
agricultural prosperity, and it
was subsequently adopted in a
number of other counties.
The Colquitt county plan pro-
vided for mot exceeding five or
six acres of cotton" for it was
realized that for one-horse
farmer to plant more would
mean his failure to cultivate it
ON the intensive plan proved to
be essential to success.
Far better that too few acres
be planted to each pillow and
hand than too many.
Discussing this question with
usN recently, DR.. ]. c. Names
said his only uneasiness with
regard to Sumter county was
that we had too much cotton
for the amount of labor and
plows.
When asked what he woulc
advise, he said:
Pillow us some of it, by al
means; pillow it up and PLAN
corn or other feedstuff. That
the only way to beat the wee
vii. Plant what you can easily
care for and put the rest of tbs
land in something else. There
will be more cotton from tht
decreased acreage than from
the maximum.
After all, the answer to tn,
question of how many acres t.
the plow, is an individual one
one that each farmer must ans
wer for himself.
