The Scandal Monger.
From the Wavcross Georgian.

Would that we might have law against
gossiping as we have against stealing. AS
Shakespeare SAYS: He who steals my purse
steals trash: but he who robs me OF my good
name robs me of that which enriches him
not, but makes me poor indeed False wit
ness destroys the whole man, body, soul and
spirit This spirit OF gossip is the peculiar
temptation and sin OF otherwise respectable
people
May God seal our lips in the church. in
society and elsewhere, that we may never
saw anything about anybody unless we can
say something kind; that we may never
wound the sensitive spirit nor offend the
tender heart.
1t is an unfortunate fact that every COM
munitv possesses its full quota OF those
threatening menaces OF modern civilization
the scandal monger and gossiper. They
spend their time spreading not the gospel
OF good will toward men," but in bearing
false witness against thtir neighbors, utter
ing wherever they find listening ear some
evil gossip concerning another We do not
feel we are unfair when say that any
community will be better off when these
people pass to their future punishment. If
one cannot say something decent about a
neighbor it is better to remain with sealed
lips. Nothing is gained by promiscuous dis
cussion OF the alleged faults OF another and
too often is the accuser more guilty than the
one accused.

Should Be Swift and Sure.

Five white men suspected Of being the
outlaws who shot and killed Mrs Robert
Stewart, the wife of a minister in HARRISON
county have been arrested and are in Jail.
Mrs. Stewart was brutality shot to death in
her home by supposed bootleggers, it is
thought. because her husband conducting
a vigorous campaign against the sale OF
whisky and aiding in the prosecution OF NO
lators OF the prohibition law This murder OF
a deienseess woman was one Of the most hor-
rible that has stained the good name OF any
state and its perpetrators, whether bootleggers
or not, should be ferreted out and when their
identity is positive the extreme punishment for
such crimes should be swift and sure-the
swifter the better.

A Dead GeneraI-And Our Money.


Not yet has it gone out of fashion for
nation to seek to solve an international ques-
ton by including its own approved solution
in the Preparations to be made for political
assassination. You will remember that the
great war had its excuse in the ASSASSINATION
OF the heir to the old Austro-Hungarlan
throne and the demands which the empire
made on Serbia thereafter Now Great Brit
ain has included in the demands made upon
Egypt as the result of the assassination OF
Mai Gen. Sir Oliver Stack, the solution OF
political problems including that relating to
the occupancy of the Sudan. This is prac-
teal politics. it is the mere taking advant-
age Of a crime to bring about political
change-a change which in nearly every in
stance, as in this one, is based on an eco
nomic dispute.
Back of the difference of opinion relating
to the Sudan seems to be one question Great
Britain wants more cotton produced. Cotton
requires water and the great source OF water
supply in all the area OF the Nile is the Nile
river itself The Nile produces only so much
water and as the Sudan lies upstream, above
Egypt the more water the British use in
their proposed vast increase OF cotton acre
age there the less will be available for
Egypts agriculture. That is very simple.
Now. as more cotton is produced in parts OF
the world outside the cotton belt OF the
United States the less will be the demand,
relatively, from foreign consumers for cotton
produced in the United States. So you can
see what possible effect the assassination OF
an English general in far away north Africa
may have upon, say, the cotton production
OF BullOCh county, Georgia.
The assassination of an Austrian
archduke in little Balkan town sent many
Savannah men to France and cost some Chat
ham county men their lives. And now the
assassination of British general may have
a direct effect in deciding the question OF
whether some day in the future a Bulloch
county farmer may have $500 in his pocket
on a certain day, or say $35045.

Senator George on Georgia.
From the Savannah Press.

Walter F. George, United States senator
from Georgia, in his address at Statesboro
on Wednesday, dealing with the situation i'll
Georgia declared that the greatest need OF
the people OF the state at this time is lead
ership. He deplored the fact that there seem
ed TO be no outstanding figure in state life
about whom the people could rally and over
whom they could enthuse.
The senator's views on this line at once
attracted the attention oil the hundred or
more men to whom ne spoke, and it was evil
dent that his observations had made rath-
er profound impression. The senator said he
believed the man to lead Georgia out of her
lethargy and into progress and activity would
be found before a great while. The people
must keep a lookout for him and prepare to
rallv to his standard when he is found. The
senator seemed hopeful that this leader would
appear before the state had gone much furth-
er along its desultory way, and he bespoke Tor
him the CONFIDENCE OF the. people and an
enthusiastic reception
Senator George declared that the era Of
prosperity now being felt in other sections
OF the country must make its impress upon
Georgia before a great while. States to the
west of us the east of us and north OF us
are showing an awakening in business and
industrial lines that are taking them by rapid
strides beyond the sphere now occupied by
Georgia. This could not be merely matter
OF state lines, the senator announced, but
Georgia must without question, share IN the
prosperity OF her sister cities OF the south and
of the nation The only question left unde-
termined was whether she would be in po-
siton to accept this new era and take full
advantage Of the opportunities it would offer.
Here. he declared must come the real lead
ership of the state so greatly desired. The
man who is to lead Georgia into brighter and
more progressive fields might come from any
sphere of life and from any section OF the
state, the senator said, but when he does
come the people must be prepared to give
full recognition of his ability and follow
where he leads.

Now See Their Error.
From the Atlanta Constitution.

belongs-upon the shoulders OF the party III
power.
Now after the crushing experiences of the
recent election comes a better judgment, and
the democratic senators are proposing to do
what they should have done a year ago
steered their own canoe, and kept clear OF the
LaFollette breakers
1t is better late than never, but it is a
case OF locking the door after the horse has
been stolen
While the democratic senator's are plan
ming some kind of an atonement for their
errors they might look around them, how
ever and find that even now the organized
movement has begun to merge the remnants
OF the party with tn same wildcat sms of
the west that LaFollette stands for, looking
to 1923. 1t can only mean the destruction
OF the party.
1t is hoped that this, too, shall not be
left to atonement rather than to prevention.

told congress was nothing new. That IS that

That's old-fashioned economy, and was as

was then. The elemental facts about death
and taxes don't change much.
