THE WAY TO FARM PROS
PFRITY

The outlook for bumper crops
in Floyd and other Northwest
Georgia counties is a most en-
couraging circumstance. We have
gone through several lean years
and it is about time for the
farmers to fill their pockets.
Those who have been hsening
to the common sense advise of
agricultural agents have learned
that it pays to follow the methods
of science in farming There is
nothing new in these methods
The are simply old truths in new
dress. Many farmers who have
prospered for years by raising
sufficient food and feed stuffs
for use on their farms have dem
onstrated that that is the way to
farm profitably.-Rome Tribune.

WHITE HOUSE INCENSE

Every President, as we'll a.

flattcrers, whether desiring such
contact or not. The art of burr-
ing sweet incense before the great

Shakespeare relates Of julius
Caesar that when told that he
hated flatterers, he said that he
did, "being then most flattered."
There is an amusing passage on
this subject in the letters, now be-
ing published, Of the late ;Archj-
bald w. Butt, military aide to
President Roosevelt. Captain
Butt was loyal to his chief, but he
had d sense of humor as we'll as
capacity for shrewd observation.
and in confidential letter writ
ten in 1912 he found this to say:
'This (Roosevelt) Administra-
ton has developed two factors
heretofore Unclassified. The
Kitchen Cabinets have given place
to the Tennis Cabinets and to the
Incense Swingers. Every now and

The Alienists

Those who have followed daily
daily so-called expert testimony
from the alienists appearing in
the Loeb-Leopold murder trial
in progress at Chicago, have had
a clear demonstration of the
value of such opinion.
The published statements Of
these fellows remind us of an
advertisement we saw years ago,
which read as follows:
POSITION WANTED - BY
man of intelligence; convincing
speaker and writer; would be a
valuable assistant to any lawyer,
CONGRESSMAN or public speaker, as
/ can write brilliant argument
, on either side of any question.
The professional or expert
alienists seems to be willing to
make his finding fit the desire of
his employer.
At Chicago, as in other cases
where mental experts" have
appeared, their testimony is
mere twaddle, weak and foolish,
and too brazenly prejudiced to
be even considered by an intel
ligent judge or jury.
In the hands Of a bunch of
these experts any crazy man
could be proven sane or a sane
man railroaded to a padded cell.
Their employment is legal
and may be ethical, but it
doesn't seem to be honest. The
value of such expert testimony"
is doubtful.

IF This Be Treason

Margaret Sangster said her
greatest ambition or desire was
that she might live long, provid-
ed she could grow old grace
fully" And what delight and
benediction it is to watch
those grow old gracefully who
have passed over the top of the
hill and are vending their way
down.
And by the same token, how
disappointing, how sad it is to
see others embittered and sour,
approaching their last resting
place with hatred and malice
lingering in their hearts.
Recently the Boston camp Of
the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie bitterly denounced the Stone
Mountain memorial as a monu-
ment to treason" Another
camp Of those old soldiers who
bore the Blue, by resolution, OPP
posed the issuance of a United
States coin bearing a replica of
the Stone Mountain Memorial
carving.
Such acts as these do not re-
fleet credit upon those response
bic. 1t is too late now to waive
the bloody shirt. Throughout
the Southland there are Gene
teries containing thousands of
Federal dead, with great monu-
ments topping every knoll.
These sacred cities of the dead
are alphabetically watched
oyer by those who utter the rebel
yell. Why should the Yankee
soldier be less charitable than
the Southern Rebel"
Commenting on the action of
the Boston camp, the Savan-
nah Press says;
There are some things which
never die. That strange little
known thing that is the human
heart and soul will allow its faith,
its hope and its charity to- die,
but its hatreds live on until it's
house of clay is dust again.
There is no hatred so strong as
that towards one who has been
wronged That is a psychological
truth; what is called ''inferiority
complex usually enters into it.
IF you would hate your enemy,
first do him a wrong" is an old
saying and a true one.
The Boston camp Of the Grand
Army Of the Republic has bitter
ly denounced the Stone Noun
tain memorial as a monument
to treason" These old men, with
the gladiator "peath" waiting
calmly in the shadows of the
arena, bow their heads to Caesar
and chant their song of hate. The
burden of it is that that South
land which they had hoped to
destroy is still vigorous and alive;
its factories are humn.ing and its
fields are green. There are
greater monuments than can be
carved upon stone; the South is
the real America, true to itself,
its ideals and its tradition; the
real traitors to America are those
who have attempted through gen
erations to break the real heart
our country,
The Stone Mountain memo
rial is one of mans greatest
achievements. He who design
ed and is carrying on the work
came to Georgia from Massa-
chusetts. Many contributions
have come from those residing
north of the Mason and Dixon
line.
When completed, the monu-
ment will be second to no monu-
ment ever wrought by the
hands of men. Tourists from
the other side of the globe will
visit it and marvel at it's gran
deur and beauty. If its construc-
ton be treason, then make the
most of it.
