Stop This Numbering Of
the Innocent

Almost daily there appears
in the press an account of some
innocent man, woman or child
having been shot by prohibition
enforcement agents.
Last week a young girl and
her brother received the full
load Of buckshot from the gun
of one of these over-zealous of
hcers. The two. children were
riding along a country road.
Two men stepped out COM
manded them to stop. Natural
", they suspected highwaymen
and stepped on the gas. One
of the officers fired, and both
children were wounded.
Monday morning two promi-
nent Atlanta men were shot on
the roads Of South Carolina by
prohibition agents and now are
in Greenville hospital. The
party had stopped for water
when two automobiles ran up.
A man jumped out and ordered
the Atlanta party to hands
up" Thinking they were be-
ing held up by highwaymen,
a member Of the party reach
ed for his gun. A pistol battle
ensued in which two of the At
lanta party were wounded.
The public highways are in
tested with auto bandits. high
waymen seeking to pilfer the
motorist. Every one driving

THE SUN susPENDs

The failure of the Valdosta
Sun, a new newspaper recently
launched at Valdosta which
costs somebody around $4,000,
is another good sign of the fact
that two newspapers cannot live
in a city Of less than $4,000 peo-
pie, and it would be hard job
in city so small. Why is it
that business men cannot learn
this fact is one of the things we
fail to understand. What hap
pened in Valdosta will happen in
any other town of that size
where the futile effort is made
to operate two newspapers

Waco Lady," a hen at Waco,
Texas is reported to have pro-
duced 154 eggs in 154 days. She
failed to lay an egg 10 days,
but made up the loss by laying
two eggs on Is other days. This
is "belieyed" to have broken the

need to be made with the prod

tiyes.
Miss Matte Sue Taylor will leave
today for Albany to be the fair
guest of relatives and friends dur
ing several days.
The Americas market is fairly
well supplied with peaches and
cantaloupes this week, but prices arc
still little steep on peaches when
quality is considered. The first
cantaloupes from local farms are in
market this week and are unusually
fine. Mr.. Elton Parker, The largest
grower here, has made several con
siderable shipments to distant mark
cts. His cantaloupes are as fine as
can be produced.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dudley Gatewood
and children who have been in Wash
ington and Baltimore and Norfolk
during two weeks, will return here
today.

THE BEST PLACE 10 LIVE

Georgia is without question the
best place in the world to live.
People leave for other states and
then, when they can, most of
them come back. Georgia has
its drawbacks, and no place is
real heaven, but Georgia comes
nearer to it than any other spot
on the globe. Georgia climate
has vidently been adjusted by an
all-wise Creator to make it tao
garden spot of the world. -Daw-

One of the most delightful occa-
sions of the season was the musical
given by Dr. and Mrs. D. B. Minis,

and instrumental music was render

Americas warehousemen here are

within the next thirty days. Cotton
is now selling for $50 per bale lower
than the highest price prevailing
during last season.

DREAM

An airship flight around the world
was planned by a Belgian named
Robertson in 1904. He was a flicr,
quite a star for his day. Which
isn't saying much, for the balloon
had only been invented 81 years be-
fore. Robertson proposed circling
the globe with a fish-shaped balloon
$50 feet long. He never made the
"trip, of course, but he did explcre
the air to height OF over four miles
above ground.
Visionary dream,2 scoffed CAPT
Italists he asked to finance his round-
|the-world flight. Today the thing is
being done. Nothing is impossible,
given enough time.

THOSE WHO DO NOT STOP
AND LOOK ARE THE VICTIMS

1t is a dull day for disaster
news when no crossing crash re
port is found in the daily papers.
Generally several such disasters
are reported, and doubtless others
occur that do not find their way
into print. The strange part of
such accidents is that the people
who meet death in them must
have read of such disasters and
must have realized that the most
dangerous place on any highway
is where it crosses railway tracks.
Yet with the memory of many
crossing crashes in their minds,
people will drive automobiles
across railway tracks without TAX
ing note of an approaching train.

Bankers call this an economic
