The Tobacco Crop

A great deal is being written
regarding Georgias successful
tobacco crop. Reports are com
ing from many sections of its
exceeding profitableness. Many
sections which have not hereto
fore raised tobacco, are said to
be getting ready to plant this
crop next year.
The farmer should 5e very
careful in plunging into a new
money crop. Almost invaria-
bly, he meets disappointment
and sometimes disaster. It's the
same old story of placing all our
eggs in one basket.
If Sumter county farmers de-
eide to take a shot at the new
money crop, by all means go
slow. Plant a few acres only,
then if there is an over-produc-
ton the loss to the individual
farmer will not be heavy.
Our farmers know how to
produce cotton. 1t is our safest
money crop, ideally adapted to
our soil and climate. We must
not allow these tobacco reports,
many of them reckless and incor-
rect to stampede us.
There's vast difference be-
tween wise diversification and
recklessly jumping into a crop
that has produced phenomenal
profits for a year or two.
Raise a little tobacco if you
desire. but don't plunge.

PAY YOUR DEBTS.

lndic9tions are that within
the next three months more
money will be placed in circula-
ton in this section than has
been travelling through business
channels in three years or more
1t has been so long since the
people have had any money to
spend that they may be tempted
to cut loose and elbow bit"
Let's not yield to this tempta-
ton. Let's pay our bills first.
This money which comes into
our possession isn't our own as
long as we owe anything-it be-
longs to the men who extended
us credit in times Of need. They
should receive first considera-
tlop and all debts should be
wiped out first. After we have
paid all that we owe will be
time enough to begin spending.
The creditors have been an.
usually lenient the past few
years. II is true that there was
not anything else for them 10
do. They have waited a long
time for their money and they
deserve first consideration. As
you sell your tobacco, cotton and
other crops, see to it that those
who have extended YOU credit
get their money first. After
You have wiped the slate clean
win be time enough to start
spending.
The advice in the foregoing
paragraph to those who have
farm crops to sell, also applies 10
the business and professional men
of Quitman. AS the farmers pay
their bills, you win get money
See to it that YOU pay your bills
first. The merchants and pro.
fessional men need to go on
debt paying campaign just as

Figures Running Wild

In speaking of the possible
income from Georgias tobacco
crop, the Brunswick News is
quoted by the Waycross Jour
nal as saying;
as there any reason why some
of this $7,000,000,000, 100000
(seven trillion dollar) crop should
not be produced in Glynn coun-
ty?"
A few days ago, one of the
Atlanta papers stated that
Georgia S 30,000,000 pound to-
bacco crop would bring $780,
600.
National debts, German
marks and the estimated num-
bei of pounds Of tobacco have
caused our figures 10 run wild.
Before the World War we some
times spoke in millions. After
our run-in with Bill the Kaiser,
we changed to billions, and
along came Georgia S tobacco

the realm OF trillions.

WON THEM AL OVER.

John w. Davis has made
great impression by his speech
of acceptance. We knew ne
would. He is a great man, and
has touched a sore spot in the
Republican party.
Mr.. Davis has been very fortu-
nate. He has lined up Mayor
Hylan of New York, who hest
tated after the nomination and
affirmed that he was going
through a period of "watchful
waiting" However, Mayor Hy-
Ian has read Mr.. Davis address
and has been won over. He speaks
like a good Democrat, and viii
support the Democratic nominee
for President, of course.
Then there is Hon. James A.
Reed of Missouri. He, too, has
been reading the sentiments de-
livered with so much force at
Clarksburg. He sees no reason,
he says, why he should not sup
port the Democratic ticket, State
and national, in Missouri.
This is encouraging. Of course.

OUTDOORS

Doctors, who run the great
Health Industry, quite naturally
would hope to find city children
averaging healthier than rural
youngsters. There are many ways
of measuring health ana physical
fitness. And possibly the M. d. an,
consciously uses the yardstick thai
shows the best results.
Common sense is superior to in
vestigations and statistics. And
common sense tells you that the
country is a far healthier environ
ment than the city, despite the lat
ter's advantages in the way of phys
cal training and corrective medical
aid. You can prove anything with

MARRIAGE LICENSE Bill.

One bill that was passed by the
legislature and will become a law
is that notice Of application for
marriage licenses be posted at the
court house for five days before
the license is issued. Of course
this does not apply in cases where
the parents or guardians of the
bride-to-be give their consent.
This action on the part Of the
legislature will serve to prevent
hasty marriages and may, there
fore, lessen the work Of the
courts in divorce cases. It is fire.
quently true that young people
marry in haste only to repent at
leisure, or apply to the courts for
legal separation with the privi-
lege of remarrying. 1t sometimes
happens that these persons have
already made their arrangements
to marry again, and are only
waiting for the courts 20 act 50
that they can reenter the state
of matrimony.
The law as it appears to Us
will not work hardship upon
anybody, and we believe it will
be good thing. Both marriage
and divorce are too easy Of ac-
complishment in most of the
states.-Columbus Enquirer Sun.

TAXATION TAKEs PROPERTY

That any state should conf
scate all farm lands and make
tenants of the occupants would
seem unbelievable. But the pro-
cass is under way, and at present
rate Of progress will be accom-
plished within the lifetime of the
present generation.
DR.. r. T. Ely, of University of
Wisconsin, shows, by official tax
records of state, and also figures
compiled by bureau of economies
Of Department of Agriculture,
that the states will soon absorb
by taxation all income of farm
lands.
It is a principle of law that
to take the income from property
is practically the same as to take
the property itself.
In Ohio farm lands between
1880 and 1920 increased in value
from $45.97 to $113.17 an acre,
while taves from 1913-1921 in.
creased III per cent. In Kan
sas value increased from S1O.98
in 1880 to $62.30 in 1920, and
taxes 271 per cent from 1913
to 1921.
Since 1920, land values have
decreased at an average of 20
per cent. Taxes on the other
hand, have shown the opposite
tendency. A statistical chart Of
taxes and farm income would
show the line for taxes steadily
curying upward in past eight
years, and now near to line of
farm income. When it crosses
that line the work of confiscation
is complete.
THE power to tax is the pow
ed to destroy. "-Valdosta Times.
