Why They Came Back.

While many newspapers and politicians, for
political reasons, claim defeat OF the khan IN
the nominations in Texas and Oklahoma there
also may be other reasons. This paper has
regarded the nomination Of Mrs. Ferguson as
the democratic candidate for governor OF
Texas as a more or less sentimental reaction
resulting from the loyalty OF Mrs. Ferguson
to her husband who had been impeached by
political enemies. 1t has taken much the
same view of former Governor Walton's sue
cessful candidacy for the democratic nomi-
nation for the United States senatorship in
Oklahoma Two remarkable personalities en-
tered into these political equations, account
ing largely for their ability to come back"
But personalities do not turn the trick un-
aided The American people ultimately see
political questions from all sides, and when
they do frequently discern errors in judg-
ment previously pronounced. There is no po-
litical question in which there are not too
elements-right and wrong. When it does SO
appear the people are honest enough to re-
verse themselves, and they do what they can
TO right the wrongs they themselves did. Men
do not come back wholly through their own
efforts-not in politics.
There are other issues far more vital to the
well-being of the American people than con-
troversies over religious racial differences.
Questions which affect the prosperity OF the
nation and the individual should not be OBJ
scured and ignored as undue emphasis IS
placed upon these issues. If ii remains it will
only be TO the detriment Of good government.

The South's Great Possibilities.

From the Tupelo, Miss, Journal Review.
The Industrial Index, OF Columbus, Ga.
has the following to say of the south
The south has in its very nature the
essence of industrial and agricultural
greatness. 1t has marked and peculiar
natural advantages that are part of its
very fibre. Nature, circumstance and the
genius OF its people destine the south
land to be one of the most wonderful re-
gions in the world.
There has never been time in the his
tory OF the country when the industrial OPP
portunities of the south were more under OBJ
servation than at the present time. The in
PRODUCTION of hydro-electriC power means the
lessening OF the cost OF production and this
means that we can get in competition with
New England III manufacturing on a basis
all in our favor. The raw material is right at
our door-freight rates are high and can be
saved two Ways-and when we have mas
tered the art little better we will stand
supreme in the industrial field without a
competitor
The southeast is the last great section
of America to be developed Splendid
progress is being made in utilizing its re
sources. Truly magnificent are its poten-
tialities A wonder section, and fortunate
indeed are those who are privileged to
take part in the great work of develop
ment.
All sections OF the south have been neg
lected, but the time has arrived when we
are coming into our own. Every advantage
lies in our favor and only little education
which is slowly coming will lit us out of the
ruts in which we have been plodding behind
We're in a zone which will soon be developed
into an industrial beehive, and great enter
prises which have sought locations in the
north and east will come south.

A hot air artist with a we'll prepared line
OF talk came into our town not long ago
and went from house to house selling ladies'
silk hosiery.
Look, madam" he would say, to get the
prospects interest: "Will an ordinary pair OF
hose stand this?" Then he would proceed to
run the point OF blunt nail file along the
fabric to show that the stocking would not
tear or run. A few more such strikes and
the sale was made.
After a few days he departed and left be-
hind a lot OF ordinary merchandise sold at
more than its value And with him he took
hundreds OF dollars worth OF business that
should have gone to local merchants.
This is not the only incident OF this kind
that has come to the attention OF the editor
Each week sees business going out OF the
community because our people, like people
everywhere are hypnotized by sales talks that
have been prepared by experts IN the art OF
iooling the public.
Our advice to the people OF this city is
to think Just moment before placing an or
der with one OF these fellows. Ask yourself
the following questions, and then be govern
ed by your own judgment:
Am likely to get better deal from this
total stranger than from one OF our local
merchants who will be here next week and
next wear. and must back up what he says
about his goods:
"Win l profit by letting our own stores
run. down for want OF patronage? Is it to
my interest to have good stores with COM
pletc stocks here in Dallas2
Does the stranger pay my taxes in Dal-
las to keep up our schools, our churches, our
public works and make the town what it iS?'
When you think these things over you
have only this answer for the buncombe spe-
calst:
Nc. sir, | am not interested. | find that
can do better by dealing with merchants
here in Dallas

Bunk.

This is a good definition of bunk from
the Agricultural Review. 1t is timely one,
too: Bunk is the act of making things ap-
pear in a different light than the true one
1t is used as filler or wrapper for prom
Use that cannot be delivered. Bunk makes
good magnifying glass to hold before the
ewes OF those who have a grievance against
the established order, or who think they
have The truth is not a necessary ingredient
Of bunk, and is frequently dispensed with en-
tirely by dealers in the latter, To charge
political opponent, either an individual or a
party, with responsibility which does not tair-
ly attach is bunk To promise visionary
or impossible remedy for an existing ill is
bunk Bunk is very useful in promoting dis
satisfaction It is fine food for crouch Ali
bis can be made out of it.

Carload Of Vetch Seed.
From the. Madison Madisoniar

The farmers OF Morgan county are not
possessed with that spirit OF optimism that
is not justified by facts and conditions-of
seeing things w hen there is nothing-but they
are possessed with that fine spirit OF hope
and courage and confidence that finds ex-
preston in a wide-awake and thorough-going
farm program that insures wholesome results,
Morgan is one of the few counties in Geor-
gia that will buy car load OF vetch seed to
be distributed in small quantities among its
farmers This not only means an increased
corn yield per acre next year, but for many
years and indefinitely. Not only increased
corn yields per acre but increased yields Of
other crops per acre. 1t is great forward
and far-reaching step towards richer soils,
better crops, more profitable farming and
better conditions in every way.
Rich soils make rich agricultural section
and people OF Morgan county going to
thrive and prosper just as her farming inter
ests prosper, and her farming interests will
prosper in terms OF the yield of her lands
per acre.
The purchase Of a car OF vetch simply
shows the spirit OF force and courage and
determination with which the farmers Of
Morgan county are turning their faces toward
new day in agriculture.

Cussin' Charlie.

The preachers are beginning to take notice
of General Dawes "damns" and protest
against them. Perhaps the generals profanity
is offensive to more than the preachers. There
are good many people in this country who
do not like conversation punctuated with
"damns' and "hells" The Springfield Repub-
lican thinks the clergymens protest should
be given serious consideration by General
Dawes, and it suggests that che should reach
understanding with the reporters about
being quoted" The trouble with such an ar
rangement is that General Dawes profanity
is picturesque and reporters will be reluctant
to omit it. Picturesque as it may be, how
ever, it IS likely to become irritating Gen
eral Dawes will be wise to tone down his
vernacular and remember that he is candi-
date for the second highest Office in the gov
eminent. and that a certain amount OF dignity
will be becoming to him.

Georgia and North Carolina.

"People shouldn't take too seriously the
wild stories we hear about the prosperity OF
/ North Carolina There's another side to It,
It's a great state. all right, and is more pros
porous lust at this time than is Georgia, but
the prosperity that most people talk about IS
that which comes as the result OF the ex-
penditure OF many millions OF dollars OF pub
lie money. There is being saddled on the
people of that state a stupendous debt, says
the Madison Madisonian.
We have heard great deal in the last
wear or two from politicians and individuals
who have schemes they wish to put through
about the wonderful things North Carolina
is doing. They never miss an opportunity to
compare the two states unfavorably to Geor-
gia. The fact is Georgia is far ahead OF
North Carolina in many respects. In the mat
ter of highways, for instance, Georgia has
far outstripped that state. While it is true per-
haps. that in populous and manufacturing sec
tons OF North Carolina there are more paved
roads than we have in Georgia the high
WAYS as a whole cannot be compared to those
OF our own state In the greater part OF
that state, especially in the rural districts the
highways generally are in bad condition and
are frequently impossible, whereas in Geor-
gia there is a splendid system OF sand
clay and top soil roads which are kept in
good condition the year round. making the
markets accessible to the farmers and trav-
cling easy and comfortable for motorists.
The fact is, while some states have greater
mileage of hard surfaced roads than Georgia
there are none, taken as whole, which have
as many miles of good roads.
AS to education, Georgia also far surpasses
North Carolina Last year there was raised
in this state by taxation approximately S20,
100000 for educational purposes, OF which
amount S4,5O0000 was from the state treas
ury In 1921, the last year for which figures
are available, the appropriation in North Car
DINA for education was $3,2S0,68lO6 1t IS
not generally known, but fact nevertheless,
that with the exception of California Geor-
ga appropriates more for education than any
other state in the union.
1t has become very tiresome to hear
some of her citizens compare Georgia to
North Carolina to the detrment of their
own state The comparison is unfair for the
reason that North Carolina is largely man
ufacturing state while Georgia is an agricul-
tural state In few of the thcky settled in
dustrial centers, which are always pointed out
as object lessons to show how far Georgia is
tagging behind North Carolina, they have
many millions of tax values to defray the
cost OF public Improvements, whereas in
agricultural Georgia the tax values OF the
average county are mere pittance in COM
parison,
If Georgia is not greater state than North
Carolina let her detractors produce better
] evidence than mere assertion to prove it.

Paying Bills.
From the Albany Herald.

One of the chief banes OF business-all
business-is the dilatorness and indifference
OF so many people with reference to the pay
ment OF bills. The effect of this indifference
is so widespread that it affects the entire bus
mess community, for ones ability to pay
depends largely upon collections. And so the
failure OF one firm or individual to pay a
bill when it is due or presented passes all
around the business circle like contagion.
Some people are just naturally careless or
Indifferent about the prompt payment Of
bills They put off the payment merely as a
matter OF convenience or when they perhaps
have no valid or real excuse for doing so.
This is one OF the very worst OF business
habits.
And then there are some who just seem
never to pay cheerfully If they pay at all
and still others who will not pay except under
pressure or until made mad
The prompt payment OF bills Is a habit
that should be cultivated not only by bust
ness establishments but by all individuals as
we'll

What and Where Is the Cure?
From the Dalton Citizen.

The Citizen has many times in the past re-
ferred to an ailment that is evidently incur
able, and that is the meddler's itch
There is a class composed OF people who
know more about everybody else's business
than their own. This class is 5hiftless, glib
OF tongue and peddle gossip in reverend
ing stream.
People OF this type bring discomfort to
hundreds of people, but are so thick-skinned
their own failings do NOT seem to strike their
consciences They leak business secrets
from the Offices i'll which they are employed
and discuss on the streets and in public
places matters that should never be men
toned, because they are none of their bust
ness.
Meddling is a despicable trait that affects
people-far too many of them-and in no
case does such conduct make friends or build
up respect We wish there were far less of it
prevalent, but, as stated in the outset it
seems to be an ncurable malady.
One OF the outstanding characteristics Of

periority through fawning sycophancy and

If there is anything more eccentric or
enigmatical than the cotton market 1t hasn't
been discovered. When the government re
ports the crop condition as lower and reduces
its estimate Of production the price goes
down, and vice versa. Cotton has gradually
declined to less than the cost of production,
and there are those who predict the end IS
not yet The farmer is always in the middle
of bad fix When production is small and
he has but little to sell prices are high, and
when the yield is good prices are low. What
is TO be done about it is a problem no one
has yet been able to solve.
