Hartford, Sert 29-NoTv that we are within Q nlenth Of the national and
 state elections. il may De expected that the campaign will develop a
 strenaosity which has not yet been experienced. In fact up to the pres eHt the eampaisuers have been merely Isdrmishing. lt behooves the Repub-
 Hcan managers to keep their ears open for false rum0rs and their eyes
 for false statements. The rumar that cannot be gubstantiated and the ale gation that cannot be supported by facts sho1Id be denied withozt delay. l. is true of political statement as Iit is of everything else that if lie has q good start it is difficult, if not impossible. to overtake il.
 1 Readers of The Patriot will easily recall the incident, which is a historic lone. by which James c. Blaine was de- l feated by Grover Cleveland for the presidency in 1884. IL was an inci- dent that occurred at the close of the campaign and 1t was staged in such a way as to give no opportunity to Mir Blaine to repudiate the famous alliter- ation of the Rev. MT. Burchard. A campaign can be lost by an effective lie uttered at the last moment.
 It Is evident from the statements of Mir. Morris. the Democratic candidate for governor, that it is a rart Of the plan of campaign of the Democrats to stress. state affairs. Mir. Morris ut teraaces. since his nomination, are a direct challenge to the Republicans to make state affairs an important feat ure of the campaign. The Republi- cans should accept the challenge. They can accept it without fear of being worsted. All the Republicans have to do is to cite facts showing the accom- plishments of the Republican party during the ten years in which they have been in control of the affairs Of state. They can afford to leave the exercise of the imagination to their opponents. and trust to the intelligence of the voters of the state to recognize the difference between facts and fic- ton.
 Question of Representation
 Does the talk, which is heard with increasing frequency on the inequality of representation m the house of rep resentatives of the general assembly, indicate a revival of the agitation for an amendment Co the state constitu-  ton which would give the more popu- lous towns a representation in propor- tion to their population3
 IL is just twenty-two years since constitutional convention was held tO revise the constitution and Co provide a system of representation that would be satisfactory response to the de- mand of the reformers. But the con vent on failed. and very completely too Co satisfy the people of the state in the amended constitution which it reported after five months discussion and consideration.
 The new constitution, drafted by the convention. was rejected by the people at the polls by large major lity The question involved is net a roli,icni one, and fl is mistake to | view it from the standpoint of poil- tics. The convention of 1902 was call cd at the request of Governor Me Lean, who was a Republican. II must

should have the support of the state as we nave
everything to gain and nothing to lose by thl:
change. There are two amendments to be voted
on covering this subject, both should be adopted
amendment to group the counties OF Cha
than. Bryan, Liberty, Mcintosh, Glynn and
Camden into the Coastal Highway District
and to authorize the issuance of bonds tor
paving purposes"
Chatham and Glynn counties, being deslrous
of assisting their poorer neighbors, Bryan, Lib
erty, Mcintosh and Camden to jointly bond them
selves for the construction of better highways
thru their territory, the rest of the State should
nave no objection to adopting this amendment
as we will all get the use of these roads without
having to pay for them, if constructed.
amendment to Paragraph 9, Section 4,
Article of the Constitution to provide for BIZ
ennial sessions Of the General Assembly"
Many of the States, who previously had annual
sessions of their legislatures have tried the BIZ
ennal session plan, and not one of them have
rescinded their actions, SO Georgia should try it
out for herself and see how she likes it.
If YOU vote for an amendment, strike out the
sentence beginning with the words against rati-
fcation-" If you strike neither it has no effect
on the final results.

GOOD ADVICE-Go home and get happy Drop
all business for awhile and rest your mind. Stop
nagnfyng your little difficulties. Think Of plea
SAINT things and talk about them to the excl fusion
CT the unpleasant nd the disagreeable When you
go to work have beautiful picture on your desk
and whenever you may be foolish enough to wor-
ry about your affairs, look at it, study it and fill
your mind with it for few minutes. Don't let
pessinlism park in your brain. If you do it will
crush you. The people who succeed best and are
happiest those that give the least Importance
to the ills of life.

Why The South Wants Ford

Though Henry Ford dismisses the
Muscle Shoals bid as past history, the
people of the South still hope to see
him get it. Why? They know how
Ford does things. They know he
would give thousands of men work at
living wages. He would build homes
for the workmen, modern homes with
garden spots. He would sell these to
the workmen on easy payments. He
does this at Dearborn. Then he would
sell fertilizer without dozen middle
mems profits. He had indicated Mus
Gle Shoals as the coming effort of his
life. Would it not be worth seeing ?
Government ownership was once a
good theory, but in practice it has
been the grafters' opportunity Think
of Tea Pot Dome and the Veterans
Bureau and the dollar men of the gov
eminent during the World War.

Children suffering from intestinal wornQs
are cross, restless and unhealthy. There
are other symptoms, however. Ii the
child is pale, has dark rings under the
eyes, bad breath and takes no interest In
play, it is almost a certainty that worms
are eating away its vitality. The surest
remedy for worms is Whites Cream Verml-

Newspapers and the Schools

An eminent director of journalism
in large university says that demo-
cratic government depends upon pub
lie opinion and public opinion today is
mainly taken from the newspapers
The deduction is that if the purpose OF
education is to train the youth of the
nation for citizenship, the study of the
newspaper should have a prominent
place in the public schools. Pupils
should be taught to read the papers
and how to choose the best from them.
News is more important than the
sporting page, the society column or
the funny strip. We should cultivate
news taste and discrimination in that.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS AND
WHAT TO DO WITH THEM-There will be

WHAT TO Do With L HLM-1Hcie VIII ~
eight constitutional amendments to be voted on
at the next (November) general election some
of them are OF general nature, while others are
only of a local nature giving authority to certain
localities to exceed the Institutional (present)
limit as to bonds and other purposes. lhls is an
important privilege for Georgians which should
be carefully guarded and exercised with caution
Amendment to Article 7, Section 2, Para
graph of the Constitution of Georgia to ex-
empt certain manufacturers and industries
from taxation for period not exceeding hve
years"
This amendment should be adopted, as 1t may
he the means of attracting industries to Georgia,
which at this time and under the present law we
arc not in position to compete for, other states
have adopted tax exemption provisions for some
time for similar purposes.
Amendment to Article 2, Section |, Para
graph IA of the Constitution of Georgia in
reference to the consolidation of city and
county government in counties having there
in city with population of $1,000 or over
The amendment allowing city and county gov
ernments to be consolidated, where the county
contains city of more than $1,000 inhabitants
may also be adopted by the voters of the counties
not affected, but the law would really be better if
it allowed the abolition Of county and city gov
ernments, where there would in all probability
be but one good sized town within its borders,
such as Ben Hill, and place the entire county I'M
der one administration. With the adoption of this
amendment and its tryout by the larger cities, we
may some time have the privilege extended to
other counties and cities
10 +ha
the new county of Peach"
All local objections having been met and salts
factorily adjusted, we favor the adoption of this
amendment to create Peach county.
Amendment to authorize the General AS
sembly to consolidate the offices of Tax Re-
ceiver and Tax Collector in the several coun-
ties"
We do not see the value of the amendment
seeking to consolidate the office of tax collector
and tax receiver as provided in this amendment
especially do we object to having the proposed
tax commissioner, which this consolidation would
provide, to be appointed by the member of the
legislature that may be elected from time tc
time in these smaller counties. We do not see thai
in these smaller counties much if any saving II
taxes would be brought about by this change, sc
it may be better to leave the matter as it stands
Amendment to Paragraph l, Section 7,
Article of the Constitution to authorize
the City of Brunswick to incur an indebted
ness up to maximum OF IA per centum of
the assessed value of the taxable property
therein"

wick and Savannah authority to tax its citizens

ADVERTISING VS.. BAD MANAGEMENT

ADVERTISING VS.. BAD MANAGEMENT
The best advertising possible will not help badly
managed business, says the editor of Radio Mer-
chandising There is no substitute for intelligent
and far-sighted executive effort in retail business.
Advertising can not be used in place OF hard work
and well directed effort; but, when added to them,
makes combination irresistible Some business
houses lack many things that material to sue
cess and advertising only turns the llmelight on
such shortcomings and hastens the end. Advertis-
ing should be used to turn attention to the modern,
progressive, well-directed firm with an X-ray
beam that Eliminates its smooth inside workings
and displays its qualities to advantage.

From my point of view he only deserves to be
called progressive who cannot see wrong per-
sist without an effort to redress it, right de-
MED without an effort to protect it; who feels a
deep concern for the economic welfare OF the Uni
ted States but realizes that the making OF better
men and better women is matter greater still
who thinks of every governmental policy first of
all in its bearing upon human rights rather than
upon material things who believes profoundly in
human equality and detests privilege in whatever
form or in whatever disguise, and who finds the
true test of success in the welfare of the many and
not the prosperity and comfort of the few."-John

The fruit growers and shippers are
having no little trouble this season
over the attempts of the latter to
standardize the citrus fruit output of
Florida. Complaints of growers last
season leads to more rigorous tests
and the seizure of shipments thought
to be made too early. The color test
is considered unfair. by the growers
