TEN YEARS Eco ToDAY


(From The Times-Recorder. Sept.
6, 1910
Americas is preparing to con
duct "Buy Bale Of Cotton" cam
paign, already number Of citizens
of this hustling city have pledged
their cooperation in the campaign
and it bids fair to be far reaching
in it's effects. A meeting will be
held Tuesday morning 70 perfect
plans for the campaign. Cotton IS
sure to be worth more than $50 a
bale after the war is over ana
those who buy bale or more will
have a good investment. One hun
dred thousand dollars has been plac-
ed in New York to the credit Of
Mr.. A. w. Smith president of tne
Bank of South Western Georgia, TO
be expended by his bank in an al-
vance upon cotton at the rate, nori-
nally, of $35. per bale.
While on Cotton avenue one night
last week, we were attracted by gay
music and brilliant light in a beer
saloon near the corner Of Lamar
street. The music, the light and the
screen made a good picture well
illustrating the invitation Come in

casion Of greatest interest to the

The High Cost Of Crime

81 N<OCN VI NJ 1A1lO
Word from Chicago is that
the Loeb-Leopold hearing will
cost that community not less
than 100000. That sum is less
than a regular trial would cost,
but it is illuminative in that it
informs the public, not only
there but everywhere, that crime
IS enormously expensive in dol
lars and cents, to say nothing
of its hideousness.
Chicago now has attained a
record of murder a day. Not
all OF these crimes will entail
such expenses as are attached to
the Loeb-Leopold hearing. but
no one of them will fail to take
its money toll from the pockets
OF the taxpayers.
And what is true in Chicago
IS also true in every other com
munity where crimes, great or
small, are committed.
Every time an offense against
the law is perpetrated. whether
1t be OF minor or major degree,
1t reaches into the pocket Of ev-
cry citizen and takes therefrom.
IN cold cash, either so MANY
cents or so many dollars, as the
case may demand. Soak vour
hide with this fact.
We deprecate it but do not
measure crime for what it is. We
look upon it as merely an in
frIngement or assault Of one or
more persons upon others, in
dIvidually or collectively and in
one way or another-as a shock
to the human sensibilites. 1t is
all OF that and far more.
1t IS a money tax of burden
some size. 1t is something that
we permit to be forced on us
and for which we must and do
pay in cold, hard cash. II IS
something that impoverishes us
not only morally, physically and
mentally mt but financially.
he remedy is in the hands
OF civilization everywhere. That
crimes repulsive face leers Al
us from every angle is our fault
and ours alone. And we paw a
heavy price for that leer.

PAVING UP DFRrs

No One Can know
Everything

It's amazing, the vast number
of things that have been learn
ed by the worlds people through
the centuries. The SUM total of
human knowledge is so gigantic
that the brightest brains would
have to live thousands upon
thousands of years to master it
all.
For instance, the carpenter
has knowledge that is entirely
unknown to the chemist. Every
different line of work requires a
great amount of knowledge that
is unknown to outsiders.
1t takes a man almost a life
time to begin to learn about
farming, chemistry, medicine,
craftsmanship or any Of all the
other long line of human activi-
ties.
We have barely scratched the
surface of knowledge. And yet
a man could live thousands of
lifetimes, in each one following
a different line of work, and at
the end he'd only have acquir-
ed a fraction of the knowledge
that has been found out by the
human race at large.
Addressing companies sell
mailing lists covering over 5000
different forms of business ac-
tivitiy.
You know what it meant by
the lost arts. )" Much knowl-
edge perishes as oncoming gen
erations turn their attention to
different pursuits.
It's like the practice of medi-
cine. When a physician dies,
a part of what he has learned
by experience dies with him. He
hasn't time to make a complete
record.
The old idea of education
was to pour facts into the brain,
the same as filling a jug with a
funnel. But we have progress
ed and specialized so much that
education is, by compulsion, be-
ing put on a different basis.
To succeed, a man must spe-
cialize on some one thing. In that
field he needs all the facts he
can soak up.
But when it comes to general
knowledge, it is futile to attempt
to learn everything. 1t simply
cannot be done. The important
thing is to be taught how to find
knowledge when occasion arises
for using it, A dictionary is Just
as useful to the average per-
son as several years study of
foreign languages-unless the
languages will be used in his
life work.
Some studies are primarily
to train the thinking processes
of the brain, rather than the ac-
tual knowledge acquired.

Grapes AS a CONNER
cial Crop

Grapes are being profitably
produced near Savannah, states
the Savannah Press, by a Mr..
Oliver, on his home place. Says
the Press:
Mr.. Oliver has very large
acreage in black scuppernongs,
which do not ripen until late in
the season, and which will remain
on the vines until frost if permit
ted to do so. He also has very
extensive vineyard of the white
scuppernongs and he finds a very
ready market for these and for
the black grapes in Savannah
and elsewhere. The success of
his experiment in growing grapes
for market should inspire others
adjacent to Savannah to engage
in the same occupation. Of
course the passage of the Vol
stead law has reduced the sphere
of usefulness to the Georgia
grown grape, but there are still
plenty of legitimate uses to
which they may be put. They
are very fine, eaten directly after
being gathered, and they make
excellent jelly. OF course, it is
not for Mr.. Oliver nor for the
Press to question the ultimate use
to which the many bushels of
grapes he sells each summer are
put. That is a matter for the
conscience of the purchaser.
Anyway, it was not intended to
make this editorial one dealing
with the virtues or the shortcom-
ing of the era of prohibition.
The sole intent has been to show
that grapes can be grown sue
cessfully on a commercial basis
in Chatham county. And Mr..
Oliver is ready to demonstrate
that at any time. Grapes of
the scuppernong variety whole
sale at from $3.50 to $3.50 per
bushel, according to the supply.
The demand is always good. And
they can be sold without any in
spection or with the grower not
having to bother to do anything
but gather them and deliver
them at the arbor's side.
A couple of years ago Mr.
John Sheffield produced out OF
his farm near the city some o
the finest grades we have eve
seen in the State. The bunche.
were full and luscious and a
large as those We often see pic.
tured as produced only in Cali
fornia. Then there are many
fine scuppernongs being produc
ed in the county. Many Of the
arbors need attention, but i
seems there would be a worth
while profit in grape culture pro
vided the business is given intel.
ligent attention.
The grape is delicious frui
and no doubt market coulc
be found right here in the State

Editorial Opinions Cleaned
Serious and Otherwise
From Press and Magazine

found that it had lost millions OF
dollars in sales for the year, and
further, it discovered that it
would require the expenditure Of
about five times as much money
as it had been paying out for
advertising to get its soap again
before the public as fayorably as
before the advertising was drop
ped.
Experience of men engaged in
big business has taught them tha.
if they fail to advertise they are
playing a losing game, and they
keep their advertising going all
the while. An evidence of the
fact that advertising does pay is
found not only in newspapers but
in magazines. Now is the time to
increase advertising. The fall
season is at hand and fall goods
are on sale. The merchant who
keeps abreast of the times is the
one who advertises. Watch the
stores that advertise regularly
and those that do not, and you
will see the difference.-Colum~

FOR PROGRESS OF GEORGIA

FOR PROGRESS OF GEORGIA
A survey of the weekly press
of Georgia to discover the trends
of thought which will animate the
next Legislature brought into
prominence this declaration frora
a candidate for the House of Rep
resentatives:
II know that the South is in
the beginning of an unthought-
of development and prosperity
that Georgia, because of her
untouched resources, geographi-
cal position and splendid peo-
pie, can truly become the En-
pire State of the Nation, and /
earnestly believe that we have
the talent and ability among
ourselves to make it so. A. good,
clean honest, serious-minded,
free Legislature is the first and
necessary step in this direction.
Compressed into one para

spirit which cannot fail to create
new prosperity and better lives

is translated into action.-Vai-
