village, she has grown and expand

Of the great American cities.
There seems to be no end to he:
phenomenal growth. In 1928 she
issued more building permits thar
ever before in her history, the to.
tai reaching the gigantic figure OF
$26,250,000, about six millions
more than any previous record.
The 1928 figure was reached
through the launching Of severa
new office buildings, two huge no.

houses, the Spring street viaduct

Hints
BY the
Father Of
Physical
Culture

There is one structure OF the
body that may be regarded as the
foundation for everything else. 1t
has more TO DO than any other
with determining ones state of
health and ones physical age.
The importance OF the spine in
its relation to the general makeup
of an individual has been rocogniz-
ed from the earliest times. " hen
our forofathers referred to the
value of "baczbone". speaking in
a moral and psychological sense.
they expressed their recognition Of
the supreme Importance OF the
spinal column. The, same idea is
brought home TO us today by 4
clover humorist and cartoonist
some Of whose work appears under
the significant title Are you One
OF These Spiaeless Creatures? p"
Speaking in either the moral or
physical sense. these expressions
mean simply that without back
bone one does not amount to
much.
The spine is the dominating and
central structure of the body. 1t
is the supporting structure. 1t
gives stability and at the same
time feasibility, TO the entire body,
From the purely mechanical stand
point it is a marvel Of adaptability,
DO you realize that in practical
Iy every effort you make the spine
is involved? DO YOU appreciate the

HOLDING COUNTY PRIMARIES

The Atlanta Constitution,
which is quite sure there will be
presidential primary this year
in Georgia, suggests that the
counties hold their primaries at
the same time in order to save
costs and nominate their county
officials fol the next four years.
Indeed, it has been suggested
that the counties all holQ their
primaries on the same day and
the Constitution urges the vari-
Gus executive committees to de
fer calling the primaries for To-
cal offices until the state com
mittee has set the presidential
primary date. The latter must
be held not later than May, as
the Democratic National Conyen-
ton will come of probably in
Chicago early in July. Of course,
there must q lapse of time be-
tween the State primary and the
national convention.
The Constitution concludes
that;
BY holding the county and
presidential primaries at the same
time, with the same election Of
ticials, the costs will not only be
considerably reduced but the
pepole will be relieved Of an adj
ditional election in the spring.
This is of much Importance, for
the year is, in the general order
of a national election program,
to be surfeited with politics and
elections, and any relief that can
possibly be made should be vel
coined.
1t has been customary in
Georgia for many counties TO told
their primaries i'm the spring for
the nomination of county off
GERS. In Chatham that nomina-
ton has usually been made Sep
TENDER, when the Governor and
the United States Senator are
nominated and members Of the
Legislature also are chosen. These
elections are fixed by law The
nominating primary is more inl-
pQrtant this year than usual be
cause it'll presidential year and
it is necessary TO keep the party
organization intact. This is inn
poltaut at all times, but especial

Mr.. Neal owns and lives. on a

has it in a high state of cultiva-
ton. There is a small dairy of
only 10 COWS but good ones, from
which he sells an average Of
$3.50 worth Of dairy products per
month. He has practically every
variety of fruit on it that grows,
besides 35 bearing Satsumas and
100 young trees coming rapidly.
The rest Of the place he
cultivates in garden truck of ev-
cry variety, specializing in vege-
tables that come in the fall and
winter. His dairy forms the basis
Of his operations, and enables
him to keep his farm at The high
est point of production. He
states that he finds ready sale for
most of what he produces right
in Bay Minette, and at better
prices than he knows to obtain
in any other town. He only
ships his Satsumas and occasion
ally pecans, as the local market
can absorb only 1.-THE Of these
products. He also raises fine
poultry, WHITE Plymouth Rocks,
and has two kennels, one for
hound dogs and another for col
lies, both Of which he breeds for
market"

SILVER

There's considerable agitation in
some quarters because the county
is not consuming more silver than
II years ago, There'd even be q
decided decrease, if it weren't that
the use of silver in photoplay has
increased greatly One of the rea-
sons for the decline in silver con-
sumption is the growth of the sale
of silver substitutes (alloys of Other
m~tals) for tableware.

ELECTRIC

Epilepsy and many other disease
of the nervous system and endrocino
glands are decidedly influenced by
the amount OF electricity in the air

British scientist.
Which suggest that electricity

cine. This is doubly probable, in
view of ting theory that matter or

How often do'you use the phone?
Nearly 25 billion conversations a
year pass over the telephone wires.
This is about $50 calls for every

try. Less than one day
There's a phone for approximately
every seven Americans. So the
average phone is used about 1000
times year.
Many now living can recall when
the phone was only d toy of the
experimenters. With this precedent,
it's safe to make almost any pre-
diction for the future Of radio and
airplane.

ALIBI

Merchants frequently blame poor
business ON the weather. J. Casin,
sales manager of the Van Raalte
Company, has studied the matter
and decided that in the long run
weather has very little effect on
business. Unfavorable weather may
temporarily affect sales, but there's
ia corresponding increase later, ac-
cording to Casin.
Merchants, however are like the
rest of us, Every person has his
pet alibi-and usually it's a delu-
sion.

Georgia Is Prosperous.

Z
From practically every point
in the state come reports OF
good December business. Those
who were predicting poor BUSH
ness, no doubt, are disappointed.
Merchant after merchant in
Americas state that Christmas
trade was more than expected.
Some state that 1923 December
receipts were greater than De-
cember, 1922. One merchant
said that his Christmas Eve
business was the greatest single
day in his history with one ex-
ception.
Things are never as bad as
they seem--or as some would
have you think. The calamity
bowler not only wrecks his own
fortune, but carries others down
with him. Outside of the State,
the opinion had prevailed that
Georgia was broke - and
GEORGIANS are to blame.
The Savannah Morning News
in a recent issue had this to say:
Thousands of Christmas and
general holiday stocks of goods
in scores of Southeast Georgia
towns looked the day after
Christmas Eve as if a cyclone had
hit the place. Reports from
many towns are to the effect
that the merchants were cleaned
out-and that business was I'M
precedented!'
Commenting on the above,
The Atlanta Georgian states that
Georgia people had money to
spend, and they spent it, com
menting as follows:
u Somewhat the same status Of
: things prevailed in Atlanta and
vicinity, Indeed reports from
holiday trade, which are pretty
we'll in now, show that it was
rzsomewhat record-breaking all
over the State.
Our Georgia people had mon
ey to spend--and they spent it!
Neither the pessimist nor the
calamity bowler gets anywhere
particularly in Atlanta, Georgia
and the South nowadays!
The fellow who loses faith in
himself, his community and his
Estate is hopeless citizen. The
lpity is that he too often is gift

on for little brain.
