Not Altogether to Blame.

The Conyers Times says that counties
contiguous to Atlanta continue to devote
their major agricultural efforts to cotton
culture, while freight trains daily haul in the
foodstuffs from distant states that could be
raised in abundance here"
Our Conyers contemporary sounds time
ly note in calling attention to state OF at
fairs that should not exist. The farmers
however, are not entirely to blame. Just as
many people will not patronize their home
merchants and buy their goods in distant cities
there are many dealers who will not
buy Georgia produce. We have an instance ii
mind when a Georgia citizen who had AZ
bushels of neatly sacked white peas OF SUI
perior quality for sale could not find a buyer
in Atlanta He spent half of one day going
from place to place in an effort to sell them
and everywhere the Georgia grown produc
was refused. He was informed by dealer!
that they preferred and sold a certain varie
ty of pea that is grown in California There
is no doubt that far too much produce i
shipped into Georgia but it is Just as tru
that the farmers are not altogether to blame
When they are assured a market for wha
they grow practically ali the food and feed
stuff that is consumed in Georgia will b.
produced in the state If the farmers are ex
pected to feed Georgia the dealers in Georges
must give Georgia grown products the pref
erence The obligation is on one just as mucl
as on the other.
Georgians should buy from Georgians.

To Prevent Deficits.

Nothing has been heard Of very meritori-
Gus measure since its introduction IN the leg
islature-a bill to limit county tax levies
inst as the state rate is limited by law
Wherever it is. if pigeon-holed or asleep IN
committee, it should be rescued and pushed
to passage.
If Is the custom OF state departments and
state institutions to spend in excess OF their
appropriations-ofte many thousands OF
dollars-and ask the Legislature for additional
money with which to pay the detcits. In
the counties it has been a common practice,
when the cash balance in fund has become
exhausted to issue warrants against such
fund. and. subsequently, in some instances,
to authorize issues OF bonds to take up the
warrants By this practice all legal restric-
tons limiting taxation are evaded and bond
ed Indebtedness is created without any
express authorization from the people Some
OF the bond issues in this manner are illegal
If the power of the county government to IS
sue warrants is not curbed the brakes are
off" and county officers can spend all the
money they please.
1t is important that sustained and vigorous
effort shall be directed toward checking the
upward trend of public expenditures During
recent years all effort has been directed to-
ward increasing public revenue to keep pace
with mounting expenditure, but the time has
come when it is essential to think about
checking expenditures rather than about ex-
ploitation of new sources OF revenue. Moth
ing could be more timely than to require
every tax-spending body in the state to budg-
ct its expenditures, and keep its spending
within the estimates OF its budgets.

What's the Matter With Georgia."
From the Adel News.

Recently the Manufacturers Record had
an article about Georgia, Whats the Matter
With Georgian" being the subject in which
the state was painted as suffering from rotten
politics and many other ills. This article was
commented upon favorably by some Georgia
newspapers, which ought to have been en-
gagged in better business. Our observation is
that there is nothing to matter with Georgia
that cannot truthfully be said of many and
perhaps all the other states of the union.
The alleged fact that we are suffering from
rotten politics was given for the reason that
we are not progressing as rapidly as some
of the other states which probably have
large manufacturing interests and which have
not suffered as much from the boil weevil
and other crop pests as this state. The truth
is, Georgia is still the Empire State of the
South" There is no state which is blessed
with more natural resources than Georgia.
Rich in minerals, in agricultural possibilities
and in water power in railroads and high
ways, wonderful in scenery from the noun
tains to the seashore with falls outstripping
Niagara in heighth and beauty, with the
oldest Woman's college in America and per-
haps the world with one of the oldest and
most honored state universities, with other
great universities and colleges for men and
women and fine system of rural schools,
with a people devoted to the higher and bet
ter things who love our churches and foster
them, happy and contented citizenship in
every nook and corner of the grand old COM
monwea1th, there is nothing the matter with
Georgia. There is room for thousands more
of citizens and to all who want to come and
share with us the Joy and happiness of living
in the best state in the union we extend a
cordial invitation. We admit that the state
has been slandered by some of our political
leaders. but the old state is conservative and
not radical and she is going on in the even
tenor of her way, growing and developing
all the time

Camp Meeting Time Is Here.
From the Atlanta Georgian.

Georgia is just entering upon its annual
camp meeting season-a season very dear to
the hearts of thousands of our citizens, par
ticularly in the rural sections.
This camp meeting custom came into
vogue in Georgia shortly before the war be-
tween the states 1t is a fine old custom and
means great deal in the community life OF
Georgians-particularly among the Metho-
dsts.
The ministers and their focks have been
making joyful noise before the Lord at
their camp meetings every year since Lin
coin was first elected president of the United
States and Mr. Davis was on his way to the
presidency of the Confederacy.
The essence of the camp meeting is friend
liness The Methodists get together because
they like to be together. They serve God
gladly. and shake hands over the opportun-
ty for service.
One hears a good deal about the narrow
ness" and repression" of Methodist church
from some people. The truth is the exact
opposite The Methodists have opposed cards
and dancing, for instance not because they
don't want to see people enjoying themselves
but because they want them to know the en-
| joyment there is in religion. The camp meet
ing is a symbol of their enthusiasm.
They preach not only that if you are good
you will be saved but that If you are good
you will be happy.
1t is sound doctrine The Georgian sus-
poets that even their long past is only their
| beginning

lust a Democrat.

Mr. Davis should pray to be delivered from
his friends He is being claimed by some as
a progressive" is said by others to be a
conservative" and not less an able and dis
tinguished authority than our own congress
man has characterized him as progressive
conservative" whatever that is. AS we I'M
derstand it, Mr.. Davis is a plain democrat,
without any frills and furbelows. A real
democrat stands fat-footed upon the time
honored principles on which the party was
founded, and adjectives are not needed to
describe him. If the party managers are
wise they will lose no time in SURPRISING
the discussion as to what kind of a demo
Graf the nominee is, and get ali democrats
solidly behind him. In no other way-c can the
party succeed next November.

The Passing Of W. ]. Bryan.
From the Athens Banner.

With his fiery oratory, in the memorable
convention of 1896 he electrified his hearers
and made for himself name which has kept
him in the lime1ight since. Now in his old
age he sees his former magnetism and power
to control slipping away from his grasp.
Thrice honored with the nomination of presi-
dent by the democracy of this nation, he led
the party to defeat each time, rising again to
become its standard bearer. His greatest po-
litical mistake was made when he deserted
and discredted Champ Clark, after being an
instructed delegate for Clark and floor lead
err for the Missourian By this act he lost
the confidence of the public i'll a great meas
ure and from that day until the present time
he has never been able to recover their con
fdence and faith in him. That was shown a
few days ago when he arose in the New
York convention and undertook to stampede
the convention to McAdoo. He was howled
down and reminded of the incident in which
he played the stellar role in the Baltimore
convention. Standing in front of him, ghost
like, arose the blood and flesh of Champ
Clark, son and daughter reminder to him
no doubt of his desertion of a friend at a
critical moment which meant the political
and human death of the man who had been
his friend in many campaigns. The great
Commoner could go no farther with his re-
marks; staggering from the edge of the plat
form to his seat, the ghost of Champ Clark
overshadowed every thought in the mind OF
this great man who had sacrificed his friend
in the hour of need.

OVERRIDING the Thing.
From the Winder News.

This is an age in which people are over
doing things, or at least the desire to do
things Something must be done about ev-
erything. Congress or legislatures, county
and city officials are all being beseeched by
somebody to do something about every little
question that bobs up.
If business is dull something must be
done to make it better by our 1aw-making
bodies Something ought to be done to make
man run his business along certain lines.
A man ought to be regulated in the rearing
of his children. The length of women's skirts
ought to be regulated by law. Everybody
ought to be regulated in some way. Reform
ers are busy running up and down the land
saying: For Gods sake, do something about
it."
Being patient and keeping still has settled
more problems than the busy-bodies who are
forever clamoring about doing something.
Nature has way of balancing things pretty
we'll. Just give her time If meddlers would
quit meddling and go to work at something
useful great many things over which much
ado is made would adjust themselves smooth
ly and acceptably in the course Of time.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1924-07-29

A great deal has been printed recently
about what is the matter with Georgia.
Elsewhere on this page The News reproduces
from the Abel News timely editorial telling
what is not the matter with Georgia Some
politicians and newspapers, thinking it would
attract favorable attention to themselves, have
given the state much undesirable advertising
by calling attention to rotten politics" and
other alleged unfavorable conditions. The
Dawson News has taken occasion more than
once recently to defend the state from these
attacks and point out its many great adj
vantages The knockers who are knocking for
the sake of a little cheap notorety should
be suppressed.

Angling for Support.

The LaFollette managers evidently are
impressed with the fact that the campaign
of the independent candidate is one handl-
capped right from the beginning. The man
ner in which they are angling for support
both of ballots and money, indicates that they
realize the difficulty of the undertaking ahead
of them Without a hard and fast political
organization without even name for their
party, if, indeed, it may be called one, and
with nothing save discomfort on which to
base argument for support of their candi-
date the Independents will have to trust to
luck in the hope of making showing.
The campaign, of course, must be financed
The LaFollette managers want from $3,000,-
600 to $5,0O0000 to pay the expense of this
effort at control of the balance of power in
the national election The first thing they
thought of was the old saying that every lit
tie bit helps, so they are passing the hat for
all the dollars, halves, quarters and dimes
they can get Contributions to the campaign
fund in any amount will be gratefully ac-
cepted.
Senator LaFollette is also being represent
ed as great friend to the woman voter. He
is being heralded as the first national legis
lator to speak in favor of woman suffrage
and as standing for all the things in govern,
ment that the women want All that is tc
get the woman vote, but this is where some
error of judgment may be made. The ma
jority of women like the majority of men
are democrats and republicans. Women have
as great sense of loyalty to party as have
men, if they do not have a greater appre
citation OF it. And as to money and votes
the campaign will need all of both it can get
