of the eminent Negro. singer, Roland
Hayes, for the year of 1923 are re.
parted to have amounted to $780,.
900, an amount which a race singer
has never before approximated.
Perhaps the greatest portion Of his
earnings was made in Europe, where
the artist gained high recognition
in music circles. This year the un-
usual demand for the popular singer
is sure to boost his annual income.
Many persons wonder at the &C.
complishments of Mr.. Hayes, when
they recollect the time that they
could hear him for twenty-five cents

THE TOBACCO 1NDUsTRY-Few people real

+
ly seem to realize that the tobacco industry in
South Georgia has grown to enormous proper
tons within very short time. Six millions OF
dollars for thirty million pounds last year indicate
something of its scope
Yet there,ar other signs. Every community is
sounding out the proposition, learning about the
cultivation and curing of tobacco 1t is going to
be planted in ever increasing quantities and the
demand seems to sustain the belief that it will
pay, especially as Georgia tobacco is pre-eminent
of all the bright leaf tobacco raised in the
South.
In addition to that there has been a steady exc
dus of experienced tobacco men from North Car
DINA into Georgia. They have look at the land,
they have also seen what it has done and they
know~that their chance is here. More than ten
farmers from that state we're reported coming
into Georgia last week.
Every acre OF land in Georgia ought not to be
in tobacco. There are, however, many farms
where four-acre patch would work WE'LL be-
cause it could be tended without much additional
cost and would produce splendid revenue. Co
ing into the game large scale by an inexperi-
enced man is precarious No farmer has any NOR
al right to try his all in crop when he doesn't
know anything about it. Especially is this true
where he has chance for such diversity of &C
tivity Thomas county possesses. Experience
one year may change the situation 1t may not
pay to have all your crops in one basket 1t never
has yet except on unusual years Thomasville En-

EDUCATION WEEK-A general movement
turnout the country, in every educational 1nsti-
tuition and by school authorities in town and
country. is scheduled for the week of November
II to % to arouse greater interest in certain
phases of education The local schools, as well
as those of the rural districts are expected to
have daily programs in line with the national
movement to inspire interest in the pupils as
we'll as the grown ups.
During the week various subjects are selected
for this occasion, among them the Constitution,
Patriotism, School and Teacher, llteracy and
How to Cure 1t, Physical Education, Community
Service and It's Relation to School Relationship
Religion, Morality and Education, Their Relation
to the Makeup of Good Citizenship.
1t is probable that the teachers of the city and
county will have meeting jointly in advance OF
The Education Week, to formulate definite plans
and secure local talent to carry the various mes
saees to all of the schools Patrons of the schools
and the public in general should be invited to at
tend these meeting to make the universal appeal
for better schools effective.

OF "SLUSH FUNDS"-Regardless of party, be-
cause the custom is general, the expenditures
made for the conduct Of national elections
have reached the proportion of public disgrace.
1t is little less than shameful when millions top
of millions must be spent to present properly be-
fore the public candidates who ask their suffrage.
Once let our men of great wealth withhold their
financial support and no candidate, matter
how wodthy or well fitted for office, has posi-
bic chance of election. This can mean only one con
diton-that the candidate must be half, if not
wholly, hamstrung before he enters the race.
When the Harding campaign expenditures
became public it was found they amounted to
some four millions of dollars. When the campaign
ended it was found that plus this sum, approx
mately three millions of debts had been piled up.
1t needs little Imagination to the plight in
which Presidents finds himself with such obliga
tons
The election of President is national and
not party concern, and the expenses OF such
campaigns should be paid by the government
Congress should appropriate reasonable sum of
money for each legally nominated candidate.
Each party could have assigned for its fit
ting sum to present its arguments in frankly
signed newspaper advertising which would strip
every campaign of any semblance of underhand
ed propaganda. Our present system is an outrage
on decency 1t should be brought to end with
out delay.

"A number of reports have recently been re-
ceived in this city to the effect that one of the
larger of the tobacco buying concerns expects to
locate re-dryng plant somewhere in South
Georgia before next season. Valdosta and one
other South Georgia city is reported to be under
consideration and it is expected that as soon as
the bulk of the North Carolina crop is marketed
the company will begin active investigation of
the advantage Of the two places a location for
such plant. 1t is believed that this will be the
beginning of movement to locate number of
tobacco enterprises at some advantageous point
in South Georgia to be prepared for the greater
development which is expected in this section as
tobacco producing area"
Our Chamber OF Commerce should make dill
gent efforts to lcate this industry in Fitzgerald

ARE YOU HUMPING OR DUMP1NG7-Th

psychologists are talking now, hence would
like to have the class give strict attention because
it is very deep subject.
The psychologists tell us that man has a dual
mnd-the conscious and the sub-conscious. You
have heard that before? Oh veay well, then we
will pass it.
Without FASTING any labels ourselves or
even hanging on to the other fellows coat tails,
YOU and / know that constantly making
mental records and packing them away some
where, for future reference.
Every optomistic hopeful, pleasant and cour-
ageous record you make, will be OF wonderful and
powerful assistance to you when the grey days
come every time in fact when you are inclined to
have the dumps"
Every pessimstic, doleful, unpleasant and fear
full record you make, your conscious mind will
drag forth from its cubby hole to damn you
every time an opportunity presents itself
Poppy cock perhaps you say and you may
also add that you do not take any stock in the
two minds, conscious and sub conscious business
anyway.
All right brother so be it, but if that is your
positon, YOU are buclling up against an array OF
facts that some day will stun you.
During the past strenuous months you nave Cd
served some business who stood the gait I'M
usually well and some who did not. One man
was bumped just as hard as the others; one man
smiled and went on, the other bowed his head and
sagged. Wherein lay the difference? Tempera-
ment you say; possibly, indeed probably heredi-
ty. All right, we will grant you Is per cent as
the result of these causes, but the previous men
tai records made, must and do account for the
balance, the rs per cent
We either make or mar our own lives and that
