many all over south Georgia are interested.

and beautiful specimens will delight lovers
of this magnificent flower

To Cut Income Taxes Again.
From the Atlanta Georgian.

Good news for business comes from Wash
ington. At the next session of congress, be-
ginning in December this year, the income
tax will again be reduced
That news was not unexpected. Long be-
fore last November it was the gossip in f.
nancial circles that the election of President
Coolidge would mean another slash in the
toll on incomes. Authoritative announcement
that this program will be carried through is
pleasing to industry and the business world
in general
The original Mellon bill providing for a
cut OF Is per cent in the surtax, will be re-
vived in a modified form. Other reductions
on small incomes will be included, but the
measure will not bear the name OF the sec
rotary of the treasury
The promised decrease in the tax, with the
hint that further reductions are likely to fol-
low at intervals until it is wiped out alto
gether should draw much capital that has
sought immunity from taxation in exempt
bonds back into business channels Such a
return of money to hard work for progress
instead Of idling in security like a man on a
summer vacation, will begin at the time when
business financing may be most needed

Georgia Is All Right.
From the Winder News.

The Caronas have been thrown up to us
Georgians so often as progressive states, sue
cessfully locating manufacturing enterprises
in their midst, that we had almost given up
the contest and were willing to trail along
in the rear thankful for any crumbs that
might fall to Georgia.
On this account we were surprised when
our eyes fell upon news item taken from
The Sun, newspaper published in Spartan
burg, S. c. Maybe the scriptural expression,
the first shall be last and the last shall be
first" will prove true so far as Georgia is con-
cerned Maybe Georgia will elect her poll
ticians to stay at home some OF these days,
get down to business right and will again
become the empire state OF the south.
In the news item that we mentioned the
Spartanburg Sun says that thdir state IS
suffering from taxation, which is driving
money and manufacturing enterprises away
and destroying the value of mill stocks. The
Pacolet mills, company that has four large
plants in that county, has moved its Offices
and headquarters to Gainesville, Ga. and
others will follow.
South Carolina has both income and inher-
itance taxes.
OF one thing we can rest assured, we can't
tax industries beyond the bounds OF reason
and expect them to continue with us.

Dispensing With Carriers.

1t may be true that the female OF the spe-
cies is more deadly than the male, but as a
recent news item is read it is to be doubted
that Insecurity may be depended upon for
more, or as much, common sense. Men of
the student body in the University OF Cal
ifornia have dispensed with carriers. The vul-
gar descriptive, sloppy socks" conveys an
idea of the new vogue. In consequence this
fad has sent many aspirants for the dstin-
gushing name he-men to the hospitals with
colds and greatly reduced vitality. Patients
have increased 100 per cent in number since
the men at the university exposed their shins.
The fad is taken seriously by the univer-
sity authorities and by physicians who have
observed its i'll effects. Inclement weather,
says the news item, has played havoc with
the neither extremeties of the campus men
their physical condition After this any mere
man guilty OF wearing sloppy socks" has no
right whatever to criticize the girls for any
thing they do in the way OF accepting the
vogue
By far the most interesting thing in con-
nection with this deterioration is its revela-
ton as a fact Until now it had been the
impression in these parts that the men who
drew the comic strips had foisted upon the
public a highly imaginative invention. But
no; cartoonists merely have been reporting
che terrible truth.

The Call of Spring.

The fact that cleanliness is rated as a vir-
tue next to Goodness probably accounts for
the mysterious urge felt by mankind in the
spring to assist nature in the work of Clean
ing up around the place" For some inexpli-
cable reason this is the season when every
thing, from the front yard to the back alley,
is carefully groomed. Spurred, it seems, by
natures example the initiative human .ele-
ment also seeks to doll things up bit"
The call to cleanliness and orderliness
which comes with each returning spring is
probably the reply of our conscious
minds to natures appeal for beauty. 1t comes
just as naturally as do the April rains to
wash down the hillsides and flush out the
valleys. 1t is just as necessary as March
winds, just as welcome as May sunshine. I'm
doubtedly it has its place in the cosmic
scheme OF things, hence it should be the part
of wisdom for humankind to heed this spring
time urge to spruce up" Make it your bus
mess therefore, to get out the shovel and
the wheelbarrow, the rake and the hoe, the
hammer and the paint brush. With nature
setting her dizzy pace of spring there is no
real rason why mere man should not do his
part TO make his surroundings more clean,
more orderly more beautiful. Clean up a
bit; brush up your surroundings. You owe
it to this wonderful season of the year.

Scarcity of Privates.

Tohn w. Davis. who, defeated last Novem-
Der in the presidential elction retired grace
fully to practice his profession, has discovered
that the democratic party is much like the
Mexican army in one dscouraging respect-it
has, he says, great scarcity of privates.
Coming from man OF Mr. Davis standing
in national politics this criticism OF the party
ought to make an impression on those DEM
ocrats who insist upon commissions as lead
ers The Mexican army never was a good
one because there were so many officers and
so Jew fighting men that leadership was i'm
possible and combat quite out of the ques-
ton. For. to be sure, whether it is the army
or a political party, the leaders must have
followers or they simply cannot lead.
Mr.. Davis while discovering this fact for
himself, merely has called attention to it
again as far as the public is concerned. 1t has
been known for years that every democrat
who had attained more or less prominence
wished to be a leader. Few democrats are
content to stay in the ranks While that may
be commendable in degree as revealing a
courage and indomtable will on the part Of
individuals it results in a woeful lack OF
driving force Anything that moves forward
with power must have momentum consist
emily sustained by the exercise OF energy
within itself Everyone knows that the pri-
Yates make the army. They constitute the
actual combat forces. They do the work
of fighting The officers merely direct.
The recent attempt of the democrats to get
together in love feast in the east was an
utter failure 1t had been the hope of some
leaders that the east and west could be paci-
fed and united, that the two factions which
disrupted the party last June in New York
could be influenced to bury the Ratchet and
forget. Franklin D. Roosevelt, who had been
looked upon as a progressive type OF demo-
crat, was chosen to call the democrats to-
gether because it was felt that he could ap-
peal to those elements OF the south and west
But Mr.. Roosevelt was a champion OF Gov
ernor Smith. of New York He offered the
governors name at the New York convention,
and made an imprisoned plea for his sup
port Then there was considerable Nc
Adoodling on the part of some western and
southern democrats. They resented the sug-
gestion that Smith lieutenant should pre-
sumo to issue such call
Here and there democrat who thinks
himself prominent and influential may be
found who is content to remain in the ranks,
but for the most part they wish to be lead
ers. scarcity OF privates,' as Mr.. DAVIS
saws, and a surplus of leaders and factions
seem to have conspired to confuse, embarrass
and confound great political party that IS
worthy OF better things,

RUDE RURAL RHYMES
SOUTHERN SLOPES.

This land wherein l spend my days this
Ithica that all men praise, has hillsides slop-
ing forty ways. Most tardily the spring is
felt the ice and snow too slowly melt and
not till May the flowers come forth upon
those slopes that face the north. But kindly
patches looking south first feel the kiss of
April's mouth. Earth's thawing veins in
streamess gush, and though they give US
mud and slush, through dead, brown leaves
the violets break, in every breeze the wind
flowers shake, and other blossoms many
one. arise to greet their lord, the sun. Here
is a parable, l wis for human life is much
like this | know some men, you know them
too, who face the north in all they do. For
them the winter fingers late with frosts OF
bitterness and hate. Forever set on selfish
ends they have no joys, they make no
friends Life is too short for any gent in
shade and gloom to rest content. On many a
pleasant southern slope shine rays of love and
faith and hope. If you have woes let no man
know it, if you are glad for Pete's sake show
it, BOB ADAMS.

The Chapman Case.

Counsel for Gerald Chapman, notorious
bandit and murderer recently found guilty
and condemned to death in Connecticut, has
raised the question whether the state has the
right to execute him while he is under fed
eral control Chapman was sentenced to Is
years in the federal penitentiary at Atlanta
for participating in 100000 mail robbery.
Frederick J. Groehl. the murderer's attorney,
declares the government sentence takes prece-
dence over that imposed by the Connecticut
court
How the point of law will be settled re-
mains to be seen. 1t might appear to the
layman as the attorney makes the unusual
plea that the counsel has attempted to es-
tablish his clients right to serve the sentence
imposed upon him by United States court,
and that the argument undertakes to defend
this as a privilege which the state is about
to deny him. 1t is naive contention, and,
in view of the fact that some queer things
are done in interpreting law in this country,
none could say conclusively that it will fail
as a loophole Of escape for this notorious
thief and killer.
Mr. Groehl has failed utterly to deceive
anyone by making this plea for his client.
His representation to the court is of a piece
with the fabric so frequently woven by at
torneys for criminals to protect them from
punishment under the law. In this case it is
a poor protection against an aroused and
outraged society Yet there the courts,
many of which, it seems, are designed more
for the purpose of giving the criminal every
chance at escape than to provide lawabiding
citizens with protection. Indeed, Gerald Chap
man has not been hanged in Connecticut and
his doom will not be sealed until the trap
falls beneath him.

MIR. Bryan's Cross of Gold.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.

Smile you may, though not in unkindly
fashion, at the spectacle of William J. Bry-
an the commoner, becoming William ]. Bry-
an the millionaire For, by all the articles Of
faith OF professional commoners, a million
must be veritable cross OF gold laid. in his
age upon the shoulders OF the Nebraska
Floridan. Still worse, it is laid on him by the
hand of unearned increment, hated monster
of evil mien to all true democrats and lovers
OF the people. That thought must be a crown
of thorns pressed down upon the conscien-
tious Bryanic brow. Yet no one will wish to
see Mr.. Bryan suffer too much under his
cross of gold and crown of thorns.

Small Town Stuff.
From the Calhoun County Couri

FIOH IIIe calhoun county CouT1eT.
There is nothing quite as foolish as the
senseless rivalry which very often is exhibit
ed by neighboring small towns
The people Of little town will devote
quite the major portion of their time, when
they are bitten with the bug, to running down
their sister town. And, a few miles up the
pike, the sister town will be wasting valuable
hot air telling the world what bum town
its neighboring village is, and how much bet
ter it is.
The inhabitants of both towns are foolish
Great sections are built not through foolish
striving to keep neghboring village on an
inferior plane, but by trying hard to pull all
the towns to higher status. No section
builds itself when its people are torn by dis
senton, even when the discussion is based on
absurd small town jealousy

Poultry and Egg Supply.

This from the Triton Gazette will be en-
couraging news to those OF our readers in
Terrell county and surrounding section who
are interested in the sale OF poultry and eggs:
According to reports the recent embargo
on chickens has had the result Of reducing
the quantity OF poultry in the country, and
it is predicted that the market will remain
good for the next year. The available supply
Of dressed fowl in storage on February first
was 124OOO,O0O pounds, which was at least
twenty-five per cent more than year ago,
but it is stated that this surplus has since
been reduced. The egg supply was two mil
lion cases less on February LIST this year than
last, and this would indicate a better egg
market Indications would seem to point TO
better markets for both eggs and poultry,
which should be encouraging to those en-
gagged in poultry and egg production
