WORTH WHILE LEGISLATURE

The Legislature will take recess for two
/ years, when it closes it's 1925 session Saturday
night, and though perhaps much valuable leg
islation may have failed to pass, the people
of Georgia have reason to be satisfied with
some of the constructive measures which
were enacted and some of the poor bills that
the majority kept off the statute books At
this writing there seems probability that the
Oil Inspectors will be cut down to six instead
of 1853, which in itself is worth the cost of the
entire session The clearing up of the High
way middle, reviving the confidence of the
people in the highway department is another
worth while achievement and all in all Geor
gia perhaps hadn't had quite as successful
legislative session in some time as has been the
1925 assembly.

WORST OF THEM ALL

A preacher of recognized sincerity and hu-
mity hits the nail on the head in the follow
ing: "The years and more of public service
have brought the writer face to face with ev-
cry kind of character. 1t is but to tell the
truth to say that as between gossipers and
other moral prevents, put the gossiper at the
bottom of the list. The drunkard, the gam
bled, the thief, the murderer, are all white
and shining angels in my judgment, as COM
pared with the gossiper May heaven rid us
of these long -tongued vipers that suck the
blood of the good names and pure character
like some fashioned leash of torment"

There are $50 to 700 prisoners in
the Atlanta penintentiary now work
ing in the duck mill. Each is paid &c
a yard for their output and the
amount is placed to their credit and
payable on their release, or else in
the case of dependent families, which
as rule are the ones considered in
the selection of workmen, certain
part is sent directly to these families.
In order not to put the prison output
in competition on the open markets
tn government has been taking the
greater part of it in canvas for mail
bags. An over production recently
was taken by the navy.

BRYAN'S WILL

Mr.. Bryan instituted a provision in
his will that might we'll be feature
in any will. The requests to his chill
dren are made subject to two condi-
lions. One that if any child resorts to
the courts to break the will, the be-
quest to such child shall be revoked
and the share will go into the gener-
al estate to be divided among the 9th
er legatees. The other provision is
that only one-half of each child's be-
quest may be withdrawn at imme-
diate distribution, the other half re-
naming intact until their mothers
death, and kept in the form OF fed
eral OF state bonds by the executors
until that time.

AN ANNIVERSARY PROPER

Deadwood has shown other ambi-

what an anniversary means to them.
The "Days of '76" (minus the spir-

the streets of the most widely known
gold camp in the world.
The store fronts were stabbed to
represent the primitive cabins and old
stage coaches paraded the streets as
well as old barred miners, Deadwood

Indians Old style dance halls, gold
panning in the creek flowing through

THE "BRIDEMOBILE"

In Germany where the autombile
is not so cheap or in such general use
as in our country, bridal couples are
finding cheap and convenient meth
cd for the honeymoon trip in the use
of the motorcycle. This does not
mean the use of side car either, as
so common with Americans, but the
bride is perched on a little extra seat
close to the groom, quite too close
for comfort except in the case of
newlyweds whom it just suits. The
popular use of the motorcycle in this
way has given it the new name.

So whichever way the wheel turns

THIS is time of peril for the grain
grower, seed is high priced with
the general result, that when seed is
high much seed is usually put in the
ground. In the event of good gen.

several bushel of grain at the time OF
threshing to pay for one bushel of
seed used at the time of seeding, this
is especially true of spring grain

NLYDEBANK is town of about
~ $4,000 inhabitants, the main part
of whom are engaged in the Engin-
eering works of Beardmore and
Singer.
The houses are owned by these
firms and in 1914 they tried to force
up the. rents. The women Of the dis
trict revolted and refused to pay the
increase. The workers then organ
lied for the fight in the Clydebank
Housing Association.
Enthusiasm was strong, and in the
windows cards were displayed bear
ing such slogans as "No Increase in
Rent" mo Evictions," etc.
The landlords tried to force the In
crease from them by issuing notices OF
eviction, but they were not so easily
beaten. Sentries were posted at the
street corner to watch for the coming
of the officials, and cycling scouts were
in readiness, so that in very short
time, the workers could be rallied to
prevent it.
The landlords then tried the tactic
of suing their tenants in court for
debt. On the day of the trial, when
the courts opened, hundreds of dun
garee clad men, straight from the
workshop, crowded into the court,
packing it to the doors. The whole of
the workers of the district had rallied
to the call.
HE authorities were aghast. Some
thing must be done, so they got in
communication with London. Some
thing was done, the rent restrictions
act was passed. A victory for work
ing class solidarity.
With the termination of the act, the
landlords demanded an increase of
so per cent, although legally they only
could claim 33 1-3 per cent This the
workers refused to pay and in Au-
gust, 1920, the whole of Scotland de-
clared a one days strike in protest.
A legal flaw was round in the no
tees that had been served on them.

MIITH grain prices going up and
wv the time for spring seeding ap-
preaching we are reminded that we
must make an additional outlay for
seed wheat.
While it is customary for farmers
to save seed out of their last years.
crop, we often sell short in the fall to
meet pressing obligations. Then too
number of cases have come to my
notice where neighbors have sold all
their grain to get rid of weed plants
that infest the grain since they do not
have the necessary machinery for
cleaning and the separation of foul
seed. In nearly every such case the
farmer has sold his grain at threshing
time, but finds no seed in the market
till the following seeding time. These
farmers are especially hard hit b,
such market spurts where they were
compelled to sell on a low market and
buy back when it is high. The grain
gambler has all the advantage over
the grain grower.
IIGH wheat prices are lauded as
l / the benefactor of the grain
grower. This is only half truth. A
few grain growers may temporarily
benefit where they have not sold out
tho these are exceptional cases. In
time the market manipulation gets the
best Of every grain grower for it de-
Ponds chiefly on the cost of produc-
ton as to whether the grain grower
makes any profit whatever, and these
market spurts have the bad effect Of
boosting the price of necessities and
thus increasing the cost of production
for every individual grain grower
while only a few have perhaps re-
ceived any benefit from the increased
price Of grain.
THE farmer is wrapt up in a system
i of production. he is also a con-
