Undesirable Citizens.

The Cordele Dispatch gives a short but
deserved lecture to class OF people who in
fest other towns as we'll as Cordele, Says
our contemporary ii you are unwilling to
help do what it takes to keep your communi-
ty in progressive way please be fair with
those who are trying-be particular not to
get in the way. 1t is bad enough not to help
mot to be willing to render that portion OF
public service which you are due your com
munity. 1t is doubly bad to do nothing and
then try to keep others from doing some
thing"
The individual who makes a living for him
self and family in a town and then knocks
it on all occasions and buys from mail order
houses and merchants in nearby cities is not
worth anything as a citizen The space he oc-
cupies is preferable to his presence, and the
community would be benefited by his removal
to a place more to his liking.

The Home Town.
From the Lincolnton Journal.

A patriotic citizen is one who puts his
home town ahead OF all other towns. He is
one who trades with his neighbors in spite
of inducements by the mail order houses.
He takes special pride in his schools and
churches, and tells every prospector that he
lives among the best people God ever made.
He boosts every new enterprise and declares
there is room for more
No man ought to live in a town unless he
thought that it was the best location beneath
the sun. He reflects on his intelligence when
he kicks, because he has full freedom to go
where he pleases Men who are worth some
thing to a community, to society and to civil
ization are the ones who have faith in those
about them, and who find that which is COM
mendabe in the town in which they live
Hard times come to every community;
there are seasons when it takes a stout and
hopeful heart to see the sunshine. But there
is something lkable in the citizen who talks
of silver Innings in the clouds gathered about
him.
The man who is an optimist might make
his home in the poorest town on earth, yet
the people will make beaten path to his
door to hear him boost it.

Dent Say 1t With Flowers.
From the Newman Herald.

Some people we know are going to pass
on to another world some day. No one
knows the time the way of their going.
Their good deeds will appeal to us and will
be emphasized when they are gone. We will
vainly attempt to say with flowers what we
left unsad while they were on earth to
hear it
Before the grass begins to grow over them
we will utter many kind words about them
Their sterling qualities will be extolled. and
their faults, which we once enlarged, will be
written upon the sand
But that is the way of the world
1t might be different, however. We might
commend their good traits while they are
here to reap the benefit of compliments that
wotrld stir them on to greater effort.
A kind word means much to those who
are striving to do right 1t encourages them
in their laudable undertakings, to persevere in
the path OF honor, and to help those who are
wavering.
Say it to them in life; they can't hear you
when they are gone.

DOESN'T GET VERY MUCH.

From the Dalton Citizen
The Cordele Dispatch man Saw a
Crisp county farmer the other day with
a check for a few cents above sixty dol
lars which he had received for his past
two weeks cream deliveries at the local
plant" We venture to say that that boil
weevils and hard times never worry that
farmer.-Dawson News.
The farmer who uses his head in his work
gets along as well as anybody else who does
the same thing. All this sob stuff about the
poor, down-trodden farmer" doesn't get the
farmer very much OF anything, and it doesn't
always get the political demagogue the votes
he is looking for

The Violence of Youth.

In Huntington. w Va, three boys, ranging
in age from II TO 10 years, were taken into
custody and another was sought in connec-
ton with the shooting OF a policeman The
boys had engaged in a running fight with
officers when an attempt was made to arrest
them on a charge OF violating the prohibi-
ton laws.
/ In Richmond. KY. white boy OF Is was
shot fatally by a negro after exchanging
shots with his slayer's stepson aged 20. AT
White station. in the same state, a negro OF
/ 10 shot and seriously wounded another Of
his own race.
In Dallas Tex, two boys OF 10 fought a
duel with shot guns as the result OF an ar
gument as to who was the better marksman.
Contributing to the tragedy were several OF
the dueists' companions who provided them
with the weapons and stood watching as they
blazed away at each other. One OF the boys
was terribly wounded perhaps mortally. Most
OF his face was shot away.
These instances are but few that illustrate
the violence of youth in these days OF gun
carrying. rum running, thieving, gambling
and murder They are proof enough that
something is wrong somewhere or these
things would not happen. They did not
happen except in the rarest instances decade
ago. Boys in their teens did not carry revolv-
ers and engage in pursuits fraught with dan
ger Occasionally it happened that youth
committed a capital crime. Today mad youth
engages in violence on par with the adult
Whether this violence OF growing boys is
due to the phase of lie through which hui
mainly is moving or is the result OF patho-
logical conditions degenerate in character is
question If there has been a retrograde move
ment in civilization affecting some elements
OF human LIE the violence, perhaps, could
be accounted for in part. 1t may be that
some family strains are running more strong
ly to violence because OF deplorable down
ward tendency, helped in the descent by I'M
toward circumstances of laWlessness. There
is strong likelihood that youth has bad
amples set before it, in which case adults
would be to blame for the wretched condition.
The possibility, too, that firearms easily
obtained must be taken into consideration. If
revolvers had been barred from the mails
twenty years ago and their sale prohibited
in stores there would not be so many avail
able to these mad, violent boys. Another
thing may be- and probably is the deteriorat-
ing influence on all life of the present satur
MALTA of crime. When growing boys see hui
man life held cheaply they do not hesitate
to take it. Then, the hope of gain surely en-
tiers into the thing. A boy possessed OF and
obsessed with the motive of robbery is a
potential killer, and there is the revolver al
ready weapon He employs it and kills.
1t looks as though men and women who
are the fathers and mothers of growing boys
face the greatest responsibility ever known to-
parenthood. What kind OF citizens will such
youths become2 When one realizes that the
future OF the state will depend upon the
generation now approaching maturity one is
bound to infer that methods of correction are
imperative.

Losses By Flood.
From the Macon News.

The flooding of the rivers in Georgia, due
to the heavy rains of the recent past, gives
a special interest to a general subject We are
told that unpreventabIe losses from the three
great foods and number OF lesser ones
which occurred during the year ending July
r. 1924, are estimated to aggregate 9,5l9-
522 according to the River and Flood Di-
vision of the weather bureau OF the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Unpreventable flood losses are those oc-
curing among growing and matured crops. as
i'm the case of the Canadian river food in Ok
TahoTla in the latter part of 1928. This flood
was caused by two periods of phenomenay
heavy rains lasting almost a month. Notwith-
standing ample and timely warnings given
by the weather bureau the crop loss amount
ed to not less than $15000000 large pro-
portion of the seasons crops had not been
lands were overlooked. Oklahoma suffered
from two other floods during the calendar
year 1923. so that the Canadian and Arkan-
sas river foods brought its total losses up
to about $30,000000
Another food of VERY destructive character
during the fiscal year was that in the Pitts
burgh district of the Ohio river in March,
1924 In this flood rapidly melting SHOWS and
high temperatures played an important part
There were no crops endangered, and the,
timely and accurate flood warnings kept the
losses down to about Sl000000, while the
reported value OF property saved through the
warnings was $l00G0,000.
The third great flood of the year was the
Potomac river food, coincident with the Ohio
river flood under the same Causative int1u-
ences. This flood caused unavoidable dam
age to the extent OF about $6,000O00

The Devil May Get Him.
From the Jackson Progress-A Argus

From the Jackson Progress Argus.
The wise farmer will sow oats and
plenty OF them. The one who has to buy
high-priced feed and fight the boil weevil
next summer will think the devil has
him sure enough. He can avert much ex-
pense worry and trouble by planting
grain and blowing in the cotton stalks.
Dawson News.
The devil or something equally as bad
may get the fellow who has to buy feed and
high-priced fertilizer and try to grow cotton
in spite OF the boil weevil. 1t is not pros
pect to enthuse Over-especia1ly in view Of
prices of cotton today compared with prices
for flour, meat lard, hay and grain.
Plenty OF spring oats, followed with early
corn and forage crops, will help nightly to
tide the farmers over until another harvest
They can make no mistake by planting ev-
cry acre available in feed crops.
Georgias outstanding agricultural problem
is not much the boil Weevil as it is the
failure to grow enough food and feed to
make every farm sef-supporting. The boil
weevil is bad fellow, but he simply doesn't
eat corn, oats, wheat. peas and sorghum. The
failure to produce these commodities in an
abundance cannot be charged to the boil
weevn. The blame rests with the people
themselves. Neither is there any reason to
blame a failure OF food and feed crops on
the dry weather The cause lies elsewhere.
Farmers OF Georgia by making this food
and feed year first OF all will be paving the
way for restoration OF better times.

The lie insurance companies have more
than doubled the amount OF their loans on
farms in the past FIVE years. Farm mortgages
have increased from $59000000 at the end OF
1919 to Sl,781 100000 on September so of last

can be no real prosperity on the farm. II

In the judgment OF curbstone economists
bankers live on the fat OF the land, and never
have troubles The TACT is that no class OF
people have more worries than those who
operate banking institutions. In addition to
their own worries bankers must carry enor-
nous burdens OF other people When banl,
loans money to customer the things that
worry the patron also worry the banker who
holds the note.

Many Of our contemporaries have found
cause for qualification in the fact that there
were only two lynchings in Georgia in 1924.
1t is a record, in view OF the number in the
past, OF which to be proud but there is as
much cause for qualification in the fact that the
number OF unmentionable crimes which incite
mob violence was also very small. The i'm
provement in both respects is creditable to
the state

Buy less-Pay more.

The Swainsboro Forest Blade is authority
els OF Big Stem Jersey sweet potatoes were
sold last week for $500 per bushel This va
ricty is very prolific, yielding more than any
other, says the Forest Blade, which adds
You never miss a crop, and you never miss
market" There is no surer crop than
sweet potatoes, and the wonder is that more
attention is not given them here where they
can be grown so abundantly. A potato cur
ing house at Dawson would make it posi-
bic for the farmers OF this section to grow
and market another money crop.
