BEAT PERFECTION"

Ina some sports, notably golf, the
sta ndards Of theoretical perfection are
surpassed in not few instances. Most
champions have TO beat par nowadays
to gain their crowns.
George Duncan, famous British pro-
fessional, has q tournament record Of
80 for an eigheen-hole round or about
sixteen strokes under the average par
for championship courses. Walter Ha-
gen holds the American competitive
mark with a 62, set in Florida two
years ago, but Harry Cooper shot n
remarkable 90 at Dallas recently.
"Ducky" Yates, Rochester star, holds
the New York state record with a 69.
The one immOvable goal of achieve
ment on the links, however, is the
hole-in-One. Statistics on this may
not be as accurately figured as in
bridge, but a conservative estimate is
that it occurs about once in million
shots. Among the better known stars,
Alex Herd, British professional, holds
the best hand with a record of seven
teen "aces."
:. ACES IN TENNIS.
Tennis has it's own "aces"-perfect
shots-besidGs its love games and sets
as a maximum of accomplishments.

brilliant number two ranking star

witnessed in many a moon, when in

CHAMP REFUSES
To FIGHT IN
NEW YORK

. NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Jack Demp-
sey has crossed New York state off
his pugilistic map. The heavyweight
champion, floored by the New York
State Athletic Commissions latest
edict that he must put up or shut
up" wants to fight Harry Wills but
he doesn't want any Of the lucrative
revenue from such match TO go TO
the Golfers Of the Empire State.
The entire situation, revolving
around q title match between Demp.
sey and Wills. is in q badly tangled
state. The New York Commission
has ruled it will probably suspend any
fighter who meets Dempsey or any
promoter who attempts TO dicker for
his services before he steps up and
signs for match with his negro cbal-
lenger.
ANYWHERE ELSE.
Dempsey now has countered by say
ing he will fight anywhere except in
New York state.
Jack Kearns, who is still under con.
tract as Dempsey's manager, although
the champion has announced his in
tention of transacting his own bust
ness, fired an unexpected broadside at
Dempsey from Chicago yesterday.
Kearns intimated that he would jour
ney on to New York after bit of bus
mess in Chicago is completed and sign
Dempsey for a match with Wills.
Only one fact is sure.fire in the
flood OF threats which have been
bouncing across the continent since
Dempsey stepped up to the New York
Commission and virtually accepted
Wills challenge, and that is that
Dempsey will not meet his negro OPP
ponent until the shades of 1926 have
been lifted.

others the goal is frequently reached,
Luck may figure even in the greatest

The Dawson news., 1925-03-10

The senate recently voted in II minutes
times to increase the salary of its members
from $500 to $4,000, and OF cabinet mem
bers from $4,000 to $4,000 This means an
increased expenditure of $145,000 in one case
and of $4,000 in the other, or a total of
$4,000 of the taxpayers money The house
members followed suit as soon as they had
an opportunity to vote, which will make a
grand total increase in expenditure of ST.
259,5OO, as there are 435 members in the
house. Yet, why worry? The money so ex-
pend will be other peoples money. Be it
said to his credit Mr. Crisp, the member
from this district, voted against the increase,
Tor which he has the commentator OF his
constituents
President Coolidge might have been count
ed on to veto the bills, and save the money, if
senators and representatives would not get
back at him and spend even more OF the
peoples money in some other way. The pres
ident cannot afford to antagonize congress
any more than he is compelled to, for he
must have its cooperation to carry out ad-
ministration policies.
Congress is appropriatng in all more than
three billions of other peoples money!
pretty large amount for peace times Beside
1t million looks pretty small, and is; yet
II there ever is to be reduction of govern
ment expenditures economy will at first per-
tain to thousands. Economy will come in
congress only when people direct congress
more explicitly how to spend their money.

Drive Him From the Death Bed.
From the Bainbridge Post-Searchlight.

President Coolidge has announced his OPP
position to the inheritance tax. This damnabe
thing ought to be repealed, both federal and
state, and the president has shown himself a
strong man to oppose It, Surely this state
and government ought to be willing to tax
the living but leave the citizen alone alter
he gets in the grave yard 1t is a sorry pict-
ure to see a family gathered around the death
bed of the father and in the background see
the tax collector lowering like thing OF Ill
omen to grab his part for the state. Surely
the state is not so poor that it must invade
the undertakers shop to get blood money to
run the government! A man starts out III
life works hard because he has a family OF
children and wife that he loves; they slim
ulate him. He works to get something for
them He spends his life struggling to lay
aside a few dollars so that his loved ones
won't be on the world when he dies and
when death does take him the state and fed
eral government steps in and grabs what he
has made takes it from those that he labored
for Any man that makes his money has a
right to leave it to his loved ones. 1t doesn't
get off the tax books. 1t pays right there
but the state wants a double tax. 1t is the
most horrible example of barbarism that
we have any record Of and we are glad to
see our president human enough to want it
done away with. Pure, unadulterated cussed-
ness and envy were responsible tor this law.
Agitators of the LaFollette type put it on
because they thought they would rob the
children of the rich OF their lawful inherit
ance, but among the folks they have robbed
are the poor and middle class. If man is
very rich he can give his children a great
deal while living and dodge this tax, but if
he is not he has to keep what he has intact
to operate and then when he dies in hops
the tax gatherer. This bill ought to be re-
pealed, and an effort will be made to make
the Georgia legislature repeal this thing
If we are going to have socialism let's do so
without and sugar coating, but don't invade
the death room The state is too big for that.

Why Georgia Goes Slowly.
From the Savannah Press.


The Savannah Press does not believe that
the present row of the State Highway Com
mission will interfere seriously with road
of the payrolls have been padded and that
people are connected with the commission
who should not be connected with it will
probably be righted. The governor OF Geor-
gia has it in his power to deal with this mat
ter and not look upon it as a political con-
troversy between two men.
The people of Georgia are not ready yet
to vote a big issue of road bonds. This may
not show any want of confidence in the COM
mission. The time may come when they will
pass a small bond issue which would be "a
step in the right direction"
Major John S. Cohen, who recently deliv-
cred an address in Albany, Ga, declared that
he was not in favor of tremendous bond
issue" The people are not ready for it and
not able to endorse it. Major Cohen declared
that "if all OF the funds received from the
automobile license tax were applied to the
building Of permanent highways, together
with the federal aid funds, tremendous prog
ress could be made"
This thing of building public highways is
too important to be set back by any dssen-
sion in the road commission. Surely men
can be found competent to administer this
trust and certainly no man or set OF men
must be allowed to stand in the way OF inn
portant steps which the people OF Georgia
might take.
No state can make progress without a sys-
tenn of permanent highways. Georgia has
proceeded conservatively on this line, and in
view of all the facts she will probably pur
sue her present policy OF building roads and
of paying as she goes.

The Meat in the Egg.

The Winder News tells of Barrow coun-
month of January off Of his poultry while
most of his neighbors were sitting around
waiting for the ground to get dry enough to
plow." Another farmer, in Colquitt County,
down here in South Georgia, is reported to
have sold $304,50 worth of eggs in one week.
That's pretty good, especially when it is
considered that the poultry industry in Geor-
gia is in its infancy 1t does not, how
ever, compare with the income from this
source OF Jasper Haines, a Centerville, Iowa,
farmer who, according to the Cedar Rapids
Gazette, receives $500 a month from the
products OF his poultry. He has equipped
his chicken house with two stoves and cleo
trio lights. He gives his hens an artificial
sunrise al in the morning and rings his
curfew at at night His hens work in an
''open shop They lay an average of 367
eggs day. Mr.. Haines has been getting an
average of 90 cents dozen for his eggs in
the New York market Mr. Hanes knows
just how to mix his mash, bran, charcoal,
ground oats and other feeds He has not
given his hens any radio concerts, but he
does keep them dry warm and cheerfully
active.
These Georgia and Iowa men are not agi-
tating for government loans for the egg in
dustry. They are making a success of their
business without congressional assistance

Farmer and Cream Checks.
From the Cordele Dispatch.

The Cordele Dispatch man saw
Crisp county farmer the other day with
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 boil wee
wills and hard times never worry that
farmer-Dawson News.
The farmer who uses his head in his
work gets along as we'll as anybody else
who does the same thing All this stuff
about the poor, down-trodden farmer"
doesn't get the farmer very much of any
thing, and it doesn't always get the po-
itical demagogue the votes he is look
ing for.-Dalton Citizen.
We are constantly reminding our farmer:
that the cream check is the one steady meth
cd of financing the farm. Many, many farms
in this section are running today ON the
cream checks. They are small-not like sew
eral bales of cotton all in one wad-but they
come twice a month and the money keeps
the farm going This is the one, lone income
on the farm today in cash.
We could have car loads of big fat hogs
to go to market, but we haven't any toe
many. We could have five or six dairy cat
tie to the plow-and a steady money income
as increased for the farmer who has the feed
for the cattle and the hogs. Those who are
willing to work are finding this so true that
they are sticking to it.
The farmer who will go after the cows in
the right manner will have his steady income
and will not have to concern himself about
credits and financing at a disadvantage. II
makes it possible to pay the Cash-and drive
d bargain every time. He isn't such poor
down trodden farmer, if he has some cream
checks coming in regularly every month
