BIackshear Man
Says John Holder
Should Not Resign

Atlanta, Ga.-The Atlanta Journal
zonday printed letter from A. 2.
Brantley of Blackshear, prominent
South Georgia business man. express
ing the opinion that John Holder
should not resign as chairman of the
highway department because he is
candidate for governor. The letter
follows:
Noting the suggestion in Sundays
paper by a candidate for governor
that John N. Holder should resign as
chairman of the state highway BOARD,
l want to say that this appears to be
as cheap politics. 81 -
Personally, l think it would be a
calamity for Mr.. Holder to resign as
chairman of the state highway board.
Mr.. Holder has made a very able
chairman and Georgia will be fortu-
nate indeed if his equal can be found
when he retires from this position.
eff he should be elected governor
he will naturally have an insight into
highway matters superior to that eft
any other citizen Of Georgia, and for
this reason alone he should be elected
governor, even if he were not in
every way entirely qualified for the
responsible position of governor of
the state of Georgia.

THE BEST CITY

There are some folks so constituted that II
YOU put them into the highest class communl-
ty in America they would look at its instltu-
tons and privileges in a deprecating sort OF
way and you'd always be criticizing the fauits
they would discover there
They would be constantly remarking that
if they could do as they chose they would go
elsewhere, but they merely stay on because
they have Job or business relations there. or
conditions prevent their removal.
And there are some who, if placed in any
old ordinary town where there is nothing out
of the usual, will yet love it and say 1t is the
best place on earth.
They will be such loyal friends that they
attract affection. They will feel such deep
attachment to community where these ties
exist that they wouldgnot exchange this en-
vironment for anything else that could be of
fered them.
We have many such folks, here. Through
their loyalty and devotion VIE have built up a
community that does have much more than Its
share of modern benefits and pleasant expe-
riences.

"DoN,Ts" FOR SWIMMERS

Now that summer weather has arrived, the
chances are it will remain for quite wnlle
And as long as we have warm weather. the
bathing resorts will be popular.
When one goes, or prepares to CO. into the
water, several things are to be considered
Some of them are condensed by Hyglea' the
health magazine. into the following don U.s.
Don't 90 in where there is no life guard
Don't go beyond your depth; the best SWIM
mers get cramps Don't go bathing less than
two hours after eating, Don't go alone. Don
struggle against an undertow if you are
caught; go with it and call for help. Dom
wade with your hands above your heao'
You'll go down like a plummet in deep water
Don't yell Help" unless you need It, Remenl-
Der the boy who called wolf. Don't drink
liquor and then go bathing. Don't forget you
are endowed with common sense Use 1t!
There will be long list of bathing resort
fatalities for the present summer, as there nave
been in every summer for long time. NO
person who goes in swimming expects 70
drown. Those who go. bathing expect 10 re-
turn safely, but not all Of them do.
AS Hygiea states, one needs to have ooth
and to use common sense when it comes to the
enjoyment of water sports in the good olo
summer time.

WAGES AND PROFITS

Even child can understand that there must
be profits made in any business or 1t VIII De
abandoned. If Uncle Sam could not make
enough money in the government business ne
would have to retire and turn his shop over to
a king or a soviet.
This thought was emphasized in recent
address by Owen D. Young, who helped
Europe get on the financial basis of a going
concern. In his opinion, a highly profitable
business is not necessarily one opposed to pub;
lie interest, and it is not necessary to apologize
for concerns that make profits, if they are hon.
est and render good service.
He asked why an Improbable concern
should be permitted to use our labor or our
capital, neither of which is so abundant that
we can afford to waste them
This brings up the general American idea,
that we are successful people, that success Is
normal and failure is abnormal Success is

paralyzing, government investigation into
the operation of business rendering pubic

wastes capital and labor?

has discovered that period OF general gooo
wages is the period of highest prosperity.
Continually we are coming to understand that
not brief periods, but steady and general
policy should dominate the rate OF wages.

A GREAT CELEBRATION

Monday was a red letter day for Fitzgerald
The old time popularity of our little CITY WIN
the people of the adjacent territory was well
evidenced in the thousands of people from
Coffee Irwin. Telfair, Turner, Wilcox and far
awav counties, assembling here to take part IN
the independence day celebration and to en-
ioy the hospitality of the city. The great mass
of people coming from these more distant
counties, demonstrate the possibility OF ex-
tending our trade territory to these outlying
sections, through concerted efforts OF our
home business institutions. The city Is IN
debted to the many people who contributed IN
various ways towards making success OF the
dav so many that we may not be able to DO
iustice to all. so we mention no individuals,
Int want to express the communitys appre-
citation to the members of the Womans club,
who engineered the parade and secured the
cooneration of civic organizations and indivld-
uals in decorating floats and cars; to'the Jul
Nor Chamber of Commerce, to whom the city
was indebted for the fireworks display; to the
Lions club which fed the multitude, MADE
possible through the liberal contributions OF
money by the banks and business men OF the
city: to the excellent Community Band, With
out whose assistance the day would have been
practically an impossibility and to the spien-
did cooperation of the many ladies who gave
their time and effort during the day at the
mark in helping to feed the hungry and give
drink to the thirsty.
The spirit of cooperation was wonderful TO
behold and it would be well if our organlza-
tons could in some way find means and OPP
portunities to keep this magnificent public as
set active for the development OF the city and
county.
Last but not least. we want to commend our
Chief of Police and his efficient force for the
exr client manner in which they controlled the
heavy traffic during the day and the orderly
co. duct Of the thousands of visitors and nome
folks.

State Buildings for

Washington. D. c., man. Robert n.
Harper, would take the foI4R of a
campaign to- induce each state of the
union to erect building at the nat
ionaI capitol, which might serve as q
social centre fov visitors and as an
exhibition hall. The idea seems
good. The states should welcome a
plan to keep in permanent exhibit the
attractions and advantages of their
cwn commonwealth. Not one but
would have some superior product,
special industry or climatic advan-
tags that it ;,gQRld be1proud to make
prominent. A place that seems like

and a hall for banquets or other sen-
tertainnent would ell a particular

CALIFORNIA CHURCH SLOGAN

Slogans have come into usage everywhere
ard the advertising value of wen-selected
slogan has been found worth something to all
classes of business men, as we'll as to the polit-
ical campaignexs.
The best thing which has been noticed IN
the way of slogan recently was used In the
advertising of certain church in California
why not come to church before they bring
you in hearse?"
Most of us are eventually brought to some
church in hearse, and somebody ordinarily
makes speech over our dead bodies and tells
the people how good we were.
This churchs slogan is sure to have pull
ing power if it is widely enough circulated.
Certain it is that it will set most anybody
thinking.

PATRIOTISM
AN OPEN LETTER TO THE
PEOPLE

During the public exer les, in our
eity's independence Day ebration,
Monday, the 5th, visitor your city
was present, representing another
a candidate now before the people
and asked the privilege for a few
minutes.
Had the occasion been an altogeth-
er political one, rather than. as it was,
chiefly patriotic, his right to speak on
the League of Nations or the World
Court could not have been with pro-
priety questioned; but his speech ran
to the extreme of criticising, if not
abusing our Government, for some Of
its world-war-time measures, express
ing with fiery zeal his unappreciation
of and objection to food conservation
during the world war.
1t was on this point that ! openly
charged the speaker with disloyalty.
Whether food restrictions were
necessary since the war terminated SO
early, is not question. Sufficient
for every true patriot that it seemed
at the time wise. and it was in the
right spirit Of. true patriotism wesob-
served it-and respect it today.
In the hours Of trial, then and now
Right or Wrong, My Country
and this blood SO strongly surges thru
our veins that such harsh criticism as
was then made we cannot submit to
going without challenge.
let all men know assuredfy that
freedom of speech, set forth in the
great Declaration of Independence,
which was read by me, is not by true
patriots to be construed as license to
any one to ridicule the wartime
measures or policies of our great
government.

The old game of politics. hoary with age
and fettered by tradition, undergoes few
changes. 1t is played just as it was played a

Lengthen Living, Shorten
Dying

All must die even though they be-
come day by day in every way better
and better. DR.. Emil Coue, famous
for his famous chanting health slo-
gan has passed on. This is no refiec-
ton on the efficacy of his doctrine
of auto-suggestion. 1t is decreed
that all men should die, but it is
largely in our own hands whether we
should remain half-dead while we
live. Too many people still attribute
their bodily ills to providence and do
not seek the cause in their own UNI
healthful habits of living. Others
find a morbid satisfaction in making
the most of the ills they have. When
people ageta,in this mental condition lt
we often say that Christian Science
would do them good. What we more
accurately might advise is auto-sug-
eestion. DIR. Coue was not without
honor in his two tours of this coun-
try, being invited to demonstrate his
theory in many American clinics. He
made no false claim to be scientist
though he was, an expert pharmacist
and had experience as a medical in
terne in the towns Of France where
he lived many years, obscurely. His
formula has value in drilling opti-
rnisn into those who accept it. The
world needs this and SO we may feel
that Coue's theory and influence have
been of worldwide benefit. Perhaps
his countryme nwill build nonu-
ment to hia some day, when the ac-
ton Of the sub-conscious mind is Bet
ter understood.

Though not so prominent in the

York, Americas outstanding world
war hero, has been busy. with his
quest, expressed with all sincerity
when at the zenith of public notice
just at the close Of the war. This
ambition was and is to see an indus
trial school near his native mountain
home in Tennessee, where the hill
children may have the opportunity
that he lacked TO obtain a practical
education free of cost. Though Of
fered q spectacular career in the
movies or vaudeville with larger
remuneration. York had no desire to
capitalize on his record as q Soldier,
but in more manly way to take ad-
vintage Fof friendships won and !. his
good standing to pursue in a more
legitimate way the use of the lecture
platform to put before people his
plea for better educational privileges
for the mountain children. He start
ed his campaign IN 1920. Now he is
very near the goal. The Tennessee
legislature appropriated $4,000 and
different land gifts total 400 acres.
Now there are around 100000
ready to build the first unit of the
institution which is designed to meet
practical needs for the class of peo-
pie in mind. The school will not be
a university but academic and voca-
tional in scope and splendidly
