We are glad the board of trusteesg
of the Ségtc College of Agriculture
g 0 generously backed up Dr. Soule
by giving him' the right side of the
salary decision, We should not like
to see such a public seryant handi
capped with attacks on his salary.
The farmers understand that they
need cold weather, and yet the
mere suggestion of snow, sleet and
cold wave somehow is not just the
thing we would have. And why
should we ask for anything differ
ent from this very fine weather?
We have a Christmas present from
Ernest «Camp up at Monroe which he
is pleased to call “Autumn Leaves’’
It is a short collection of his best in
prose and poetry—all in a neat little
pocket edition, We shall treasure it
an expression of the best in thc au
thor—the good that is in him
measured to us in print,
Th schools are closed for the holi
days and the Cordele contlhgent is
back home for the fun and frolic of
the season. This town has ' the
largest number of boys and girls off
in college of any community of its
size anywhere—we have every rea
son to believe. i
The weather Friday night follow
ing the pred ¢...n of snov fer this‘
area Saturday ‘ertainly was .mild
and ideal for an hour so near to lew
temperatures. The weather man
missed one cold wave recently. 1t did
not get here. When this is written
there is every promise again that hls‘
guess has gone wrong. & |

This community niost surely appre-!
ciates Louis Roobin as a city com
missioner in the service he hag thus
rendered the public for the past two
vears. No, one will deny that he has
been sincere in his duty to the pub
lic and progressive in his aims, It is
a cred t Yor ary town to have such a
man in public office. He has justly
won the esteem in which he fs held
here. : ;
S
The deinocratci party—so far as
principle %ges,-f_is all right, Some of
the mbdern leaders would include
a religious controversy have not that
true regard for it they should mani
fest. When the democracy of the
country -rises above the differences
which have grown out of the Catho
liec and Protestant clash during the
rast summer, we may bhe able to
take nourishment and get back into
the fighting again. But until we have
sense enough to know that the fire
should be directed at the enemy and
not at each otehr, we cannot win.
A SINISTER REFLECTION
The expenses and exasperations
of post-wfa?r travel with passports
are gradi_'all_v being reduced for ev
erybody eéxcept Americans.
B‘eginni&)g December 1, British sub-
Jjeets, for!only seven shillings six
pence, can obtain passports wvalid
for five years from the date of issue
No visasgat all will be required for
visiting g_moat of the continental
ronggries to which the English go in
large ulubfbers. The Briton simply
ruts his $1.75 passport in his pocket
and W'E' the channel. For an ex-
’tra five shillings he can have his
passport extended to ten years.
His 'lot is a lucky one compared to
that of the American traveling
abroad. First of all the American
must pay his own government $lO
to get a passport which expires in 12
months and cannot be extended for a
'perlod longer than two years from
’the date of issue., Then fox; Eae}l;‘
country he visits, except Mfiga
‘and and Belgium, he must payf:' an
\oiher $lO for a visa. M
~ The American is merety an Inno
cent bystander suffering from a ‘l_u-,1
tle game of retaliation against ' Ms‘
government. When the United ‘states‘
begap charging $lO fo r visa to visit
America foreign nations, instead of
turning the other ;»heek, gave the
Yankee wallet a wallop by charging
Americans $lO each to cross their
frequent frontiers. As not infre.
quently happens, Eurore comes out
ahead in this llttle'game. Only a
few thousand Europeans vigit Amerl
ca each year, while teng of thousands
of Americans tour Europe and most
of them pay from $2O to $5O each
for visas.
The Liberal British press, and
the people it represents, seems de
voutly to long for the good old days
of no passports at all, considering
them, now that the war is over, “a
sinister reflection on a peaceful
land.’? 7
HATCHERY FUTURE
The local hatchery sold sixty
two thousand chicks off the early
spring hatches this year—sold most
of them in Alahama and Florida ana
other states, The eggs from which
these were hatched came from a
distance—not out of the local com.
‘munity. Those who tried r.?ultry
this year and bought the feed
which ‘they used lmve' com:plained‘
‘that the business is far too ex
pensive. They are disappointed anq
quitting.
That is not the fate which should
overtake poultry raising in Crisp
\county. ‘Those who were at it ought
"5 have had experienced help. 1t
could have been had for a small
cost to each grower and the burden
would not have been felt. Poultry
iretnrns would "have justified that.
But nobody wanted to listen to
{Umt kind of advice.
Now'therc is another thing which
must be stressed. For those who
intend to go on with the business
this word must be said-—there can
be no profits for an inexperienced
raiser of poultry when that person
has to buy the feed, Those who
know how can buy feed and stay
head, but those who are trying to
learn may expect to lose.
The problem of poultry feed can
be settled as easily as can that for
the dairy cow. Sun flower seed,
wheat, rye and oats are easily
Brown as anything here, The fence
Jams on the place wil produce all
the sunflower seed nee¢ded for g
large flock. But haphazard, run
down-at-the-heel methods will pot
get the feed for the chickens and
thus keep all the returns, 5
The local hatchery is going again
outside the range of local poultry
people to get €ggs when that ought
not to be necessary. People have
the pure strain hens, put they have
no pure strain eggs at the right
ltime. That hurts, That means
losses here, Poultry profits are pos
lsi}‘lo. Let's have them,

ished—Governor Walker,
] Governor Walker made this ag
sertion in connection with hig re.
'fu.eal to commute the sentences of
sBloodwt‘n’th and Jones, the two
Yung men who murdereq Howard r.
Underwood in Taylor county for his
money. The date of their execution
is early in January—there is ample
time for those who shed tears over
such criminals to go after him funl
forece. There is little doubt that he
is expecting it, even hearing from
them now.
We are looking for him to stand
by his decision, These youthful slay
ers have a slim chance to escape
the consequences of a cold-blooded
crime. It is pathetic enough, but the
safety of a human life depends on
our firm dealing with the criminal,
There wll be ‘less of such crme
‘when the offender gets his just
deserts, : vsy ; =4
The day the state causes the
triminal to understand that death
awaits him when he becomes a mur
-derer, will see the hardened c¢rimi--
nal find himself afraid to Tly his
trade—and only fear deters the
criminally inclined. Principle does
not weigh—honor and integrity are
unknown traits in the character of
the criminal. Why be so considerate
of him? The fear of 'punishment is
the only thing that checks him. If
there is nothing to fear, why should
he count human life anything in ply
ing hig trade?
The governor has the right view of
it. The only further word we would
have to say is that stern justice
should wield a hand until crime has
been checked. The murderer in
England ‘does not escape. iAs a result
there are less murders in the whole
British dominion in a year than in
the city of New Yofk alone. Punish
ment of crime is necessary.
WHAT LIQUOR DOES
Two cases in Macon recently re
mind us once more that there can he
no safety for those who have ‘come
in touch with a drink-crazed man.
An old man was transformed into a
fiend on the liquor a friend brought
his wife to put into the fruit cake—
and he came so nearly ending her
life in an attack on her, that he went
off to Miami and killed himself in
a rooming house while the officers
were hunting him,
Another just the other night went
crazy and tried to slay everything
in sight. He killed one man, tried to
slay his young wife and then sought
to get her mother. Now he is said
to have been crazed on bootleg liq
uor of the meanest type. Men who
do that may expect trouble. The
safest way is to leave the kind of
liquor men have to accept in this
day entirely off the list. We might
well conclude that anything is better
than cheap bootleg liquor—any
thirst, any condition, and any future.

THE SCANDAL MONGER
Waycross Georgian- !
Would that we might Lave a ‘nwl
against gossiping as w 2 nave aguainst
stealing.. As Shakespeare says: *“He
who steals my purse steals trash;
but he who robs me of my good
name robs me of that which enriches
him not, but makes me poor iudee(l."}
False witness destroys the whole |
‘man, body, soul and spirit. ‘This
isplrit of gossipis the peculiar temp
tation and sin of otherwise respec
:lable people, * & # Q;}!’B“
~ May God seal our lips in the
ivhurch. in society and elsewhere,
‘that we may never say anything
iabout anybody unless we can say
something kind; that we may never
lwouml the sensitive spirit, nor of
;!'en(l the tender heart.
It is an unfortunate fact that ev
ery community possesses its full quo
ta of those threatening menaces of
modern civilization—the scandal
monger and the gossiper. The spend
their time spreading not the gospel
of “good will toward men,” but in
bearing false witness against their
neighbors, uttering wherever they‘
find listening ears some evil gossip
concerning another. We do not feel
we are unfair when we say that any
community will be better off when
these people pass to their future
punishiment. If one cannot say some
thing decent about & meighbvor it
better tp remain with sealed lips.
Nothing is gained by promiscuous
discussion of the alleged fanits of
another, and too often is the accuser
more guilty than the one accused.

facturers of cane syrup. The new
method does away with this unde
sirable feature, making it possible to
producé a product which is ot
liable to sour and which, though
thicker than the old-time sorghum
molasses, will not crystalize.
The making of golden syrup has
been greatly simplified, doing away
with the necessity for using granu
'ated sugar. By the use ‘of invertase
it is now possible to make ma:,ple‘
syrup of highr density without
danger of sugaring. It is also possi
ble to produce maple sugar of finer
texture, without the sandy feel and
without the tendehc} to become
“spotted.”” Maple cream by this
process is made smoother and more
resistant to fermentation and syrup
will not separate out on standi'ilg. .
A number of manufacturers are
now twurning out invertase for com
mercial use.
