Interest is what makes the poo
man what he is.
The League of Nations will hav<
no jurisdiction in the matter of tres
passes by your neighbor's chickens.
When we commence setting of
the twelve-acres-to-the-plow even
man will be his own surveyor.
When the income tax returns be
gin to come in, it may seem tha1
there has already been a reductior
in acreage.
Answer to query: The dime yov
put in the collection on last Sunday
cannot be deducted from your thi)
year's income tax return.
Those people who were so anxious
to contribute something to goo(
roads may still do so by hauling i
load of top soil and filling some oi
the holes in the roads. The legisla
*ture enacted no law forbidding then
to do so.
\ Concerning the League of Nations
Senator Lodge says that if the cove
nants of the proposed league will no
tand discussion, they are unfit fo:
adoption, and if on the other ham
they are fit for adoption, discussioi
will only strengthen them. All o:

If the City Council would build i
band-stand, it might save the cost o:
building a garage for the For<
Truck. Why could the truck not bi
stabled under the band-stand? Th<
Council should also buy a Fordsoi
Tractor. We will need it next win
ter when we undertake to pull th<
Fire Truck out of the mud. A Coun
cil which stands for economy in pub
lie expenditures like our presen
council should lose no time in adopt
ing these suggestions.
COOLING TIME.
Those people who have been writ
ing and wiring Governor Coopei
asking that an extra session of th<
General Assembly be called, mus1
think that the Governor does nol
wish to run again.
The Governor is not foolish. Th?
General Assembly has just adjourn'
ed . Every possible effort was made
' to secure the passage of good roads
legislation, but nothing was accomplished.
It is hardly possible thai
the members who so recently votec
against this proposed legislation have
changed their minds so soon.
We have been a long' time without
the good roads which we an
now promised. If the good roads
movement is right, it will wait anc
bear discussion. The issue will liv<
if it should live, and as it involves
the expenditure of many millions oj
dollars in this state, it deserves th<
fullest consideration, and plenty oj
time for that purpose. It will no1
<10 to vote bonds in haste and repenl
at leisure.
There are many questions yet t<
be settled, after it has first been de
cided that the toads are to be built
Matters of the supposed benefits t(
accrue, and the people entitled t(
these benefits, as well as the kin<
of construction, materials, and la
bor are to be considered. We shal
not lose anything, we think, if w(
give the people time to think aboul
all these things, after cooling time..
No better proof of the coneluSioi
stated could be asked than the fad
that the advocates of bond issues foi
the construction of these 'Jro&fliT<
not agreed among themselves as tc
the methods to be adopted, nor as tc
ifea to U built
'$? r '*. .
/V . .. . ,
The original idea was to have a
. system of county-to-county highways
' to be built by the state, but when it
was called to the attention of the
. public that such a system would
really not improve the transportation
facilities of the people generally, it
became necessary for some of the
7 advocates of the roads to abandon
advocacy of this system.
The same general question but in
- another form has given rise to a;
J controversy between the News and.
Courier and the Index-Jounal. The
former contends that the roads
j should be built as one system, or in j
other words, that there should be a
1 |
str.te system, while the Index-Journal
D contends that the county should be
the authority which shall contract
for the construction of the roads/
Manifestly, if the number of people
. to be served is the turning point, or!
if the matter of giving the people;
r i
better marketing facilities, or a bet-!
: ter way to reach the markets is to1
be considered, then these roads
3 i
should be built by the counties. If i
on the other hand we shall take
thought of those people who desire j
to swing around the state, or go to I
j the mountains, or to that part of the !
^'traveling public which seeks to visit,
| the larger places in the state, or to!
j manufacturers desiring to ply their j
" I trade between the towns, the News^
^iand Courier is right. It is all a
^question of who is to be served, and
j largely a question of whether the
j roads are to be built for one purl\
pose, or for an entirely different purT
pose.
s| Until all the matters are settled
between the advocates of the roads,
those who desire to go slow, and to
3 be sure that no mistake is being
1 made, may wait awhile before tak*
ing action.

SEEING THE SIGHTS.
I
Miss Carrie Cochran, who is the
best typesetter in the city, went over
. to Atlanta on Saturday for the day.
t She was accompanied by her little
p! sister, Hannah, who went along to
j see the tall buildings, to ride on the
j! street cars, and to take a look at the
f bear out at Grant's Park. She had
a already seen a big newspaper plant,
having been in the office of the Press
| and Banner several times when we
J were getting off our semi-weekly
f editions.
j| Little Miss Hannah enjoyed herJ
self extensively. She rode on the
21 street cars until the money set apart
j | for that purpose was entirely exhausted.
She liked the cars fine but
; she fell out with one of the conduc-l
tors when he refused to stop his car
long enough for her to get off at a
t soft drink stand and take a pink
. i lemonade. The tall buildings also
pleased her, but she was greatly |
' worried about what became of the
smoke as she went all around one of
them and could not find the chimney.
But the old bear was too much for
" the little girl, because when she hapr
pened to step too near the cage he
1 reached out and got the red apple
^ which she had been carrying around
^ all morning. As the First Reader
says, "This made her very angry."
5 She liked the monkeys though. Jump"
ing from limb to limb, they reminded
5'her of some editors, while the lazyP!
