Don’t believe everythinj? you hear —except the whistle of a locomotive at a (Trade crossintc. It’s come to that place in the fur business where the word “squirrel’ covers a multitude of skins. Political indications are that’there Will be a number of wet candidate* with nothing to sit on but dry planks in 1928. . Science now tells us that man has been intelligent for 450,000 years— which will be news to a lot of marked women. Developments in the Fall-Sinclair jury-bribing case lead us to believe that even jury seats are now in the hands of speculators. Without any authentic statistics or l census at hand we would say that the principal lines of business in the Uni ted States at this time are beauty parlors and filling stations.

It has been* estimated that Wall Street is to stuff its employees’ Christmas stockings with some fifty million dollars in bonuses, having en joyed such a prosperous year. ‘ Yes, the same Wall Street that fights tooth and nail against all Farm Re lief measures. Massies. r Mitchell — Magruder — Summc-. all. Remember those three names They represent a gnsat truth con- esrning our national defense. In the air—on*the sea—and on land. We have just witnessed the Aral chapter in the public disciplining and humiliation of one of the above trio for telling the people what he« thougnt was the matter with his department. Brigadier-General Mitchell, Assist ant Chief of the Army Air Service, was two years ago dropped from his command and demoted for telling how the Army and Navy bureaucrats wwe throttling the infant air service. Maj.-Gen. Chartaa P. Summerall, highest ranking officer of the U. S. Army, was summoned back to Wa.vi- ington in the midst of an inspection tour of army barracks because he said at San Djrgn, Cm MV ap.GejaAfar “I hpve seen German prisoners housed in |>etter quarters tty»n our American soldiers are now occupying.” His criticism was agarftst a niggardly Congress which keeps our soldie s quartered in Ifovejs.that would not be tolerated in a logging camp. Admiral T. P. Magruder wrote an article for a magazine in which he said we were spending three hundred million dollars a year for a two hun dred million dollar navy—which did not include the appropriations for new ships. He was relieved of his post, ordered to Washington, and now is “awaiting orders,” which likely means he will have nothing to do but warm his heels until thu retirement age cieeps up on him. Isn’t it about time such high-hand ed dictatorship methods were ended? There is no place for Mussolini tac tics in running the American army, navy and air service. Sacrifices of men like Mitchell, Magruder and Summerall are unnecessary, wrong and dangerous. They serve notice to all army and navy and air officers that they must remain muzzled—o*. risk their careers. Such procedure bars the only relia ble source of criticism and improve ment in our national defense—criti cism from the inside. Never before has such a sale been attempted in Georgia! Never before hive we been able to furnish such wonderful values, nor have we purchased iij siich tremendous quantities as we have for this sale. Tire Christmas Dollar Day Sale last year was a memorable occasion—customers coming from almost every town and village for one hundred miles, and returning laden with purchases made at almost unbe- 8 lievably low prices. The total sales were almost dou ble in volume our previous largest clay’s business. This year we are planning to add at least 50 per cent to the sale of last year! Note Carefully:—While the event is primarily a Dollar Day Sale, we realize that there will be many out- of-town customers particularly who will be interested in merchandis at other prices. We have therefore provid ed many items at more or less than a dollar, and these will be JUST AS GREAT VALUES AS THE DOLLAR ITEMS. See list of these specials in Dollar Day ads appearing in both Augusta papers. .

A large percentage of farmers have already killed the cotton stalks However, there are many that have not. Benefit can yet be received by destroying stalks at once, along .with • cleaning up hedge rows and ditch banks and all nearby rubbish in which boll weevils will likely hibernate. This cleaning up is the most import ant tiling at this time, because nmt year’s-crop will suffer a larger dam age if we have not reduced as far as possible the number of weevils to come out next Spring. Now is the time to prepare our land which has a great dial of organic mat ter to be turned under. This land should b«i broken and harrowed ns early as possible in order that the peas. t>eans, etc., will Rave ample time to decompose. If such land is pre pared now for planting cotton next year, a uniform stand will be secured much earlier and the crop will he found to grow off more quickly. Th<. home orchard is of much value to the farm and we should plan now to care for it by properly pruning and ! spraying. If yqy have no fruit trees of any consequence, a new orcha'd may be set at a very small cost.] Let’s have better home orchards in Barnwell County. While the farmers are not so very busy at'this time, a good poultry house should be built and plans and specifications may be secured without r friends at the Friendship Baptist Church, of which he had been a mem ber for many years, the fumsral ser vices being conducted by his pastor, the Rev.
