Authors argue rural areas should buy cotton goods to lift prices and forecast a strong comeback for Georgia farmers this year.
The citizens of Butts county and Jackson urge joint planning to improve their separate school systems. A united approach could choose a county high school or another effective plan. Since a supreme court decision last summer both systems face handicaps. A mass meeting of all residents is proposed to discuss open and honest cooperation.
The Progress Argus denounces outside dictation in the Newton Jasper murder case. It condemns Governor Dorsey and Atlanta committees for dictating prosecutions, calls for fair trials by local juries, and urges respect for county sovereignty and impartial justice.
The piece notes a political revolution in Georgia and links it to rising crime. It cites editorials from the Marietta Journal and Greensboro Health Journal, arguing freedoms were mistaken for license and that society has seen an increase in crime as people gain political power.
A short nostalgic poem from the Wayeress Journal Herald praising Bohunkus as fair and honest. It notes he did not profiteer and died last year, leaving a reputation for integrity and kind conduct. The verse humorously frames his demise as the reason for the praise.
The Augusta Chronicle urges national action to cut fire waste through care and simple precautions. It notes 1920 fire losses of 300 million dollars and 15 000 lives lost, blaming carelessness and calling for cooperation to reduce risks.

The piece condemns theorists Wilmer and Ashby Jones and the interracial committee as powerless to settle the race problem, urging action by those who value law and order.

Georgia Experiment Station urges sowing collard seeds in late May or early June to curb green worm and harlequin bug damage.
