The Election Next Tuesday.
Next Tuesday, November 4th.
there will be an electiou in Hous
ton, as well as throughout Geor
gia and all other states of the
union, for Representative in the
58th cougress. .
It is the earnest desire of our
nominee and other leading demo
crats .that a large vote.be polled.
The papers for holding the elec
tion and the tickets have ^beeu
sent to the preoincts, and the size
of the total vote depends entirely
upon the interest manifested by
the people.
Voting is a duty, and in this
instance it is no less binding be
cause there is no opposition to
Mr. Lewis in the election. The
preoincts are so situated that, no
voter will be obliged to go furth
er than about five miles.
Three timeB Mr. Lewis has been
elected to represent the third dis
trict of Georgia in the federal
congress, and the fourth election
is now upon ub. This certainly is
evidence that his service has been
satisfactory, and surely we should
show our appreciation by some
thing in the neighborhood of a
full vote.
Under similar circumstances
the lamented Crisp, then our
honored Representative, was sub
ject to mortification in congress
because of the very light vote by
whioh he was elected. The re
publicans claimed that the light
vote was an evidence of suppres
sion, or fraud of some kind, and
insisted that Mr. Crisp was not
entitled to a seat in congress.
Let us not put this humiliation
upon Mr. Lewis.
Going to the polls next Tues
day will not involve any materi
al sacrifice, and only a "few hours
of time.
The expense of a large vote will
not be greater than a small vote.
The managers and clerks of each
precinct are paid per diem, and
the size of the vote at the several
precincts will not have any effect
upon the amount to be paid.
Over fourteen hundred Houston
democrats are entitled to vote—
all who registered for the pri
mary—and at least 1.000 of these
should cast their ballots next
Tuesday.
Let each of us determine to ex
ercise the privilege and duty of
voting, and we will be proud of
the vote, and the party will be
benefited.
In The County Court.
Four criminal cases were tried
County Court last Wednesday.
Three were convicted and one re
leased.
Wes Moore was tried for larce
ny from the house, adjudged guil
ty and sentenced to 12 months in
the chain gang.
. Andrew Hall—simple larency—
convicted “and sentenced to the
chain gang for 12 months.
Steve Allen—assault and bat
tery-adjudged guilty and sen
tenced to pay a fine of $20, or
serve 6 months in the chain gang.
He paid the fine.
Sol Woodard was charged with
simple larency—stealing sugar
cane from the farm of another
negro— adjudged not guilty and
released.
A Scotch verdict might have
been appropriate in this case —
guilty but not proven.
County court will be in session
again next Monday.

—A mortgage for ten million
dollars was filed for record in the
clerk’s office of Houston Superior
court last Saturday afternoon.
This mortgage was made by the
Georgia Southern & Florida Rail
way Co. in favor of the New York
Security and Trust Co. as security
for bonds issued by the railroad
company. Recently the G. S. &
F. bought the Atlantio, Valdosta
and Western Railroad and the
bonds noted were issued to pay
therefor and for'improvemeuts.
The mortgage is for the largest
amount ever plaoed on reoord
here, and must go on record in
euch county through which the G.
S. & F. road passes. Clerk Ed
wards began recording this mort
gage lastJSaturday afternoon, and
says the work neccessry to com
plete it will accupy about a week.
—Never has a county fair fail
ed to prove beneficial to the cause
of agriculture generally, and es
pecially to those makihg exhibits
at the fair. There have been sev
eral suoh fairs in Houston; all
have been good, and good results
have directly followed each. In
Jones county three successive an
nual fiijirs have been held, and
the farmers there say that the
benefits are plainly in evidence.
A mord progressive system of ag
riculture is displacing old meth
ods, the productiveness of the
soil is being increased, crops di-
versfiied, and the price of farm
lands going up. We suggest that
a number of Houston farmers get
together at once and arrange the
.foundation for a county fair in
the fall of 1908.
. .
— From all sections of the coun
ty we reoeive information that
the acreage devoted to oats and
wheat this season will be largely
increased. Wherever conditions
of the weather and of harvesting
work have been favorable, con
siderable planting has already
been done.
How a Woman Paid Her Debts.
“I am out of debt, thanks to
tho Dishwasher business. In the
past three months I have made
$600.00' selling Dish-washers. I
never saw any thing sell so eas
ily. Every family needs a Dish
washer and will buy one when
shown liow beautifvlly it will
wash and dry the family dishes
in two minutes. I sell from my
own house. Each Dish-washer
sold brings me many orders. The
dishes are washed without wet
ting the hands, That is why la
dies want the Dish-washer. I
give my experience for the bene
fit of any one who may wish to
make money easily. I buy Dish
washers from the Mound City
Dish-Washer Co., St Louis, Mo.
Write them for particulars. They
will start you in business in your
own home.
