SEMI-WEEKLY.
SANDERSVILLE, GEORGIA, AUGUST 28, 1907.
STABLISHED IN 1841
NEW COMMISSION
WILL BE ELECTED.
New Council Will Elect
Successors of Water
Commission.
AUGUST TERM OF CITY
COURT MET MONDAY.
Large Number of Cases on
Docket. Rapid Pro=
gress Made.
I’ndoran net recently paused l>y
j he legislature the present Hoard
.f Water and Light Commission-
•rs will go out with the present
ulministration ami the new mayor
;«ud council will elect three new
<• miissioners to succeed tho pres-
•>it board in September.
Tliis new commission, it is said
will be required to elect a new
superintendent and this puts tho
position filled by Superintendent
Porter among the plums to be
5»iveu out.
Mr. Porter was employed a few
months ago and moved his family
nun Thompson Gn. He has given
-timmI satisfaction, according to the
present board, wbo give him cred
it for saving the city one hundred
dollars a month in the consump
tion of coal alone, and it is known
that meters have been put in by
him previously overlooked and
r hat the accounts show up more
nearly uniform than heretofore.
It is understood that a strong
■iVort will bo made te secure his
re-election, both on account the of
-•xcelleut position he left to serve
.Sandersville and the splendid ser
vice he 1ms rendered the city.
“The Commission's coal bill
since Superintendent Porter con
demned two of the city’s boilers
shortly after coming to the city
and emptying therefrom heavy
cakes of mud and sand, shows the
most gratifying decrease,” said a
commissioner to The Herald
representative yesterday, “and I
hope for the city’s sake, he will be
retained, though 1 myself, do not
object to being removed.”
It is understood thut the present
board will be entiroly displaced,
or that is predicted by some, as
neither of them will likely offer
for re-election. They were not
prepared, perhaps, for a law re
moving them, but from two of
them seen before wo go to
press it is learned that they are
willing, but regret that their re
moval, at this time puts the
-Superiuteudant position in the
balance as they seem to agree
unanimously that Mr. Porter has
rendered splendid service to the
city and that the city is under
nd ing obligations to him.
The August term of the city
court of Sandersville convened
Monday morning with Judge E.
W. Jordan, presiding, and Solici
tor .). E. Hyman looking after the
prosecutions.
When the docket was called, it
was ascertained that there were
thirty-four cases to be disposed of
during the term, the usual charges
of selling liquor, gambling and
carrying weapons concealed form
ing the larger part of the eases.
The August term only tries
criminal cases and the number of
cases at this term is regarded as
a large number and shows an un
usual criminal wave in the county,
and when it is considered that
there 1ms been no grand jury to
meet in some time, it shows un
usual activity in prosecutions and
promises to reduce crime with the
punishments being indicted.
Nearly all the cases were disposed
of.

JOE WRIGHT GETS
HEAVY SENTENCE,
For Unmerciful Beating of
Mule. Sentence Is
Approved.
Joe Wright, a ginger-lnied negro
cumc up to the city court Monday
afternoon under a charge of cruel
ty to animals and plead guilty to
this charge.
A thorough investigation of the
facts was made by the judge and
it was ascertained that the cruelty
consisted in overloading beating
with sticks, hoes and other arti
cles and unmerciful treatment
generally.
Judge Jordan told Joe he didn't
have any sympathy for any one
who would treat a dumb animal
cruelly and proceeded to give Joe
a pass to Captain Hodges of the
gang unless .Too could extract from
bis jeans one hundred and fifty
dollars and get a receipt from
treasurer Jordan for the same.
The people generally approved
tho sentence.
A Card.
Having sold a large interest in
The Farmers Oil and Guano Com
pany, I beg to inform the public
that the management of the enter
prise is now in charge of Messrs.
J. C. and J. W. Cooper, who are
id so largely interested in and who
manage the Oconee Oil and Re
finery Company of Athens and
Katontou.
They have made a i>ig success
tf the oil mill business, and no
■dunlit will do much for the com
pany here.
I congratulate the stockholders
ami the community upon the
coming of these oil magnates and
"iipitalists to ourcity. And in re
tiring from the Presidency and
-Management of The Farmers Oil
•and Guano Company, beg to thank
the stockholders, and patrons for
the confidence and support given
me in the past, and solicit the
same for the Messrs Cooper.
This mill is a great enterprise
for Sandersville and no doubt
merrits the support of her people
It is a great convenience and
benefit to the fanners and if there
he any that have not so considered
H, I believe there are many that
do.
For the future I shall line my
self with my son in the Shoe and
Cents furnishing business and so-
-’-.cit a call from all my old friends
*nd patrons.

VALUABLE PROPERTY
FOR SALE TUESDAY
The first Tuesday in September will
afford investors an opportunity to buy
some valuable property, ns will be seen
from tho advertisement of the Watkins
estate. In addition to some valuable
lots in Sandersville there is some fann
ing lands to be sold. The store occn
pied by Mr. Mark Newman will be in
cluded in the sale. Opportunities like
this do not come every day and those
who have money which they desire to
invest should read the advertisement of
the executor’s sale and also that of 50
valuable lots on north Harris street for
further information. The sale will be
gin the first Tuesday in September from
10 to 4 o’clock, and will oontinue fiorn
day to day until all of the property is
sold.
The Progress is authorized to state
that the lots will bo sold for a partial
cash payment with notes for the re
maiuder of the purchase price payable
in sixty days. Money is scarce at this
season but a9 soon as cotton begins to be
marketed there will be a good deal in
oironlation, and for this reason tho sale
will be conducted in a manner to suit
purchasers who have not got the money
convenient for making a cash purchase
Already The Herald force is
preparing for the big September
issue of The Herald, which is
proposed to lie sent to every voter
in Washington county and any
others whose names do not appear
on the lists which may be known
or which any advertiser may sug
gest.
Our advertisers are determined
to let the people know just what
they have to offer the trading
public and the merchants and
business men of Sandersville are
particularly aroused and propose
1*1) make this market one of the
very best in the. South. They
claim that never before have they
had such an opportunity and they
are waking up. Indeed, one of
them remarked to the writer that
he was glad to see them wake from
their Rip Van Winkle sleep and
eallv see what had grown up
around thorn in the way of oppor
tunities.
While the Sandersville mer
chants are responsible for this big
edition of the paper and the ad
vertising campaign, The Herald
is not issuing it solely for the
merchants of Sandersville. There
seems to lie an erroneous idea m
some quarters as to the intention
of The Herald, and this notice
is given to correct any such idea.
The Herald, above all else, is n
county paper and every issue of it
is open to any merchant or busi
ness man in the county and else
where, except for certain adver
tisements, such as liquor ads. and
cotton speculators ads., which we
decline to print. Indeed, we wish
the business men of every town in
the county, particularly, to take
advantage of our unusual offer
and let the people know that they
are running their business accord
ing to modern and up-to-date
methods and that they propose
not to let their towns remain in
the background.
Patrons should remember that
we are preparing to issue this
paper as early in September as we
can get it out and prepare for it
accordingly. None should miss
this opportunity to them, because
we are sparing neither labor nor
money to make it a success.
Moreover, The Herald will con
tinue this campaign throughout
the fall. It is a part of The
Herald’s program to constantly
enlarge its subscription list, and
this second fall of tho twice-a-
week paper, we arc going to the
people with the claim that we
have made good our pledge to
issue a twice-a-vveek paper for the
people of this county for one year
and wo are going to a 3 k them to
back it for all time to come on a
pledge to keep it going. The
price will remain the same during
this fall and until the plans we
have long lmd under consideration
for greatly enlarging it are com
pletely carried out. For the loyal
support 1,500 subscribers are giv
ing it, we expect to continue to
show a- deep and sincere appre
ciation.
A county paper willing to work
for the interests of the people of
this county the best we can, is
what The Herald promises. It
you are not already a patron, we
will be glad to have you.
When tho eyes of Alf Young
blood met thope of the presiding
judge of the city court early Mon
day morning in the city court,
Alf realized that he had been
caught in the wheels of justice
and would have to be considerably
injured before lie could get loose
and he began to beg for mercy.
Alf was the man who took up
his troubles and walked from the
court room after his conviction
two months ago and who was es
corted into the range of the stern
judge Monday by Sheriff Moye.
The judge listened to the plea
patiently and then gently hut
firmly told Alf thut the selling of
liquor would have to stop and
sentenced him to twelve months
instruction under Captain Hodges
on tho chningang or three hundred
dollars and costs in gold or green
backs or such other coin of the
realm ns Alf might have loose
about him. Then Alf collapsed
mid the judge called the next case.
Alf is an Oconee tiger but “run
amuck'’ some time ago and got
into trouble.
