SANDERSVILLE, GEORGIA, SEPTEMBER 21, 1907.
grand jury recom=
mend new city court.
Endorses Col. Kent for
Judge of Wrightsville
City Court.
On January 1st, 1908, the bill
passi'd by Representative Flanders
abolishing the city court of
Wrightsville will go into effect.
On that s elfsame date the rec
ommendation of the grand jury
fitting at this the September term
,.f the superior court will go into
,.11’ect, and the grand jury recom
mendation will create a new city
c nirt for the county.
Thus the present court goes out
at the instance of the representa
tive, the new city court will come
into being as the result of the
action of the grand jury repre
senting the people of the county.
The legislature put the court
the county hud out of existence;
hut the grand jury, under the gen
eral laws, believing that a city
court is a necessity for the county,
and acting for the best interests
of the county, creates a new city
court for the county.
besides recommending and es
tablishing the new court to ne-
come effective the day the present
court ceases to exist, the grand
jury settled on the officers which
the new court is to have.
These officers will be appointed
by Governor Hoke Smith, and he
will doubtless appoint the gentle
men recommended by the grand
jury.
Col. J. L. Kent, the present
solicitor of the city court, was
endorsed by the grand jury for
the position of judge of the new
court; and Col. B. B. Blount,
former solicitor of the city court
was endorsed tor the position of
solicitor of the new court.
It is said that the recommenda
tion for the establishment of the
new court, and the endorsements
for judge and solicitor aforesaid
were made unanimously by all
the members of the grand jury.
The action of the grand jury is
probably the result of the dissat
isfaction of a large number of the
law abiding people of the county
with the abolishment of the pres-
-ent court, as many thought that
the city court is one of the strong
est deterrents to crime that the
county can have.—Wrightsville
Chronicle.

Satan is glad for every person
to think himself ‘‘just one,” and
while lie is thinking thus many
•■vil influences radiate from 1iis
indifferent life. Let who thinks
herself not missed from her out
side duties when she is unavoid
ably detained at home not weakly
succumb to such fueling but in
stead strive to influence another
to become interested in such work.
The annual week of prayer, Oct.
S-14, is nearing. Are Home Mis
sion workers planning and pray
ing for its success? Let each
member seek also to induce some
indifferent friend or neighbor to
anticipate this week and to attend
with you.

Owing to an unexpected delay
the following resolutions unani
mously adopted at the last month
ly meetings of our W. H. 51. and
W. F. 51. auxiliaries were not
published in The Herald last
Saturday:
Whereas, the Woman’s Foreign
Missionary Society, and the wom
en of the Home 51ission Society
of the Methodist Episcopal ohurch
of Sandersville, Ga., are a band
of Christian women who stand for
righteousness, which means right
eous living.
And, whereas the position our
state has taken in the legis.ation
and enforcement of prohibitive
measures, emboldens 119 to believe
we have only to point out a danger
to have our brave men carry out
the action. And believing it en
dangers the Christian life of our
community and the youth of our
homes to hare ice sold on the holy
Sabbath day. And, whereas we
have proven that it is entirely
practicable to buy ice on Satur
day for the Sunday simply, and
knowing that our ice merchants
have in the past sold ice on Sun
days for the accommodation of
our housekeepers.
Therefore, bo it resolved that wo
respectfully petition our ice mer
chants to discontinue the sale of
ice on the Sabbath day, and that
a copy of these resolutions be fur
nished the merchants and a copy
sent our county papers.

Mr. Bateman Will
Sell More Lots.
There is unusual activity in the
real estate market in Sandersville
and the demand for desirable city
lots grows every day.
Among the more desirable city
lots now offered for pale are some
lots owned by Mr. N. B. Bateman
on Smith street, lying near the
lot upon which the Sandersville
Investment Company is now pre
paring to erect one of the prettiest
cottages in Sandersville.
These lots have a depth of more
than three hundred feet, are well
drained and splendidly located.
Besides, they are on the same side
of the railroad as the school house
which makes it safer for the school
children going to and returning
from school.
While Mr. Bateman realizes that
his lots are the most desirable lots
now on the market in Sanders
ville, he is offering them remark
ably cheap to the right parties
and will dispose of four or five

President R. F. Duckworth, of
the Georgia Farmers’ Union, upon
his return from the west, has
written the following card pro
testing against the interviews of
Governor Smith and others in
placing Georgia’s cotton crop at
2.000. 000 hales:
Editor Constitution : I have just
returned from a trip to the west,
and today a copy of the Atlanta
Constitution of September 11 was
handed me in which was repro
duced from the Atlanta Journal
nn interview from Gov. Smith,
Col. W. L. Peel, George R. Dono
van, Joseph H. 5IcCord, HauBDn,
Blake & Co., Inman, Akers and
Inman, and so forth and so forth.
Of course we were not the least
bit surprised to find Inman, Akers
it Inman and Hanson, Blake it
Co. quoting the estimate of the
present cotton crop in Georgia at
2.000. 000, but we were a little bit
surprised to see Governor Smith
with the other gentlemen’s names
given above quoted as giving their
estimate at and around 2,000,000.
In the name of God, what do
these men mean? Are they total
ly ignorant of the present crop
conditions? Have they joined
heart and soul with the cotton
bears that try to force down the
price of cotton? Or have they
been droaming.
Why should Governor Smith,
as the governor of- Georgia, -be
placing a high estimate on cotton
at nil? Suppose that Georgia
should make a 2,000,000-bale crop,
what right had the governor to
9tand upon the pinnacle of his
office and scream forth to the cot
ton speculators who are using
their utmost possible means to
bear the market, and tell them
that Georgia would make a bigger
crop this year than last? Did he
think that his declarations would
assist the tanners in getting more
for their cotton? Certainly the
governor is not this ignorant of
the methods used to rob the farm
ers of their cotton. The other
gentlemen who gave their esti
mate on cotton were private citi
zens and their judgment on the
question is evidently bad. But
Governor Smith, if I understand
the proposition rightly, wa9 not
elected to give information to the
bears in the cotton market.
We are sorry that it becomes
necessary for us to call the gover
nor down again, but there is no
doubt that the governor’s state
ment will take thousands of dol
lars from the pockets of the farm
ers of this state, who are forced
to sell their cotton and cannot
hold it for the Farmers’ Union
minimum price. Of course it will
cause us who ure holding for the
minimum price to hold longer
than we would have had to do if
Governor Smith had not become
the tool intentionally or uninten
tionally of Inman, Akers & In
man, or some other cotton com
pany, who is interested in buying
thousands of bales of cotton
before it goes up.

Mure Barbers at the
Model Barber Shop.
first-class white barbers
are now serving the patrons of the
Model Barber Shop in the Julida Hotel
building and another is expected to
come in shortly. The growing patron
age of this barbershop is due to the
first class service rendered, its cleanli
ness, and to the fact that the tools
employed are always sharp and in first
class condition. The barbers are cour
teous gentlemen and know their busi
ness. Their patrons may be assured
’ that the Model Shop is up to date.

Keep Up Appearances
T HIS store is run on the
theory that the majority of
young men want stylish
clothes—that they’re as jealous of
their appearance as any young man
anywhere.
Average clothing, the kind we
don’t sell, is made in a rush and in
large quantities; like they turn out
casting in an iron foundry or cut
boards from a log in a saw mill.
One garment is like another; no
individuality; nothing distinctive,
inside or out.
Between such clothing and that
we sell there is all the difference of
ordinary and superior tailoring;
and this is the same in clothing as
the difference between hot air and
live steam in a locomotive.
Each garment we sell is sepa
rately made with special care. The
tailoring of each Dart is an opera
tion by itself. This is the founda
tion of good clothes. Style de
pends upon it; so does shape and
wearing quality. So does appear
ance.
Select a Standard, Yale or Longworth suit and overcoat
when you next purchase. You’ll get style—just as much of it
as you please. You can buy a better garment for $20 than for
for $10 or $12, of course. But whatever you pay, we guaran
tee full value in tailorin and wear.
