Swing Gavel in Mayor’s
Court Friday. One
Lone Victim.
“Its got so in dis cote day tries
folks on Friday and bless God a
new police fetches yer and a new
jedge tries yer” said one of the
spectators at the Mayor’s court
when Mayor Pro tem John J.
Lovett took the Judge’s chair at
the court Friday morning and
Sam Umphrey was called up and
“skused” of disorderly conduct.
There was fear and trembling
among the old timers about the
city hall when court convened on
Friday and the mayor pro tem
called on the clerk to call the first
ease on the docket. Sam Um
phrey was visibly affected and
looked up into the stern face of
the dignified judge with an “nil
who enter here leave hope behind”
sort of expression.
And sure enough Sam caught it
to the tune of ten dollars fine and
a judgement that if not paid Sam
would be sent where the mayors
cease from troubling and the nig
gers have n<S rest, and also that he
be bound over to the city court to
be tried for gambling.
That was the only case, but the
judge glauced over the audience
and askod that the next case be
called and there was a scramble
to get out of the building. There
was evidently a fear that this new
broom would sweep clean.
“Never hearu tell 'of sich a
judge. It costs ten dollars a min
ute to git before him,” said Sam,
as he was led from the cotirt room.

BRIEF DISPATQHES.
Cartersville, Ga.—A plant that
promises to givo King Cotton the
race of his life for supremacy in
the wealth producing world, and
one that threatens to send its
branches into all the avenues of
life now reached by the fleecy
staple, is being given its final
tests in this county, and prepara
tions are being made, on account
of the success that, has been at
tained in these tests to plant more
than a thousand acres in this
country for next year’s crop.
The plant which seems to hold
the wealth of Midas within its
branches is by no means a rare
and mysterious product of the
fabulous past, nor is it newly dis
covered. It has been cultivated
in the gardens of the southern
people for years, but with a view
to its food products alone. It is
common garden okra, this special
kind being at first imported from
the Westlndes, where it is known
as gumbo, or technically, Hybis
cus Esculentis.
For more than twenty-five years
the plant has been under the
propagation of A. D. Rigden, an
English gardener, who has worked
with a view to bringing out the
plant’s fiber, which is said by ex
perts to be one of the finest in
the world, and his labors have
been rewarded by the perfection
of the plant as regards the length
and toughness of its fiber, and ho
has also discovered a process
which will separate the fiber from
the bark and the sticky substan
ces, or gumbo, thereby surmount
ing the obstacle that disccuraged
the growing of the plant in the
West Indies for its fiber. Mr
Rigden’8 solution, a compond of
cheap chemicals, acts in such a
manner upon the stalks that the
gumbo and the bark are dissolved
and the fiber is taken from the
vats long and silky, having very
much the appearance of flax.

Lake Superior With Crew.
0.MLY ONE MAN WAS SAVED

Is Said, to the Sudden Springing of
a Leak Which the Crew Could Not
Get Under Their Control.

A reader of The Hbrai,d for
many years brought in an old
copy of The Herald the other
day and talked to us about the
progress and growth of the paper
from that day until now and com
plimented us on the splendid
growth of the paper under the
present management.
There is indeed cause for grati
fication that the present day pat
ronage of the paper permits us to
add so much to it in its get-up
and appearance and many of our
friends who call to see us are sur
prised to see in so short a time
such a completely equipped job
and newspaper plant as The Her
ald now has.
In spite of the fact that it costs
more to carry an advertisement in
The Herald today than at any
time in its history, today’s issue
carries more display advertising
than any regular issue of the pa
per ever printed and carries the
first two page advertisement for
one firm ever printed in Sanders
ville.
The growth of the paper has
been due to the patronngo of the
leading merchants of the city and
county and they have realized that
the twica-a-week Herald affords
them just the medium to place
their advertisements often and
effectively before the public.
Many of them have not advertised
in The Herald because they ren
soned that the volume of their
business would not authorize them
to pay the increased price for ad
vertising, but more and more are
they realizing that this has been
a mistake and that The Herald’s
store news is just what has added
to the volume of the business of
our advertisers.
Necessarily, the people who sell
goods can afford to do so nt *m;i'l-
er profits and our ren<’ i - him i- J
enough to know tliir true ami!
are making their pm ises of the!
merchants who hn • enterprise 1
and progressiveness > n * ■ h to con
stantly pull for a 1.■. „ »• um.< ,
rather than make much uii on.ua
sales.
There has been more than a few
instances in Sandersville where
the volume of business of those
who advertise has steadily and
rapidly increased and there are
those today who regard an adver
tisement in this paper as essential
to the proper growth and progress
of their business.
Every reader of The Herald
knows that the circulation of the
paper has beeu more than doubled
in the past twelve months and it
does not take much effort for one
to find out that there are not
many white people of the county
who fail to see each issue of The
Herald.
Of course there are some it has
been necessary for us to cut off
the list for non-payment of their
subscriptions and a few have disr
continued the paper, but a rigid
rule to take no new subscriber
without the cash has not prevent
ed a steady and continued growth
of the list and we do not miss it
we are sure, when we declare that
no paper in Georgia is enjoying
a more rapid growth in every line
than The Herald.
