SEIW1-WEEKLY.
SANDERSVILLE, GEORGIA, OCTOBER 26, 1907.
ESTABLISHED 1841
STREET WORK IS
NEARLY FINISHED.
Mayor and Conncil Ap
pealed to Commission
ers to Help City.
The streets of the city of San-
fiersville have been bo broken and
uneven since the laying cf the
sewers in the city as to greatly
interfere with travel and all busi
ness, but earlier work to restore
them would have been useless.
By the slow process of day
laborers work the city officials
realized that it would be the Inte
rainy season before the work could
be completed and in this emer
gency the Mayor and council ap
pealed to the county Commission
ers to allow the county gang to
put the main streets and roadways
in proper condition, basing the
appeal on the fact that the city
paid a very large proportion of
the county taxes and that the
present emergency demanded
gome consideration.
By reason of misinformation
Thk Herald recently stated that
the county Commissioners made
the contract with the Perry-Calla-
hane Company, which was an er
ror wo cheerfully correct, since
tho facts are as above stated.
The work is now about complet
ed and the people of the county
who have business here find the
hauling much easier and the
streets in excellent conditions.
By any other means of work, it
would have been as late as Jan
uary before the work could have
been done.
Real Meaning of Thanks
giving, by W. J. Bryan.
Thanksgiving is of little value
if our expressions of gratitude
have no effect upon [our own con
duct. Appreciation of blessings
is shown by acts rather than
by words. If we regard citizen
ship ns a priceless inheritance, we
should reslove to transmit it, not
only unimpaired, but improved,
to the next generation ; if our ed
ucational system has been a boon
to us, it should be extended and
amplified for the benefit of poster
ity; if the resources of our coun
try liave a value beyond computa
tion, it behooves us to see to it
that these resources are not Bcpian
dered, and that the bounties
which the Creator intended for
all shall not be monopolized by
the cunning,* the craft and the
avarice of a few; if our govern
ment gives to life, liberty and
prosperity greater protection than
any other government grants, we
cannot excuse ourselves if we fail
to preserve it, iu all its purity,
for our children and our children’s
children ; if in our religion we find
a consolation, a life plan and a
moral uplift, we cannot but ear-
* nestly desire—and embody the de
sire in deeds—that these shall be
shared by those about us and by
those also who, thougn separated
from us by seas, are bound to us
by that primal tie that links each
human being to every other.
From “Why We Ought to Be
Thankful,” by William Jennings
Bryan, in The Circle for Novem

British Pluck.
About 60,000 persons assembled
at the Crystal Palace last week on
the occasion of the brass band
contest. This does not look as if
we are becoming a nation of cow
ards, as is sometimes alleged.—

Would Abolish Con
vict Lease System.
Macon, Ga.—Senator T. S. Fel
der will mako a strong effort in
the senate at the next session to
have all of the convicts in Georgia,
misdemeanor and felony, worked
on the public roads. In discussing
the matter recently he said:
“I shall submit to tho general
assembly when it next convenes a
bill the purpose of which will be
to place upon the public roads
every able-bodied convict of the
state, and 1 hope that with this
measure as a basis the wisdom of
the legislature will build a plan
whereby this much-needed reform
in Georgia may be perfected and
carried out.
“The friends of good roads and
the enemies of the convict system
sought at tho session of the legis
lature of 19011 to put the felony
convicts upon the public roads,
but wore only partially successful.
The results which havy come from
tho law enacted by their elTorts
have demonstrated beyond ques
tion that the public highway is
the proper place to use convicts,
and 1 look lor many converts
among the present members of
the general assembly, and expect
the passage of a statute which will
destroy the lease system.
The leasing of convicts is
wrong in principal. Georgia is
too great a stato to delegate its
sovereign power to punish for
crime to any individual or corpor
ation ; she is too just to place this
class of labor in competition with
her honest laborers, and too fair
to force the industries of the state
which employ free labor to place
their products in the market to
compete with the products of
convict labor.
“Everyone, except those who
receive direct benefits from con
vict labor, through its employ.-
ment or traffic, must agree in this.
Tho trafficking in human beings
is obnoxious to our sense of hu
manity. The hirer of convicts
has but one object in view, which
is to coin tho labor into dollars.
The higher object which the
state must, and should have in
viow—the punishment for the
crime committed and the final re
formation of the criminal—h lost
sight of when this class of unfor
tunate citizens is worked by pri
vate parties or corporations for
private gain. An industry which
works convict labor does not ben
efit any community, but rather,
it is harmful. Whenever free
labor iB turned from the doors of
a factory or other industry and
convict placed in their stead, labor
receives a direct slap in the face
and the community is harmed
financially by a loss from the
wages which the free workmen
would receive and spend in the
community.”
Z. H. PEACOCK
DIED WEDNESDAY.
Was Former Citizen of
Tennille. Death Occur
red at Cordele.
Mr. Z. H. Peacock, son of Mr.
J. H. Peacock of Tennille, but
who for the past year has been
manager of the Parker News Co.,
at Cordele, died at his home in
that city Wednesday night after
a brief illneBS with pneumonia.
Mr. Peacock was a very estima
ble gentleman and died just in
his prime. The Cordele Rambler
of Thursday has the following:
Mr. Peacock’s death was
great shock to his family and
friends as he had been sick only a
week. His condition was not
considered serious until yesterday,
when tho symptoms became
alarming.
“He passed quietly and peace
fully into the great unknown,
leaving the sweetest assurances
that he was ready and willing to
go to his Savior, who had so won
derfully blessed and saved him.
“He was thirty-seven years of
age, and the greater part of his
life he had been a consistent
member of the Baptist church of
Jacksonville, Fla.
“He was a member of the
Knights of Pythias and was very
popular in this order.
“Tennille, Ga., was his boyhood
home, but after reaching man
hood ho went to Jacksonville.
“He had been in Cordele about
a year and lmd made many friends
who will greatly miss him and
who extend sincerest sympathy to
his bereaved family. His remains
will be carried to Tennille tonight
via Macon, where they will be in
terred tomorrow
family cemetery.
“Mr. Peacock leaves, besides a
devoted wife and three small chil
dren, a brother, Mr. E. E. Pea
cock, and his father and mother,
Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Peacock, all
of Tennille.”

Macon, Ga.,—Close on to two
thousand Masons will assemble in
Macon on Tuesday, October 29th,
when the grand lodge convenes for
its annual session. The city au
ditorium has been secured for the
convention, as the Masonic tem

while the capacity of the Masonic
temple is less than one thousand.
Next Mo..day a meeting of the
public property committee of the
grand lodge will be held in Macon
to determine upon what should
be done in regard to a new temple.
It will probably be decided to re
model the Macon building. It is
estimatad that this can he done
for a cost of not over $80,000.
The grand lodge is reported by
Grand Master Meyerhardt as hav
ing $80,000 in the treasury at

SHOPLIFTING.
Inside and Outside Thieves In the Big
Department Stores.
The fixed charges of n department
store must cover tin? loss of breakage
nnd general destruction, the failure
of goods to sell mid theft. Tho cheap
er stores suffer more seriously from
thieving than the higher priced ones
because tbelr employees are less trust
worthy. For years the prop"!'"or
tlmatod that their theft
due half to their dlshon * employee.*
and half to outsiders, I ■ not one of
them would venture t > '<tlmate the
total. There Is a eurl-> . -tandaqd of
ethics among some of i • employees.
They do not regard tnkl.,„- .. Icles for
their own use as theft. '•
take them for some one eL*. •*
member of the family, Is plain robbery.
Almost never arc these guilty ones
prosecuted, even If they are detected
and tho proof Is conclusive. They are
discharged, of course, and notices are
posted In the dressing room explaining
the reason. But when an employee
steals goods to Bell and Is caught ar
rest follows.
Professional shoplifters have been
largely eliminated owing to systematic
prosecution. By far the greatest num
ber of thefts committed by outsiders
are traced to women, usually reputable,
who yield to a sudden temptation. Inci
dentally the newspapers never name a
store In which a person Is arrested for
shoplifting for the simple reason that
It would frighten away customers. A
retail store on Broadway, New York,
that did a large business was actually
ruined by the publication of the details
of several arrests within Its doors.—
