['ho September term of Wash-
ington Superior Court convened

mitred Herrington ns prosecutor
for the state. The grand jury is
,v very strong body of men and
Mr. C. B. Chapman was made
foremen, and Mr. W. A. Bell
clerk. The Judge’s charge to this
body was very strong, urging them
to use all diligence in ascertaining
law-breakers and charged them
particularly about their duty in
reference to the illegal selling of
whiskey and g a m bling Alto
gether it was a very able and
forceful charge.
'Phe only important civil cases
to come up nt this term were the
suits for damages against the W.
iV T. Railroad. One by Mr. Har
ris of Macon for $2,000, the jury
giving him a verdict for $888.

out of court on a technicality.
The first caso on the criminal
docket was that of Massey Butts, j
colored, for murder. He was I
found guilty and sentenced to life
imprisonment. He killed Eulie
Brown another negro at Deepstep
in June of this year.
John Sanford was convicted of
burglary with a recommendation
and sentence withheld until Fri

be twelve mouths.

A case that is attracting more
attention than any held in this
county in years is that of Ed. H.
Havwood which is set for trial
this, Friday morning. There are
several other important cases to
he tried at this term of court and
it is nlmost certain that it will he
impossible to finish up this week.
Among the prominent attorneys
here at the court are Judge Wm,
Fnircloth, Judge J. L. Kent,
Judge A. F. Daley and Col. E. L.
Stephens, of Wrightsville; Judge
Hines, of Atlanta; Judge Gamble
of Louisville; Col. John R. Coop
er, of Macon, Col. Carl Vinson,

bert, of Washington, Ga.; Col. B.
F. Walker, of Gibson; Col. Har
ris, of Macon. Col. Gilbert is as
sisting the Solicitor in the prose
cution.
The Peoples Party candidate for
the presidency, Hon. Thomas E.
Watson of Georgia fully'sustained
his unsurpassed reputation as an
orator and statesman in the speech
which he delivered at Idylwild,
last Friday, to an audience of
more than five thousand people
from the counties of Johoson,
Washington, Laurens, Toombs,
Jefferson and Wilkerson.
He was introduced by Hon. A.
S. Bussey, formerly of Wrights-
ville, but now of Ashburn.
Mr. Watson was in the pink of
condition, and in the opening of
his speech, as he referred tender
ly and lovingly to the loyal friends
who had followed his fortunes in
the early nineties, those whose
faces he recognized in the vast
throng before him, and those
whose hands had been folded in
eternal rest, there came back to
the ()ld Gaurd the memories of
days that are past and gone when
he led them so royally under the
banner of Populism, and the old
battle-cry, “Hurrah for Watson”,
rang out on the Summer breeze
as of yore.
At the conclusion of his speech,
those who intended to support him
at the polls were asked to signify
their intention, and practically
every man in the vast audience
pledged his unqualified support.
At some date in the near future,
to be announced later, he will
speak at Sandersville. Mr. Wat
son is one of the few real orators
of the present age, and our peo
ple are to be congratulated on
this opportunity of hearing him.

Mr. J. M. Minor whose home
for the past several years has
been in Atlanta and whoso illness
of paralysis was announced in the
last issue of the Herald diod at an
early hour last Saturday morning
after being sick only a few days.
Just after he was first stricken
with his fatal illness hopes were
had for his recovery but he grad
ually grew worse and the end
came suddenly.
Mr. Minor was a resident of
this county for years, he and his
brother, Mr W. R. Thigpen, hav
ing been in the mercantile busi
ness at Sun Hill for a long time
and numbered his friends by bis
acquaintances, he being the pos
sessor of a most genial and kind-
hearted disposition. He is sur
vived by his wife, four brothers,
Messrs. W. R., C. D., and T. J.
Thigpen of this county, and J. L.
Thigpen of Bainhridge; one sis
ter, Mrs. F. S. Curry of Adrian ;
two daughters, Mrs.- English
Smith of Dublin and Mrs. W. L.
Currey of Hawkinsvillc.
No bronze or marble shaft, no
splendor of ancient or modern
tombs and no play of immortal
gonius can adorn the memory of
such manly men. Their lives,
their deeds, thoir influence, living
or dead, and their pure aspira
tions are the monuments that
will keep their names burning in
the home and the hearts of kind
red and friends while the flying
moments are dimming with dust
and rust the inscription upon the
brightest obelisk in the cemetery.
While tho silence of death wraps
and chills at this moment, mem
ories, sweet and precious, come
crowding in.
His remuins were laid in their
last resting place in Westview
cemetery, Atlanta, Sunday morn
ing with Masonic honors, of which
he had long been a member. He

F. H. Goodman, The
Daylight Corner
A summing up the business of
the community would be incom
plete without due mention being
made of F. H. Goodman, who is
one of the mercantile war horses
of the county. He has made a
success of life, and the liberal and
judicious application of printer’s
ink has been largely responsible.
The people of the community have
umlimited confidence in Mr.
Goodman and his manner of do
ing business, and confidence, you
know is the hinge upon which the
business world hangs. Because of
this confidence the store has been
given a business prestige that is
I indeed enviable.
For Goodness Sake
Buy your harness where goodness is evident in every set.
Finish isn’t the only thing to consider. Some harness looks
like a picture but wears like a tintype.
Ours is in the long-wear class.
Because when we made the contract for our 1908 stock
we made quality and durability the watchword. Then by
placing one of the largest orders the agent ever took for the
particular goods we selected, we succeeded in getting the fin
ish and style included with hardly any advance in cost.
Right here’s where you win; tor this line of harness
which we offer for spring trade is just a little bit ahead of
anything around these parts. Needn’t take our word for it.
The. goods can be seen any day. If you can do better else-
where we don’t expect your patronage. All we want is a
show.
Come in any time—the sooner the better.
Look all you want to—looks are free. Buy only when
you are satisfied.
