The “water wagon” has proven to be
a great benefit to Sandersville.
That John Temple Graves should op
pose organised democracy is a truly
regrettable incident.
When Sandersville gets her streets
paved her citizens who have corns will
be wearing “the smile that wont wear
off.”
We don’t wont to be too persistent,
neither do we want to be broke; con
sequently we ask you to pay your sub-
cription.
We can say it now that prohibition is
in effect: a little “Atlanta Spirit” in
jected into the people of Sandersville
would help some.
If you wont say anything good for
Sandersville don’t be a knocker, as
knocking is a pebble that lias a re
bounding proclivity.
William J. Bryan is taking like vaer
Oination all over the country. It now
seems very probable that organized la
bor in most of the States will be solid
for him.

The Southern Railway is .again mak
ing deposits with Georgia banking in

drawn sometime ago on account of the
8tate garnishment laws.
Notwithstanding the fact that court
has adjourned, the jail is full of pris
oners and an adjourned term of the
court will be called to meet sometime
this fall, probably in November.
WHY NOT BE PROSPEROUS?
“Prosperitv boomers” are sternly re
buked by economic authorities, says
the Saturday Evening Post.
You cannot make trade more active,
say the latter, by insisting that it
might as well be more active ; greater
activity cannot be artificially induced :
it must come about in a natural way.
Which overlooks the cardinal point
that depression, not great activity, is
artificially induced and unnatural
state.
The Geological Survev, not long ago
published its report of coal production
last year. The output in the United
States was 480 million short tons. This
is sixty per cent more than Great Brit-
ian produced England exportB much
coal; our exports run about, throe per
cent of production. It is more than
double Germany’s output. It is in
deed, about forty per cent of the coal
production of the world. Coal means
steam; steam and iron mean industry
Our superiorly in iron—thanks partly
to immense and convenient supplies of
ore—is about as great as in coal.
Many items besides coal and iron
might tie mentioned : many will occur
to every reader. Why not dig the oobI,
make the iron and do all the business
we like? The United States enjoying
a period of trade depression looks like
a man with a house full of corn, oil,
wine and honey, who sits tearfully
down to munch u ham sandwich be
cause his banker spoke unkindly to
him. Depression is the unreasonable
state,
LAW AND ORDER LEAQUE.
The local Farmers Union, composed
of Borne of the best and most
progressive citizens of the county, has
under consideration the organization
of a law and order league among the
members and if their plans materialize
they will co-operate with the authori
ties in the suppression of crime and
illegality and assist in bringing mis
creants to justice.
The organization of this league would
be in position to do a vast amount of
good in this county and we heartily
give our support to the movement,
should the Union wish the use of these
columns, and we would urge the mem
bers to complete their plans and begin
work actively.
Several of the Georgia papers are
making far-fetched accusations about
bush-whackers turning the Georgia
electoral vote over to the populist can
didate Wonder if they are making a
lot of fuss to cover up their own fire?
Rnssell Johnston.
Born Oct. 18, 1809; Died Sep. 0, 1908.
To a stranger, these dates tell only
of one more way-farer, who begun
life’s journey on the first date and
came to the end of the pilgrimage on
the second. To the friends of Russell
Johnston it'means much more; it
means that one fair dny a gifted boy
was born, who lived four years of hap
py, winsome childhood. That fell en
emy. typhoid fever, laid hold of this
promising boy and after months of pa
tient watching by physicians, parents
and friends the fever yielded to the
treatment, but paralysis set in. Rus
sel never fully regained his powers.
His was a cheerful spirit, and through
the painstaking care of his parents,
Rev. and Mrs, George 8 Johnston, he
received that soul culture which was
as beautiful as rare. His mind was
stored with beautiful hymns and
psalms and when seeking to comfort
one bereaved bis recalling the promise
of God to their remembrance was
touching indeed. Russel was faithful
in the discharge of his Christian duties
and found his chief pleasure in partici
pating in the services of his church, and
his faith was the unquestioning faith
of a child. His cordial greeting will
be missed on the street for everybody
was his friend.
God took him, for I know.
The Shepherd loves his sheep.

The annual leg shows have opened up
in Atlanta. And just listen at the men
bragging about what fine shows they
are.—Gwinnett Journal.
We take it that this paragraph refers
to the chorus girls and not to the new
•heath gown.
The Atlanta Journal would lead you
to believe, through its editorial col
umns, that Yancey Carter will defeat
the democratic nominee for Governor.
The Journal evidently has very little
confidence in the pledge of the true
democrats who voted in the recent
primary.
Now that Governor Brown has stated
categorically and specifically that he is
going to support William J. Bryan for
president, it is to be hoped a few dis
gruntled dailies, can become reasona
bly calm. There never was the slight
est doubt abolit Mr. Brown supporting
Mr. Bryan.—Rome Tribune-Herald.
