MgIeNtIiEETING
STILL IN PROGRESS.
Revs. John B. and Burke
Culpepper Conducting
Stirring Revival.
Tin; revival services which were
begun by Revs. John B. and son,
Bourke Culpepper, last Sunday
afternoon in their big tent stretch
ed by the Baptist church is still
in progress and it is expected that
it will continue through next
week. lb»th these preachers are
well known to the people of this
vicinity, the elder having been
the pastor of the Washington cir
cuit about thirty years ago, and
the large crowds who go out to
hear them every day is a tri
butes to the strong and stirring
sermons they are preaching. They
are right in behind the sinners
and they don’t believe in telling
them about it in sugar-coated
sentences, either. They are tell
ing the people in the very
straighteet language the folly of
wickedness and evil, and their
sermons are having a tolling ef
fect. They are assisted in the ser
vices by the local ministers and
the song service is conducted by
Mr. John Morrow, the noted goB-
pel singer. '
Rev. Culpepper has planned a
great meeting for next Saturday,
the services to cover practically
the whole day. He is anxious to
meet his old friends on that day
and he wants every body in the
county to attend on that day. A
basket dinner will be served on
the - grounds and the people from
both country and town are invit
ed to be present with baskets.
The ladies of the city are espec
ially requested to contribute to
the dinner as there will be possi
bly two thousand people present.
The meetings are the most stir-
OFFICERS RAID
BUND TIGER.
Jack Cain Who Has Serv*
ed Before is Caught
Again.
One day last week officers Bar-
wick, Blount and May made a
raid on the promises of Jack Cain,
who has been convicted several
times for selling whiskey, and,
although they failed to find the
whiskey they found sufficient ev
idence to authorize his detention
at the barracks. It seems that
Cain was taking advantage of the
crowd here court week to boost
his business and the officers were
told that he was selling the booze
right along. On learning this
the officers went down to his store
in “Sandy Bottom” and made a
search. They didn’t get the booze
but they did get the evidence and
Jack was brought before Mayor
Evans Monday afternoon on a
charge of storing intoxicants for
illegal purposes, and after the
witnesses were examined he put a
fine of forty dollars and cost on
Cain or in lieu thereof to serve
six months on the city gang.
We commend the officers on
their vigilance in putting a step
to blind tigers as they are the
worst evil we have to contend
with.

Mr. Editor:
In the Inst two issues of the
Progress there appeared an article
written by Mr. A. W. J. Wood.
In the first issue he started out to
discuss whether or not the judge
and solicitor of the City Court
should be elected by the people,
but in the last issue his mind
wanders from the subject, and lie
winds up his article by an attack
upon Congressman Hardwick,
Representative Duggan, Mr. Hy
man and myself. He begins his
article by the statement that he
and I are business friends, and
that our friendship is both cor
dial and mutual. Recognizing
this friendship, I can only lament
that Mr. Wood is so wrong in his
politics, and so wide of the truth
in his article.
Entertaining the personal feel
ings towards him that I do, after
reading his article, I could only
say with David of old, when ho
uttered from the depths of his
heart the words; “Absolem, Ab-
solem, O my son Absolem 1” As
David mourned and refused to be
comforted at the waywardness of
his son Absolem, so do I mourn
at the political waywardness of
my friend, Absolem.
It is inferable from his article
that 1 have shifted my position
in the election of officers by the
people; that I formerly opposed
it, but now favor it for my own
personal advantage. This is not
the case. I have always favored
the election of all officers by a di
rect voto of the people. When

I am averse, under ordinary
circumstances, to rush into
print, to air my views or to pa
rade my grievances, but the card
in last Tuesday’s Progress, and
that purports to have been writ
ten by A. W. J. Wood, whose
name it bears, is, so far as the
same relates to myself, so false
and so vicious that 1 wish to sub
mit just a short reply.
1. *The statement in said card
that I ever opposed the election
of our County Commissioners by
the people is untrue, and A. W. J.
Wood knew it was untrue when he
published it, for lie heard me
mako the statement in the senate
committee room, when the City
Court bill was pending, to Mr. A.
W. Evans that I had not opposed
the election of County Commis
sioners by the people. 1 am now,
and always have been, in favor of
the election of all of our officers
by the people.
2. I am assailed in said card
with tho charge that I have un
justly and unreasonably increas
ed the compensation of the offi
cers of the City Court for the rea
son that the Judge, Mr. E. W.
Jordan, is a nephew of my first
wife, long since dead. I think
many of the people of this county
know me too well to render it nec
essary for me to defend my char
acter and integrity against the
baseless charge of having been in-
lluenced in the performance of a
public duty by relationship or by
private considerations. If not,
have lived sixty-six years of an
honorable life in vain. In pro
portion to the wealth, size and
population of the county, the City
Court officers here are tho poorest
paid in Georgia, and the small in
crease in compensation that hns
been granted them by the Legis
lature since I have been a mem
ber of that body was not only
wise, just and fair, but exceeding
ly reasonable and in moderation.
It it not tru°, as stated in said
card, that I ever told tho Chair
man of the Board of Roads and
Revenues that I would not pass
the bill unless the Board agreed
to it. So far as this charge is
concerned I dismiss it with the
contempt it deserves, it is unwor
thy of the notice of any honest
and honorable man.
0. It seems that the whole sum
of my offending is that I have ad
vocated allowing the people to se
lect the Judge and Solicitor of
our City Court, and finally have
secured the passage of a bill which
permits the people of this county
to say whether they would like to
select these officers themselves or
not. I confidently submit the is
sue to the common sense and com
mon fairness of the people of this
county; whother or not I havo
represented the people of this
county correctly when I have in
sisted that the people be allowed
to say whether they want to elect
these officers by a popular vote or
not; or whether Mr. Wood and
his political associates are right
when they insist that the people
ought not to be even allowed to
say whether or not they would
like to elect their own officers.
Respectfully,
C. I. Duggan.
Your Child!
Yes, where is that precious child tonight, that was
so dear to you a year ago ? Many of them have
passed into the Great Beyond.
Say, did you do all you could
to make that child have a pleasant Christmas last

while you can, if necessary, and when Christmas
comes see that they enjoy themselves. It has been
