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 (Continued to last page.) HON. C. I. DUGGAN REPLIES TO MR. WOOD.

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 last year ? I believe in forcing children to work, while you can, if necessary, and when Christmas comes see that they enjoy themselves.
