A sure cure for somnambulism—take
a walk on some of the sidewalks around
the square.
We would like to see the Farmers
"Union keep persistently urging its
members to rnise their own supplies.
This is the only solution ot low-priced
cotton.
The State election will be held on
the 7th of this month. There is no
doubt that “Little Joe” will receive
100,000 majority over his opponents.
This will be as it should be.
The merchants wdo advertise in the
Hekai.u and Tribune are reaping a
good harvest of dollars after sowing a
few cents. This is the best season of
the year to advertise. Try it.
Sandersville needs a good Board of
Trade to boost her advantages and let
the outside world know what excellent
conditions we have here. Why not
get together and organise one ?
An Alabama woman has made appli
cation to the Atlanta Fair Association
to lease a booth at the fair for the pur
pose of exhibiting the sheath dress in
use. Her application was turned down.
The Queen Annie Ruffle is one of the
latest fashion hits. However, it is
stated on good authority that the said
article is to be worn arouud the neck
and will in no way interfere with the
•heath shirt arrangement.
The Culpepper revival is getting
things greatly stirred up. If Brother
Culpepper will stay here a while
longer we believe he will convert some
of our good brethren into real good
Christian men. Let us keep him.
We call the attention of every voter
in the county to the fact that the dis
franchisement act is to be ratified in a
abort while and every white voter
should go to the polls and vote for it.
It is a duty we all owe to good, clean
white supremacy.
TWELVE-CENT MEAT.
Just at this time we want to call the
attention of our farmer friends to the
fact that meat is now selling at the
extremely high price of 12 1-2 cents
per pound and meal is bringing the
fancy price of $l.io per bushel. We
also want to call your attention to the
fact that there is an enormous quanti
ty of both these necessities shipped to
the different towns in Washington
counly from the west and sold to the
farmers of this section. Now the thing
that we want to see done in this, the
banner county of Georgia, is for the
farmers to raise their own meat and
corn. The soil of this county is as
well adapted to raising corn as it is
anywhere in the south and corn can be
raised a whole lot cheaper here than
for you to have your corn field thous
ands of miles away and then have it
shipped to you. And did you ever no
tice that the extra acres of cotton you
plant to pay for your next year’s corn
never pans out like you expect?
There is a hundred different argu
ments that could be used favoring the
raising of corn but the strongest we see
is the fact that the moBt prosperous
planters of this county raise their own
supplies at home and do not depend on
the west for the things they need and
can raise right on their own farms.
One of our progressive merchants
told us the other day of two incidents
in hog raising that had not before come
to the notice of the writer and we give
it to our readers as one of the best we
have yet heard. He says that Mr. Jim
Kelly, whose home is near Tennille
has a hog pasture containing a number
of mulberry trees and that through
the summer the fruit from th® trees
keeps a number of hogs in excellent
growing condition with only one feed
of corn each week. Mr. Kelly is recog
nized as one of the most prosperous
and progressiva planters in the county
and is making quite a success in rais
ing pork with the mulberry tree pas
tures. The other incident mentioned
is that Mr. Boonie Doolittle put a fence
around twelve mulberry trees early
this summer and kept seventeen hogs
in good condition with one feed of corn
each week. These incidents prove the
fact that any farmer in Washington
county can raise his own supplies if he
will but go at it in the right way and
also that he can do it at much less cost
than he can buy them.
Card From Mr. Wood.
Hon. ThoB. E. Watson will speak at
Eastman on October 8. It will be re
membered that his speech was so
greatly enjoyed by some who heard
him at Idylwild a few weeks ago, that
in all probability some of our good
friends will go over and hear him
again.
We had a very complimentary let
ter the other day from one of our
constant readers at Bartow. He con
gratulated us on the paper generally
and especially on some of the articles
we have been running. We appreciate
the fact that our efforts to get out a
first-class paper are recognized by our
readers.
SAMPLE COPIES BEINQ SENT OUT.
If you receive a sample copy of the
Herald and Tribune this week, we ask
that you look over the two papers and
send us one dollar for a year’s sub-
scriptien to the two. For a limited
time only we are going to push this
consignation, and we are sure it will
make many new subscribers for us as
well at? good friends. If you do not
send ub your name and subscribe for
the papers you are liable to be bother
ed with them again next week. We ex
pect to put these two papers in every
white family in the City of Sanders-
ville. There are not fifteen white fam
ilies in Tennille that the Tribune doeB
not visit once a week, and in a few
week’s we expect the Herald to do
the same thing in the city of Banders-
ville.
Look over the two this week and
send your name and the dollar for both
papers one year. If it is not the great
est "pair” for one dollar you ever saw
then we will “drop out.”

CONTROVERSY CLOSED.
The controversy between Mr. A. W.

citizens, and Messrs. T. W. Hardwick,
C. I. Duggan, E. W. Jordan and J. E.
Ilyman about the election of the judge
and solicitor of the City Court by the
people has been brought to a close by
an apology from Mr. Wood in which he
states that it was not his intention to
criticise either of these gentlemen but
merely published his card as opposing
the measure. The card of Mr. Wood
and the replies by the above named
gentlemen w.ere very spicy and were
read with much interest by people nil
over the county, but we are very glad
indeed that the matter has been closed
in so far as there was quite a good deal
of personal feeling involved and with
Mr. Wood’s apology every thing is am
icably straightened out.

Road Tax Notice.
There seems to have arisen some con
fusion as to the purpose of the levy of
the commutation tax of $2.00 per head,
which is to be collected this Fall. This
levy is for THIS year, and is not in
tended for a commutation tax for
NEXT year as seems to have been un
derstood by some. It shall be the pol
icy, however, oi the Board to collect
road lax only in the Fall of the year
hereafter so that next Spring there
will be no road tax collected, but the
road tax for the year will be collected
in the Fall. Road overseers are au
thorized to receipt for 1908 only.

Editor Sandhrsvii.i.k Herai.ii.
Dear Sir:—I have read with much in
terest the cards published by Judge
Jordan and Representative Duggan in
your issue, also in the Progress this
week, together with those from Con
gressman Hardwick and Solicitor Hy
man. These cards are written as an
answer to the personal reference made
to these gentlemen, in my card pub
lished in the Progress of the 22nd. In
the same issue of the Progress, I pub
lished another card disclaiming any
purpose to reflect upon the honor or
integrity of any of the gentlemen re
ferred to, and wish herewith to again
give expression to the same sentiment
I have, therefore, nothing whatever to
say in comment on their cards in this
connection. I do desire, however, to
make some brief reference to other
statements, not in this connection,
I he cards of Messrs. Duggan and Jor
dan. I desire first to retract the state
ment I made of Mr. Duggan, that he
had not formerly been in favor electing
the county commissioners by the peo
ple. I had no authority to make that
statement. He haB never entertained
other views, so far as I know, than he
now holds. I did not intend to men
tion his name in this connection. It
was a slip of the pen, I freely and fully
and completely retract that statement
Referring to the next statement de
nied by Mr. Duggan, that be would not
introduce a bill to increase the salary
of the Oily Court Judge and Solicitor
unless endorsed by the county oomniis
sinners. I desire to say that I have
too high a sense of regard for his honor
and integrity to believe for one
moment that be would at any time or
on any occasion give expression to any
statement that was not, as he be
lieved, in thorough accord with the
truth. I therefore ask him to refresh
his memory, and see if he cannot re
call when and where and to what gen
tleman he made the statement. If I
have erred in this statement I will re
tract it also.
Mr. Duggan says that In proportion
to the wealth and population of our
county, our City Court officials are the
poorest paid in the stAte. I do not
know about other counties. I am only
concerned about our own county. I do
think it is out of just proportion to the
service rendered by the Superior Court
Judge. Judge Jordan publishes a let
ter written by me last March, to Mr
C. A. Hattaway. This letter was writ
ten in reply to one sent me by Mr.
Hattaway asking me to circulate a pc
tition to abolish the CUy Court. This
letter canr.ot, I think, be construed as
a very strong endorsement of the City
Court. In it I say I am inclined to be
lieve it would be a saving to the coun
ty, but I close by saying perhaps 1 may
be wrong in the views I entertain, and
if I can come to see different, no one
would be more ready than myself to
seek a change. I did not then know of
the enormouB expense the court
nor the salaries the Judge and Solici
tor received. Might not I now be
justified in saying I have come to see
different. I am glad Judge Jordan
published my letter, for it was written
at a time when gubernatorial policies
was not injected into the discussion,
and only tends to confirm my state
ment, that the demand for the abolish
ment of the city court is wide spead.
Both Judge Jordan and the Progress
seek to convey the idea from my card
that I have now committed myself to
the abolishment of the City Court. If
they will read the article again they
will find that I did not commit myself
to either view, but argued that if leg
islation be indicated because of popu
lar demand then no legislation is more
urgently required in our county than
the abolishment of the city court. Is
it not a little significant that the recent
grand jury over which the editor of
the Poogress presided called attention
to the great expeuec of the city court?
It was from their presentments that I
got my data in this connection.
I believe every one of the rejoinders
published carried implications that
my card was not my owia. I desire to
say most emphatically that I did write
it. It was my own suggestion. Every
line and word and thought was the
product of my own mind, and written
with my own hand. If I have done
wrong I completely exculpate any other
person from participation in that
wrong.
And now again disclaiming any pur
pose to do any one wrong, but with the
desire to furnish information which I
thought would be of benefit to the
public, and with the hope that good
will come out of it, and with the as
surance to the gentlemen that I bear
no ill will to them, I close this discuss
ion bo far as I am concerned.
