THE CITY COURT BILL.
During 1 our recent primary and I M the election last week one of the
election much was said about the I , no9t interesting features to the people |
private character of the different j of this county ivas the ratification of

HUSTLE.
This is one of the toughest times
that we young people have ever
run np against. When I say
young, 1 mean those who are un
der fifty years of age.
The time lias come when we
have all got to get together and
be as one solid foundation to pull
through the next two years. In
our belief the next twenty-four
months will be the hardest felt for
our Southern people that has been
in the last century. There must
be something dont by which the
whole of us can stay right togeth
er and stay hard times off. By
co-operation we can do it.
The young man in busines now
has a hard road to travel. If he
expects to do business this year
right now is the time. And we
will say for the benefit of some of
us you can’t expect to sit around
your place of business and growl
about dull times and get your
share of the money that is being
spent in our county. You have
got to get up early and go after
them from morn till the setting of
the sun. You have got to do it.
And you will see that you can’t
make a living by setting around
chewing the rag all day, in just a
few more months. Now is the
time, get busy and hustle up new
business for yourself. Do you
want to keep what few customers
you have now and not get more
new ones? If you do just stay
right where you are' and see where
you will land at—out of doors.
While the harvest is ripe you
had better do a little harvesting
and by telling this paper what
you are up against and spending a
few’ dollars each month with us
we can help you get back on “easy
street” again.
All the advertisements you see
in this paper are put here for a
purpose. If these advertisements
did not help and get new business
for the advertisers do you suppose
they would continue to pay out cash
for it? It helps them in more
ways than one and if you will call
and see us we can help you the
same w ay.
Don’t put it off or you may wish
in a few month or weeks or perhaps
days that you had taken my advice
and spent just a little of what you
were taking in daily in advertis
ing in this paper, the best adver
tising medium in this section. We
have the circulation, we have the
material to get you up a nice ad
vertisement or a nice piece of job
work of any discription.
Read what Mr. F. H. Goodman,
the Daylight Corner Man, says:
Sandersville, Ga., 10-15-08.
Mr. A. J. Dunham, Publisher,
Sandersville, Ga.
Dear Sir:
For some time I have been thinking
that I would write you a letter (for
surely I am due you one) and tell you
what a great advertising medium you
have in The Sandersville Herald and the
Tennille Tribune.
Some people ask me why it is that I
spend thirty dollrs a month in adver
tising in your two papers when I could
get along just as well without it. I tell
them to make a long story short that
since I have been advertising in both of
your papers my trade has increased
immensely. Enough to pay for the ad
vertising by three fold or more. I con
sider vou having the best means by way
of helping a business man that I have
ever seen. I am getting trade Bince
advertising in the Tribune that I know
that I never got before. People who
live below Tennille tell me that they
see my ads. in the paper every week
and this alone convinces me that what
I pay out for advertising does not cost
me one penny as my trade is so much
better; but you have to advertise the
truth.
Thanking yon for the pretty and neat
style you get my ads. np in, I am,
Very truly yours,
F. H. Goodman.
candidates for offices, especially
our home folks.
How little we really know of
the value of some men, until
some grand Christian act is per
formed by one of them, we too
often fail to think of.
Doing one’s duties, but doing
an act because it will help our fel
low-man and not a required duty,
is doing God’s work.
The writer has known Sheriff
S. M. Move for years and has
always been proud of his friend
ship, of his manhood and his
courage, proud to call him friends.
A recent act of S. M. Move has
deepened my friendship and
warmed up my admiration anew.
In a certain section of our county,
some certain people have been
living at outs for years. Outs in
all things and ways. Recently
their differences became so great
that one man decided to ask our
court to grant a peace warrant for
a neighbor. To issue this warrant
would cause feelings that could be
settled in but one way, and that
way usually leads to court again.
Our sheriff learning of this
went to the parties concerned as
man to man and talked to them as
a Christian and a citizen and then
lead them into the path of peace
and friendship, caused them to
shake each others honenst hand
and agree that they did not have
any need or use for a peace war
rant.
This is what I call applied
Christianity. This is what proves
the man, the citizens and friend
of all the people. Again.I say, I
am proud of my friend, Sheriff
S. M. Moye.
AN EPISODE OF WAR.
The Only Coward Evan* Ever 8aw In
the Navel 8*rvice.
After Admiral Evans had been so
grievously wounded In the attack on
Fort Fisher during the civil war he
was picked up by a marine named
Wasmoutb and carried into compara
tive shelter. Wasmoutb was killed a
few minutes later. Evans' own ac
count continues: "After Wasmoutb
was killed I soon fell asleep, and when
I awoke it was some time before I
could recall my surroundings. The
tide had come In, and the hole In
which I was lying was nearly full of
water, which had about covered me
and was trickling Into my eurs. I
could see a monitor firing and appar
ently very near, and the thought cume
to me that I could swim off to her tf I
only had a bit of plank or driftwood,
but this I could not get It was plain
enough that I should soou be drowned
like a rat In a hole unless I managed
to get out somehow. Dead and wound
ed men were lying about In ghastly
piles, but no one to lend me a helping
hand. By this time I could not use
my legs in any way, and when 1 dug
my hands Into the sides of my prison
and tried to pull my SQ U out the sand
gave way and left me still lying In the
water. Finally 1 made a strong effort
and rolled myself sideways out of the
hole.
“When I got out 1 saw a marine a
short distance away nicely covered by
a pile of sand and firing away deliber
ately at the fort. I called to him to
pull mo In behind his bar of sand, but
he declined on the ground that the fire
was too sharp for him to expose him
self. I persuaded him with my re
volver to change his mind, and In two
seconds he had mo In a place of safe
ty—that is to say, safe by a small mar
gin. for when he fired the Confederate
bullets would snip the sand within a
few Inches of our heads. If the ma
rine had known that my revolver was
soaking wet and could not possibly ho
fired I suppose I would have been
burled the next morning, as many oth
er poor fellows were. As soon as I
f'ould reach some cartridges from n
dead sailor lying near me 1 loaded my
revolver, thinking It might be useful
before the job was finished.
“When 1 was jerked in behind tills
pile of sand I landed across the body
of the only coward I ever saw in the
naval service. At first I was not con
scious that there was a man under me,
so completely had he worked himself
Into the sand. He was actually below
the surface of the ground. The moni
tors were firing over us, and as a shell
came roaring by he pulled his knees tip
to his chin, which hurt me, as it jostled
my broken legs. I said: 'Hello! Are
you wounded?’ 'No, sir,’ ho replied; ‘I
am afraid to move.’ ‘All right, then,’
I said, ‘keep quiet and don’t hurt my
legs again.’ The next shell that came
over he did the same thing and the
next notwithstanding my repeated cau
tions. So I tapped him between the
eyes with the butt of my revolver, and
ho was quiet after that"
the amendment to the City Court of
Sandersville. The new bill which was
up for ratification changed the mode
of placing the officers of the court
from appointment by the Governor to
election by tin' people and has been
discussed heatedly by both sides since
it was passed by the 'legislature at. the
last session. Much interest was mani
fested by the champions of both sides
and while approved by a large majority
of the citizens a good many were very
strongly opposed to it. bill it was rati
fied by a majority of nearly eight hun
dred and the primary for the election
of the officers is fixed for the 22nd of
this month.
So far we have heard of only one
candidate in the race for the judgeship
Mr. E. W. Jordan, who is the present
encumbent. The race lor solicitor so
far has two candidates. Messrs. J. E.
Hyman, who is tin* present solicitor,
and J. J. Harris. Both these gentle
men have a number of friends who are
working hard for them.
VALUE OF STREET TREES.
Advantage of Beautifying Towns While
They Are Building.
Writing of the value of street trees,
J. II. Reed, tree warden of Riverside,
says:
"I was riding lu one of our most
beautiful California towns with one
of Its prominent business men a few
days ago. Passing through a portion
of the city which had been early and
wisely planted to street trees and well
cared for, 1 sakl to my frleud, ‘Sup-
poso all the streets of your city had
boeu planted like this when first im
proved as this was and continuously
cared for ns this hns been, In your
judgment how much would It have
added to your present taxable proper
ty valuation?’ He promptly said, ‘Fif
ty per cent.’
“That city is receiving taxes now
on n valuation of several millions.
One-half of 1 per cent of the annua!
valuation ns the town developed spent
on beautifying Its streets would have
made the entire city now as beautiful
as the part we were driving through.
Had this enhanced the valuation over
what It is now but by 10 per cent In
stead of 50 we see at once the enor
mous advantage of beautifying our
towns while they are building. And
this money consideration is by no
mean3 the largest return. That these
facts are being appreciated more fully
than heretofore is Indicated by the
greater activity In street tree plant
ing and the frequent Inquiries from
city authorities ns well as Individuate
ns to what and how to plant.”

ordered stomach.
It is the result of many
years experience in the treat
ment. of babies and is a tri
umph in this line, because it
brings relief, ease and com
fort and contains absolutely
no opiates or other harmful
drug. The youngest infant
can take it with safety and
it will relieve the older chil
dren as well.
In this warm weather

Me Mid $400.00 in a Stove;
Wife burned up money !
Macon, Ga., Sept. 17, 1908,
H. I’. Schnider who resides on Third St,, became the loser of
eight fifty dollar bills this morning when his wife arose early and
mnde fire in the kitchen stove to prepare the morning meal. lb.
hud worked hard and saved the $400.00 to buy a home, and drew
his money out of the bank to pay for his lot. Having to keep
the money over until the next day, the man placed his money in
ti.e lire grate of his stove to hide it from burglars; his wife not
knowing it was there, made lire in the stove and when husband
went to secure his money it was burning.
If this man had left his money in the Bank and paid for the
lot with a check, lie not only would have had his money safe,hut
the check would have been a double receipt for the money he
paid out.
Put Youk Money in a Bank Where it Is Insured Against
Loss; ask to see the evidence of the insurance.

Public Rights In Natural Scenery.
Though private ownership of lnnd
hns never been more secure than nt
present or the owner more protected
in his rights, nil fair minded persons
arc asking If these rights nre not often
exceeded In the use of land. Certnln.
Institutions, manufactories, etc., may
not he built In residence districts,
where legal restrictions nre bused on
“the greatest good to the greatest mini
her," a majority rule, the Ivisls of our
United States government. Natural
beauty should he a common heritage,
for it la the chief natural enjoyment
of the human family, and we have the
same right to It that wo have to pure
air nml should as quickly resent ui»y
Interference therewith. Billboards, un
sightly buildings, tall fences, the cut
ting down of fine trees except to clear
building sights, should he subjects for
legal restriction lost any fair city or
town eventually become altogether
artificial and unsightly. Beautiful
grounds, well planted streets and
parks go far to counteract the de
struction of natural bonuty by the self
ish and narrow souled landowner, but
these can never entirely replace the
great charm which natural scenery
holds for one and all. If the departing
mortal has not left the world In some
way hotter than he found It he has
lived In vain.
Municipal Tree Control.
There appears to be no legitimate
reason why a city or town should not
appropriate money for the setting out
of trees along streets and highways,
although of course the taxpayer bears
the burden of expense. It Is recog
nized that a sidewalk or curb put In
front of a lot Is improvement to
it, the abutter being taxed for such
improvements, and since a tree Is an
Improvement every whit as necessary
and convenient and still more desir
able from a civic beauty standpoint
the city or town should bear the ex
pense of planting and maintenance or
make a direct assessment on the abut
ting property.
