Official Newspaper of the Sheriff, Ordi
nary, Board of Commissioners of Roads
and Revenues and Board of Education of
Wayne Oonnty Georgia,
JESUP, GA., JUNE; 6th, 1007.
Jesup is fortunate m having
one thing that will draw desira
ble citizens to invest and make
their homes here—a most excell
ent system of public schools.
In no section of Georgia is prop
erty advancing so rapidly in val
ue as in South Georgia. Jesup
and Wayne county are right in
in the swim in this particular.
--
Every well equipped school
noueo hoviKO mid ana everv every niece piece of or food loou
road added in our county is a
monument to the intelligence and
thrift of our people.
Reports from all points of
South Georgia seem to indicate
good crops. In our immediate
section, the outlook was never
better. Both corn and cotton,
also vegetables and watermelons,
aro looking extremely promising.
Tf every one who lives here
would always say a good word for
his town, instead of grumbling
at his neighbor, the confi
dence that other people would
then have is such place would
not only bring to your own midst
desirable citizens, but prosperity
as well.
Jealousy among business men is
the very greatest folly. Because
another has succeeded in a new eti
terprise is no reason why through
jealous feelings you should rush
into the same,specially so, when
there is room for but one. In
this particular every individual
should hold his own sell down.
Schemers don’t, always succeed.
Especially is the tail of the
sohemer hard when his premi
ses upon which he acts and oper
.t« art based j
SIS. it , 19 . .always . , , better to collie

waut, act on principles, and treat
your fellow man with justice.
That’s the kind of acting that
brings success.
Hon, Joseph A. Morris, in –
short address at the Armorv Mon
day expressed a? his personal
opinion and judgtmen thrt the sys
tem of local govermnentjns exercis
ed by a Board of commissioners
of Roads and Revenues is the very
Lest method by which the affairs
of a county ean be governed.
That’s souud and sensible.
The „ Sentinel . , cares , but little as
.
to how many names the young ;
priuoe of Spain has, or as divorce to the ] J
sensatioual features of a 1
—-7 s r“” “i Fo “
Hundred in New 4ork, v or even j
when the Thaw murder trial will ■
begin again. But we are interest- ]
ed iu all those things that will j
help to develope our comity aud
make our people wiser, happier
and more prosperous. Our mis -1
B 3 iou is not in discussing but things j
that do not concern do everything us, we j
stand ready to pos * ,
sible for the good of our homes
and the well being of our people. |
The Sentinel is pleased to have]
such eminent indorsement in its
advocacy for better schools and
longer terms as Congressman W.
G. Brantley. Local School Tax- j
ation is looked upon by that dis
tinguished statesman as the only
really promising method through
which Georgians will ever be able
to take the proper ranks as a state
that holds education to be one of
the pillars upon which rests our
dearest and greatest liberties.
--------------.........■—
The editors of the Sentinel have
searched long and diligently in
both Webster’s “International”
Dictionary and in Funk – Wag
nail’s, “Standard,” and have
been unable to find therein
words “exportations” and ‘
tiscal,” hence they mugt
have no meaning. Therefore, as
nothing has said nothing, nothing
need be said in reply.
Newspaper men are often told
by local merchants that
don’t pay.” No greater
1111 Gath was'ever uttered. Print
ms Ink has made many fortunes,
•
and property used will make any
busiuess better. The truth is that
successful businessmen sov that
they don t see how some men can
keep t heir business going without
the help of advertising. In
advertising is the great mogul
that pushes busiuess to success.
Wayne county dou’t need for
eigu immigration near as much as
we need good substantial farmers
from North and South Carolina,
Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee
and several other states to
here where the productiveness of
our soil w ill reward their labors
much more bountifully than in
the state* named. Hard
far tilers who have families, who!
will also makegood citizens, whose
labors will help to develops our
manifold natural resources, and
whose efforts will 1 SU<‘< igsful |

need, not the lawlesi foreign sort. I

The Sentinel has no sympathy
in those little Jefforts that come
weakly to service once or twice in
a vorry great while suggesting
the repeal of the act creating the
Board of County Commissioners
The fact is, the princirle upon
which the Board is created, is not
only sound but also right. Sure
ly five representative men, from
the several sections of Wayne can
much better know the needs of
the people of a county than any
one man, and can then better
therefore do that which is best
for the people,
If the Board is not composed of
the right kind ot men throughout,
there is a better remedy than to
abolish the entire system The
fact is, the arguments used just
now in favor of the abolition of
the Board are not only unsound,
but absolutely foolish and idiotic,
Who, for instance, would be so
void jf sense as to argue that
because the . perhaps Clerk of the
Superior Court, or the Sheriff or
any other county officer is not giv
<ng the very fullest satisfaction,
the office should be abolished?
''Hv, the proper remedy ™ ,
is
g l©ct the right man for the place
the next time. And so, if
is anything w oug with tne
,;ll f Board, which even the Senti
L, el fails to see, why when election
time comes next year, the voters
should endeavor by their votes to
place the right men into these no- 1
®itions power and , trust. I hat , a
Uie more sensible way to proceed.

Definition of a Box Car.
Not all the instruction given to young
railroad men is intensely serious. The
following definition was recently of
fered to a beginner: “A box car be
] 0tlgs to the fowl family. During the
spring and summer months it can be
tracks, and it Is easy to capture. In
the autumn, however, like certain oth
er fowls, it goes into hibernation or
ftle9 to ot her climes. Scattered in
stances are known where specimens
are captured during the autumn
switch crew lg sometimes used in suar
ing the box ear, but main strength is
tlje best weapon. In any case the
nolse nke tUe nattering of a waybill
will make the quarry disappear. Some
r »»ways own large flocks of domesti
cated box cars, but they are carefully
g uar <jed during the closed season. The
wild box car when caught anil fairly
wo11 loaded becomes I'^ctly station
ary.”—Sau Francisco Argonaut.

Who Fra Diavoio Was.
Fra Diavolo was the nickname given
Michele Pezza, a celebrated renegade
monk and Italian brigand, who was
born in 1700. It should be noted that
the opera of Auber has nothing in com
mon with Fra Diavolo but the name.
Pezza was first a stocking weaver,
then a soldier in the Neapolitan army,
then a soldier in the pope’s service, and
finally he became a monk, but was ex
pelled. In the mountains of Calabria
Pezza took to brigandage, and such
was his notoriety and so great were his
cruelties that the people nicknamed
him Fra Diavolo. It is consoling to
know that he was eventually executed
in 1S0G.—New York American.
