The above figures are taken from a report given out from the De
partment of Agriculture. They show conclusively that Georgia is
growing poorer each year raising cotton alone. They are an unanswer
able argument in favor of raising less cotton, and more corn, hay, oats,
wheat, live stock and poultry. Georgia is not raising enough feed
stuff's to keep hunger an I want from her doors,. We buy corn, meat
and beef from the West. Last year we bought chickens and eggs from
Tennessee and elsewhere. We even buy butter from the dairies of the
North and West. Yet, everyone of these things can be grown to bet
ter advantage in Georgia than any State in the North and West.
Farmers paid *4O per ton retail last year for hay to make cotton, when
the profits in hay on a single acre would amount to nearly #75.

Two More Convicts
Make Good Their Escape
About midnight Sunday there
was an alarm from the Camp that
two convicts had escaped. These
were “Old Jim” and ayoungboy,
called “Buckshot,” both negroes.
The warden, deputy warden and
the night guard were absent fiom
the Camp.
“Old Jim” was a 30-year man
and had the best judgment of any
hand in the gang. It has been fif
teen years since Jim was first sent
up. This is the third time he has
escaped. He has served about five
years of the fifteen.
When the alarm was given Capt.
Frost, former Warden of this
county (now of Iladersham), was
called. He responded, and with
Mr. Hill, of Clarksville, with his
dogs, were here by 4 o’clock a. m.
The colored people had held ser
vices at their church about two
hundred yards from the camp, on
that night and there were too many
tracks for the dogs.
Some time on Monday morning
it was reported from Bushville dis
trict that it was believed that the
escaped convicts were or had been
on Mr. Luther Mize’s plantation.
Upon a close search no trace of
them could be found.
Late Monday evening Oaptaiu
Frost and Mr. Hill returned to
Homer, on their way home. Mr.
Hill presented a bill of #32.00 for
his servises, automobile and dogs.
Judge Hill thought the charges ex
cessive, outrageous and refused to
pay it. lie was offered #IB.OO and
Mr. Hill refused to accept this
amount.

A Card from J. A. Martin.
Mize, Ga., April 7, 1013.
As Jugde Hill has seen cause to
publish a card in last week’s Jour
nal in regard to the appointment
of Cattle Inspector for Banks coun
ty, I do not think a few words, in
reply from me, improper.
1 have been informed that on
Monday of court week, Dr. Mur
phy came down from the hotel to
go before the grand jury and ask
for the appointment of an inspec
tor. He saw Judge Hill and was
told by him not to go before the
jury as he would furnish him a
man. Dr. Murphy took his ad
vice and ignored the grand jury.
No doubt the power of recoin
mending these appointments is in
the Ordinary, but the precedent
for acting in these matters has
been with the grand jury. Judge
Perkins before appointing L. B.
Jones and Ira Daily had the recom
mendation of the grand jury, and
Judge Perkins refused to undertake
this work until he had the assur
ance of the approval of the grand
jury.
One of Judge Hill’s strongest
supporters was before the jury and
said you, Judge, did not want to
go forward in any matter without
first getting a recommendation
from the grand jury. The grand
jury was only trying to help you,
not interfering with any preroga
tive belonging to you.
I think the truth is that you,
wished to reward your friend, Mr.
Vaughn, for political service ren
dered, and was afraid to let the
matter go before the grand jury.
Your policy Judge seems to be to
reward your friends. This is
Jacksonian Democracy and may be
wise you, whether it be for the
best interest of the county or not.
You appointed an inexperienced
warden at a salary of #75.00 per
month; you made your son’s busi
ness partner deputy warden, and
raised the salary from #40.00 to
#60.00 per month; your son in law
is a guard, and all your appoint
ments of road overseers come from
the ranks of your political sup
porters, except one, and in order
to do this you had in several in
stances to appoint men oyer 50
yearn old.
It remains to be seen whether
your administration is to be run
in the interest of the citizens as a
whole, or in the interest of your
political friends and kindred.
Respectfully,
,1. A. Martin.
