• Mr. .1 \V. Wheeler and Mrs.
Mamie Youngblood paid us a
pleasant visit last Friday. While
here Mr. Wheeler paid up sub
scriptions for four of his children
who live in different parts of the
state
David bureell, a young man
from the northern part of the
county, was adjudged insane by a
jury last week and Sheriff Harden
left with him Tuesday for the
asylum at Milledgeville. We send
more people to the asylum than to
the chain gang.
The courthouse house well was
cleaned out Monday morning and
four rat* in last stages of de
composition were hauled out and
viewed by many of the thirsty
ones who had been drinking
water off their rotten hides for
weeks. The usual amount of dip
pens were also brought up.
The Knou Sunday School Cole
brution will lie held at Lula luly
18. Seventeen schools are on the
program and a good time for the
eli ild leu is anticipated. A large
crowd always attends this cele
bration and are entertainml by the
good people of Hula and surround
ing country.
The convicts arc doing some
much needed work on the roads
leading into Homer and some ini
improvements are being made on
the ground around the court house.
The tics' roots, which were
barren at many places, causing the
trees t > decay, are being covered,
and the yard is being leveled
where it had washed and had be
come uneven and unsightly. This
work had been urged by manypeo
pie for several years but from one
cause and another it was delayed,
but is at last nearing completion.
The ladies of Homer spread a
sumptuous dinner for the convicts
Wednesday at noon w hieh was
much enjoyed by the prisoners.
After dinner they listened to a
phonograph for thirty minutes and
then t'ol. Oscar Brown made then
a nice little talk and explained the
best way for them to get along and
gain their freedom. Some of
them, no doubt, have ideas regard
iug the quickest way to freedom
that they would not swap for the
t'ol's. They are all in good
health, and are treated as hn
inanely as the system under which
they work will permit. Warden
Brown has received very Mattering
comments from the prison com
mission.
To The Jury Revisors
•Gentlemen—Let us get together
the first Monday in July for or
ganization and &°t a term to revise
the jury of Hanks county.

A Card
It seems that “Header” in reply
to my piece in the Journal takes
it that I was defending Frank and
starts out saying that 95 per cent
of the people of Georgia were
against Frank and that “public
sentiment grew against him.” 1 >id
not that make it easier to convict
him! The motive power in the
Frank prosecution was Frank
Hooper and not Mr. Dorsey, be
cause Dorsey fell his inability to
successfully prosecute Frank and
called in Mr. Hooper, one among
the ablest prosecuting attorneys in
Georgia, to prosecute Hie case for
the State. If anyone is entitled to
tie Governor because of the Frank
conviction it is Frank Hooper.
The failure by Mr. Dorey t* con
vict Mrs. Grace with point blank
evident e and Mrs. Applebaum af
ter she confessed to the shooting of
her husband ought to disqualify
him for the Governorship or if to
tie a successful Solicitor General
would qualify or entitle one to be
Governor, then our lamented Char
ley Hill, Mr. Dorsey’s predecessor,
would have been governor long
ago and would have died in ihc U.
S. Senate like his grand old father.
Mr. Header do you recollect
Lieutenant Hobson who with oth
ers took the Merriinae out in Hie
channel of Santiago and sunk it,
when he came back to Now York 1
began to think the people were go
ing to deify him. Every woman
that cou! 1 kissed him from New
York to the far west. The people
nearly went crazy alwnt him and
never was satisfied until they sent
him to Congress just for bursting
one bomb in an old vessel. All we
heard from him when in Congress
was that little Japan was going to
t hrash all the hound out of the I .
S. if we did not build a powerful
Navy. That was about all that
could be heard from him.
So the people of Alabama took a
retrospective view of the situation
and decided that they had made a
mistake and did not want the bomb
burs ted in congress. So when lie
aspired to the I . 8. Senate they
elected him by an overwhelming
majority to stay at home and burst
homos. Now let Georgia profit by
Alabama experience. VVe have a
man here in North Georgia who is
an experienced legislator anil is
closely allied o the farmiug class
as he has large farming interests
himself anil knows the needs of the
farmers
Mr. Header I will ask you a
question. Suppose it had been
Gov. Slaton, Mayor Woodward, or
some other prominent man in At
lantain Frank's place just as Frank
was on the day of the murder do
you think that Mr. Dorsey could
have got a true bill against any of
them with Conley’s evidence. I
leave the ear here. K. .1 I>.
I will be in Homer
next Tuesday and
Wednesday June 23
and 25th, when I will
examine your eyes
and fit you with cor
rect glasses.

Mr. t'iecro Cagle who has the
appearance of being the best ltd
man who lives on the Southern
lailway between Washington and
Atlanta, spent two hours in Ho
mer Tuesday.
He said the large old oaks in
the court yard looked good to him,
that he was a great lover of “dark
shades. ’’

BAN US COUNTY JOURNAL HOME*, GA.,
To the Readers of the Jour
nal Concerning Foot
Washing in the
Church
Just like some of our good old
Hard Shell Baptist brethern to he
always wanting to dabble in tin*
water. That is just about as deep
into a God’s gospel as they can
see. Sometimes lam fearful that
some of our people will depend too
much upon miner tilings and neg
lect the more important things.
As for mysell I am not depending
on foot-washing or works of any
kind to save me. When I appear
before the throne of God and come
into his presence I expect to be
judged out of my heart, and not
by my feet. If I can lx* able to
ap|x*ar before my God with the
blood marks on my heart I will
not bother about my feet. Now to
the 15 eh. St. John:
Jesus clearly reveals and freely
sets fourth the fact of the non is
cntial of washing feet in the ease
of Judas as he was present when
Christ washed th“ disciples fe> t;
Judas having in his heart to lad ray
Christ for the thirty pieces of sil
ver the washing seems not to re
move the trouble. As tar as an
act of humility, I can’t see any act
of humility in one man washing a
mother’s feet to him to wash
his feet. That puts Ixith on equal
ity. I think it was an act of hu
mility for Christ Lord And Master
over the disciples to wash their
feet.
John 13 oh. 10 v. He that is
washed needeth not save to w ash
his feet but is clean even w hite.
That is, fie that lias once truly re
ceived the gospel, who has been
justified by faith and filtered into
peace with God will never again
require such renewal, but w ill re
ijuire, nevertheless, continual
watchfulness and prayei that in
his daily walks he may keep him
self unspotted from the world. If
I was called on to locate the trou
ble to day in the church 1 would
not go about looking at men's feet.
I will tell you dear readers the
trouble is not on the out side, the
trouble is within.
Nothing less than the pure,
sound gospel, which C the power
ol <od unto salvation, will help
the cause. The coward ice in the
ministry to-day is one of the great
troubhs — men afraid of their jobs.
The blood of Christ needs to lie
preached rsl and fresh,not thinned
too in ch with water, for without
the shedding of blood there i> no
remi ion.
John 15 th. 3 v. Now ye are
clean through the wools which I
have spoken unto you.
