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. Hesp*. H.J.Havid. 1 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. Dr. J. P. Parks Cicero Cagel 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. ’’ Dr. J. P. Parks, the ; Commerce optome trist. will be in Homer next Tuesday and Wednesday June 23- 24. Amazing. The scientists tell us. as the result of study of a paleolithic skull, that primitive man was able to think be fore he was able to speak. How times hare changed.—New York Tribune. 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.
