Not with sensible people
1 There wouldn’t be much honor
in getting into the gubernatorial
chair in case of a deadlock in the
convention. However, it would
be u better way than none at £.11
with some of us.
If Mr. Guerry hasn’t already lost
all the Primitive votes, he will af
ter they learn what he said about
them at Cedartown, as published
ip unother column.
The East Point Plow Boy figures
that “Terrell will carry 9S counties,
ifistell 31 and Guerry 11." The
Plow Boy would come nearer the
truth if it reduced Terrell about 40
counties, giving 30 of them to Es-
tell and 10 to Guerry.—Jackson
Argus.
The News dislikes very much to
have anything to.sny in its columns
■ip regard to .county officers—but
when any candidate is wrongfully
assailed by another paper we will
defend that candidate to the best
of our. ability and that without en
gaging in personalities.
When Joe Teireil at Forsyth the
other day turned upon the man that
had been pursuing him for a year
with banter, hectoring and abuse,
it sent a thrill of excitement through
the state.
We have never known such pa
tience and forbearance as Mr Terrell
has shown; For three months this
man has been going from county to
county elucidating his platform,
declaring his principles and bolding
aloft the banner of hope and good,
cheer to tfie people— denying that
all is woe,’or that the halt we hear
is half as bad as we hear it—not
saying a word derogatory of his op
ponents. The even tenor of an
honorable man’s way he pursued
until those who were yelping at his
heels began to get reckless, charg
ing all kinds of infamy at his door,
not the least of these cowardice
But they kicked the sleeping lion
one time too many. He rose and
shook his mane and like dewdrops
the calumnies scattered unto mist.
The people were told the first time
that his principal opponent and
traducer had also a record, and that
that record was directly opposed to
those things for which hi now stood
In a word Guerry had voted against
and helped to defeat the local', op
tion bill which has brought prohi
bition to 117 counties; whereas he
now poses as the Great, Original
and Only prohibitionist, and wants
it in greater chunks; that Guerry,
now in a State of righteous indig
nation abont free passes, was once
a dispenser ot free passes; that
Guerry, now tearing his shirt about
lobbyism, was once the king of
lobby, .with partner Hall at his el
bow; that Guerry, now fighting
the railroads, wanting to , ‘«ut ’em
alive” was once a railroad lawyer
and the chief persecutor of the
' saints he would now woo. Ter
rell’s arraignment was quick,
throughout and severe when he
’ went at it.
John Temple Graves sized up
this mnn when he declared that Mr
Terrell, in dddition to being a
strong and able man was also re-,
markably amiable, and pure us
gold.—Valdosta Times,
WHAT IS THE TROUBLE?
SOME PEOPLE DON’T THINK.
A newspaper should be as free
to speak it’s convictions on public
.questions, and chum pain the cause
qf its choice in politics as much so
as a private citizen. Speaking for
the News, we are going to do so.
If wc haven’t got backbone enough
to do so we will go out of business.
There, is one. tiling, certuin^ the
withdrawing of support tf6m us by
parties, who, don’t agree with us
will not cause us to shut up our
mouth on any public question.' Of
course we would regret it that such
a step be taken against us t We are
endeavoring, to treat botli sides ot
all questions of pliblic interest fair
ly by allowing them the use of our
columns free ot charge and retain
ing the right to speak as we please
also. Up to the present, »vu don’t
believe we h$ye lost a, single friend
of the paper by so doing, but on
other hand have gained, several to
our personal knowledge. We are
in the newspaper business to make
an honest living and be' a power
for good in Dooly cotinty and we
are wprking to that end. •
We know a merchant who
bought 100 mailing cards for $3,50
to send out an advertisement on
He “jewed” the printer to $1,50 to
get his ad printed on them. Then
he bought a thousand 1 cent stumps
to put on them. He spent nearly
a day in writing the addresses,
value ot his time $2.00. In all it
cost him $16.00 to send but a
thousand cards.
He could have put the same
amount ot mutter m his local paper
which has circulation of 2000 twice
a-week, and is lead by three people
in every family for $3.00. lt.would
have reached twice us many people
apd would Lave been read by six
times us many, for less than one
fifth the amount he spent for curds.
Some people had rather Hhrow
away ten dollars than to pay their
home paper.-fiv.e, to do a service
that will bring them returns worth
five times the cost.
Some peole don’t think that
newspaper advertising is the cheap
est and best advertising in the
world.—Waycross Journal.
Foley’s Honey and TOt
for children,pfe,sure. No opiate
Treasurer Park announces that
there is not enough moftey in tbs
treasury to make another payment
to the school teachers, and the re
sult will be that Gov. Candler will
have to make another borrow of
$200,000.
The above paragraph looks in
nocent, but. it means much. It
means, for one thing, that Geor
gia’s legislators and public officials
ought to be able to devise some plan
by which public servants like school
teachers might be paid when their
salaries are due. Suppose a mer
chant should tell his clerks that he
.is making plenty of money, but his
business -system is such that be can
pay their salaries only occasionally
He pays December’s salery in Feb
ruary, January’s in April, and so on
That merchant would be put down
us incompetent ond his employes
would find something else to do if
they possibly could..
Thus it is with the state and the
school teachers. Georgia is rich
enough and taxes are high enough
for every school teacher in the state
t) get his salary promptly, and it 16
a reflection upon somebody if he
does not get it.—Dublin Courier.

Primitive Baptist And Dupont Guerry
The Cedartown Standard reports
that in a speech delivered ut Cedar
town, Hon. Dupont Guerry held
up the following array as being
against him:
‘•All the newspapers of the state,
all the railroads, all the politicians,
all the lobbyists, all the whiskey
men and the Hardshell Baptists.”
Drayton Cogitations ”
(written in chapters.)
Chapter 1.
Miss Georgia Eva Penny, pretty os a
pink and sweet as pretty, came down
to the picnic Saturday and with her ns
escort came Prof. Lasseter. They do
tell that the Prof., althonot a miser, is
on the “quiviva” fon-Ever Penny. By
“George” I trust he will “Wade” thru
“O. K.”
The Drayton and Wells schools under
the “tutelage” of Misses Saddler and
Agnew, and chaperoned by these esti
mable ladies, united and “pic nict” at
the “old rendezvous”—the Drayton
expansion bridge Saturday. The spread
was a feast fit to appease and tickle the
appetite of the most fanciful epecure.
The menu including the traditional
chicken pie, yearling mellow cats—the
national bird of feast, and “strawberry
short cuke,” etc., etc.
Mr. K. E. Shirah is acting bachelor
pro tem, as his better half, Mrs. Shirah
is visiting at the Central City this
week.
Messrs. Perry Busbee and Stonewall
Adkins, the two “Apollos”of their neck
of the woods, came to the picnic Sat
urday.
Two charming and pretty girls from
Americus, Miss Eugenia Collier and
sister attended the festival Saturday.
Mr. Durham Lewis, the bachelor
of “Oak Park” Tucker, Sumter county,
Ga., was over making silent mental
estimates as to whom he might, could
or would prefer to become joint pro
prietors with himself to and over his
elegant home. But “Ido” know “old
Grey” is already included in joint
ownership.

I have used Dr. Tichenor*s
In my family and on my convict farm for
the past eight years. I find that it does
all that you claim tor it. It is especially
fine for poison oak. One of my convicts
was poisoned from head to foot and I
applied your Dr. TIcbenor's Antiseptic

hours.

Gus Mason was in town the other day
in search of a bottle of Or. Tichenor’.s
Antiseptic. His face was poisoned by
thunderwood -and had swollen until It
was “a sight," his eyes almost hidden
trom view. Not finding Antiseptic for
sale, wc cave - him our sample bottle.

cured him sound and well.—Bunks
