•VOL 2. NO 50. VIENNA. GA. SATURDAY DECEMBER 6,1902. TWICE-A-WEEK $1.00 PER YEAR A CARD FROM REP RESENTATIVE FIELDS Writes the Hews that He is Aivays in His Seat and Looking Oat for the People’s Interest. Atlanta, Nov. 4, 1002. Editor News: I notice in your issue of yesterday that you have a great deal to say con cerning members of the legislature who have been absent from their duties. Now, your position is correct; every member who fails to discharge his solemn duty to the people should be called to account to his constituency for his neglect. But the New^O’of course, is a local paper, and the people naturally think the articles appearing therein are intended to effect local subjects. Therefore, I du^think y.ou should expressly point out whether or not Dooly's representatives have been faithful in the discharge of the truBt in their hands. Speaking for myself, I want to say that I havo voted on every important measure that lias come before that branch of the legislature in which I have had the extreme mm of repre senting the best people in • one of the best counties. I have taken a'position •on every question coming before our body, and stand ready to defend my action in each instance. 1 am ghyL «tb* say further that) t^e-nositUm^Y have * tSkJ&rrtVlTvt?'ui#i al ly been sustained by a hnndsotae majority of the house, and I believe’met the approbation of the people of Dooly county, The people who read the daily press have been able to keep up with ray actions partially, and I am delighted to have received many letters from - Dooly county citizens commending my course. In Justice to the people I represent, and especially to myself, do .not refer to the legislature as a whole as failing of duty which includes all the mem bers unless yon can point out specific ally the action complained of. In other words, if I have done my duty fully, say so; if I have not, then point out one instance wherein I have failed in the least. Besides, I believe it is the duty of the papers of the county to let the people know exactly what all their public servants aro doing at all times, as it is my duty to serve the people in an honest, courageous man ner. Trusting I may be ef some service to the county I lov. so wall, and that the Nows may go on doing good in the future as in the past, I am, . With Profound Respect, S. B. FIELDS, We publish in this qbove a card from Representative Fields, of this county, called forth by an editorial, which ap peared in a former issue of the News dealing with the absence of members of the lower house of the legislature from their seats during the business sessions of thnt body. When writing the article, of course, we meant to oriticize only those who were guilty of the offense charged, and it was to them that the article was directed. We have done no Innocent member an in justice, nor do we intend to. Mr. Fields, ns far os we know, lias done h s full duty to his people, and is always . in his seat when the time comes for him to be there, and we ore glad to say so much for him. Card of Thanks.

CASE, Judge Spear Denies the Application for Permanent Injunction Against the A. St B. In the application made by the Continental Trust Company and the Baltimore Trust arid Guaiantee Company before Judge Spear in the United States court in Macon, for a pernmnent injunction against the Atluntic & Birmingham for the purpose bf restraining the lat ter road from crossing the Sea board’s tracks at Cordele, the court dismissed the procceedttigs by re fusing to grant the injunction prayed for. Judge Spear, in bis decision said the case was under the jurisdiction of the state courts In order to get it into the United States court, the application for permanent, in junction was brought in the name of the Continental Trust Company and the Baltimore Ttust & Guar antee Company, but Judge Spear said he regarded the Seaboard ns the real complainant, and there fore the matter, was one for the state courts to settle and not he. A teport from Cordele says the Seaboard had replaced an engine on their track at the spot where the A- & B. has to cross, and it is very.uncertain when they will be able to cross. Some Newspaper^,. Steal More thanTTKey Write. Most all newspapers are guilty of appropriating articles without giv ing credit, but when it domes to stealing outright an entire column or so, of editorial matter and pass ing it off us original matter.certain’iy the limit has been reached. Surely no honest newspaper wishes to deceive its readers into the belief that matter which bus been clipped from other papers is original. Be-* sides,.it. is .not such tin easy matter for an editor to deceive his readers in this manner. In writing, every man unconsciouly assumes a style which is peculiarly his own, and the dost * 1 , observant newspaper tenders can detect at once whether or not the editor is using his own matter or that writteu by someone else. Some editors appropriate the editorial matter of othets without credit for the purpose of passing off they are learned when they are not, and some do it because they are too lazy to do the necessary work it implies. One thing is very certain, and that is that u newspaper never gains anything by stealing its mat ter. As we said before it is a hard matter to fool the people who read the papers.
