"Grows piss for profit.” What

about for?
Thomas County will soon have
the prettiest court house square In
the whole State.
The man who had the nerve
propose on Friday the thirteenth, de
served to be turned down.
Politics has crept Into the Board
of Education at Amerlcus and as
usual, there Is the devil to pay.
Many a fat man looks mighty slim
and sylph-like, when the woman in
the case finds that he possesses a
very fat pocketbook.
The college girls who swore they
would not marry men with Incomes
less than two thousand per, wanted
an excuse for remaining single.
Colonel Roosevelt wants to go to
Spain now and tell them how he
went up the hill and knocked Gen
eral Weyler Into a cocked hat.
Charlie Morse Is coming home, his
health completely restored. Won

that declared he would die In two
months.
Shares of Coca-Cola stock, for
merly selling tor a hundred aollars,

Thomas County politics aren't go
ing to be as exciting as they prom
ised to be, unless some of the vot
ers of the Thomasvllle district get
busy and register. Mr. Heeth will
be at the court house every day un
til April sixth, beginning next Sat
urday.
Although no formal expression has
been heard from Hon. Roscoe Luke
on the subject It seems to be gen
erally conceded that he will contest
again with Judge Park for tile hon
or of representing the Second dis
trict In the House of Representa
tives. If he does, it will be another
warm race with some of the compll-
caltionp that existed before elimi
nated. It la known that Congress
man Park commanded the support
of many of his political enemies In
the former race. These he could
hardly depend on In another race.
It is also true that he has won many
new friends since his election. The
prospects are the race will again
he close and hot, unless there Is be
tween now and election time a con
siderable overturning in sentiment.

SOITH GEORGIA AWAKE.
It seems reasonably sure that
South Georgia la going to take a
hand In the political fight this year,
and really once go Into the fray
with the determination of making a
hard fight for at least a share of the
pie. Whether It be for Governor or
Senator, or some other office, no
body seems to know, but there Is a
general activity la this section that
shows beyond question that tbe peo
ple are thinking about it and de
termined to take a hand.
Many people In this county and
those surrounding have suggested
tbe name of Hon. J. Fondren Mitch
•11. as a man whom they would de
light to
Varied and fanciful are some of
tbe suggestions which nave been ad
vanced In the past thirty days with
reference to the Senatorial selection
In Georgia next fall. Tbe general
opinion Is that Governor Slaton
wants to be Senator, and If hu is an
average, normal, human man, It Is
more than likely that he does. This
desire Is natural and one for which
he Is not to be censured by friend
or enemy.
The talk Beems now to bavo cen
tered around the demand by a few
sore politicians tor a repetition of
the old fight - In Georgia. Hoke
Smith goes back to the Senate, not
withstanding what any man or set
of men In Georgia can say about It.
He has made good and he is tbe
right man for the position. Fur
ther than that, the people of Geor
gia know It. He cannot be defeat
ed by any man In the State.
Mr. Slaton Is being suggested as
a possible opponent of Mr. Smith in
an effort to bring on a contest.
Bo It said right here and now, and
with every degree of certainty, Mr.
Slaton will not run against Mr.
Smith. This is not from Mr. Slaton
and it is not authorized, but It is
absolutely true. But we have no
Idea but that Mr. Slaton will run
for the Senate, and that he will be
opposed In a fair and open fight by
Messrs. Felder and Hardwick, and
perhaps one or two more.
The statement that Mr. Slaton
would not run In the event that
3outh Georgia united on a man, wa3
possibly the fertile product of some
politician, either to concentrate the
Ideas of South Georgia on Colonel
West, or to pave the way for, "You
weren't united on a man, so what
are you kicking for.”
We would love to see a Senator
elected from South Georgia, we have
always been for some recognition for
this section, but we would most as
suredly not sacrifice our Ideas of the
best man for the position to vote for
man whom we considered Infer
ior Just because he happened to live
In a county situated South uf the
Atlanta and Co.” line. Mr. Slaton
has an ambition to be Senator; he
will, we believe make the race, and
if Georgia wants one of Its cleanest,
ablest men to go there he will be
the Junior 3enator next December.
about women and by women about
other women will be materially les
sened in Georgia If there are many
cases In many counties like the one
tried In the adjacent county of Gwin
nett this week, when Luther Terry,
a white boy, was sent to the chain-
gang for twelve months, without n
chance to pay a fine, for defaming
the good name of a girl who had, at
her father's command. Instructed him
to cease paying attentions to her.
The tales be told persistently were
damaging and In court proven un
true. This Is the first case of the
kind that lawyers of this section re
call. The act was passed In 1909.”
Splendid! Of late days men—es
pecially young men—are becoming
too quick of tongue, too free of
speech, and too swift of gab in
speaking in detriment of young
women. This Is true In Augusta as
It Is true In other communities of
which we know.
There was the time In the South
—and It was an effective way, even
If In law Irregular—when sons,
brothers and fathers, with a cow
hide, met this kind of scandal mong-
lng with lashes and slashes across
the face, head and body.
The chalngang sentence of twelve
months will have Its lnfiuence, for,
by fear of the law, the assailant of
woman’s fair name must be checked,
In that he has little of honor and
little of pride to which to appeal or
which to hurt or harm or shock.
We want to thank the Gwinnett
father, the Gwinnett judge, the
Gwinnett solicitor and the Gwlnnott
Jury in this case. We want to re
print the news story, and we want
all the papers In the state to pr'nt
It, that the scandal mongers may
read it and .ponder It, and that they
may know that their Insinuations
and falsehoods will land them in Jail
with "stripes across their backs and
shackles on their feet.’’
It Is high time that It be made
absolutely plain that the good name
of a good woman shall not be at the
mercy of the sneer, the Jest and the
He of the fool or the knave. The
Gwinnett court has started the work.
The penitentiary Is big enough to
hold all of them

SOLTttH GEORGIA TOWNS PRO.
GRESSIVE.
Every town In South Georgia la
going forward. Some are moving
with more alacrity than others, but
we know of none that is standing
still. The progressive spirit is alive
throughout the Southern half of the
State, and civic pride and the germ
of community enterprise are more
or less in evidence everywhere.
Pelham Is one of the thrifty, grow.
Ing towns of Southwest Georgia, and
the people there are now preparing
to vote on an issue of bonds for the
amount of 930,000 to be used tor
public improvements. Sixteen thou
sand dollars will be used for the new
school building, $4,000 for paving,
$5,000 for a jail and a Are depart
ment, $4,000 for an extension of the
water and light system and $1,000
for the extension of the sewerage
system. The bonds will bear Inter
est at a rate of 5 per cent. It Is
thought the Issue will carry at the
election which will be held on April
follow Gwinnett In this. In every
case of the kind the law must be
mercilessly applied, however hard it
may be for the young women and
her relatives to encounter the court
ordeal necessary thereto.—Augusta
Chronicle.

FOA FAISON COM
Atlanta, March 17. —State Prison
Commissioner E. L. Rainey, who will
ho a candidate to succeed himself
this summer, has resigned as a mem.
ber of the State Democratic execu
tive committee from the Third dis
trict
An interesting precedent Is estab
lished by Colonel Rainey’s resigna
tion, before formally announcing his
candidacy to succeed himself to a
state-house office. There Is no rule
under which Col. Rainey would not
have a perfect right to continue
serving on the committee and at the
same time make the race, but he
has told his friends that after think
ing the matter over, he believed the
only right course for him to take
was the one he adopted.
Colonel Rainey Is the only mem
ber of the prison board, whose term
is now expiring, and who will have to
stand for re-election this year. So
far as can be learned, he Is not go
ing to hare any opposition.
BUI Stafford, the old negro who
drove the Tidy Cart Is dead. It oc
curred last night, after an Illness of
some time. BUI has been with the
city for thirty years, perhaps more,
and there was scarcely a more capa
ble negro In the service. He was In
charge of the trash wagon wuon
'Tidy Thomasvllle” was a slogan
that meant something and the town
was as clean ns a .pin at all times
and In all seasons. He has contin
ued steadily In the service and rare
ly ever lost a day from work.

A scandal monger has come
grief in Georgia; has gone to the

tenced there for twelve months.
And justly so. This young man,
with his glib tongue, went about his
community uttering untruths abort

ment.
The case came up in Gwinnett
County. Readers of The Chronicle
will recall It. It having been given
In the news columns at tbe time. An
extract from the telegram, under an
Athens, Ga., date, Is:
“Scandal and careless tain by men
Ready. Ky.—" I was not able to do
anything (or nearly six months," writes
Mrs. Laura Bratcher, of this place, "and
was down in bed for three months.
I cannot tell you how I suffered with
my head, andf with nervousness and
womanly troubles.
Our family doctor told my husband he
could not do me any good, and he had
to rive It up. We tried another doctor,
but he did not help me.
At last, my mother advised me to take
Cardui, the woman’s tonic. I thought
it was no use tor I was nearly dead and
nothing seemed to do me any good. But
J took eleven bottles, and now I am able
to do aU ol my work and my own
washing.
' Uiink Cardui Is the best medicine In
the world. My weight has increased,
and I look the picture ol health. "
