kick off.

Dorsey says the Macon News.
Well, there is no law against run
ning that we ever heard of.
The cold weather of last week
was very useful after all, Blue
stem col lards are heap better
When the frost falls on them.
The Carnival is gone, so is a
few of our old rusty nicklee, that
is some of the folks change not
ours. We had none.
The solid South and the Golden
West played h with the
sordid east says Bud while in
town last Saturday morning.
One more week passed and no
body killed by; a speeding auto.
What great and lasting mercies
seem to be extended this town.
How long will it last?
The papers say that the
“Adamson Eight Hour Law'* is
being attacked. Well, what of
it? Are’nt th£ Ten Command
ments in for many a jolt too?
CirdUs in Thpinasville Monday.
That old newspaper gang over
there was always a lucky crowd.
Had a barbecue and now a circus
and we had neither. It is a long
lane that hasnp turning.
See where Alabama will offer
Underwood for’the Presidency in

The labor situation has become
a source of worry as well as
speculation in this section. The
time is here for some careful and
serious thought to be given this
matter. *
Glory be, the ladies all had
seats on the benches in the park
Sunday afternoon. It is some
what of an improvement over
what we have seen the past year
or more in that direction.
The North Georgia Methodists
will meet at Griffin, Ga.. next
time. We hope to goodness that
fellow Duke will be on his good
behavior and not have those
preachers resoluting about bad
habits of editors.

It we can just get that circus,
the Savannah Press that Alta-
maha Bridge and Dick Grubbs
get those bi-ennial sessions of
the legislature happiness will
just ooze out in gobs all over this
country. Iiow about making this
thing a spiked team and go after
these things in a bunch?
Being as the Savannah Press
has requested us to do so we are
going to let Vermont and Penn
sylvania go democratic next
election provided they bring
forth proper repentance.
Well it is to be hoped that
those negros that go north and
contract consumption in that
severe climate will stay there
after contracting it and not bring
it down into this country.
Roscoe Luke is a lucky guy.
Gets that job and then gets the
six year term. Never saw any-
that equaled a south Georgia
cracker for luck in my life A
man is lucky even to be allowed
to live down here.
Tom Felder has been silent for
some time until he comes out
and kills all the chance that
Pierpont might have for governor
by saying that he was for him.
Forty thousand voters in south
Georgia know Sir Thomas.
Two ton truck got on a Sav
annah fellow’s belly and not kill
him gloats the Press in a head
line last Saturday. Had a heavier
a load on our’n many a time and
we have not been kilt yet. What
the use in having such a foi ti-
ffcation now with Savannah dry?
The political Liar will please
step back out of the way now
and let the bird hunter have his
inning. There never was a more
glorious liar than the guy that
tries to make a hundred dollar
pointer pup out of a mongrel cur.
Bainbridge is fast becoming
one of the best markets in the
section for the.farmer’s produce.
Mr. Farmer it will pay you to
fee what you can get here before
you sell your stuff elsewhere.
We have some live buyers here
now.
The farmer that laughed at the
boll weevil and said that it was a
scheme to sell cotton seed is the
same guy that laughed about the
negro leaving. That same laugh
means that he will have to go to
work himself and then you will
hear a howl.
You old grouch, in a few day?
you will have Thanksgiving day
to observe and you ought to sit.
down and be thankful for being
out of jail if nothing else. Try to
find as many things to be thank
ful for as you do to ,'growl about
and you will coax a smile to
your mug anyway.
The Statesboro News is ad
vocating the election of the post
master ’,by popular ballot and
some of the folks are taking the
matter up in earnest. It would
relieve every congressman of
lots of aggravation .but cost the
winner about all he could make
for several years.
The Greensboro Herald-Journal
s^ys that the Progressive party
in Georgia progressed the wrong
way. A sad story to tell the
bullies that expected to get the
yankeejdough that was to be
sent in this direction. A sadder
tale still to the guys that expect
ed to control the trough.
The Carnival is a melting pot
sure enough, or at least 49 is. In
this attraction our leading society
folks and most distinguished
crap shooters danced in the same
set. Nothing more democratic
was ever pulled off in this burg
than this old 49.
The merchants are preparing
for a big Christmas trade and
the people will do well to shop
early. To pick their goods while
they can and not wait until the
rush of the holidays are on and
when they cant get half waiting
on. The folks in town can very
easily shop soon and give the
balance of the time to the folks
that live some distance from the
town.
The melodious sound of the
stuck pig is in the land now and
who in the section is so heartless
that he cant synpathise with the
man who suffers from indigestion
or dyspepsia? He is hard hearted
indeed that Jdoes not feel from
his heart for him when the hog
jowl and collard begin to do
about.
Mayor Pierpont of Savannah
says that it is to premature to
mention his possible race tor
governor. Quite so, quite so,
about two years too premature.
The mayor ought to recall what
happened to another gubernator
ial possibilty that got in the bed
with Tom Felder recently. The
Coast city has some splendid
timber but this horse cant get
under the starting wire.
What are all you fellows worry
ing about whether a girl shuts
her eyes when she is kissed or
not? Why dont you find out? If
you cant do anything else attend
one of these church auctions
where they let you kiss ’em from
fourteen to forty for i.two bits a
buss and then you will have first
hand knowledge.
The Soperton Sentinel an
nounces that a Carnival arraives
there next week. Now B. W.,
old sport, tread carefully for you
know the last time you went to
a carnival what happened.
Course you will do very well un
til that band hits up an old and
familiar tune, well, wish we
could come over and help you
take that celebration in as it
ought to be.
Nay Pauline, you dont have to
let that guy get mad about some
Thanksgiving Day affair and stay
mad until Christmas unless you
want to. But if you do you fall
for his game and let him save
that present.

We sure have the ins of Vir
ginia. We get our two quarts of
boose while the FFV’s only can
get their one measly little old
quart. It just as well be one gill
as a compromise. Guy cant pitch
one on two quarts nohow.
The chief of Police of Macon
has entered Bankruptcy. A most
remarkable thing and must be a
remarkably honest man. Best
kind of pickings in that job and
here is a cop busted. How did it
happen?
They “do say” that W. J.
Harris will oppose T. W. Hard
wick for re-election to the Sen
ate. This same said Harris will
make some of the boys sit up and
take notice for he is a campaigner
that wakes ’em up way back into
the Ozarks. We are waiting for
Census Bill to shy his hat into
the ring.
Fellow that has spent four
dollars advertising in five years
has requested us to take up t he
matter of folks ordering things
from Mail order houses It is our
bounden duty to heed his re
quest. He has been so liberal
with his patronage these past
five years to the local paper.
The labor situation is serious,
so serious that the best minds ot
the section will do well to do
some thinking over it. To dis
cuss this matter as it ought to
be and to be and to get at the
truth of it you have to admit
some things that some of us dont
like to see done. That is that the
negro is a factor in it and has to
be considered.
Watson wants five thousand of
his subscribers to send him five
dollars each for ihat much of his
stuff so as to keep the Jeff alive.
It would take two box cars to
haul five dollars worth of any
thing that he has set out lately
and then it could be only used
for fire purposes. Tom wants
the dough and as sure as you live
we do too.
See where some Pelham fel
lows spent a week ir. Alabama
investigating boll weevils. Just a
scheme to fool their wives to get
off on a trip for they well knew
that they could drop down here
in two hours and find out all they
want to know or see what they
wanted to see. Why is it that
men will prevaricate to their
wives so glibly.
For a real simon pure, out and
out, copper riveted country paper,
the Richland News carries the
best editorial page that we have
had the pleasure of seeing. Old
Brown rides the mail and while
making those long rides thinks
up some good stuff for his readers.
Having bought out the News en
tirely we can look for some last
ing improvements in it.
The editress of the Miller
County Liberal since seeing the
help that the women in the west
rendered the Democratic ticket
and other things that she is
about convinced they can do bet
ter than lots of men. We agree
with her that they could improve
on about seven million men that
did not know any better than to
vote for Old Whiskers.
An Alabama doctor went to
Atlanta and advised the Atlanta
women against kissing under the
statement that it tended to spread
disease. He said very little to
men about it for he knew darn
well that if a gink had a chance
to kiss a pretty woman he would
buss her if it gave him hydropho
bia, whooping cough and the
measles. And we think his ad
vice to Atlanta women is love’s
labor lost from what we can learn
about it.
Notice where Herman [Shup-
trine of Savannah has been made
the President of the Commercial
club of that city. A better man
could not have been picked for
the place and v/hile we have
been a little luke warm on some
of the Coast City publicity pro
blems it will give us great plea
sure to pull with Shuptrine for
south Georgia. That guy’s heart
is big enough to reach from
Savannah plum to the Alabama
line and we know it. May good
luck go with the Commercial
Club.
In some sections the city
authorities are having trouble
about having the meat inspection
ordinances carried out. If a man
is honest and is selling honest
meat it is strange that he would
object to inspection. He will
scrutinize anything he buys very
closely. Meat inspection injures
no one but the man that is trying
to sell meat that ought not to be
sold. This town would do
well to see that the meat that is
hauled around town all day in an
open wagon is inspected before
it is sold to the people. A good
step that would prevent lots of
disease.
SELLiJVG HEAD*
LESS HOGS.
Quite a number of our farmers
have been talking with the edi
tor about the advisability of the
council passing a law making it
a punishable offense for a market
man to buy a hog with his head
cut off. It seems that quite a
number of the farmers in the
north eastern part of the county
have been troubled with hog
thieves and that it is very hard
for them to get the evidence be
cause of the fact that the hog is
not sold with his head on but
with it cut off entirely so as to
remove any chance to identify
the hog. We have a law that
provides punishment for a man
that will .buy stolen property
and it does look as if any reason
able man would know that a hog
is stolen when he buys him with
all signs of his marks cut off.
The farmers afflicted are asking
the city council to give them this
protection until the meeting ot
the General Assembly when a
general measure affording them
protection will be passed. The
council is asked herein to take
this matter up and if they signify
a desire to hear from the farmers
on the matter a committee of
farmers will call on them at their
next meeting and discuss the
matter with them. When a
market man buys a hog with his
head off entirely it does look like
he would know by that, the hog
was stolen or that the seller had
some reason to destroy the marks
on the ears and we think that in
justice to everybody concerned
that when a hog like that is of
fered him he ought to at least
call the attention of the officers
to the matter. But as there seems
to be going on in 3ome sections
a lot of hog stealing the city
council would show a disposition
to do what would be beneficial
to the farmers if they would take
this matter up. An ordinance by
all the town councils, Climax,
Iron City, Donalsonville, Brinson
Attapulgus Bainbridge would
make it very hard for a thief of
this kind to dispose of his stolen
hog.

Some of the farmers come to
town, get a hundred dollars for a
bale of cotton and about twenty
for the seed, fifty cents for an
old hen, forty cents for a dozen
eggs and raise very harry when
a merchant has to charge 12
cents for a yard of gingham.
They dont seem to want the pay
the advance of cotton goods
when they are the first benefi
ciaries. That is carrying the
matter a little on the other side
of reason,

Tom Whtson has only one re
ference to the election in his
Weekly Warp ot last week and
that is where he denies askirtg
any one to vote for Hughes.
What a simple fool dodge. He
says that he never asked any one
to vote either way. What did he
mean by his vicouos attacks on
Wilson? How some people are
being led by such a flimsy old
blatherskite is remarkable. If he
did not desire them to vote for
Hughes, Or Wilson the dirty
thing wanted to rob them ot
their vote at all. Yet he preaches
about the privileges of the people.
If a man has read that paper and
believes that Watson did not ad
vise folks to vote for Hughes, let 1
him stand on his head. He is
meaner than the people thought'
he was for he misled many of his
followers into voting for Hughes
and he owed them enough to ad
vise them right. He got the
stuffing beat out ot him and
now has gone to lying, that is all
there is to it.
See where in some places that
the schools will take up again
the use of slates because of the
high price of paper. It would be
a good idea for all the schools to
let the children use such paper
as they can get without much
cost rather than have the teach
ers specify their using certain
papers that are high and not one
bit better than any other. Some
man a few years ago had a yellow
tablet that he wanted to sell and
advanced the idea that it was bet
ter for the eyes than any other
and lots of teachers fell for it,
making children use the yellow
paper. When, as a matter of fact
the men that work with paper
dodge the yellow paper because
of the injury to the eyes. What is
experience anyway when it butts
up against a man with a graft or
a fresh graduate with an ism.
The parents of Bainbridge have
been made the victim of this
thing and It is about high time
that the school teachers took a
hand and let the children save
this much for their parents.
Certain papers cost the children
more because the manufacturers
have to pay the expense of send
ing men out to advance thejideas
to the teachers that their paper
is helpful to the eyes while it is
no better than any other.
