The city authorities are having
roses set out on the side of the
streets.
They are still running scrapes in
the mud below the dam that burst-
ed recenth', searching for dead
bodies, in California.
More money has been given
George Durdin, the Atlanta negro
who came to the relief of the two
white women recently and killed a
strange negro. The negro hero has
received $122.25 up to date.
Those who attended court at
Dawsonvillo last week said that
there were no drinking and fight
ing as has been the custom every
court week heretofore. On Mon
day several came in drunk, we are
told, when Sheriff Crawford soon
had three of them in jail aud the
others ran.
A. I£. \Vilder,Jdistrict salesmnn-
ager of the Louisiana Oil Co.,
Rustan, La., received a letter the
other day demanding ten thousand
dollars by a certain lime, to be in
bills not less than $100 each, se
curely wrapped and placed in a box
at a certain place. If not he would
be shot from ambush.
So many have been getting in
toxicated in Macon on what they
call “canned heat” that the city
council has passed an ordinance
making it a penalty of $1,000 to
Fell it in that city. It is an alca-
hol substance sold by the mer
chants, who have been given a 30
days notice to stop selling it.
Out in Oklahoma when a boy
was convicted for some little thing
the judge told an officer to carry
the boy down into the basement
and see that he was given a good
whipping. A judge here gave such
orders once when a little negro
boy stole a mule. He was carried
down stairs at the court house and
severely whipped. This negro boy
grew up to manhood and we nev
er heard of him giving any more
trouble.
We are satified that a lot of peo
ple in the Southern Circuit, where
Judge Tillson presided, are proud
that lie has resigned and gone to
take a position in other parts, be
cause he was too unmerciful to
handle criminals. Very often per
sons of this nature have like trou
bles in passing through life We
used to know a man in this coun
ty who, when on the grand jury,
wanted to take up every little
matter. Later on his sou killed
a man, aud hadja lot of troublo.
There are lots of people this way.
Everybody should learn to be more
merciful, else quit calling on the
Lord so often to have mercy on
them.
Why Plant :t 1 Ionic Garilcn?,
A well planned and properly at
tended garden is of great econom
ic importance to the farm, city or
village family. Proper soil prepar
ation anil regular attention is re
quired, and it need not be a bur
den to any one. Lots and back
yards that have been neglected can
be put to good use by being culti
vated ns homo gardens.
Many an unsightly spot can be
changed into a pleasing view of
green growing crops of vegetables
which will increase the number ol
fresh foods for the family and give
healthful exercise in the open air
as well. Many a boy has been
prevented from getting into mis
chief and bad company by provid
ing him with a plot of ground and
teaching him to produce real food,
There is genuine pleasure and prof
it in making the soil produce
things.
Vegetables for the home garden
should be selected according to the
special needs and desire of the
family aud the surplus should be
canoed and stored for winter use
help make possible a balanced
menu for the year.
The best gardens are those that
are located so jas to drain fairly
well and on land that has a sunny
southern exposure a warm sandy
soil will produce earlier and better
vegetables than a heavier soil that
retains more moisture and lias
heat. The soil must be fertile in
order to grow good quality of veg
etables.
A well rotted manure is one of
the best fertilizers for home or
small gardens.
To get the best results the soil
should be well prepared before
planting and should be kept loose
and fine by frequent workings
through the season. Good seed is
an important factor in making a
garden. It is a waste of time and
money to plant inferior seed, there
fore buy seed from reliable sourc
es. The use of a line will help in
getting straight rows, and after
sowing the seed if the soil is dry
pack it over the top.
Now is the time to plant home
gardens. Let every family in
Lumpkin county have ono.
There are some very valuable

Last week when Chief of Police
H. F. .Blake, of Galera, Ala., was
acquitted of the murder of Miss
Monteabaro, her mother picked up
the pistol that had been exhibited
in court and fired at him, while
her aunt quickly plunged the
blade of a big knife in bis throat,
leaving him in a serious condition,
so affecting the Solicitor General
thnt he fell to the floor. They
were more than a week on the
case—as the Macon Telegraph said,
trying the dead girl. It, wasejnim-
ed that the girl had whisky and
shot herself. It was strange that
the Chief followed her out of town
five miles before trying to arrest
her. No proof that she bad any
liquor. And her pistol was a dif
ferent caliber to the 011c she was
shot with.
More Facts and Figures.
As Chairman Moore slated that
when the Commissioners of Roads
and Revenues went into office the
county was in debt, and now they
had money in the Bank, let us
dwell oiv this matter briefly, Both
are facts. But let 11s show you
the amount of money they have
had to do it with, by first giving
you the amount of funds they
have had to handle, coming Lom

Cavender’s Creek school house to
morrow night.
We learn that Chairman John
Moore tells the people that all the
things published in the Nugget are
d—n lies. Do our readers think
that Assistant U. 8. Attorney Hen
ley, State’s Attorney Napier or
State Treasurer Speer would
send out wrong information when
called upon? Then the Code and
Acts of 1924, can be seen in our
office, or by calling upon any No
tary Public or .Justice "of the Peace
in the country. Concerning seiz
ures at still houses see Acts of IO24
page 190, where things used for
making liquor, (not overalls or
men’s coats) not destroyed, must
be sold under a condemnation pro
ceedings, which is to be signed by
the Judge and Solicitor of the Su
perior court. Then advertised and
sold at public outcry. Because the
law says no one has any property
rig lit to such things, those who
seize them nor any one else.
The government officers could
look after the liquor business here
without any County Policeman, try-
all the blockaders aud save Lump
kin a big expense. But if the
Commissioners mean to have a Po
liceman why don’t they get some
young, active man like Geo. Duff,
who has good eyesight, cau run
fast, catch most any man, tell what
he sees and no more? Every one
caught would plead guilty with
out any expensive trial and short
en the terms of court. Two de
fendants, prosecuted by our pres
ent Policeman, who was a witness,
and freed. One by the petit jury,
and the other by the grand jury.
And another case brought before
the U. S. Commissioner took the
same course. There are now six
teen more cases pending in Lump
kin Superior court. And the cost
of this court is about $75 per day.

This don’t include the $7o,ooo

highway, which the state road de
partment took over, finished and
maintains. There comes the road

Mr. Robert Moore having likely
gotten out of bed wrong euc! fore
most last Monday morning after a
bad dream, met us near the couit
house. We saw be was pretty hot
under the collar but couldn’t loave
the highway for fear that wo
might get stuck up in the mud.
So we stood our ground. The first
thing he said was: “Mr. Towns
end, wev’e always been good
friends, but 1 am getting tired if
you publishing them G—d d—11
lies.” As soon as we could get
our breath we asked him what lies,
assuring himif he hud been treat
ed wrong we would correct it or let
him do so. He said it was about
him buying seized sugar and other
stuff. But didn’t want any cor
rection made, only wanted the
name of the store left out, That
he got no sugar at 3 cents per
pound aud did not sell it cheaper
than could be bought at McKee’s
store, but at the market price.
Paid a reasonable sum for it as
well as the other seized goods—
didn’t know that this was contiary
to the state law. Of course vve do
not know what he pays or sells
any of these tilings at. It is what
we are told, just like most any oth
er news published—what wo hear.
The lews got out that Robert ctit-
icised and abused us. He didn’t,
do this We talked about other
matters after he made his stated
tuent, and went away perfectly
calm, and the friendship on
| part towards him is just as strong
as it ever was, because we pub
lished the reports as we were told,

Friday.
From what some of the Regis
trars say quite n large number of
persons who registered iu this
county can’t vole.
Another heavy rain fell Monday
night, causing the dirt roads to be
in terrible bad shape. Then turn
ed ccol Tuesday,
A party started to Auraiia Mon
day in a car and had to go round
by Mr. Ben Higgins. Tlie rains
come so frequent that the roads do
not have time to dry out.
There will be a box aupper and
a cake cutting al Cavender’s Creek

Dr. Lipscomb is convinced that
it pays to advertise. Recently he
advertised some Old Blue Back
Spellers for sale in the Nugget.
Among those he sold was one by
order to Mr. O. D. M. Gaddis,
Kingman, Arizona.
The other day when City Mar
shal Davis seized some liquor iu
jars he did not keep, gi e away or
try to sell the vessels, but complied
with both state aud government
laws by destroying the whole
thing. A smell of the liquor
where it was bursted was all any
body got of it.
As we had to turn off advertis
ing and leave out re.-iding matter
this week, were unable to publish
a card for Prof. Shultz, but to the
point is this: That he is unable
to get out and see all the people
on account of the bad condition of
the roads, but will appreciate ev
ery ones support.
It rained here half the day Sun
day. And that night we had an
electric storm with u lot of rain,
which disturbed many of our citi
zens from their slumbers and put
lights out cf commission, leaving
Park Street in an impassible con
dition for cars on account of the
mud until dried out by the suu.
As we have heretofore referred
to what is required fora county of
ficer to hold an office let us give
you the 'aw—Acts 1900: “No per
son shaE be eligible to hold any
count}' office iu any county of this
state, unless he shall have been
bonafide (without deceit, in good
faith) a citizen of the county in
which he shall bo elected or AP
POINTED at least two years pri
or to his elect on or appointment,
and is a qualified voter entitled to
vote.”

age of eighty-eight, and was lur-
