Florida was visited by another
very destructive hurricane last
week. $5,000,000 damages were
done from Ft. Pierce, Vero Beach
and Stuart. Twenty-three cities
and towns were in the gale. The
flood of rain follewed, increasing
the damages. Only a few lives
were lost.
State Chairman Maddox has de
cided that little Billie Upshaw
can’t run for congress and have
his name on the democratic tick

candidate forpresident too. Where
will he hang out now? Neither one
of the old parties want him. And
as a preacher he has lost his

Regardless of what principles,

Smith nor Hoover can change the
prohibition law that has become a
part of the constitution of this
country. It. takes an act of con
gress and a three-fourths of the
state legislatures to change the
federal constitution. Mr. Smith,
also Mr. Hoover, have rights to
their personal opinions as to
whether or not the eighteenth
amendment to the constitution is
a wholesome law or not, but neith
er one of them can change the
law, truthfully remarks the Daw
son News.
The Chicago Tribune is the
greatest paper in the world. In
1847 the first Issue of 400 copies of
the paper were printed on a hand
press. Now it requires 285 tons
of paper for a daily Issue and over
1,600 tons for a Sunday edition.
A typical cut of pulpwood for an
average daily is 48 acres. For the
Sunday Tribne about 221 acres.
The Tribune holds over 2,600
square miles of virgin timber in
one of the wildernesse.s left In
Canada. Each winter 3,000 men
and SSo horses begin the season ot
work in cutting down the spruce
and balsam trees and hauling
them to the banks of the river to
await the spring Hoods, requiring
hundreds of thousands of logs. A
bo.t t carries 2,600 tons each trip.
The Tribune has 800,000 readers.
Requires O3 linotype machines to
prepare the matter, and 72 presses,
each capable of runuiug oft’ from
800 to 4oo a minute. The Tribune
owns its own naner mills.

worth Jof Isquor stored in New
York get away from thorn.
One of Bibb county’s candidate s
was dropped from the list last
week because he would not sup
port Gov. Smith. Can’t be a half
democrat out that way.
Eyery candidate who comes
along promises to run the business
ot their office cheaper, but when
the election is over they all get
in the same old rut, or have been.
They got another still in Lump
kin county a few days ago. It was
away out in the woods on a little
branch, and operated by a repub
lican, but charge it up to Gov. Al
Smith, of New York.
A governor cannot do much
without the cooperation of the leg
islature. It passes the laws. Just
like a judge of the superior court.
He cannot do anything i u a crimi
nal case unless the grand jury
takes the proper action.
When \V. F. Varney, accepted hjs

There is one thing Mr. Tal

like of her candidates that we have
heard of—sending out his men
working in or for his department
at the expense of the state, to elec
tioneer for him.
Farts of Georgia were hit bv a

later why he tried to produce such
stuff in a city garden.
Assistant Secretary I,owman,
of the prohibition unit, Washing
ton City, has given notice that no
more “smelling” warrants will
be issued—that is warrants against
those whose houses are searched

We never hear of ladies or any
one else complaining about being
bothered by fleas of late years. It
is on account of being uusafo for
them to visit people’s homes, be
cause if a flea was to lose its hold
and drop down behind any of the
long stockings now- being used it
would not be able to pull up and
get onfe.

The time for beginning the an
nual meeting at Mossy .Creek camp
ground was last Tuesday. Rev.
J. B. Smith, of Dahlouega, will as
sist the Pastor. This campground
was established long before the
Civil War, and meeting has been
held there every since except the
years the great struggle was on.
For many years when the time roll
ed round the citizens near enough
would haul in lots of provisions
for the large number of attendants
who went and spent the whole
time. Now but few attend until

We are informed that Mr. J. B.
Brooksher has bought the Pente
cost church on Park Street who
will move and rebuild it on big
lot on Sand Branch. The citizens
on Park Street will no doubt be
pt;oud of'this, because some of its
members shout loud and late when
they get happy.
We understand that a Holy Rol
ler meeting is in progress up in the
western part of the county. So if
persons wish to start to heaven in
Lumpkin county now they can
start out on either of the three
stations—Methodist, Baptist or
Holy Roller. Neither one is crowd
ed like those opening up for a ball
game.
We understand that the city au
thorities are demanding a tax of
$-5 front Geo. Free, the ice deal
er, who carried a few truck loads
of people out iu the country to

will be a tax placed on the loca
pastors of the churches and the
“Sons of Rest”, who have all day
meetings in the court house yard.
We have been having some
right stormy weather here this
week, longer and harder than
usual. It began Tuesday after
noon, coming from the east. And
it rained and the wind blew all
night, continuing the next day,
putting telephones and electric
lines out of commission, damag-
the corn crops.

many of whom without having

years after this camp ground was
established we began attending.
Our mustache was just beginning
to sprout, perfectly black with the
hair on our head matching
in color. Iu those days boys in
\ i iting such places carried a little
round pocket glass with a lid, and
a comb which shut up like a knife
so they could keep the locks of their
hair bobbed then like womens
today, properly arranged and their
mushtnche often looked at to see
if it had grown any. At that
day and time boys of this age took
a delight in meeting at the spring
and giving the girls a drink of wa
ter out of the hi inis of their hats.
This caused each boy to wear to
campmeetiug the nicest, cleanest
hat he could afford, because he
was almost as popular then as a
boy is today with an automobile.
Of course boys kept the dipper or
gourd put there for the use of the
public thrown away or destroyed.
For years we enjoyed ourselves at
these annual gatherings at old Mos

hair, mustache turned gray, most
of our teeth dropped out. The
popularity of our boyhood days de

change during our absence that
