The voters of Barrow county decided that they did
not want a city court.
O-
Superior court next week. While in town coiue in
and pay your subscription to the News.
O
Now that the election is over let us get down to
our business affairs and straighten them out.
_ O
One of our exchanges say* that the country is still
safe. Turnip green have mude their appearance.
The people of Georgia have decided that a man is
ineligible for the governorship after one term in of
fice.
Many of the progressive cities in the state have
organized Kiwanis Clulm. What about one for Win
der?
O
Prof. N. H Ballard, the state school superintendent
is well known in this section. He will make the
slate a fine official.
. O-
Those farmers who have fought the boll weevil in
cessantly this year are the ones that are smiling now.
It always pays to keep kicking.
O
We extend our congratulations to Hon. Clifford M al
kor. of our neighboring city of Monroe, on ids splen
did victory. May lie tie able to bring order of chaos in
our stale.
O
The Quitman Free Press wishes that the man who
strained at a gnat and swallowed a camel, had swal
lowed the gnat instend, as gnats are pestiferous in
sects down in that section.
O—
This is it great time of the year. It is harvesting
time. Crops are being gathered, debts are being paid,
and everybody should he doing their best to get
straight with the world.
O-
Both the LaGrange papers were for Hardwick for
governor ami Cliff Walker heat him In Troup coun
ty three to one, which goes to show what it goes to
show.
O
We predict that the people of this section will got
straight in behind the Doll weevil next year and make
a good crop in spite of the little pest.. Put this in
your pipe and smoke it.
O
Congressman Thomas M. Bell carried all the coun
ties in the Ninth district but one and lacked only two
votes of carrying that one. He is on? of the ablest
representatives in congress from Georgia.
O
The election last Wednesday, no doubt, suited
both the United States Senators from Georgia. Sena
tor Watson can say "I told you so,” and Senator Har
ris will likely have no opposition in his race for re
election in 11*114. *
O
Our friend, "Bob” Davison, of Greene county, is
one of the state's best officials, and nobody can lw*at
him. Bob seems to be a fixture in his present office,
and ought to lie. for he discharges the duties con
scientiously and thoroughly.
O
Our good friend. Editor John Jones, of LaGrange,
is rather unlucky in Dis support of men for governor.
Two years ago he supported Walker and lost: he
then switched and supported Hardwick and lost. How
ever Editor Jonea is a good loser.
O
The people of Barrow county extend their hear
tiest thanks to the voters of Georgia for the honor
bestowed upon her in electing one of her distinguished
SOUS' to the Chief Justiceship of the Supreme Court of
the State. ' We appreciate tine honor and assure
them that Judge Russell will worthily All the high
position to which they have called him.
The Luckiest Man.
The luckiest man is not the one with a big bank ac
count; not the one who lias written his name high
on the scroll of fame; but the one who likes his job
and loves his home. Upon him the gods of content
ment and happiness smile. He gets more out of life
than all his neighbors. He is extracting from life its
sweetest joys. There is real melody in his heart.
He is one of God’s men. He has found the kingdom
of heaven and lias entered into its bliss. Would that
we all liked our job and loved our home.
O
Two of a Kind,
In its issue of Wednesday, September 13, just be
fore the election, the Brantley County News had the
following to Say concerning the election: "After
careful reading of Mr. Walker’s platform we believe
he will be defeated by the largest vote in Georgia’s
history.”
Likewise, the Atlanta Georgian, in its issue of the
day preceding the election made a statement predict
ing the triumphant re-election of Governor Hardwick.
There were at least two newspapers in Georgia that
were not able to discern the signs of the times.
O
Know Thyself
Young man, young woman, sit down aud take a
mental inventory of yourself. Don’t spare yourself
one bit —lay your mind bare —and search out the hab
its in you that have been harmful, that have limited
your life and robbed you of some of the pleasures
that life gives fully to all who create the necessary
condition to receive them. Then in a systematic way
prepare a course of action that will destroy all these
harmful habits and carry you through a mental house
cleaning.
Know thyself and build a better self. —LaGrange
Graphic.
O
Fault Finding.
A large per cent of the people on this earth are
fault tinders. It is a weakness that we all seem to
like. We side with the fault finder. We mistake
his weakness for strength. We think he is wise be
cause he can find faults in others. We think he is
faultless because he can see the faults of those about
him. Such is not the case. The fault-finder is weak
er than any about him. He is more foolish than his
neighbors. He is looking at the errors and mistakes
of life. He fills his mind with the faults of people and
he, himself, is a huge error, and a great mistake.
There is nothing constructive about him. He is a
destructive force that hurts and hinders in the lives
of those about him. It is easy to find fault. Any
fool can do it, and and a person is very foolish to
contract this habit. Y r ou become an unpleasant com
panion and neighbor Quit it, before tlie people Quit
you.
O
Barrow County.
“Barrow county probably will vote against Govern
or Hardwick and for Clifford Walker in today’s pri
mary. Barrow county has suffered much in repute
of late months, because of lawless acts of one sort
and other committed there. A few days ago a negro
was lynched in Barrow; somewhat the culmination of
a series of lawless incidents, rather amazing in va
riety and scope.”—Jim Nevin in Atlanta Georgian.
The insinuation in the above paragraph is that
Barrow county in voting against Governor Hardwick
showed its lawlessness. If not, wliv are the two ideas
connected so closely together? We would be glad if
our Atlanta contemporary would tell us why Fulton
went against Hardwick and about 115 other counties
in the state. Please tell us why Hardwick was repu
diated by the people of the state by a tremendous
popular majority According to the reasoning of the
Atlanta Georgian, Georgia is a lawless state.
Barrow county needs no defense at our hands. Her
people are as loyal to the principles of truth and as
law-abiding as any in this state.
While we are not perfect, and may err at times,
yet our errors are committed because we detest crime
and abhor injustice.
It is like this Atlanta paper to make contemptible]
flings at any county or individual that it cannot con
trol. The election of Hardwick two years ago was
one of those abortive, abnormal incidents, that occur
in all phases of life occasionally. The Georgian sup
ported him in that race and, having supported the
successful candidate this once in its lifetime, its ego
tism since that election lias been disgusting.
Barrow county cares nothing about its flings, for
it is a well known, fact all oveg Georgia that few peo
ple tHke any expression from this paper seriously.
O
Capital punishment is not becoming unpopular in
Gtsirgia. The people are opposed to hanging the
inal. Death by the electric chair would be far more
preferable.
O
We second the nomination made by Dick Russell,
J*. at the informal gathering at his father’s home
last Friday night, of Hon. Geo. A. Johns for the
presidency of the next state senate Judge Johns
is the only senator who returns for a second term,
and his experience and commanding ability fit him for
that position. He is the logical man for the place.
