Thirty-three miners met a hor
rible death in a coal mine at Drakes
loro, Ky., Monday, as a result of
an explosion.
We will Ik t the next excuse coun

At state-wide prohibition bill has
passed tin* South Carolina bouse of
representatives. It is predicted
that it will Ih* killed in the senate.
Winder needs more small focto*
ries. And, by the way, there is
not a town in Northeast Georgia
letter situated for their location.
Aii Atlanta policeman actually
captured a lmrglar Wednesday
night. In justice to the force,
however, it should he stated that he
was only si supernumerary.
It is said I’ig Tail] alley will be
widened when hands can he secured
to do the work. All who want si
waiting joh,apply to T. 11. Hodges,
chairman of the street committee.
The superior court of Oconee
county was engaged last week in
regulating the troubles of the
Branch family. A Branch was a
party to the litigation of every case
tried.
Not satisfied with the prohibition
status in Georgia, the state leaders
are agitating putting out a state
ticket- Prohibition is all right, hut
a prohibition party and prohibition
candidates is a horse of another
color. .
Watson keeps hammering at Lee,
Duckworth aud Bodenhamer. If
half what Mr. Watson says is true,
these men should be forced to re
sign. How innocent men can rest
serenely under such an indictment
we can’t understand.
From Punxsutawney, Pa., the
home of the ground hog, comes the
announcement that the official
shadow was cast across the otlicial
ground hog and he returned to his
hole. This indicates blustery
weather for six weeks.
After cutting out meat for a
week, a Chicago man ordered a por
terhouse, got busy, and was soon
choked to death. And the press
dispatches tell us that a Louisville,
Ky., alderman was choked to death
Monday on,a free lunch*.
Judge A. W. Fite is again after
the Dade county “government”
blind tiger, lie has another feder

will not escape as easily as did
Stegall- Cureton, the owner of the
wild cat distillery, will, no doubt,
now get all that is coming to him.
Louis R. Gla vis seems to have
President Taft and his official family
worried, ami it is said they aie
considering the advisability of hav
ing the young man questioned by
an attorney in the interest of Bal
linger. Glavis is heeled with let
ters, telegrams and a good memory,
and' is making it look dark for
Ballinger.
SHOULD NOT SERVE THE SYSTEM.
We notice that the grand juries
over the Western circuit are getting
busy with their endorsements of
people for office.
There was a time when an en
dorsement for judge or solicitor
meant something, and served as an
introduction to the general assembly
of an aspiring son of that particular
judicial circuit. But that was in
the good old days when the wire
pullers and fixers met at the Kim
ball House, in Atlanta, and planned
the downfall of the tenderfoot.
But times have changed. Now
the candidate must carry his case
direct to tin* people. It matters
not how much conniving and wire
pulling is done to receive the en
dorsement of a grand jury, it only
means the opinion of twenty-three
men. However, it serves as cam
paign thunder for the one endorsed.
This seems to Ik* part of tin* sys
tem now in vogue in, the Western
circuit. Jackson county’s grand
jury meets next week. Bet us hope
that Jackson will turn a deaf ear to
t tie system —a system that is only
meant to give one contestant an ad
vantage over another in point of
campaign thundt r.
OUR IUIOR.
Editor Flanigan, of the Gwinnett
Journal, in W dnesday’s edition of
that Progressive Blowhard, gives us
our liist lesson in journalism. By
comparison, Jimmy intimates that
the reason we are not turning the
world upside down is because our
advertising rates are too low. We
agree with Brother Flanigan fully
on this point, and for a year have
been trying to convince our mer
chants of that fact.
Speaking of our rates, The Jour
nal says:
“The Winder News carried a two
page advertisement, two weeks ago,
for a Winder merchant and got only
SIO.OO for it- The Gwinnett Jour
nal last week had a page ad. of a
brother of the Winder merchant and
got as much for that one page as
The Winder News received for the
two-page advertisement. ’’
We publish the above as informa
tion. It will be interesting to the
aforesaid merchant to learn that we
have received $ 10.00 for that double
page ad. Jimmy, your guess was
had. The hill for that work was
not presented until today, and you
would have the time of your lift
trying to convince Joe Saul that he
could get a double page ad in The
News for ten dollars.
Seriously, Jimmy, we want you
to help us out. Let us know in
your second lesson what your con
tract with the Iloystor Guano Co
calls for. We have a similar con
tract, and want to he put wise for
next year.
Now, don’t embarrass yourself,
Jimmy, by answering through “the
U*st country advertising medium in
Georgia.” Just drop us a line for
our tiles. And, if it is not asking
too much, you might include Buek
len’s contract. They tell us we
want double what they pay The
Gwinnett Journal, hence their ad.

THE WORLD’S BEST CAR
. Ve
-.. J. ♦ i
It does not seem possible, in this age of fine cars and keenest rivalry, that any
car could be without competition.
And yet that is precisely what would be revealed if a census of BUICK own
etship could be taken.
Interview any fair minded BUICK owner anywhere, and you will find him
utterly unwilling to consider any other car.
There are something like One Hvndred Thousand BUICK owners in the
country, and when one of them tells you that no consideration could tempt him to
change, he is merely voicing the mental attitude of entire one hundred thousand.
We dare say that no car in the world can point to as many owners so unani
mously loyal. '
In view of these facts, it surely behooves every thoughtful buyer to inquire
into the extraordinary circumstances which have so firmly entrenched the BUICK
in public approval.
A little investigation will reward you with the discovery that no plant in the
world is so well equipped to produce a car that will rendes undeviating service to its
owner for an indefinite period as is the BUICK plant.
We have received three carloads of these cars, and have more on the road.
Come and look at them before you buy.
Prominent Men Endorse the Buick.

The following testimonials are irom men well and favorably known through
out Northeast Georgia:
Winder, Ga., January 29th, 1910.
Winder Mobile Cos., Winder, Ga.
Gentlemen : 111 reply to yours, asking how I like the Buick Automobile that-
I bought from you last summer, I cannot say anything too good for it, or anything
against it, as it has not given me any trouble at all. It is always read} to go, and
goes anywhere I want to go. •J* hiteiiead.
Winder, Ga., February Ist, 1910.
Winder Mobile Cos., Winder, Ga.
Gentlemen : In reply to your inquiry as to how our Buick Automobile lias
stood the test, we furnish you the following : As your Mr. Hood will reoall, you
turned the car over to us in Atlanta, July 16th, 1909. Since that date, we have driven
the car from between forty-five hundred and five thousand miles. We are riding to
day on the same tires and wind we left Atlanta with July 16th, with the exception of
one puncture. Until two weeks ago, we had never spent one penny on repair in any
way, and at this time, we were to the total expense of twenty-five cents. We firmly
believe that the market does not afford a car at the same price that will surpass it for
strict, every-day durable service. We can not commend it too highly.
Yours very truly,
Lamar & Perry.
