A O’;and Juiy That Dees Thing!.
VVfis it fate tJia,t guid<*d tin*
Timid of liis honor, Judge <'. U
Bran i when lie drew from tin*
jury box the names of the g<*nth*
men who served file county so
■"’e]] at the recent term of Jack
son super! )•' court !
Be that as it may. their recom
mendations and orders concerning
ron-V: bridges and other public
proprety have tin* true ring of
patriotic adherence to tin* wel
fare of the people of the county
at heart.
This issue carries the grand
jury presentments.
Harmonize, if you can, the or
ders' contained therein with con
ditions as reported by the chair
man board of county commission
ers.
Every one at all familiar with
the deplorable condition of some
of the county’s roads and bridg
es will read with a good deal of
amusement the following excerpts
from the commissioner’s report:
Roads: On account of con
tmuous rains, the roads over
MOST of the county are in an
AWFUL condition. ’ *
“Public Buildings: All the
public buildings are in GOOD
condition.*’
Now hear what the grand ju
rors have to say about these game
items.
“We have .examined our court
house and find that the walls are
in HAD condition, and should he
repaired and painted; the roof
n eds patching, and the leaks
should he stopped; the closets,
radiators and piping are in had
condition, and the court room
poorly ventilated. Ordered and
directed that these improvements
be made at once.'’
“Bridges: That the Chandler
bridge, on the Oconee river, on
the road leading from Center tc
Oeouee heights, and tin* double
bridges, ()n t lie Mulberry
and South Oconee rivers ARE
IN DANGEROUS CONDITION,
and should be replaced with new
bridges WITHOUT DELAY; and
it is therefore ordered that said
bridges He TORN DOWN AND
NEW ONES ERECTED.'”
My, my. Before the sound of
the saw and the hammer had
hardly ceased to echo through the
shrubbery surrounding The Huh
and 1 >ng before our tax-ridden
citizens have forgotten the thirty
thousand spent on OUR court
house, the old barn has sprung
a leak, the walls look bad, the
closets and piping are punk while
the radiators are fierce and the
ventilation miserable.
My. my, my. Surely that gen
tleman was not right when he
said to us the other day that
the road working system in Jack
in was a‘ faree and a useless
s plundering of the taxpayers
mon ft y.
Did In* know what lie was talk
ing about when In* vouchsafed
that the commutation tax was
being drained from the country
roads and spent for other pur
poses.
Whs he correct when he said
the road law was being violated
in every district in Jackson by
the district commissioners when
they paid themselves out of the
commutation tax collected when
such tax is directed by law to go
hack in the shape of road work
on the road from along which
it was collected?
My, my. Perhaps he did and
perhaps he didn’t.
About 12:30 every school day we notice y
more school children scampering home for and in
about thirty minutes, if you will stand and watch, you will
see these same children rushing back, sometimes with portions
of their noonday meal in their hands, eating as they run.
We fear this policy is building up future dyspeptics.
We are of the opinion that it would be far better for the men
and women of the future if the board would go back to two
sessions per day, if a few minutes is all the time that the
children call be allowed in which to run a mile and eat their
dinner.
Hither have one or two sessions a day. The health of
the children is far more important than the pleasing of either
mamma or children.
Vetoes Immigration Bill.
President Taft, in the closing
days of his administration, lias
exercised his vote power by nine
ing 1 1 is disapproval on thet nn
migration bill recently passed by
congress. The bill was drastic,
it is true, but the subject needs
to be met in a drastic, way. It
is doubtful if congress will will
be able to pass tlit? measure over
the president’s veto. But then—
It will come again, for the im
migration question is too impor
tant t obe dropped-

What Would a Fire Mean to You?
Without protection a fire means a loss, greater
to some than others but in all cases one that does
not have to be borne.
We represent several of the largest Insurance
Companies whose business is toprotect you against
loss and we do it for such a nominal sum that you
can’t afford to run the risk.
Before the ashes are cold even, our adjusters are
on the ground. They settle your loss and you can
begin the rebuilding of HOME.
ISN’T IT WORTH THE SMALL COST?

Good Mi: sic nary Talk.
Dr. Shelton. a missionary to
Tibet, delivered an an interesting
talk to the congregation at th
Christian church Sunday morn
ing on 'He customs and habit#
of the Tibetans.
He demonstrated the need of
tin gospel by thes far-away heath
ens, and iccounted many in
stances when it seemed that noth
ing less than the hand of the un
seen God prevented the death of
laboring in that field. The place
the brave band of missionaries
where Dr. Shelton a nd family are
located is about a three months’
journey from th.e States.
