George Fitch's articles! on the

Senator Kern may be correct

Wanted.
To know why some wide-awake
far-sieeing Winder capitalist does
not invest some of his money in
building a few up-to-date five
and six-room cottages for rent.
Every few days we have calls for
cottages of this kind. One party
is now boarding, just waiting for
something to turn up. There is
hardly a decent house for rent
iu the city.
Some Fine Tomatoes
The Nows was the recipient
this week of some very fine to
matoes from the garden of Mrs.
John M. Lovelace, of Atlanta.
They were beauties, and were
highly appreciated by the editor
and his family. Mrs. Lovelace is
pleasantly remembered in this
section by numerous friends as
Miss Bertie Sigman, the beauti
ful and cultured daughter of Mr.
and, Mrs. W. W. Sigm.au. 1
Fine All Round Crop.
One day this week we were in
vited to take a stroll over the
crop of Mr. B. B. Jackson, Win
der’s farmer cotton buyer.
Bush has one of the best all
round crops we have seen in
this Section.
His cotton is fine, his corn
great and eleven acres planted in
millet and peas just grand. Mr.
Jackson expects to cut three
of forage to the acre off of this
field and we believe his expecta
tions will be realized.

in tlie latter part of this labored effort to produce a genuine
editorial for the Herald that could be called argument. No
body cau answer gall and appeal to prejudice without the
fear of becoming personal. It lies not in our province to
question the sincerity of the men who voted against the crea
tion of Barrow county. We credit them with discharging a
duty as they saw it.
But we will say that we do not believe that they are held
in leash or led about by any unmasked, discredited and repu
diated h: s-been, however much he and his may flaunt the
insinuation to the public.
All sane men can see the motive of the Herald for con
tinuing this fight against the slain county.
We all know the private hope for redemption that lurks
beneath this fight, after the war, over a public question. And
we all know the superior merit of the public over the private
matter. The limelight sought is proving to be as withering
to political hope as a temperature of 104 to the suffering pa
tient. Note the low plane to which the Herald drags a sub
ject in which public interest is so manifest:
‘‘Then there is Clarke county. Jackson haa been the true
friend of Athena and Clarke. The people of Jackaon county in
great numbera buy goods in Athena, sell cotton there, and em
ploy lawyers there; but when Jackaon was in dire distress in
the legislature, Clarke county turned a deaf ear to the appeals
of Jackson, and not only passed by on the other side, but at
tempted to strike her a cruel and terrible blow. The thanks
the merchants in Jackson county received for their tremendous
volume of trade to Athens was a slap in the face. The thanks
the fanners received from them was an effor to increase their
taxes”.
What has the trade or political alliance of Hall and
Clarke counties to do with passing upon a question of merit.
No change is made that these counties are misinformed as to
the merits of the case, 110 denial that far more people will he
benefited than injured by the measure in question.
But arrogantly this modest, unostentatious, pious, pri
vate citizen takes these counties to task on the low ground
of we-trade-with-you. A case in court lie might conduct on
the same low plane
We honor and respect an honorable opponent; we detest a
bushwhacker. Behind somebody all the while, and better
pleased is he when he can place three of his henchmen be
tween him and his questionable methods.
Jefferson is not made up of men who approve these
methods.
If that active bunch of discredited, repudiated and shelv
ed patriots could read the true sentiment of the honorab’e
men at the Hub, they would slink away and have the doctor
make a calculation to see if each could lay claim to a single
worthy characteristic.
Since there is no law against lying, no asylum for bores,
no fool-killers commissioned, a suffering public called to
court must continue to face these gaping jaws, furtive eyes,
haggling tones of bottle-tainted henchmen, egged on by dis
credited worthies, hoping to ride some popular wave into po
sition of trust.
To test this just ask one of these Ransy Sniffles how
much Winder spent, how many law-makers she bought,
how she tried to buy the unpurchaseble Holder, a private
citizen, and the price she offered him, the magnanimity
of Holder in calling no names in the proposed traffic etc.,
then you may ktfow all.
The New York Muddle.
The whole country is thoroughly disgusted with the
fight over the governorship of the state of New York. The
whole trouble is due to the fact that Governor Sulzer would
not do the bidding of Tammany Hall. The first demand that
Tammany made on Sulzer after he became governor was to
pardon Charles Becker, the police lieutenant who has been
sentenced to death for having plotted and caused the murder
o: Rosenthal, the gambler last year. The ridiculous part of
the whole impeachment proceedings is the fact that Sulzer is
being impeached for acts which were committed before he be
came governor, and no official is impeachable except for acts
committed while in office. A still more ridiculous thing is
that Sulzer is not being impeached because he is a bad gov
ernor,for he is not, and he has never during the sixteen years
he was in congress voted for any measure but what was
worthy and patriotic. He is being impeached because he is
a good governor and refused to take orders from Tammany
Hall and her horde of cutthroat politicians and thugs. If
Charles F. Murphy is allowed to kick Sulzer out of the gu
bernatorial chair, New York will have to hang her head in
shame until the present generation shall have passed away.

Eugqric Marriage
Cardinal Gibbons, the venerable
prelate, in an address at Milwaukee
recently took a decided stand
against the new Eugenic Marriage
Law which is now being tried in
several states.
“Marriage is too sacred a thing
for lawmakers to meddle with,”
declares Cardinal Gibbons. “There
are comparatively few after all who
are unfit to wed. Marriage should
be left to individual to decide.”
There is much truth in these
words. While it is admitted that
many people marry who should not,
and that because of these marriages
much unhappiness is caused in this
world, yet the mistakes that can be
remedied by this law are few. Peo
ple are going to marry when and
where they please, A few physical
defects will not alter their course in
the least, says the Macon Telegraph.
The lawmakers would do much
more lasting good if they could de
vise some means to stop the grow
ing number of divorces that result
from marriages of physically sound
people. The divorce question is a
much more serious one than that
which the Eugenic law seeks to
remedy.

It Will Bea Mistake.
The Augusta Chronicle aptly
compares the farmers who favor the
Clark “rider” to the tax hill, which
seeks to put a curb on cotton ex
changes and futures contracts, to
the man who saws the litnb off be
tween himself and the tree to get
rid of a wasp nest. —Albany Her
ald.
It appears that congress is going
to make a mistake in this matter.
Trying to reach the “gamblers’’,
they are going to hurt the growers
and the purpose is really to help
the latter.
