Hustling Little Town.
Two travelling men were in
conversation in front of the Hotel
Winder one afternoon recently
and one was heard to remark :
“This is my first trip to this city,
and I am agreeably surprised at
the appearance of the town. My
headquarters are out of the
state, but I may be transferred
next year. I would like to live
iu Winder, and if 'a business
change takes place that permits,
it, 1 think I shall make it ray
home. It certa|n]y is a hustling
little town”.
Tom, as he is familiarly called by the people here, .i& always
welcome in our. paidst. /*:. v •' 'N,
We are glad to learn that he will be a candidate to suc
ceed himself as congressman from the Ninth Georgia Con
gressional district in the primaries next year, and it goes
without saying that this section will give him almost a unan
imous vote, and from the best information obtainable, he will
be returned to congress by a larger majority than ever before
should he have any opposition.
He spoke encouragingly regarding appropriations, for
public buildings in our district in the near future, and as he
was successful in procuring appropriations last year for Toc
coa and Canton, we feel safe in saying that his efforts will be
further rewarded, and that Jackson and Gwinnett counties
will be taken care of in these matters, as they are next in
line.
Mr. Bell is a member of the committee on post offices
and post-roads, which is one of the most important in con
gress, and is chairman of the sub committee on railway mail
Service. He is an indomitable worker, and is personally pop
ular with all the members of congress, and he has made a
successful member. The truth is, he has done more for the
Ninth district than any former member of congress, and as
we view it from an impartial viewpoint, there is no good rea
son for a change; nor do we believe the people of the district
desire a change at the present time. He is in reality a friend
to the people, and is broad enough to recognize the rights
and wishes of all the people, and has the courage to stand by
his constituents who have placed confidence in him and who
have thus far honored him to a high office, which has never
changed him in the least toward the humblest of the citizens
of this country, but he remains the same firm, sincere, un
pretentious, fair-minded man he was before entering public
life.
Mr. Bell is looking fine; in fact his health is better than
it has been for several years.
Taken a Peep at Jackson Coun
ty’s Political Fences.
lion. Tom Bell, the present rep
resentative, of the Ninth c.ongre*
sional district, strolled very, lei's
ureiy through Jackson county i
few' days ago in hi SI automobile-
Just what his mission was, is
known only by conjecture, save
lo a tew of his bosom friends.
Reading between the lines his
purpose must have been to exam
ine the condition of bis politi
cal fences u this part of the
dis 4 rict. He spent the night
in Commerce, ran back up to
'Mayvs’jjlio, then ha ok to Com
merce, then down to Nicholson
then to Cen f er, then via Athe*n
to Winder, that, city being, Ids
political Jerusalem as related
Jackson county. Its a little
strange that Mr. Beli did not in
clude Jefferson, the “Hub,” the
county seat in his tour of inspec-
tion and pulse feeling. What s
th matter with Jefferson. Wha<
offense has she given Tom. Is
there a hen on at Jefferson. W ho
lives htere anyhow. Is there any
special reason why the congress
man should shun the county
seat of the grand old county of
Jackson. Evidently, he was not
afraid of the sheriff, for he hails
from Mr. Bells political Jerusa
lem in this county. All we know
about it io, that somehow, or oth
er, Mr. Bell did not include Jef
ferson in his tour of fence inspec
tion. —Commerce News.
About this same trip, The Jack
son Herald says: “Congressman
Bell was in the city on Thursday
of last week.”
Olf course hty “the city’*
was meant Jefferson.
Rather a small notice of the
presence of so distinguished a
visitor, it is true. But if Th,
Herald had ventured further, it
■might have expressed a politi
cal opinion ; and the effect on
its radrs might have been harm
ful unless they’d been forewarn
ed as to what wag coming. '[
Weather has been so . beautiful
and times too prosperous to
spring sensations, and the Herald
•was rlight in merely stating a
fact. ! ’ 1 i
Brother Shannon, did you have
to omit Jefferson from the itin
erary of the congressman’s trip
to find a basis for an article. It
would have filled up almost) as
much, space if you had stuck
to the facts. Whatever the ob
! v , t .. t •-
ject of Tom Bell’s visit to Jaek
sron was we know no*, but we
learn that his “political fences’’
are-in fine shape with plenty of
new rails lying around. When
Tom reached his “Jerusalem” h,
was wearing the smile of a full
fledged candidate for re-election.
And folks in these digging say
that smile will stick.
But don’t despair, oh, thou per
vertor of facts. You will have
an opportunity, no doubt, to
support the “hen” for a seat in
.th t i low r er house of the Georgia
! general assembly, and it will take
! all your energies to warm her up
enough to hatch a “little states
man.”
