Sometimes prospective candidates
are bad actors at the post. They
spend a gr< at d< al of time jockeying
for a start.
It is tiie concensus of opinion
among Democrats that Terrible Ted
dy is going to rough-ride the G. O. P.
elephant this summer.
Politically speaking, a few frogs
in a pond can make some noise, but
that is no sign that the small fish
will swallow a glittering decoy.
If Wilson continues to write notes
he will put some of the Georgia
weeklies out of business. Blank pa
per is advancing in price at an alarm
ing rate.
It Is said Hoke and Tom-Tit will
attend the Democratic convention at
Macon. We will not be there this
time. Seeing that pair in action at
Macon once was enougli for us.
Mr. Brayzell, who had charge of
the construction of Harrow county’s
jail, began work on Murray county’s
new court house at Chatworth, Ga.,
last Saturday. The new jail here
is a model of first class workman
ship.
An industrious rumor department
is having it whispered all around
that Judge R. B. Russell will be a
candidate for Congress. Meanwhile
the judge is searching his opponent
for weapons before challenging him
to a fight.
The past year has demonstrat
ed that Winder needs a hospital, or
at least well-fitted up operating
rooms. Quite a number of patients
in this territory have been taken to
Atlanta upon stretchers to undergo
operations. It would save delay and
much inconvenience and suffering
were the operations performed at
Winder. The favorite surgeon can
come to the patient more readily
than the patient can be taken to the
surgi on. A person in a critical con
dition needs all of the physical
strength at his command in order to
undergo a serious surgical operation,
and tiie long and worrisome ride to
Atlanta should be avoided if possi
ble.
Editor Shannon calls him Uev. Ma
rini Jackson in answering an at
tempt of the Atlanta Way to swing
the prohibition vote of Georgia to
Governor Harris. We knew .Marion
a number of years ago before he
came into the limelight as a re
former and lie and Torn Felder were
not preachers at that time. Temper
ance is rot confined to alcoholics
ah n<>, and the words of faddists and
agitators who are intemperate in
their speech in regard to truth will
have small weight with the prohibi
tionists of Georgia. Lam G. Hard
man has lived a life of temperance
in all things from his youth up, the
character of man worth while to his
community and his state- a man of
stamina, a man of honor, a man of
truth and a real prohibitionist by
precept and example.
Joy Lang, solicitor of the Chero
k e Circuit, says: "I do not believe
in favoritism, and if there is any
difference to be made, I believe that
the poor, Ignorant fellow, who lias nt *
show in the world and who has no
friends with a pull, is entitled to
more leniency than the man who'
knows better and who has influen
tial friends to work in his behalf.”
Even-handed justice to the rich and
poor, white and black is the crying
need to ingender a healthy respeejt
for the law. At the last term of Bar
row Superior Court a number of no
groes and a number of white men j
were under arrest charged with gam
bling in the woods on Sunday near
Winder on different occasions, i ..
all pleaded guilty to the accusations
ami settled their cases with the so
licitor. It cost the negroes $43.75
in each case and the white men
$26.00. Why? D. K.
NEVER TOUCHED US.
A somewhat gingorey call-down of
the editors who refused to publish
whiskey and beer ads and have ac
cepted* contracts to .advertise cigar
ettes, from the versatile pen of Edi
tor Paul Harbeer, of Commerce Ob
server, is going the rounds of the
weekly press. We turned down the
whiskey and beer ads. and have
accepted the cigarette contract. Now
listen, Paul, we are a law-abiding cit
izen and whiskey and beer are out
lawed in Georgia, while cigarettes are
not. We have no doubt that the
kiddies in your own dear Commerce
may obtain all of the cigarettes they
desire. The writer, who is still out
of the asylum at the age of over for
ty and weighing 193 pounds has been
smoking cigarettes since he was fif
teen years of age, and Piedmonts are
his favorite brand. We prefer to
recommesd them in preference to
those of more injurious and inferior
quality. Should there be some twen
ty or tiiirty legally conducted beer
saloons in Winder, your comparison
would be more applicable. Our main
guide, Paul, is a sincere compliance
with the spirit of the law, and we
care not how soon the legislature
places the ban on cigarettes and pat
ent medicine fakirs.
GOVERNMENT BUILDING.
It is announced from Washington
that a public building bill will fol
low tiie rivers and harbors bill that
was passed some time since. This is
a reminder that Moultrie is waiting
for a public building winch was pro
vided for something like three or
four years ago. Maybe a little hur
rying up would start something mov
ing along tiie line of building here. —
Moultrie Observer.
ECONOMY AND NERVE.
The editor of one of the smallest
newspapers in tlie state is said to
have received the following letter:
“Please send me a few copies of the
paper containing the death of my
aunt. Also publish the enclosed clip
ping of the marriage .of my niece,
who lives in Lebanon. Andi wish
you would mention in your local col
umns, if it don’t cost anything, that
I have two bull calves for sale. As
my subscription is out please stop
the paper. Times are too hard to
waste money on newspapers.’’ Lx.
A FALSE REPORT.
A report is being circulated that
1 have withdrawn from the race for
tax receiver, and that my entrance
fee to the primary had not been paid
Now, 1 want to say that I am still
in the race and will be till the last
ballot has been counted.

Following is a certificate showing
that my entrance fee lias been paid:
April 26, 1916.
This is to certify that 1 received

The Atlanta (leorgian made the
discovery of blood-stained clothing
in the Ennis’ trunks last week, but
the Constitution and Atlanta Jour
nal refused to join in the chase for
further hideous and horrible discov
eries. As yet no lynching lias oc
curred. The trunks were packed a
few days before the suspected slay
ers of the Nelms sisters were re
moveed to Georgia from Texas, say
the prisoners. The Georgian had
the cl' thii'g identifi'd as those of
Elois Nelms, and had the other two
daili* s joined in with the yelp and
discov- red.bleached bones, a diamond
ring and a lock of hair, it is highly
probable that the editors-in-chief
would now be writing lengthy edi
torials calling upon the citizens to
respect the law.

The annual memorial exercises at
Bethabara church will be held Sun
day, May 14, 1916 (Second Sunday).
About tiie usual program will be car
ried out. Songs, marching to the
cemetery, devotional exercises, dec
crating the graves with flowers. (It
won't hurt if everybody brings along
witli the dinner basket a bunch of
flowers.) The usual noon preaching
and then a picnic dinner and a cor
dial welcome to every one who will
come. Any members who have mov
ed away will be gladly welcomed
back again. Those of the highways
and byways are especially, invited to
come and worship witli us. Not only
on this particular second Sunday but
on every second Sunday.
On last Friday Mr. J. E. Pentecost
invited us to ride witli him and “Un
cle Riclard’’ down into one of the
finest sections of Barrow county to
visit the model home of Mr. Wiley
Cross, who lives three miles south
east of Winder. I enjoyed the hos
pitality of the ride very much and
again was pleased and charmed witli
looking at Mr. Cross’ magnificent
home equipment. Everything so neat'
and convenient. I think that it
would pay many farm owners to vis
it Mr. Cross, simply to learn how to
take care of things; to have a place;
for everything, and everything in its
place.
Most of us leave our farm tools
where we use them last. When we
want to use them again we must lose
valuable time going to the fields to
hunt them up.
