Joe Hill Hall introduced a bill

The Journal has taken her medicine

she is still making ugly faces and

stitute the of a country editor.
The Atlanta, Birmingham and
Atlantic railroad has connected
south Georgia with the commercial
world ami land values in that sec
tion are increasing rapidly. Winder
real estate dealers have been in the
forefront in dividing up large tracts
into small farms and disposing of
them to home seekers. Not satis
fied with being the business center
of three counties, our enterprising!
citizens occasionally take a little
automobile spin into south Georgia
to dispose of a Few thousand acres!
of land.
Yancey Carter, the independence
candidate for governor, is sending
literature to some of Gov. Hoke
Smith’s friends in this section. If
Yancey bases his hopes of election
on tins following, he has another
guess corning. These men arc built
of sterner stuff than to l>e shifted
around by the small breeze the In
dependence liCaugue is likely to
create. While' they were ardent
supiKtriers of Mr. Smith, and still
believe the majority made a mistake
in refusing to give him an indorse
ment term, they are thinking men
who have the welfare of the state of
Georgia at heart and are outspoken
in their loyalty to the party nomi
nees.
JUST RECONCILES HIM.
Said a traveling man to the ed
itor: *’! always look forward with
a great deal of pleasure t > mv visits
to Winder. A visit to Winder is a
sure cure for the blues. W inder

Kinder reconciles him to most
~nv other place, perhaps, after see
ing Winder. —Atlanta Georgian.
Except as an employee of The
Georgian, perhaps. Didn t think
Reese would lu- guilty of taking stray
sentences from a paragraph and
shaping them up for comment. But
we understand, Johnny. Ihe main
squeeze of The Georgian didn't like
our reference a few weeks ago to
his punctured Roosevelt boom, and
is a little sore from falling around
in an attempt to g t onto the dem
ocratic platform. Cigars that you
don't see this in The Georgian.
••A COUNTRY’S PRIDE."
Extracts from an editorial in The
Gwinnett Journal:
"Over in Jackson county, in the
neighborhood of Hosehtou, there
are several men who own large
tracts of land. Dr. \\ . I*. DeLa
porricrc is said to own about ten
thousand acres. The Hill brothers
have several thousand acres. Bras
elton brothers and J. N. Thompson
arc large land owners. Altogether
these four families own most of the
farm lands in that section. The re
sult is that these farms are tenant
ed by negroes. White people do
not care to live amid such surround-
| mgs and move away. Churches and
schools suffer and social life dete
ri< > rates.
“Gwinnett county lias no such
conditions as the example cited
above. We have no large land
owners. The one and two horse
farmer is the rule. The standard
of intelligence here is above the
average and altogether no better
people can be found than the good
country people of our county.’
Don’t know, but we were under!
the impression that some of the j
above named gentlemen pay taxes |
in Gwinnett and the greater part of
their lands is rented to prosperous
white tenants. Have heard of col
ored men living on small farms as
well as large ones. However, we
are in the position of the fellow who
was asked if he intended to goto
heaven or the other place. We've
got friends in both counties.
So we jxiss this clipping up to
our Hosehton correspondent.
I HANKS.
1 wish to express through The
News my sincere thanks for the loy
al support rendered me by my
friends m my race for Commissioner
of Roods and Revenues in the re
cent primary. For those who voted
against me I liUve but the kindest
feeling. Deeply do 1 appreciate the
llattering support given me in the
districts where 1 was best known.
Hoping the time may come when 1
may show my appreciation in a
more substantial way, 1 am yours to
command. J- M. Haynik.
The indications are that the
Holder hill will pass the house by
a larger majority than it received at
the regular session and pass the sen
ate by a safe majority.

Before sending your money away on
Mail Orders suppose you just peruse
the ADVERTISING COLUMNS of
this paper for bargains. Of course if
you don’t see ADVERTISED here what
you want you are quite likely to yield
to the temptation to buy through a
ca ta logtte.
Some of our local Merchants have
discovered that the best way to com
bat Mail Order competition is to use
the chief ammunition of the Mail Or
der peopIe—ADVERTISING. No doubt
you compare notes as between Home
Advertisers and Foreign Advertisers—
the outsiders—and prefer to trade at
home if you see what you want.
