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.

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.

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.
