Thursday, December 3, 1908.
The 800 Pangs could make no
headway in Atlanta, lait the dang
dudes elected a mayor.
Johnson, of the Henry (out tv
Weekly, was in Winder Monday.
Madisonian take notice.
Atlanta’s headless city govern
ment is to have a real mayor Jan
uary I. This is a long step from a
“eypla r with the ring ruhhed off.
The fumes of Atlanta's cleaning
up process has effected the whole
state of (ieorgia. She should have
sprinkled the floor and begun
earlier.
Our sentiments: We are glad
Jim Woodward was defeated for
mayor of Atlanta, hut we are no*
overjoyed at the selection of a
society dttde for the position.
It is to he hoped that all the
walking delegates who have heeti
sucking the life's blood out of or
ganized labor in Atlanta went down
to defeat with Jim Woodward.
It is much more pleasant
with an energetic salesman who is
anxious to please than to Iniv got ds
in' a jam from a clerk who is so
tired hu,eau scarcely stand. So do
Christmas shopping early and
avoid the rush.
A

farming county, the first cotton
growing county in the state. There
arc a number of I fall citizens, farm
ers, who are moving to Jackson.
They are attracted by the cotton
yield —Cainesvile 1 lerald.

The postal deficit is just #lb,*
b7-V-J-. The shortage is the larg
est in the history of the depart meld .
No wonder the government can
print siainped ' return envelopes
cheaper than we can hu.v them
blank. The people are taxed to
keep up ihc deficit while this
’gigantic printory is being used to
put the small printing firms out of
business. And the little merchant
who sends to Washington for his
printed envelopes is going to b<
greatly surprised if all new-papcr
d m doesn's climb upon the house
tops and wave a rial rag against the
•adoption of the special parcel post.
Th< parcel post will receive a trv
out during this administration, and
if adapted as a permanent, institu
tion it might diminish the bank ac
count of “me and my wife, my son
John and his wife. '
'flic question that so astounds us
is how the fellow who never takes
the paper always knows what is in
it —and another tiling, whv he stul
tifies himself by reading something

Woodward, the nominee of the
white primary, was elected bv a
majority of iJ.IU) vote's. Wood
ward went on a spree after Ins
nomination for muvor and his
conduct was so shameful that the
good people of the (fate Oil v rose
en masse to overthrow him in the
name ot decency. They have ac
complished their purpose, and nil
(ieorgia extends congratulations
to Atlanta. It was claimed by
Woodward and some of the edi
tors of the state press that Hindi a
course would sound the death
knell to the white primary.
Well, what of it? The white
primary has served its purpose,
and it is time to build a few pnr
t v lines am*wav.

Brother Flanigan, of the (ivvin
mtt Journal, has been giving
much time and study to the sub
ject of conveyances. In the Inst
issue of his paper he ha- a lengthy
editorial reaching hack into the
days of pack horses and stage
coaches. With great descriptive
genius he tells us how the stage
coach was supplanted by the
wagon and the buggy, which in
turn was forced to make room for
the locoinotive and automobile
The editor’s research into the

careful. Jl is said there is no
