Those talkative women of South
Georgia have worried our corre
spondents somewhat. There are
others hereabouts who don t care to
learn of their jabber, and there are
some few who wish folks wouldn’t
throw rocks.
Since the death of Elsie Seigel at
the hands of a New York Chinaman
some of the northern papers have
had fierce captions over tehir edito
rials upon the subject, such as 4 Let
’Em Go to Hell,” “Infenal Rat
Eaters,” etc.
Printers on the Jackson Herald
strike more “phat” than can Ik*
found in any other paper which
comes to this ollice. —Lawrenceville
News-Herald.
Don’t know about that. They
may run short on “sorts.”
Judge Robinson, of Gwinnett,
refused to issue marriage licenses to
two couples Saturday because the
girls were under eighteen. George
is not “agin” marrying, but if
people plunge into trouble while he
is ordinary be intends that they
shall be old enough to know what
they are doing.
The question of a political line
up was brought out in the McLen
don investigating committee Wed
nesday. When Wright, of Floyd,
said something about a line-up,
Senator Slater retorted that “those
on the other side are so strongly
lined up that all hell can’t change
them.” The senator wa- cal ed to
order.
It is said that Indiana farmers
are bringing fresh eggs to town in
automobiles. That beats Winder,
and since we come to think of it,
the idea forces itself upon us that it
migi.t Ik* better for the town if our
men of wealth would invest in small
manufacturing enterprises and let
the fanners have the automobiles to
haul in fresh eggs.
The Grand lodge of the Indepen
dent and Unmolested Order of
Mosquitoes held a convention in
W ir.der Tuesday night. ’Twas a
business session and song service
combined and we were not per
mitted to read the resolutions, if
any were passed, complimentary to
pur city council.
Patten has a corner on July
wheat anil the price reached Sl.2d
Wednesday. The prediction is
freely made that $1.50 will l**
reached U*fore the end of month.
With cotton at 12c ami wheat at
$1.25 things seem to Ik* going the
farmer’s way, but the wage earners
and middle men who have to buy
that flour are up against a tough
proposition.
fHE “NIGH-BEER” DIVE.
In our reference to the nigh-beer
joint just outside of the limits of
Winder in Jackson county, last
week, it was not our intention to
insinuate that the ordinary has
not done his full duty in the
premises, according to the pro
hibition law, nor do we believe
that “Jim Wills, ‘ who is a
tee-totaller and a life-long prohibi
tionist would have issued the li
c -uses had he believed there was a
semblance of law to back him up.
Our object was to call attention to
the special act of the legislature
which banished “White Hops’’
from Jackson county, and the fact
that necr-beer is the same beverage
under another name. We really
meant to inquire if, by any twisting
and turning, it was possible to make
the special act applicable to near
l>eer, and if the prohibition law
supercedes all such acts, now \< the
time to have another special act
passed. In other words, Jackson
county was as dry as a chip until
we got state-wide near-prohibition.
Now she is living slopped over with
this early variety of seed-corn to
healthy blind tigers and we are in
the middle of a bad fix over this
way. The good jieople of the im
mediate neigborhood are helpless.
What is Jackson county going to do
a Unit it?
JUSTICE TO SENATOR A. 0. BACON.
Asa matter of simple justice,
the Jeffersonian must set Senator R -
con right. He voted for what he
Considered a revenue tariff on lum
ber, and in this we thought he went
wrong. First, the Denver platform
pledges Democrats in Congress to
put timber, logs and lumber on the
free list; and, second, the party has
been generally understood to favor
free raw materials. We take no
stock in Senator Bailey’s claim that
untaxed raw materials mean double
protection to the manufacturers.
So long its the Tariff on finished
products is as high as at present,
any addition to to the cost of raw
materials will simply be used as an
excuse to advance the price of man
ufactures.
While we took Senator Bacon to
task for his lumber vote, we must
bear testimony to the fact that he
has made a gallant fight, through
out the extra-session, for a very
substantial reduction of the Tariff
burden. He has stood up to the
New England push in a way that
we admire. He wrung some im
portant concessions from Aldrich,
and did everything that was possi
ble to so adjust Federal taxation
that it would bear less crushingly
upon the farmer. We have been
reading the Congressional Record,
from day to day, and had someone
inquired who is the leader of the
Democratic Opposition in the Sen
ate, our answer would have been, —
“Judging by the Record, —Bacon
is.”
For twelve years he has endeav
ored to place bagging and ties on the
free list. Several tunes he succeed
ed in the senate, hut the duties were
restored in the Conference Com
mittee. At this extra-session, Sen
ator Bacon again made a tight for
free bugging and ties. He suc
ceeded as to the Jute, but the
Steel Trust owns the Senate ma
jority, and the tax on ties re
mains.
It was recently stated that Sena
tor Bacon is in favor of foreign
cheap labor, and dago immigration.
That is a mistake. The Senator is
not only in full accord with his
people upon that subject, but has
announced his intention to vote for
the increased head tax on immi
grants. —Watson's Jeffersonian.

ARE YOU IN THE MAR
KET FOR A FARM?
If so we are the people you want
to see. We have been selling from
5 to 8,000 acres of land every year for
several years past, and always handle
farm lands that appeal to our custo
mers.
When you buy a farm you want
to get one in a healthy section, where
you have the best of school and church
facilities, kind neighbors, not too far
from market, strong and productive
land, and land that will continue to
enhance in value.
Our farms offer you all of the
above advantages and many mere we
cannot take time to explain in this ad
vertisement.
Most of our farms are in Middle
and Northeast Georgia, the paradise
of all the South, and a section of un
limited opportunities and possibilities.
During the past five years we have
sold more farms than any real estate
firm in Georgia, and we know of no
one in all this large number but who
has had the opportunity of making
from 25 to 200 per cent on his invest
ment.
We have some very desirable
places for sale this year in Jackson,
Walton, Gwinnett, Oglethorpe, Greene,
McDuffie, Talifario and other counties.
Farms ranging from 50 to 2,000 acres,
and prices and terms that leave no ex
cuse for the man who really wants a
home, or the man who wants to buy
for investment.
If you believe in DOING things
we will be glad to hear from you, show
you our bargains and give you any
information desired.
Write us what you want, where
you want it, and how many wish
to locate in same community. We
have some large tracts of land that can
be cut inte any size farms to suit pur
chaser.

WINDER GEORGIA.
