STATEMENT FROM W. 0.
PERRY
lit his wail last week concerning
1 lit*"recommendation* of lie grand
jury and the failure of the people
to hack the offirials'in the enforce
ment of the prohibition law, Mr.
K. <>. Koss, editor of the Winder
News, took his second fling at me
on account of a verdict of not
guilty I helped to make in 1h
.Jack Me-Daniel case charged
with killing Uhe Duke.
As is generally known. 1 long
ago ceased to notice any criticism
of myself by Mr. Koss except
w hen he deliberately makes a
misstatement of facts. I qUote his
second criticism of the McDaniel
verdict as follows:
“At this term of court a good
citizen was brought to the court
sc to testify that he would not
believe a witness on oath, lie was
caught on the jury and was made
foreman of the jury in the case
where the witness testified. The
verdict demonstrated that he did
not believe the witness on oath.
Was he a competent juror? Or
should the jury have been permit
ted to p:iss on 1 1 is oat li.
The above statement is about
as nearly correct as Mr. Koss us
ually gets them in his efforts to
discredit and criticise everything
I do and say.
In the first place. I don’t rem
ember of ever having heard of
.lack .McDaniel killing Obe Duke
until llic case v\as tried the se
cond Tuesday in the recent term
of our court, nor do I renictnbor
of ever hearing of -lack McDaniel
before that date as I have been in
Winder only a small part of the
time before and since that event.
It is possible I may have heard
of it but ii' so it had entirely slip
ped my mind.
In the second place, I was licit h
cr BKOHMIT, stibpoanaed or re
quested to go to the court and
testify I would not believe a wit
ness oil oath in the McDaniel ease.
I did remain in W inder on
Tuesday of the second week of
court to confer wit li < ’ol. K 11.
Kimball on a ease in which I am
administrator. I had to go to the
court room to see him and when 1
did, tin- she rift’ had the clerk to
place-ni) name at* a juror. \\ bile
t u tc. Col. K. C. Kussell called me
aside and ask me if 1 remembered
a negro woman by the name of
oh. Duke. I told him l remember
ed the name but would not know
tlu woman if I were to meet her
on the street. He then ask me coll
ect ui: g her reputation in police
court while I was Mayor. I told
him it was bad. ’Thai is the only
conversation I ever had with Col.
Russell regarding the woman.
I was matlo foreman of tlm jury
ami when the state tailed, in my
judgement. to offer suftieient evi
dence to convict McDaniel, l sup
ported a verdict of not guilty. I
don't consider that it should he
any fault of mine that Mr. IJos
brothel' was on the losing side •
the verdict.
t must say that I deeply sympa
thize with Mr. boss in his el >'t
to arouse the people to the and.
charge of their duty is bach in*.,
the officials in the enforcement
the prohibition law. 1 know just
how he feels. I’ve been right then
myself.
In 1916, the chairman id' the po
lice committee had two white men
and one negro detective to come
and try to clean the town up. Mr.
Ross himself was about the first
to criticise me on the streets and
thru his paper and even tried to
put the negro detective in jail
for carrying a weapon to protect
himself from the crowd on the
streets at night while some thirty
five blind tigers were being tried.
I hope Mr. Ross lias reached the
point to where he can support the
officials in the enforcement of the
prohibition law regardless of who
may l>e Mayor.
I fear however that being con
sistent on any question is rather
difficult he is to be judged by
the following advice from him
given within six months of each
other.
On March 6th 1919, Mr. Koss
stood this way:
“You should trade at home -
the home merchant is your best
friend and if he hasn’t got what
you want, he can get it.’’
On Sept. 18th 1919. after re
ceiving an order for advertise
ments away from home, he stood
this way:
“Read the advertisements from
our sister cities in this issue and
if you see any thing you want,
go get it. The roads are good and
a few miles makes hut little diff
erence in a flivver.”

WOMEN COMING INTO THEIR
OWN.
Willi all the horrors of the re
cent war, many good thoughts
are to be found if one looks for
them.
For many years, women have
been looked upon as mere school
teachers and not worth much pay
even in that line, of late, we find
that women are demonstrating to
i ie world that they are as compe
tent as men in most lines of work
and more so in many lines.
below we copy an interesting
article concerning a mere woman:
WOMAN BANK CASHIER.
The Peoples Hank of Sardis,
(la., lias the distinction of having
tlie only woman bank cashier in
Georgia. She is Miss Carrie -T.
Weathers, an Augusta girl, and
still in her twenties. She first be
came private secretary to *l. A.
Davis, president of the bank, and
she evinced such remarkable busi
to the responsible position of
cashier soon followed.
The Peoples Dank is a member
of the federal reserve system and
was mentioned as a model for a
well conducted country hank by
Governor W. It. Wellborn, of the
federal reserve hank id' Atlanta,
in a speeeli before the Georgia
Bankers Association.
One of the noticeable tilings
about tli Sardis hank, as pointed
out by local hankers, is its method
of doing business, it lends money
on cotton to farmers only. The
average country bank pays more
attention to lending to buyers.
For the hist two years, it is stated
no farmer lias sold cotton in this
hank’s territory unless he was
ready to sell. While the bank pays
for cotton for. buyers, it requires
quick' and frequent settlements.

Cal mol tli n-s! It's mercury.
Calom l mt- lik* dynamite on a. slug

contact with soar bile it crashes into it,
causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti

your druggist and get a liottle of Dod

is a harmless vegetable substitute for

if it doesii . start your liver and
straighten von up lietter and quicker
than na-ty calomel and without making

money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides,
it may salivate you. while if you take

Knife Pickwick Handled.
There is a first-rate anecdote In Mr.
J. .7. Hlssey’s book, “Gossip of the
Hoad,” concerning the popularity of
Dickens—or Pickwick. One of the
two, but which one? Mr. Ilissey was
staying at the Angel, in Bury St. Ed
munds. and was reflecting aloud on the
fact that Mr. Pickwick was supposed
to have stayed there, when ids host in
dignantly exclaimed: “Supposed! This,
sir, is the very inn where he stopped
I've the very curving knife that Mr.
Pickwick used when he was here.”—
