JJntered at the Jackson (Ga.)
Post Office as second class
mail matter.
Justice is all we ask*
W
There is a limit to blackguardism
&8 well as any other ism, and if the
people of Jackson have not had e
nough of J. B. Wall then there is no
disputing the fact that they have
double lined stomachs. It has been
said by the country people for a long
time that the administration of the
Jackson City government was, at
times, amass of rot and insult to jus
tice and public decency. It is more
notoriously true today than ever be
fore since the city first fell into the
hands of the wicked. Just let a
countryman come to town and get a
little boozy and he is promptly run
Into the Calaboose, fined and given to
ttnderstond that nothing of the kind
Will be tolerated, when as a matter
of fact a town man can get drunk and
paint the town red and he is sent
home to sober up and nothing said a
bout it. Less than a month ago the
writer saw a young man so beastly
drunk that he couldn’t walk by a
post without butting Into it, and
nothing said or done, Another in
stance is told of . a young Jacksonite
who was drunk on Sunday and riding
up and down the streets sitt' ng in the
lap of a nigger and if there was any
thing said about it never leaked out.
And yet in the face of ail this, this
same Mayor, this “purty” man, with
hia hypocritical smile that so
completely hides his
diabolical soul, comes to
the front, as a dispenser of J ustice and
fines the Editor of the Jacksonian os
tensibly for disorderly conduct when
as a matter of fact as the best men of
the town aa l country know and are
not hesitating to assert the fine was
Imposed to gratify a private grudge
and because hefelt secure of the the
endorsement of the higher powers in
inflict ion of his ruscally fine on a con
temptibe cl i hayseed. Why didn’t
he investigate the gambling row on
Christmas flay in his own office, or
nearby? Was it because fie was in
the game? He needn’t say lie was
not there, for it was he, the Mayor
Of Jackson who telephoned for the
doctor, and the doctor says they had
a dead man on their hands for two
hours, and they were beginning to
think it was a permanent corpse.
Why did he not make cases in that
occasion? Again we ask, why did
not this city Mayor, this pitiful little
insignificant lawyer who hasn’t
brains enough for a humming lids
breukfast, who, if it were not for his
feetwoull rise like a gas ball ion,
this contemptible fellow who was fir
ed from being County Attorney for
filching papers from the Commission
era office, Why did he not investi
gate that, gmnbfirg affair.
There sre a number of things that
we will air in the future but. for the
present we forbear because the more
we think of this monstrosity the more
nauseous we become, But in closing
we wish to appeal to the country peo
ple who have legal busiuess, to carry
it to someone else and not patronize
a man who holds them in contempt,
and who refuses to render them jus
tice when brought before him in his
official capacity.

The man who stopped his Jackso
nian with the statement that it was
not tinea to go in*.o awhile man’s
house, ought not to forget the favor
confered on him by the Editor in the
year of grace 189(5 when the said Ed
itor was a salesman for Thompson
Bros. He seems to be in a talking
mood now but then his HUMBLE
request was to keep mum.
The Cause of Bnoring.
Tills is not for you, because you
never snore. No one ever does snore
himself. It Is always the other fellow.
But you can rend this and then tell
that guilty other fellow bow to break
himself of his had habit, for snoring
Is merely a bad habit and as such
can be overcome. It Is caused pri
marily by Improper breathing—that Is,
breathing through the mouth Instead
of through the nostrils—so, first of all,
care should be taken during waking
hours to breathe correctly. The habit
once formed of keeping the mouth as
firmly closed ns possible, he will be
less likely to sleep with It open. Then
see that your troublesome snorer has
a proper pillow. lie should sleep with
liis head as flat as possible, for If his
head Is pushed fouward and the neck
bent the tongue drops back against
the soft palate and forms an obstruc
tion which makes all the unmusical
sounds we hear when the air is forced
past It.—St. James' Gazette.
The Laet Match Saved Them.
The ship had lain becalmed in a trop
ical sea for three days. Not a breath
of air stirred the mirrorlike surface of
the sea or the limp sails that hung
from the yards like drapery carved In
stone. The captain resolved to wait
no longer. lie piped up all hands on
deck nnd requested the passengers to
also come forward.
“I must ask all of you,” he said, "to
give me every match that you have.”
Wonderingly tiie passeugers and crew
obeyed. The captnin carefully arranged
the matches in his hands as each man
handed him his store until all had
been collected. Then he threw them
all overboard but one, drew a cigar
from his pocket nnd, striking the soli
tary match on the mainmast, endeav
ored to light it. In an instant a furi
ous gale swept over the deck, extin
guished the match and filled the sails,
and the good ship Mary Ann sped
through llie waves on her course.—

Ths Cod’s Bill of Fare.
An Interesting exhibit in the South
Kensington museum, London, illus
trates the omnivorous nature of the
cod’s diet. Among the lisli falling a
prey to Its voracious maws we note
the young of tne herring, dab, whiting
and sand eel. Shrimps and young lob
sters also form an important Item in
the cod's menu. The strangest part of
the cod’s diet perhaps is the sea mouse,
whose thick covering of bristles might
be thought to render it unwelcome to
any stomach. Large whelks nnd-shells
of whelks with their Indwelling hermit
crabs are also largely devoured. From
its partiality to inollusks, in fact, the
cod may become an assistant to the
shell collector. Woodward in his ‘‘Man
ual of the Mollusca” remarks that
“some good northern seashells have
been rescued unbroken from the stom
ach of the cod.” London Globe.
Growing Flowers In Winter.
A long run of dark days In winter is
bad for the florists. It matters little
how cold the weather is, provided
there Is sunshine, for the heat can al
ways he maintained to the proper
point, and with sunshine flowers will
bloom just ns freely when the ther
mometer shows an outdoor tempera
ture of zero as at the freezing point,
though of course more money must be
spent for coni. But when, day after
day. for weeks nt a time, clouds over
hang the sky. nothing will grow as it
should. The carnation buds develop
slowly until they are half open nnd
wait for sunshine, nnd if it does not
come In four or live days the blooms
decay. So also it is with callus nnd
roses. They will open halfway, then,
without sunlight, will quickly spoil.—

How They Dance In Hungary.
With the exception of the Spaniards
there la no nation in Europe that
dances like the Hungarians. They love
It with a love that amounts to a passion.
They not only go in for it heart and
soul, hut they will dance on anything,
In any sort of weather. A paddock, a
village street, a stable yard, the earth
eu floor of a wayside esarda—lt is all
the same to them. Not the scorching
sun or the whirling dust or the pelting
ruin or the falliug snow will deter
them. They all dance beautifully too.
It seems to be In their blood.
In the great observatories of Europe
and America there are men who are
spendlug their lives in entering In big
books night by night ilgnres that mere
ly go to make up tables from which
our desoeudants, centuries ht-uce. shall
be able to calculate the procession of
the equinoxes.

What His Ears Were For.
A young Irishman applied at a re
cruiting station in New York city, seek
ing enlistment into the army. Al
though of apparent fine physique and
of the best character, as attested by a
letter from his former employer, a well
known lady of Fifth avenue, he was
unable to pass the physical examina
tion. A few moments later, on being
told of his rejection, he assumed a dog
ged attitude and inquired the reason
for his rejection.
“Your hearing is defective,” an
swered the medical examiner.
“What?” demanded the young Irish
man, throwing liis chin forward and
furrowing his forehead as though he
did not comprehend.
“The reason is, you can’t hear in one
ear!” returned the physician impatient
ly.
The youth eyed the doctor hard a
moment, then slapped his hat on his
head.
“Begobs. it’s freaks ye want in your
army, thin!” he exclaimed, moving to
ward the door. “Onny sinsible mon or
woman ’ll tell ye whin ye go t’ look a
job, thot only wan ear is for what ye
hear t’ go into; th’ other is fer what ye
hear t' go out of!”

Cochineal.
Cochineal, so much used for coloring
•table jellies and also given to infants
as a domestic remedy for whooping
cough, is the whole insect of a class
called coccus, but only the females are
used. Why? Because the insects are
captured by suffocating them with the
smoke of fires below the trees on which
they live, and as the males have wings,
while the females have none, the gen
tlemen take to flight when the atmos
phere becomes unpleasantly warm,
leaving their ladies to their fate.
