The Jacksonian. ,mmm '" ' ■■ ~~ ■' OFFICIAL ORGAN OF BUTTS CO. Published every TrMay. S. E. ANDREWS, EDITOR. g”!!' . Subscription SIOO Per Yr. Advertising Rates Furnished On Application. 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. V> ' ' Much interesting matter is left out this week on account of shortness in the office force. OASTOHIA. Bmh th# Kind Vuu Have tlvtars Bsggtt Sr 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.— Pearson's Weekly. . 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.— St. Lov.ls Globe-Democrat. 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.

Get ready. Now 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!” JAMESTOWN RER-CEN TENNIAL EXPOSITION APRIL TO NOVEM BER 1907.

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.
