The Jacksonian. OFFICIAL ORGAN* OF BUTTS CO. Punished €t>crv Triday. S. E. ANDREWS, EDITOR. Subscription $i oo Per Yr. Advertising Kates Furnished On Application. Entered at the Jackson (Ga.) Post Office as second class mail matter. The following lines by Longfellow are doubtless true: If we could read the secret hirtorj of our enemies, we should find in each man’s life sorrow and suffer ng enough to disarm all hostilities. Never till evil of a man if you do not know it for a certainty ; and if you know it for a certainty, remember that “blessed !s he that taaeth not up a reproach against his neighbor.” —Enterprise-Gazet to A mans private sins are his priva e property, and the Book says: “be sure your sins will find you out,” and that we presume without assistance from the Hinners neighbors. But. When the evil is of a man in a public place, or when his acts effect his fel low man, then everyone should con demn his evil acts in such terms that will make him ashamed to be seen a mong good men. His evil deeds should be shouted from the housetop so often and so loud that he will seek for quarters where people come near er down to a level with him, if such place can be found. Criticism is the most dreaded weap on weiideU in moral warfare. Join the Commissioners in a Line of Economy. The people seem to bo very much Interested in the subject of good roads, the means to spend in making them , good , and the manner of raising said means ro operate with. While the writer is not personally in favor of m bond issue for that or any other.pur pose— yet everybody is saying that something ought to be done and done at once. It las been proposed that the people “join our commissioners in a line of economy and by this, and this alone raise from county the bur den of high tax.” Now that is the key note to the t line, and if somebody will point out to ihe people in wliat corner of the big field of economy our commissioners .'are aperating in we are sure the people and among then, Charlie Redman will stampede and fairly root up the earth to help lif, the county’s “burden of high tax” wherejare they at? Where are we all at? Are the commissioners pe.r sueing a line of economy when hey dive headlong into useless litigation and pay their lawyers SI6OO to con test a case that was a foregone cot - elusion from the very beginning? Is it economy for the Commissioners to issue a wairunt to their attorney for hid last years salary for services that were never rendered? Was that economy? Someone answer please. Is that economy? The people are be ginning to real'ze that Butts County's Comm sb o ters need legal ad-’ice and need it bad. and the way to get it is to employ a lawyer. Economy is What we want, and economy is what the people mean to have, after the next election if not behire. Iu passing we feel it to be only jus tice it state that commissioner Mad dox has never been in sympathy with the present administration of the ©ounty's affairs, and while ono against two is a hopeless minority yet in Maddox the peoples hopes are center •d. HOT SH O T Tom and Jerk y. Is there a prejudice on the part o the country people against Jackson? T.tis statement is often made in the hearingof the writer, but we are com pelled to say that the word “preju dice” is not the word to express just what you mean. The better word would be “greivance, ’ Boys, they, this fast dying town ring, have played you for a sucker. Some of you have nibbled and Home been caught, bur, thank God, most of you are waking up to the game. When your interest comes in con tact with the interest of this preda tory gang you don’t stand any more show than a.“nigger”at a lynching. The favored class in Jackson are assessed but little for taxes and they return their property for County tax ation as it is assessed. You have tc oome up to the lick-log, salt or ni salt, and your property bears, by far, more than itß equal part of the tax burdens of the County. “This is a] right”, the ring says, “they do not belong to our crowd.” Boys, let noi your hands hang down nor your kneei quake, there is a day coming when this will all be righted. There is a da.' corning when the penetentiary will receive its own and your wrongs cor rected. The day when men lay claim io honesty because they escape jail if fast passing, A technical honest life will not satisfy the demands of the people as it formerly has done. The day has overtaken us whei men, to satisfy the demands of the times, must be honest for the sake of honesty, and a mere technical hones ty wiil not suffice. The world is demandlngclean hand*- in private, commercial ond official walks of life, with such strictness ai it has never done before. The time has come when you cannot lie and de ceiee people in business and expeci for your business to continue to run. You cau’t parade before the public as a competitor, deluding and d>ceivinf the people, when, as a matter of fact you are not a competitor. There was a time when this was winked at and tne people culled it “sharp practice’’, but now they cull ic deception, hyp ocrisy. fraud, untruth, guile and corruption. It takas a brave heart to push the pec which will unmask the deception and guile which has been practiced upon the people of Butts County, t hreats of death have already come to the ears of Tom and Jerry, but 1 say to those would-be nerveless assas sins, that you can murder Tom and Jerry, but you can not obliterate the truth, lb w.ll remain to dutnj and haunt you. No man has ever walked the path to the discovory of truth, but with bleeding feet. If I a martyr for the truth of how the people have been deceived and deluded, let me be. Nothing do I hunger for like such a death. In the language of a one who walks before trod and man blameless, we say: <‘A bad man that modestiv covers his face is always pitied ; but one that brazenly tries to trample down the moral sense of a communi ty forfeits sympathy and invites, yea, compels crit cism.” Now, here comes‘‘Another District Heard From.” You don’t sign any name. That is about the only wis dom your article shows. If I did not possess any more brain than you de monstrate you possess I would write as fatherless of a name as you do. You are mistaken my nameless frieud when you say “Tom and Jerry has it iu for Mr. J. R. Carmichael.” Not a bit of it. 1 “have it in for” such misguided, deluded and muttsn- head ed ignoramuses as .you—such beguil ed willingly beguiled monsters. Yon .ask: "By what authority do we use the names of llr. Knowles and Dr. Htmphreys?” Dr. Humphreys nor Mr, Knowles at# responsible for th# use of their names, Tom and Jerry has stated facts out of which incideatially the names of the'gontlcmen are connnected. Have they , you or any one else a pattern right on the truth? I Dever made the facts. Your adorable boss Johnie made them and when 1 desire to use them to refute a statement made by vou or your kind I mean to do so. You ask: “Have you the court pa pers to prove the Knowles affair?” You mean about .7. R Carmichael pleading the statute of limitation to escape paying the Koowle’s claim? Suppose I should tell you that I have them? You are so incredulous w hen the recoru of your boss is at stake you would not accept my statement. Examine the iecord of the Superioi ur Court to wnich yon were cited. It you will not believe the Superior Court record 'and wish to impeach ii do so, and I will make you feel like ten cents with a hole in it before you get througn. SERIOUSLY! Ton an 1 Jerry is sick and tired of / u Lr.t peanuts. Trot out your “tater” ano let me see if I can peel him. Legal Advertisments. For Years Support. GEORGIA, Butts County.

On the borders of Butts and Henry from Locust Grove to Jenkins burg the crops are badly damaged and the ground was covtrtd with green leaves. However it is hoped chat the damage is not so extensive as was at first reported. Exery time the closet of your neigh bor is opened a do you strain your neck to peck, and then after wards strain your tongue talking a bout it? Do you ever stop to think that some ley a tragedy may take uj its abode iu vour own home? Oau’i you get it into,,your head that some day the tongue of may cu' you like a sharp sword and the whis pers of your neighbors be as vinegai ou your wounds? Misfortune and disgrace may have overtaken your neighbor, but it does not'become you io get on the housetops and shout it out to the world. You will not be called on to pay for nor answer for any oft he sinsof your neighbors. You have all you can attend to to pay hr your own discretions. Some day oi e near and dear to you may full, the prison walls may open to a sou or the scarlet letter of eternity blight a daughter. When a home is in mourn ing over a tragedy tha be6t thing j ou can do is to keep your mouth shut unless say something that will come as a rift in the clouds. Then agaiu.jou know you may be no better thau your neighbor. The only difference is that your neighbor was caught and you, up-to-date, have kept the sunlight away. Be charitable, my friend, for you know not the aay nor the hour when the blight will appear in your own sacred circle. — Fort Val i,ky Leader. VTe all know and respect and avoid frank persons.

Autry and* Erichsen, Tonsorial Parlors. Where can there be found for a town the size of Jackson a barber shop that, for excel lency in every respect, one which will surpass the parlors of Jno.

Besides they have Jim Blackburn and Lem Whitten with them aud they cau’t be beat as workmen, nor excelled for cleverness as men. The shop is kept c \ ship-shape condition.
