Mr. Editor: —ln reading your ed itorial on the Senatorshipinyour last weeks issue I wish to endorse your views in their entirety. We want a man who is wholly inde pendent of the ring Jthat dominates the Jackßon City Government, the ring that has made such strennous ef forts to control our County politics. Such a man I deem Judge F. Z. Cur ry to be. He has proven himself to be a ring “buster." He haß fought his way through more cursing and abuse, and came out with less dam age than any man that ever ran a foui of the political ring in Jackson. Judge Curry is a man who will make himself seen, heard, and felt in the Georgia Senate; A man of ability, and the courage of his convictions, The man who is today waging to a finish the battle of the tax pavers of thy city of Jackson, the man whom the county needs and for whom the people will rise up and vote to the extent that the old ring will not dare to raise it’s hydra head again for many years to come. A Voter. Around No. 2. Fodder pulling it mostly the order of the day. Cotton is opening very fast and it won’t be very long before the wool hat boys will have to bendthir backs, and I think there will be a fairly good crop made after all.

ANOTHER ENDORSEMENT OF JUD6E F. Z, CURRY Mr. Editor I was yery much interested in an article of your last issue in regard to the general make up of our next Senator. You are right in saying that we want a person to represent us that does more than merely hold down a chair Indeed we have had e nongh of that kind. We want a man of back bone and nerve, with some good horse eenae and executive abil ity. A roan who knows the wants of our people, and with enough moral courage to stand for their rights. A man who will not fight a measure with all of his might and when he sees that his crowd are helplessly defeated then for the sake of popularity, vote for the measure he so bitterly fought. A man like that is very dangerous indeed. Neither side can trust him, A person should always act in such a way that he could give a reason for said acts, especially when he is acting for the public. But when a person is on both sideß of a question, I dont see how he could give a satisfactory reason for so doing. We need a man who has convictions and courage e nougb to 6tand by them or resign aDd come home. It is very likely that some import ant matters for the next few years will come before the legislature. The rail roads, truet and liquor crowds are goiug to make a very desperate effort to prevent the reform sentiment to maintain itself and to inact other re form measures into law and as it is Butts County’s time to elect the Sen ator for the 26bh Senatorial district, as you rightly say let’s hold up the high standard that we hare hereto fore maintained. Let’s put a roan there ao when an important measure comes before it’s members, his voice as well as voce will be either for er against it. Get on the right side and stay there, though you go down in defeat. Be right and stay right .though you be alone. Dont strangle it in birth and when your rough hand* fail to crush it’s life out then foster it as though you were it’s father. Let s elect a man who will strike evils in all its forms, high or low, popular or unpopular, but always for the peoples rights, although in ad vocatingthem you are againßt the rich and high. One who will strike the monied interest and the trust anc monopolies when the people are op pressed by them. I dont think we have a man who will more fitly fill this position than Tom and Jerry. He hae some expe rience along thia line and waa equa > to the test. A Votes Fodder Pulling Time. 1 After a few weeks of rest we are new busy pulling fodder. vYhile It Is hot !n the heat of the day etili there Is s slitting of autumn in ike atmosphere that telle ue that the time for the ripe nutte to glisten in the glow is nigh. The ’potsom track ie seen by the side of the branch, and •he time is close at hand when tht huntera horn will be heard on th. hi 1 in sear< h of the nocturnal We are truly glad that the time has come when rural life is a pleasure instead of a burden. The tide has turned from the city to the country. There ia a sweet song in every wblp porwlll. There ia music in the woods and there gladness in the hills, then is a smile on evejy face there it laughter in inocent childhood, and hospitality in every home, and in the last month we have been full perta kers of it. Oar first anting was at the home of our friend Lewis Atkin son this distinguished .family has al ways been noted for their fine lands fine crops and fine watermelons. Af ter spending a few hours UDder th* shade of the majestic oaks playing marbles we partook of a dinner of which every thing known to our con genial South land was on the table. We then went to tuasahaw creek. We canght ail the fish we was looking for then returning to the bouse and after onother game of marbles and tanking up on watermelons and lemonade and when the shadows of night began to fall and the hour had come to take leave of our hoet his good lady gv* us a parting salute with a dish of fryed chicken that was suggestive that the genuine Plymouth Rock was on the hill.
