BUTTS COUNTY PROGRESS Published Every Friday. ALFRED AKERMAN * Proprietor J. DOYLE JON E 8 - - - - Editor Subscription $1 a Year. Entered a* aecond-claaa matter, Novem ber H, l'.K)7, at the poatoffloe at Jacknon, Ga. Telephone No. 166. Jackson, Ga., Friday, Feb. 17, 1911. Pull for Jackson or pull out. What do you think about that new hotel? What do you think about that new school building Macon is still pursuing still chusing that capital. There is but one way to pull, pull together and forward Foolish question No. 7,613,- 254, what has become of the Jackson board of health? It will soon be time to take another census. When will Jackson know her population? The peach crop enjoys being saved. But this is one time it is going to have a close shave. The chautauqua is a splendid thing and Jackson must enter heart and soul into the movement. The Berry school at Rome has recently celebrated its ninth anni versary. The school is doing a good work. What do the people of Butts county think of holding a fair here this fall? Let us have an expression from them. Macon is making a hard effort to land the next meeting of the Confederate Veterans. Here’s luck to the Central City. Griffin may have as many corn clubs as she likes, if they like that brand over there. We can still beat them raising corn in the ear. Cities like individuals can get anything they go out after if they are willing to pay the price. How about that “hew hotel and school building? More attention is being paid to stock raising in Butts county than ever before in the history of the county. There is still room for improvement, however. It is to manufacturing enter prises that Jackson must look for her greatest growth in the future. With cheap power the city ought to go out. after a num ber of new industries. How about it? Bea positive force for good in your community. Bea booster, be an optomist., talk your town and county, advertise them and they will advertise you. Don’t hide your light under a bushel but get busy and puli. Jackson is today the best advertised town in the state. She has plenty of cheap power at her door and the opportunity is ripe for the greatest development she has ever known. How about some new enterprises? BUTTS COUNTY PROGRESS, JACKSON, GA., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1911. Butts county is solving the good roads problem, for which let us all give praise and thanks. There are problems for Jackson to meet and solve. There is no m >re urgent need than anew hotel and school building. Now that Georgia will get a new member of congress under the new apportionment bill, watch a lively scrap take place for the new member. One report has it that Atlanta wanted (he new congressman all for herself. There is work for every man, woman and child who wants to work. There is no place in our system of gover ment for the vagrant. The vagrant is usually a criminal. Make the vagrant get out, get busy or put him to work on the chaingang. The dispatches of a few days ago told of a plot to turn loose 100,000 boll weevils in Georgia and the Carolinas. The plan was told to Governor-elect Smith. No use of turning them loose, as they will reach here in plenty of time to play havoc, according to ihe present calculations. The college on wheels is a great thing. It brings useful and much needed information to the farmer’s very door. The train is meeting with favor throughout the entire state. If it had not rained the day the train visited Jackson a much larger crowd would have been present. The Tifton chamber of com merce has been investigating the matter and have reported that the Southern Express Company is overcharging its customers in Georgia from five and a half to fifty per cent. The secretary of t’ o Tifton board says that in :ome instances the overcharge amounts to one hundred per cent, and that there are many cases where the charges are prepaid and collections are made again. The Albany Herald thinks that the days of secrecy in public service in this country are num bered. The feeling is growing that the public has a right to know how its own business is being conducted and the temp tations of secrecy are too many and obvious to need comment on that score. The “open door” in all representative and official bodies, National, state, county or municipal, must be the watch word of the future.
