Given a prize to the Boys Corn Club yet? Plant some corn and then some more corn. There are also many Easter bonnet bills in the ring. Our hat’s in the air to every in religion and politics. If Wilson had not tied on to Bryan we would think a lot more of him. Joe Hill Hall will not let the gubernatorial campaign lag for the lack of interest. Bea booster. Don’t knock Butts county, especially if you get your living here. Batts county is all right, the plaintive howl of some of her knockers to the contrary not withstanding. The Republicans are no doubt laughing up their sleeves to see Georgia scrapping over Under wood and Wilson. For the very reason that The Progress is always and eternally boosting Jackson is why we want to see the town cleaned up. It is a safe bet that Jackson will have another railroad with in the next few months. There is something on foot this time that spells success. "Monticello has contracted for power from the Central Georgia Power Company, completing the list of Middle Georgia towns that use current from the Oc mulgee power plant Oar old friends, four year terms for county officers and the abolishing of the office of county treasurer, are being vigorously paraded through the columns of the weekly exchanges. Jf Woodrow Wilson is as clean as some of his partisans paint him. he must be absolutely “fresh.” Underwood has borne the brunt of a hundred battles aid is a natural leader. With corn over a dollar a bush-] el the good sense of the farmers ought to assert itself. The right thing to do is to plant plen ty of corn and other foodstuffs and let cotton be hanged. N )\v that the date of the coun ty primary has been changed the candidates will have an extra week in which to court the vo ters. This should insure a good vote for President. Why not a poultry show for Butts county this fall? The poultry business is receiving a lot of attention here and this county has some fine chickens. A show would be a good thing. According to the present law all candidates must file their campaign expenses with the Clerk of the Superior Court with in twenty days after the election. Butts county candidates will do well to bear this in mind. Yes. Matilda, we will support the Democratic nominee for President whether it be Under wood, Wilson, Clark or Harmon. But the Democratic South that has been led around by the nose since the civil war ought to as sert itself and have a candidate of its own. A joint deo at e between Thomas E. Watson and S. G. McLendon, candidate for the United States senate, is an inter esting possibility of the summer campaign. Watson favors a tar iff for revenue only, while Mc- Lendon stands for a protective tariff for Georgia. Everybody has an opportunity of helping the Boys Corn Club. It is just as important to bank ers and merchants that our far mers pursue proper methods of agriculture as it is to the farmers themselves. Jackson is bound up heart and soul in the agri cultural interests of the surround ing country. In the name of common decen cy those Atlanta newspapers ought to cut out scrapping over prospective candidates for pres ident. After the nomination they will be worked up to such a rage that they will find difficul ty in supporting the nominee. All of those mentioned are good men so far as we know and we intend to support the Democra tic nominee whoever he be. A National Searchlight r THE SENIOR PARTNER The little boy of one of the firm’s traveling men was critically ill. The distracted mother begged that her husband be notified. A Long Distance Bell Telephone call located him, but he had gone to a neighboring town to sell goods. Would the Telephone people reach him? The Telephone people would try. They found him and he started for home at once. The Universal Bell Telephone System is a national search light. It seeks the distant person for you and locates him if it is possible. ®By the way, have you a Bell Telephone? SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY BUTTS COUNI Y PROGRESS. THE DEMOCRACY OF DEATH. In the Democracy of death, all things are at least equal. There is no rank nor preoga tive in the republic of the grave. At this fatal threshold the phil osopher ceases to be wise and the songs of the poet are silent. Dives relinquishes his riches and Lazarus his rags. The rich man is as poor as the poorest and the poor man as rich as the richest. The creditor loses his usury, and the debtor is acquit ted of his obligation. There the proud man surrenders his digni ty, and the politician his honors, the worlding his pleasures, and the invalid needs no physician,' and the laborer rests from his unrequited toil. Here at last is nature’s final equity. The wrongs of time are redressed, injustice is explained and the irony of fate is refuted, the un equal displeasures and opportu nities which makes life so cruel and inexplicable a tragedy pass es in the realm of death. The strongest there have no suprem acy and the weakest need no defense.—John J. Ingalls.
