It was an exciting race at any rate. Has Jackson lost track of the new hotel? Are you doing any boosting these days? Are you doing anything to push Jackson forward? Savannah is soon to vote on commission government. About time for the next move in that railroad for Jackson. Now that the election is over get busy for your town and coun ty. Jackson’s express service is a relic of another age. Does it please you? What do you think of Jackson’s express service? Are you satis fied with it? The campaign is over but you can still subscribe a dollar to the country editor. From all reports there is being a big grain crop planted in Butts county this fall. The public school system has reduced illiteracy three per cent in the last ten years. Now that the presidential elec tion is over, the people must still ballot on J. P. candidates. Jackson needs more manufac turing enterprises, more and big ger payrolls. Get the idea? Atlanta seems to be badly gov erned. At least there are plenty of charges of graft up there. Jackson has the making of a splendid manufacturing center. All that is needed is the pull-to gether spirit. The Butts county boys corn club members are preparing to make a good showing at the At lanta Corn Show Thanksgiving. All the news all the time. This is The Progress’ slogan. It pleas es the people mighty well, as ev idenced by the paper’s growing business. Butts county has built more good roads in the past two years than in any previous ten years. The chaingang is responsible for Butts county's good roads. FIVE YEARS OF GROWTH. The Butts County Progress has just completed its fifth year un der the present management. For the past four years the pres ent editor has been in charge. During this period the paper has enjoyed a steady and sub stantial growth and is recognized ! today as one of the cleanest, most reliable Democratic week lies in the State. This growth has been due to the people’s con fidence in the paper’s honesty of purpose and policy of fair deal ings. For this expression of con fidence the management of the paper is sincerely thankful. The Progress is not given to boasting. But it naturally makes one feel good to have hundreds of the best citizens of the county tell you that the paper is doing a good work throughout the en tire county. During the coming year we shall work hard to give the peo ple a clean, honest, newsy and wholesome paper. JAMES FRANKLIN CARMICHAEL Jehovah calls, my child come home And on this earth no longer roam, Mansions prepared for thee above Enter, you will not wish to rove Since treasures here are given in love. Fear not, no sorrow is in heaven Redeeming love this joy has given And offers it to all who trust. None are refused, Jesus is just Knows all who lean on him alone, Look but to Christ; allegiance own, In Him we live, on Him was laid Now all our sins, thus peace was made. Crucified with Him, we shall rise And meet our Lord, ascend the skies. Redeemed from death by blood of Lamb My sins forgiven, I bear Christ’s name I am my Lord’s and He is mine. Children and heirs by grace divine Hosannas sing since He was slain And redeemed us from woe and pain Enthroned on high, His praise we sing Lo, Jesus reigns, He is our King!

PLOW HANOLES MAKES TART REPLY TO UNCLE JERRY In your last issue Uncle Jerry said some good things in regard to young men saving their earn ings. It is a notorious fact that we all spend too lavishly. I re peat he said some good things but he left some things unsaid. Please allow me to say them. In every community there are men who started in life poor who are now rich and at the same time you will find one thousand persons who would have been better off if this one had not lived in the community. Uncle Jerry told how they saved their monev, but he didn’t tell how they all made it. It is a very easy matter for anybody to get rich if he will make up his mind to be mean enough. There are men in our county who would go behind closed doors tonight at 7 o’clock and hatch up a scheme to hog the widow and orphan’s cotton at 3 cents per pound, and then stalk into church at 8 o’clock and lead a prayer meeting. Uncle Jerry did you not know that right here in Butts county up to a very recent date that one or two men for the last 15 years has controlled every bale of cot ton that has been sold from Ju liette to Stockbridge on the Southern railroad? And if this thing is ever attempted again somebody will find themselves indicted in the United States court. John D. Rockefeller star ted in life a poor boy, but a year or so ago he was fined $29,000,- 000 for violating the laws of his BUTTS COUNTY PROGRESS. PAMPHLETS FOR GEORGIA FARMERS SENATOR HOKE SMITH HAS AR RANGED TO SUPPLY AGRICUL TURAL BULLETINS TO HIS CONSTITUENTS. Georgia Statesman Is Doing All He Can to Put Farmers’ .Bulletins Where They Will Do Most Good. Washington, D. C., September.—Com paratively few persons know of the vast fund of information to be found in the Farmers' Bulletins issued by the Department of Agriculture. Yet there is scarcely a farmer, no matter how progressive he may be, who would not get new ideas and new in spiration by reading these Bulletins and other publications of the Depart ment. These little pamphlets cover near ly four hundred subjects and are the results of experiments and practical operations on farms in all parts of the country. The Department care fully watches all sections and studies all the various conditions of soil and climate. It has made a wonderfully successful fight against the Mexican 801 l Weevil and recently issued a new edition of the pamphlet on the 801 l Weevil. . Senator Hoke Smith got busy and obtained from the Sena tors in many of the Northern and Western States their quota of these pamphlets to be used in addition to his own ih Georgia, where the 801 l Weevil Is expected to appear in the near future. The Weevil will cost the farmers millions of dollars and the sooner they prepare for the fight the less they will lose. Senator Smith wants the farmers to send for these Bulletins and study them. They consist of 200 pages and are fully Illustrated. The Senator is doing all he can to put the various kinds of Farmers’ Bulletins where they will do the most good. A postal card addressed to him will bring a Farmers’ Bulletin on al most any subject. Take poultry, for instance. There are several bulletins on that subject. There are several on corn raising and seed selection, several on hog raising, several on the dairy and but ter making, and others on gardening, household economics, renovation of wornout soils, fertilizers, and hun dreds of other subjects. As many as five or six Bulletins can be sent to one person. The sup ply is not Unlimited and only those of real interest should be requested. In sending for them the number of the Bulletin should be given. The bulletins entitled “Experiment Station Work’’ give briefly the results of experiments performed by the State experiment stations. Below is the list: 22. The Feeding of Farm Animals. 28. Weeds: And I§f>w to Kill Them. 34. Meats: Composition and Cooking. 35. Potato Culture. 36. Cotton Seed and Its Products. 44. Commercial Fertilizers. IS- The .Manuring af Cotton, (Continued on page three) country. He has appealed the case from one court to another and is still out of the chaingang. There are thousands of men all over this country who started in life poor but are now rich and at the same time if they had their deserts they would have on stripes of ignomy and be swinging a pick and shovel on the public roads. You may search the scriptures from Genesis to Revelation and you can’t find any promises to the rich. But there is a lot of condemnation for them. Here are some of them. Now listen: “‘Go to now ye rich men. Weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted and your garments motheaten.” But listen to what promises are made to the poor: “Listen you and show John those things which you do hear and see. The blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them.” Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Plow Handles.
