Sixth.
The time is nearly up. Have
you registered?
Are you in favor of anew ho
tel and if not, why not?
Covington is to have anew
$25,000 hotel. Why not Jackson?
Sny anew hotel and say it
plain. The city needs it. Every
body admits it. Then how much
will you subscribe? Lets get:
down to a working basis.
How long before the people
pull together and decide to build
that new hotel? What is the use
in waiting? It is coming sooner
or later and t he sooner the better.
After the action of the state
executive committee on April 4,
there will be some interesting
political developments that wil
make the boys sit up and take
notice.
Butts csunty roads will com
pare favorably with any in the
state. The chain gang has done
good work in the past few years
and the people want to see more
of this good work.
Why is it that the people of
Jackson do not get together and
decide to secure some new man
ufacturing plants? Everybody
who is interested in the town
knows we need them.
It is to be sincerely hoped that
Macon will be anle to secure the
necessary capital to insure navi
gation on the Ocmulgee. It is a
far-reaching step and one that
will benefit all Middle Georgia.
Tom Watson is hitting the
Frank case some hard .jolts.
Whether one agrees with him or
not, there is no question but that
Watson is doing a great service
in hitting sham and hypocrisy in
high places.
The towns ail around Jackson
are securing new enterprises.
None of them are so fortunate in
the matter of cheap electric pow
er. There is nothing keeping
Jackson back but indifference.
Where do you stand?
Butts county has made greater
strides in road building since the
convicts were put on the public
roads than at any other time in
her history. The people appre
ciate this service and want the
convicts to remain where they
are.
Butts county is going to have
more than a hundred boys in her
corn club this year. That will
mean big things.
Practically all the country
newspapers are a unit in con
demning the manner in which
the Phagan case has been han
dled recently. If anew trial is
granted Frank, they want to see
it come through the courts and j
not through the public.
The Tongue of Scandal.
A scandal monger has come to
grief in Georgia; has gone to the
penitentiary, at least has been
sentenced there for twelve
months. And justly so. This
young man, with his glib tongue,
went about his community utter
ing untruths about a young wom
an. The girl’s father sought his
indictment and punishment.
The case came up in Gwinnett
county. Readers of The Chronicle
will recall it, it having been giv
en in the news columns at that
time. An extract from the tel
egram under an Athens, Ga,,
date, is;
“Scandal and careless talk by
men about women and by women
about other women will be mate
rially lessened in Georgia if there
are many cases in many counties
like the one tried in the adjacent
county of Gwinnett this week,
when Luther Terry, a white boy,
was sent to the chaingang for
twelve months, without a chance
to pay a tine, for defaming the
good name of a girl who had at
her father’s command instructed
him to cease paying attentions to
her. The tales he told persistent
ly were damaging and in court
proven untrue. This is the first
case of the kind that lawyers of
this section recall. The act was
passed in 1909.”
Splendid! Of late days men —
especially young nien—are be
coming too quick of tongue, too
free of speech, and too swift of
gab in speaking in detriment of
young women. This is true in
Augusta as it is true in other
communities of which we know.
There was the time in the
South—and it was an effective
way, even if in law irregular —
when sons, brothers and fathers,
with a cowhide, met this kind of
scandal monging with lashes and
slashes across the face, head and
body.
The chaingang sentence of 12
months will have its influence,
for by fear of the law, the as
sailant of woman’s fair name
must be checked, in that he has
little of honor and little of pride
to which to appeal or which to
hurt or harm or shock.
We want to thank the Gwin
nett father, the Gwinnett judge,
the Gwinnett solicitor and the
Gwinnett jury in this case. We
want to reprint the news story,
and we want ali the papers in
the state to print it that that the
scandal mongers may read it and
ponder it. and that they may
know that their insinuations and
falsehoods will land them in jail
with “stripes across their backs
and shackles on their feet.”
It is high time that it be made
A TEXAS WONDER.

bladder troubles, dissolves gravel,

rheumatism, and all irregularities of the

absolutely plain that the good
name of a good woman shall not
be at the mercy of the sneer, the
jest and the lie of the fool or the
knaye. The Gwinnett court has
started the work. The peniten
tiary is big enough to hold all of
them. Let the law officers pro
ceed. We c.an well afford to fol
low Gwinnett in this. In every
case of the kind the law must be
mercilessly applied, however hard
it may be for young w omen and
her relatives to encounter the
court ordeal necessary thereto.
