Get right behind that county fair and boost it along. The prohibitionists seem to have Tom Felder treed. How about that ice factory and new hotel for Jackson? The University of Georgia has conferred its first degree upon a woman. All of the candidates are run ning on a dry ticket, speaking of the weather. At any rate the Hon. John R. Cooper is advertising his law practice extensively. The first cotton bloom is a re minder that the fleecy staple will soon be on the market. The poor stand of cotton over the state is causing more concern than the whole crop of politicians. The entire state press is saying some nice things about Judge N. E. Harris, the gallant old war horse of Bibb. Joe Hill Hall says Tom Felder’s record is as pure as an icicle. As hot as the weather is said icicle is likely to melt. Griffin is making a war on the surface closets, which would be a good policy for Jackson to fol low this summer. The longer congress tinkers away in Washington the worse off the country will be. Why don’t congress quit and go home? Indian Springs is the logical center for a large number of con ventions. With a railroad and a new hotel in Jackson this would be a great thing for Butts county. It is stated that Solicitor John P. Ross of the Macon circuit will receive $25,000 in fees this year. And yet there are those who op pose the salary system for our officers. Next Wednesday is the date for the meeting of the Georgia legislature. For the next fifty days there will be something do ing with the politicians—and per haps little else except local bills. AS ADVERTISING MEDIUM Arthur Brisbane, who is said to be the highest paid newspaper man in the world and whose gen ius is everywhere recognized, understood tne truth of this state ment when he said: “The local newspaper in proportion to its circulation is, in my opinion, infinitely the most valuable advertis ing medium we have. The value of the councry newspa per is based largely upon the fact that the man who reads it looks upon it as a neighbor and a friend, a personal ac quaintance, and attaches to the printed statements and advertisements of the coun try newspaper far greater importance than the big city attaches to the statements and advertisements in the big city newspapers. Asa friend talking to another about a certain kind of goods can influence a friend more than a stranger, so a country newspaper, standing on a footing of friendshio with its readers, can talk to them about goods for sale or any other topic and impress upon them more strongly than the big metropolitan newspaper, which is really a stranger.” A TEXAS WONDER.

TOM FELDER AROUSES | IRE OF PROHIBITIONISTS i Governor Slaton’s Record j Above Criticism There j Atlanta, Ga., June 16.—The storm that is raging around the j head of Thomas S. Felder be cause of his alleged inconsisten cy on the prohibition question in connection with his race for the United States senate, has not in volved the other candidates in j the race. The W. C. T. U. and other pro hibition organizations are fight-. ing Mr. Felder because they say j his attitude is misleading. Hej fought the Georgia prohibition bill, and according to the pub lished statement of Mrs. T. E. Patterson, state president of the j W. C. T. U., “aligned himself: with the distillers and brewers j who have appropriated more than i $1,000,000 to defeat the success of prohibition in Ga.” Mrs. Patterson says that Feld er contradicts himself when he confesses his error in opposing; Georgia prohibition; and that he! now uses the same identical ar-1 guments against national prohi- j bition that he used seven years ago against the issue in the state. The attitude of Governor Sla ton, candidate for the U. S. sen ate, on the prohibition question, is well known and is not occa sioning criticism. While Gov ernor Slaton has been criticised for being a member of the Capi tal City club, which every gov ernor has been a member of, his official record shows that he has never blocked or fought any pro hibition movement. When he appointed the legislative commit tee of sixty to consider the Geor gia prohibition bill fifty-four of j those men were prohibitionists, jAs presiding officer he did not j parpicitate in the debate, but af -1 ter the bill was passed, his rulings were unanimously ccmmended.
