The advertised article will bear
inspection. Can you say as much
for the product that is never ad
vertised?
This is one year everybody
should forget about politics and
put in a good year’s work for
home enterprises.
The cotton crop of Butts county
last year was one of the largest
ever grown. This year let the
grain crop be a record one.—
Is the day of the city court j
numbered? Butts and Monroe
abolished their intermediate
courts and Spalding is likely to
follow suit.

Hundreds of people are blam
ing their misfortunes on the Eu
ropean war who were already
down and out, sagely remarks
the Griffin News.
The Progress insists that this
county should have a flour mill.
The sooner it is built the better.
This section must begin to raise
its wheat and make its own flour.
The Spalding county grand jury
recommended a bond issue of
$50,000 for public improvements.
Bonds are being voted by a num
ber of cities and counties at this
time.
Judge Charles L. Bartlett has
been mentioned for judge of the
new federal court which it is pro
posed to establish in south Geor
gia. He would have strong sup
port should he seek the place.
The Macon News wants to see i
Tom Watson write a history of
Georgia. He is qualified to turn
out; a history tha t would be a
credit to the state and it is hoped
that Mr. W r atson can be induced
to attempt the work.
After a lot of talk and wind
jamming, during which time the
South will be vilified by the nor
thern press, the Monticello lynch
ing will be entirely forgotten and
there will probably be no indict
ments at all. This is the history
of such eases.
“The marry a Georgia girl”
slogan is carrying the patronize
home-enterprises campaign to a
logical and happy solution. If
Editor Bloodworth of The Mon
roe Advertiser could only be in
duced to see it in this light.
The Anderson boys are making
The Macon Telegraph a better
paper than formerly, if possible.
“The Old Reliable” is one of the
best papers in the South, print
ing an abundance of live, clean,
constructive state news.
The Griffin News and Sun is
now forty-four years old. It is
among the best papers in the
state and the friends of Editor
R. L. Duke wish him and the
bright paper he edits many more
years of success and usefulness.
The city court of Griffin is in
danger. The recent grand jury
recommended that the people vote
on whether the court should be
continued. The city court of
Griffin is one of the oldest in the
state but when the people vote on
the matter, good bye court.
The Macon Telegraph is rap
ping certain methods of the bank
ruptcy courts. The bankruptcy
law has had its day and probably
served a good purpose once, but
there are a lot of people who will
tell you the law ought to be re
pealed.
A lynching is an unfortunate
outbreak sf lawlessness and as
likely to happen in one state as
another. The northern press
should remember those who live
in glass houses should be careful
about casting stones.—Butts

TRY IT! SUBSTITUTE
FOR NASTY CALOMEL
Starts your liver without
making you sick and it
cannot salivate
Every druggist in town—your
druggist and everybody’s drug
gist has noticed a great falling
off in the sale of calomel. They
all give the same reason. Dod
son’s Liver Tone is taking its
place.
“Calomel is dangerous and peo
ple know it, while Dodson’s Liv
er Tone is perfectly safe and
gives better results,” said a
prominent local druggist. Dod
son’s Liver Tone is personally
guaranteed by every druggist
who sells it, A large bottle costs
50 cents, and if it fails to give
easy relief in every case of liver
sluggishness and constipation
you have only to ask for your
money back.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is a pleas
ant-tasting, purely vegetable
remedy, harmless to both chil
dren and adults. Take a spoon
ful at night and wake up feeling
fine; no biliousness, sick head
ache, acid stomach or constipated
bowels. It doesn’t gripe or
cause inconvenience all the next
day like violent calomel. Take a
dose of calomel today and tomor
row you will feel weak, sick and
nauseated. Don’t lose a day’s
work! Take Dodson’s Liver
Tone instead and feel fine, full
of vigor and ambition, ad
