Official Organ Butts County
And the City of Jackson.
Every little road in Butts
county is good enough to be a Dix
ie highway.
The Macon Telegraph’s para
graphs shine like a June bug
they’re so bright.
What has become of the old
fashioned man who knew the
number of his watch?
Hope there’s no snipe feature
connected with that Jay Bird
Springs outing at Eastman.
“On to Richmond” is again
the cry. Here’s hoping the vets
have the time of their lives.
Thenew county fever is surg
ing through south Georgia like a
tornado. Never get enough boys?
Bet W. Trox Bankston shows
up at the press meeting in East
man in a palm beach. Whatca
bet?
Wonder if Enrico Caruso has
joined the Italian colors and is
warbling at the Austrians across
the Alps?
On the quiet the bankers say
that Savannah’s famous punch
has a regular Jess Willard wal
lop all right.
Since Editor Anderson has
been so busy with the Dixie high
way he seems to have neglected
little Benjamin.
See where the Georgia bank
ers are to cut out wine at their
future banquets. Not trying to
■water their stock, eh?
The Progress welcomes to its
list of exchanges The Walton Tri
bune, which is presided over by
Ernest Camp, one of the bright
est of Georgia’s editorial dingers.
When we go down to Eastman
want to hear from Editor Blood
worth on “Lost Opportunities or
Some Sweet Girl Grads. I’ve
Known.”
Would the sweet girl grad
uate by any other name be
as fragrant? Hey, Fellow
Bloodworth?-Butts Countv
Progress.
Maybe not, but since the
Constitution provides that no
person shall be compelled to
criminate himself, for the
time being, at least, we’ll ■
not venture an opinion.—
Monroe Advertiser.
A case of silence being golden.
Bloodworth is considered an au
thority on the s. g. g. and if he
can be induced to break his si
lence his observations and exper
iences will make interesting
reading.
It is a distinct honor to Butts
county and the city of Jackson
to have Mr. F. S. Etheridge head
4le Georgia Bankers Association.
His friends here and over the
state will extend cordial and sin
cere congratulations.
In view of our longer growing
seasons, numerous legume crops
especially fitted for hog feeding,
and the cheapness of our lands,
we have no hesitation in stating
that the South can produce hogs
at as low or lower cost than can
the Corn Belt, where the most of
the pork products consumed in
the South are now produced.—
The Progressive Farmer.
A reader asks, “What is nec
essary to make dairying profita
ble in the South?” The answer
is, home-grown feeds, good dairy
cows, and good dairymen. The
first is easy, the second may be
had at no great cost, and the
third come only through study of
what other dairymen have learn
ed and considerable experience
and much work. —Progressive
Farmer.
Good bye, teachers and
girls of Bessie Tift. Here’s
a cordial welcome, in ad
vance, for those of you who
come back in September.—
Monroe Advertiser.
Yet how cold and formal is this
farewell compared to the one
that took place that last night
behind the rose-scented bower
with only the moon looking on.
We suggest that those in
authority build a branch or
spur line from Jasper county
to the Dixie highway, and
then jump in and make this
county so attractive in all re
spects that travelers along
the new highway from the
north to the south will be
glad to sidetrack their cars
and come over to see us when
they reach the “switch.”
Monticello News.
All right, Penn, Jackson is the
nearest point to you on the Dixie
highway. Go ahead and build
your road to the Ocmulgee and
we’ll meet you with a good road
at the big dam. This is your
chance to connect with the new
highway. Get busy.

JUDGE R. T. DANIEL
Stricken at the post of duty in
the prime of life, the death of
Judge Robert T. Daniel caused
regret throughout the state aud
entire country. As judge of the
Flint circuit he came in close con
tact with the people, who recog
nized in him an able and fearless
champion of law and order. His
brilliant charges to the grand ju
ries of the several counties in
this circuit will not be soon for
gotten.
Through his connections with
secret orders Judge Daniel was
perhaps best known. He had
received the highest honors the
Red Men and Odd Fellows could
bestow and was at the time of
his death the grand sire of the
Odd Fellows of North America.
Those who know Judge Daniel
best believe that still greater
honors awaited him. The gov
ernorship of Georgia or a seat in
the national congress seemed al
most within his grasp.
This brilliant, talented, spot
less Georgian died too soon for
his country’s good. But the im
press of his character and the
example of his life as he lived it
day by day will be an inspiration
to those struggling for higher
things.
To Drive Out Malaria
And Build Up The System
Take the Old Standard GROVE’S
TASTELESS chill TONIC. You know
what you are taking, as the formula is
printed on every label, showing it is
Quinine and Iron in a tasteless form.
The Quinine drives out malaria, the
Iron builds up the system. 50 cents
GROWING PEANUTS
From Georgia: “Nearly all our
farmers here buy seed of peanuts
every year, and make no effort
to save their own seed. In fact
they know nothing about hand
ling the crop except for hog pas
ture. Asking them why they do
not save their seed, they say
they do not know how. Please
tell me how economically to plant,
fertilize, and harvest peanuts.
This will interest those who
wish to save their own seed and
plant for hogs.”
Peanuts of the large white Vir
ginia variety are commonly hull
ed for planting. The Spanish
nuts are often planted in the
hulls. The rows should be made
about two and a half feet apart
and the nuts dropped 15 inches a
part. Five hundred pounds an
acre of Thomas phosphate and 100
pounds of cottonseed meal, in
the absence of potash, may make
the nuts on your upland soil.
The Thomas phosphate will carry
lime enough for the peanuts.
Cultivation must of course be
clean. The nuts are lifted when
mature and shocked around stakes
about six feet high. They are
then picked out and shipped to
the cleaning factories. —The Pro
gressive Farmer.
