Fifty days of the legislature
in one year is enough. An extra
session. Help!

your home community. It is easy
and worth while.
The sooner Uncle Sam cleans
up Mexico the better it will be

The Darien Gazette thinks the
people would abolish the
legislature if they had a vote.
Sure thing.
Says the Darien|Gazette: “We
we would like to see just one
Georgia legislature that wasn’t
a candidate for something. ”
If the cotton farmers of the
South can obtain from eight to
ten cents per pound for their cot
ton this fall there will be no
coming.
We’ve seen thirty cents with
a hole in it used as an illustration
of nothing, but that is not near
strong enough to express what
the recent legislature accomplish
ed.
Down in Emanuel county
some twenty-odd candidates have
already announced for office in
next year’s primary. Nothing
like being in on time, fellows.
Go to it.
Can it be that some of those
legislative patriots were thinking
of that per diem and mileage
when they forced an extra ses
sion on the state? The voters
will come to bat next vear and
then watch the fur fly.
A GREAT EDITION
When it comes to doing big
things in a big way one has to
hand it to the old reliable Macon
Telegraph, Georgia’s greatest
present day newspaper. The
edition of 120 pages issued last
week was a triumph of the mod
ern newspaper art. Every sec
tion, almost, of the state was
represented by write-up matter
and attractive illustrations. The
city of Jackson and Butts county
had a page in this issue.
The edition was a credit to the
Telegraph and to the entire state.
It was one of the most effective
advertisements for all Georgia
that could have been devised.
The Telegraph is not only com
ing; it has arrived. It is becom
ing as necessary th roughout this
section as the morning cup of
coffee. More strength to the
Telegraph and congratulations on
this high water mark of Georgia
journalism.
The people of the Gate City
are clamoring for a revival of
the old time, genuine Atlanta
spirit. The legislature must
have been putting it down.
The Butts county fair will be
the greatest event of the year
for the people of Jackson and
Butts county. Get ready to make
an exhibit and help to push the
fair along.
WILL IT PAY?
Consider these facts carefully
if you have not yet finished high
school but are thinking of quit
ting to “take a job:”
The average yearly income of
an educated man is $ 1,000
In 40 years he earns 40,000
The average yearly income of
an uneducated man is $ 450
In 40 years he earns 18,000
Then, $40,000 minus SIB,OOO
equals $22,000, the difference in
earnings of educated and unedu
cated men.
Suppose it will take you two
years, nine minths per year, to
complete your high school educa
tion, or 360 school days; then
$22,000 divided by 360 equals
over S6O per day your schooling
has been worth to you. Will it
pay you?—Berry School News.
SETTLE IT RIGHT
The legislature ought to submit
the prohibition issue to the peo
ple of Georgia for an expression
of opinion at the ballot box. The
Progress-Argus believes that pro
hibition would be overwhelming
ly ratified by the voters of this
state. Then the issue would be
settled for all time. Having had
a vote everybody would be satis
fied and accept the result.
Too much valuable time is was
ted by the legislature at each
session wrangling over the pro
hibition question. Scheming pol
iticians ride the issue for all it is
worth. Let’s take the prohibi
tion question out of politics. There
is but one way to do a thing and
that is the right way.
Let the people vote on this
measure. Then let the state set
tle down to peace, • progress and
prosperity.

The First Principle
of Good Health
One great medical authority de
clares that sluggish bowels are th
cause of more than half the ills that
afflict mankind. A constipated con
dition quickly affects the liver and
other organs, so that indigestion and
constipation are soon followed by bil
iousness, headaches, chronic bad
breath and a generally disarranged
condition of the system.
Foley Cathartic Tablets are an
ideal physic, for their action is whole
some and thoroughly cleansing, with
out griping, nausea or inconvenience.
They Invigorate and strengthen the
bowel action and have a good effect
on the stomach and liver.
►L. L. Levey, Green Bay, Wis.,
writes: “For a long time I suffered
from constipation and liver trouble.
Nothing seemed to help me. I finally
secured Foley Cathartic Tablets and
am pleased to state they have cured
me. They are the finest cathartic to
take I have ever used and their effect
la quick and sure,”

AGREE TO GIN THE FIRST
BALE OF SEASON FREE
Messrs. Kimbell & Kinard,
proprietors of the Co-Operative
Gin, Coal and Ice Company, who
have recently installed some of
the latest and most modern gin
machinery, state they will gin
the first bale of cotton brought
to Jackson absolutely free. This
enterprising firm makes this gen
erous offer for the purpose of
testing the new machinery and
also because of their interest in
the farmers of Butts county.
Take Out The Ashes
Uremia is due to the circulation in
the system of poison and waste pro
ducts that should be removed from the
blood by the kidneys. If the ashes
are not removed the fire dies and the
machinery stops. So with the waste
products of the system. Foley Kidney
pills help the kidneys remove the
waste matter that causes rheumatism,
aches and pains, stiff joints and sore
muscles. The Owl Pharmacy, adv
