Jackson Progress - Argus Published Every Friday. J. DOYLE JONES, Editor and Pub. Subscription $1 a Year Entered as second-class matter at the post office at Jackson, Ga. Telephone No. 160. Official Organ Butts County And the City of Jackson. Come on, now. You need the fair and the fair needs you. Macon may get rid of the sa loons but how about the blind ti gers? Wonder why somebody hasn’t mentioned Hal Stanley for gov ernor? A good many second-raters are being mentioned for governor these days. Now that politics are warming up, let’s hope the weather.will follow suit. More of the old fashioned hang ings would be a good antidote for the lynching evil. Macon is counting strong on securing the capital. It’s great to be an optimist. Macon can now turn to Tanlac or the grand old buttermilk for liquid refreshments. The Crnwfordville Advocate- Democrat had the misfortune to lose its plant by fire last week. Personally we’d be tickled to death to see the kaiser lead the assault on the French lines. What has become of the old fashioned election where fist fights were the main attraction? Congressman Wise is with the President in the German contro versy, and the people are with Wise. Public spirit is worth its weight in gold twenty-four hours in the day, three hundred sixtv-tive days in the year. Bud Blalock may be able to catch the moonshiners, but he’d probably get up but little speed in the gubernatorial marathon. .If discussion through the press will stop lynching, then the prac tice will stop, for nearly every body is airing a pet theory these days. Eaton ton has voted thirty thous and dollars worth of bonds for the erection of anew school build ing. This is something that Jack son must do within the near fu ture. There is a movement on foot to fix the salary of the judge of the city court of Griffin at $1,400. The salary has been raised to $2,- 000, effective Jan. 1, 1917, and a number of people are calling for the abolition of the court. The way of the city court is hard, judging from the number of courts that have been abolished recently. MUSTANG l or Sprains, Lameness, Sores, Cuts, Rheumatism Penetrates and Heals.

Here are ten lies which are of ten heard, according to the amia ble Mr. Ananias, of the Universe: Yes, we’re out, but we’ve just ordered a lot. I didn’t care anything about the money—it was the principle of the thing. I’d just liked to have been in his place. I’d have shown ’em. If I had that woman for a little while I’d teach her a few things. If I’d catch a kid of mine at a thing like that I’d blister him. If I just had a little money I know where I could go out and make a pile. I never would care to be rich; just comfortably fixed. My wife and I have never ex changed a cross word. If you don’t think it’s a good thing for you, I don’t want you to do it. I’ve never seen such weather before. Editor Fouche of McDonough thinks when Governor Harris dons that Confederate uniform and takes the field that there’ll be something doing in a political way. The tight-wad who reads his neighbor’s paper, thereby cheat ingthe editor out of a subscription, should remember that the English sparrow also lives without paying board. An increasing number of peo ple are in favor of four-year terms for goyernor and biennial sessions of the legislature. These reforms are sure to come in the near future. What we can’t figure out is how Editor Rloodworth of For syth can edit a newspaper, take a fling at law, write insurance, run the schools and look after Bessie Tift. Must be a versatile cuss. The scale of assessments fixed by the Butts county executive committee is lower than that in a majority of counties in the state. Spalding. Pike, Jasper, Ware, for example, all lead Butts in the tax put on candidates. The people of the state, as re flected by the newspapers, are pretty badly divided on the ques tion of four-year terms for coun ty officers. Some favor the new law, while 6thers oppose it. At any rate the law is worth a trial. "Sending your dollars to a northern mail order house is something like putting a nickel in the slot,” says the Brunswick News. "You get what comes out and vou can’t put it back or ex change it.” The moral of which is to trade at home.

A WORD FOR MOTHERS It is a grave mistake for mothers to neg lect their aches and pains and suffer in silence —this only leads to chronic sick ness and often shortens life.

It possesses in concentrated form the very elements to invigorate the blood, strengthen the tissues, nourish the nerves and build strength.
