Most Auspiciously
ENTHUSIASM IS EVIDENT
Mr. J. H. Carmichael, Pres
ident Board of Education
Makes Plea For Better
Educational Facilities
The fall term of the Jackson
public schools began Monday un
der the most favorable conditions
and all indications point to a b n
ner year. More enthusiasm was
evident than has been witnessed i
before in years, showing that the
citizens of the community are I
thoroughly awake on the question j
of education.
A large number of natrons and
friends of the school were pres-
J. C. JONES—THE MAN
Jess Jones is winner. He lias always been a winner. It has come to
be a habit with him. He has been a winner since he, left an orphan by the
fortune of war, worked as a wage hand at a salary of $6.00 per month. He had
as fierce a struggle with poverty as was ever fought, but he has risen from one
success to another until today he is one of Hutts co inty’s most successful busi
ness men. But he is the same Jess Jones still, one of the common people, know
ing their struggles, their tria's, their joys, their sweets and their sorrows.
Rising himself from a wage earner to a man of atlairs, Jess Jones appreci
ates the position of the poor man, the common man, the everyday man. He
is their friend. He showed that in the dark days of 1914 and 1915 when the
Kuropean war knocked the bottom out of the cotton market and panic and
disaster faced the country and particularly the cotton farmer. In 1914, when
cotton was 6 and 7 cents a |>ound, we find his firm giving, 10 CENTS. In 1916
when the fleecy staple was 8 and Scents a pound we find Mr. Jones advertising
in the public prints that he would pay IS CENTS for cotton That was patriot
ism of a fine order. That was love for a man’s fellow countrymen that counts.
Jess Jones is a broad-minded, public-spirited, far-seeing, patriotic citizen.
He believes in education, a thing that was denied him when the South, crush
ed and bleeding, was eating crusts. Rut his fund of common, practical sense
stamps him as a leader. He believes in giving every Anglo-Saxon child in
Butts oounty a thorough education, preparing them for the struggle of life and
twentieth century competition.
Jess Jones made Jackson one of the best Alderman that ever served thecity.
A few years back when the city’s finances were in wretched condition and the
town didn’t have the credit to buy an ounce of coal, Jess Jones was elected as
an Alderman. He was made chairman of the Finance Committee and his busi
ness acumen helped build up the city’s credit, he helped to make a contract for
cheap electric power, helped to reduce the cost of lights and power to a mini
mum. He didn’t do all of these things by himself, but he HELPED. And
that was SERVICE.
Jess Jones is a com in unity builder, a town aud'county booster. He has
never refused to help in'any worthy movement meant for a Greater Jackson
and a Greater Butts County. He does not glorify the dollar above PATRIOT
IBM, nor pelf above the COMMON WEAL. He has not lived to himself sel
fishly, but has opened his heart and his purse and has worked, boosted, pull
ed, plead for the best things in life for his town and county. His reward is the
affectionate regard of his fellow citizens, and £ better, cleaner, higher order of
things worth while.
He believes in AngWeßaxon supremacy, that this is a white man’s coun
try and that our own while people are capable of working out their own desti
ny in their own way. Had you ever thought of that?
Jess Jones is a golden hearted gentleman. He never betrayed a public
trust or turned bis back on a friend. As true as the needle to the North Star,
•8 true is Jess Jones to his friends and the cause of Justice, Liberty, Truth and
Right. He is incapable by nature of doing little, spiteful, dirty, jealous things.
He is a man the people of Butts county can trust implicitly. Their interests
will be safe in his hands. You always know where to find Jess Jones. As he
has worked at home in season and out of season, so will he work in the Legis
lature for everything that is best for Butts county and her citizens.
A vote for this big hearted, plain, practical, progressive business man is a
vote for Butts county and her best interests.
It was P. T. Barnum of circus fame, that said the American people love to
be humbugged. Some i>olitieinns pitch their campaigns on that basis. It
was honest old Abe Lincoln that said you cannot FOOL ALLthe people ALL
THE TIME. Though the waters have been muddy, though the issues have
oeen oloudv, though strife has been aroused, though passion and prejudice has
been appealed to, though classes have been arrayed against classes, the sun
light is breaking through. The people are learning the TRUTH and false is
sues and fake platforms are becoming known.
When you come to vote apply the deadly parallel. Put the candidates in
the crucible, and s,s? who will come out J 4 karat gold. Weigh them in
the balance; study their pa.t lives; weigh their public service: analyze their
characters; hold their lives as they have lived them among you up to the light;
apply the great white light of pitiless publicity to their acts and doings.
Remember, Mr. Voter, that your ballot isn't a selfish thing. It is Butts
county that you are voting for: it is the people’s welfare that is at stake.
Vote for a man that is tried and true, that is all gold, that is the soul of
honor, principle, character. ,
Jess Jones is one of Nature’s noblemen.
He stands for something. Read his platform:

1. I.ft the Prohibition law stand as itas. Rigid enforcement of this and all other laws.

tion was said by Rev. I. H. Mil
ler of the Presbyterian church.
,Pi of. W. P. Martin made a talk
outlining the work for the com
ing year. Mr. J. H. Carmichael,
p-esident of the Board of Educa
tion, made an enthusiastic ad
dress, making a plea for a united
support for the town’s educa
tional interests. He pointed out
that Jackson’s greatest need is a
new and modern school building.
This must come before the city
can attain its proper sphere in
the educational world, said Mr.
Carmichael.
The enrollment the first day
was large, totaling 417. Others
will enter during the next few
days and anew record of atten
dance is expected this session.
The enrollment is fifty more than
for the same time last year.
The senior class has 35 mem
bers, a record for Jackson and
without doubt one of the largest
in the state outside of a boarding
school.
