There is no reason why Cochran

Deese will not Run
For Representative
In a talk with J. T. Deese this
week as to whether he would ask
te represent Bleckley County in the
next General Assembly he said
that he had, for some time been
considering the race, for one of the
coynty offices as the office of repre
sentative kept him ’ away from
home too l«>n o 'i.i the busy period.
Whea asked whom he thought
would make a good representative
he replied.
‘I do not in any sense want to
make a choice for any one else,
hut as far as I am concerned, J
think that Professor - lie vning, is
the logical man for f position
for the following rca« >.is.’
‘‘lst He v.o/l cd for the new coun
ty like a trooper —All i i - /uni was
in it, and much of the . access is
due to his enthusiasm.”
“2nd A better reason is that he
.has been in close touch with the
work at the State I louse for two
sessions and he knows a great deal
aUmt it.’.’
“3rd He knows all of the old mem
bers and will stand a better show
of l<ei -, g seated than any one else.
4th It will interfere less with his
business thvn with any one else’s
as the session comes in his vaca
tion /
I hope he will run and I know
he will make a good conscientious
representative for I have been
closely associated witlijiim for two
summers and 1 know him to be in
corruptible.
NEW RESTAU
RANT OPENED
J.J.Fann has opened a restaurant in
one of,the Taylor & Mullis buildings
on Beech Street. John say.v lie is
fired waiting for people to die or get
killed before he can get a little fee.
He-says he had rather give the pe
ople something to eat, keep them a
live and well and derive a little rev
enue from that source for himself.
So he is hoping that he will get fre
quent and continued calls to attend
the living.
Of course some people have to
die that others may live, but being
a natural optomist John Fann
sayshe had rather eat, drink and he
merry with his friends, than to hold
an inquest over the body of a King.

HOW- ABOUT
THAT CORN
CLUB
We would like very much to get
an expression through the columns
of the Journal from some of our
old.club members. Do you want a
corn cluh this year? What do you
say about organizing? We should
begin now pretty soon, so we will
have plenty of time to organize,
formulate some rules, get familiar
with them, and canvas for prizes.
We would like to have the b.izt corn
club in Georgia, and with the pro
per effort we can. Wc lia/e learn
ed n<>l to get easily discouraged.
We :Oil,ember what a po.tr beg’lining
we had when we started to organize
the i<;her club, and finally succeed
ed in getting over two hundred
members, and I believe most of our
friends will agree that it was worth
something to the County. 'I lie
Journal stands ready at any time
to go right aftei it, and if we can
get the enthusiastic suppirt of those
who did so much for the cause hint
time, it will most assuredly he a
success, let us hear from you fellow
citizens. Do you want a corn club?
An Addition to the
Journal Force.
It seems that through some kind
of an oversight that we overlooked
tl.e fact that there was an import
ant addition to the Journal force
Monday, August 26th. Now as far
as being an advantage to the pliysi
cil force of the Journal, we'
have not yet been able to'
figure out that there lias been
any more galleys of type setup
hut our foreman figures out that lie
has to set up more (at night.) !
In fact that fine baby boy of Mr.
and Mrs. Mcßae is calculated to
make folks set up and take notice.
Notice.

count of Jewish holiday.
Rural Telepl icr.es.
\\ e are glad to notice that quite
a miinder of farmers of this county
have recently installed telephones in
their country homes with connection
with the Durham exchange. There
is nothing that adds more to the
comforts and pleasure of living in
the country ilian a telephone. It
brings to the home assurance id sale
tv fn in many evils ihat conic tuthe
country home. The telephone places
the home in instant connection with
medical aid; it commands instan
assisianec in case of accident,fire or
other calamity, and in case of h.isi
lHSi is of very great importance.
The farmer who has a telephone in
his hw ne saves fiis horses and
teams many needless trips. He, can
know when to come to market by
phoning arid finding out th .' price of
products on the day lie expects to go
to market. If the prices arc; low he
can wait until nixt day, or next
week.
In fact the advantage of the tele
phone in country homes are so
numerous that it is imposii le to
mention them in detail. We are
glad to know that our farmers are
waking up to their value, and we
predict that a« a few live, progres
sive farmers install these convenien
ces that others will follow.
At present we have several lines
running out of Durham.
We hope to see the day come when
the entire countv will he covered by
rural phone lines.

A Letter From
Mr. J. T. Deese
Editor Cochran Journal,-
I have heard that the mis-im
pression prevails in some soctio is
of the Bleckley county territ® ■y/
that everybody will henceforth
have to go to Cochran to vote, in
stead of being able to vote in his
own home precinct, in his own
militia district.
This belief is intircly without
foundation in fact.
When a new county is formed,
it is usually taken from more than
one county, and the militia districts
are usually slashed into all sorts of
shapes, without any regard to form
er district lines, and therefore no
new county is supposed by law, to
have any defined militia districts
until after it has'become organized
by the electioi and qualification of
its county officers, whereupon the
Ordinary of the new county is dir
ected to “cause the territory within
the new county to be laid off into
militia districts, as now provided
by law.”
It isonly because there are some
times parts of districts in the new
county territory which have, aftei
the division, no justice courthouse,
NUMBER 14
From R. H. Allen
Plain Dealings, La.
Cochran Journal.
A feiV days ago I read in a
Georgia paper that some inhuman
beings in the shape of man who
claimed the grand old state of
Georgia for a heme, stripped and
applied a buggy whip upon the
liody of a young woman in the
town of Cuthbert, Ga. If such is
the case it matters not what the
girl had done, the man or men who
would lie guilty of such an act are
thelowest down brutes in the shape
if man that ever breathed the pure
sweet air of Heaven, and ought t 6
lie driven from the soil of dear old
Georgia. lam ashamed., of my
native state, if she ftl own such
monsters to go unpunished.

or other established voting precii.et,
that the first election is ordered to
lie held at the place most likely to
have a voting precinct already est
ablished, viz., the proposed .county
site.
While only on® county will be
cut in lie making of Bleckley
count;!; and most of the militia dis
tricts remain undisturbed, yet, if
my memory is correct, the voting
precinct of Hartford district is left
in the old county, leaving the part
in the new county without a voting
precinct,
It is certainly no great hardship
to those who have seemed so eager
to get a new county, to have to
vote one time at the county site,
and they may he assured that they
will thereafter enjoy their consti
tutional privilege of voting at their
own home precinct.
The policy of all rightful eivil
government is to have the local civil

administration.
That is the chief reason we have
sought a new county, and that is
why the state of Georgia provides
militia districts with local justice
courts, and nearby voting places.
