Mr. C. E. Bailey was arrested
last Wednesday and carried to

that it was likely that another
arrest would soon be made.
Mr. B. H. Tanner bought the
Butler & Jowers still and the tur

Capt. W. M. Denton brought
to our office this week some of

are finely flavored, and speak
well for what can be done in this
section in the way of growing
fine small fruits.
Dr. S. H. Smith, of Culloden,
Ga., was here prospecting, the

he lived.

A. H. Perking Charged With
Burglary.
4. few weeks ago, the postoffice
at Broxton was burglarized, and
the United States marshalls have
been quietly working on the mat
ter and yesterday one came to
Douglas and arrested Mr. A. H.
Perkins, charging him with this
offense. Perkins was carried to
Valdosta there he will be given a
hearing. Perkins friends do not
think that he is the guilty man
and think that he will come out
alright at the trial.
The night of the burglary,
Perkins went to Broxton and was
seen hiding around the town, but
he gives good reasons for his ac
tions. He claims to have heard
the people who did burglarize
the office talking, but says he did
not know what they were doing.

Nichols News Notes.
Speaking of the new county of
Nichols, I want to stop long
enough to say that some of our
people within the immediate ter
ritory ot the proposed new coun
ty as well as those adjacent
thereto thati.doynot know that
this county was once created ab
solutely. But such was the facts
in the case. By reference to the
act ot tha Georgia legislature of
1872 for the purpose of laying
out and creating a new county
out of parts of Appling, Coffee
and Ware to te called Nichols
county we find that it was identi
cally the same as for which the
measure was pending before the
general assembly in 1905-6. Hon.
John M. Lott, Sr., was in the
house from Coffee, Mr. Reddish,
froni Appling, Mr. Morton from
Ware and Capt. John C. Nichols,
of Pierce ivas in the Senate at
the same t me and the colleague
of M. Lo t in undertaking to
pilot this fill through the legis-
Tie friends of this meas
ure vAre ) ocular men before the
general assembly and the bill
therefore met but little or no
opposiion and when it reached
its fiial passage, went through
easyenough. But, J. M. Smith,
who was then governor of Geor
gia etoed the bill. The friends
of be bill were sufficiently strong
to >ass it over the governor’s
vet by a safe majority, had it
notbeen that the bill was passed
duing the last hours of the ses-!
sioi and there .was not sufficient!
tire left in which to cali it up
agiin, during that session. So
tb measure went down tempor
ally to be taken up again, but
viich on account of the old
nambers going out of office and
tereby disorganizing the forces
*as not called up again until the
jmmer of 1905. But very few
hanges have been made in the
wo bills. The idea is growing
n favor with the people of this
section as the days go by. It is
still the logical place for the
new county of Nichols. Don’t
forget this.

The death of Rev Robert Jones

Great Reforms for Georgia.
There is a lot of talk about
Hoke Smith as our next govern
or, and many who did not sup
port him are now saying that he
will make the best governor tha.
Georgia has ever had. The Way
cross Herald says: “We did not
support Mr. Smith for governor,
perhaps you heard of it, but we
have always contended that he
would make the state one of the
best governors that we have ever
had.’’ We believe as does broth
er Perham and we voted our con
victions and we still believe that
Hon. Hoke Smith will undertake
to carry out every reform that
he advocated and we think that
there were enough of the Geor
gia law-makers who were elected
on his platform, to enable him
to do a lot more than many think
that he will be able to do.
Reform is needed in Georgia,
and if Hoke Smith lays down his
magnificient law practice and de
votes himself to the affairs of
the state, there is not a man in
the state that would be worth
one half to the common people
of Georgia as he will.
We predict that those of us
who live a few years will see
great changes and improvements
in Georgia and we predict that
Hoke Smith will have as much
to do with these changes as any
man in the state. We are glaa
that we supported Hoke Smith.
Of late years Georgia has given
to the ministry some very talent
ed and,.successful preachers as
pastor, among them Lucien L.
Knight and Alex W. Bealer and
JulianS. Rodgers[and)Allen Fort,

have the money. It is but neces
sary to mention the fact that the
game thus played is gambling
and the boys are being raised up
to be gamblers. They play on the
school grounds, on the streets, in
private yards and some of the lit
