DOUGLAS WEEKLY BREEZE. James M. Freeman 4 Daughter, Proprietors J. M- Freeman, Editor. Entered as Second-Class M9.il Matter. SAT UR DAY, N OY T . 12th, 1903. Official Organ of County. The New York World is boom ing Cleveland lor president in 1904. <§> 3> <J> The Wilcox county court house is said to be a very fine one. For $50,000 it should be the best. Superior court will be held at Blackshear, in Fierce county, next week. • Several Douglas lawyers will go down. <s> <3> England has made application to Georgia for young men who will go to Africa and teach the natives how to make cotton. ❖ <£ That the New York World is opposed to Jlearst as a presidential candidate is not surprising. In business matters it does the same. <s> <S> <» Macon made a success of the State Fair, and the people were well pleased. Macon is a success ful town, and will have the Fair again next year. <?> <t- <v The clothing manufacturers and dealers of New ’Y ork are com plaining of slow business. The continued warm weather makes no sales for heavy clothing. <s> <s> It is said that Mark Hanna has refused to entangle himself wi f h the Roosevelt campaign. Ferhaps Booker. Washington would accept the chairmanship. ' ■s> ■$- <s> The majority of democratic con gressmen, thus far heard from, have expressed themselves in favor of Gorman for the presidential can didate, in 1904. 's><s><§> The old confederate veterans of Georgia are marching on Augusta, to hold their annual State re-union. The city has surrendered and the old boys are having a good time. <*> <§> <?' The Sunday laws will be enforc ed to the letter in Waycross. The grand jury has had every druggist in town before that body, and in j future nothing but drugs cun be purchased on the Sabbath. Some of the negroes who went from Ocilla to South America last spring have returned to the United States, and will soon be at their old homes in Irwin county. They are not inclined to try any other country. <?> <s> Manley Peacock who was shot over at Eastman last .Saturday by 11. G. Avcrett whose wife he had seduced and eloped with to Birm ingham, is dead and buried. Averett who was also shot by Peacock, before he had fired a single shot, seems to be recovering. <s> The B. <Si 15. having discontin ued one train over the A. A 15. from Brunswick to Irvvinville caus es more talk, and there are nu merous rumors in the air, as to how the B. & 15. will proceed. We are in the dark on that subject, but we hope some means may he brought out of chaos to build it to Doug’as. Parties wishing to enter the printing office at this season should be governed by the following rules, says an exchange: “Advance to the inner door and give tiiree 'dis tinct raps or kick the door down. “The devil will attend the alarm, you will give him your name, post office address and the number of years you have been owing the pa per. He will admit you, you ad- vance to the center of the room and address the editor with the follow ing countersign : “Extend the right hand about two feet from the body with the thumb and linger extend ed, the thumb and index finger clasping a sio bill which drops into the extended hand of the editor, at the same time saying : “Were you for me?” The editor will grasp at the hand and bill and say: “You bet" After giving him news con cerning your locality you will be permitted to retire with a receipt for an obligation properly dis charged.”—Ex The Grand Jury and the People- Two successive graud juries of Wilcox county, in the spring and fall terms of Wilcox superior court, recommended that the commission ers of that county build a new court house. It will be remember ed that there were two factions at that time, one of which wanted the court house at Rochelle, and the other wanted it built at Abbeville. The jury in the fall, we are told, voted on this subject of recommen dation when there were only eigh teen members present, being seven against and eleven in fftvor, but the minority claimed the oth er five members been present there would not have been any recom mendation, that “wire pulling fby malicious persons brought out the result.” Referring to this some weeks ago, we said : “Sometimes the recommenda tions of a grand jury do not ex press the sentiments 0/ the body, only show the shrewd wire, pulling of a few prompted by malice.’ For this reason the presentments of grand juries are often without Ef fect.” ‘ Thinking that The Breeze refer red to the Coffee county grand jury, and anxious to create an ill feeling toward this paper, tire Cof fee County Gazette grabbed the item as a sweet morsel and rolling it under its editorial tongue said : “The above shows what The Breeze thinks of the grand’- jury. Wonder what the grand jury thinks of The Breeze?” In the case under discussion by The Breeze, it does not care what the grand jury of Wilcox county thinks, for it is not supposed they even knew or cured for what we said. Perhaps it was natural for the editor of The Gazette to assume, as he did, that vvc referred to our own grand jury, as it was just after court, ! but it was also just after the tax collector of Wilcox county had been prevented by injunction, from collecting the court house tax, by the people, showing that the rec ommendation of the gran-d jury, eleven against seven, with five ab sent, did not express the sentiment of that body, nor meet the views of the people. They (the people) fought the collection of the taxes, but have lost, and the people must pay ,$50,000 for a court house rec ommended by two grand juries and built by order of the county com missioners. The editor of The Gazette is a very shrewd gentleman, still his desire to harm a contemporary al lows his inquisitiveness to get the best of him. For his benefit »ve may state that the Supreme court has turned down the injunction of the people, and the tax collector will proceed to collect the heaviest tax ever levied in any county in Georgia. The Southern Book Publishing Co., fought for uniform school books and we are in favor of the contract to supply those books be awarded them, Whenever you leave an order for Job Printing at this office you may expect satisfaction or your money back or the work done over. Prices will be right, too. The Macon Telegraph and the Sa vannah Press, two excellent papers, seem to think the democratic vic tory in New \ ork last week points to the nomination of Grover Cleve land- A young mhn connected with the Gazette from the Waycfoss last Wednesday ! night and reported that he saw nothing down there but a seventeen loot snake. It must have been a horrid brand that John Greer was furnishing to visitors of the craft. A certain young man in town says he w.ll see his best girl next Christmas and expects to ask her an important question. If she answers “Yes," we are to furnish dinner for the two and the young man is to give the editor of this paper .150.00. That’s the contract, signed sealed and delivered, and we’re writing to that girl. Sho! Sheriff Safe. GEORGIA—Coffee County.
