DOUGLAS WEEKLY BREEZE. James M. Freeman & Daughter, Proprietors J. M- Freeman, Editor. Entered as Second-Class Mail Matter. SATURDAY, NOV. 21st, 1903. Official Organ of County. Twelve rages. In Appling county Dr. 1 . L. ,/eaver is out for county treasurer. <S> <s> Muscogee has the next lowest tax rate of any county in Georgia. “S' <B> The next re-union of the Con federate veterans of Georgia will be held at Rome, Ga. <9/ <9- Several counties in Southern Georgia have c mdidates out already for the legislature for next fall’s election. <s><?><?> Editor Ferham, of the Herald, was one of the judges in the baby show at the Waycrogs Pair last week. Beats any man we ever knew getting in trouble. 1 <*> <S- <S> “Valdosta Times : Most every body respects old age, except when it comes to beefsteaks and chicken.” ( )r you might add when the old one has something they want. <£<£>■s< The Columbus Enquirer-Sun’s special edition last Sunday was an immense thing. We didn’t count the pages, as there was so much to read that vve neglected to do so, still it was a hummer. <S <s> <y Brunswick News : “Douglas is not the first town that has a dose of railroad bottling.” That may be true, but Douglas has had about as much of the bottling as she in tends to put up with. <t> <s> Dougherty county is suffering with a mild type of small pox, chiefly among the negroes, such as Irwin and Coffee counties had last year. Compulsory vaccination is being enforced in Albany. <£> A. <*> Miss Minnie Miles, of Baxley, is studying pharmacy in a practical way under Dr'. A. J. Johnson, of the Tippins Drug Store. We be lieve Miss Minnie is the first one to enter that field in this section. <•> g> <j> The Waycross Herald says Capt. D. G. Purse’s speech on agriculture, at the fair in that city last week, was the feature of the day, We suppose it was a good one, as usual, but then Capt. Purse is an attrac tion am how. <S> <s> <!> More than one hundred drunken men were arrested in Atlanta last Sunday, most of them white men. The price for a Sunday drunk in Atlanta is $10.75, during the week “ ledge Briles" charges only half that amount. <?■ <i> Miss Laura Gault, of Kentucky, who refused to sing “Marching through Georgia,” at a school ex hibition sometime ago, was elected sponsor of the Alabama veterans lor life, and was treated with honor and rispect by all who met her. Nine of the negroes who went to Liberia from (Villa last Spring, returned to their old home. Irwin county, last Friday. They were penniless and in a dilapidated con dition. They report that twenty ol the fifty-six who went are dead. <s> <& <s> Alderman Jones, of Macon has announced that he would stop gam bling in Macon or drown himself in the Ocmulgee river. He had better tell his friends where he intends to split the water in order that they may be near with the grappling hooks. The correspondent of the New \ ork Witness in writing a slander on Southern Georgia says the ‘•grand jury brought in a verdict of not guilty.” Grand Juries do not find verdicts in Georgia, but in this case Hie verdict seems to have un covered an ignorant scoundrel, who is afraid to give his name or post office. •$* •$> The letter in the New York Witness of last week, and re-pub lished in the Breeze to-day, says the Georgia Cracker wants a living without work. If the writer will come to Coffee county we will show him a steam mill near Douglas, owned by a northern man, where no negroes are employe!, alke de Mite people. • %ativ< am. \ M Coffee County Fair Association. Since the several fairs in different sections of the State have been held, some of our people are of the opinion that there are a dozen far mers in Coffee county who can ex cel anything in that line seen this year. We have some farmers in Coffee county who, it is said, have better stock, better poultry, better cattle, and finer farm products than anything of that kind shown at the \\ aycross Fair. With a few gen tlemen and leading farmers like B‘ H. Tanner, J. S. Lott, Dennis \ ickers, W. M. Gaskin, Jesse Lott, T. JI. Brown, Henry Vickers, Joe Daughtery, T. Paulk, 11. C. Girt man, 1. L. Cook, B. Peterson, T. B. Marshall, J. B. O’Berry, J. M. Ashley, C. A. Ward, and a hund red-more, there would be no trouble in getting up a county fair that would be worth thousands of dollars to this county. Douglas would be the most eligi ble site for such an undertaking, on account of its situation, easy access by railroads, Ac. Land for that purpose can be secured in town or near its limits, and the gentlemen named, all being ambitious, enter prising and full cf determination to succeed or excel can make the Coffee County Fair Association a success from the jump. An organ ization should be had at the spring term of court, officers elected and committees appointed. <i> <s> <s> Down in Mississippi recently a young negto buck attempted to rape a New York white lady who was spending sometime there, when lie was run down and captured by the neighbors. The lady identified him, the mob appointed a judge, einpannelled a jury and lie was found guilty. All executioner was appointed and he was snatched into eternity. The coroner’s jury found a verdict that the “negro came to his death by justifiable lynching.” Score one for that Jury, a southern mob and a northern lady. Now, let bloody shirt squealers squeal. <S> <S> <S> Brunswick News: “We cannot blame Douglas for registering a kick on being bottled up by the A. & B. and B. A B.” Nor can the officers of the two roads. The re ceipts at Douglas for the past few months for the A. A B. railroad lias been from $5,000 to $6,000, and the mofith just closed over $7,000. But the policy of the A. AB. and B. A B. to bottle us up is like killing the goose that laid the golden egg, and Douglas is not such a goose as to allow it. .Something is go.ing to happen. <s> <§> The grand juries in several coun ties of the State have been finding indictments against druggists who sold Feruna, claiming that it was an intoxicant. The manufacturers have been notified and have replied that l’eruna was a great medicine, and while it might intoxicate it was not manufactured for that purpose, and it was hoped the druggists would protect the manufacture by refusing to sell it to people who did not need it as a medicine. <§> It will be remembered that no liquors of any kind are now sold in the capital building. A few blocks away there is a barroom, however, which lias an eye for business. The proprietor lias just placed a large sign in front of the place which reads going to the Capitol building, “Last Chance,” and coming from the building, “First Chance.” It is needless to state that he is reaping a harvest.—Doublin Courier. <s■ <s> <s> Several of the New England cot ton goods factories have announced that they will have to suspend operations soon on account of the high price of cotton, unless they reduce the wages of operatives. What will be done has not been decided upon, but is presumed the wages will be reduced. John Harris, the negro who wantonly murdered a policeman in Atlanta sometime ago, was tried, convicted and sentenced to hang last week, still lives, in order that the supreme court, the pardon board and the rest of the family may have a chance to delay the execution. <s><?><s> Ware county’s grand jury has recommended that the county be bonded for $50,000 to secure good roads, Good roads and Gorman are mighty popular things these . —Thomasville Times-Enter- Douglas Weekly Breeze, November 21, 1903.
