Now, will Uncle Sam apologize to

There never was a truer saying
that a stranger will invariably judge
a country by its roads. And if this
is true, what must strangers think of
the miserable apologies we have m
this country?
It is true we are, as yet, a land of
“magnificent distances,” and to a thin
population and few vehicles, we owe
our lack of roads. But this is aeon
dition that no longer exists, and our
roads are many years behind the in
telligence and civilization of our peo
ple.
A capitalist from a northern state
was shown over our section. “Yes;”
lie said, “I like your climate and soil.
It is all that I could ask. Land is
good and cheap, and the fertility and
resources of your country astonish
me. But I do not want to locate
here. You have no roads. I can
neither get my supplies to my plan- I
tation, nor my produce to market
without no outlay for hauling that'
encroaches on my profits.”
This was an extreme view of it,
nnd the gentleman was only in a
measure right. But have you ever
thought of the profit it good rond to
market would he to you?
It would add one-third to the val
ue of every vehicle you lmy, because
it would lust one-third longer. It
would double the value of every!
horse or mule you buy, because, with I
the Bume amount of labor, his years I
of active service would he doubled. 1
It would increase the carrying capac- j
ity of your vehicle one-third, and;
nearly double the drawing capacity
of your horse. It would lessen by
one-third the time you usually are j
compelled to give to hauling your
fertilizers.

The Gazette earnestly hoped that tho

saying tlmt the United States should
take a hand in establishing a reptip-

Those papers outside the Second

save through the light of his own
opinion. Tho Gazette believes in
sound money. But higher than the
silver question, or any kindred ques-
tion, it holds tho principles and weal
of Dcinooracy—thoso fundamental
principles which it believes necessary
to a peoples’ government, and for the
supremacy of which it labors. Two
years ago tho old dcmooratlo ship,
ftdl manned and fresh from victory,
with tho flag of reform at its most-
lieiid, foundered on the free silver
rook. Tho continued lushing of wind
nnd water will break the grand old
vessel to pieces. For our part, we
do not propose to be one of the
wreckers. Wo intend to yield no
liriiiciple to the enemy, but the unity
and supremacy ot Democracy can
only be secured by mutual conces
sions, and there is a golden mean
botweun the opposing elements upon
which pnrly harmony and success can
be built. Democratic success does
not depend upon cither gold or sil
ver rnonomcntttlism, but it docs de
pend on party unity.
Keep up the Lick, Boys.
Tifton is coining to too front as a
manufacturing town. A new barrel
factory has just been built there, and
recently a company has been orga
nized that will manufacture fruit
refrigerators, evaporators, etc. Oh,

Whatever ottr sister cities may lack

HOOD’S
Sarsaparilla
It has won its hold upon the
hearts of the people by its
own absolute intrinsic merit.
It is not what we say, but
what Hood’s Sarsaparilla
docs that tells the story: —
The deal for sale of the 10,000
acres of land betwene Abbeville and
Fitzgerald, which has been advertised
in the Tribune, was closed last
Wednesday. Some Chicago parties
bought the land and expect to locate
live or six hundred German families
there this spting. These new colo
nists expect to engage largely in ag-
rioulturo and do not expect, to build
any city. Such a community will
be of great service in developing this
country.—Fitzgerald Enterprise.
We knew it would happen. While
the Dawson News was being printed
Friday the steam gunge to Editor
Rainey’s boiler didn’t do a thing but
burst. Editor Rainey’s free oilvor
vagaries have caused bint to run
under entirely too much steam for
sometime past.—Macon News.

Even when all other prepar
ations and prescriptions fail.
“ A* » blood purifier we cannot find

When any ot our tamtly complain ot

Hood's Sarsaparilla, and in a short
tlmo we aro in good health.” Ruth
