she says, “No it didn’t.”—Griffin

Buick
When you pay $r,000 or $1,250 for a motor car
yn have a right to expect a great deal. When you get
a Buick you know you will get a great deal, because
you invest your money in a proved car. Remember the
Buick car has won more races with cars of its class and
horse power, than any othet car in the south. Remem
ber that hundreds of 1909 models have been sold and
delivered in Georgia, alone, and at e in actual daily use.
What has the car done you are looking into? Be
fore you buy a car inquire whether it has done anything.
Has it been in any races? Has it been assigned to any
unusual test? How many like it have been in use long
enough for you to judge them?
The Buick is not so good because it has a reputa
tion—it has a reputation because it is good. Look at
the Buick; inquire about it; or if you are interested drop
us a card and ask for Buick literature; or if you are in
town come in to see us, or phone 261 and we will take
you out and show you,

Augusta Man Has Narrow Es
cape.
Dr. C. Blandenburg, a young
dentist of Augusta narrowly es
caped drowning at midday Sun
day a 1 the Isle of Palms. He was
rescued by Life Guard James
Parish, assisted by Messrs Jack
Lehman, Frank Basnett and
Henry Simpkin ol Charleston.
Dr. Blandenburg returned to
Augusta on the excursion train
Sunday night.
Dr. Blandenburg swam out
side the lines and was c mght by
the undertow. He called out for
help, and Mr. Lehman who was
in bathing heard his cry and
went for Life Guard Parish.
Mr. Paris hurriedly put on his
life preserver and started to Dr.
Blandenburg’8 rescue. A line
was attached to the preserver
and it was held Jby Messrs Leh
man, Basnett and Simpkins.
When Mr. Parish reached Dr.
Blandenburg he had given up
and was lying motionless on
the water. He was black in the
face and unconscious.Mr. Parish
brought him to shore, where after
working with him for an hour
he finally came to. Dr. Blanden
burg was very weak the remain
der of the day. He is none the
worse lor his experience, except
thBt he is very weak and sore
from his exertions and the heroic
treatment resorted to in order to
save him.
Dr. Blandenburg is a son of
Mr. and Mrs. O. A. Blanden
burg of Carrollton Ga.
Whatgthe Legislature Should
Do.
The general assembly Jwhich
convenes next week should at
once pass a law creating a board
of tax assessors to epualize the
burdens of taxation, whose duty
.it shall be to find the hidden prop*
erty that has hitherto escaped
the tax gatherer, and make the
load of taxation bear evenly on
all alike.
It should then repeal the in'
iquitous neer beer tax and outlaw
the baneful stuff. Evey beer
saloon inGeorgia should beclosed
up. The maintenance of these
places under sanction oflawbodes
no good to the state.
Next, do away with annual
sessions of the general assembly
aud let that body meet once
every two years
Repeal the pernicious provis-
ngs of so-called reform registra*
iion law.
Pass the general tax act, the
appropriation act;
And then adjourn.
There are already too many
laws on the statute book and it
ought not to be further cumbered
with an additional load of foolish
provisions.
We do not exoect the states'
men to heed our advice. A per’
feet flood of bills will reach the
clerk’s desk the first opportunity
offered lor the introduction ol
measures, and the legislature
will be kept busy considering
matters which are illy worthy ol
consideration. The really inn
portant questions will be left to
the end of session and those
which do pass will be impeifect
and choauc because of the time
devoted to trifling bills which
ought never to have been i ntro'
duced.—Meriwethe rVendicator.
The Modern Farmer
The modern farmer is progressive. He
adopts the new machinery and the modern imple
ments. and uses modern methods. And he suc
ceeds.
The modern farmer knows, too, that the
right place to keep his money is not at home
where it is likely to be lost or stolen, but here in
the
First National Bank,
OF CARROLLTON,
Where it is absolutely safe and ready at his call.

Protracted Services Close At
Christian Church.
The protracted services which
have been in progress tor three
weeks at the Christian Church
closes tonight (Thursday).
Dr. S. D. Colyer has conduc
ted the services throughout, and
in profundity of thought and
simplicity of expression his
sermons are seldom equaled. He
is eloquent and forceful, his talk
without apparent effort is
throughly impressive.
The sermons of this man are
sure to do good.Good results are
sure to follow where the gospel
of God’s love is so earnestly
expounded as has been by Dr.
Colyer.
