JACKSON COUNTY EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE CALLED TO
MEETCUESDAY
We are informed by the Chairman,
Mr. Homer Hancock, that the execu
tive committee of Jackson county
will be called to meet on next Tues
day for the purpose of transacting
such business as may come before it.
As every officer, from President
down, is ;to be elected this year, we
presume this meeting will open up the
political situation in Jackson coun
ty, and aspirants for office will soon
be making themselves known.
Today, very little politics has
been discussed iu this section, and wc
do not know whether it is the inten
tion of the executive committee to
call an early county primary, or
name the date to coincide with the
state primary when the governor,
state house officers and members of
the legislature and senate are to be
nominated.
The State executive committee has
called a primary to select Geogia’s
candidate for president on March 19,
and it may be that Jackson’s pri
mary will be on that date. Or it may
be the committee will choose a date
independent of any of the above and
pull off a primary pleasing to its own
notion and aspiring candidates.
Any action will be satisfactory to
The Herald. All we ask is that can
didates give us their announcements,
and along with the announcement
send ten dollars.

801 l Weevil Molasses
\
After having been solicited by the business men of
Jefferson and a large number of the farmers in this
section to handle Blackstrap Molasses for use in boll
weevil poisoning, and having one sixteen thousand
gallon storage tank not in service, I have decided to
handle the molasses in tank car lots, keeping on hand
a large supply M all times, giving the public the bene
fit of tank car prices, which is much cheaper than bar
rel prices.
The stock has been carefully selected for use of
boll weevil poisoning, and guaranteed to contain
over fifty per cent combined sugar.
First shipment will be made about February 25th,
and from that time on throughout the season I can
supply your requirements from five gallons to five
thousand gallons. For further information, see me at
