Garirer-Williamson
Cordial iriterest centers around,
the announcement in Sunday’s papers
of the approaching marriage of Mr.
W. L. Williamson, Jr., to Miss Helen
Garner of Atlanta. Mr. Williamson
is the son o'! Mr. and Mra. W. L. Wri
liamson, Sr., and while he has made
his home in Atlanta for some years,
his many friends here rejoice in his
happiness. The date of the mar
riage will be announced later.
Early Grain Crops Pay
All the North Georgia farmers
know full -well that the farmer who
sowed his oats, rye arid wheat prior
to, or by the 15th uf October, last
year, matleTine grain. fTaey all kwrw
that the late sower did not make a
good crop. And yet there wiil Ibe
those who will not profit by observa
tion or experience.
Better Condition Than La*t Year
Admitting that we off this section
will get less money fur the present
cotton crop than we got last year,
the fact -remains that we are in
much better condition now than we
were last -year. Every crop so tar
has been a bumper crop. Rye, oats,
wheat, corn, peas, hay, sweet pota
toes, beans-—one and afi have been
bumper crops. With a fine coin
crop, we will grow mure meat, and
have more -chickens, mine milk a*id
butter, and live at home to boot.

To Old Zion Chundfe at
Bcaselton, Ca
Rev. Wiley P. Holland, who, after
a unanimous call to succeed himself
as pastor of Zion Baptist church,
Braselton—the first church he ever
served—has been re-called to that
communion and has accented for an
other year. Mr. Holland is the
pastor of Harmony, Eberrczer and
Alcovy in Walton county and pastor
of Ebenezer, in Gwinnett county.
He, is is understood, has accepted the
pastorate and ihas decided not to
serve Alcovy in this county another
year. It is understood that Mr. Hol
land and family will remain citizens
of Monroe, which is gratifying' to
many. Rev. J. M. Dodd, pastor of
the Winder First Baptist church, has
been pastor at Zion during the pres
ent year.

Editor Growing Mint
We have a pretty nice patch of
mint growing in our office lot. Be
fore the prohibition law went into
effect we had frequent calls for it,
and some of them members of the
church. We judge the members
were making some home made candy
and wanted to flavor it with mint.
While it might have been that the
others were making mint julip. Can’t
never tell. Any way there is no
demand for our mint, as all candy
eaten now comes from the stores,
and we do not suppose mint would
flavor sugar liquor so as to improve
its taste.
Hung Two Men To Start Grave
/ Yard
We struck up w r ith two gentlemen
in front of the Tate House early Sun
day morning. They were from Penn
sylvania and were on their way to
Ashville, N. C., making the trip in
an auto. One of the gentlemen guess
ed our age, missing it fifteen years.
When we told him he said it meant
that this was a healthy country. Yes,
when our county was organized
they had to hang two men to start
a grave yard. These executions oc
curred at the foot of the mountain,
not far from the College, and for a
long time was called the Gallows
Hollow.

THREE ARE KILLED TTVERY
HOUR IN U. S.
The American industry on The av
erage kills at least three men every
hour of the year, and every year a
bove 700,000 become disabled 'for at
least four weeks. The absolute
number of accidents has "been in
creasing, and that is of importance,
not only to the growing number of
victims but to the hospitals in the
country, says Dr. E. H. Lewinski-
Crowrn, hospital information bureau,
New York, who will present the vital
problem of workmen’s compensation
before the 28th annual convention
of the American Hospital Association
at Atlantic City the week of Septem
ber 27. Dr. Corwin will raise the
question of whether it is not an im
portant diversion of trust funds
when such are applied to the mainte
nance of cases in the hospital whose
risks are wholly covered by incur
ance. In other words, money that
should be paid to hospitals for the
care of compensation cases is being
paid out in dividends to the insur
ance company stockholders wh’ i the
patient is being pauperized by the
compulsory acceptance of charity, it
is said.

Georgia Educator
Pays High Tribute
To Holder In Letter
Dr. J. A. Sharp, President of Young
Harris College, Write* Ringing
Article in Reply to the Slnnderou*
Report* Hatched up Against John
Holder.
A ringing tribute t© the character |
and public record of John N. Holder,
candidal* for governor, was paid in
a letter written The Atlanta Jour
nal Saturday by IV. J. A. Sharp,
president of Young Harris college,
and one of the best-known educators
in Georgia. Dr Sharp declared in
his V-tter that ht wrote it without
the suggestion of anyone, but be
cause he could "not remain silent
looter during tbe tirade of abuse
and misrepresentation that is being
hurled at Mr. Holder, a personal
frfe-nd of long Standing.
The letter oi Dr. Sharp follows:
“Editor The Journal:
‘“One of th* strong qualities of
normal human nature is gratitude.
Another that -seldom fails is fair
play. Judged by many utterances
t?iven circulation by opponents of
Tohn N. Holds, appeal is being made
the voters of Georgia -with the
assumption that they are tivroid of
both. This appeal presupposes a
response that I believe will not be
(forthcoming. The attacks being
made on his integrity cannot but
bcive even the lukewarm to h:s de
fense. To charge a man of his well
known integrity with dishonar will
Hot go even hi politics.
Thirty Year* a Frixmd
“I have known him for 8b years
■and had -dealings with him in a so
cial and business -way and have
-?en him often honored and trusted
with high positions by his neighbors,
5w and his church ximi I do
ifyt hesitate to say that in iny opin
ion there is not a cleaner and more
honorable man in Georgia. Tie has
borne with remarkable patience a
campaign aguinst three men, all of
whom seemed to direct the burden
o! their remark* towards an effort
to besmirch a name that vas vindi
cated by Us own county, where
every man is best known, and by
several thousands majority through
out the state. This in the face of
the fact that he was busy kbout his
duties while the whole state was be
ing poisoned by a brand of vitupera
tion that reflects no credit on its
dLspensersand is beKttlingto men who
have to hear it. Such procedure
seems so unjust to me that am
venturing with mo ill will to any one,
to break my usual silence in politi
cal contests, and with a passion such
as Antony felt for dead Caesar, I
must say, ‘He was my friend, faith
ful and just to me ’
“I would be less than a man if 1
did not lift my voice in protest
against the wanton attacks on my
friend. I have shared with him
abuse from my friends because I
changed my mind with reference to
a large bond issue with which to
build roads. For 20 years I have
assiduously advocated bonding the
state for roads. I changed not be
cause John Holder did, but because
out state auditor asserted that in
seven years, through regular chan
nels, we have the amount of money
named in the bond issue, and to
save my life I could not see the busi
ness sagacity that would bond the
state when we already had what
the bonds would call for. I changed.
lam not ashamed of it. Someone
as wise as some of Mr. Holder’s crit
ics has said that ‘Wise men change
their minds; fool never do.’ Why
should it be thought a thing blame
worthy that Mr. Holder* should have
been on both sides of this question?
The large majority of the people of
the state are probably in the same
condition.
Time* Have Changed
“Times in Georgia today are no
more like they were five years ago
than the price of land is like it was
twenty years ago. The aversion to
change is characteristic of bigots.
It is this that kept China a stag
nant nation for four thousand years.
Times change and wise men change
with them. Mr. Holder is seeking
with keen foresight to bestow on
the people a financial blessing for
Thursday, September 30, 1926.
Excellent Citizen Passes to
His Reward On Wed
nesday Morning
Mr. ML A. Carter passed away at a
hospital in Athena at 5 o’clock Wed
nesday morning, following an illness
of several months from a serious
stomach trouble. Mr. Carter was
taken suddenly ill in the early part
of this year, and was carried to the
hospital, where his condition im
proved, and he returned to his coun
try home in this county. He gradu
ally lost strength, and was again
carried to the hospital, with the
hope that a surgical operation would
give relief, but the physicians found
the disease so serious that the oper
ation was not performed, and he
lived only a short time.
Mr. Carter was 62 years of age.
He was reared in Jackson, a member
of one of the oldest and mostonromi
nent families of the county. He had
a bright mind, and was always inter
ested in everything that would bene
fit his community and county. He
was one of the most successful farm
ers in this part of Georgia, and by
. hard work and strict economy had
amassed a splendid income, at the
same time educating a large family
of chi Wren. He was the senior mem
ber of the firm of W. A. & J. Z.
Carter, who do a large amount of
business. He had been a member of
the Methodist church since child
hood, and was loyal to his church
and its teachings.
Mr. Carter was married to Miss
Minnie Pittman, a daughter of the
late Col. and Mrs. M. M. Pittman, and
their country home in Harrisburg
district, between Apple Valley and
Dry Pond, is noted for its hospitality.
Mr. Carter is survived by his
widow; by nine children, Mrs. Guy
Strickland of Jefferson, Misses Mel
ba, Bonnie, Nellie, Minnie, Grace
and Mera Carter; Col. Pittman Cart
er gf Orlando, Fla., and Webster
Carter; by two brothers, J. Z. of Jef
ferson, and J. A. of Alma; by- six
sisters, Mesdames J. D. Eckles and
C. E. Weir of this county, I. N.
Chandler and C. H. Thompson of
Ashville, N. C., Guy Maddox of Re
becca, and W. M. Wilhite of Palas
tine, Tex. Three children preceded
him to the grave.
Funeral services will be conducted
at Dry Pond church Friday at 11
a. m„ and interment will follow in the
cemetery at that place.
The services will be conducted by
Rev. Smith* presiding -elder of the
Elbejtton district, and Rev. L. B. Linn,
pastor of the Jefferson Methodist
churdh.
The deepest sympathy is extended
the bereaved family in their great
loss.
SEABOARD HAD HIGH RECORD
DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS
The 'Georgia Division of the Sea
board Air Line Railway, including
territory between Monroe, N. C., to
Birmingham, Ala., has shown an on
time performance of trains of a very
high percentage '■ ring the months
of June, July and August.
Asst. General Passenger Agent
Pleasants ha* made the following an
nouncements concerning train per
formances:
For June, 1926, 98.1 p. ct. 97.6 p. *t.
Far July, 1926, 96.2 p. ct. 95.9 p. ct.
For Aug., 1926, 97.0 p. ct. 96.7 p. ct.
The Seaboard is to be congratulat
ed on such a record of attainment.
which our grandchildren will rise
up and call him blessed. And for
this forsooth he is held up to scorn
by men who know better but for a
temporary morsel of self-aggrandize
ment would hood-wink the unreason
ing voters into fastening upon our
state a burden of debt that would
grind and grind no matter how we
winced when we awoke to the cruel
mistake. But some say “bonds’ is
not an issue. Well, looking back
for some two years that very issue
runs like the red line that guided the
prophet to Rahob’s hiding place.
“As I see it, the great business of
our state for some years is road
building. Mr. Holder, as governor,
would bring to that office such a po
licy as no other man in Georgia
could have by reason of his practical
training as chairman of the highway
department.
“If anyone sees fit to take excep
tions to this letter, let him do it.
Like Martin Luther at Worms I
would say what I have said ‘if every
tile on the housetop were a devil.’ I
have no mud to sling at any one.
Such a practice is contemptible any
way. But I have heard all I mean
to about John Holder without say
ing for him, without his asking me to,
that I consider him e of the noblest,
one of the most practical, ope of
the safest, one of the best men I ever
knew.

BASE SLANDER ON
JEFFERSON CITIZENS
Hardman Campaigner* Accute Men
And Women Voting Here Septem
ber Bth of Being Drunk.
Gay, Georgia, 9-27, 1926.
Dr. J. C. Bennett,
Jefferson, Ga.
Dear Doctor BenneU:
Avery reliable citiien from Clarke
county, right near the line of .Jack
son, was here yesterday, broadcast
ing the information that on election
day, Sept, the Bth, most every one
at the polls at Jefferson, Ga., wan
drunk. He claimed that most every
one wanted to vote for Dr. Hardman,
but after being made drunk was
voted for Mr. Holder against his or
her wishes.
I, of course, do not believe any
such statement, but others might be
lieve It, in fact some are quoting it
today, and I am writing to ask that
you write me fully how the election
passed, if any drunkenness, or dis
turbance. Did Dr. Hardman come to
Jefferson to see how the election was
being held?
Yours very truly,
J. R. GAY.
Read the letter above of Mr. J.
R. Gay, and you will understand the
dirty methods being used in this
campaign by Dr. Hardman or his
campaigners. They do not even
spare the good women. Mr. Gay
states this party said that moat
every body here wanted to vote for
Hardman, but “after being made
drunk was voted for Holder against
his or HER wishes.”
Now, every person who visited Jef
ferson on September Bth, knows tho
above is a malicious lie. It is just
another of their vicious, despicable
and iniquitous charges, which we
believe the good people all over Geor
gia will resent.
Mr. Gay is a prominent merchant
of Gay.
