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.

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.

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.

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. “J. A. SHARP, “President, Young Harris College.” Vol. 51. No. 22. 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.
