Mount Vernon, Ola.. Thursday Morning, MAY 2, 1912.
The corn club boys are keeping
very quiet. We hope they are
“tearing up the patch,” arid get
ting ready for a big show down
this fall.
A ship load of old political
junk, that ought to be where the
Titanic i now. was left over in
Georgia yesterday after the pres
idential primary.
As we have before remarked,
Montgomery county ought to
hold a county fair, because it
would bring our people together
in a united effort, to better our
financial and social conditions.
Georgia will manage to pull
through anyhow, regardless of
who got a plurality of votes yes
terday for the presidency. We
will be happy anyhow with John
M. Slaton in th** gubernatorial
chair.
Congressman W. <l. Brantley
comes out strong for Oscar W.
Underwood for president. They
have fought the battles of De
mocracy and the South sixteen
years together, and Brantley
ought to know him.
We do not think the Demo
cratic party needs anymore pres
idential primaries. Give so
called Democratic newspapers
three weeks time, and they will
prove that every man put for
ward is a thief and a conspirator.
With last week’s paper The
Monitor rounded out 2f> years as
a newspaper, and began volume
27. If we have accomplished
any good we are glad, and will
strive for better things as the
years continue to pass into the
great beyond.
The more we see of local and
state politics the more fully con
vinced wo become that one half
the elections ought to be dis
pensed with. Give us four
year terms for governor and all
county officers and knock out
half the strife.
Billie Brvan, who is a Clark
delegate to the Baltimore conven
tion but now speaking for Wood
row Wilson, is about on a par
with the secretary of an old
maids association, whose mem
bers bad sworn never to marry,
but ran awa> last week and
married.
The earnest efforts of Macon
to give the United Confederate
Veterans the grandest time since
the “stars and bars” went down
under overwhelming numbers
will be appreciated by the whole
South, and Georgia will never
have cause to feel ashamed of
her Central City.
If you cannot attend the Con
federate Yeti.uns Reunion in
Macon on Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thin lay of next w eek, you
would be doing a noble act to
help some old soldier to get there,
as it might be the last roll call
for him this side of “fame’s eter
nal camping ground.”
Hon. C. M. Methvin is a can
didate for representative in
Dodge on a platform urging four
year terms for governor and all
state and county otficials, bien
nial sessions of the legislature,
and abolishing the fee system in
laying public officials. If they
would let us we would go over
and put in a handful of votes for
Claude.

Valdosta Times:— That “a
] touch of sorrow makes the whole
world kin” was shown by the
splendid heroism of the rich peo
ple in the Titanic disaster. Sev
eral millionaires went to their
death rather than crowd someone
else out of the life-boats.
Adel News:—The man who
sings a song of hope is the man
I who succeeds. The sunshine has
followed the rains and there is
yet time to make a good crop.
Dallas New Era: Every farm
er is interested in good roads, and
it is quite noticable that the best
farmers usually live on the best
roads. However, it is possible
for all sections to have better
roads than they do have.
Lyons Progress:—Next Wed
nesday is the time for the county
candidates to see their fate, and
they are doing much primary
work to make it look good. Boys,
don’t swim too much in liquor.
It will have a had effect. Re
member, we are not preaching
prohibition, but we see many
things and we hear where it is
doing some damage.
Butler Herald: —The farmers
of Taylor county have found out
that that there is more money in
hay and corn than cotton, and
will cut the cotton acreage this
year fully 15 per cent. Weather
conditions will cut the production
another 15 per cent.
Macon Telegraph:—Bryan says
the more speeches Gov Harmon
makes the fewer votes he will
get. Sometimes it works that
way. In 189f> Mr. Bryan re
ceived (>,502,925, and after twelve
years of speech-making he polled
0,409,104 votes in 1908.
Blackshear Times: The South
has never had a hearing since
the civil war; therefore, if we
must throw our vote away, let it
be thrown where it will, at least,
Ik* appreciated—vote for one real
Southerner. They are always
appreciative.
Perry Home Journal:— The
sinking of the Titanic, the larg
est and most magnificent passen
ger steamship ever built, was the
most terrible of all sea disasters.
It was believed that this ship was
practically unsinkable, but the
gigantic iee!>erg proved an irre
sistable force.
Laurens County Herald:—The
unusually heavy rains during the
past week will make it necessary
for many of the farmers to plant
their crops over. It seems that
nature does not intend that the
farmer shall overdo the thing
again this year.
Eastman Times - Journal:
Dodge county soil has never yet
failed to produce an abundant
harvest, and our faith for a
bumper crop this year is stiff
strong, regardless of the fre
quent and unusual ablutions that
have been administered.
Hawkinsville Dispatch-News:—
The Dispatch and News is going
to Ik* in position to give its hear
tiest support to whoever the
Democrats may nominate for
president. While we have our
preference, we hope the candi
date will be selected who stands
the best chance of being elected.
Savannah Press: —Mayor Gay
nor replied to a letter from Roos
evelt expressing sympathy for
the Titanic’s survivors, suggest
ing that a little cash would be
acceptable. The mayor must have
read about Teddy being a mill
ionaire.

K. P. CONVENTION
MEETS AT EASTMAN
On Tuesday of last week, the
seventh annual convention of the
Sixth District, Knights of Pyth
i ias, met in Eastman. A grand
welcome was given the delegates,
and the meeting enthusiastic.
This convention is composed of
the Knights of Pythias lodges in
the counties of Dooly, Crisp, Ben
Hill, Wilcox, Telfair, Dodge, Pu
laski and Laurens, and was this
; year the guest of Fidelity Lodge
No. 15C of Eastman.
A spirited contest arose in re
| gard to the selection of the next
place of meeting, invitations be
ing extended by Dublin, Mcßae
and Fitzgerald, and more than
;one ballot being required to reach
!a decision. Mcßae finally se
cured the next place of meeting
by a vote of 25 to 15 over Dublin.
The following officers were
elected for the ensuing year:
President, J. P. Hughes, Cor
! dele.
Vice-President, li. T. Jackson,
Cochran.
Prelate, T. F. Heminger. Fitz
gerald.
Master at Arms, L. I). Emer
son, Dublin.
Inner Guard, C. O. McLeod,
Finleyson.
Outer Guard, D. D. Smith,
Eastman.
Col. Hamilton Burch of Mcßae
was was re-elected to the posi
tion of secretary.
The Weekly Press Associa
tion Meeting.
The time for the meeting of
the Georgia Weekly Press Asso
ciation in Dublin is getting sadly
mixed. Some of our exchanges
give the date as July 12, several
as June 12, and one puts us back
to “June, 1214.” Where are we
at, President Methvin? Please
straighten us out quick.—Mont
gomery Monitor.
At the meeting of the execu
tive committee held in Atlanta a
few days ago it was decided to
hold the 1912 meeting of the as
sociation on June 12th, or June
19th, 1912, a definite decision as
to the exact date to he reached
later after plans for the annual
outing have been perfected.
Brother H. M. Stanley, our cor
responding secretary, is now
earnestly laboring to solve the
intricacies of this problem, and
just as soon as he exclaims “Eu
reka,” we will give all the breth
ren “due and timely notice, that
they may govern themselves ac
cordingly.” Eastman Times-
Journal.
A Surprise for Greeley.
In his younger days, while fill
ing the humble position of print
er’s “devil,” Horace Greeley was
sedulously courting the minister’s
daughter, says Lippincott’s.
Her father did not look with fa
vor on the young man’s atten
tions.
One day, however, the good
man was unwontedly gracious,
and invited the future editor to
come to church the next Sab
bath, as lie felt sure the sermon
would be of special interest to
him. Sunday morning found
I young Horace dressed in his best,
seated in the pew beside the fair
object of his devotion. Sermon
time came, and his dismay may
be imagined when the minister,
looking straight at him, impres
sively announced as his text,
“Ix>! My daughter is being
grieviously tormented by a
devil.”
Notice to the Public.
The bridge on the public road
crossing Tiger creek near Beck
worth’s mill is in unsafe condi
tion and all people and the pub
lic are hereby warned not to at
tempt to cross the same until
further notice. Persons crossing
said bridge do so at their own
risk and peril and the county of
Montgomery will not be held lia
ble for any injury to person, per
sons or property in case of acci
dent
Take notice therefore and stay
off of it.

the market. It is a wholly visi

A Note to You:
April 11, 1912.
There is a great multitude of
little things to be found in a good
Drug Store that you want the
worst kind when you want them.
Tho small individually, they are
a host collectively, and are really
too numerous for us to attempt
to mention. Spoken of individu
ally each would appear trivial;
for instance, corn plasters, court
plaster, chewing gum! Little in
themselves, but what a vast
amount of comfort they afford!
We have them all, ready for you
when you call.
Yours truly,

For Representative:
Georgia—Montgomery County.
To the People of Montgomery County: Du
ring the fifty days that I nerved yon last sum.
mer I carried out every pledge made in my
campaign for Representative. Besides, I was
instrumental in preparing and passing the new
school law, giving an additional hundred
thousand dollars to the school children of
Georgia: an extra forty thousand dollars to
the old soldiers and their widows, getting
several old soldiers on the pay roll as pension
ers who had been turned down before; the
new game law; tho new state road law, and
many other very important matters to the
common people of Georgia, whose triend I am.
I secured the enactment of those laws which,
it carried into effect, will save this county li\o
thousand dollars, or more, every year, I se
cured our new road law giving each district in
the county its own money upon its own roads.
I voted for every prohibition measure tending
to uplift our people and state. I was on all
occasions on the side of the poor people, the
laboring people and the oppressed, and did on
ly those things that I thought were for the
best interest of the whole people. My con
duct as your representative is a matter of pub
lic record. With the experience I have had
lam now in a better positon to render sti ;1
greater service to the people of r..y native
county. I love the people in this grand coun
ty and am anxious to serve them again in the
Georgia legislature. If I have made mistakes
I wish to correct them. There is no money
to be made as a legislator. All yon get is the
consciousness of having served jour people
well and faithfully. God has given me some
powers to help my people in the General As
sembly of Georgia and t purpose using what
ever little I may possess for the best interest
of the entire people. For the above, and other
reasons I feel that I am entitled to re-elec
tion to the General Assembly of Georgia from
Montgomery county under such rules and reg
ulations as maybe prescribed by the proper
authorities, and I earnestly ask the people of
this county to re-elect me, promising them the
best efforts of my life in their behalf. Very
thankfully and loyally yours to serve,
Wm. B. KENT.
For Representative:
I hereby announce myself a candidate for
Representative of Montgomery county, subject
to the action of the Democratic Executive
Committee of the county. I pledge myself, if

the best interests ot Montgomery county amU,
the State of Georgia. Soliciting the support
of the voters of the county, I am
Yours truly,

County Surveyor is placed before them, ask

fice is again awarded me, it shall not stifle a
through a lack of attention, and every call
for a competent and painstaking surveyor will
continue to have mv ready response.
Very truly,
S. B. Mounts.
