It is claimed that Ex-Senator
Hardwick is violating the frank
ing privilege by sending out
several thousand copies of his
farewell address to the senate.
May be one method of punishing
his enemies.

The new county of Treutlen
votes on the; question of'■bonds
for the erection of court house
and jail April 30. This is the
proper way for any municipality
to finance a big enterprise. It
is far preferable to direct taxation
for immediate needs, when funds
must be raised in one year.
Education for the masses, good
roads, and diversified farming.
I>et this form the triune subject
of our efforts, if we would make
this a progressive section. The
former forms, a good, safe back
ground for activities in both of
the other lines of endeavor, and
the day is not far distant when
this idea will be recognized. Good
roads, too, will increase interest
in many lines. Good roads save
time and dollars.
They say fishing will be good
this year, but if a fellow cannot
get in contact with the sport, he
is no better off than if he were
a resident of a desert, as far as
fishing is concerned. Looks now
as if the mullet box will be our
only resort. 0, for ariverto run
by a fellow’s door, poles in a cor
ner and worms in the back yard,
and nothing to do but fish, fish,
fish, beginning by the new time
and closing by the old time.
The Chautauqua is here this
week, through a contract made
with a number of representative
citizens, and it beehooves the
people of the town and communi
ty to patronize it to the fullest
extent. The Chautauqua, if
measuring up to former stall
dards, is well worth the price of
admission, and we trust it will
not be necessary for the guaran
tors to make cash outlays to ful
fill their contract because of a
lack of patronage on the part of
the public.
Mt. Vernon, through a meeting
of representative citizens, has ex
pressed itself in favor of a system
of light and water for the place,
from which the school would also
be supplied. This, if carried out.
would be the most progressive
step ever taken by the town and
should by all means be carried
out. Mt. Vernon is old enough
to afford some of the necessities
of life, if not some of the luxu
ries. She has the means, and
the demand exists has existed
for many years—and before 1
another year it is probable that
Mt. Vernon will be fitted with
electric lights and waterworks.
If the plan is defeated, it will be
because of indifference, and not
for a lack of outright demand.
Cochran is to be congratulated
on having at last secured the
Twelfth District Agricultural and
Mechanical School, after a season
of technical delays. It is hoped
that the school, when completed,
will have a greater appreciation
on the part of the public than
some of the schools of this <rlass.
These schools were designed,
primarily, to teach advanced
principles of agriculture, in con
nection with the academic course,
of course; and yet there has been
a lack of interest in this very
important feature, the basic prin
ciple of the agricultural school.
Broadly speaking, the farmer
boys, for whom these schools
were intended, have never given
them the patronage intended by
the state since they were provid
ed for.

Reports are that the farmers
of Texas are planting all the
fields, front yards and gardens in
cotton. Maybe they have heard
about us agreeing not to plant
much. If the reports from Texas
are true, and there is no reason
to doubt them, the farmer is liable
to sell his next crop for half what
the price is now.—Lyons Prog
ress.
The Georgia Good Roads Bulle
tin, official publication of the
Georgia State Automobile Asso
ciation, is actively behind the
proposed bond issue of fifty mil
lion dollars for permanent roads
in this state. It seems to us that
no person could intelligently vote
against the issue. The only pos
sible objection, as we see it, is
that the amount should be con
siderably increased. As for the
merits of good roads, there is
absolutely no argument against
them. —Tattnall Journal.
Savannah has a peculiar fight
on relative to the pawn brokers
of the city. Apparently the city
council and, of course, the brok
ers themselves want the present
local law changed so that pledges
may be made by persons under
twenty-one years of age and over
sixteen. The Savannah papers
have had some very interesting
and instructive editorials relative
to the matter and needless to say
they oppose lowering the age
limit strenuously. —Dublin Couri

The citizens of Jasper county
are sitting up and taking notice
of the wonderful work which the
tractor does on the farm and the
time is not far away when hun
dreds of these useful and profit
able machines will be busy in
t! is county, helping the mules
anJ horses to fill the money pock
ets of the planters who own
tin m. Day by day scientific
farming is coming into its own
and the wide-awake farmer will
soon be gathering two ears corn,
<. tc., where he once garnered one.

We congratulate the Toombs

We have seen it somewhere
that the two-cent postage would

Italy has passed the challenge

Oakland Sensible Six |

It is a six-cylinder car of medium price.
I It has a small bore, high speed, overhead
I valve engine.
It is a light weight, high powered car, with |
44 horse power, weight 2130. a
It has more power according to weight than
any car £uilt.
It gives from 18 to 25 miles per gallon of gas. \\
Better than ail else is that you are not always buying |
parts for it. I have been handling the Oakland Six ?>
4 for twelve months and have never had a call for any |
| of the rear axle parts. The profits on my sales of 8
i Oakland parts for twelve months would not buy a j;
box of good cigars.
Why not buy yourself a car like that? It is a ■
whole lot cheaper in the long run.
Several used cars of different makes, part cash
and balance payable next fall.
