The Henry County Weekly J. A. FOUCHE. Editor. E::tt‘:ed at the postoffice at McDon ough, Ga . as second "'lass mall matter. Advertising RnO's furnished on appli cation. Official Ortran of Henry County. McDonough, Ga., May 26, 1916 Let’s have biennial sessions without delay. If for nothing else but to get it out of politics seems enough ar gument in selling the State road. One trouble about being a little boy is that pretty ladies kiss him before he is old enough to appre ciate it. When people get mad over re ligion, it’s a sure sign they haven’t any, is the way the Greensboro Herald-Journal expresses it. Of course, the best place to hold the World’s Fair is on your lap, (after the old folks have gone to bed.) Now, that’s what we’ve heard. The Albany Herald thinks the gubernatorial race is about to de velop into one of the worst mix ups known in Georgia politics for years. And it may. Governor Harris kept the path on the prohibition bill, and the liquor heads have it in for the governor. This was expect ed. —Greensboro Herald. An olive-complected damsel asks us what is the sign when her nose itches? Why, gentle one, it is a positive indication that your proboscis needs scratching. —Ex. No one ever Jost money, tem per, character or the esteem of others by being truly polite at home, in public gatherings, in business, on the streets, in school or church. There is nothing more touching than the magnanimity of Colonel Roosevelt in permitting all the erstwhile scoundrels and robbers of the G. 0. P. to come back to him. —Fix. Prof. Otis Ashmore, for twenty years superintendent of the pub lic schools at Savannah, has ten dered his resignation. He says hr has labored in the schools long enough and deserves a rest. Dressed in the uniform of Uucle Sam’s navy, a man signing him self “F, 11. Gilman,” issued a number of spurious chocks on Atlanta merchants in the pur chase of goods before the fraud v as detected. The Weekly congratulates both the Governor and Editor Trox Bankston upon his appointmet on the gubernatorial military staff. Tnis gives Mr. Bankston the rank of Lieutenant Colonel—and right gracefully will the honors be worn. The Weekly hopes the senti m mt in favor of biennial sessions v i not be allowed to escape the next session of the legislature. Other States are finding it to work admirably. Surely there is nothing to be lost but all to gain. The field is ripe unto the harvest. What Moses will lead the way? The Girard Raids. The raiding yesterday of blind tigers and liquor warehouses at Girard, Ala., by a strong force of deputies led by a law agent ap pointed by the attorney general of Alabama, rounded up malt and spirituous liquors valued at $750,- 000. The raids, it was announced, would continue from day to day till all olaces under suspicion have been searched. A great deal of whiskey and other intoxicating liquors is believed to have been hidden in the country near Girard during the last few days, informa tion that a raid was corning hav ing leaked out, in spite of the fact that every effort was made to keep the plan secret. The Alabama authorities had in formation that more than a million dollars worth of liquor was stored in Girard, from which point it was being slipped into Georgia as op portunity presented itself. The raid was carefully planned, and although those who were making Girard headqaalters for wholesale violations of the law had made dire threats of what they would do if any attempt were made to interfere with their busi ness, they were meek as lambs when the representatives of law and order swooped down upon them. The confiscated liquor will be shipped to Montgomery, and the state authorities will make such disposition as the law directs. The Girard raids, the greatest yet pulled off in Southern prohi bition territory, will have a tre mendous moral effect, for thev serve notice upon those who wculd set aside the law that ‘‘pro hibition that prohibits” is going to prevail in spite of communities which, for the sake of filthy lurce, would be laws unto themselves. The whiskey interests had chosen Girard as a sort of Gibraltar, from whose wine Cellars, warehouses and “speak-easies” they defied Alabama’s authorities. And Alabama has answered in a way that those who challenged her will remember. —Albany Her ald. Don’t Fall Off, 80. Jim Williams looked like a fish out of “water” in Macon at the State convention. Commerce News. Editor Shannon told us if we could “scare” up something he’d pay for it, but there was nothing doing. It is only a matter of time when every one will have to get on the water wagon—and we are now on. —Herald. Bulloch county has just com pleted a campaign for $150,000 to build a packing house. — & With the cost of materials al ready about doubled, and contin ually going higher, there is noth ing left for weekly newspapers to do but raise‘the price of subscrip tion or go out of business. By all means let Old Man Woodward, Joe Pottle, A. 0. Bla lock, Thomas S. Felder, Duck worth and all other aspirants for gubernatorial honors get in the race. We want them to run if they hanker to do so. —Cuthbert Leader. Of course we are all subject to certain hoses of memory, but there is one subject close to our hearts which should never be lost sight of for one single moment. Think it over —talk it over—push it along with every possible breath of life. We want better country roads. Union Grove Mr. Frank Hodges of Atlanta is visiting relatives near Salem.
