COVINGTON, GA., SEPT. 21, 1910.
They do say that sucker fishing is
good the third week in September.
That paving on the streets leading
to the two depots has not yet been
started.
If you can’t find anything else to
boost, take a running shot at paving
the principal streets of the city.
The Newton County Poultry Associ¬
ation will have something to crow
over when they pull of their show in
December.
We hear alike commendation and
complaint about the lid being bolted
down so tight here on Sunday. It’s
a good thing.
When the city fathers resurrect that
ordinance forbidding spitting on the
streets we will then have a cleaner
town to say the least of it.
We .have heard that a number of
new bales of cotton have have been
sold here this season. You couldn’t
tell it by looking at our cash book.
Several real estate deals, were pull¬
ed off here during the past week, and
they all brought good prices. There
is no better investment than in Cov¬
ington dirt.
Be an optimist, and if you run
against a brick wall in the dark, just
imagine it’s Italian marble, which was
specially reserved for you.—Atlanta
Constitution.
We have been urged recently to
"go after” those men in Newton coun
ty who give in their taxes at a low
valuation. As Covington has no am¬
bulance or hospital we feel a slight
hesitency in saying anything.
Following two great revivals this
summer in Lavonia, twins recently
arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Bible. Will Mr. Bibles religious
tendency be as strong now as it was
some months ago?
In order to defeat Woodward,
all the candidates for mayor of
Atlanta have skiddoed, and left
the field open to that man Winn,
will winn win?—Commerce News.
Look like they are going to drive
him Wood-ward.
Atlanta should demand an explana¬
tion of a biographer of Woodrow
Wilson when he says: ‘‘After his
graduation in law he became an atto
ney in Atlanta,Ga., not to earn but to
learn. Two years of that were
enough, and then he returned to Bal¬
timore.”—Macon Telegraph.
In looking over the reports of
campaign expenses published by the
state candidates in the late primary
we note that the ‘‘cheap men” didn’t
run very much. It was the fellow
who put his cash iu advertising that
landed the job. It do pay to adver¬
tise.—Moultrie Observer.
It is about time for the fall po¬
ets to give out the report that
winter lingers ‘n the lap of sum¬
mer.—Griffin Herald.
Forget it, friend. Such thoughts
disturb the active machinery of the
liver and cause billiousness.
From present indications there is
getting to be a great disregard for the
primaries held for the selection of
men for public offices. Watson wants
a man to run independent for gover¬
nor, and in several districts there is
talk of independent candidates for
congress. It begins to look like the
Democratic party has gone to Watson
instead of Watson going to the old
party. A few more campaigns like
those of recent years and the demo¬
cratic party will go to

ROAD BONDS.
The fact that the grand jury is in
this week reminds us of an¬
like body which convened here
months ago, and at' that time
made a recommendation that met
the approval of a vast majority
of Newton county citizens. That rec¬
ommendation was to the effect that
Newton county issue bonds in an
amount deemed wise for the build¬
ing of permanent roads.
That recommendation was discussed
by the people of the county and many
looked into the matter thoroughly with
the idea that we would really have
an election to see whether or not our
people wanted good roads or whether
they preferred to go in the same old
ruts she had been in for the past sev
eral decades.
We thought, as did numerous other
citizens, that the proper act would be
passed allowing us to decide whether
or not we should have road bonds,but
up to the present time we are no
nearer the consumation of that body’s
recommendation than we were the
day it was copied down in their gen¬
eral presentments by their clerk. In
fact, if anything, we are farther from
it than we were then. At that time
enthusiasm was aroused to such an
extent that it would have passed and
become a law, whereas, now the feel¬
ing has cooled off somewhat and to
make it possible for us to pass a
bond election and make it practical
for those having charge of the work
to build modern roads, we Would
to stand and carry through another
campaign, agitating the question and
showing over again the necessity and
benefit of such an undertaking.
That Newton county needs good
roads we are all aware of. We are
also aware of the fact that our neigh¬
boring counties are doing more to ge
them than we are, and are putting
their best roads up to the edge of
our county line and are carrying right
now trade to their towns that by all
rights belongs to the towns in New¬
ton county. We are simply oversleep¬
ing our rights and these other coun¬
ty’s towns are taking territory from
us every year.
Possibly some will say that we ought
not to say these things publicly. In
answer to this we will say that there
is not an institution in Newton coun¬
ty more willing to boost than we are,
but when it comes to other places
taking what rightfully belongs to us,
and that right out from under our
noses, we cannot refrain from “speak
in’ out in meetin’ ” and telling the
people about it. We want Newton
county to hold what is hers, and we
know that she cannot do it if she sits
down and says that she does not need
good roads. You know this is a fact,
so what’s the use to beat around the
bush.
The grand jury making the recom¬
mendation was a progressive ane and
did that which met the approval of
the greater number of people. It is
regrettable that their idea wasn’t car¬
ried out.
Slovenly Men.
It is a lamentable fact says the
Gommoner,- William Jennings Bry¬
an’s paper,—that many men—men
who are otherwise worthy of the love
of the women of their household—are
disgustingly careless of their person
and clothing. The mechanic, trades¬
man, laborer, and in some instances,
men in the professions, are apt to sit
around in their work clothes after the
days work is done, because they are
“too tired,” or the “day is too near
done,” for them to wash off the grime
of the day’s toil and put on fresh
clothes. Many of these men, in
towns and cities, are of the beer¬
drinking tobacco-using class, and the
perspiration is anything but sweet¬
smelling, without the accumulations
of dirt from their various places of
toil. Then, how few of these men will
take off the dirty underwear, and put
on a fresn shirt on going to bed!
They just tumble down in all their
foulness, and bed sheets, mattress,
quilts, pillows soon become as dirty
and ill-smelling as the sleeper. It
surely is not because of the expense
of the night shirt, because these can
be made of very inexpensive materi
als.
A woman whose love Is worth hav¬
ing—and they are largely in the ma¬
jority—is naturally dainty, but many
of them by being forced to live with
such men become slatternly, and the
whole household gets an air of slov¬
enliness, for which the wife is blam¬
ed but shonld not be. Sons, seeing
the constant uncleanliness of the fath¬
er, do not realize the need of cleanli¬
ness in themselves until the age
when the “girl” comes in, and socie¬
ty brings them up with a mortifying
jerk. Girls having the father before
them as a sample of domestic man¬
hood get a lowered estimate of her
deserts in the matrimonial line, and
are less particular. Its all right to
lecture women on neatness in the
home, but don’t forget to give the
men a stirring up, now and then.
Some of thm should really be fumiga¬
ted before entering the domestic cir¬
cle.

TWENTY-EIGHT NEW
CORPORATIONS REPORTED}
The Georgia and Alabama Indus¬
trial Index published at Columbus,
Ga.,says in its regular weekly issue:
“Twenty-eight new corporations for
the week are reported in the states of
Georgia and Alabama, and these new
enterprises place over a half-million
dollars of fresh capital in circulation,
for the aggregate of their minimum
capital stock is $514,800. These com¬
panies represent many phases of
commerce, industry and land devel
opement in the two states, and illus¬
trate the general business activity.
“Among the new corporations are
two formed to engage in pecan cul¬
ture, one of these being a $50,000
company with headquarters at Ma¬
con, Ga.
“Contract was awarded for the
building of another lock on the War¬
rior river, in Alabama, at a cost of
about $500,000. Gadsden, Alabama,
awarded contract for the erection of
three school buildings. A company
at Milledgeville, Ga., let the contract
for the building of a fertilizer facto¬

The democratic executive com¬
mittee of Elbert county says
that Tribble carried the county
and , the commission appointed
to examine the ballots says that
Howard carried it. A beautiful
mess.—Dublin Courier Dispatch.
Wouldn’t “rotten” convey more
nearly the condition of things in
that county?
Rev. Newell Dwight Hillis des¬
cribes Roosevelt as “the on¬
ly man on earth who can throw
double sixes every time.” We
do not understand these eccle¬
siastical references, but the re¬
mark sounds good. — Haverhill

his evangelical training at Monte
