TAYLOR, Editor and Publisher SUBSCRIPTION RATES Oue Year ................ Six Months .................... Three Months ................. Advertising Rates on Application.

All obituary notices, cards of thanks, and announcements, other than of a public nature will be charged for at the rate of one cent a word. COVINGTON, GA., MAY 13, 1914. The day of the sweet girl graduate is fast approching. Jack Slaton seems to have hung out the “Isch Ka Bible” sign. The Shriners have captured Atlanta, and everybody has the situation well in hand. Huerta is fast drawing his course to an end, and it seems as if it is going to be appropriate. Tom Hardwick has begun his politi¬ cal fireworks, and they give promise of being scorchers. Chief Beavers relented liis war on his cicic crusades during the Shriner meeting. Poor rule that can bebroken. Census “Bill” Harris and Tom Wat fun are opening up some old political sores in Georgia. And still we all cry "Peace.” We have lots or respect for Loyless of the Augusta Chronicle, be he sure is a fellow that you can’t put your hands on. The Civic League of Conyers is paying bo cents per pint for flies. This is the best move that we have heard of recently. The Eatontou Messenger is pulling to make their city a second class office in the post-office realm. Good work with the results sure. Go to Oxford to the fair tomorow and next day. It will be worth your time to see what the children of New¬ ton county are doing. The more we see of the Frank case the more rotten it appears to be. Burns or his lieutenants seem to be pulling off some bad deals. Felder began his eamaign in his home town of Perry. Watch out, for they say, “A prophet is not without honor, save in his country.” The Monticello News wants the city to buy a sprinkler. Covington has a mighty good one that it should sell cheap. It has been used very little. The power in politics; is not always the guy whose name flies in the head line, but the fei'ow that can speak a n! make things move when he does talk. The rain of last week helped the grain crop considerably. Some parts of the county only received a small shower. Newton will soon gather a big grain crop. We learn that there is one county in the state of Georgia that has no thing must be wrong, for there is num¬ bers of people in the county that are able to have machines. The Georgia weedly editors ought to cut out contests for subscription stim¬ ulants, and get Tom Watson to contri¬ bute on the Frank ease. His paper is selling like—oh, it’s too hot. Editor Rucker of the Alpharetta Free Press turns out an Interesting editorial page. We always look forward to his, with Shannon's Commerce News and William's Greensboro Herald-Journal. President Wilson is some match maker, along with his fighting togs and democratic customs. He takes unto himself a cabinet member, and then elevates him to the rank of son in-law. The governor's chair will have to be extended to a twenty-foot bench if all these candidates get elected.—Dublin Curler Dispatch. How about building an annex? Hon. Clifford Walker has been in south Georgia during the past few weeks. Col. Walker is an excellent gentleman and a good lawyer and we see no reason why he cannot be elect¬ ed attorney general. from A FORMER MALI OMAN 1 have been supcrtendent of roads in Newton county for one year. In this position I have been in every sec¬ tion of the county, and have had op¬ portunity of observing the school con¬ ditions of the county. I desire to say that they have splended buildings, all painted, in every section, all equipped with patent desks and have a term of seven continuous months. I have yet to find a single citizen who would now vote to discontinue local taxation for the bneefit of these schools. Newton is far ahead of Walton in this respect. The farmers are satis¬ fied to remain in the county having as advantages in the education of their children in the county , as in any towns. They are prosperous. 1 trust my old county of Walton will realize her great opportunely and vote for local taxation on May 12th.— H. K. HENSLEIL—Walton Tribune. NOME POLITICAL OPINION. The latest possibility to loom up in the governor's race seems to be Solici¬ tor Hugh M. Dorsey, of the Frank case fame. It is said that he has been soli¬ cited to announce for the office by hun¬ dreds of Georgians. We sincerely trust fie will not permit himself to he ofoled for “ambition should be made of stern¬ er stuff.” • He has gained quite a reputation by liis wonderful prosecution of the Atlan-' ta man. He has become the idol of many Georgians who have run themsel¬ ves crazy over the Frank ease. Just because Mr. Dorsey has been successful in the Frank case gives no reason why he should run for Governor at least not this time. The Grace ease is not mentioned, the Applebaum ease has been forgotten. We are not saying this to dis-credit the brilliant young solicitor. But we might as well make Rear Admiral Badger the next presi¬ dent because he cleaned up the Mexi¬ cans at Yora Cruz. Every man has his sphere and it is in this realm that we believe he should work. . G. R. Hutchens bus set Jack Slaton men to thinking. He is in the race for the United States Senate—the same > ace that Slaton is a candidate. Hutch ms was present at the memorable meet ing in the governor’s office when Jack Slaton decided to make the race. It is said that Hutchens made a speech urg¬ ing Slaton to run. But now the tables have turned, and Hutchens has too become ambitious. Candidly, we believe there is ruption and plenty of it, in all political camps. At first thought we believed that the Hoke Smith stand by had gone to rack when Hardwick and Felder entered the race. But it now looks as if the Sla¬ ton camp has become infested. This politics is not interesting much. There are plenty of offices with plenty of candidates. Our pencil has strong scratching qualities and when the day for the balloting comes around we sup¬ pose we’ll scratch enough names to leave one fellow in each race. So don’t let the warmth misle you. Set stady, for now some folks can slug “Set down (you fool) you’re rocking the boat.” Atlanta has' more “Nobles” this week than any city in the United States. This is one of the best adver¬ tisements that Atlanta lias ever had and moving pictures are being made of all the parades and parts of the city. The Monticello News featured a head¬ line to the effect that “Every Georgia Town Should Have Woman’s Board of School Visitors.” Thy woman’s suffr¬ age idea is gaining ground even in the ■ountry, the last place we expected to feel its effects. The R. F. D. men will get a raise on the first of July when the $1200 a year scale will begin. No men of the state earn onehuudred dollarsa month as do the rural carriers. Their job is a hard one and the goverment should pay them well. Grady Hospital bonds were defeat¬ ed in the election in Fulton county last week. This should be a dissa pointment to the entire city, as we know of no place that needs a city hos¬ pital more than Atlanta. Grady is entirely too small for the size of At¬ lanta. VETERANS ALL BACK FROM JACKSONVILLE. The Confederate veterans began re¬ turning last Friday from the reunion at Jacksonville and they have about all returned. They report a great time, though Jacksonville was rather small for the large crowd that attend Fd. Between fifty and one hundred from Newton county attended the meet.
