Judge James Thompson.
Folkston, Ga. f Dec.Tl, 189 3.
Editors Herald: Thinking that it
would interest many of your readers I
have decided to furnish you with a short
biography of one of the most notable men
that ever added anything to the history
of this county, and who has left his name
engravened more indelibly perhaps than
anp other man who was ever in any way
connected with Charlton county. That
man was Judge James Thompson.
He was born in Tatnall county, Geor
gia, April 6th 1815, came to thb count/
when quite young,. perhaps about 17
years of age, eulisted in the Indian war
iu 1833 and "served there about three
years. Judge Thompson was in many
ways a notable man. He held various
offices in the county for nearly fifty years.
He served his people first as a constable,
then ns a judge of the iuferior court. In
1855 he was elected to the general as
sembly, Hater he was called again into
public life, and in 1880-SI served in the
lower house of the legislature, aa 1 in
82-S3 ho.represented the fourth sena
torial district in thd senate. In 1884 he
was elected county school commissioner
in which capacity he served for eight
years giving to the educational interests
of his county work the value of which
can never be estimated. In 1892 when
the services of true aud tried men were
in demand When the whole country
was in a state of agitation, and the demo
cratic party was casting about for its
ablest and strongest men he was chosen
to lead the democratic columns of his
county to the grea': victoiy which re-
svlted in committing publie affairs to
the hands of the people’s friend and the
country’s choice, Grover Cleveland.
Judge Thompson’s - usefulness was
brought to an end rather suddenly sud
denly by his death on Aug. 7tli, 1893
after an sllness of only a few days. No
man ever had more or stronger friends
among all classes than he. As a citizen
he was the peer of any man. He was a
friend at all times to those who needed
his friendship and being possessed ot
large means he was a friend to a large
number of people in financial matters.
In rcligioirke was a consistent and
prominent member ot the Primitive
Baptist church, and in matters pertain
ing to church government his counsel
was sought as much as his judgment
in public affairs. In his death Charlton
county lost a son wfcose place can never
l)c filled. *
Let silence govern the lips which
would attempt to utter ought against his
honored name. Respectfully,
W. O. Gibson.
Re Tried Sam Join’s Style.
Birmingham, Ala. Dec. id— 1 The
Rt k v.4 Bin Jones has for several weeks
been carrying on revival services here,
aptl his customary epithets, “You dirty
yellow, hound dog,” “You imp of hell,”
and other such expressions, were fre
quently used by the noted evangelist in
addressing his congregations. Parson
Isaac,Davidson, who presides., over a
small negro church a few milc3 from
here, was a regular attendant at the
stings. He was a great admirer of
the Roy. Mr. Jone’s style, and decided
to cultivate it. Accordingly, last'Sun
day lie treated his congregation to a new
kind of preaching, which was in strong
contrast to his former meek and ‘ lowly
black devils! You imps of hell!
sow cats!” he began,
him!” shouted a big black
vho sat near the front and to
preacher appeared'to address
m!” was echoed through the
tion.
id old sisters joined in the cry,
and Mpn the congregation was upon
him. T/jFinaily some charitable persons
suggested-he was crazy and the parson’s
n Mite endorsed this assertion. He
3 soon red and watched like a maniac.
3 epi|jjained that he was trying Sam
JonelsS&ctics on his congregation, but
they", not having heard that exhorter,
coukbaiot bo convinced that these
method? were customary, and had the
parsosffkrrested for using “cuss words” in
the pulpit. He has not as yet had his
trial .--New York Sun.

A Public Library.
The demand for a public library in
Wayeross is increasing daily. It may
be putting it pretty strong to make the
statement, but we do believe that a good
library in the community is needed more
than any other one thing at this present
time. If you will investigate the matter
a little you will find that our young peo
ple have not the proper books to read.
If, however, the good books around here
were brought together and put within
the reach of all, the number would
astonish you and the advantage to our
people would be incalculable. The cost
of getting up a library npon the general
contribution plan, is small and is the
best way to make a start When a
nucleus is formed and an organization
perfected the library will continue to
grow from month to month and from
year to year. There are hundreds of
valuable maps and documents in the
government departments which would
be donated us and from many other
sources contributions would flow in. If
this work is ever to be accomplished in
Wayeross it must be done by the ladies,
they can take hold of the matter and
have the whole thing in working order
in thirty days, and future generations
will rise up and call them blessed. Wil]
they do it?

Bnrned to Death.
The Herald learns of a shocking oc
currence which took place about two
miles from Milwood, on Monday' last.
A Mrs. Morgan was building a fire
the fire-place of her home, when her
dress caught fire. She had her baby in
her arms, and placing it hurriedly o
bed, she ran to the well in the yard for
water, tfie flames having caught her gar
ments rapidly, she attempted to re
turn to the house. Iler cries brought
assistance, but too late. She died tbe
same afternoon. It is a very sad case.
The baby was not injured.

From Good Housekeeping.
Be earnest. Half-heartedncss will not
accomplish one-half as much as whole
heartedness will, when it is rightly han
dled. *
Be honest. “Honesty is the best poli
cy,” and the best policy will often be
found along the way that honest men
travel.
Be straight. Not only “straight as a
string,” but be rather “straight as an ar
row” if you would be sure to “hit the
mark."
Be watchful. “Watch out” and you
should watch in, as well. Also, “watch
and wait,” if you would not let opportu
nity slip by unnoticed.
Be considerate. “Consider your ways
and, be wise,”, and having found the
ways of wisdom, walk therein “all the
days of your life.” ’f
Be amiable. A “cross-patch” “may
pass by on the other side without being
asked to “come back our way,” while all
the world likes to go go hand in hand
with amiability.

It seems almost incredible, never
theless it is true that nearly 13 per
cent of the railway property in tbe
United States went into the hands of
a receiver during the past year.
There are too many chronic grumb

idea to levy a special tax, municipal,
county and state, on these pessimists.

caused by impure blood.
A Car Load of Tramps.
At the depot early this morning the
officers found a box car loaded with
tramps. They were not molested, but
with assistance ol a car seal and a wire,
the car was locked and the “tourists”
sent towards Thomasville. When and
whereever the car stops the tramps will
stop.—Albany Herald.

his arrest.
A good deal of contention grew out of
the matter, and the case has been iw
