“MAN WAS BORN TO HUSTLE."
FITZGERALD, IRWIN COUNTY, GEORGIA, DECEMBER 2, 1897!
-
Trying to do business without ad¬
vertising is like throwing a kiss at a
girl in the dark ; you know what you
are doing, but nobody else does.
The foot ball record for this season
to date is killed outright, 8 ; perma¬
nently injured, 16 ; seriously injured,
120 ; injured, 130. This only includes
games in leading schools and college
Every cotton grower wishes ever ,
other cotton grower would reduce his
acreage of cotton, but isn’t willing to
plant less cotton himself—Edgefield
(S. C.) Advertiser.
Arizona is pressing for admission as
a State. Its population is only a frac¬
tion of the ratio on which the house of
representatives is apportioned—only
an average of one inhabitant per
square mile.
One cannot elbow their way through
the Kimball house rotunda without
running up against half a dozen men
who have their gubernatorial light¬
ning rods up, says the Thomasville
Times Enterprise.
Georgia wants fewer, simpler and
plainer laws, without so many surplus
whereases, wherefores and therefores.
The multiplicity of laws, many of
them couched in language susceptible
of more than one construction, is the
bane of the State.
An editor once received a marriage
notice for publication of Mr. Eben-
ezer Sweet to Miss Jane Lemon. He
commented as follows : “ How hap¬
pily extremes do meet, in Jane and
Ebenezer; for she’s no longer sour,
but Sweet, and he’s a Lemon squeezer.”
A convention of cotton growers is
called for December 13th, in Atlanta.
The chances are that the growers will
meet, pass a lot of resolutions and then
go home and plant it all’down in the
fleecy staple. That is a good way to
push up the price, we don’t think.—
Americus Herald.
An exchange says that a little girl
who had been taught to pray for oth¬
ers and for anything she wanted,
wound up her prayer as follows: “And
now, oh, God, take good care of your¬
self, for if anything should happen we
would only have Mr. McKinley to
help us and he ain’ doing near as well
as we expected.”
If the Australian ballot law is
adopted, as we believe it should be,
the primary election law should also
be so amended as to come within its
provisions.—Ex. All right. Let it
apply to all elections. It will insure
a free ballot if not a fair count. And
the voters can be -count.—Thomasville depended upon to
look after the
Times-Enterprise.
The legislature will probably settle
the school book question by passing
the bill of Mr. Thomas, which has
been favorably reported. The bill
vests in the county, city and town
school authorities the power to provide
books for use in the public schools, to
prescribe and regulate the manner of
making changes in books, and for the
renting of books to students. Reports
are to be made by the county, city and
town authorities to the State superin¬
tendent of education.
Having read in the papers that
Kansas would send a car load of jack
rabbits to New York to be distributed
among the poor for Thanksgiving, an
evangelist of Washington wrote to
Governor Leedy, of Kansas saying
that it would be a graceful and grate¬
fully received charity if he would ar¬
range to send a car load of rabbits to
be distributed at the capital among
the disappointed office seekers. The
governor is giving the matter his care¬
ful attenti on. /
Some young men are contented to
wear overalls and plow shoes that are
paid for. They are apt to have some¬
thing laid up for old age. There is
another class that want to wear the
latest checkered shirt front, patent
shoes and tailor made suits of the latest
pattern and a nasty cigarette in his
mouth, and they are for not particular the
whether they are paid except these
cigarette. The chances are that
will tramp the country and call the
former selfish, bloated capitalists.
The Wi regrass Circuit.
From Cordele Dally Sentinel.
The Irwinville Dispatch, a weekly
newspaper published at Irwinville,
Ga , has seen fit to jump on the new
circuit bill and its promoters and say
it would inerease the taxation in the
State and would increase the number
of salaried officials, and in the same
breath says that there are now in their
proper senatorial district. Well, we
presume the editor, Brother Clements,
has his eye on the Georgia sen¬
ate and that causes all these remarks
about “ people opose it” and “increased
taxation.” We are very much sur¬
prised that he does not know that the
judicial circuit has nothing to do what¬
ever with the senatorial district and
his chances might be better with more
alliances.
The circuit will not increase taxa¬
tion enough to even be felt by the
poorest tax payer and the benefit to
be derived from obtaining it will be
far in excess of the expenses of main¬
taining. The creation of this new cir¬
cuit will iucrease valuation of lands
and other property. It will cost no
more to run a court in any of the
counties under a new judge than the
old ones, and besides every tax payer
or citizen of Georgia or other State
coming into this State is entitled to a
hearing of his case where the law al¬
lows it. The business in these coun¬
ties, which is constantly increasing,
and the many interests needing atten¬
tion should be protected before any
person’s senatorial ambition is con¬
sidered.
We are advised that the people
generally desire this bill to pass, and
it is to be hoped that the present leg¬
islature will create this circuit and
that Representative Henderson will
let the Irwinville Dispatch look after
its senatorial fences and that he will
help the people to land his good old
county in the front ranks, where she
will control herself and not be con¬
trolled by other counties. By all
means, pass the bill and please the
people, if you do not pleasff the future
office-seeker.
Selling Cigarettes to Minors.
Almost every day the streets of
Reidsville furnish the spectacle ot lit¬
tle boys puffing away at cigarettes.
Although it is a violation of the law
to sell a boy a pack of cigarettes,
there are merchants in Tattnal who do
it. The Journal wishes to remind
those merchants that it is just as much
a violation of the law to sell cigarettes
to boys as it is to sell whisky to men.
The law says:
“ The offense is a misdemeanor and
is punithable with a fine of not more
than $1,000, imprisonment for not less
than six months or confinement at
hard labor for not more than twelve
months, either or all, in the discretion
of the court.”
All merchants who keep cigarettes
for sale would better make a note of
this. And the grand jury is requested
to bring the violators of this law to
justiee.— Tattnal Journal.
The bill introduced in the house by
Mr. Whipple, of Dooly, to create a
new judicial circuit out of the coun¬
ties of Wilcox, Dooly, Irwin and
Worth, seems to be meeting with fa¬
vor among the people of the counties
named. These counties, by reason of
their rapid growth, and especially by
reason of the large number of negroes
employed in mills and on turpentine
farms, have largely increased business
before the courts, and it seems to us
that no mistake would be made in
placing them in a circuit to them¬
selves. The increased business seems
to justify such a step ; but whether the
tax payers of the State are in a condi¬
tion to bear the additional expense
just now, is a question for the legisla¬
tors to determine. We may safely
leave the latter point to be determined
by the servants of the people now in
session in Atlanta.—Ocilla'.News.
Merchant Tailor—“I am sorry to say
it, Mr. Goodbeart, but as this is to be
your wedding suit, I must demand cash
on delivery.” Mr. Goodheart—“Eh?
Why, I’ve had an account with you for
years, and I’ve always paid sir.” promptly "Yes, to
the hour, the very hour,
Mr. Goodheart, but you were a bache¬
lor, and had the handling of yonr own
money.”
