SAM JONES THE ORIGINAL
prohibition crusader.
Many people are so eager to assume
•edit for the ambitious achievements
of others that they do not hesitate to
appropriate the results of their en
deavors to their individual advance
ments. forgetful of the Biblical injunc
tion to ‘‘Render unto Caesar the things
that are Caesar’s.”
Thirty years ago Rev. Sam P. Jones,
of Cartersville, Ga., the greatest evan
gelist that the world will ever know,
preached state prohibition in every
meeting that he conducted and was
accounted visionary and impractical.
He preached as only a man can preach
v ho has been knocked out by John
Barleycorn and‘‘come back.”
Mr. Jones was the most persistent
and effective enemy that the liquor
traffic has known since the beginning
of time, making more fearless fights
in heated prohibition campaigns than
all v other man in the history of the
■world. And when Sam Jones spoke
people took notice, and it is safe to
say that he ‘‘killed” more saloons than
any other man. It seems an eternal
pity that this great warrior was not
permitted to live to witness the fruits
of bis labors, after preparing the way
that led to success. It is true Mr. Jones
had the support of Seaborn Wright,
of Rome, who was such a consistent
prohibitionist that he refused to drink
milk from a bottle in his infantile
days. So far as The News and Sun has
been able to ascertain the name of
Mr. Jones has not been mentioned by
these eleventh-hour prohibitionists.
Governor Harris will doubtless find
recognition in history as “Georgia’s
famous prohibition Governor,” despite
the fact that he spent sixty years on
the other side of the fence, and was an
avowed 'local optionist when the first
state prohibition bill was enacted in
1907. T. Bosh Felder, for many years
chief attorney for various liquor inter
ests, and Wm. H. Burwell, speaker of
the house, who never viewed with fa
vor the cause of prohibition until it
became apparent that he was going to
be defeated for. re-election, may re
ceive honorable mention in connection
with the “bone-dry” prohibition law.
It was stupidly easy for a peanut
politician to declare for prohibition in
1915-16-17, but back in the ’Bo’s it re
quired a man of monumental nerve
to face the advocates of liquor in the
legislature, where it was claimed by
seme men now mighty “dry” that
“these prohibitionists are endeavoring
to curtail the personal liberties of the

COLORED SCHOOLS
SUCCESSFULLY CLOSE
The third annual commencement of
colored schools was held at Mt. Zion
Baptist church, April 21.
Eleven schools were well represent
ed with children, teachers and patrons.
The exhibit consisted of booklets, all
kinds of wood work from the rolling
pin to the oak library table, plain gar
ments, crochet work from the simple
to the most complex pattern; beauti
ful and serviceable pine needle, reed
and split baskets. With the addition
of tow sack rugs, quilt tops, and pieces
of embroidery, the room was beauti
fully decorated with the National col
ors here and there, and the effect was
striking.
A large and appreciative audience
was entertained by a program of
songs, recitations, parts of cantatas
and plays rendered by the different
schools. The music, which consisted
of negro melodies and patriotic songs,
was directed by Prof. H. R. Tomlin,
of Adairsville school.
Prominent guests were Supt. and
citizens.”
it may be fair for designing poli
ticians to seize opportunities created
by others and reap where they have
not sown, but The News and Sun,
which joins in the general rejoicing
over the enactment of the Law, regrets
that men who fought for prohibition
and predicted its victory when others
were discouraged and doubtful, have
so soon been forgotten. Be it said to
the everlasting honor of the memory
of Sam Jones, who has been in the
Heavenly City all these years, “Well
done, thou good and faithful servant.”
Political fakirs and freaks may as
sume credit for state prohibition in
Georgia, but every honest person
knows to whom the honor Is due.
In the mad rush for fame and promi
nence and a consuming desire for
achievement for political purposes,
many of the “bone-dry” prohibitionists
of today have overlooked the fact that
they did devilish little to develop the
present condition.
All true prohibitionists welcome con
verts to the cause, especially if they
?re not political prohibitionists, but
we should be honest enough to “Ren
der unto Caesar the things that are
Caesar’s and unto God the things that
are God’s.” —Griffin News and Sun.

THE BEST TEST
Is the Test of Time.
Years ago this Car tersville resident
told of good results from using Doan’s
Kidney Pills. Now O. R.. McElroy, car
penter, of N. Gilmer St., confims the
former statement —says there has been
no return of the trouble. Can Carters
ville people ask for more convincing
testimony?
Mr. McElroy says: “The trouble I
had, I believe, was hi ought on by
straining myself at my work or by ex
posure. The kidney secretions passed
too frequently and w r ere very annoy
ing. My back has been none too strong
at times and has pained me. I have
taken Doan’s Kidney Pills for these
troubles and I am glad to say that
they have done me so much good that
for some time I have been free from
any sign of the disease.” (Statement
given February 4, 1911.)
OVER THREE YEARS LATER Mr.
McElroy said: “Though my work is
hard on my back, I have had no re
turn of kidney trouble.”
Price 50c, at .. ’ dealers. Don’t

Doan’s Kidney Pills —the same that
Mr. McElroy has twice publicly rec
