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 J.

VAUGHAN & CO. CARTERSVILLE, - - - GEORGIA 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 BARTOW TRIBUNE-THE CAR TERSVILLE NEWS. MAY 3, 1917, Mrs. J. W. Jackson, Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Cox, Miss Kate Smith, Miss Jack son, Mrs Sam P. Jones, Mrs. Annie Pyron, Mrs. W. T. Burton, Misses Jes sie and Ruble Lee Burton, all of Car tersville. President Lucy Hale Tapley, of Spelman Seminary, Atlanta; Dr. J. D Hammond, pastor of the M. E. Church, South of Dalton, District Superintendent H. E. F. Burns, of At lanta, were out of town guests. At one o’clock the white guests were served a menu w'hich consisted of baked chicken, home made light bread, sweet pickles, date salad with Mayonnaise dressing, tea flake crack ers, chocolate cake, and black coffee. Quite a palatable menu was served the colored guests and representative men of the city by the Home Maker’s Club of Emerson. The afternoon program consisted of timely addresses made hv Mrs. Pyron, Demonstrator C. H. Cox, Dr. Ham mond, Miss Tapley, Dr. Burns and Supt. J. W. Jackson. Reports were heard from the chil dren's clubs, Home Maker’s Club, and trustee boards of the different schools. The bounty industrial supervisor presided at both sessions. 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 simply a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills —the same that Mr. McElroy has twice publicly rec ommended. Foster-Milburn Cos., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.—(advt.) Legal Advertisements.
