RURAL JOYS.
The cattle stand beneath the tree9
And (Iprht the dies the livelong day;
The meadow lark has ceased to sin*.
The bobolink has gone away.
The cherries ere they could be canned
Were seized by birds as contraband.
The warm nights force the growth of corn.
The streams nbound with infant trout,
The cabbnge worm is trying hard
To knock the crop of sauerkraut,
And where we planted (lowers last spring
We cannot find a single thing.
The city girl from far away
Has donned a brassy coat of tan
And squeals at little garter snakes,
Hoping to bring the only man.
The man himself is fighting mad
He has hay fever very bad.
The mower of the ripened hay
While steering on the starboard tack
Ran on a nest of bumble bees
And wears a poultice on his back.
The haying’s almost done at last,
Gee 1 How the summer’s (lying past.

TAX RECEIVER’S BOOKS.
We have examined the Tax Receiv
er’a books and find them in good order.
The gain in the returns for 1908 over |
1907 was $133,174.
TAX COLLECTOR’S BOOKS.
We have examined the Tax Collec
tor’! books and find them neatly kept.
We also find that not all of the special
taxes have been paid for the year 1908.
In the above report we beg to say that
the examinations were as carefully
done as the limited time allowed would
permit.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
We have inspected the public build
ings, and find the court-house neatly
kept and in good condition, except the
leaks around the dial of the clock,
which we recommend shall be repaired
as early as possible. The jail is in ex
cellent condition, neatly kept, and we
stances where officers failed to show
disposition of cases. The books of the
following G. M. districts were not pre
sented for examination: (191st. (Se-
noia) : 557th, (Hurricane;) 113th,
(Grantville;) 1393d, (Haralson). We
also find a vacancy in the office of N.
P. and ex-officio J. P. in the 691st dis
trict, caused by the death of H. H.
Harrison, and recommend the appoint
ment of J. L. Christian to fill the va
cancy.
BAILIFFS AND JURORS.
We recommend that bailiffs and jurors
be paid $2 per day, as heretofore, for
services rendered next year.
COUNTY FARM.
We find nt the farm 9 whites, (2
males and 7 females,) and 9 negroes,
(5 males and 4 females,) making a to
tal of 18 inmates. The following stock
is qlso on the farm: Three mules used
on the farm; 3 lame mules from other
public works; 5 milch cows and 1
calf; 4 hogs for meat. We find in cul
tivation 25 acres in cotton, 40 acres in
corn, 20 acres in peas, 14 acres in sweet
potatoes, 2 acres in watermelons, and
2J acres in cane and turnips. There
are also on hand at the farm 57 bushels
wheat, 5,642 bundles fodder, and 26
bushels oats. There was made on the
farm this year 126 bushels of wheat
and 40 bushels oats. We find the build
ings in good condition generally, but
recommend that the inmates’ houses be
whitewashed on the inside. We indorse
the management of the present super
intendent, Mr. W. L. Cruce, and be
lieve he is the right man in the right
place. In our best judgment, the farm
is as economically run as is practica
ble.
COUNTY CHAINGANG.
We find the camp well kept, and re
port it in good condition. It is now lo
cated on the road between Newnan and
Corinth, about 10 miles from Newnan.
We find the number of prisoners in
camp, 50; one superintendent of the
camp, and 4 guards, but no black
smith ; 40 mattresses; 84 blankets; 100
suits; 19 mules in good condition; 1
horse; 7 wagons; 8 dirt carts; 2 grade
plows; 48 shovels; 42 picks; 10 axes;
5 dogs; 4 portable cars. We commend
Capt. Nash for his discipline, and the
way he conducts the business of the
camp.
'RECOMMENDATIONS.
We recommend that these present
ments be published in The Herald and
Advertiser, Newnan News, and the Se-
noia Enterprise-Gazette, and that each
of the above-mentioned papers be paid
$10 for such publication.

The Bushwhacking Political Pot-
Shotters.
Atlanta Constitution.
It is the evident purpose, with ap
parent motive, of a small element of
those who were disappointed in their
efforts to defeat Hon. Joseph M. Brown
for the nomination for Governor to at
tempt to stand behind the white pri
mary and “pot-shot” the nominee.
They have oiled their blunderbusses
and sharpened their dirks, and from
their supposed camera obscurn they are
sticking and blazing away, as they pre
tend to believe, at the man whom 110,-
000 Georgia voters, in n white primary,
in which more than 200,000 Georgians
participated, have said they want for
their next Governor.
But they cannot hide their prejudice,
their disappointment and their desire
for revenge behind the shallow pre
tense that they are still abiding the re
sult of the white primary and standing
faithful to the obligation which it im
posed.
This stabbing in the dark process
not so much an attack upon the nom
inee as it is an assault upon the
white primary itself—an attempt at
pulling down the only safeguard of
white government and white suprema
cy in Georgia. For the dark-lantern as
sault upon the nominee is an invitation
to voters to bolt the primary—to be
come political apostates. It is, in ef
fect, to say, “we’ve got to pretend to
support the nominee; but you didn’t
get what you want, therefore you are
justified in bolting.” And this from
those who have been talking loudest
about white supremacy, when the
white primary, now established and
well recognized, is white supremacy
sole security and mainstay. Yet. in
pursuit of vengeful desire, they would
hurl their shafts from ambush appar
ently upon the nominee, but in reality
through him against the very govern
mental security for which they have
so loudly and insistently contended.
Is it not about time that they should
quit bushwhacking and come out in the
open? If they are intent upon the de
struction of the white primary, it is at
least worthy of a fair fight in an open
field. Their defeat, assured in advunce,
would then be without the sting or the
stigma of the methods of the bush
whacker. These covert enemies of the
white primary should pursue one of two
courses:
Either give to the nominee—not nec
essarily so much for his sake as for
that of the people’s only safeguard—
the support they obligated themselves
to give by participation in the primary,

Bolt the primary and align them
selves openly with the public enemy
against that essential institution.
There is no middle course!
Bushwhacking has already given to
enemies of the white primary more en
couragement than could ever have come
from open fighting in their behalf.
There is no position but “for the
white primary,” or “against the white
primary.” Therefore, those who will
fight it, should fight it in the open and
let the people know Just where they
stand.
They will then at least escape the
execration which they cannot hope to
avoid if, while pretending to defend the
fort, they persist in attempting to pull
down the walls from within that the
enemy may enter through the breach.
It is gratftying that most of the
newspapers in the State that vigorous
ly fought the nominee are now earnest
ly supporting him for the sake of the
preservation and maintenance of that
political institution which, of all oth
era, the people can least afford to lose.
It is because they realize that the
safety and security of the white pri
mary, rather than any temporary per
sonal advantage or ambition, are at
stake.
It is a fight for an important, an ea
sential principle.
And its enemies will not be forgotten
—least of all those who are seeking
to undermine it while posing as its
friends. _
The other night, when a Louisville
man was putting his four-year-old
daughter to bed, the following dialogue
took place:
"Can God hear what I say now?
from the child.
“Yes,” replied the father.
This time in a whisper: “Did He
hear then?”
“Yea. He hears you just the same,”
was the reply.
This time apparently lower: “Did
He hear me then?”
“Why, yes, of course He does,” said
the father.
“Well, I did not say anythnig that
time at all,” declared the child in
triumph.
Life’s Immutability.
Years roll by, and we think we are
living in an nge different from any that
has preceded us. But how little does
time chunge the lives of men and wo
men, after all!
True, inventions and discoveries vary
our mode of living. We enjoy conven
iences which people a few generations
ugo did not dream of.
We ride in palatial coaches and
steamers and automobiles, when our an
cestors got along with slow-moving ve
hicles pulled by beasts of burden and
laz.v-looking sailing craft.
The tallow-dip furnished light a few
years ago; we have only to turn a but
ton and a flood of light a hundred times
brighter is the result. But. beyond
those material things, what little
change there has been in human exist
ence !
Centuries ago the boys and girls
romped and played with one another.
They loved and married and settled
down to the same basis of life that we
observe about us in the twentieth cen
tury. The men took their places in the
struggling ranks, and prospered and
failed—reached the top and tumbled to
the bottom.
Generation succeeded generation.
Each young man believed that his was
the only era since the world began.
Each young lady was firmly convinced
that hers was the only generation
worth considering.
In literature, in art, in Bcience, in
war, there were masters and captains.
The mediocre fell into their allotted
niche just as they fall into it to-day,
and after time had shown them that
they were not born to reach the high
est rungs of success they patiently
plodded their way to the end.
Reflecting upon the immutability of
life—the sameness of existence—we
are prone to grow weary and, in com
mon slang, exclaim. “What’s the use?”
But life is what we choose to make it
—happy like the existence of millions
gone before us, or miserable like other
millions who have returned to dust.
And then that hope of a better land
—a brighter life—that springs into the
breast of every human being without
reference to his religion or denomina
tional belief!
It is this germ of an immortal here
after which perhaps inspires us to
strive for a higher human existence,
and which doubtless drives away
thoughts of giving up in despair.
Ten years ago an Allen county, Kan.,
farmer put his initials on a dollar bill.
The next day he went to the rearest
town and spent it with a merchant.
Before the year was out he got the dol
lar back. Four times in six years the
dollar came back to him for produce,
and three times he heard of it in the
pockets of his neighbors. The last
time he got it back was five years ago.
He sent it to a mail-order house. He
has never seen that dollar since, and
never will. That dollar will never pay
any more school or road tax for him—
will never build nor brighten any of
the homes of the community. He sent
it entirely out of the circle of useful
ness to himself and neighbors.
Brown—“I say. Jones, can you tell
me who was the greatest financier that
ever lived?”
Jones—“No, I can’t.”
Brown—“Well, it was Noah.”
Jones—"How do you make that
out?”
Brown —“Well, Noah was able to
float a company when the whole world
was in liquidation.”

Here is one case of it:
A. G. W. Foster, living near North
Jackson street, Newnan, Ga., says: “I
would not take one hundred dollars for
the good Doan’s Kidney Pills afforded
me; in fact, I can say that they have
made a new man out of me. Probably
due to advanced age, my kidneys were
badly out of order and caused such in
tense pain through my loins that I
could hardly get about. At night I was
restless and unable to sleep and would
arise in the morning tired and worn
out. My general health was being
gradually undermined and I was at a
loss to know what to do. The kidney
secretions were very scanty and quite
frequent in action. When I procured
Doan’s Kidney Pills at Lee Bros’, drug
store, I hardly thought that they would
help me, as I had used so many reme
dies without any benefit. I soon
changed my opinion of them, however,
as I nad taken them only a short time
when every symptom of ray trouble
was banished. I am now in the best of
health, considering my age, and only
wish I could let every sufferer from
kidney trouble know of the great value
of Doan’s Kidney Pills.”
