SOT WILLING FOR HIM TO QUIT
Last year Congressman Gordon Lee,
of the Seventh district, announced that
he would not be a candidate for re
jection in 1910. Straightway various
and sundry aspirants began to boh up
in different parts of the district, each
with some particular claim to prefer
ment, and ail announcing a cheerful
willingness to servo the dear people.
Among the aspiring gentlemen who
named themselves for the Congression
al tourney wore .lodge Most! Wright of
Floyd, Hon. Mac. .Johnson of Bartow,
Hon. Sam Mattox of Whitfield, Hon.
ICufc Hutchens of Polk, and a few oth
ers not now remembered—not to men
tion .Judge Gus Fite, of Bartow, who
is of course a standing candidate. We
presume there can lie no question as to
Congressman Lee’s sincerity in desir
ing to withdraw from the turmoil of
political life. He has been twice hon
ored with a seat in Congress, has made
u faithful and hardworking member,
and has enjoyed all the glory and re
nown that is supposed to attach to the
cilice. But Congressman Lee has large
private interests which, in the nature
id' things, must have suffered during
his absence at Washington, and we can
understand why he might wish to re
main at home for a season. Yet when
a man once gets his consent to serve
the public he remains a public servant,
and may not gracefully surrender his
trust without first consulting the con
stituency that called him to office. Con2
pressman Lee is being pleasingly dis
ciplined in the ethics of officeholding
just now hy the action of his constitu
ent? in demanding that he return to
Congress for another term or several
terms,, th°y may elect—regardless
of his expressed wish to retire at the
expiration of his present term. A re-
.-uuiit dispatch from LaFayette to the
Komis Tribune-Herald gives some ink-
• ing oL the- feeling throughout the dis
trict regarding - the movement to make
Mr. Lee a candidate again, and is ns
follows:
i There is an almost unanimous desire
among the people of Walker county
that Gordon Lee he induced to make
‘•hf! naiw. for Congress again next year,
lupdwfufe Mr. Leo has stated that he
will net be a candidate, it is probable
iftrtf petitions will he circulated asking
him to reconsider and again make the
race for Representative from the Sev
enth district. Walker county has al
ways given Mr. Lee an almost solid
roto, and because of his successful el-
Korte in Congress to secure Govern
ment roads in different sections of the
county, and the probability that owing
to his important committee assign
ments he would lie able to do still
more for this county, as well as for the
entire district, the people of his home
rounCy are loath to see him retire from
their service. Business men, farmers,
and all classes, are of the opinion that
a change of Congressmen would he a
distinct loss to the district, and they do
not look with pleasure on the prospect
©f seeing their able Representative re
tire to private life.”
This testimonial is warmly indorsed
iiy the Dalton Argus, one of the most
influential newspapers in the district,
which says that “the people of the dis
trict have a right to ask and demand
that Mr. Lee lay aside his personal
wishes and insist that he return to Con
gress for the completion of his work,”
*«d adds—
“It is somewhat premature, it is
true, to bring this matter forward at
this time, inasmuch as it is nearly a
year until his successor is to lie chosen,
hut i'i will lie a kindness to the distin
guished gentlemen who are maneuver
ing for his seat if the people will put
them on notice as early as possible that
they intend sending Mr. Lee back to
Congress next year. Some of them
contemplate resigning lucrative offices
they now hold in order to make the
race for Congress ; others are doubtless
neglecting their private business while
looking after their political fences.
}f the people will be candid and tell
them plainly that no change is contem
plated in our present representation
in Congress they will be saved some
expense and much embarrassment.
Such, at least, is the firm conviction
ef those who have given the matter
thoughtful consideration.”.
We believe Mr. Lee meant what he
said when he announced some time ago
that he would not be a candidate for
n -election; but no tactics have, yet
>een devised that will enable a man to
successfully circumvent a popular up-
ri-ing such as appears to be fomenting
sji in the Seventh district, and if Mr.
Lee is not enrolled as a member of the
next Congress we shall be much sur
prised.
It is a splendid tribute to a public
servant when the people are so satis
fied with his work and worth that they
*re unwilling for him to quit
parole law was not in effect during the
first days of Gov. Smith’s administri -
tion, and clemency was then limited to
commutation or unconditional parden.
But, shucks! just wait and see the
figures for the last eleven days of
Gov, Brown’s administration, and
compare them with the pardons ]
granted during the last eleven days |
of Gov. Smith’s administration, j
There will be something to talk j
about then.
According to a bulletin issued this
week by the Department of Agricul
ture the total sales of fertilizers in
| Georgia for the season of 1908-9 were
834,295 tons, being an increase of 41,520
tons over those for the previous year.
In 1874 the total sales in this State
amounted to only 18,048 tons, and at
that time there were just 110 brands
I on the market. Now there are 2,274
I brands, and the total sales reach near-
| ly a million t< ns.
(lev. Brown has arranged to borrow
! $100,000 with whicii to pay the teachers
1 of the State a portion of the back sala-
ry due them. This step was taken for
| the reason that little money is expect-
| ed to come into the Treasurry from
i taxes before December. While the
sum is small, in comparison with the
amount due the teachers, it will help
some.
Judge Jos. S. Turner, chairman of the
Prison Commission, is reported criti
cally ill at his home in Putnam county.
It is said that all hope for his recovery
has been abandoned and his death is
only a question of a few days. Judge
Turner has been chairman of the Pris
on Commission since 1897, and is one of
the best-known men in the State.

We are unable to see any good to come
from the publication of the card at any
time. We regret that he owes other
debts.
Now, as to his going hungry, there
was no occasion for that. Any member
of our church would have divided a
meal with him at any time, and he
could have gotten credit for groceries
at the stores of two of our brethren,
who are merchants. Thi3 year his sal
ary from the three churches amounted
to 348 a month. We regret that Bro.
Powell so far forgot himself as to
write that card, as he did. He is a
young man of fine intellect, and should
be a power in the pulpit some day.
A. L. Williams,
Church Clerk for the Committee.
—The following is a very truthful re
mark: “The man who grows up in his
native town is regarded as a boy by his
elders until he is well started down the
declivity of life that ends in a hole.
The stranger who comes into a place is
more often pushed to the front than the
young man who has grown up with the
town. This is the reason why so many
young men become dissatisfied with their
home surroundings and long to cast their
lot in other quarters.”
- Don’t croak. Leave that to the
frogs. A few croakers, though, are
necessary in every community to meas
ure the rate of progress at which live
men are advancing.

please do me the justice to publish the
answer of the committee made through

Carrollton, Ga., Sept. 15, 1909.
To the Editors of the Free Press:
1 notice in the issue of your paper of
Sept. 9 a card from Bro. F. B. Powell,
stating to the people of Carrollton
wh.v he cannot pay his debts.
First, let me say a full settlement
had been made between him and the
church five days before the publication
of his card, as will appear further on.
He says the reason is that the church
was behind with his salary when he
tendered his resignation July 18—about
$12u. Now, I beg leave to state that
at that time the church owed him only
$32. as we understood it. and still un
derstand it. He claimed $00 more on
last year, which we denied. Two offi
cers of the church were at the same
time standing for him for about $120
for groceries, rent and money from
bank. On Aug. 7, after his resignation
had been presented, it was suggested
as a basis of settlement to allow his
salary up to Aug. 15, and allow him
the $60 he claimed as baiance from last
year, making in ail $120, and apply this
money to the debts secured by the two
officers of the church. This arrange
ment he flatly rejected at first, hut af
terwants (on Sept. 4.) he agreed to it,
on condition that the church appropriate
him the money and let him direct in
writing that it be applied to these
debts. This arrangement was agreed
to on both sides Sept. 4. and he was to
give the written order, which he subse
quently did. Witli this agreemnt a full
and final settlement was made between
him and the church. He is released
from the payment of these debts, and
has no further claim on the church for
snlary. He gets all he claimed. We
have his written statement. His card
Fall Announcement
Wlule we have been quiet, we have not been negligent of your interest or
ours. We have been very busy tilling our shelves with the most attractive line
of fall and winter goods that has ever been shown in Turin. We made the ven
ture last spring of putting in a line of ladies’ dress goods and trimmings, which,
though comparatively small, met with such gratifying approval from our friends
and customers that it stimulated us to greater effort, and we have now added
other attractive lines to our stock. We will carry this season a beautiful line of
ladies’ coat suits. (These suits have advanced in price since we purchased.)
We wish to call special attention to our stock of shirt-waists, silk petti
coats, and a number of other ready-made garments that we have to offer you.
We have also a complete assortment of ladies’ neckwear. In fact, all the
new things in ties for your inspection. Also, jet necklaces, fancy pins, shirt
waist sets, belts in a great variety of styles, fancy scarfs, hand-bags, and many
other articles too numerous to mention.
We are confident we can make you a better price that you have been ac
customed to paying, as the cost to us of doing business is much less than would
be the case in a larger town. We ask, in justice to yourselves, that you inspect
our stock before buying. Respectfully,
