fierald and Advertiser. NEWNAN, FRIDAY, SEP. 24. bABGKHT OUAKANTEKI) OOUNTKV 01 lt(T I.ATION IN FOirKTII OONOREHBIONAI, DISTRICT. Official Organ of Coweta County. Jar. E. Brown. Thos. R. Parrott. BROWN & PARROTT, Editors and Publishers. 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. LIST OF JURORS Drawn for the March Term, 1910, of Coweta Superior Court.

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. How’s This ?

The Herald and Advertiser, Newnan, Ga. —Gentlemen : As the card of Bro. F. 11. Rowell was published in your pa per last week (1 understand it was) — please do me the justice to publish the answer of the committee made through tho church clerk, a copy of which 1 en close. Y’ours truly, L. K. Smith. 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, DOMINICK MERCANTILE CO. POTTS &. APPLICATION FOR BANK CHARTER.
