I however, if our ancient friend
was making its jab at the “slier

errors appearing in the present
ments, why did it not correct all
the errors appearing in that pub
lication f As it did not do this.
The News will call attention to a
few errors.
The Herald and Advertiser
corrected the error making the
jury say: “We find the public
highways generally in good con
dition,” and the error in reference
to misdemeanor cases, 'flic jury
said the highways were found
“generally ‘not’ in good condi
tion,” and its refererenee was to
| “liquor misdemeanor” cases and
not to all misdemeanor cases
the Herald and Advertiser did not
make correction of several other
errors.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF COWETA COUNTY.
’Phono No. 20.
OFFICE UP STAIRS IN THE WILCOKON BLDG
OUR SORE CONTEMPORARY.
An editorial in last week's Her
aid and \dvertiscr, under the cap
tiun “SherilV's Organ Makes a Dis
coven." indicates that oar ancient
contemporarx fretted itself into a
\er\ ill natnred state of feeling on
account of The News' allusion to
its laughable performance in mud
dling the grand jury presentments;
and, as tlie facts in this case will
furnish hilariU for a large section
of country, and as The News is al
ways willing to aid the populace
in worthy efforts to make life en
joyable and amusing, we’ll pro
eeed to \ ontilute the matter some
more.
before entering into a discussion
of the tacts in the case, however,
The News will make a few prelim
inary remarks.
In the opening sentence of its
editorial the Herald and Advertis
er says that “Alter many months
of weary watching and straining.
The News has discovered two little
errors” in its columns.
The Herald and Advertiser is
mistaken. The errors uumlx'red
at suit a dozen.
The Herald and Advertiser is
mistaken again in assuming that
we lm\e accepted the position of
proof render on its staff. We
don’t road it w ith enough absorb
ing interest and cure to justify us
in accepting any salary whatever
as its expert detector of errors.
In fact, we are rather careless in
perusing the Herald and Adver
tiser's pages, and hardly ever have
on hand any air urate information
in reference to the wads of wis
dom and nuggets of news our old
friend is delivering to the public
tiou luiil been directed In that pa
per by a number of citizens. These
citizens discovered the discrepan
cies in the Herald and Advertiser's
publication of the presentments,
compared w ith the presentments as
published in The News.
However, our careless reading of
the Herald and Advertiser during
several “months of weary watch
ing” has “discovered” to us an
assortment of errors, which, if we
had been seeking opportunity lor
“criticism," would have afforded
ample opportunity for the same.
The fact that The News has made
no collection of the misinformation
contained in the infallible Herald
and Advertiser during the past
few “weary" months, effectually
answers its wail that it expects
nothing hut criticism from this pa
per.
As the public has doubtless no
ticed, the Herald and Advertiser
delights to refer to The News as
the “sheriff’s organ." This epi
thet is all right if applied in the
proper spirit; hut it is evident that
our old friend is sore in spirit and
distracted in mind because The
News IS the “sheriff's organ."
The News is not disposed to gloat
over its contemporary’s discomfi
ture in losing the official patron
age; and our readers w ill bear w it-
ness to the fact that we have inn er
referred to this matter in connec
tion with the Herald ami Adver
tiser; but. if the Herald and Ad
vertiser is happy only when caus
ing itself pain by exposing this
sore to the public gaze. The New s
is not responsible for the tact.
The Herald and Advertiser
closes its little speech to The New s
w ith this lame sentence:
"The foregoing explanation is
made merely for the information
of our readers, hundreds of whom
do not six 1 The News at all, and
probably never will.”
The News does not know how
many of the Herald and Adver-
by the Judge and Solicitor; and
the errors it mentions were due to
the fact that the jury afterwards
revised the presentments. If this
be true, will the Herald and Ad
vertiser please explain how it is
that its presentments do not tally
with the “original draft" nor with
tlie revised presentments?
11 ere are some points of differ
cnee between the Herald and Ad
vertiser’s presentments and the
“original draft” and the revised
presentments’: beginning with
the lirst paragraph and continuing
through the Herald and Advertis
er's presentments, we lind the fol
lowing discrepancies:
The substitution of "make” for
“submit;" of “maintaining” for
“for maintenance;” the omission
of “as superintendent;” the omis
sion of “several districts" and sub
stitution of “county;" the substi
tution of “causes” for “cases;”
the substitution of “appears” for
“is put;” the substitution of
“searching” for “dose;” the omis
sion of “county;” the omission of
“intoxicating.”
Kvidently, the “weary" and
“strained” proof- reader of the
Herald and Advertiser made liber
al application of the blue pencil to
that “original draft.’’ Strange to
by keep your money in circulation
at home and help to build up local
business enterprises.
The giand jury of (iwinnett
raised the tax returns of citizens
of that comity to the amount of
♦200,000. Hundreds of citizens
were caught in the raise for sums
ranging from less than ♦lOO to
above ♦2,000. The path of the lax
dodger is evidently becoming more
difficult and uncertain as the days
go by.
