SAM I,. TKIMMIKR.
To the Public.
I recently published an ed¬
itorial in The Dalton Argus,
referring to the charge of
Judge A. W. Fite to the
Grand fury of Bartow Supe¬
rior Court, January term,
1906, on the subject of gam¬
bling, and used the following
language:
“As the news comes to The
Argus, the grand jurors did as
they had been bidden, and as
all honest men do under such
circumstances when put in pos¬
session of the facts. They got
right down to business and in
but a mighty little while, more
than no time at all, stirred up
the very biggest sort of a sensa¬
tion in the camp of those crafty
Garters ville “high steppers,” to
who had been kind enough
take care of the callow Dalton
drummer’s employer’s loose
change for him. Now, as the
rumor goes, this same grand jury
not onceithinking that they were
doing the least wrong, or at the
slightest variance with tjie heal
wishes of the minions of the law,
called the bluff, scrutinized and
romanced around with a few
witnesses, and if they had not
been discovered just at the time
they were, would have returned
indictments against NINE of
those high steppers and pet swells
down in the good old town of
congress-making Oartersvile.
“Landsakes, what an awful es¬
cape !”
“And Dame Rumor further
avers that had this jury been
let alone those dear society
sprouts would have been indicted
“exposed,” disgraced and adver¬
tised.
“Madam Rumor timidly sug¬
gests that right here is where
the superior advantage comes of
having a handy and accommo¬
dating court.
“And to save this immune
bunch from the exposure and
supreme mortification of a pub¬
lic trial it is said they went to
the handy court and it was agreed
that they could come to a “star
chamber” sitting of Bartow
court in a private place, separate
and apart from the court room,
plead guilty and pay their tines.
This was done it is said.”
The said editorial was bas¬
ed on rumors which 1 thought
were reliable and I published
the same, believing that the
rumors therein stated were
true, r.nd without any ill will
toward Judge Fite. I further
state, that after publishing
the said editorial, 1 went to
Cartersville and after a thor¬
ough investigation, found that
the rumors stated in said
editorial are incorrect and
without foundation. I make
this statement as a matter of
justice to Judge Fite.

The above article appeared
in the Dalton Argus last week
and shows Mr. lleartsill in
his true light, lie is ready,
always, to “shell down the
corn” when he is wrong and
shows that he is made from
the right kind of clay. Any
gentleman will apologize
when he sees he is wrong.
It is to be hoped this bitter
wrangle between these gen¬
tlemen is nearing the end—
that this is the beginning of
the end and that old
prophecy about the lion and
lamb lying down together be
fulfilled.
If the rainy weather we are
having don’t break up in a
blizzard we will have a fine
crop of peaches. There are
several thousand trees in this
country which have never
borne a crop but will have a
full one this year if something
does not happen to destroy
it. With the facilities we
will have for shipping we are
in better shape than any coun¬
ty in Georgia.
The farmeisof Murray are
making long strides towards
another crop and it is to be
hoped, for the good of
every one concerned, that
they plant a very small crop
of cotton. If every man goes
on and thinks that everybody
but himself is going to reduce
their acreage and that he will
make a fortune by planting
everything he can in cotton,
the result will be that every¬
body will plant large crops
and when the time comes to
sell, about 7 cents will be the
top of the market.
Apostrophe to the Hog.
You will never know the trou¬
ble and pleasuie of life until you
raise hogs. They are a bother
and a vexation to the spirit of
man while they live, but bring
joy and contentment to the soul
of man when they die at hog¬
killing time, The American
hog, however, is the dad-blamed
est, split-hoofed, long-snouted
busy-body animal we ever saw.
He can make a fellow madder
than any other animal that in¬
fest the premises. He will al¬
ways squeal and muddy your
pants when he knows you are
trying to feed him. He will get
into your garden through a knot
hole and destroy enough produce
in three minutes to feed your
wife and children for three
months, lie will pay no atten¬
tion to a wide-open gate where
you want him to go through, but
will shovel out several cubic
yards of dirt to make a hole into
a place you don’t want him to
go. lie is the biggest nuisance
and most profitable on the farm.

Darkey Confers Titles.
A number of congressmen were
one day joking with a colleague
from Kentucky, with respect to
the well known penchant of men
of that state for “courtesy”
titles. “Why,” said one of the
representatives, “it’s a notorious
fact that every man in Kentucky
is a colonel or a major.” The
Kentuckian smiled. “We’re not
the only southern guilty of that
weakness,” said he, “Joel Chan¬
dler Harris once observed to me
that in Georgia it was nearly as
bad. He had a theory to the
effect that the colored population
were in a measure responsible.”
“How’s that?” asked some one.
“Oh” continued the Bluegrass
man, “Harris said that when a
negro had once dubbed one with
a ‘courtesy’ title, the habit soon
became general in the commun¬
ity. ‘Give a Georgia negro a
“chaw” of tobacco,’ he added,
and you’re straightaway a
“Cap’nhand him a quarter,
and you find yourself a “Col¬
onel;” present him a dollar and
you’re a “General” for life, but
just throw him an old suit of
clothes and a couple of drams of
corn liquor, and the result will
he that he’ll raise his children to
address you as “Governor.—Live

A LETTER
TO PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BUY GOODS
Now I don’t propose to cut anybody’s price on Goods for I
am not running anybody’s business but my own, and can hardly
do that. I buy goods as cheap as I possibly can, and sell them
as high as I can, owing to my ability to sell them, The reason
other people or merchants get more lor goods than I do is
because they salesman than I am. Flie plain truth is, we all
sell ,, as , high . , as our ability , .... will •.! allow n us. Now, for instance, I
cret OIllv 5 _ CClltS lot* „ YV 111- Simpson’s Calicoes, while other mer
c p auts can ^ et (i and 7 cents per yard; I get 10 cents for Suspen
that other merchants sell lor 25 cents per pair. I sell 20
pounds ol Granulated Sugar lor 81.00, while other merchants can
se |J |(3 to Jg pounds 1 for $1.00.
So now if you are a businss person and mean the best for
J 1
yourself and dont want any taffey, I can and will please you in
goods and prices. Now remember the New Store at Dejour
uette’s old stand where you can buy anything in the General
Merchandise line, from a Paper of Pius to a Cook Stove.
And also remember that I am going to give away absolutely
a No. 8 Range Cook Stove. Come and see for yourself.
will be glad to see you.
Yours truly,
HULL KERR.

portuned to take our own make. We like to treat our
