There is a great deal of satisfaction derived in giving jurtree to the
other fellow. It is like going a long way round to get the short route home
sometimes, hut in the end it counts up well. In designating justice rn the
terms assigned, it does not mean placing all the bad things a man may have
t > his credit, but rather putting the best there is forward. It ravors of any
thing but the commendable for eternal nagging to be participated in by any
body and after a fight is lost it only adds to the bitterness of the strite to
keep up the issues bv some pessimistic theory, hatched out by the unfortun
ate and regretted step of somebody endeavoring to do good.
There never was any disgrace in failing when honest effort was put
forth, but there is some cpiestion as to the merit in a fellow keeping the in
dependent spirit when the wor'd knows the other side of the case and doubts
if honest worth is back of the actions. Nobody will (ail to give assistance
when a brother struggles to overcome difficulties, but there are thousands
who will give succor to those in distress when they are struggling to climb
over obstacles almost insurmountable. Nobody can achieve anything that
goes contrary to the good will of mankind and especially is this a splendid
time to begin anew some higher, hobler aim, a time to look upward to some
attainment below the common level.
Join hands in taking this step, forget the bitterness back yonder, if you
have such an epoch in your life and let the world see that a n.an is left of
the wreck, that there is something yet to Ire hoped for in the thing we call
existence. It is something worth striving for and when you take the step
you make life sweeter, lighten the burdens of loved ones and make the road
of life smoother for many others.
TRADING WITH lllilHfc FOLK.
Join the early shopping procession
and get busy trading.
Milledgcville will he in a rush next
week. Huy your goods now.
The merchants mid thoir salesmen are
worth consideration, Buy now.
Trade with men who advertise in The
News. They are all good folk.
Wo want you to come early and till c
your choice of the nest things.
Merchants, just hUe everybody else,
have more than they can do occasional
ly-
There is n stir going ubout over the
country concerning mail order busi
ness, There is no doubt hut that it
works to the detriment of the home
town and its upbuilding. There is
another feature too. that must be
brought into consideration and that
is the business givm the express
combine. There is not a town in this
] country now where the express com-
- panics are not acutally operating
commissaries, so to speak, in distribut
ing goods and their store rooms resem-
I ble a crowded store. Together with
other articles of merchandise may be
I found whiskey anil other goods of
I similar character.
These things take away money from
home, tho carrying charges in small
i|unntities eats up any possible savings
' ciirect to tho purchaser and the local
merchant, the man upon whom you will
cull in time of need, suffers in con
sequence. There is no doubt hut that
in nine cases cut of ton tho home
merchant will actually save you money
i on these purchases when quality is
considered. And then a loyal citizen
owes a certain amount of duty to up
building his town.
You can put us down for favoring
anything that points toward the elimin
ation of such evil. In the first place
tho express companies charge too much.
They can claim nothing from tho people
and sooner or later parcels post will
c.une ti rob them of Home of their
glory. Wo are willing for the man out
in the c.iuntry here to son I to Milledgo-
ville t’or his ten-pound package ami have

GEORGIA'S WHISKY STANDING
One of the first states to join the
ranks of prohibition was Georgia and
yet the internal revenue of the federal
government has just issued a report
which Bhows that Georgia liquor dealers
are more numerous today than ever.
Tho report in question states 18 whole
sale dealers aie licensed, that 1,091 re
tail dealers hold immunity from feder
al interference. In addition to this the
federal government has stopped 391
illicit,or moonshine distilleries during
the past year.
This report places Georgia in the lead
in tho wav of doing a liquor business,
especially when viewed from the stand
point of population. The fact that such
a state of affairs is allowed to exist
Hpeaks poorly for Georgia officials.
Thera is something radically wrong
with a local and state government or
ganization that allows the operation of
over a thousand illegal saloons, the pro
prietors of which fear only fedeial
trouble ana protect themselves on this
score by obtaining licenses.
Politics are probably at the bottom of
it, hut with all the boasted defence of
tho law which is promised, or was pro
mised, it seems that those entrusted
with its enforcement are sadly defi
cient—and about a thing, or article of
traffic that causes more pain and sor
row and crime than probably ail other
causes combined. How long will the
people stand for such a thing remains
to be seen, but in tho meantime the
facts ure figures are at hand and not
from a political source either.
THE STIR HI miTICS.
Down in the Tenth congressional
district, in which is included Hancock
and Wilkinson counties, adjoining Bald
win, they are planning a campaign
which in some respects may measure
up well alongside the famous days when
Watson was a prime factor in the case
Thos. W. Hardwick and Osweil R. Eve
are contestants and the campaign Is
being waged from Washington as well
as from Augusta. Without discussing
the methods followed by either it seems
quite certain that a mighty stir will
be marie in the old pot.
11 has been quite awhile since there
was a real congressional campaign in
the Tenth and the people may welcome
s me life in this line. If they don’t
then there wont be much doing. But it
may he that Tom Watson will tnke a
hand in the affair down there again and
ifhe does he will propably swaya power
ful hand, for already considerable
division has been manifeVed.
Knowing both the candidates and
havi"g a personal as well as public
interest in the matter we shall watch
developments with special care and
incidentally advise our many readers in
Wilkinson and Hancock of the progress
of the affairs in the district.
