It is of vital importance that she q-jcl?ty and quantity of the cotton of our
section should be kept at the highest standard. A county with a reputation
for growing fine cotton always has plenty of buyers—competition brings top
prices. After thoroughly investigating SALSBURY Cotton and the high
standing of the firm that produces it, we believe its introduction would be a
great benefit to our community and have undertaken its distribution in this
vicinity.

Circumstances - Forcing Scarecrow
John Barleycorn Steadily Toward
Blink of Oblivion.
Atlanta, Ga., January 28.—Chorts
of the whisky clique in Atlanta and
vicinity, moonshiners, transporters,
■ end bootleggers—all of ’em—are go
ing broke—dead broke.
! Buffeted by battering ram raids
, that have torn into their resources
j with the precision of a clock pendu
lum swinging one way and then back
again, coffers of the booze traffic
are being drained, slowly but none
the less surely.
With a pint or two always in the
hip pocket and a roll of long green)
in another, bootleggers of a year ago
were plying a profitable trade—fill
ing leaks made in their money bags
i by John Law with other shekels pro
cured by intensified sales.
But pockets that a year ago were
well lined with Jewish silk are today
inhabited only with clinking coppers
—comparatively speaking.
Like the hand of fate prodding a
marked man to his doom, a choice
’ collection of circumstance:; are forc
ing a scarecrow John Barleycorn
steadily toward the brink of oblivion
—and his helpless followers are be
ing swept along the same tide.
While law enforcement agencies
ra operating with somewhat improv
ed efficiency—making jt a bit harder
’or ’ledgers of today to escape—it is
not particularly due to the fact that
the whisky traffic is en route from'
riches to rags on a greased road.
It is the accumulation of years of
work since the Volstead act sang
John Barleycorn’s requiem when the
old scoundrel faked a funeral accord
ing to those “in the know.” Founda
tion for the ruin was laid when first
raiders entered a seemingly hopeless
battle with the liquor ring.
This coupled with a better spirit
of co-operation on the part of the
public—plus wiser laws and famili
arity of law enforcement forces with
the ground on which they were
treading, is breaking up the booze
traffic by breaking its members.
Of course the. “higher ups” are
still making money, but the constant
rap-tap-tap of John Law’s club on
their treasury doors is becoming
“most annoying.” They are not so
able to back their employes and con
sequently the “hip pocket man”—the
backbone of the business—is having
the hardest row to hoe in his life.
DEATH OF AN INFANT
James Wilson, the infant son of
Mr. and Mrs. Guy Gunter, died at
their home in Atlanta Sunday, and
the remains were brought here Mon
day for funeral and interment. Rev.
L. E. Smith preached the funeral at
the home of Mrs. A. W. Gunter with
interment in the new cemetery. The
baby' was the grandson of Mr. Ivtej-'f
son Russell.

FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER.
Having been solicited by many
good citizens from every section of
the county to make the race for
county commissioner, I hereby an
nounce my candidacy for said office
at the primary electiod, and should
I he elected I pledge myself tc- dis
charge all duties of the office.
Here are a few items that I am
not in favor of, and some that I am:
I don’t believe in a county com
missioner being clerk of hoard of
eommisioners.
I am not in favor of convicts
staying in winter quarters the year
round, and being transported to
their work in trucks.
Am not in favor of the county be
ing cut in three departments, for
there is more or less friction with
board of commissioners.
Believe in the tax payers knowing
twice a year by an itemized state
ment through the papers where their
money has been spent. *
In favor of all road taxes being
spent in the district where it was
collected.
Under the system that Gwinnett
county has been run for several
years, I can’t see why a man can’t
save the county at least $3,000 per
year.
Respectfully,
W. B. HOPSON.
To the Voters of Gwinnett County:
After due consideration I have de
cided to enter the race for the olfice
of county commissioner and ask that
you give my candidacy careful con
sideration when casting your oallot
at the next white primary. If elected
I promise to give the people the best
of service possible and with no spe
cial favors to anyone. It will be my
aim to spend the county’s money as
economically as possible with the
idea of reducing expenses wherever
possible in order that the county tax
rate may be reduced.
