COMMUNICATED.
Please allow me, through your
villuable paper to say a few words
to the people of this county in re
gards to the public roads of our
-county, as I have traveled over the
principle roads in the county and
feei that 1 am a competent judge
and am sorry to say that they are in
_¥ery bad condition.
It we had the hustling and enter
_prising officers in the county that !
“sowme of our sister counties have, we
_would show a greater tendency to |
“wards civilization, as good roads |
are a leader in that direction. 1
There are enough crimes commit-i
ted-in Charlton County to keep a
suficient number of convicts on the
public roads at all times to yput them
and keep them in good condition.
We need active officers to ferret out
the crimes. The county court has
sent up enough convicts to put the
" roads of the county in good condi
.tion. A county chain gang should:
b: organized and the convicts kept
at home, The writer has never fa
vored the promiscuous arrest of the
vnfortunates who happen to be pass
ing through Folkston, beating his
way on one of the many trains, and
perhaps making an honest effort to
reach some place where he could andi
would make an honest living, but’;
" the vdgrancy law should be vigor
ously applied to those who hang a
round and wont work. Qur sheriff
should keep a close watch for the
gambler, the pistol to‘tgra,, the pet
ty thief and the whisky.seller. But
alus! few of these cases ever reach
the coutt unless brought by the
grand jnry.’ If such matters werp
looked after more closely by she
sheriff ard deputies there would |be
less for the grand jury to do, anid
the county court would be one of
~the greatest blessings the con oty Eas
“ever had in- ffie!gri;], * en!fi -M g

Now, lets get to work and start the
wheels of civilization to roliing:

HON. E L. WALKER
FOR SOLICITOR.
- To-day we present to our readers
“the pleasing announcement of Hon.
E. Lawion Walker, of Pierce Coun
ty-long and well known to the peo
yle of Appling County. for Solicitor
‘General of the ‘Brunswick Judicial
Cirenit, S ‘
The mere fact that Lawton Walk
er- has represented Pierce three
terms as representative in the legis~
lature and three terms as state sen
ator from the third district does not
necessarily entitle him to_ the posi
tion to which he aspires, but the
more logicai reason why his ambi
tion shculd be satisfied is his pecul }
iar fitness for the office. His abili—'{‘
'ty as a lawyer and his course in life
ag regards his moral duty are un-‘
questioned by those of us who know
him best,
As a mixer Col. Walker has but
few cquals, His natural turn for
making friends among all classesl
has had the desired efféct in this
bailiwick and his friends insist that
oid Appling will be fouad in the
Walker column after the battle is
over.—Baxley Banner, ‘

BURIED IN FOLKSTON.
The remains of Mr. J. W, Leigh,;
of Waycross, but formally of Charl
ton County, were brought down
Saturday afternoon and interred in
the Leigh burying ground here, He
died from pneumoriia and had been
sick eleven days. The deceased
was 71 years old, znd besides a wife
is survived by four children; Mrs.
W. R. Wainright, of Folkston, Mz.
O. R: Leigh, of Tampa, Mr. J. L.
Leigh, of Hilliard and Mr. Frank
Leigh, of Amiston, Ala. There was
quite a crowd out to pay their last
tribme to the cld gentleman,
NEGRO SHOOTS
ANOTHER.
About 12 o’clock last Saturday
night two negroes went to the house
of another, at Uptonville, one call
ing him up, and the other putting a
load of shot from a shot ‘gun in his
shoulder, tearing it up badly, from
which, it is said, he can not recover.
. It seems that the negro that was
shot owed one of the others 7scts.
and the other rocts. It was agreed
that one should call him out and the
other should do the killing, the plan
was carried out to the letter and
without any previous quarrel or any
warning he was shot down. Purties
at Uptonville arrested the pair and
they are in jail here and do not hes
itate in telling all about it.
Folkston should wake up. There
are many things we need, for in
stance we need artesian water, we
need better roads (streets.) The town
council should see to it thai Folk
ston does not class with the town of
No-Good. ’
“Kind friend:, bave you eves
heard of the towa 5f No. Good, on
the banks of the river Slow, where
the Some-time-or-other scents the
air and tbe,;fpft Go-easies grow? It
lies 1 the valley.of What's the-use,
in the pm\f‘»‘,nce of Let-her slide; its
the home 'of the reckless I-don’t
care, where the Give-it ups abides.
The tovn is as old as the human
racey and it grcws with the flight of
years; it is wrapped in the fog of
the idler’s dreams; its streets are
paved with discarded schemes, and
/:ire,sprinkled with useless tears.
_ DEATH.OF JUDGE HADDOCK.
Charlton Couny Herald,
G T oS FNDY Gy
!ybfir paper to say a few words in re
gards to Judge Haddock’s death.
I feel that not only the county
but the eurrounding country has lest
one of the best citizens it has ever
possessed. He was a good man,
and in his death we have lost one
of the county’s old land marks, but
it is God who has bereaved us and
we can only look to him for couso
lation. _
' My heartfelt sympathy is with his
family in this time of trouble.

Elsewhere in this issue will be
found the announcement of Hon.
A. ]. Howard for re-election. Mr.
'Howard, whose friends pushed him
’mto the race two years ago, having
had a taste of public life, feels that
he can now serve the. people to bet=
iter advantage than before. He is
well known t 9 the penple of the coun
ty, having been engaged in teaching
school for a pumber of years, is now
p-esident ot the boare of edcucation
and needs no eulogy at our hands.
He is thoroughly interested in the
welfare of this county, is publicly
spirited and honest without a fault,
He favors the extension of the state
road to St. Marys with the working
of the state convicts, We know of
no better man for the place and feel
that the people of Charlton County
will make no mistake in sending
him for another term.

~ HOME STUDY.
. V' hile walking down the streets in
l?ity once I noticed a gentleman
‘Eqfi;gad of me who in speaking to peo
E;%J)e met, did not always - addres:

i re 1 came to and asked who he

f’&?me;l of him epeaking differcnt‘
lénguages and received the reply
fihe had never entered college
z:&d.tg‘ad spent but a few days in
¢dmmon school, but he was the
1% t scholar in the city. I was
#xious to meet the home-made
gßntleman of so much culture, but
Emt long, for an opportunity was
#9on presented, From his conver
;iwn I found that he was reared in
#he country seventeen miles from
town, and being left an orphan at
f early age he was forced to work
;‘;fijflthe farm to support his mother
46d himself. He borrowed books
i the neighborhood and studied
ghem ot night. This home study
Bad brought him the deserved name
;g,'h_:il)g‘the. best scholar in every
fi'}ghbo_rhood in which he had ever
Qd. He had a reading knowledge

" @nfiup numerous excuses. But
in my opinion &ny one can acquire
; ral education at home if he
é«g; EUH Gt oday
| are soiwritten thal ‘one can ‘leiin
the conitents at home ~and thereby
'xefééive a certain amount of ad
vancement, Prof. E C. Branson
says, “You may not be able to go
to college, but you can study the
same books and learn them at home”
“There 1s no royal road to learu
ing’ for any. Ia school or at home,
the rich and ‘poor, the great and
small if they would leara must study
for themselves. The money of the
'rirh, the greatness of forefathers, or
our own standing in a community
will not keep us from studying if we
would leara, We cannot buy, nor
can it be given.
All have the same number of
hours in the year. The difference
in after life to a great extent de
pends upon how we use these hours.
The one who spends two hours .a
day at home n study may not ad.
vance as rapidly as the one who
spends six in school, but it has been
shown by thousands of splendid ex
amples that the home study does
smount to something. In fact his
tory shows less instances of men
who depended entircly on school
for help springing into greatness
than the ones who siudied at3home.
Lincoln, Jeff Davis, George Wast{x’
ington, W. J. Bryan present senator
from Florila, and others have de
pended upon home study in part or
entirely for their advancement, |
“Then since we have so many men
of pluck and push who have gone
on to greater heights mainly by
home study the question should no¢
now be put up, “Can a man learn at
homer” Neither should any one
say he had no opportunity.
Do not understand me to urge
home study in preference to school
or college—no, not at all. They
do a great work and their werk s
far superior to the blind study one
does at home, But boys can visit
neighbors even when they do not
‘know the way, and although hc;/
‘may get lost, and it takes them
longer to go than the ones that are
led, still they can by trying get
there after awhile, Therefore |
should say, “Young man, if you can't
get a whols loaf, take a pa:t; if you
can't go to college or university and
learn it all, you can surely stay at|
home and learn a little.” (
