CHARLTON COWNTY HERALD VOL‘ XQ"‘NO. 390 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 . crime, an buildindg up its highways, Now, lets get to work and start the wheels of civilization to roliing: A Tax Payer. 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. | j = W. E. Suces. 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. Suffering & Dollars saved. ! E,S. Loper, of Marilla, N. Y., says: “lam” a carpenter and have had many severe cuts healed by !Bucklens Arnica Salve It has saved me suffering and doilars, It by far !the best healing salve I have ever |found." Heals burns, sores, ulcers, fever sores, eczema and piles. 25¢ at all druggist How about that cleaning up ordi nance? It is one of the best that will be passcd by the present coun- ! cil and it should be rigidly enforced. | A general inspection of all premi,g'l es should be made each month. FOLKSTON, GA.

Wasdin made a trip to Uptonville Monday, Lige says he likes to trade too. The operator says it makes him somewhat unhappy to think of the expense and trouble he has put him. self to in preparing, beautifying and adorning his little cottage on eest Buffalo St. and now none of the fair sex seem to realize his necessity for a help meet. We hope some of the young and and fair lassies will sympatize with him as that melan choly look is about.to take posses sion of the face which heretofore has been ever radiant with smiles. Mr. J. W. Dixon is cutting quite a lot of good shingles with his new shingle laill, ' ’ Mr. R. F. Anderson came up from Ncwell-Monda}' for a short stay. limes are getting better at Wino kur.

Mayor Smith says he has it in for thoss fel lows who have no regard for lawi aud good order. and he expects to stop them or do some good having them grade the streets of Winokur.

BRINKLEY. ~ 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: them in Eaglish. 1 was surprisec afthis and I stopped at the firs: i re 1 came to and asked who he WHs. -To this T was told that he F $ a minister in the city. I men 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 @ A@ve languages. : ' { * Now, 1 meet people who say they {Bad no opportunity to get an educa g i “Others sa y the teachers were %Ud and there are others " stili " @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.” ( SPTA% 100 LOOK For T.OUBLE | '(' lif you obtain a Fi-earm of doub'- | @/7 X\ ful qu lily REPMEENNS Tho expert need Huator's and & 2V C 3 ;i‘ ¢ ?,' Marksman's Ideal TR 4 Isa reliabla, unerring STEVENS 1A £ P\ FIND OUT WHY { k e, by shooting our popular \ » f RIFLES—SHOTGUNS ¥y 4 PISTOLS ‘ (/ Ask your local Hardware Lo &8 or Eporting Goods Mer- B AR chant for the STRVINK, iTI Mlf you cannot obtain, we /’.,/ BXA ship direct, express pre ‘V/,,‘ Y, pald, upon receipt ol Cata. i log Price.
