The Herald likes 1o cronicle the
return of such good people to
their former home, and we hope
that their health at the Hill,
where the beauty of nature and
good health abounds will be of
long duration.
Yearly Trip—Mr. Jesse Vick
ery is taking his annual trip to
Waycross to dey. It has been
his habit for the past several
years to go to Waycross to attend
the Memorial Service there and
escort those veterans of Charlton,
who have astanding in vitation to
be t'ie guests of Ware County Ve
terans. Messrs. John Vickery

Meets Saturday. —The Truck
Growers Association is called to
‘meet Saturday afternoon at three
o'clock at Mr. Hursey office. If
‘you farm you should join and stay
in the Association, If you own
land you should certeinly be there
to a’d the movement that means
the agricuitural development of
our county. If we all co-operate
there can be no failure but bear
this in mind, ofticers never won a
war withoutmen. [his movement
must be made a success by work
ers. as the leaders "must have ful-‘
lowers to make it a success.
1 Census Completed.—The
completion of data for the school
census is in hand. witii the excep
tions of afew colored. people.
Perhaps a few skipped and if so
we would say that it means a loss
of $6 per head to the school fund
if so, so if you have been over
looked speak to Mr. Wrench or
Supt. Harris apout it at once, giy
‘ing date of birth of child.
Adds Ten.—We feel cheerful
over the fact that we Lave added
ten new subscribers to our list the
‘past week, and if our old ones
‘will just come in and renew and
bring a friendor two the encour
agement will be such as to show
them of our appreeiation by an
Lapeoic gue e e o
o r when a little en
couragement is thrown our way,
so your thoughtful manuerrenews
efforts for a better paper.
Shame Boys.—Last Sunday
some of our boys feelingas if «
bath would do them good, visited
the Buchanan pond, and when the'
shower came up, ran naked to a|
vacant house, in full view of homes
where ladies sat on porches.
Now the bans have been put on
bathing at this place. and if you
use it without Dr. Buchanan’s per-|
mit vou are in trouble. It pays to‘
be decent and boys should remem- |
ber that one disgraceful act makes'
it tough on cther boys, so why
not those who want to ezct rightk
remember that their influence can
correct these vicious actsand pro
tect them in their pleasures.
New Chicken.—Ordinary H
G. Gibson is ordinary no longer
haying passed in to the extra-ordi
nary class. The past week a ship
‘ment of a breed of chicken was re
ceived by him—the Kiwis. It can
not fly and a two foot fence is u
puzzle to them. it hasno fenthersl
but are covered with down, and
we suppose it cant go up over two
feet because of its down garb. |lf
they prove good qualities we may
irade some high«fiyers for them
One on Steve—Steve Gibson
“heard of the sale of Gowan's 600
head of range cattle and express
led the opinion that they were not
worth the reported price of S2O
per head. So a buyer overheard it
and began Joshing Steve, and the
result was a visit to his farm and
in the early morning, Steve was
surprised to find our Sol Mills on
hand with check book in hand just
calling Steve’s hand. Steve et
them go—32 head, and yet he fig
ures they are not worth the price,
and wonder why they pay such
lpticel. because he hated 10 meer
with teroptation ahd fall for it.

FOLKSTON, GEQRAIA® FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1928
Train Load of Cattle Moves
. Shortly from Folkston.
. Charlton County’s first train
load of cattle is abour to be ship
ped to the market and pastures
new and green elsewhere.
~ With the saie of over six hun
dred head of range cattle by the
'Georgia—Florida Investment Co.,
toJ. W. Mullsaps who represents
his Atlanta firm, and ‘purchases
from Keaneth Hopkins, Lewis
Stokes. Daniel Hickox. and others
the shipment wil'l approximately
run over close to 2,000 head,
| The shipment is to be made
within ten days from Folkston
and will constitu'e not only the
largest shipment ever madé from
here. but the biggest price ever
paid for range cattle in the bis
tory of cattle raising in the county.
The basis of the selling was at S2O
per head.
_ Indollars and cents this deal
will place something like $40,000
cireulation in Charlton and
amdfil. some coming from the
rim of that county.
. "Sume of our people look upon
the sale of all this stock in a dif
ferent manner, but some of the
sellers intimate that they closed
ouit Jock-stock and barrel because
they wished to start a better breed
of stock and this was tze first op-l
"u‘it%dthev ever had where in
they could close out all sorts of
" fik.,‘ most biugers only wished
mhm question but that
* breeding ~will result but
the wholesale selling may some
what reduce nroduction, and if
we can prevail upon our farmers
who have retained their stock to
get ria of the range scrub bull we
shall then have profitted by the
transaction greatly.
The Herald feels assured that
the price paid is an incentive to
stockmen to look after the busi
ness as a great future possibility
of the county.
Georgia’s Jails Improved
New One for Charlton.
Conditions in most of Georgia's
county jails are continually im
proving though much still remains
to be ~'une, nccording to Hugh N.
Fuller. Assistant Secretary of the
State Department of Public Welfare
in a round table conference of jail{
visiting chairmen at the recent
State Conference on Social Work|
held at Columbus. The Depart-.
ment inspects all jails in the state‘
and has prepared a hdndbook on
them for the use of officials, Jails
are inspected and visited in most
counties by local commiltees and
the committee in Charlton is com
posaed of Mrs. Rosa M, Toy, Dr. A,
Fleming and Mr. J. C. Littletield,
At this time, when a new Court
\House must be built, and the prop
er jall facilities are so urgent, this
Icommi'ee is urging the four clas
sifications required — segregation
'of the two races and sexes, with
provisions for taking care of sick
or diseased prisoners.
This public spirited committee
are havingthe co-opzration of our
people and the Herald feels sure
the Commissioners, knowing the
unsafe and cramped condition to
the present structure. makes it un
fit to house men and woman, and
disgraceful if both white and col
ured happen to be incarnated at
the same. The building of a new
Ijlil would be a goud solution to
our present problem.

of 7 to 5.
Except for the first inning, when
a hit and several errors pave Pat
terson a four run lead. Cox pitch

practice for the beginning of the
league by games now scheduled,
but not with the teams of the
League, except Patierson and
Nichols.
The Herald hopes that the boys
will be given every possible sup
port, as we uuderstand each tesm
pays its own expenses, the pate
receipts of each town going to the
ome team. Lets back with boys
with our presence and our means
its a good advertisement for a
town to have a winning ball club’
The scheduled adopted follows:
