VOL. XVI, No. 1 .]
JticUe Jones Orders Gall Court,
The October term of the superior
court adjourned Friday afternoon a
little before sunset after five days
busy session.
There were only one verdict of
not guilty returned during the
week, two cases continued by de¬
fendants, two settled upon pay¬
ment of costs, four were tried and
found guilty, nine forfeited their
bonds, eight cases were nolprosed,
twenty cases where defendants en¬
tered pleas of guilt, and one case,
that of Dr. \V. K. Evans, the jury
made a mistrial.
The session was the longest
White county lias had in many
years, and a call court lias been
ordered lo bear the case between
the subscribers to The Gainesville
& Northwestern Railroad and the
railroad company and the Guaran¬
tee Committee Friday, October
30th, and such other business as
may be agreed upon, the court to
convene at 9 A. M. Counsel for
the railroad fn conjunction with the
guarantee committee and the coun¬
sel for the subscribers have agreed
to accept for a jury to sit upon the
case, members of the two panels of
jury serving at the October term
of court for 1914 and the tst panel
drawn for the Spring term of court
1915, provided a jury can be se¬
cured out of them who are not re¬
lated nor signed the guarantee nor
an employee of the railroad. An
attempt was made to procure a
jury last week before court ad¬
journed to save summoning a new
jury but only two or three were
found who were not related to some
one who had subscribed to the
Jones^fta? building of tRp n^roi^D afSint, ^
;ipp?oV*eu the
and these jurors will be summoned
by frost a 1 card.
The subscribers are contending
that the railroad compauy has not
complied with its contract by not
operating a passenger train, they
having operated what is commonly
known as a mixed train, composed
of passenger coaches and freight
cars.
It is agreed by parties concerned
that the case be made against Rev.
W.R.Power and the decision rend¬
ered in his case carried to supreme
court, and that the decision of that
body be final, and that all other
cases of a like nature are to abide
by the decision rendered in this
one case.

Devoted to the Agricultural, Commercial and Industrial Interests of White County
Appeal To People To Vote,
The following letter received
from Hon Thos. M. Bell, we pub¬
lish for the benefit of our readers
and the voters of the county, and
sincerely hope that White county
will give the candidates a large
vote. This should be done, because
of the fact mentioned in Mr, Beil’s
letter, and because the opposing
candidates of the Progressive ticket
in opposition to Senator Smith and
Mr. T, W. Hardwick, nominees
of the Democratic ticket either de¬
serve your support or merit voui
opposition. I.et every man go to
the polls on November 3rd and
cast your ballot for your choice of
candidates. It is a duty you own
your country and future genera¬
tions.
The following isMr.Beil's letter:
Washington, 1>. C., Oct, 111, T.H-t.
Dear Friend:
I want to rail your attention to tie
importance of a full vote in t he el", l ion
November 3rd. It is often the ease that
we are confronted in Congress with a
proposition from some Northern nr ex¬
treme Western member to r du an
Representation in the 8011th bemuse of
the small vote polled in the regular elec¬
tion. It is this vole which is returned to
Congress and not the primary votejsovou
see it is a matter of interest to every
Southerner to go out and vote whether
the nominees have opposition or not. 1
trust you will go out ami ask your
friends to do the same for the reason as
signed. I will of course personally ap
predate the people’s interest in bid
matter, and would write every voter in
the district if I had the time and the
means.
With highest personal regards, 1 am
Your friend,

FltOGSESSiVE CANDIDATES FOR THE SENATE
fa
fir
I M --- ilM _
Hon. C. W. McClure, Opposing
Hoke Smith.
I am making this race as a busi
net -• man on a business platform.
I would not have come out at all
had not Senator Smith guaranteed
that if you would nominate him, he
would stay in Washington, and get
you 12 cents for cotton, well know¬
ing tlie primary would be over be¬
fore you would have time to know
whether he was telling the truth or
not. Congress could loan 8 cents a
pound on cotton at :i per cent inter¬
est-— that is as much as they get
it you elect McClure and Hutchens,
the whole Democratic party, includ¬
ing the Administration will decide
it is time to do something to relieve
cotton and take care of the South In
the manner they take care of the
Wo,;t and Wall street when they are
in distress.
Dp to now it has been proper for
you to blame Congress and Hoke
for not doing anything, but if you
vote to re elect him now, the blame
li -o. on yourself. It is up to you to
protect your own interests.
Now it is your time to get even.
Don’t be fooled by more promises!

we favor the submission of a Constitutional Amendment on the prohibition

primary election we favor a common primary for all parties, held on the

eral elections, we stand for the Australian ballot.
7. Wo believe the time has arrived when the best interests of Georgia
and of the South demand a strong second white political party based
upon sound governmental principles.
We expect thousands of men to vote our ticket this time who may never
vote It again, and they are at perfect liberty to return to their own parties
next election. We are asking them to vote with us and rebuke the indif¬
ference shown our section. If you want to help in any" way write con¬

VOTE FOR McCLURE AND HUTCHENS, NOV. 3RD.
Do Not Fail To Read.
To my friends and customers :
The all-absorbing and deplorable
condition caused by the terrible
war in Europe, conditions which
have not existed in the South since
the civil war shohld, in our estima¬
tion, bring home to every man,
woman and child the important
and undeniable fact that (lie whole
world is kin, and we are all de¬
pendent one upon another. While
the world was at peace and every¬
body in the South felt secure and
prosperous, we of the South of
course did not feel that we were
dependent on anyone, we always
felt that the South was tlie most
favored section in the LnitedStates
as far ar her natural resources are
concerned, and many of us never
dreamed that on account of a Euro¬
pean war our great industries would
be paralyzed and “King Cotton”
temporarily go begging. I can not
refrain from calling your attention
to the lesson this deplorable condi¬
tion teaches us, and this lesson
spells “Cq-operation.” I
If wars could be entirely elimin-j
ate would be proper co-opera
tion among nations which would
bring about eternal prosperity and j
happiness. If the farmers of the j
South would, through their unionf
and official organs, co-operate more j
satisfactorily in tlie establishment^; diversifi-l
of cotton warehouses, tlie
cation or crops and the reduction
of cotton acreage, this fine and
great southland of ours would und-i
er sue!) co-operation also prosper
though the whole of Europe and
Asia were involved in war. m
The great industries and great
mercantile industries of this and
i oilier countries have long realized
that unless they show* a spirit of
co-operation with all concerned
they cannot hope to remain great.
The capable and willing young
man engaged in such co-operation
is given a working interest or in
ducamcnts are held out to him
which in former generations were
unknown to secure his absolute co¬
operation. Jt was co-operation
which enabled the United States
Steel Corporation to make the en¬
ormous success they have attained.
Now, just a few words as to our¬
selves in Northeast Georgia. In
short, what we want to impress
upon you is the following: We
have for many years served our
patrons faithfully and we feel we
merit their support. We have al¬
ways co-operated with you when
you needed a favor. It is our
earnest desire in the future to con¬
tinue to show you a favor. Our
desire is to co-operate with you in
the future and continue to serve
you honorably. Now this condi
tion depends on your co-operation,
We more tllan ever now need your
loyal support. It there ever was a
time for co-operation the present
certainly is. No just and sane man
could under present conditions
afford to decline to pay his bills
when *>e can possibly raise the
money.
Our future policy shall depend
entirely on tlie co-operation of your
good self.
Now, in conclusion, we are liv¬
ing in as good a country as there
is, but we live too far apart; we
want to get closer together and
help upbuild our neighborhood,and
Judge G. R. Hutchens, Opposing
Tom Hardwick.
Who destroyed the Democratic par¬
ty in Georgia? Hoke Smith and T. W.
Hardwick.
Hardwick nominated against the will
of the people by rank fraud binds no¬
body to support him.
The Smith-1 lard wick combination
turned out df the Macon convention 39
legally accredited delegates and put
in men they could control in order to
defeat the will of the people. They
did so. 1 come now and appeal to tlie
people themselves.
Where are the rights of the people?
Conditions in Georgia demand two
white political parties—NOW.
Don’t be timid. If you favor decent
politics vote for McClure and Hutchens
on November 3d.
There’s no Democratic party in
Georgia now. it is a “Hoax Myth’’ par¬
ty or nothing.
see if we can stamp out selfishness
and gosip, have more co-operation
amongst ourselves, and live in the
fear of God and not the law.
Fraternally yours,
A. G. QUINN.
