The Holstein Cow.
The Holstein cow is a thing of charm;
8be lifts the mortgage from the farm.
And makes the farmers wife more sweet,
Where'er the Holstein cow is queen,
A prosperous county may be seen,
Aud farmers in joyful ranks
Are packing money to the hanks.
Why plug along in the old sad way,
Producing cotton and no hay,
And putting up a bankrupt wail,
If one year's crop should chance to fail?
There is a better method now,
The method of the Holstein cow;
This critter always earns her keep.
And piles up riches while you sleep,
And pays taxes and the rents,
And right here in White county, Gents,
We have the sunshine and the breeze.
Very favorable for making cheese;
We have the grass and other feeds,
And all conditions the Holstein needs,
80 let us boost this leading cow, ■
Which beats the single shovel plow,
Let’s put a cheese factory on every stream
It's the safest money-making scheme.

As so much has been said about
roads,'I want to say we have some
chronic kickers on everything. I
am tired hearing our county run
do$n. White county is not the
Oftly county with muddy roads. I,
for one, am in favor of good roads.
Would be proud to get to vote
bonds to build roads in our county,
but this kicking crowd would kick
at bonds or direct taxation. The
kickers just look at one side of
everything, and view it in their
own way, and think our commis¬
sioners can build graded roads with
what money they have. We will
never have roads in White county
like they do in South Georgia, for
we have red clay and hills and hol¬
lows to contend with, and mud is
the worst thing we have.
WANTED
Teams for hauling. Experienced
logging men. Experienced cross¬
cut saw men laborers. Good pay.
Long steady job.

Public Roadism.
In reply to an article which was
in our last issue written by a per¬
son who signed their name E. F.
Smith. I don’t know Mr. Smith,
but I suppose he is another one of
them “smart Alex’s” whq, knows
more about the county’s business
than anyone else. He is harping
on working convicts and seems to
think I have made the bill of cost
of working convicts too much. I
would like to know how many con¬
vict camps he has run, '^nd who
paid the bills? He seems to have
written like he didn’t have any
cages to keep his men in at night.
That was O K. if they were all
good fellows, and I guess they
were or he would have turned them
off the job. I don’t think we will
work any convicts in White county
unless we are forced to it by that
great petition that is being circu¬
lated through the country which
doesn’t amount to as much as the
west wind, and you know we don’t
have much of the kind. Some
fellow may say, “Oh, yes, we wifi
fix him when his time is out and
the election comes on,” But 1
want to say just here that I am
working for the public, not for
office, and its a mighty sorry man
that will screen his duty' for an
office. No, 1 don’t care how many
petitions you circulate, nor what
they are for, you will find me right
on the job, doing the best I can for
the good of the people of White
county and giving the natural bone
kicker no attention if we have any
of that class of people. »
Mr. Smith spoke of the poor
man having to work time
cause he couldn’t get the nioney to
pay off with. I want to say he is
poor indeed, and very poor, if he
can’t get up money enough to pay
his road tax. We haven’t- got a
man in our district that can’t bor¬
row that much money any time,but
so far as that goes it is positively
none of Smith’s business. If we
need any of his advice I am sure
we will call on him, for if he can
run a convict camp so cheap I am
sure he can give advice worth tak.
ing. 1 know we have had bad
roads-, one icason is it has rained
so much, and another reason is, so
many people try to beat their road
tax and will not work or pay until
they are made. Until the people
of White county get to taking more
interest in the working of roads
and cooperate with the commis¬
sioners we won’t do any good work¬
ing roads, and I am glad to say the
good people,the tan paying people,
are getting more awakened to the
fact that we must work together in
the matter if we have success. The
time has passed when you can
bluff and abuse a man into any¬
thing. When men are doing all
they can and some little fellow
hoys up and begins to dictate on
something that don’t amount to
anything at all. If a good man
who is capable of giving advice
calls on me, I am always glad to
receive it. But when 1 hear noth¬
ing I say nothing.

The War Department authorizes *
the following statement from the *
Director of Finance:
Section 1405 ef the revenue act f
approved February 24, 1919, ♦
au¬
thorizes the payment of a bonus of
$60 to officers, soldiers, etc., of the
Army upon honorable separation
from active service by discharge,
or otherwise. This bonus is not
payable to the heirs or representa¬
tives of any deceased soldier.
Those who have been discharged
and have received their final pay
without the $60 bonus should write
a letter to the Zone Finance Offi¬
cer, Lemon Building, Washington,
I). C., stating their service since
April 6, 1917. the date of last dis¬
charge, and their present address
to which they desire their bonus
checks to be sent and inclosing
with tliir letter their discharge cer¬
tificate or military order for dis¬
charge or both, if both were issued.

dier’s discharge certificate, this
officer will cause checks to be
