\ T 0 L. XXI. No 80 .1
SOBRIETY IS OUR MOTTO
To the voters and good women
of White county and adjacent ter¬
ritory of Georgia. I am not a can¬
didate now, nor for centuries to
come. But if you know of any
beer, whiskey or stills you want
destroyed, or any blockaders you
want caught, you will please tell,
write or w ire Bill Dorsey or Ed
Carpenter, at Cleveland, Ga. We
will appreciate any information and
keep secret all things that don’t
concern the public. We also wish
to state that we will take as much
delight in our work as anyone in
the service, and we will return
from our work sober.
We all know the blockaders do
not oonstitute tiie best class of
people by any means, yet 1 am ssfe
to say the most notorious blockader
in the back mountains is forty
times nicer than the revenue officer
or shariff or policeman who will
capture whisky, pour out a little,
drink lots and carry off the rest.
Yet there is another class that 1
must be very mild indeed in saying
that eternity is too short for them
and hell too far away. 1 mean
the good old church member who
will condemn the traffic, compli¬
ment us for our work and then in
the same breath say: “When you
find some good whisky, bring me
a quart; 1 need it for medicine.”
1 say there if no medicinal value in
the stuff ; it is good for three things
only; to ruin boys, wreck homes
and cause women and children
trouble.
I wish the blockaders would put
forty times more wood alcohol and
strychnine in the stuff than they do.
Ttie world would'get rid of some
sorry others and be better off, and
there would be fewer women
whipped in the future than there
have been in the past.
With all due respect to both
friends and enemies.
W. D. DORSEY.
Will Be In First Column Again.
J|Mr. J.A. Holloman, Washing¬
ton correspondent of the Atlanta
Constitution, writing in that paper
Sunday, in which he summarized
tlie political contests thoughout the
State, had the following to say of
the prospective contest in the Nin¬
th district :
“Congressman Thomas M. Bell,
of the Ninth, lias announced for
the past several years that the first
year he was re-elected without op¬
position he would voluntarily retire
at the end of the term. And lie
meant it and means it yet, but just
ns sure as election years roll around,
two or three aspirants go gunning
for his seat. He is serving his
fourteenth year, and yet there is no
disposition to let him retire on
March 4, 1923, on his sacred prom¬
ises. It is understood ex-Marshal
Howard Thompson, of Gainesville,
will run, and there is talk of At¬
torney John Kelley, of Lawrence
ville, also entering the race. Also,
Miss Lipscomb, of Rabun county,
is threatening to run. Although
Georgia has no equal suffrage by
state law, there is no constitutional
inhibition against a woman run¬
ning for congress if she chooses.
At any rate, when the roll is called
on the sixth-seventh congress it is
safe to say Be'l will be in the first
column, as now.”—Gainesville

Flu Is Prevalent In Cleveland,
Within the past week the flu has
penetrated the homes of a number
of Cleveland’s citizens, but no
deaths have up to this time occurred
Tiled family of Mr. E. C. Hef¬
ner, as well as himself, were all
confined to the bed with this trouble
at the same time, but good neigh¬
bors have done all possible to re¬
lieve them in their distress. Out
of town a sliors distance, Mr. H.
A. Warwick and his family with
exception have been down with the
same disease, but as in the case of
Mr. Hefner, they have been assist¬
ed by neighbors. Almost the same
condition prevailed in the family of
Dr. BuJgin, and in many
there are instances of one and two!
cases to the family.
Whether school is closed depends
upon future developments and
decision of the trustees as to
advisability of closing for short
period.

Typesetting School Established at Macon
The typesetting school establish¬
ed on January 1 si in connection
with (lie.Georgia-AlabamaBusiness
College at Macon, Ga., under the
auspices of 1 he Southern Newspa¬
per publishers’ association, is now
under full swing, and students are
on the waiting list. The first class
was formed on January 1, and all
who could accommodated enrolled
at "once. Others were held back
until more machines could be in¬
stalled. These were put in this
week and a new class is being
fprmed. with several reservations
made in advance. M< r.: machines
are expected soon, and at that time
another class will be formed.
The school is seeking to show
that instruction on the keyboard
and in the rules of typography
bears the same relationship to the
printer’s trade as the technological
school bears to the trades of 1 he
mechanics. Some |remarkable re¬
sults are being achieved.
In speaking for the future out¬
look for the school, the dean said
today : “It is noteworthy that the
s udents are well educated and of
the highest character. The first
enrollment was from New York
city, the second from ti e state of
of Kansas, the third from Texas,
the fourth from Arkansas and the
others scattered about ovor the
south, so that the school is not a
one by any means.

What Makes A Bank?
Well, our answer to that question is that it is the men
behind the bank, the men interested in its management,
the men who stand for business integrity and square
dealing.
'The officers of our bank are accomodating and willing
to extend you every courtesy. Our directors are riot figure¬
heads, they actually direct the affairs of the bank and know
how its business is conducted. Our stockholders are
among the solid men of the community. These are what it
takes to make a good bank,, in our judgment, a safe place
for you to do business. We invite you to joilt us.
