The tradegy which took place at
the home of John Farmer last Sun¬
day was blow to the good name of
White county. It was one which
could have been averted. The
man who was killed was but an
officer of tl»e law. If any man dis¬
likes the law that is no excuse for
the taking of a man’s life because
he holds a position of law enforce
trient. If a man wishes to violate
law he should not do so to the ex¬
tent of endangering his own life or
the life of another. Make the game
a clean-cut proposition and evade
the officers if eh can. The man in
whose hands lies the enforcement
of law is not the law itself, and is
nowise responsible for the law. He
is merely a servant of the govern¬
ment and the governmen is behind
him in (ne performance of his
duties. No man would think of
shooting down the officer whose
duty it is to collect the state and
county tax just because he didn’t
like to pay the tax, yet the princi¬
ple in both are one and the same.
Our people who are engaged in
the whiskey traffic should be more
considerate in their actions, for
defiance of law means but the
arousing of a sleeping dog, so to
speak, and but builds more dan¬
gerous barriers in the path of their
performance, for the quieter people
are in the manufacture and sale of
whiskey, the less opposition they
have to contend with from the
public, and the less danger they are
in when accosted by officers.
This very unfortunate shooting
last Sunday morning has done
much to create a sentiment against
whiskey in White county, and, if
you are engaged in the liquor traf¬
fic, let me drop a whisper in your
ear : If you do engage in it, do it
quietly, soberly, shrewdly and get
away when the officers come, if you
can.
So long as people want whiskey
bad enough to pay the price whis¬
key will be made. Even a still on
wheels was captured in Atlanta
last week.

Save the Dollar Now
lias it ever occurred to you that the dollars you save
now will go twice as far in purchasing a home or any other
necessity when normal conditions return? The record high
wages and salaries of today make this the most logical time
to save.
Every dollar deposited today in savings will be wortli
considerable more in buying power when prices drop, in
addition to drawing interest. Appreciating the import¬
ance of this opportunity, we urge you to add as much as

We are requested to announce
that there will be services at Bap
tist church in Cleveland the fourth
.Sunday in June at n o’clock when
Rev. W. I). Mobley will preach to
the congregation. We all know
the division existing within the
membership of }his church fos the
past year, and in the interest of
morality, to say nothing of divin¬
ity, we would be awfully glad they
would get their minds and hearts
together, select a preacher, and
get busy in the highest and noblest
work thatChristains can engage in.
There never—it seems so to us at
least—was a time when the love of
God or the love of mammon, with
mammon in the lead, with the
shadowy idea that the thing to do
is to get money anyway, everyway,
or whatever way you can get it,
until the religion we possess is of
earth instead of heaven. Attend
services the fourth Sunday and
hear Rev. Mobley, who is from
Buford. It will do us all good.

LUTHER BKACKETT SHOT
Last Saturday night in Auraria
at about one o’clock Mr. Luther
Brackett was accidentally shot

There was some tsouble between

report goes, and in the trouble by
some means the pistol was dis¬
charged, taking effect in Luther’s
side. The wound is a very serious
one; however, we hope it is not
bad as at first thought.—Dahlonega
