• Sheriff Jackson’s reputation of
catching automobile thieves is
wonderful
Will Such Dastardly Outrages
He Permitted Without Action?
(Editorial)
In our last issue we mad:- only
a very brief mention <;f a joi r
negro found by two citizens of
Cleveland about a mile and a half
. nortl)west of Cleveland on the
Blairsviile road in a very painful
ayd distressing condition.
As best as we have been able to
gather this story, the negro caught
his clothing afire while warming
• at an Open fire after he had spent
.the day working on the highway
across Frogtovyn Gap. He did not
receive any medical attention un¬
til administered by Dr. L. G. Neal
Wednesday night of last week.
He was brrned so severe he could
hot- walk.
Early Wednesday morning of
last week this negro man was
brought from that camp by a white
man in ah automobile.to where he
wagTound and put out to make tin
best of it he could.
This is one of the most beastly
and inhumane acts ever perpetrated
in these mountains and the perpe¬
trator, we are most certain, is not
a resident of there towering peaks.
The Courier, as a disseminator of
hews and as a helpful a id upbuild¬
ing enterprise,most earnestly hopes
and trusts the contuy authorities of
. Lumpkin and While counties will
at once investigate this damnable
outrage and give the perpetrator
all that the law allows for such a
‘ -beastly and inhumane act.
Several other crimes of lesser im¬
portance than this darticuiar one
-have come into Cleveland frequent¬
ly, but were not given much
thought until this old negro gave
* Iris At dry,
* This he asked his
negro says
, > “-boss” to pay him for the four attd
S?a half days’ work he so faithfully
fi did for him so he could go home,
?but the “boss” told him to come
JGback HI Saturday and he h would see
about it. Now, this this is what the
\ "negro relates and every indication
\i points that is is true.
If the people are to stand aside
and permit such beastly crimes
committed within our loved and
cherished mountains without call¬
o ing halt it wont be Tong until
a
s- the barbaric will be
k most outrages The people
thrust upon us. of
Lumpkin and White counties
should rise up in revolt of such
•i crimes. They are the ones who
i . are footing the bill of constructing
this high way. And, to our honest
and hunble opinion, they should
see that the laborers should be
accorded humane treatment.
The fact about the business tV.eie
§houid be no negro labor employed
in constructing this highway when
white laborers are wanting work.
There should be something done at
t . once. Demand your tights. But
if negro labor is employed, remem¬
ber they are human.
Devoted to the Agricultural, Commercial and Industrial Interests of White County
Death Claims Mrs.
E. F. Davidson,
After an illness covering many
weeks of suffering, Mrs. E. F.
Davidson breathed tier last early
Monday morning.
It was just as the birds curotled
the coming of the morning when
i he rosy fingers of day tinted the
v istern sky. Surely a most ap¬
propriate time for a pure spirit to
t ike its flight homeward.
Mrs. Davidson was one of
nature’s most noble women in the
very truest sense. She was loved
] and cherished by all wl.o knew
her. She possessed such a bounty
of kind words and smiles that she
made the heavy hearts beat light
along the path she trod. The
beautiful Christian life she lived
was an inspiration to all.
As a church member she was
loyal and true. She filled the
place as Senior teacher in the
Mossy- Cneek Sunday School in a
most competunt and appealing
way. As to knowledge pertain¬
ing to the Bible and its teaching
-ne was polished and shining,
1 'he Senior class as well cs the
mtire Sunday School will return to
their usual duties with a sad heart,
abibough realizing that our loss is
Heaven’s gain.
But when we look around and
see where O! so many times she
has stood before us aud so faith¬
fully taught us the way oi truth
and light, it makes our courage
it rU to show.
As a Sunday School left behind
we shonid all try to live the life she
ha., lived before us, so when the
call i nines for us we may be able
to answer, “Here am I,”
Mrs. Davidson was 68 years of
age. Her remains wete laid to
rest in the Mossy Creek ceinetary
Tin sday morning January 9th, in

It is not definalely known how

What They Are Saying
Ottr very congenial friend,
Jarrard, at the Cleveland
Co. you know, believes in
tising,one can frequently
him remark something of this
fect to a customer: “If you don’t
use our soap, then for heaven’s
sake use our perfunes.”
Dr. T. A. Penhallegoti .remarked
to a man the other day who was
knocking Cleveland something to
these words: “You are so pessi¬
mistic that you look in the death
column for your name.” That’s
tellin’ ’em Doc.
A member of the local Epworth
League says : “Some members are
absolutely punctual in being late.’
“With so much excitement
going on nowdays, who can expect
every married couple to stand
hitched,” says our good friend
Sim Reece. ’Spect you’re right,
old boy,
Our good friend, F. D. Single
ton, editor of the Tri-County Ad¬
vertiser, lias been hitting it hard
for several months, because the
power company’s “juice” is too
weak to operate it is machinery
and he is compelled to labor at
nights, if he gets out his paper.
I lie, we know is very annoying
and we suggest to our friend to re¬
fuse to pay the power bills unless
belter and more “juice” is given.
Sheriff W. A. Jackson says the
Volstead act will be enforced if
the present brand of blockade
whiskey is not made at least to a
degree of perfection.
That’s about true, too. A fellow
can’t stand much of the “stuff”
hat is now for sale. It is so
abominable that when a fellow
takes a few drinks and feels the
effects he is “.all in” for several
days—it nearly kills him. That’s
why Sheriff Jackson says the
blockaders will themselves be the
cause of the enforcement of the
Volstean act. But isn’t it a darn
pity those fellows can’t be made
to drink some of the same stuff
they sell?
The Editor: How pleased I
would be if The Couries’s delin¬
quents would pay up at once.
Town Marshal : All of the boys
must have made some good resolu¬
tions, No arrests made yet.
Rev. Greenway -. The two coats
of paint on the Cleveland Metho¬
dist church adds wonderfully to
appearance.
Don’t Forget!
This is the season of the year you should be
preparing your seed bed, and we are capable of
assisting you as we have a complete line of
Moline Harrows, Section Harrows and Plows
which we are offering at attractive prices.
