With the untimely death of
Judge Max Meyerhardt, of Rome,
removes from the bar and the Ma¬
sonic fraternity a most notable and
distinguished figure.
Judge Meyerhardt was Worship¬

for forty years, which we suppose,
breaks ait records. He also served
several terms as Grand Master of

The poultry sale in Hartwell re¬
cently was u splendid success.
4,500 fouls were the aggregate
number comprising the car.
The Gainesville Ice & Fuel Co.,
of Gainesville, Ga., represented by
Mr. C. C. Romberg, bought the
car paying 20 cents per pound for
hens, 10 cents for roosters, 20 cents
for stags and 35 cents for fryers.
This poultry sale should arouse
intense interest amoung White
county farmers.
r We know the chickens are here
and there is always a cash market
for them. If our farmers will get
together and set a date for such a
sale The Courier will do all in
power to make it a success.
No one can be u looser on such
a proposition, but they can soon
learn thut by cooperrting they will
benefit themselves.
Lets try a poultry sale here soon.
Gardens in and around Cleve¬
land are being prepared to give the

worth while.
Hugh Rowe, of the Athens Ban¬
ner, says that fifty years ago “men
kept the ame wife a life time-”
All of which is true, and we are
mighty glad to add that out here in
the country there are a lot of old
fashioned men still left.—Advo¬
cate-Democrat.
Which all goes to prove what it
proves, that fifty years hence it
will be luck if a sellow holds one

Uncle John Shannon says : “that
wlsen a man is no good, he is not
worth killing.” May the Lord
have pity, not on such an animal,
but on the people who coine in
contact with him in everyday life.
It seems such a crime to permit
such people to ezisl—for they don’t
live—but there is a bit of helpful¬
ness in his being placed here. It
suukes each individual more appre¬
ciative of the sweeter, nobler and
better things of life and makes
him realize that we were placed
tieee for a purpose. But isn’t it a
pity bow some of us use the valua¬
ble time given us?
Dr, Hubert Works, who retired
only recently as Postmaster Gener¬
al to accept the head of the Interi¬
or Department, said only a few
<daye before retiring from the pos¬
tal department that he wished to
recommend a few changes that he
considered should be put into force

»t« u» a big business. He sees the
folly and the incompetency in the
service by the ruthless political
moves of the politicans through the
civil service commission.
This editor is in hearty accord
with Dr. Work. We believe the
service should be conducted on the
same high plane as a big business
concern. We believe that if a
postmaster is not efficient he should
be discharged, not through politi¬
cal moves, but throug a business¬
like channel. If he proves capable
of advancement he should should
be promoted along up the line,
which is the only sound, logical
andb usiness-like method to pursue
to make the service more and more
efficient. After all, isn’t efficiency
what we need to work for?
March 1st was the last day for
all automobile owners to purchase
tags. The law, we hear, states
that cases must be made against all
parties driving with I922 tags.
Many towns and countias are
strickly enforcing this law. Be sure
you have a 1923 tag before you
drive your car.

In our last issue our correspon¬
dent of Cross Road desired that the
Editor give the readers os The
Courier some information as to the
disposition of the |§,onroad bond
money which the last fimn>,c ppm
rniitee reported to the October
Gsand Jury, and who were unable
to give a complete statement of ap¬
proximately $5,000 of the #15,000
road bond money voted by a major
of the citizens of White county to
be used in making the principal
roads of the county better to the
highway, because the records of the
County Commissioners were in¬
complete on this item at the time of
their posting the books.
Dear correspondent, we are in¬
deed very grateful to you for your
asking us to give this infornation,
but as yon are well aware we are
so far helpless.
The Editor is deeply interested
in county matters and affairs and
tries to be on the side that is for
the progress and elevation of the
county. He is occasionally found
to be in the wrong on many ques¬
tions. But we assure you our posi¬
tion is not one of selfishness, and
when we are wrong, we are not
the kind that when we are shown
it we are not so stubborn we can’t
see it.
We may h«vn been in error in
being so persistent in onr asking
the counjy commissioners to give
the people of White county an
itemized statement each month of
their receipts and disbursements,
but we realize if they had done so
at least some of the embarrassment
that now prevails could have been
avoided,
We are still hopeful that ^presure
can be brought to bear so wa^gidy
upon the county commitsioners that
they will not withhold this infer
jaaiioo longer.

If The Courier can get any in¬
formation on this and other county
matters you may rest assured it will
be given yov.
The Editor has the whole shop
by himself this week,as his “devil”
Tohn Edwards, quit us last Satur¬
day He finds it pretty much of a
job too. We regretted to give up
John, for he is a splendid worker.
So all the mistakes this week may
be ylaced on only one man.
Judge W. El- Candler, of Blairs
vilte, spent last Friday night in
Cleveland returning from Atlanta,
where he had been in the interest
of the highway from Atlanta to
Asheville.
Judge Cgndler told us he went
before the Highway Board and
they promised him that the con¬
tract would be let in April from
Cleveland to the Lumpkin county
line. The Judge also stated that
the road would be fully completed
in Union county by December 25.
This news the Judge thinks can
be regarded as the truth.
It is certainly lucky for White
county that she had such men as
Judge Candler on the opposite side
of the mountain to work for her in¬
terest. Judge Candier has unceas¬
ingly labored from the very begin¬
ning on this highway. He doubt¬
less desired the road to go through
a different gap, but since it didn’t,
he has put nil his efforts to work in
speeding the completion of this
road project.
The Judge discussed a number of
matters with us while here. Among
them he stated he really admired
our editorial position, although at
times he differed with us, yet ex¬
pressed that we were generally
right on most matters and were
constantly laboring for the progress
and upbuilding of the county.
The Editor is deeply inbebted to
the Judge for sucli expressions. No
man knows it all. Hence it takes
the counsel of all men, especially
of the type of njen 4« Judge Cand¬
ler.
Mr. B. H. Stone, of Qlutrevilio,
