I hear of some chills in the
country but none to amount to
much. Mr. John M. Rodgers is
quite sick with grippe or cold.
Our school closed out the first
term last Thursday. Miss May
ft. AVeaver took the prize for the
1 mest essay written in the county.
Os course we are always glad for
V our school to take the prizes and
X mdtlals offered. About a year
* Ago Winston Gayler took the
- madal as the best speller in the
pounty. Seminole a
fair chanc€*'sffealWays does .well

We have sent out lawyers, dot

nole who are now making their
ft mark in the world in business.

Our Sunday schools are Wood
now. About 40 scholars at
Sardis and about 30 at Walnut
Grove. There ought to be one
hundred ever Sunday at each
•school.
Mr. Dallas Berry has some
fine Berkshire pigs for sale.
Strawberries will soon be ripe
and that will be a little money
in the hands of the farmers and
pickers. So cotton is not all that
we have to depend on here for
i , a little money and lam glad of it
! fjor the cotton is about all sold
K an money spent with the-'
most of uynd we are glad to
have a strawberry crop £hat will
bring in some caffi intone coun
try. We hope enough To do until
peaches come in, thew we hope
the peach crop will reach to the
new crop of cotton that we are
I now planting. I hope, at least,
that all may steer clear of debt
and run a cash business altogeth
* er. How much nicer and pleas
wirter it would be to always sell
Jwhat we make for cash and pay
cash for what we buy. There
™ would be no suing and mortgage
ing everything to get credit.
Credit is a nice thing for us to
have if we do not abuse it too
much. Ido not blame any body
for going in debt for a home, be
cause buying a home is a good
investment. I wish more people
had homes of their own.
We would have a better
country, and people would
take more interest in schools and
churches and good roads and
general improvements everyway.
<We have had some warm, dry
weather for two weeks, though
it is a little cool no w. A good
warm shower of rain would be
nice to bring up our corn and
cotton that is planted and would
greatly help in preparing the
land to finish up our planting,
and I hope it will rain soon.

The people of the Seventh be
ieye in the doctrine of fairWplay,
and resent most strongly four
things on the part of Mr.
opponent in his race for re-elec
tion: Ist, that Fite commenced
an active campaign against him
before he had even taken his
seat; 2nd that he is inconsistent
ly attempting to bemirch his re
cord, although he supported him
two year ago; 3d, that he is hold
ing on to one fat job w’hile reach
ing out for another, and is thus
lowering the dignity of the bench;
and 4th, the fact that his villifica
tion and abusive methods are an
insult to the intelligence of the
district.
As we say, the people believe
in fair play, and they are going
to turn out in overwhelming
numbers on May 3d to endorse
the course of Mr. Lee and rebuke
that of the political Czar who is
I runningagainsthim. —Cedartown

To the people of the Seventh
Congressional District:
Gordon Lee’s announcement
for congress is in keeping with
his peculiar - methods. He had
the primary called for the 3rd
day of May to keep from meeting
me on the stump, and to prevent
me from meeting the people, and
to give him an excuse for not be
ing here. He now 7 tells the peo
ple that he is busy in Washington
attending to their business, and
asks them to take care of him at
the polls. This is an old political
dodge, and I hope no one will be
deceived by it. There is no tell
i ing just where Mr. Lee is now,
npr what he is doing. On Friday
and Saturday, the 13th and 14th
of this month, he was at the Reed
House irfChattanooga, Tennessee,
the name of J.
G. Lee, “conferring” with his
political heelWs; and on Sunday
following w 7 as in Walker County
doing the same thin?;. He may
have gone back to Washington,
but he has left his private Secre
tary and “bag-toter”, who is now
traveling all over this district
“conferring” with the heelers.
This is the same fellow who was
at the meeting of the Executive
Committee that called the pri
mary, both in person and by
1 proxy, manipulating in the in
terest of Mr. Lee.
All I want, or have ever want
ed, is “an open field and a fair
fight; and ask the good people of
the district to see that I get it at
the polls. I will not spend one
cent, or furnish one drop of
liquor, to corrupt any man’s vote,
and relying on the unpurchased
and unpurchasable, the incor
rupt and incorruptible voters of
the district, to defeat ring rule
and political trickery.
Very truly yours,
A. W. FITE. <

COTTON MILL ASSURED.
About SBO,OOO of the Stock Has
Been Taken.
The erection of a SIOO,OOO cot
ton mill at Summerville is now
assured. About $60,000 of the
stock has been taken and it is
thought there will be no difficulty
in making up the remainder of
the stock. The people of Sum
merville and Chattooga county
have become very enthusiastic
over the proposition and have
gone to work in earnest to get
this enterprise. The company
will have a capitalization of SIOO,-
000 and the mill will be of the
very latest type, both in the con
struction of the building and in
the machinery installed.
The site has not been definitely
decided upon but options have
been secured on several tracts of
land and the company will have
no trouble in getting a suitable
location at a reasonable price.
It is said that about 200
operatives will be required to run
a mill of this size, which means
that between four and five hun
dred people will be added to the
population of Summerville.
Always Hungry.
The desire lor office, like some
other habit, seems to fatten and
grow upon its own indulgence.
Once the taste of official life
tickles the palate, the victim
rarely escapes a repetition of the
desire when another election
rolls around, and each recurring
success seem only to whet his
appetite for more. This is beau
tifully and strikingly illustrated
in the career of one of the candi
dates for the nomination for Con
gress from this district. He had
barely reached his majority when
he ran for and was elected to an
office. Not a single year has
passed since then when he was
not either holding an office or
running for one, and very often
doing both of these things, as he
is now. A gentleman who has
been quite familiar with Judge
Fite’s personal and political his
tory has figured out that he and
his family have received in the
neighborhood of $75,000 from the
public treasury since he began
his office holding career over 20
years ago. Even now, while ap
pealing to the people for another
office, he holds one of the best
within their gift, with about three
years of his term yet to run. His
son also holds ■ a comfortable y
position in the public service that
he can continue to hold during
life or good behavior. The* *
1 salaries of father and sjon that
they are now drawing amount to
some $6,000 a year. It would
seem that this amount of official
patronage and power to one fami
ly would satisfy any reasonable
man, but not so with Judge Fite.
While holding on with a tight
grip to the Judeship of the Chero
kee Circuit, he is spending his
time in an active canvass of the
district for the Congressional
nomination.
It is not strange that under
these circumstances the Judge
finds that his appeals fail upon
unwilling ears, thathis harangues
are thinly attended and his
speeches forgotten before he is
out of sight. He says he finds
great difficulty in impressing his
views upon the people. Very like
ly!- Exchange.
