15. T. ALLEN, Editor.
Kiitered at t.he I'ontolfice in Pearson, < ieorgia,
ns mail matter of the second class.
Subscription price, SI.OO a year In advance.
The Tribune man has had ex
perience paying lie letter postage.
Therefore, it doesn’t come hard
wit h him.
The people pay the freight when
their congressmen deluge t he mails
with political dodgers which goes
to the waste basket or trash pile
mi read.
The best medium of communi
cation with the dear people is the
newspaper and especially t he coun
try newspaper. It is the I itera
te re t hat is most closely pel used.
Th(y big new saw-mill at Cog
dell, in <tlineli county, started up
one day last week and, after a
short run, the machinery went to
pieces and, it, is thought, fatally
injured one man.
The South Georgia farmer can
find work to (loon his farm for ev
ery mouth in I lie year, and if in
telligently pursued tin* reward
will be products every month in
the year which he can sell for
cash.
It is time our fanners were lay
ing t heir plans for the spring crops.
Seeding oats arid wheat should
now receive attention. If you are
planning for a crop of tobacco, you
should prepare your beds now for
seeding in February. If you are
(o have an Irish potato crop, you
should select your land now and
prepare it for early planting.
The Lowndes county convict
gang has just completed building
a good road from Valdosta to the
Clinch county line at the Hotch
kiss bridge on 1 lie Alapaha river.
The Clinch comity gang are at
work on the same road, aiming to
connect it with eiiuaUy as good
road eastward to the Ware county
line. The road will be clayed and
made as luird and sinoothe as any
roads in Soulh ticnrgia.
A marked copy of the Clinch
County News brings the intelli
gence that Mr. M. C. Edge, form
erl.v with the Ware County News,
is now with the former paper in
the capacity of printer, lie is a
good printer; in fact, a handy man
in any department of the liewspa
per game. The Tribune can see
no good reason why his stay in
llomerville should not be long and
satisfactory to both parties to the
contract.
Canning companies at Simians
and Valdosta are preparing to can
sweet potatoes. The Tribune man
remembers that an experiment was
made in canning sweet potatoes by
the Tifton cannery in 1894 —put-
ting up what is known as “can
died" potatoes. The goods did
not prove popular, hence were un
saleable, and the project ended.
It may be in this period of food
shortage and diligent conservation,
canned potatoes may become a
popular diet and cause the Clinch
and Lowndes county canneries to
become profitable investments.
An editor has assorted, with a
local application, that “The nature
of the husband is too often reflec
ted in the appearance of the wife."
Women cannot loug retain tl#ir
good looks and sweet dispositions
when they associate daily with
cross-grained, ill-natured, close-fis
ted. indifferent husbands. On the
other hand there are women who
make hells of their homes twenty
four hours a day. seven days in the
week and fifty two weeks in the
year; their husband's can’t and
don’t try to get along w ith, them.
These are the people who declare
"marriage is a failure."
Beware of Many Candidates
There are now five avowed can
candidates for the United State’s
Senate to succeed the present jun
ior senator —Mr. Hardwick.
Senator Hardwick, of course,
will be a candidate to succeed
himself; indeed, is already making
his canvas and trying to repair
the breaches in his fence. It will
prove a fatal mistake for demo
crabs to underestimate his strengt h
in the white primary.
William I). Fpshaw iseandidate
number two; he shied his hat into
the ring early. Upshaw is a good
man in his peculiar sphere, which
is not the I’nitcd States Senate.
He is making a statewide canvas
now, but what encouragement he
is receiving is unknown.
William J. flarriH opened his
campaign in Thomasville, at the
Ueorgia Weekly I’ressAssociation,
last summer. He is making his
canvas now in a quiet way, writing
to supposed friends throughout
the state asking for an opinion on
the local situation.
John It. Cooper also made pub
lie his candidacy in Thomasville,
at court, w hile addressing the jur>
for the defense in the case of I’res
ton Williams, charged with the
murder of deputy sheriff James
Johnson.
Senator 11. H. Elders, of Taft
nail, lias announced himself a can
elate.
The present sit nation shows foui
pro-administration anti Hardwick
candidates against Hardw ick. I n
der this situation Hardw ick would
poll more votes in the primary
than anyone of them and, unless
the Neal bill passed at the lasi
legislature provides for a second
primary between the candidates
receiving the highest number of
votes, he would surely be the
nominee.
And, then, what can be done
about it f
Independents are not democrats
Savannah Sugar Refinery.
The fact that Savannah's mam
moth sugar refinery has shut dow n
for want of a supply of raw ma
terial, furnishes food for reflect ion.
It is a peculiar situation that
this mamoth concern has been
built with the view of depending
entirely upon Cuba and Louisiana
for ils raw materials. The pro
jectors have not expected nor bid
for raw materials to come from
any other source.
And this in the face of the fact
t hat the best of sugar producing
cane can be grown on millions of
acres of land contiguous to Sa
vannah. The test has been made
and the fact established.
The Tribune had hoped that the
building of this sugar refinery
would lead to the encouragement
of sugar cane growing in South
Georgia to furnish at least a large
part of the supply of raw material,
lint to this date there has not
been the slightest Hint in that di
rection, not even to say the re
finery would take any raw ma
terial from our farmers and pay
them the market price for it.
The Tribune can see no good
reason why this industry should
not be encouraged in this section.
If there are any it would be pleas
ed to get all information in regard
thereto.

The office of Sheriff Passmore, of
Lowndes county, was raided a few
nights since “without a search
warrant" and all contraband whis
ky therein carried away. The de
predator is spotted and may be ap
prehended and prosecuted. It is
stated by some one. surely not
learned in the law. that there can
l>e no prosecution for larceny, as
“whisky is not property any
more."

The fame of Virginia tobacco is world-wide.
It has in it all the charm and mellowness of
Southern sunshine; the first cigarette came
from Virginia. And there isn’t any other
tobacco that has the “dash” and “go” to its
taste that Virginia tobacco has.
