PEARSON TRIBUNE. JTibllwhf'd Weekly hy Tribune Publishing Company. Member 11th District Press Association 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."
