Ginning Cotton.
The Pearson Ginning Company
commenced this week to prepare
the fleecy staple for market, and
a number of bales of short staple
cotton have passed through its
manipulations.
They are complaining of the lack
of bagging in which to wrap the
staple, and it will be necessary for
them to use every available sub
terfuge in order to prepare it for
market at all.
The price of the staple is good
and the Tribune believes will ad
vance with the season, as the gov
ernment estimate of a 12,500,000
bales w-ill not be realized. The
farmer should not sell his cotton
for less than 35c. per pound.
Under prevailing circumstances
is worth that price. They will have
to get that price to break even
with the cost of production.
Growing Hogs.
For a hog to be profitable he

PEARSON TRIBUNE, PEARSON, GEORGIA, AUGUST 30, iOIS
Judge Quincey’s Platform.
To the people of Coffee county:
We are supposed to live in a free
democratic country, a country
where the people rule; where the
will of the people is the highest
law- and in my opinion candidates
for office who ask the people for
their suffrage should come out can
didly and let their opinions on
public matters be known before
elected.
If elected Representative for
Coffee county, 1 shall recognize and
yield obedience to the principle
that 1 am the servant and not the
master of the people at home. If
the voters are intelligence to elect
all of their officials. One of the
w-orst usurpations of authority and
power is for a Legislator by local
act to legislate, or attempt to
legislate, men in or out of office. It
is a principle grounded in our sys
tem of government and in all free
dom loving people that those who
are to spend the people's money,
manage their affairs, and who are
their servants and responsible to
them for their acts, should be
elected at the ballot box by the
voters and not by one man at the
Capitol of the state, in committee
rooms, associated with political
juglers and by politicians who art
seeking to reward their friends or
to punish their enemies, often
times at the expense of the tax
payers and at the expense of the
liberties of the people.
If elected I shall favor laws that
will enable the people to say who
shall spend their tax money, hold
their courts and manage their
public affairs. This is true democ
racy and in my opinion is right
and one of the fundamental prin
ciples of our system of government.
If elected 1 shall urge and fight
for economy in state affairs and
thus secure as low a lax rate as
possible and keep the money in tin
pockets of the tax payers, Taxes
are at all times burdensome and
hard to pay, and and this is especi
ally true now when it is necessary,
and our duty and privilege to
sjK-nd large sums of money to feed,
clothe and equip the noble boys,
who are so bravely fighting em
battles across the waters. At this
time the strictest economy should
be enforced in carrying on our
State affairs. In local matters,
such as the creation of oily courts,
where the people are so directly
and closely interested, 1 favor the
referendum to the people, so llial
voters w-ho are so directly interest
ed, may pass on the question at
the ballot as to whether a court
should be created or abolished.
If the people of this county
place in my hands the commission
as their Representative, I pledge
myself not to pass laws, or create
positions for the purpose of plac
ing my friends in office, or to put
those elected by the people who
have been against me out of office,
that w-ill further my own political or
financial interests at the expense
of the public, but will let the peo
pie themselves pass on those mat
ters and by their ballots say who
and what they want.
1 want the people to know how
I stand on these matters and il
is not my purpose to attempt to
sow dissension and stir up strife
among the people in an attempt to
get elected to office. This is a
time w-hen great questions are en
gaging our people, questions which
will come up for solution not only
during the war but for years
afterwards, and the man who would
attempt to get elected to any
public office by misrepresentation,
abuse and slander is unfit to serve
a great people.
It is my purpose to run a clean
race, to let the people know where
I stand on matters of interest to
them and if I can be elected by
fair means I want the office and
will serve the people to the very
best of my ability.
Very sincerely,
Adv. J. W. Quincey.
