PEARSON TRIBUNE, PEARSON, GEORGIA, SEPTEMBER 27, 1918.
Red Cross Activity.
The ladies of the Atkinson Coun
ty Chapter A. R. C. have gone for
ward actively in the work. They
have decided that the Belgium re
lief was the most urgent work that
they could engage in and a proper
committee has been Appointed to
have charge of the work.
A class in surgical appliances
will be organized at once and the
services of Miss Anderson, of Way
cross, will be accepted as the in
structor.
To the citizens of Pearson: Don’t
be backward in donating discarded
clothing. Everything in this line
can be used to advantage in mak
ing destitute Belgians comfortable
this winter. It will be an act of
mercy of w hich you should not be
ashamed. If the garments need
mending and cleaning, do this
work gladly. Girls can engage in
this work that will not only be a
blessing to the people of northern
France and Belgium, but learn a
lesson of economy and thrift that
will be of immense advantage to
them in their after lives.
In this relief w ork there is some
thing all can do, and it should be
done cheerfully.
Attorney R. B. Chastain, of
Douglas, was in the city Wednes
day afternoon. He tells us that
under the provisions of the Act
submitting the statutory city
court to a vote of the people last
Saturday, whether or not it would
be retained, the court lost out and
was abolished. It required a ma
jority of the qualified voters of the
county to retain it. The Tribune
man has not seen the Act and sup
posed that a majority of the votes
cast would retain it. However,
the death of Judge Walter ('. Bry
an w'ill require the appointment of
a judge for the constitutional city
court, and the outlook is that
Judge J. J. Rogers, of the statutory
court, will be the appointee. This
may prove a happy solutiou of the
city court muddle. In all the
Tribune has said in regard to this
city court question, it had no per
sonal feelings agaim t any person
connected with it, but presented
the question along the line that
was to the best interest of the
people of the county as the editor
saw it. For doing this he apolo
gizes to no one, not even to the
“bevy of beauts” who read the
other fellow’s Tribune. Boys,

Judge J. W T . Quincey, the nomi
nee for Representative from Coffee
county in the next legislature, was
in the city Tuesday night so the
Tribune is informed. He discussed
with some Pearson citizens the
“whiskey and money” allegations
which appeared in the Tribune.
The editor is informed that Judge
Quincey denies emphatically the
allegations, but remarked that “A
man is presumed to be innocent
until the contrary is proven, and
that Allen couldn’t prove him
guilty of using money and whiskey,
in the election.” The Tribune
editor is thorroughly acquainted
with the wholesome rule of criminal
law he quotes, but Allen is not
prosecuting him for any thing. He
merely gave publicity to the facts as
they came to him from responsible
parties, expecting him to deny the
allegations and place himself right
before the people of Pearson and
vicinity. The columns of the Trib
une were and are open to him for
that purpose. The Tribune con
demns no one without a hearing.

Fourth Loan a Fighting Loan
As the campaign for the Fourth
Liberty Loan approaches the
American Army in France moves
on toward Berlin. Under our own
leaders the great American Army
has won notable victory.
The Fourth Loan must be a
great success. The Fourth Liber
ty Loan is a lighting loan.
When our soldiers on the battle
front are braving death, each one
offering to make the supreme sacri
fice for his country and the great
cause, we who remain safely at
home surely should give them
every support, should make every
sacrifice to strengthen them. If
we can not fight ourselves we can
make our dollars fight.
11 is a great cause for which
America is engaged in this war; it
is a great struggle in which the
very hope of the world is bound up
that is being waged in Europe and
on the high seas. It is an In nor
to have a part in it and all An Or
leans, all of their lives, will bo
proud of the part they had in il or
ashamed of their failure to do tl cir
part.
The Fourth Loan is a fighting
loan. Every subscriber to the
Loan strikes a blow for Liberty,
for Victory.

1 sit on a rock
By the big oak tree,
And see the big owl in the tree
Fast asleep in the day.

Just to sec him cat him up,
He catches him and plays with
him
Until he gets hungry.
