“Jazz weddings” are popular in
Ureal Britain; by and-by they will
be displaced by “l’hon.v divorces.'
The Sparks Eagle compares the
“profiteers” to “Cow ticks.” The
comparison is apropos, they are
blood suckers all right,!
At the request of Congressman
Lankford the Tribune is in receipt,
from the Department, a large wall
map of the United States. It is
invaluable as a map of reference.
Something near four thousand
Atlanta women have paid $1 each
(where did they get the money?)
to register and vote in the city
primary; in other words to be
coral led in Atlanta’s political
bull pen.
From his utterances it is reason
able to conclude that Billie Os
borne, down at Savannah, has gone
“Rad,” joined the “Scalawag"
crowd. There is a golden mean —
a middle road —and Billie should
find it and walk therein.
The legislators, after adjourn
ment and before leaving for their
homes, met and gave John N.
Holder a regular “Hip, hip, hur
rah!" shove into the gubernatorial
race. John says, “Yes, boys, I'm
a candidate for governor.”
Did you ever see the time when
a pound of cotton would buy more
than a pound of bacon. If cotton
was 10c. the pound, bacon was 10c.
the pound; if cotton was 85c. the
pound, bacon would be 35c. the
pound. It didn't make any dif
ference.
Senator,lim Flynt, up at Griffin,
had better let South Georgians
manage their little old Coastal
Plain experiment station in their
own way. He has kicked it into
common politics and put a kicker
attachment to it that bodes no
good to him. "Alas, poor Yorick!"
Editors Albert Sweat, Nashville
Herald, and Jack Majors, Mi 11 town
Advocate, have “kissed and made
up." And they are vicing which
can be the nicest to the other.
The little old Lanier county em
broglio is to be forgotten. The
Hook says “it is good and pleasant
for brethren to dwell together in
unity.”
The markets reacted the first
of the week. Cotton declined to
31c. but is now steadily creeping
up again—the latest quotation be
ing 32c. Naval stores had the
same experience, declined to $1.51
and the latest quotation being sl.-
56. Prime white corn is quoted
at $2.08. Butter, extra creamery,
55c. Fine granulated sugar, tic.
Provisions will gradually get
cheaper.
in a small city the vice of rash
judgment is altogether too com
mon. Where people know nearly
all their fellow citizens there are
some who are so ungracious and so
unchristian as to attribute an
evil motive when the actions are
prompted by the best of motives,
and they are rather disposed to
relish a rumor that reflects against
a neighbor. Everybody commits
indiscretions, either wilfully, or
through ignorance or weakness;
but harsh criticism and rash judg
ments do not help the offender,
but shove him dowu. The golden
rule should be applied in such cases.
HOTCH-POTCH.
Anot her south Georgia man lias
fallen victim to Gov. Dorsey’s ap
pointing power. Mr. 'l'. K. Ben
nett a prominent banker of Camil
la, has accepted the appointment
of State Superintendent of Bank
ing, with a salary of $6,000 a year.
Ilis assistant will get $3,000.
'l'hc appointment of Hon. Samuel
H. Sibley, of Union Point, to be
judge of the Federal court in and
for the Northern District of Geor
_;ia, meets with hearty approval
throughout the district. Judge
Sibley is one of the best equipped
jurists of the northern section of
Georgia.
President Wilson is undergoing
a congressional probe and laying
bare the facts and proceedings of
the peace parley. He seems not
to be perturbed in the least at the
grilling he is undergoing, but is
maintaining a dignity and poise
that, comes from a sense of duty
well performed.
The Georgia tobacco market
will close September Ist unless
buyers get different instructions.
The season is practically ended,
but the best grades are yet to be
marketed. Growers are rushing
their tobacco to the warehouses
and congestion is threatened.
The prices grow better as the
grades improve.
Tbomasville is to have a new in
dustry, the “Craekery.” Its pur
pose is to extract the kernels from
pecan nuts and put them up in
attractive packages for market.
The work is done by machinery
of recent invention, which makes
one hundred per cent available
product possible. It will open up
a market for pecan nuts at good
prices.
A Virginia tobacco warehouse
man has given it out that lie will
establish a warehouse at Valdosta
for the handling of next season’s
crop. A Texas man says he has
selected Valdosta as the site for a
large peanut industry, to prepare
peanuts for all sorts of commercial
purposes, which arc numerous.
This means much for the prosperity
of Valdosta.
Deputy sheriff Mad ray, of Wayne
county, who went to Offerman
Monday afternoon to arrest a
negro charged wit h sclling whiskey,
was shot and killed by the negro.
Sheriff Rogers, with a posse, went
to the scene and found the negro
baracaded in a house. He refused
to surrender and was making ready
to fire upon the posse when he
was riddled with bullets.
A pretty howdyedo has come to
light relative to the repudiation
of the Susan B. Anthony suffrage
amcndmtnt to the Federal consti
tution by the Georgia isgislature.
It is a well known fact that both
Senate and House voted against
ratification, but no resolution or
other document can be found
which Gov. Dorsey can sign and
forward to Washington as an ofti
cial document.
Two American aviators, captur
ed by Mexican bandits, are being
held for a ransom of $51,000 in
gold. The young lieutenant's
names are Haul H. Davis and liar
old G. Peterson. Isn't it time
your Uncle Samuel clean out that
miserable bunch beyond the Bio
Grande? They seem to have no
respect for the United States, her
territory or people. All sorts of
depredations are being committed
at will in defiance of this govern
ment.
Two young men, Hughes and
Griffis, so the Tribune learns, were
returning to Homerville from Ara
bia church last Sunday night; they
had some car troubles. They had
nothing with which to make repairs
and Griffis went to a nearby home
and secured accommodations for
the night. Hughes, who was un
der the influence of strong drink,
tried to fix the car and insisted on
Griftiis staying with and assist him.
Griffis declined; but Hughes called
him out of bed three times to
to insist on his company and help
to fix the ear. The third time
both became angry, an altercation
took place and Griffis horribly
stabbed. A surgeon was called as
quickly as possible and it took
forty-odd stitches to sew up the
wounds on his shoulder aud
abdomen.
PEARSON TRIBUNE, PEARSON, GEORGIA, AUGUST 22, 191 ft
STANTON THE PROPHET.
Editor Geo. Stanton, of the
Coffee County Progress, prophesied
all over the first page of his paper
—issue of the 14th —the dire con
sequences to overtake the Atkin
son and Clinch county friends of
the Alapaha judicial circuit, mak
ing a specialty of this editor.
Well, bless your soul, Stanton,
this editor was not consulted about
the matter and had no part or lot
in it. Never spoke a word to
Stewart or Bowden about it, much
less to give them a sl’ooo to vote
and work for it. Didn't speak to
but one legislator, Senator Larkin,
about it, and that mostly" to cor
rect a false impression made upon
his mind relative to Robert G.
Dickerson. The greater part of
(he conversation was in the pres
ence of Judge Suminerall.
The charge that the Clinch
and Atkinson county friends of
the new circuit were cat's paws in
the hands of Knight and others of
the Nashville and Adel bars is too
contemptible to be classed as a
joke. Pity that Stanton has de
seended to such a level. He is cor
dially invited to attend the next
session of the Eleventh District
Press Assosiation, at Valdosta, gel
acquainted with Editors O'Steen,
Shy tic, Sweat and Allen and they
will cause him to lose his grouch
and have a little sunshine in his
soul.
But, seriously, life is too short
to be figuring on what will happen
thirty, forty or fifty years hence.
The great concern should be to live
aright each day as they come and
go; to apply the golden rule to all
with whom you come in contact.
The editor of the Tribune has
known the members of the bars at
Nashville and Adel for years, most
of them from their boyhood. They
are gentlemen; he likes them. He
has no fault to find with the law
yers of Douglas and Wayeross.
They are gentlemen; he likes them.
The Tribune was indifferent
about the judicial circuit matter
and so stated as soon as it learned
the project was on foot. There is
enough work for all three of the
judges —Thomas, Summerali and
Dickerson —so quit prophesying
evil and learn to do well.
The Alapaha judicial circuit is
a verity. The officials have been
named. It seemed to be a popular
measure in the counties interested,
and their representatives—Stew
art, Knight, Burkhalter and Par
rish —all fathered the Bill. The
time for grouch and prophecy is
over. Quit it, Bro. Stanton!
Canal Prospects.
From St. M arys Georgian.
Senator Harris has started on
the right tack in a resolution in
structing the Secretary of Com
merce and the Inland Waterways
Commission of the railroad admin
istration to submit to the Senate a
report on the proposed canal from
St. Marys, Ga., to the Gulf of
Mexico.
Congressman Lankford wrote
Col. Voeelle on July 31st that his
canal bills were pending before the
Rivers and Harbors Committee and
will bo up for investigation some
time after the recess of Congress.
He writes: "If 1 find that either
route is not feasible or that the
two bills are liable to counteract
each other 1 will abandon one bill
and make a fight for the most
practical route.”
No one here ever heard of the
Altamaha Apalachicola route till it
was produced in Congressman
Lankford’s bill. No engineers have
ever suggested it that we have re
cord of. and it is a mystery still
what inspired the suggestion. It is
believed to be unfeasible as a
practical or profitable engineering
undertaking, more indirect and
vastly more costly than the St.
Marys and Suwanee rivers route,
which has been recommended by
engineers for forty years back.
That Congressman Lankford’s
two bills were “liable to counter
act each other" was the instant
observation here when the bills
came out, and we are relieved to
learnthat he con templates discard
ing one of them, confident that his
final decision will be for the one
practical route via the St. Marys
aud Suwanee rivers.
