No responsibility Ik assumed for opinion, expressed by correspondents or contributor. 1 Men should seek after the truth: it is the truth that makes them free. President Wilson has returned to Washington and is fas! eonval racing from his illiness. lie is tak ing the rest cure pi escribed by Dr. Grayson, his physician. Works just a little daily. It is not known if he will be in physical condition to take part in the industrial con ference on Monday. The signs of the times are omin ous, and the people know not whither they are being led. Crimes of every character, strikes and in dustrial unrest, political and rcli gious bickerings that points to revolution and change that no one seems to comprehend. Whither are the people being led! It is some time until the elec tion for Court House and Jail bonds will be held, but it is none too early for the people to discuss the question and decide whether or not a bond sale is the best man ner of raising the money to pro vide the county with these neces sary buildings. The Tribune is convinced that it is the only way the money should be raised, it is the only way the money can be raised without imposing a heavy burden upon the people. Lowndes county received only SI,OOO of the State Auto-tag tax, when she should have received two or three timesthatinucli. In vestigation brought to the light the existence of a most nefarious scheme. Dealers in autos in Ma con and Atlanta are giving away tags to induce trade. When a sale is made the ilealer secures Un necessary tag and places it on (lie car and saves the buyer the duty and trouble of buying a tag, and that tag is credited to I!ibb or Fulton county as the ease may be, they getting the tax for ears to be domiciled in Lowndes or some other county. It. now seems to be definitely do termiued where Georgia's senators are located on peace treaty and the league of nations. Harris favors ratification because the President wants him to do so and because he thinks it is the strong side in Georgia. Smith, if free to vote his convictions, would oppose them, llut he must take care of his return to the Senate next year, hence be is trying to direct the Georgia mind away from the sub jeet. He is not talking on the subject for publication: even Ralph is silent. With him Smith's inter ests must first be subserved, and then the dear people. Hoke is a sure enough joke. The South Georgia contingent of the Roosevelt memorial associa tion should not forget, while they are chipping in their dollars for a Roosevelt monument, that the grave of Gen. John A. Coffee, in the cemetery at Jacksonville. Tel fair county, has long been neglect ed. The Tribune does not favor South Georgians contributing to a Roosevelt monument so long as Coffee's resting place is neglected. Even then would insist that the Roosevelt monument be placed on Georgia soil. Georgians should be loyal to Georgia and Georgians; dollars for a monument at Roswell for his Georgia mother, but not a sou for a monument to the son, whose entire life detracted from the glory of Georgia and Georgia traditions, to be budded elsewhere than in the State of Georgia. VOTE FOR BONDS. The Tribune editor has discus sed the court house and jail bond issue with citizens from nearly ■very section of the county and he •bids the opposition growing “less by degrees and beautifully small.” Thinking people are amazed hat there should be any oppose ion at all, except from some ultra aolive, or hope for personal or eciional advantage. Rut citizens • 1)0 have but one view in their uind —"t he greatest benefit to the .reatest number” of the citizens of \tkiiison county, unhesitatingly viy "it is the only sensible way of •securing the means to provide these county necessities —a court house and a jail!” The proposition is to bond the county for $60,000 to build and equip a court house and a jail. These bonds are to draw 5 per cent, interest annually. This means that the interest for the first year will be S3OO, and will decrease $lO every year until the indebtedness is wiped out. It is provided in the contract that $2, 000 of the principal is to be paid annually, so that tl high ( amount to be paid any year will not exceed $2,300, and will require a tax rale of only $1 on tbe SI,OOO to make the payment. Let the people get this calcula tion straight in their minds, then they can clearly see their duty and perform it. The Tribune has an abiding faith in the people doing the right thing. If they go estray and do the wrong thing, it is be cause they have been wrongly in structed and advised. Rut they always perform their duty as they see it. There is not a citizen in Atkin son county so simple that they do not understand that the county must provide a court house and jail; that the county welfare re quires it: that "the business of no county can move along smoothly without them. Show him how the county can acquire these desider ata with the least burden to Un people, and they will surely adopt it. - These are the facts in the mat ter of securing a court house and a jail for Atkinson county. A jail is needed at once, just as soon as one can be built. It is true the city of Pearson is under moral ob ligations to furnish the county a court room, a place whore court can be held, and she will carry oul the contract in good faith. Rut this contract will terminate, and it is not a wise policy to wait un til the time expires before making preparation to vacate. When you vote for this issue of bonds you will perform your duty. ALBERT AND ELIZABETH. The visit of King Albert and queen Elizabeth, of Belgium, to this country is one of the most pathetic incidents of the world war. During the entire war King Albert was in the trenches with the Belgian army; his country overrun and the Belgian govern ment destroyed by the mighty German army. Queen Elizabeth busied herself with the effort to alleviate the suffering of the sick and wounded Belgian soldiers. The armistice signed, they return ed to their devastated >• • < • victors true, with nothing in front of them but wreck and ruin, and a long and tedious task of rehabili tation. They come to America for rest and to tell this people the high esteem in which they are held by the Belgians and their apprecia tion of the good service of America to Belgium during the struggle. They come at the invitation of this government, on the good ship “George Washington” furnished by this government, and will be made thoroughly welcome when ever they travel in this country. It is probable they come, not as royalty, but as bumble citizens of Belgium. The prospects are that the Kingdom of Belgium is at an end; that she will be reorganized as the Republic of Belgium and that Albert, the most beloved citizen, will be tbe first president. Praise is the hire of virtue. A! WOK TRIBUNE, PEAR SOX, GEORGIA, OCTOBER 3. 1010 TIMELY TOPICS. A report from the state banking department shows that the state banks of Georgia, during the past ti n years, have increased in resour ces, from $85,000,000 to $252,000,- 000, or $167,000,000. W. T. Anderson, of the Macon Telegraph, is being groomed for the next democratic national com mitteeman, from Georgia, and a South Georgia man is on the hook for I ’nited States attorney general. A cotton warehouse at Soperton, the county seat of the now county of Treutlen, was burned a few days ago together with ten thou sand bales of cotton; and this, with the price of cotton advancing. The loss is estimated at $200,000. Piedmont Institute at Way cross has been put under the Mercer System. Can’t say whether it is for better or for worse. Indepen dence is a fine thing, but it is not esteemed so well since the doctrine of paternalism has superceded licit of personal responsibility. Several prominent Georgians are being mentioned in connection with the United States Cir cuit Court judgship, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Judge Doii A. Pardee. .1. Hooper Alexander, the present United States Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia, is supposed to have the best chance of appoint ment. The Citizens and Southern Rank, of Savannah, has absorbed tlie Third National Rank of Atlan ta. This acquisition gives the Citizens and Southern healthy branches at Macon. Augusta and Atlanta, and places it easily as the largest banking institution in southeast.' The new trade era dawning upon the southeast from Central and South American conn tries makes such an institution a necessity for the proper handling of i he business. Legal Advertisements.
