Statements have been sent out to those of you whose subscriptions have expired, and requesting a re newal. Practically no attention has been given to these statements. This leaves but one thing to be done —strike your name from the list of subscribers. All paper stock and other print ing material is high and it takes cash to buy it. The Tribune can not afford to carry subscribers be yond the time which they have paid and, in future, will give them notice in time to renew before their times expire. If no atten tion is paid to the notice the sub scriber’s name will be stricken from the list no matter how much regret it brings. The Tribune would regret to losti a single subscriber, but it can not sacrifice itself in the effort to keep them on the list. “Gordon and Brown” are illus trious names in Georgia history, and yet, they are the names of two negroes who were lynched in Lincoln county for killing a dep uty sheriff. The Bealer-Gornto imbroglio over in Valdosta, involving the ad mission of Bealer into the county jail to preach to the prisoners is nothing more than a bundle of spleen venting that is reaping a harvest of cheap notoriety. Of the many fairs being held in South Georgia none of thorn have so far invited the attendance of of the people of Atkinson county through their local and official newspaper. 11 may be a ease of “Penny wise and found foolish." When the armistice was signed the Tribune announced that “Its columns were closed to further free advertising matter." It meant just what it said and pro poses to stand .by it. There is a limit to all things, lienee the Tri bune draws the line on space grafters. According to one South Georgia exchange Georgia has but two pieces of senatorial timber —Hoke and Hugh—and that when Hugh announced that he would not run it positively left the field open to Hoke. If Georgia is that poverty stricken for senatorial timber she deserves the utmost coinmisor ation. The Tribune doesn’t be lieve it. The pleasures of sin become less as time, passes. That which at first is intoxicating and alluring becomes dull by use. The vital powers grow less and the joy in purely physical existence is abat ed. The passage of the years bring those reflections which become more and more incompatible with real happiness in the pursuit of siu. Certain it is that there is a steadily diminishing enjoyment of sinful gratification of whatsoever kind. The Tribune fears that the nervous break down from which President Wilson is suffering is more serious than his physicians would have the people believe. His life has not boon conducive to physical strength, and there can be no doubt the mental and physi cal strain of the past ten mouths has told heavily upon his nervous system. "And still the villains pursue him.” The people, in their daily devotions, should pray for bis speedy recovery. THE AMENDE HONORABLE. The Tribune finds that its infor mation was faulty upon which two items, in reference to the typhoid vaccination at Harmony Grove school, were based and published. 11 now appears that there is ty phoid fever in that neighborhood; that the vaccination took place, not at the instance of Prof. Floyd, he School Superintendent of Cof fee county, but at the special call )f the parents of the children, and that the children vaccinated was not detained from school not ex seeding a half day. It appears all parties connected with the in ,'ident are entirely blameless. The Tribune editor regrets that a misrepresentation should appear in the paper, but the information came in such a way and from such a source that, he regarded it abso lutely reliable, and made no furth er investigation. The fact that pupils from Coffee county are attending the Harmony Grove school gave plausibility to the story that Prof. Floyd had un thoughtedly procured the vaccina tion of the children at that school. TIMELY TOPICS. The quotations for good mid dling cotton on the Savannah mar ket has passed 3Kc. per pound. The indications are that prices of cot ton will continue upward and that in the next thirty days will be 40c. and more. The prices of manufac tured products stand atari equiv alent of GOc. for the raw material. The Tribune retreats its annual advice to the cotton growers of At kinson county: Destroy all cotton stalks as soon as crop is gathered; clean out your fence jams and burn all trash and burn around all stumps, logs and dead trees, so as to get an early start in planting their crop next year, fn this way you can destroy a large per cent of the pests. It is being intimated that Re publican senators are using all their wits and power to prevent a vote on the adoption of the peace treaty and league of nations, hop ing that Vice-President Marshall will bewailed to assume the Presi dency, when he would lose his right to preside over the Senate and vote in the case of a tie. But, according to reports from the white house, they are hoping against hope. The talk of investigating the sugar shortage is the merest tom my rot. The answer that will be given is heavy exportation. With a set of officials, who will dare to do their duty, the sequel is easily obtainable; Speculators are hid ing it out and holding for high prices. There is certainly no shortage in the supply of sugar; the profiteers should be allowed to hold their hoard until they voluntarily decide to turn it loose. Real estate dealers are active these days. The demand for small South Georgia farms is good, and it is difficult to supply that de mand. Some farmers are, because they failed to grow cotton the past two years, selling tl;eir farms and entering other lines of business. The responsibilities of our agrieul tural schools, in teaching the ris ing generation how to farm sue cossfully. are growing year by year. There never has been greater op portunities for the farmer to make money on his farm than right now. The triennial generel convention of Episcopalians, in sessiou at De troit, Michigan, have decided to strike the word “obey” from their marriage rituals. The next step to completely destroy the sacred rite of marriage is to adopt "Free Love,” and it has nearly reached that point. In the early days of creation the Great Creator fixed the status of male and female and made the solemn statement that the husband should "rule over” the wife, signifying that she should "obey” him. But man. having eaten of the forbidden fruit became wise in his own estimation and began to improve upon God’s plan and to destroy his reservations and conditions. A day of reckon ing is coming. PEARSON TRIBUNE, PEARSON, GEORGIA, OCTOBER 17. 1919 Wayside Jottings. Clinch county at one time had three citizens by the name of John Smith. To distinguish them one was called Red Neck John Smith, the second High Head John Smith the third Ox-Eyed John Smith. This is like the nicknames of the several Dan Lotts of Coffee county, xxx Ilomerville is putting herself on the map pretty well. Her new bank is doing a very satisfactory business; her sweet potato curing house is finished and ready for business; the splendid new bakery is nearing completion and is a sub stantial brick building, and Ho merville will have in it a live in stitution. xxx Clinch county has a large acre age planted to sugar cane this year. The condition of the different crops ire good, better ana best. Mr. H. M. Peagler has a thirteen acre crop, and it seems to be as fine as can be grown. ft is estimated that the yield of syrup will be 350 gallons to the acre, or 4,550 gal lons for the entire crop. It is es estimated he will clear $2,500 from these thirteen acres of sugar cane. There is a great future for Clinch county along agricultural lines, xxx The Board of Education of Clinch county is having trouble keeping teachers for the schools of the county. Ilomerville especially is having trouble along this line; a new principal was installed at Dußigmm Institute last Monday, x x x Ilomerville seems to have em erged from the sugar shortage. Re turning from superior court Mon day afternoon two Way cross law yers carried a goodly quantity of that article home with them; they could not get any in Way cross. A Savannah Confederate veteran on the train, returning from the re union at Atlanta, stated it as a fact that barrels after barrels of sugar is being stored in Savannah ware houses, to be held for higher prices. The profiteer is with us, truly, and the people of South Georgia should he admonished to convert some of its present sugar cane crop into brown sugar. A bright "C" sugar can be made w ith out the intervention of a refinery. Our foreparents made "C” sugar and the people of this day can do likewise. xxx Growing tobacco is no more haz ardous than any other crop. Sea sons can destroy any of them. The profits, where everything is propitious and the tobacco is put on the market in good shape, are better than any other crop. A demand has been created for it as insatiable as whiskey, and it reaches almost from the cradle to the grave. Even the dear girls will join you in a cigarette. This tremendous demand is going to be filled whether our farmers grow tobacco or not. They should share in the big profits. Demand for Holy Places. The Ixmdon Times. So long as religion exists, men will look for its holy places. If they do not find its sanctuaries ready at hand in the natural feu ture of the country in which they live, or if they are not provided with places consecrated by the history of the past, they will make them for themselves in their churches and their shrines. Men need some special place where they can know that they are in the divine presence and can offer their homage before his throne. The places of men’s ven eration are frequently impressive and beautiful; but, on the other hand, they may be the barest buildings, having nothing of grace or beauty to please the eye. Yet the meanest building become ablaze with divine glory to those who have met God within its walls; and w here general ion after gener ation of men. each in its turn, have bent in reverence to worship, or to listen in faith to the word of the Most High in warning, encourage ment or comfort as they most need, they have dedicated holy places with a reverence due to the honor of God and the memory of his people.
