The “Whizz wagon” is the new
name for the automobile.
Wholesome self-respect is the
foundation of good character.
You can’t make a straight states
man out of a crooked politician; so,
be careful for whom you vote A
Many of those loafers who claim
t hey can’t get work are wanting
to chop cotton in February and
shovel snow in August—and their
is really nothing doing in their
line.
The Tribune notes that some of
its contemporaries, using W. N. U.
news plates, are handing their
readers news items from one to
two weeks stale. Quit it, breth
ren, quit it. It’s no good.
The decision of the Georgia Su
preme Court that the transporta
tiou of alcohol for medical pur
poses is not a violation of The pro
hibition law is along the lines of
common sense. It has great im
portance in its relation to the re
tail drug trade and the practice of
medicine.
The Savannah News speaking of
the growing of men —such as“ York
and Towers and Maynard and Don
aldson” —in the Piedmont region
of the South, remarks: “They do
grow some men in that region.”
And it might have added that the
Piedmont region extends well
down into Georgia and embraces
the whole of South Georgia.
Discussing the sugar shortage
the Nashville Herald asserts that
“An investigation discloses there
is more sugar in the country than
ever before.” (’apt. Arrington, an
old confederate veteran, tells the
Tribune that large quantities,
barrels upon barrels, are stored
away in Savannah. This accounts
for the shortage and the manner of
boosting prices.
Jane Doc, presumably a sister
to John, makes the observation,
“That modern man is apparently
preserving himself against love.”
She says: “There are an extraor
dinary number of beautiful, nice
looking, good, clever and charming
girls unmarried.” Why? “Hus
bands are not scarce, but the price
of marrying and married life is too
high.” Miss Doe is mistaken.
The trouble is lack of self confi
donee. The man hesitates for fear
of his lack of ability to support
his wife. And some wives are un
willing to help in the home-mak
ing. This is nothing new.
The clash between labor and
capital now on in free America is
attributed largely to the policy
hitherto of the government admit
ting aliens into this country. The
making of America the refuge of
the oppressed of every nation
sounds well in theory but the prac
tical results are not desirable.
People have come to America with
no conception of dirty in a free
country; they come with different
language and different conceptions
and they proceed to put their
theories into practice and the re
suit is Bolshevism against Ameri
canism. To straighten out the
kinks in this mixture is going to
require millions of money and
many years of time and, the out
look, presents anything but a
roseate hue to the near future.
The Tribune favors the deporta
tion of every anti American found
in this country to his native heath.
TIMELY TOPICS.
Hoke Smith voted with the de
mocrats on tiiat Shantung amend
ment. Those Marietta and Thomas
ville resolutions are bearing fruit.
The Methodist South Georgia
Conference, which meets in Dublin
In- latter part of November, will
probably express a declaration of
rar against the “Cigarette.” Lead
ts in that church says the little
coffin lack" must be relegated to
ae rear.
There are already indications of
i controversy in the Georgia Jlap
list Convention, which meets in
vlaeou next month, over the ex
pending of the millions for which
a drive is now on. Some of the
ild time Baptists see doctrinal
troubles brewing and they value
principles and truth above the
eclat of glittering gold. May the
Holy Spirit point the way to safety
and sanity.
It seems that the United States
district attorney’s office reorganiz
ation has been completed. John
W. Bennett, district attorney, with
official headquarters in either Ma
con or Savannah; Charles D. Rus
sell, first assistant district attor
ney, with headquarters in Savan
nah; Clem Towers, second assistant
district attorney, with Headquart
ers in Macon. The announcement
of the reorganization is given out
authoritatively from, Washington.-
Tick eradication is still one of
the liveliest questions of South
Georgia. A better spirit of sub
ordination to the powers that be
is seeming to get possession of
the people. A few more object
lessons like that occurring in
Lowndus county a few days since
may work a distinct revolution. A
man by the name of Hamp Towles
undertook to drive five ticky steers
from Hamilton to Madison. His
path lay through the Lake Park
region of Lowndes county. He
was apprehended, fined $5O for his
violation, and he and his steers re
turned to Hamilton county.
The death of Dr. Lansing Bur
rows, at Amerieus, removes a most
conspicuous figure among the Bap
tists of Georgia and the South.
He had passed his four Score years,
and his life one of unselfish useful
ness. Among his first experience
as a Baptist minister was had as a
chaplain in Lee’s army, and they
had much to do in shaping the*
course of his after life. He was
well grounded in the truth as
taught by Baptists, and his teach
ings were presented in a loving,-
gentle way, that steered him clear
of Controversy and yet failed to
compromise his religious convic
tions.
Judge Evans, of the Federal
Court Southern District of Geor
gia, has confirmed the sale of the
Georgia Coast and Piedmont rail
road to the junk syndicate, head
ed by. 11. 11. Dean, of Gainesville,
Ga. Dean says the road is to be
dismantled within ninety days.
However, lie contemplates a sale to
citizens of Reidsville of that por
tion of the road from Reidsville to
Collins, on the Central, and Glenn
ville on the Seaboard Air Line
railroads, twenty five miles in
length. This road is Reidsville’s
sole outlet; without it she would
be bottled up. Brunswick repre
sentatives, who bid $400,000 for
the road to be kept as agoing con
cern, intimate that there is “An
other guess coming" in the matter.
The St. Marys-St. Marks canal
is again becoming a very live
question. Our friends down at
St. Marys are doing the country a
groat service by their continuous
agitation of the question, and the
more it is gaining strength and
popularity before the public. The
St. Marys Georgian brings the in
telligence that several strong men
have been added to the working
force favoring the early comple
tion of this canal, including Con
gressman Frank Clark, of Florida.
A meeting is soon to be held in St.
Marys, to which w ill be invited
both the House and Senate Com
mittees on Railways and Canals,
and other leaders of influence,
with the view of getting the pro
ject properly before Cougress and
hasten definite action on it.
PEARSON TRIBUNE, PEARSON, GEORGIA, OCTOBER 24, 1919
Mother in Israel Departs.
It is with profound sorrow the
Tribune chronicles the passing
away of one of the grand old moth
ers of Atkinson county; a woman
of the highest Christian character
and who had served her day and
generation wyll.
Mrs. Elizabeth Kirkland depart
ed this life on Monday afternoon,
< ictober 20th, 1919, in her 83rd
year. She was the consort of‘Hon.
Joseph Kirklaud, who preceded
her to the grave more than twenty
five years, and the mother of
eleven children. These were five
daughters —Jane, Laura. Dora,
Lucy and Elma; there were six
sons —Filer, Benajah, Jefferson,
Wenloeb, Judson and S. T. She
is survived by two daughters—
Laura and Elmer —and all of the
sons except Judson.
She was the daughter of Hon.
Benajah Pearson, for whom the
city of Pearson was named.
She was a woman of robust health
and great activity. After her
husband’s death she lived at the
old home and saw her children
glow up to womanhood and man
hood, marry and go out into the
world to make homes of their own.
All of her children married except
two —Dora and S. T. Dora died
without marrying. S. T., the
youngest son, has never married.
He and his mother lived together
at the old home and she did all
of her household work up to hut
a short time ago when she was
taken with her lakt illness.
Mrs. Kirkland was a consistent
member of the Methodist church,
and had been for many years. She
illustrated the religion she pro
fessed by her daily walk and con
vernation and so her death bad no
terrors, quietly going to sleep,
triumphant in a living faith.
She died at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Elmer Corbitt.
The interment was at Antioch
cemetery, where her husband and
children were laid to rest, Tues
day afternoon. Her pastor, Rev.
\V. (’. Kahn, officiated at the
funeral and interment.
The Tribune extends to all the
sorrowing relatives its sincere con
dolence.

Lankford Blocks Tie Legisla
tion.
Representative Lankford of the
Eleventh District of Georgia re
cently in congress blocked the pass
age of a measure of Representative
Dyer of Missouri, to investigate
the railroad tie situation and seek
for a substitute for pine and other
wood ties.
Representative Dyer urges, that
it is necessary for the Government
to endeavor to find some material
for ties other than wood.
Representative Lankford insists
that such an investigation would
involve useless expenditure of
money, that no tie can be found
superior to the wood tie, and that
there is, as yet, no such scarcity of
wood ties as to cause alarm. He
urges that the Dyer measure is
only an effort to fiud some cheap
inferior substitute for wood ties
and thereby hurt the tie industry
of the pine belt and other timber
section.
Representative Lankford says
an inferior tie would not take the
place of wood ties, but would be
used only in an unjust competition
with wood ties.
Judge Lankford objected to the
present consideration of the meas
ure and succeeded in having it
stricken from the calendar.
The Tribune is requested to an
nounce that a protracted meeting
will begin at Sunny-Side Free Will
Baptist church on Monday after
the second Sunday in November.
Everybody in the community are
cordially invited to attend all of
the services.
