Subscription price. sl.ooa year In ad vance. Advertising rat«s are liberal and will b* made known on application. < 'opy for matter intended for publicatioi must reach tlilH office not later than Wednes day afternoon to insure Insertion In the cui rent issue. All legal and political advertising payable In advancc- Uards of thanks, obituaries, resolutions notices and all matter not strictly news wll be charged for at regular rates. The right Is reserved to edit or re-arrantn copy. No responsibility Is assumed for opinion expressed by correspondents or contributors The Tribune acknowledges the receipt of Senator Miles I’oindex tor’s announcement for the Repub lican nomination for President. Had to put it in the waste basket; too few of his kind down this way. __ . -g Editor Frier, of the Enterprise, intimates if he could locate the author of that fake Douglas scan dal, appearing in the Macon Tele graph, there would not be “hair nor hide” left. But, Willie sup pose it was a female! , Cotton quotations for good mid dling upland is soaring towards 40c, and Sea Island 75c the pound; spirits turpentine at $1.60 per gal lon. The indications are these prices will vary but little up or down during the winter and spring. What “Little Joe" Brown wrote five years ago regarding the “union label" and the “great seal of state" is being verified these days. It shows that "Little Joe" was not only the wisest, but most courage oub of the men in public life in those days. —Valdosta Times. The late Atkinson county grand jury was a “good" one, for six of its members were clergymen, viz., Daniel Roberts, George W. Had sock, Daniel J. Pearson, David M. Douglass, L. M. Guthrie and Mon roe Carver —two Methodists, one Congregationalist and three Bap tists. The jury, though handicap ped, performed excellent service. Superior court has been in ses sion at Pearson this week with Judge Robert Dickerson presiding and if reports are correct the new Judge made the boys sit up and take notice. In addition to being an able lawyer Bob Dickerson is a man with a lot of good common sense and there can be no question hut that he will make one of the best Judges in this state. —Coffee County Progress. The Tribune publishes this week two citations for public roads. Both arr important highways and should be cut out and put in good condition as early as practicable. The road from Pearson to the southwestern section of the county has been needed for many years and now, under the changed eon dition of affairs, becomes an im perative necessity. The route sug gested will traverse high ridge laud quite the entire distance and can be put in excellent condition ■at small cost. Let these roads be accepted and put in good shape at an early date. Syrup making will begin in South Georgia at the first appear ance of frost. Already many thou sands of stalks have been placed in banks for seed next year. In some sections the cane crops have been injured by the drouth, but it is conceded that more than an average crop will be harvested. The Cordele Dispatch predicts “that a much greater area of laud will be plautcd to sugar cane next year —from six to ten acres on every farm —requiring greatly in creased facilities for manufacturing the cane into syrup.” There is a large territory bordering on the Okefinokee swamp, embracing a number of counties, specially adapted to growing sugar cane, aud the Tribune is quite sure the farmers in this territory will in crease their sugar cane crops at least one hundred per eent next year. It beats growing cotton. TIMELY TOPICS. Hon. Pleasant A. Stovall, U. S. Minister to Switzerland, has ten dered his resignation and as soon is it is accepted, will return to his home in Savannah, lie lias been in the diplomatic service about seven years, embracing the period if the world war, when his duties vert* exceedingly strenuous and he teeds rest and recuperation. State Tax Commissioner Full night is making a strong effort at ax equalization. For this pur >ose he is calling for interviews itli tax officials of the State by ;roups of counties. Jn this way ic hopes to arrive at a level valu ition of the lands embraced in the several groups as will prove to be •quitablc between the State and the land owners. A Way or oss groceryman, Charles Kent, has been arrested by a I'lilt ed States Marshal under a warrant charging him with profiteering in sugar, selling it at 20c a pound. This is the first prosecution in this section under the profiteering Act, but it will not be the last unless the merchants dispense with profit eering. The program of fun for the “Waycross Prosperity week" is complete and nothing more can be desired in that line. The Show opens next Monday and will last six days. There will headdresses delivered in the interest of various progressive movements. There will be something to interest every body, even to a horse swappers con vention. A dozen vessels are now at Sa vannah wharves taking on cargoes chiefly cotton. This is influencing the price of cotton, which‘is now quoted above 39c for upland and 75c for Sea Island. The Tribune has never doubted for a moment that when foreign purchasers came into the market cotton would bring 40c and upward. It is now within a half cent of that price and slowly going to higher figures. Harmony Grove Items. Mr. Henry O’Brien made a busi ness trip to Valdosta this week. Harmony Grove school open each Monday morning with the inten tion of doing better work than the past week. Prof. Douglas is looking rather sleepy this week from attending the carnival and being up so late last week. Miss Bessie Morgan went to Nashville Sunday to begin her school. She was accompanied by Mr. Joe Maine. The Harmony Grove teachers and pupils have organized a volley ball team. The fun will be enjoy ed by each and every child. Miss Ethel Paige and MissLuce na Spivey spent the week end at the latter’s home, attended church and had a general good time. Miss Rebecca Ncogent and her brother, Jesse, left Sunday night to attend school at Mt. Berry, Ga. Wish them both much success. We have at Harmony Grove this term an Inman pupil, Miss Lucena Spivey. She is attentive to her studies and is doiug good work. Mr. J. M. Batten is grinding cane this week. The Harmony Grove district is getting sweet, as many of the farmers are making syrup. Mr. Joe Maine, who has been at Chattanooga, Teun., for quite a w hile, is here visiting relatives and friends. He will return to his work in a few days. Misses Lillie Bryant and Mary Newborn spent the night with Miss Lucena Spivey Monday night. They had a game of ball, ate pecans, went fishing and had a jolly time generally. Harmony Grove school is pro gressing very nicely under the management of Prof. H. C. Doug las, as principal; Miss Ethel Paige as first assistant, and Miss Ethel Ratcliff as second assistant, 1917-1313. “Sugar Spuds" is a new name for sweet potatoes. It ought to be catchy for advertising purposes and we like the sugar part but the spuds sound as if they might rank with the Irish potato, and that isn’t fair. The sweet potato is an aris tocrat while the Irish potato is a common plebean.—Tifton Gazette. PEARSON TRTBTTNE, PEARSON, GEORGIA, NOVEMBER 7, 1919 Red Bluff Locals. Miss Louise James visited home folks Saturday and Sunday. Mr. D. A. Smith has returned from White Springs, Fia.,and says he enjoyed his stay there very much. Mrs. Mamie McDonald is visit ing her sister, Mrs. W. M. Sumner, at Pearson, but is expected at borne soon. The new school has been named Evergreen and we are all hoping it will live up to its name, which is a pretty one. The people of this community are getting ready for cane grind ing. They are going to look for “Nobody-Body,” as she has promis ed to come to the canegrinding. Prof. San key Booth, the county superintendent of schools, visited the school Friday afternoon, found everything to his notion and said the school is progressing nicely. There was a box social last Fri day night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Loekliear, given by the patrons of Providence school. There were six well filled boxes and they sold at a real good price. After the sale of boxes had been concluded, a cake with a dime under it was placed on the table, and everybody was given an oppor tunity of guessing the date when the dime was coined. The success ful guesser was permitted to buy the cake for a dime. Then ice cream was served; it went faster than hot cakes, indicating that everybody enjoyed it very much. The amount raised was $50.00 which Mr. A. J. Lock liar has used, as requested, in the purchase of an organ for the newly organized Methodist church. All present enjoyed the Social. “Some-Body.” Card of Thanks. The children of the late Mrs. Elizabeth Kirkland wishes to ten der their heartfelt thanks to the many friends who ministered in any way to her comfort and cheer during her last illness. They trust that these friends, when they come toward the end of life, may receive similar kindness from loving hearts and active hands. They pray God’s choicest blessings on one and all.
