Faltered at the Postoiflce In IV-arsem. Georgia.
Ah mall matter ol the second cliiKfi.
Onr good women must lay askh
their native modesty and assumi
the role of voters. They must
register and prepare for any fulun
emergency in order to turn evil t<
good aeeount. Il is a ease of self
protection.
The newspapers whose editors
use canned editorials, are frequent
ly made io feel the silliness ol
their columns, because of the
stupid misfit, paragraphs which
they, in their hurry, fail to blue
pencil. The Tribune advises them
to quit hurrying, their work will
appear better, and they will go
through this world quick enough.
Chatham county will not be
represented at the Macon State
convention, for the reason that
Walker delegates will have no
power —no influence nor voice in
the gathering. It is also probable
that the Atkinson county dele
gates will not attend for the self
same reason. However, whatever
is done as affecting Atkinson ~oun
ty will be carefully looked after
at home.
The way a boy spends his money
indicates what his life will be.
The boy who wastes his money
buying useless or harmful things
will perad venture waste his time —
the stuff that makes up his life.
Young man, don’t spend your mo
ney buying useless or worthless
things, waste your time in idleness
or debauch yourselves by acquir
ing vicious habits.
In the railroad shuttling for ad
vantageous position the Central of
Georgia Itrilway will now deliver
“Dixie Flyer” and ‘‘Southland” to
the Atlantic Coast Line at Albany
instead of Tifton. The Southern
will operate two fast trains into
Jacksonville, over its own track
via Macon, Tifton and Valdosta —
one from the Central West and the
other from the North and East.
The most ludicrous proposition
ever placed before the intelligent
people of Georgia is that of the
Macon convention undoing what
was done in the San Francisco con
vention and disposing of Hon.
Clark Howell as National Commit
teeman from Georgia. It would
be like the "tail wagging the dog.”
Hut, not only some strange propo
positions but some st range actions
are being indulged in Georgia these
days.
The Hcurst newspapers, yclept
Atlanta Georgian and Sunday
American in Georgia, are the chief
journalistic backers of Senator
Harding's campaign. They are
more ardent in their support of
the Republican nominee than any
of the old time Republican jour
nals of Boston, New York and
Chicago. And Georgians are to
have a Ilearst newspaper as the
organ of their State administration
for the next two years at least.
God grant that loyal Georgia de
mocrats may not be in bondage
longer. The Tribune feels sure
this political hysteria will not
extend beyond one term —two
years.
Harry Stillwell Edwards, the
lilly-white Republican candidate
for I'nited States Senator from
Georgia, has furnished Gov. l>or
sey the names of the Republican
•electors and they will be placed
upon the ticket. Harry hopes to
get somewhere perforce of the di
vision in the Georgia democratic
ranks. So far as their platform
are concerned, their political creeds,
there is no difference between Tom
Watson and Harry Edwards; but
Tom is sailing under the banner of
democracy. The truth is, they
are both radicals.

POLITICAL VISIONS.
The manner in which some Geor
gians look at the political future
is not easily understood, and it
would appear they arc looking at
it with eager eyes and longing
hearts for places of honor in the
victorious camp.
They have been honored; they
love and worship prominence; they
will discard priuicple and friends
to attain to leadership in any sort
of a political wigwam. They yearn
to walk witli the exalted and many
times hasten to array themselves
in their true colors.
During the campaign, prior to
the September 8 primary, many
old time democrats were puzzled
to understand the attitude of John
X. Holder. When the proposition
was put up to him to get out of
ilie race, refused to do so unless
Hugh M. Dorsey would come out
of the senatorial race.
The reason for this condition
precedent was not apparent at
the time. John realized lie could
not be nominated for governor, but
lie was not ready to give up tin*
glare and glitter of public life. His
motives are now made manifest,
It is now announced with a nour
ish of trumpets that John, imme
diately after the September 8 pri
inary, joined with the Hardwick
forces and has become as radical
against the democratic administra
tion and its splendid achievements
for the past eight years as Hard
wick himself. John goes to the
Macon convention, on (lie 25th, at
the head of the Hardwick delega
tion from his home county, Jack-'
son.
Let's see if we can fathom John
Holder’s political vision, unravel
the political skein he reeled off
during the campaign and which
dictated the reply lie made to the
proposition to come out of the
governor’s race! John Holder
knew early in till' race that he
could not be nominated for gover
nor, and it looks very much like he
visited the enemy’s camp and made
an agreement to stay in the race
to insure Walker’s defeat. For
this he is to be rewarded by a seat
in the United States senate for
the short term should Tom Wat
son create a vacancy.
It had been thought that Hard
wick would return Hoke Smith to
tin- Senate; Hoke has fished for it.
Did not Hoke support Hardwick
and say that he had voted for him
“With a great deal of pleasure?"
Hardwick’s organ, Hcarat’s Geor
gian, published it and we have
seen no denial from any source.
Although repudiated by the
electorate of Georgia Tom Hard
wick sees danger in Hoke Smith
and he doesen’t propose to give
him any advantages whatever.
Hoke Smith like Tom Hardwick
wants to get back in the Senate,
and they have become'ant agonists.
Hardwick will endeavor to remain
governor until the end of Senator
Harris's term, when lie will make
another effort to go back to the
Senate for the full term.
John Holder tills the measure of
Tom Hardwick's wants in this de
lectable situation and a reward for
services is the basis of John Hold
er’s political vision.
There are other Georgians, more
or less prominent, defeated politi
cians, with similar visions, who are
building political scaffolds upon
which they will sometime be
“hanged as high as Hainan.”
The Met ter Advertiser strongly
favors the “Advertise Georgia
Enterprise,” but gives a timely
bit of advice; "Be sure that the
advertising you give Georgia is of
the right kind.” Brother Camp
must have reference to the result
of the recent primaries.
The Worth County Local thinks
that Georgia's provision crops are
short, and the tendendy of the
farmers to get back into the all
cotton net is ominous of bitter re
suits. The Local gives the inhu
mation that many thousands
of pounds of Western meat has
been shipped into Worth county
this yea- This sounds strange as
it was understood Worth county
was raising her supply of meat and
shipping a surplus to market.

House lias not yet been completed

Coffee Superior Court.
This tribunal convened Monday
morning with Judge James 1. Sum
moral I on the bench and Solicitor
Allen B. Spence representing the
interests of t he State.
The grand jnry was organized
with Mr. C. E. Baker as foreman.
Judge Gus. 1,. Brack was selected
as bailiff. After a concise and
pointed charge front the court, it
entered upon the discharge of its
duties with a heavy two weeks
work staring it in the face.
The trial court entered upon the
discharge of its duties with a spirit
that promised an honest effort to
do something toward cleaning up a
badly congested docket of civil
business.
The people of Coffee county,
after sad experience, have reached
the conclusion that their courts
should be held in conformity to
tlie statute unless prevented In
sure enough providential hindran
ees. such as death or epidemic of
disease.
Next week the court will con
vene for the trial of criminal busi
ness. There are twelve or four
teen indictments for murder, to
say nothing of other felonies.
In order to force evil disposed
people to respect the law and re
frain from taking the law in their
own bands, the courts must insure
speedy trials consistent with the
administration of justice, and meet
out swift and adequate punishment.
The lax administration of justice
the past few years in Coffee and
other South Georgia counties has
been due to the fact that the
courts have been held indiffereut-
Torpid liver
Black-Draught “has no equal
for headache, sour stomach, tor
pid liver and feverish colds .
declares Mrs. Annie Whitmore,
of Gate City, Va. “It is easy to
take and does not gripe, as a
lot of medicines do,” she adds.
“It is good to take in a hot tea
for colds, or can be taken in a
dry powder. I can’t say enough
for Black-Draught and the sick
ness it has saved us.”
Thedford’s
BUCK-DRAUGHT
has been found a valuable liver
medicine,in thousandsof homes.
“I do not use any other liver
medicine,” says Mrs. Mary O.
Brown, of Europa, Miss. “It is
splendid for sour stomach, a ;
bad taste in the mouth or torpid '
liver. I keep it all the time, use !
it with the children and feel it
has saved us many dollars in
doctor bills and many days in
bed.”

ly. The law breaker who can give
bond deems himself safe from pun
ishment. The courts succeed in
clearing the jail and adjourns. The j
bond cases go untried until the
witnesses die or can’t be found,
and the ease winds up with the
Solicitor being forced to nolle
prosequi. The case is absolutely 1
worn out.
The people of the several conn-1
tics are to blame for I bis state of;
affairs and it grows out of selfish
ness —they think more of self-in- ■
Iciest than t hoy do of the public j
welfare, it seems to bean easy;
matter to draw and present to the
Judge a set of resolutions, oral
petition, requesting that lie post i
pone the holding of the court.
The Judge is between the upper
and nether stones; he takes the
matter undei advisement, and fin
ally yields to their importunity.
The system that begets such a sit
uation should be abolished and the
Judges placed where they can act.
