Mr. N. E. Harrell spent the first
of the week ;vt. Colon, <ia., looking
after his sawmill interests down
t here.
It is an easy matter to raise
wages, bnl to lower them may
cost you the destruction of your
properly. This is the spirit of
Itolshevism.
Our electric light man lias been
putting us to bed at 10:•!<). Ardent
swains are now on notice that he
must go promptly at 10:00 o’clock.
Now what do you think of that?
Mr. Sam Smith has purchased
from Mr. Jeff Kirkland a residence
lot across Bullard street and front
ing Mr. C. F. Murray’s new home,
lie will soon commence the eree
tion of a new and comfortable
bungaloo residence.
Heph/.ibah, one of the many
orphanages of this State, had a
representative here Wednesday
soliciting alms for liis charge*. Our
ever sympathetic citizen, Mr. .). <).
White, donated a 55 gallon barrel
of splendid Georgia cane syrup.
Other citizens contributed to the
cause, and no doubt the represent
ative was satisfied with his day’s
work.
The Tribune is glad that a good
start has been made in the organ
ization of the County Marketing
Association. There, should beat
least one hundred members report
ing to the secretary, (jy the 15th
of April, what crops and how many
acres of each crop they expect to
market through the Association.
Then let confidence abound among
the members, all work together in
harmony, and the result will be
good to all concerned.
Few people know how to exorcise
thrift. The great majority folfibw
the policy of spending all and too
often more than they earn, taking
no heed to the fact that the time
is speedily coming their way when
their earning capacity will be less
ened and find them hopelessly in
debt —a very unpleasant position
to be in. In youth they waste
their substance in riotous living
and old age finds them in poverty
and too often* —friendless. The
old adage, “A wilful waste is al
ways followed by a woeful want,”
remains true.
So many men lack real manhood
and draw back from responsibility.
They lack individuality, always
depending on some one else. It is
a pitiful sight to see a human be
ing with trousers on who can’t
walk up to an emergency like a
man and be a real man. Govern
ment paternalism is yearly round
ing out a crop of just such men.
When law makers pledge the gov
eminent to look after the educa
tion, the health and the general
welfare of the boys and girls of the
country it commits a dual crime
against the people. It first robs
the parents of their responsibility
in the care and education of tlieir
children: parents learn to wait for
this paternalism and to be satisfi
ed with what the government does
for their sous and daughters. Sec
ond it robs the boys and girls of
their self-reliance, their self depend
ence. From infancy a boy should
Ik* made to shoulder some respon
sibility and thus grow into real
manhood, capable of initiating and
working out the groat problems of
life and industry, a full grown boy
with a real man inside. A strong
character like a great oak cannot
be grown in a day. It is the growth
of rigid training: it takes storms,
cold, heat, wet and dry all togeth
er to make a st rong oak and no
real man was ever developed by
soft methods. It is a mistaken
kindness, and in fact cruelty, to
rear a child without making him
bear some real burdens.
Saturday Night Tragedy.
'1 here was peanut popping at the
home of Mr. Charlton McClendon
in the Mt. Zion community, At
kinson county, last Saturday night.
As is usual at such social and busi
ness gatherings. quite a number
of people were present.
In the community lived a young
man by the name of Robert Vining
who, as the story comes to the
Tribune, had been convicted of
some offense in one of the courts
of Coffee county and during some
excitement in the court room,
caused by the sounding of a fire
alarm, he took “French” leave of
Sheriff Tanner and had been at
large ever since.
A reward of SSO had been offer
ed by tin; Coffee county authority
and Sheriff Leggett, of Atkinson
county, was requested to pick him
up at llie first opportunity. Sheriff
Leggett had a tip that Vining
would probably be at tlx* peanut
popping, and lie decided to make
an effort, to apprehend and deliver
him to the Sheriff of Coffee county.
So, at a late hour, Sheriff Leg
get put in his appearance at the
peanut popping and, as soon as
Vining saw him he ran out of the
house into the dark, quickly fol
lowed by the Sheriff who flashed
a light upon him and soon one or
more shots were fired. Vining ran
again. The Sheriff’s flashlight was
in some way put out of commis
siou, and could not follow him.
t illing ran in a different direc
tion from what the Sheriff and the
crowd thought and they failed to
locate him until next morning he
was found in the rear of the little
field, in which the home was en
closed, dead. A bullet from the
sheriff's pistol pierced the left
breast, near the throat and ranged
downward and came out on the
right side of the spinal column.
Sheriff Leggett was arrested
Monday afternoon and lodged in
the Coffee county jail. He at once
demanded a commitment trial,
which was set for Wednesday, but
the Solictor-General being busy in
Clinch superior court the trial was
postponed until next Tuesday,
April 12th.
The Tribune gives only the bare
facts of the killing, the arrest and
demand for trial, expressing no
opinion, as it has no desire to prej
udice the cause of either side of
the deplorable affair until the evi
dence becomes a matter of record
at the commitment.
More Food and Greater
Prosperity
Dear Editor: —The Atlanta Jour
nal states that a northern tourist,
while stoppiug in Greenville, S.
on his return trip from Florida,
was asked how so many farmers
from the north could afford to
make such trips. His reply was:
"We sell our hay, corn and oats to
you cotton farmers, and we grow
our own foodstuffs.”
I)o you catch the ideal We, as
southern farmers have been de
pending upon cotton and it has
“stuck” us. The northern farm
ers have been raising their own
foodstuffs and they have prospered.
While the northern farmers are
touring Florida and other points,
enlarging their vision and having
a grand time, we are at home with
our pencil and paper figuring the
loss on our last year’s crop of cot
ton.
Farmers, the time has come and
is now here, when we must not de
pend upon cotton alone, but a vari
ety of crops; foodstuffs such as
corn, hay and oats, all the north
ern farmers can raise, aud then
turn tables and ship to them Geor
gia cane syrup and sweet potatoes;
something they cannot raise, but
would be glad to buy if we would
only rais» them.
V hen we quit depending upon
cotton, plant foodstuffs, co-operate,
work together aud sell together,
.southern farmers will be able to
take a vacation in tlieir “Tin Liz
Acs . and every southern farmer's
home will be a wiuter resort with
in itself.
Surely, when the world is crying
for food, a superabundance cannot
bo raised. c. M. J.

Tiie average country newspaper
may be full of optimism, courage,
faith and high ideals, but it is
scarce on advertising. Too many
business men either have no deli
uite purpose for the new year or
lefuse to back up their convictions
by advertising in the home paper.
It is a significant fact that during
the dull periods the mail order
houses go after the business harder
than ever. —Washington News-Re

Judge R. G. Dickerson set the

of Berrien superior court by plac

Citizens of Colquitt county
charge the county policemen with
autocracy in the administration of

Atlanta's Lakewood Park offiei
als are planning one of the biggest
sporting events ever held south of
the Mason and Di.xson Line as an
opening feature for their 1(121 Park
season scheduled for Saturday,
April 16th.
Automobile racing lias proven
one of the biggest drawing cards
as a single attraction at tlie South
eastern Fair and has also proven
its ability to draw thousands of
speculators at the independent
spring races which have been held
annually for the past four years
during the opening week of the
Park.
This year the Automobile lace
program has been scheduled for
the opening day and since the first
of February negotiations have been
underway to secure for the curtain
raiser the greatest field of famous
ears and drivers that lias ever
started over the Lakewood track
or any other track in the South
east.
Four thousand dollars has been
hung up for the one day of racing
and already promises have been
secured from the owners of at least
six fast mounts that wintered in
the south and no less than six or
eight entries will be shipped from
the north to compete for the pool
ed purses of Atlanta, Savannah,
Birmingham, Ala., Dallas, Texas.
Shreveport and New Orleans. La.,
Nashville and Memphis. Teun..
Kansas City, Mo., which will total
over :$5,000.00.
One of the extra features of the
race program is local a event over
a ten mile distance which is open
only to Georgia owned ears and
Georgia drivers which bids fair to
rival in interest the professional
races and it is planned to award
the State championship to the
winner of the event. Inquiries
have beeu received for entry blanks
to this event from all over the
state of Georgia and the officials

A ride over the Tift county roads
