Since the Ash burn project has
shown the possibilities of profit in
dairying in South Georgia, progres
sive men in other sections are tak
ing interest in it. Mr. Mills B.
Lane, for hitnself and the Citizens
and Southern Bank of Savannah,
is offering to finance a creamery in
Chatham county.
Girls, boys, read the Tribune’s
advertisement on the fourth page
of this issue. By soliciting sub
seriotions for the Tribune you can
accomplish two things—s bo w
your appreciation of your county
paper, which is devoted to your
interest, and earn some Christmas
money for yourself. Try it.
An important meeting to be held
in Waycross, December 9th, is that
of representatives of the American
Legion from the several counties
of the Eleventh congressional dis
Diet. The object of the meeting
is to perfect the organization in the
district, to enlist every ex service
man in the district in the activity
of the organization.
The time has come when our
farmers should begin planning for
the 1922 farming operations. Now
is the time to plan and inanufac
lure a big pile of home-made com
post and save the money you would
spend for commercial fertilizers. It
is not too early to plan the variety
of crops you will plant and prepare
for planting. Every plan should
embrace a bountiful supply of food
and feed crops.
Just because there is financial
depression throughout tlje country
is no reason wiiv public improve
menta should be discontinued. The
Tribune favors an extension of
improvements and the turning
loose now of every dollar possible
among the people, but opposed to
extravagance at any time. The
public money should be expended
economically at all times, but to
board money until times get bet
ter is not a proper public policy.
To expend money and keep it in
the channels of trade is the best
way to inaugurate better financial
conditions.
The late grand jury serving in
Lowndes superior court showed
itself a real busy body iu ferreting
out violations of law'. It jumped
on everybody and everything that
didn't “lino up to taw.” The coun
ty commissioners were the butt of
some severe recommendations —
they were ordered to discharge
county policeman J. G. Crowley
and not to employ him again in
any capacity whatever, after find
ing several indictments against
him for malfeasance in office; the
commissioners were also instructed
to seud none but commissioned
and bonded officers of Lowndes
county into other states to bring
prisoners back for trial. It re
commended the abolition of the
office of County Police and that
one man be employed to operate
in connection with the Sheriff s
office. It also issued a manifesto
against the sale of road bonds for
at least twelve months; against
the board of commissioners con
tractiug with members of the board
in any matter where the county is
interested. It also recommended
a reduction of expenses iu the en
foreemeut of the Ellis Health law.
They must have acted upon the
the old idea that public, as well as
private, servants need an oceas
pional "jacking up.”
SUPT. WHITE RE-INSTATED.
The appeal of Supt. J. G. White
in the matter of charges filed
against him by the County Board
of Education was heard before
•State Supt. M. L. Brittain, on Sat
urday, the 19th instant. His de
cision was held up for a week, and
last Friday he reversed the ruling
of the County Board of Education
and reinstated Mr. White as Coun
ty Superintendent of Schools of
Atkinson county.
This ruling is not necessary final,
hut as the Tribune views the mat
ter no good can be promoted by
■arrying it any further. The pow
ers that be, official and political,
have demonstrated that (hey main
tain the doctrine of “Vox Popuii,
vox I)ei,” at all hazards. N’or can
any good be accomplished by re
calling or rehearsing the facts in
the case, or in any manner com
menting upon Them. Neither can
any good coine of the threatened
damage suit against the individual
members of the County Board of
Education. It would prove mere
child’s play.
The Tribune editor has carefully
surveyed the whole affair, in which
the paper lias taken no partisan
stand, and admonishes all parties
to drop the matter, every part and
particle of the crimination and re
crimination that has been indulged
in, and look forward solely to the
good of the children of the county;
do their best to furnish them with
comfortable school buildings and
capable teachers. "Act well your
part; there all the honor lies.”
OFFENDING SYCAMORES.
The editor of the Tribune have
long contended that Sycamore
trees are undesirable from a num
ber of standpoints.
They grow very rapidly; they
make a shade tree quickly —and
this is the only feature about them
that wins with the people who is
seeking a shade tree.
It is a tree that seeks moisture;
the roots grow very rapidly near
the top of th(‘ ground in the direc
tion of your well or pump, and
when they reach their destination
contaminate the water and renders
it unpalatable and unwholesome.
Mr. Oren Gatchell had this fact
demonstrated to liis satisfaction
when he lived at Leliaton. The
trees were planted one hundred
feet or more from the well. The
roots of the trees soon reached this
source of moisture and destroyed
his supply of drinking water. He
then curbed the well with terra
cotta pipe and fora while had good
water, but it was not long before
it was also contaminated.
These thoughts were suggested
by a story which came from Val
dosta which says: "The roots of
the sycamore trees which line
many of the residence streets of
Valdosta, actually growing through
the joints of sewer pipes and stop
up the sewers.” This was demon
strated as a fact some time since
when a sewer pipe was stopped up
iu the eastern part of the city. An
excavation was made to remedy
the trouble and it xvas found that
“A large mass of roots had pushed
off the cement where the joints of
the pipe had been fastened togeth
er, prying the boll of the pipe
apart. The mat of roots taken out
was more than a foot loug and had
completely filled a four-inch pipe
so that water could no longer pass
through.”
Sycamore trees are a unis.vice in
other ways, but this is sufficient to
convince the people of Pearson and
Atkinson county that they are an
undesirable tree to have about the
place.
There is a movement on foot now
in Valdosta to condemn and rid
the city of these trees aud substi
tute pecan trees.
The danger of junking the twelve
District Agricultural Schools have
passed. The Tribune has never
felt that there was any danger
that any of them would suffer from
the legislative suspicion which
crept to the front last summer so
threateningly. The probe institut
ed will result in arousing an inter
est in them which will prove of
decided benefit to the schools.
PEARSON TRIBUNE. PEARSON. GEORGIA. DECEMBER 2, 1921
THERE IS VIGOR
IN RICH BLOOD.
Pepto-Mangan in
Liquid or Tablets
a Blood Builder.
Vigor and strength have as their
base rich red blood. Blood is rich
when there are plenty of red cor
puscles. They are the tiny red
cells which swim in blood and give
it its color. Without red cor
puscles blood would be white.
When overwork, or straining, or
illness weakens the blood, it di
minishes the number of red cells.
Without a sufficient numberof red
cells the blood becomes watery,
the body wea k. Vigor and
strength fall off, so that physical
life diminishes like a fading plant.
The physical pleasures of eating
and sleeping and exercise lose all
ttraction. There is no zest in
living.
After Gude’s Pepto-Mangan has
been taken for a while the blood
becomes rich with red cells. They
help to nourish the entire system.
With good blood at work there is
a great difference in living. Eat
ing, sleeping and exercise are en
joyed. All druggist sell (Jude's

AROUND THE CIRCLE.
Fitzgerald sustained a $275,000
loss by fire Tuesday morning. One
block in the business section of the
city was practically wiped out.
The amount of insurance is stated
to be very small.
The Lowndes county chain gang
consist of seventy prisoners—fif
teen whites and fifty five colored.
This gang should be able to build
some county roads —making of
them permanent good roads.
Mr. Joe Pafford has been elected
a "Steward,” not “Stewart,” of
Trinity Methodist church at Way
cross. The Tribune regrets the
mispelling of the word Steward in
its announcement of last week.
Rev. E. F. Morgan was transfer
red by the conference from being
Presiding Elder of the Waycross
District to be pastor of the First
Church at Waycross, and host to
the 1922 session of the annual con
ference.
Judge W. E. Thomas, of the
Southern judicial circuit, is receiv
ing numerous boqnets upon his
strenuous efforts to erforce the
law and suppress crime in the
counties of his circuit. The grand
juries say he is succeeding.
Miss Lois May of Adel and Mr.
Asa Day, of Douglas, where united
in marriage Wednesday afternoon,
•I o'clock, at the home of the
bride’s parents in Adel. The hap
py couple left at 5 o'clock for Flor
ida points on a bridal trip.
The fourth semi-annual session
of Brantley superior court is being
held this week. Judge J. 1. Sum
merall presiding aud Solicitor A.
B. Spence looking after the inter
est of the State. Hon. J. K. Lar
kin is foreman of the grand jury.
Every department of the court is
moving along smoothly.
The Tribune chronicles the
death of Hon. A. A. Walden, of
Millwood, which sad event occur
red late Monday night. The fu
neral and interment took place
Wednesday morning. His oldest
son was a victim of Otronto dis
aster, off the coast of Ireland, dur
ing the world war, aud the loss of
his sou had much to do with has
tening his death. He is survived
by his w ife and several children.
A company of progressive gentle
men have purchased the Bank’s
millpond, over in Lanier county,
and propose to use its water to
operate a hydro electric light and
power plant. The owners of the
pond reserved a week's fishing
privilege; the water is being let off
and the fishing will begin next.
Tuesday aud continue until Satur
day uight. The work of puttiiig
in the plant will follow the big
fishing. It is hoped the project
will prove a success.
Feeding the Orphans.
Sunday, the lltb of December,
will be observed as Orphan’s T>ay;
by the Pearson Baptist Sunday-!
School, when an offering is to be j
made for the Baptist Orphanage at
Ilapevilie, near Atlanta-
It is the time of year when Bap
tist churches throughout the State
are taking thought of the orphan
children committed to their care.
The Tribune is pleased to note
that the Cordele and Tbomasville
churches are leading off in their
care for these orphans by each
sending car loads of home raised
farm products—food, such as corn,
sweet potatoes, syrup, rice, bacon,
etc.
The churches in the neighbor
hood aud accessible to Dawson,
Parrott and Richland have com
bined to send another ear load of
provisions December 13th to 15th.
Referring to the thoughtfulness
of these churches the Tifton Ga
zette suggests that these “and
many other things that the or
phan’s home can use just as well as
it c an use money —things for which
oth -rwise the cash must be paid.”
The editor, Mr. John L. Herring
concludes, "We can imagine the
cordial reception the home will
give each of those ear loads of food;
of the little fellows looking on or
aiding in the unloading with water
ing mouths and glistening eyes as
they are shown how their friends
in South Georgia love and remem
ber them.”
Why not the churches in this
section follow this example in their
offerings for the orphanage. There
is plenty of food; so let us give
food instead of money, which is so
scarce and hard to spare. How
ever. not to take the place of the
Sunday-School offering.

Alabama Lady Was Sick For Three
Years, Suffering Pain, Nervous
and Depressed—Read Her
Own Story of Recovery.
Paint Rock, Ala. —Mrß. C. M. Stegall,
of near here, recently related the fol
lowing interesting account of her re
covery: “I was in a weakened con
dition. I was sick three years in bed.
Buffering a great deal of pain, weak,
nervous, depressed. I was so weak,
I couldn't walk across the floor; just
had to lay and my little ones do the
work. I was almost dead. I tried
every thing I heard of, and a number of
doctors- Still l didn't get any relief.
I couldn't eat, and slept poorly. I
believe if I hadn’t heard of and taken
Cardul I would, have died. I bought
six bottles, after a neighbor told me
what it did for her.
**l began to eat and sleep, began to
gain my strength and am now well
and strong. I haven’t had any trou
ble since ... I sure can testify to the
good that Cardul did me. I don't
think there Is a better tonic made
and I believe It saved my life.”
For over 40 years, thousands of wo
men have used Cardui successfully,
in the treatment of many womanly
ailments.
If you suffer as these women did,
take Cardui. It may help you, too.
