It is amusing to see and hear tin different newspaper men and wo men insist, and insist, that theii particular host and hostess al Quitman were tin* best of all. And they were all correct about it. They have all learned the worth ol civility and genuine hospitality — and in these things they are as one. The Georgia newspapers continue to sing the praises of Quitman. Brooks county, the cordial hospit ality of her genial gentlewomen and gentlemen, the progressiveness of Brooks county farmers and to give evidence of the existence of real home cured Brooks county hams, and other good things Loo numerous to mention. The Fifth Sunday meeting held at Ml. Olive Baptist church, Fear son, is reported to have been a most delightful and successful meeting, among the colored citizens of the city and vicinity. Elder E. Pittman presided as Moderat or and Elder J. I‘. Pearson as Sec retary. More than SIOO was rain ed for the Old Folk’s Home project alone. This is the last fifth Sunday meeting before tlx* meeting of the Great Eastern Association of which it is a part. Savannah had the Georgia solons and all the other big guys for her guests last Saturday and showed them all courtesies. She pressed her claims for the State port of entry, and committed the present legislature to her project but, alas, this fixing business will have to be done over and over again before they reach the desired end. One thing is true: legislation costs high these days. It will be many a year before Georgia will have a slate owned port of entry worthy of the name anywhere. “Seest though a man that is hasty in his words! '['here is more hope of a fool than of him,” says King Solomon. The same can be said of a man who goes about the country —as has Gov. Hardwick — denouncing everybody who dis agrees with him and his policies. Two years ago he described the country editor as “a man owning a shirt-tail full of type and a week's credit.” A man of Hardwick's calibre is too small to attract the attention of decent folk, much more to entrust with official power. The Tribune regrets to learn of the death of Mr. Clem Davis, which occurred at his homo in Willacoochee Tuesday afternoon, after an illness of only three days. Mr Davis was born and reared in Pierce county but has been a resi dent of Willacoochee for about twenty years, where be was engag ed in the drug business, and has made Willacoochee and Atkinson county a most exemplary citizen. His demise will be mourned by many relatives ami He was highly regarded by all with whom he came in contact. Elder S. E. Bliteh is visiting at the home of his son in law, Col. L. A. Hargreaves, 110 preached at the Baptist church Sunday, morn ing and evening, and was gladly heard by attentive congregations. He came here from Norman Park, where he had officiated at the funeral of his and our friend, Hon. M. K. NeSmitb. who represented Colquitt county iu the legislature aud voted for the creation of At kinson county. He is also gather ing materials for a Baptist bistory of South Georgia, partaking of the nature of history aud biography. Those who have promised him sketches will please send them to him promptly to Brunswick, care of the Oglethorpe Hotel. Mrs. Bliteh has been here for some time aud, although very feeble, has been strong enough to attend church gad Sunday School. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. Tuesday at noon expired the time limit for entering the race for Commissioner of Roads and Revenues of Atkinson county. The entrants are Messrs. F. M. Cowart, A. 'l'. Minchew and Y. O. Mathews for the Axson district; Messrs. L. L. Sutton, .J. T. Doug ass and H. Maneil, Jr., for the Pearson district: Messrs. Dennis Peterson and Geo. F. McCranie, Sr., for the Willacoochee district. These are all gentlemen and good citizens, men of integrity and the Tribune believes that any of them who succeeds in winning the elec tion will do their utmost to give Atkinson county efficient service. The Tribune is constrained just now to say that the selection of Commissioners of Roads and Reve nues for any county is a matter demanding the most serious con sideration by the citizens. They are the general managers of county affairs which should be conducted in a business like manner, and it is a reasonable conclusion that citizens should be awake to the duty of selecting the best business talent the county possesses for these places, and no citizen should be too busy with private affairs to decline the call of his fellow-citizens for service. Loyalty to the county, the State and the nation requires that every citizen should make reasonable sacrifices for the good of all the people interested. Just at this juncture of Atkinson county af fairs, passing through the crisis of babyhood, she needs the services of her best business talent; this crisis requires business sagacity to work out her problems and keep her in a healthy financial and physical condition. The Tribune does not hesitate to say that it would have been far better could at least one of the members of the present Board be retained in the service of the county—preferably lion. Jesse M. Roberts, who has been connected with the Board since its creation and almost from the time Atkinson county began to function. The management of the present Board of Commissioners lias been unduly criticised; not only that, but they have been the subjects of undeserved personal abuse; the result is they have flatly refused to stand for re-election. The Tri bune expresses its entire confidence in these three men. They have wrought well; no three men in the county would have done better, and the new hands who shall come to the forge will find it just that way. Thefee men went into office three years ago without a cent in the treasury, the county practical ly without any internal improve ments —her roads and bridges out of repair—with a new tick eradi cation law* to be observed and no vats or fixtures on hand for that purpose. They have made pro gress aud deserve the thanks, rather than the abuse, of the peo pie. The outlook for the next two years is that the county will have an entire new Board of Commis sioners, men who will need no new laws or regulations, but they will need the hearty eo operation of all the people and without it all their efforts to conduct the affairs of the county on an economical and progressive basis will end in failure and discouragement. Let's have less criticism aud abuse and more helpfulness in the future. The county deserves this at your hands. FOR COMMISSIONER. PEARSON DISTRICT. The undersigned announces his candidacy for Commissioner of Roads and Revenues for the Pear sou District of Atkinson county. I make no special promises of what 1 will or will uot do for the people in the event of my election, except to do my best to give them an economical, and au efficient, ad ministration of county affairs. I solicit the support and assistance of the voters of Atkinson county. If elected 1 will give the people the best serviceof which 1 am capable. Respectfully submitted. John T. Douglass. PEARSON TRIBUNE. PEARSON, GEORGIA, AUGUST 4. 1922 How The Master Driver Became Master Tire Builder IN 1903, driving the "999” racing car, Barney Oldfield started his career of victories that later earned him the title of “Master Driver of The World.” To over come the tire weaknesses that made racing difficult and dangerous, he studied tires—specified materials— supervised construction. Today, Barney Oldfield is known as the ‘‘Master Tire Builder.” Starting with the crude tires which carried the “999” one mile in sixty seconds, Oldfield gradually de veloped his famous Cords—a set of which covered 500 miles at eighty eight miles an hour without a change. In three years Oldfield tires have won every important race on Amer ican speedways. They are the only THE PEARSON GARAGE. Indigestion Many persons, otherwise vigorous and healthy, are bothered occasionally with Indigestion. The effects of a disordered stomach on the system are dangerous, and prompt treatment of Indiges tion is important "The only medicine I have needed has been something to aid diges tion and clean the liver," writes Mr. Fred Ashby, a McKinney, Texas, farmer. “My medicine is Bedford's SLACK-DRAUGHT for indigestion and stomach trouble of any kind. I have never found anything that touches the epot, like Black- Draught. I take It In broken doses after meals. For a long time I tried pills, which grip ed and didn’t give the good results. Black-Draught liver medicine is easy to take, easy to keep, inexpensive.” Get a package from your druggist today—Ask for and insist upon Thedford's —the only genuine.

Respectfully, Y. O. Mathews. American tires that have ever taken first place in the French Grand Prix. They have won for three consecu tive years in the 500-mile Indian apolis Sweepstakes. So far in 1922, Oldfields have lowered four World’s Records and seven track records. The Wichita Test Run gave evi dence of Oldfield superiority in tour ing—when a set of four Cords cov ered 34,525 miles over rutted, frozen, winter roads—a performance at tested by the Mayor of Wichita. See your dealer and get a set of these rugged tires that Barney Old field has developed and perfected through a lifetime of practical tire experience. Their performance will convince you that they are ‘‘The Most Trustworthy Tires Built.” i is ATTENTION FARMERS!
