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.

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.”

AXSON DISTRICT.
Friends having insisted that I
make the race for Commissioner of
Roads and Revenues for the Axson
District of Atkinson county. I yield
to their wishes. Should Ibe elect
ed I promise au economical admin
istration of county affairs and will
insist on keeping the liabilities on
a balance with the county’s re
sources. 1 will serve the people
along these lines to the best of us
ability. 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.”
