The career of the late John
amuker, from boot black to
mere haul prince, is abundant evi
deuce of the value of newspaper
tie confessed lhat
'liec.'s, in lift- was due to strict
inu-grily in business brought to
him through persistent newspaper
advertising.
The Tribune is indebted to Mr.
E. M. North, Passenger Agent of
the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad,
for one of the road’s handsome 1923
calendars. lie has the Editor’s
thanks; it will be placed in a con
spiruous place in, the office for the
inspection of the office force and
visitors.
The Tribune editor acknowledges
the receipt of an invitation to at
tend the annual “Banquet and Bird
Supper” of the Nashville Chamber
of Commerce, sfhicb occurred lasi
night. These are always delight
ful occasions and the editor would
have been with his friends in the
good City of Nashville on tbaocca
sion did not an urgent business en
gagement prevent him from do
ing so.
A contract has been entered in
to between the Southern and the
Georgia & Florida.railways by vir
tue of which tlie new Pullman
train, "Bon Air Special.” is routed
ovgr the latter road —Augusta to
Valdosta, which is said to be the
shortest route from Washington,
I). G.,‘to Jacksonville, Fla. It is
practically a night train through
Georgia, but will prove a eonven
ience to our people who want lo
spend'a day in Jacksonville or Au
gusta. The trains stop at Willa
coochee and Douglas.
The Tribune notes that many of
its contemporaries, for the past
week were chock a-block with holi
day adverlisementß-*tnerchatits in
viting the people to come to their
stores to buy their holiday sup
plies. Wonder if the publishers of
these newspapers had to hustle
round to get these advertisements
aud accept them at cut rate prices?
Wonder if those merchants looked
upon the transaction as a gratuity
to the newspaper publisher? These
perhaps, are impertinent ques
tions, and yet —they may be per
tinent as a mirror in which both
parties may take a view of them
selves.
The Tribune commends the
charge of Judge Barrett to the
federal grand jury at Albany this
week, especially that portion of it
referring to the vagaries of the
Kn Klux Klau. He agrees with
the Tribune that present conditions
do not warrant the existence of
such an organization. However,
his appeal is made to the individ
ual Klansman to "stand eye to eye
and say whether he is willing to
overthrow the law courts, juries,
the officers of administration and
execution, the orderly processes of
inquiry and trial, however slow
and unsatisfactory now aud thou
may be— and leave his interests to
tne tender mercies of an ‘invisible
government.’ Will lviansmen abol
ish the courts, dismantle prisons,
tear up the Constitution and burn
statute books —and substitute for
them rule by men whose faees are
unseen and whose names are signed
to no legal document? Will a Elans
man dare trust his borne, his
daughter,,his young son, his prop
erty, to any band of men who wear
hoods and flowing robes, but whose
identity the wearers alone know!"
AROUND THE CIRCLE.
The McPhaul Institute at Syl
vester and a number of the larger
ffhiools of Worth county have been
dosed for a couple of weeks on ac
count of an epidemic of influenza
and pneumonia. These diseasfcs
have invaded a large portion of
Son lb west Georgia, and is causing
much apprehension.
The municipal affairs of the city
of Oordele will be transferred Jan
uary Ist to a Board of City Com
missioners and a* City Manager.
Who the City manager will be has
not yet been determined although
two of her citizens, Messrs. J. M.
Diffee and C. 1). Terrell, are being
considered for the place.
Among the indictments found at
the present term of the Federal
Court.at Albany was one charging
Samuel M. Watson, President of
First National Bank of Colquitt,
with ernbezzernent on thirty-two
counts. Another indictment charg
ed David A. Bragg, a national bank
officer of Fitzgerald with embezzle
rnent. Both cases are set for trial
at the June Term. 1923.
Mitchell county has an Agricul
tural school, "Hopeful” by name,
supported in part by the Smith-
Hughes Act, and its friends claim
it is doing a vast amount of good
for its pupils. The report of one
boy tells that he made a profit of
SIOO on a SSO investment in hogs.
Another pupil cleared $70.71 on
four acres planted to cotton. The
lessons they learn in thrift seems
worth while.
The Moultrie Creamery has been
sold under bankruptcy proceedings
to Mike Witman. a Macon attorney,
for $12,250. It is understood
Witman acted for interested part
ies and carries with it the belief
that it will be reorganized and re
opened at an early date. The
amount to be paid by Witman is
just, half the appraised value of the
property as a going concern. It is
the second largest plant Of its kind
in the Southeast.
The Court of Appeals has just
handed'down a decision in which
it is held that a mhnieipal ordin
ance prohibiting the residence in a
city of women who have in the
past been occupants of disorderly
houses, whether in lhat city or
elsewhere, unless they have em
ployment or income to support
themselves, or unless they “bear
good repute," is invalid for two
reasons —first, that it is retroactive
and, second, that it is unreasonable.
According to the report of
Mitchell county, recently made,
there are twenty-two distinctly
different types of soil within her
borders. The map’accompanying
the report enables the land owners
to know exactly what are the
characteristics of his soiL-vThe
map also indicates that some farms
in the county have several differ
ent types of soil. This survey was
begun in 1917 but was halted by
t he world war, and completed since
its close.
Citizens of Wayoross are discuss
ing seriously the financial situation
of the city and especially that of
the city schools. They have learn
ed by experience that a city of
twenty thousand population can
not educate her children with the
same amount of money required
for a city of fifteen thousand popu
lation. It is a fact which' all the
cities and towns of South Georgia
are meeting face to face and, like
Banquo’s ghost, will not down at
their bidding. Wayeross, like the
other cities which have had to face
this problem, will find some way
out of the dilemua and.it is hoped,
not by the way of closed schools
for any length of time. Sound the
old slogan "We must educate or
we will perish” and waive up the
dormant “Ways and means com
mittee” and a remedy will be forth
coming.
The fallowing statement from
the Thomasvilte Press is endorsed
by the Tribune as being true of
every county hi South Georgia:
“Twenty acres is as much as one
man and mule can profitably culti
vate, and if every open twenty
acres in Thomas county had an
earnest interested man and mule
engaged on it for five consecutive
years our banks could not use all
ihe money they would produce.”
PBARSON TRlfctM PEARSON, GEORGIA, DECEMBER 22. 1922
HOLIDAY SEASON..
The festivities of the holiday
season have commenced, and tfor
the next ten days fun and frolic
will reign supreme, and remember
—we are celebrating the birth of
G'hrist w our spiritual Savior: Alas!
how frail is human nature in its
conception of things Divine.
On the one hand Pearson and
vicinity is confronted “Tur
key Shootings/’ a species of gam
bling that has long obtained in
this section and considered barm
less diversion. It is devoutly hoped
the time will soon come when these
things will be supplanted with
thoughts of Him w'hose natal day
we celebrate, and how we honor
Him who is the Heavenly Father’s
unspeakable gift to man.
On the other hand we have our
people making gifts to friends and
Loved ones and especially to the
children who are early taught to
expect sueli things at this season
of tfio year.
How much better and more ap
propriate it would be for ail the
people to engage in real worship
and adoration of Him, “The Way
the Truth and the Life,” and to
obey His injunction: “Son. daugh
ter, give me thy heart.” This done
all will be ready and in a proper
frame of mind to wish our friends
a "Merry Christmas.”
However, all are passing through
the holiday season of 1922. The
iuelemCnt weather —damp and raw
—will prevent-much of the usual
festivities. Time is passing just
as rapid as if the sun was shinftig.
and the old year will soon be gone
to take its place in history.
Calcium Arsenate Muddle.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 16. —The
Georgia State* Board of Entomol
ogy, in a meeting held Wednesday,
December 13th, passed the follow
ing resolution:
“A complete canvas of the sitna
(ion has convinced the Board that
the present market quotations on
white arsenic, the raw
from which calcium arsenate is
made, have no justification in point
of fact. It is obvious that these
high prices are due solely to the
manipulations of the market in an
effort to obtain every cent possible
from the Southern farmers.
“The Board does not feel justified
in purchasing, and will not pur
chase calcium arsenate at prevail
ing prices. Moreover, while the
Board does not in any way assume
responsibility for advising anyone
who wishes to, not Jo purchase cal
cium arsenate, it does not recoin
mend that the general public buy
it at the present prices.
“The Board is still bending every
effort toward making a contract
which will provide calcium arsenate
at a resonable price, but in tfte
event it fails to secure a price
which, in its judgement, will be
fail)anti reasonable to the cotton
producers it wilt decline to make a
contract for the year 1923.

“Well!
Strong!”
Mrs. Anna Clover, of R. F. D.
5, Winfield, Kar~., says: “1
began to suffer some months
ago with womanly tjoubles, and
I was afraid i was going to get
In bed. Each month i suffered
with my head, back and sides—a
weak, aching, nervous feeling.
! began to try medicines as I
knew 1 was.getting worse. I
did not seem to find the right
remedy until someone told me of
GARDUI
The Woman’s Tonic
I used two bottles before I could
see any great change, but after
that it was .remarkable how
much better I got. I am now
well and strong. 1 can recom
mend Cardui, for it certainly
benefited me.”
If you have been experiment
ing on yourself with all kinds of
different remedies, better get
back to good, old, reliable
Cardui, the medicine for
women, about which you have
always heard, which has helped
many thousands of others, and
which should help you. too.
Ask your neighbor about it; she
has probably used it.

Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of
