The Opposition to noti
fication of New Counties
At the November election the
new counties created at th? la*t
session of the legislature, will
have to be ratified by a majority
of the votes, before they become
duly organised counties. Since
the passage of the act creating
these new counties, an effort is
being made to defeat the ratifi
cation of Candler county, taken
from Bulloch and Emanuel coun
ties, with the thriving little town
of Wetter the county site.
The bill creating this county
passed the house by a vote of 149
to 14 and passed the senate by a
vote of 36 to 8, which goes to
show that the opposition has
arisen since, by those who would
like io see it defeated in the com
ing November election. This
would be a lick below the belt, as
all the new counties recently ere
ated, were ratified without se
rious opposition. The people liv
ing in the territory composing
this new county are satisfied and
desire the ratification of same.
The tireless efforts put forth bv
the people embraced in this new
county, spending time and money
at two sessions of the legislature
and waging a streneous cam
paign from the beginning of the
fight to the end, certainly entitles
them to the county, and we feel
sure that the voters of Wheeler
county will de for Candlar county
what she received at the hands
of the voters only a short while
since, and that the new counties
created w>ll be ratified at the
polls on next November.
Editor Sills, of the Advertiser,
published at Metter, deserves a
lot of credit for the passage of
the bill creating this new county,
and it will only take the returns
of the next general election to
place Candler county on the map

Arranging In Install
Lighting Plant.
Mr T. F. Williams began work
on his repair shop and garage
this week. It will be located
near the branch, between the
new school building ard town,
and in an ideal location for the
business that Mr. Williams pro
ses to conduct. Beside the above!
mentioned shops, he intends
installing an electric light plant,
in connection, that will furnish
the town, business houses and
residences with lights. It is his
intention to buy a gasoline en
gine that will pull bis machinery
during the day and pull thedina
mo during the night. He has
asked the town for a franchise,
and the matter has not yet been
definitely settled, but has been
satisfactorily arranged and Mr.
Williams is preparing to order
the machinery.
Mrs. Hurwitz Improving
The many friends of Mrs. H.
S. Hurwitz will learn with regret
than she relapsed from the ope
ration she underwent in Savan
nah several weeks ago, and on
last Sunday it became necessary
to have Dr. White come up from
Savannah and perform another
operation. A special train was
chartered by Mr. Hurwitz and
Dr. White with another physician
and two nurses arrived here
about two o’clock Sunday after
noon and performed another ope
ration, which it was claimed, was
the only hope of saving her life.
Drs. Burch and Hall Were the
attending physicians, and it was
at their request the operation
was made. Mrs. Hurwitz con
dition is very much improved,
however, and it is thought that
she will be out again soon.

FOLEY KIDNEY PILLS
FOR BACKACHE KIDNEYS AND BLADDER
Dublin Murder Mystery
Solved by Officers.
The detectives and officers of
Dublin have arrived at the con
clusion that they now have the
Beacham murder solved. Ed
Montford, one of the seven sus
pects first arrested, is now con
| fined in the Bibb county jail
charged with the murder, he be
ing taken to the Macon jail to
prevent a probable lynching.
The §ix other white men confined
in the Dublin jail were released
af&rthe evidence was secured
against Montford that satisfied
the authorities that the crime
had been placed upon Montford.
The clew that the officers were
satisfied would bring about the
conviction of Montford, was a
note said to have been written by
him to a nogro that he had em
ployed in his pressing club, tell
ing where the ring, supposed to
have been the ring worn by young
Beachan on the night of the kill
ing, was. The fact that the
negro could not read he entrusted
the note another party, whogave
out the contents of the note that
reached the detectives ear, which
resulted in the finding of the
ring, as described in the note.
The finding of the ring, linked
with the other evidence secured,
the officers were satisfied that
jthis evidence justified them in
placing the crime upon Montford
| and consequently the other sus
pects were released. It is said
I that feeling ran high against the
I accused, and to prevent a lynch
: ing, Sheriff Scarboro spirited his
prisoner to the Macon jail for
• safe keeping.
I The case will probably be tried
lat the next term of Laurens
superior court, which convenes
•n the 4th Monday in this month '

“EVERYTHING IN BUILDING MATERIAL”.
JUDGE KENT SAYS HAS
NOT BETRAYED TRUST.
To the People of Wheeler co:
I feel that in justice to myself
that I should show you that my
political enemies have tried to
make a tempest in a tea-pot, a
storm or a German sea in order
to put “one” over me.
The facts are that every thing
that should be done by me has
been done. Everv bond required
of me as Ordinary to be filed in
Governor’s office is there and my
record is as clear as the noon
day’s sun. Don’t be misled by
political dopesters or political
worms. The truth is that my
office is in first-class shape and
every thing thatshould belegally
done by me as Ordinary has been
done. My records are an open
book, and any fair-minded man
will say that I have done what
was right and legal, under the
circn instances.
The interests of the people of
Wheeler county have always been
carefully looked after And no one
has ever been more alert than
myself, to stand up for the inter
ests of the people of Wheeler
county. lam under a good bona
and have not violated one con
dition in the same. I have always
done my duty, as I saw it. Os
course I can not please my ene
mies, and do not try to do so. I
am trying to do right and believe
lam succeeding, notwithstand
ing the onslaughts of envious
people. Where duty calls I have
been there with the lick, and no
one has suffered one bit on ac
count of any act of mine as Ordi
nary, and as long as I am on th*
. “job” the people of Wheeler
county will have in me a man
! that is ready and willing to aid
j them in what is right, and a man
: who has the backbone and the
nerve to do what is right under
all circumstances, and meet out
justice to the poor as well as the
rich.
I am not controlled by any
“ring” or “political hungry
worms”, but only by a conscience
void of intended wrongdoing and
a heart, hand and mind reacy
and willing to help a friend in
need. I am, Your servant,
Wm. B. KENT.
