FRIDAY, NOV. 19, 1909.
President Taft issued the usual
official proclamation M o n d a y ,
declaring Thursday, Nov. 25th.
Thanksgiving Day.
Recent fatal accidents on tin
grid iron has brought up the dis¬
cussion again as to whether foot
ball should be abolished.
Hunters should Ik*, very careful
about starting tires in the woods
now. Enormous losses have
resulted lately from forest fires.
The prison commission has re¬
fused to re-open the case of Dr.
Elliott and unless the governor in¬
terferes he will hang in LaG range
to-day.
The Meigs Review has suspended
publication. The Review has
been one of the brightest little
sheets coming to this office and we
are sorry to learn that the business
men of that city failed to give it
the support necessary to make it a
financial success.
Ex-Sheriff Shipp, of Chatta¬
nooga, Tenn,, has been sentenced
to serve ninety days imprisonment
for contempt of Court in failing to
prevent the lynching of a negro,
convicted of rape, who was in his
custody. The negro had lieen
sentenced to hang and the Superior
Court of the United States issued
a stay of execution.
South Georgia is indeed a
favored section of God’s country.
We have our troubles but they are
small ones of little importance and
rapidly pass away. We are brought
to a realization of this, when from
day to day, the papers bring ns the
news of terrible disasters in other
sections. An instance of this kind
was the mine accident at Cherry,
111., the other day, where the lives
of 800 working men were snuffed
out and 1200 widows and or
phans left in pitiable distress.
At the lynching of a negro and
a white man in Cairo, 111., last
week, women pulled the ropes, the
head of one of the victims was
hung up for exhibition, the ropes
cut up for souvenirs, and children
were lifted to the shoulders of
their parents that they might see
the awful spectacle. All these
things remind us that mobs and
lynehingsare not Southern institu¬
tions and that certain crimes can
be depeuded upon to drive the
people to acts of violence and
brutality, no matter where they
occur. The north is fully as in¬
genious as the jSouth in punish¬
ing these offenders against woman¬
hood.
Editor Griffin, of the Bainbridge
Post, and A. D. Oliver, who is con
fined in the Decatur County jail
as a result of his frenzied financial
operations in that section, have
engaged in newspaper controversy
and some warm remarks have been
passed. With one party to the
controversy in jail the conditions
are ideal for a red-hot argument,
with the chance of a causualty re
dneed to the minimum.
Deep Wells are a Necessity.
The numerous deep-bored wells
sunk in this county during the
past several years have not only
proved an excellent investment as
a preventive of sickness, but in
the recent dry weather they have
been almost a life-saver in certain
districts, . where nearly all the oid
fashioned shallow wells have failed
the people have been depend*
aut upon the former for water, both
man and beast.
Many old wells that have never
been known to fail before are now
, else , low , that , ,, the water
or so
is not fit for drinking purposes
i many farmers have been hauling
water for several months
There is an inexhaustable sup
p i y 0 f as pure water as can lie
found anywhere underlying this
section, if we go deep enough to
tap it. A good well of never fail¬
ing water is the best improvement
that can be put on a farm and no
one who can afford a deep well
should lie without one.
Corn Contest.
The prizes offered in the Albany
Herald’s corn contest were awarded
last Tuesday afternoon when the
certificates of the several contes¬
tants were placed in the hands of
the judges.
The first prize was won by Mr.
W. M. Sanders, of Thomas county,
who produced on one acre of land
109 bushels of corn. The second
prize was won by Mr. H. T.
Bridges, of Terrell county, whose
yield was 105 bushels. T. F.
Ford of Lee county, took the third
prize, having produced 102 bush¬
els on one acre.
In the troys class, .1. L. Jenkins,
of Worth county, won the first
prize with a yield of 79 bushels on
an acre. M. J. Kidd, of Baker,
and K. H. Summer, of Early, re¬
ceived second and third prizes
with yields of (>5 and tjo bushels
respectfully.
These y ields are remarkable and
s!unv conclusively what South
Georgia farms will do under proper
cultivation.
Although Mitchell county has
some of the finest land and best
farmers in this part of the state,
there was not a single contestant
from this county.
The Thomas County Fair, held
at Thomasville last week, was a
complete success.
All parties indebted to us will
please make prompt settlement.
Highest market price paid for
cotton on collections.

Have you noticed how anxious
the politicians have been all along
to ascertain whether Hoke Smith
will be a candidate for governor at
the next election? They seem to
have no fear of being ousted by
any other man, but realize that
they will be in inminent danger if
he is to be the candidate that is to
oppose them. He evidently broke
more of the eggs of that old At¬
lanta nest than any other man
that ever sat on the lid in Georgia,
and the old-time pap suckers just
can’t stand for another dose.—
