Announcements
. To the Voters of the Dublin Judicial
Circuit:
I am a candidate for the office of
solicitor general of the Dublin judi
cial circuit, subject to the result of
the primary election to be held in
1912. In event of my election I shall
strive to discharge the duties of the)
office rigidly, impartially and faithful-1
ly.
I believe that a solicitor should pros
ecute the rich and the poor, the high
and low alike. No man’s money, nor.
his social or political standing should
be used to defeat the ends of justice;
-Jiat all who violate the law should be
made to endure its penalty.
I am in favor of abolishing the fee
system, placing solicitor generals on
a salary, running the courts with dis
patch and economy, strict and due cn
. forcement of the law, rigid obser
vance of the election law, stamping
out and forever obliterating the use of
liquor and money in elections; a heal
thy sentiment that is the exponent of
the majesty and supremacy of law,
and good government.
I respectfully solicit the suffrage
of all the voters of the circuit.
Yours truly.,
E. L. STEPHENS.

Reasons Why
YOU SHOULD HAVE AN ACCOUNT WITH
The Irwinton Bank
Because
IT HELPS MY CREDIT TO PAY MY BILLS WITH CHECKS ON THE BANK AND CREATES A FAVORA
BLE IMPRESSION AMONG BUSINESS MEN, AS THEY NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH LARGER I COULD
MAKE THE CHECK.
Because
IT SETS MY FAMILY A GOOD EXAMPLE AND SHOWS THEM THAT I HAVE THEIR WELFARE AT
HEART, BY TAKING CARE OF MY MEANS.
Because
I DO NOT ENDANGER THE LIVES OF MY FAMILY OR MY OWN BY HAVING THE REPUTATION OF A
MAN WHO KEEPS HIS MONEY IN HIS POCKET OR HIDES IT ABOUT HIS HOME. I BELIEVE FUNDS
ARE SAFER IN THE BANK THAN IN MY POCKET OR AT HOME.
Because
IT WILL HOLD ME UP WHEN I AM SICK OR OUT OF WORK.
Because
A bank account creates a desire and pride to make it as large as possible, and it is wise for all of us to pro
vide for the "RAINY DAY” which comes sooner or later.
Because
If I pay my debts by drawing check on the bank, the check must be endorsed before the bank will pay it, and
then it becomes a legal receipt for my money paid. No one can claim I did not pay them, as I can show their
endorsement on the check which paid the debt.
Because
If I keep a good account with the bank and meet with some disaster and do not have sufficient money for
my purpose, the bank feels under obligations to loan me money, if 1 can secure them. The bank will nearly al
ways lend its depositors money when refusing to make loans to other people.
Because
It gives me a standing at home which can come in no other way. I am not regarded as one of “the ne’er
do wells" of the community, not able to have a bank account, or as one of the suspiciously ignorant, who are
opposed to all advanced civilization.
Because
If I have an account, the officers and directors of the bank appreciate the confidence I place in them, and
they are always willing to give me advice on business matters, in which they are often experts. They are
sometipies well versed in commercial law; and their advice is free to their customers. It pays me to be
ou gobd terms with a polite, clever, capable banker.
Because
I do not give the wrong change and always have tie right change. lam not tempted to buy things be
cause I have the money in my pocket, it systematizes my affairs and enables me to run my business in
stead of it running me. 1 see our best and most successful business men with bank accounts. I believe my
home bank is solvent, conservative and courteous and to be composed of honorable and worthy men.

Irurmr Spoke
To a Large CM
Here Last Friday.
Mr. Mary Harris Armour, the
little Georgia -woman who has
been called all over the United
States, the World’s Greatest
Woman Orator, and the Georgia
Cyclone, and has been said to
set Scotland on fire, spoke in the
interest of prohibition at the
court house here, Friday, Nov.
3. Mrs. Armour held her large
audience breathless for two
hours, driving convincing
truths for prohibition home ev
ery time she opened her lips.
Os the gubernatorial cam
paign Mrs. Armour said in sub
stance: “The W. C. T. U. is
pnot and has never been in poli
। tics, and this is not a political
speech. I am not; aspiring to
any office in the gift of the peo
ple. Os course I could be elected
to one if I wanted it, but I do
not want it. 1 had rather have
the job I have than to be presi
dent of the United States or be
king of any country. Being a
woman, I have no legal right
to vote in this campaign, but
being a woman I have a right to
defend my home. We are con
fronted by a war more terrible
than the war of the sixties, the
war of the liquor traffic against
the home. In the war of the six
ties as the noble women of those
days rallied to the support of
Stonewall Jackson and Robert E.
Lee, just so today are we rally
ing to the man who is running
for governor who holds highest
the flag of prohibition. There
are three men in this race for
governor, one standing flat-foot
ed for prohibition, one standing
straight for liquor and the oth
er standing for nothing. The
man who stands for prohibition
is an honorable, upright, Chris-
tian gentleman, a friend to the
farmers, women and children ,of
Georgia; the man who stands
for liquor is a friend to anybody
or anything that he thinks will
hejp him into the governor’s of
fice; the man who stands for
nothing reminds me of the old
joke about the mischief of
the boys who tries to fool the
professor of bugology by taking
the feet of one bug, tail of an
other and head of another, and
pinning them together to form a
new kind of bug. When they
showed it to the old professor
and asked what sort of bug is
this he said at once, “Humbug.”
I think that well names the
third man in the race.
“Gentlemen, it is not for me to
name the man for you to vote
for; it is for me to make you
want prohibition so bad that you
will know who to vote for with
out me opening my lips.
Mrs. Armour then gave an un
answerable argument for prohi
bition. She showed how won
derfully prohibition had helped
Georgia and how wonderfully it
would transform the state if
given a chance. She showed the
utter foolishness of repealing
the law, because it does not ab
solutely prohibit. She told of
the fine editorials the Atlanta
Constitution had had recently on
the utter disregard of the pistol
toter’s law and not once, she
says, have they said repeal it;
always they have said inforce it.
That’s sensible; that’s what we
want done with the prohibition
law.
In conclusion Mrs. Armour
said in substance:
“Good prohibitionists give,
your undivided, united support
in this governor’s race to the on
ly man who is standing for pro
hibition and the defense of our
homes. Don’t let any newspaper
in the state make you believe that
this man who stands for noth-*
ing is a prohibitionist. Why
should a prohibitionist want to
go to the trouble and expense of
-having another election to get
just what we have already, when
we got it by the consent of the
majority of the people of the
state?”
_ SHStfO'ITEMS.
Uncle T. R. Dixon, one of tlie old
0. S. A. veterans, has been very sick,
but wo are glad to report him better.
The Salem Literary school started
with very bright prospects, with Mise
May Tappin as teacher.
Some of our people are discussing wet
and dry polities. I dread the open sale
of whiskey. Conditions are not what
they were when we had the open sale
in ' the days of yore.
It’s time to pen your Thanksgiving
turkey, grind cane and give candy pull
ings to the young people.
ts I was a young lady and a boy call
ed on. me who had never sprouted a
mustache, I would ask him if he didn’t
need some one to show him the way
home to his mother.
Blind Tigers and their patrons are
shy and won’t do us the harm the open
whiskey shop will.
We have made bountiful crops and
bought many costly luxuries, and yet
our preachers go unpaid. Will the
preachers have to wear a leather girdle
and live on locusts, wild honey and
pass through a whale’s beddy to con
vince the people of their sins.
If the world powers don’t stop the
Italians, they won’t leave the Turks
standing room-to gobble on.
If we could control our passions and
never fret,
How much more pleasure for us would it
beget;
But to let. them fly at lightning speed,
We commit a horrible deed.
I sometimes think I have the blues,
which is said to be the first symptoms
of suicide, and it makes me despondent
and-'wish I had come at another age of
the world, when suicide -was not popular
and had been the son of a king; but I
would have had to be trained as a
young prince and make a trip on the
sea around the world to get a title to
the throne. So I will acquience in God’s
decree and grant He sent me at an age
best for me, and I won’t linger on en
chanting ground or rejoice in Vanity
Fair; but I will lay hold of the imme
diate things about me and do my best
to help build up the good and pull
down the bad, and, expect to see the
glory of God in all I do, if it’s in the
sanctum or on the scrub of the wilder
ness.
So mote it be. UNCLE JAKE.
BILL MINOR RECAPTURED.
Aged Yeggman Run to Earth at
Waynesboro, Ga.
William (Old Bill) Minor, bandit,
cracksman and world’s champion jail
breaker, was recaptured at Waynes
boro, Ga., and his pal, Tom Moore,
was instantly killed when he resisted
arrest.
While reposing in a box car, the
slumbers of Bill Minor and Moore
were rudely disturbed by the negro
porter on the Georgia and Florida
railroad calling, “IS it cold in there?”
This gave a clew to the searchers
who were on the lookout for the two
criminals, and J. W. Whittle sum
pioned help and surrounded the car.
A demand was made for them to
come out. “Old Bill" came out slowly
and upon being told to throw us his
hands, he put up one hand and held
the other one on his gun, a 32 maga
zine pistol, which he reluctantly left
in his pocket, and put up the other
hand. Moore showed fight and was
shot and killed. Two shots were fired,
one by Moore and one at him.
FIFTY HURLED TO DOOM.
Two Hundred Men Working On Bridge
When Span Falls. \
As a result of the collapse, says a
Sacramento Cal., dispatch, of a pier
in process of construction across the
American river, 4 miles from the town
of. Auburn, seventeen workmen are re
ported to have lost tlaeir lives, and
many others to have been injured.
Fifty men are supposed to have
been carried down by the toppling
pier.
The bridge, which is the scene of
the catastrophe, was one of the larg
est in the state.
It was intended to span the Ameri
can river at a height of 60 feet. When
the center span, unsupported by the
concrete pillars, which are at either
end of the bridge, gave way, the work
men were precipitated a sheer 60 feet
into the waters of the American river.
There were 200 men at work on the
bridge when the accident occurred.
TRAGEDY AT COLUMBUS.
Shocked by Husband’s Suicide Wife
Dies Later.
The shock of tire news of the sui
cide of John R. Rowe, a well-known

cut his throat from the right ear to
the jugular vein, inflicting a gash from
which death resulted an hour Ister.
The cause of his suicide is not
known.

Ind. The child was the “patient” of
Ais two sisters, 4 and 6 years old, who

I of various drugs they found in the
family medicine chest. Physicians
