Some newspapers make it point
not to tell the truth when the facts
would answer much better than a
falsehood. A local sheet recently
printed an item stating that D. j.
Forbes, Chas. Burr and Burr Smith
had leased the Worthington roller
mills. A bad case of nightmare might
have suggested the item, but editors
ought to learn the art of distinguish
ing between stern realities and freaks
ola diseased observation-disclosures
The ADVANCE is the paper that
printed the item concerning Mr..
Forbes. Mr.. Forbes was here, looked
over the mill and said he would take
it. We took him at his word. Later
we have learnd that he is not going
to lease the mill-probably afraid the
new court house will fall on him.
1t is strange that the ADVANCE ex-
ercises such good judgment on the
county-seat question when another
county besides Mobiles is involved.
The arguments used in favor of Lake
field would have been applicable to
Adrian. The business men Of Adrian
have offered to erect a suitable struct-
ure and donate the same for court
house purposes fora period OF 70 years
but s'the county commissioners have
seen fit to issue bonds and erect
new building" which ''means that
the taxpayers must go down in their
pockets for at least $5O,0OO." It
matters considerable whose OK is
gored, dosen't it Bro. Eastwood? It
IS all right for the people of Mobiles
county to bond themselves for $5O,OOO
when it could easily be avoided, but
it is very foolish for the people OF
jackson county to do likewise.-Dem-
Ocrat.
The situation in Mobiles Go. and
Jackson Co. is quite different. Lake
field is favorably located, while
Adrian is not. jackson is an out-of-
the-way place while Lakefield is a
growing, thrifty town. More than 200
majority was voted for Lakefeld-no
one for a moment thinks Mobiles Co.
would give a majority in favor of
Adrian, hence it is not the popular
nor proper location for the county
seat. The vote shows that Laketield
is favored by a large majority of the
tax payers Of the county, and ought
to be the county seat, and unquestion-
ably will be when another vote is
taken.
