Fitzgerald is suffering loss OF trade from
different directions on account of the condition
~ the public roads. or the lack of roads. North
east of the city large section of country is al
most without roads, The COW trail to Crisp is
still relic of the times when few cattle own
|ers on horseback never dreamed OF modern
Graded road. Now that we must wait year at
least for new county wont the county commls-
eioners do us the simple justice OF opening
passable highway between Fitzgerald and
Crisp?
If there is a postal law which makes 1t
larceny to take paper from the postothce ana
then refuse to pay for it, that law should never
have been passed and should be repealed at
l.
should have such protection than there IS that
The procervman and others should. We do not
believe there is such law. An honorable man
viii always pay his debts, whether 1t be tor
Newspaper or for provisions and as we are I'M
alterably opposed to Imprisonment for debt, we
want no such law as would lncarcerate man
who failed to pay for his paper. Let the press
stop printing such stories. If you have sub
scriber and can not collect from him, chop him
off, Then sue him if you want to, but stop
holding the jail up before him, when there
should be no law to that OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

The DEAD BEAT reader is stencil and
nuisance and should not be dignifed as criml-

promptly what he owes to his county paper, but

Hoke Smith has been to Warrenton, and the
Warrenton Clipper says of him.
''That Hoke Smith is sure winner with the
farmers was never more clearly demonstrated
than Yesterday when he stood before vast
crowd of voters and told them face to face his
Driuciples upon which he bases his race for the
goyernorship.
It is not for us to say what the impression
which he made is. 1t is not for us to Judge the
candidates or to advance our theories and prin-
ciples with the idea of drawing voters from their
honest convictions, but it is our duty only to
present the facts as nearly as we can and let the
voter weigh the evidence from his own convlc-
tions and render his own verdict.
