Which faction do you belong to9--Ben Hill
County News.
There are no factions i'll Fitzgerald. There
are some sorry white men, but hardly enough OF
them to be called faction. They are somewhat
clannish as the result of the influence OF the hst
law of nature but the clan of no boes and rag tags
and bob tails do not rise to the dignity Of faction.

1t seems to be only too true that large mum
Der of sorry white men have no higher conception OF
auty than to keep out of the pententiary. They
presume that it is all right so long they are not
eonvcted of crimes, They are willing to do any
hing, but dreadng the prison bars they study the
law for the purpose of keeping out of limbo; but
occasionally one breaks in by miscalculation.

same On a certain occasion young Witham, then
about eight years DID, became possessed OF five dol
lars. He placed loan with his father, but neglect
ed to take the customary note. For some reason,
no record whatever was made of the transaction.
Some months later when the son, in the role of i'm
Fortunate creditor, approached his father demand
ing his moneys with interest," the entire transaction
was denied Mr. Wtham conldn't recall it at all.
The youngster insisted that the money had been
loaned and that it should be repaid. Mr. Whitman
demanded some documentary evidence and insist
that he must be 'shown" i'll black and white. At
lunch that day the boy appealed to his grand
mother from whom he had received the five dollars
and she promptly recalled the transaction and
youched for the loan having been made Turning
to the colored cook, he asked her about it. She
remembered the entire deal in minute detail.
Whereupon the budding financier turned triumph

have it in black and white; pay up!'' Mr.. Witham
