Judge S. A. Roddenberry, of ThOmasville has
formerly announced that he is after Jim Griggs
scalp. If he is as persistent for Congressional
honors as he is in fighting whiskey Jim had just as
well give up right now, for Roddenberry is one of
these little lean lanky, persistent fellows that is
very easily licked but the trouble is convincing
him of the fact. There is no two ways about it he
will never give in-aS for us we say three cheers
flor Roddenberry. Midtown News.

A clanish, narrow and vindictive admnistra-
ton has been one of the obstacles that have hind
cred the progress of this city.
The clash between city and county authorities
is a case in point
The effort to punish the sheriff by refusing the
use of the city jail is childs play 1t is to his per
sonal advantage, and an expense to the men who
deny him the of the jail for county prisoners.
He gets pay (good pay for taking every prisoner
to Abbeville or Irwinvillc, and the chumps who
seek to spite him pay their pro rata of the extra
and unnecessary expense.
Ben Hill county is no foreign nation of hostile
people--we are the same family. The council is
in the attitude of the man who destroys the funi-
ture and crockery 'because breakfast is late or
otherwise unsatisfactory, orgetful of the fact that
he is loser by the fool performance.
We do not care to criticise the city council.
To call thema sorry lot would not be news and would
offend some personal friends, good citizens and
really conscientious officers who have done the very
best they could under the circumstances but isn't
it the baby act to put the county to unnecessary
expense to spite one of its officers.
We do not know one thing about the trouble
between the sheriff and the poce it does not mat
ter so far this article is concerned, and we do
not to prostitute this paper to the discussion
: of petty quarrels between petty officers.
Let's grant that both, or either, are right or
in doing anything that will cost the county dollar
of unnecessary expense
TO Fitzgerald
The passage of the Irwin county court house
removal bill by the senate Thursday, indicates
that the legislators are unwilling to be hampered
and deferred in matter which they have
right to act They evidently do not approve of
the diatOry tatcs adopted by the obStructionst
who oppose the removal.
Under the law the Legislature is required to
act at its first session after the election and if the
opposition to the removal can delay the matter
late In the session that the legislature cannot act
lore next summer, then the contention will be
pc the action ought to have been taken at
ion.
