SENATOR IRWIN TAKES ANOTHER SHOT

amount you have been forced to pay
out on the fine.
They tell you it's a good thing be-
cause it furnishes convicts for the
roads, while now the convicts are
furnished to the counties free by the
state, only costing transportation.
They tell you it's good thing for
the reason that man, however limo
cent of a crime, may be prosecuted
and forced to expend money for law
yers' fees and be forced to a trial
without having the right to appeal
to the grand jury for Indictment.
The only use l see for the City
Court of Dawson is to furnish good,
easy jobs to it's officers. 1t is an in
cubator for Matching criminal prose-
cutions.
1t rObs many a poor wife and child
of the comforts of a new dress or
pair of shoes or a little Christmas
candy in order that the husband may
be able to pay the tax in the Fall
to support the city court.
1t forces many a man in Terrell
county to labor in season and out, to
brave the winters winds and sum-
mers' hot suns, to stint and sweat
while he contributes to the comfort,
ease and pleasure of a few, who are
enabled to enjoy Floridas tropical
cline in winter or escape to the cool
and refreshing mountains of north
Georgia in the summer.
Now, fellow-citizens, | invite your
cooperation, and l will abolish the
'ourt. If the people desire to re-
ain the court let's cease our agita-
ion. Let the county commissioners
ay what they want Let the grand
jurors say what they wish. Let the
people speak Let the will of the
majority prevail. I will be perfectly
atisfed. Yours truly,
JNO. r. IRWIN.

1T IS ALL MOONSHINE THIS
A Very Interesting Story of Reve-
nue. Raid That Did Not Hap
pen Around Here.

The Atlanta Journal a few days
ago printed a sensational story of
"a raid by the 'revenoors" near Daw-
son that is "moonshine" in fact.
Nothing of the kind has occurred
here, and it is very likely the Jour
nal has gotten a bit mixed as to the
locality of the occurrence 1t per-
haps meant Dawson county, which is
in the very heart of the moonshine
section of north Georgia Besides,
the revenue headquarters for this
section are in Columbus, and not in
Atlanta. The Journals story is as
follows:
Information recently came to the
revenue force here that an Illicit
distillery was being operated near
Dawson, and an officer was instruct
ed to investigate. A man who lived
on winding road out from the town
was suspected, and early in the morn
ing the officer, with two assistants,
cautiously approached his home.
Just as they opened the front gate
the back door slammed, and they
saw the wife scurrying across the
backyard with her baby in her arms.
One Of the men went in pursuit.
THE woman, though encountered
by the baby, ran lightly and swiftly,
and not only kept ahead of the Off
Ger, but increased her lead. She ran
toward a stretch of woods, entered
it, and continued her fight down a
narrow path. The officer could
catch occasional glimpses of her
dress, but he was slowly falling be-
hind. Suddenly the woman disap-
peared completely. The officer pant
ed up to where the dismantled still
was hidden with mans felt hat ly-
ing by the side Of it. But the woman
was gone and there was no sign Of
human being about.
"She had warned her husband in
time for him to escape and take off
part of his still with him."

TELEPHONE AND THE FARMER

In speaking of the recent change in
its telephone exchange, made by the
Western Electric company at Peta-
luna, California, the Petaluma Courier
gives an exposition of the value of the
telephone, which the farmers in this
vicinity should profit by. To quote the
Courier:
FThe addition of the farmers lines
will not only be great advantage TO
the farmer, but will also tend to great
ly increase the business of the city.
"Only recently has the farmer seen
the great benefits to be derived from
the use of the telephone. 1t used to
happen that frequently a farmer would
come to town with a load of grain or
produce and stand around all day wait
ing for the highest bidder on the load
If it happened that he came at time
when the market was favorable, he
might get bids unless the buyers had
cliqued against him; but more OFTEN
he would be obliged to hang around
all day and then either sell at the same
price offered in the morning or haul
the load back home.
cit s different now. The rural tele-
phone has changed all this. Today the
farmer has no excuse for driving to
town without first knowing the exacr
condition of the market, for he can
call up the buyer in advance and if the
market is right he can contract for his
produce before leaving home.
"This enables him TO get the high
est possible price for his produce and
consequently he has more money tt
spend in town.
"This is only one of the many usel
of the telephone by which the farmer
is greatly benefited. Today there il
hardly any one in a well settled coun
try who has not awaited himself of i
by telephoning for doctor when SOM
one was Ia or for a broken part of

until it was mended.
"The telephone is a great protec

HORTICULTURAL EXPERT
OF Pennsylvania in Northwest Looking
for Location.

George w. Sloop, state horticultural
expert of Pennsylvania, is in the nortn-
west as representative of a syndicate
of Pennsylvania and Ohio capitalists,
spying out land for the establishment
of large orchard. He has visited the
largest orchards in the Yakima, We
natchee, Spokane, Toucet and Columbia
river valleys and will go into the Hood
River and other districts in Oregon and
central Idaho, also taking in the Boun-
dairy district, in southeastern British
Columbia. He said in an interview:
conditions and opportunities for
orchardists in the northwest are favor
able, but l have not as yet made up
my mind as to where the best location
for a large orchard may be had When
/ have finished my trip through the
northwest I shall return to the east
confer with my hackers and then re-
turn to this country. AT that time
shall decide upon a location and estab
lish an orchard.'
Mr.. Sloop talked with many orchard
lists and ranchers in eastern and cen
trail Washington, and, while he admit
ted he was not familiar with the sol
and climatic conditions, he was abb,
to give them valuable information OF
a general nature, including hints OF
the correct method of pruning fruit
trees He also noted that in the cen
trail Washington valleys there is ten
dency to plant too many varieties. TIT
list, he said, should be confined to TIVE
OF three of the best varieties, to b,
decided upon by conditions and thu
markets, and then brought up to tn
highest state of perfection, adding tina
in this way the best results will b.
obtained from commercial orchards.
