WATKINS COMPELLED FARMERS
TO BUY HIGH PRICED SEED
GRAIN


It is well known fact that Jud
along with his cohorts is the man
that would not permit farmers to
buy their seed grain from other farm
ers by taking it to the Supreme court,
because he wanted and did hand
something to his set. Other counties
all over the state had allowed direct
bargaining among farmers up to this
time. This extravagant Matkin and
his fellow conspirators stopped it all.
Hence the high priced seed grain for
farmers. It was not always the best
grain, but the highest priced grain
that was purchased by the Commits
sioners. And nuch of this money
went to concerns with headquarters
outside of Sheridan county so that
none within the county profted ex-
cept the manipulators. The taxpay-
efs and farmers are the losers.

Among the other noteworthy mis-
demeanors, gratis and boneheads are

accounts, unnecessary board meetings,

SUNSHINE AND
SHADOWS
By w. C. C.

The Old Doctor was in a reminis-
cent mood. Long years of general
practice have provided him with a
rich fun of experiences; some
pleasant, many pitiful, others strange
and out of the ordinary. For many
of the last mentioned he can find
no logical reason as to why events
so shape themselves, yet, a rock-rib-
bed Scotch Presbyterian faith tells
him there is sine who doeth all
things WELL"
81 had friend, some years ago."
began the Old Doctor, "who was
brother physician. We were to-
gether in college, graduated in the
same class and began our practice
in different sections Of the same city.
The first years are tale of the
usual struggles of a young doctor
to establish himself, but my friend
was hard worker, physician by
instinct, and the time finally came
when he commanded a big practice.
Not until then did he consider mar
riage. She was fine, sweet girl
and the future seemed bright for the
happy pair. To this union came a
girl child, and, as the years passed,
the only child-the idol of her
father, beloved companion for the
mother. And, she was beautiful and
good-loved and loving.
ct was at this time the shadow
fell athwart the threshold of my
friend Naturally watchful of his
child, there began to appear to his
trained physicians eye unmistakable
symptoms Of dread disease, more
feared in those days than now, but
bad enough at any time. There was
a hurried but careful examination
and the diagnosis, made by the ply
sician-father himself-tuberculosis.
"Picture to yourself, if you can,

this man. And the battle that he
faced within his own home

urgent summons from the restricted
district which was a part of every
big city in those days. Burdened
with grief for his own suffering
child, he answered this call and found
an erring girl, still in her teens
and beautiful, sick unto death-the
examination-the diagnosis-tuber-
culosis. n
"Another picture for your imagi-
nation-two darkened sick-rooms-
two tortured sufferers-a heroic doc
tor fighting against heavy odds, as
'valiantly for one as for the other
giving all that he possessed of skill
and strength to each.
"Yet, in the end, this sorrowing
father followed the wasted corpse Of
his own flesh and blood to the grave
yard on the hill while the girl of
the district lives today.

WHY ANOTHER COUNTY?

The voters of the state will be asked to decide
whether not the State of Georgia is to have anoth
er county at the election November It'll
Georgia now has 100 counties. More than any
other state in the nation, except Texas, which has
only few more and is five times as large in area
Georgia has too many counties already why
create another one?
If the people of the state vote to create Peach
county it will take a majority of the population
from Houston county, leave Houston with large
majority of negro population take majority of the
white voters from Houston depreciate the property
value of the county remaining millions being lost to
the owners
If Peach county is created the results will be
new lot of political office holders to pay from tax
money, an entire additional number of county off
cials to pay out Of the, tax money of only 10000
people Houston county is not as big as Cobb, why
should they want to make two counties of it?
It's time to eliminate some unnecessary offices and
expenses in the state and not to create more coun
ties more offices and more tax burdens for the peo-
pie of any section where no benefit is derived to ac
count for it,
We don't believe the people want another county
and will vote against creating Peach county in the
election Tuesday.
