Highland Injustice

Another instance of highland
ed alleged injustice was noted in
the news Of Monday The sher-
if of Douglas county is charged
with stopping a car, without the
possession Of a warrant; order
ing its occupants to the ground
at the point of a pistol; slap
ping the face of the woman oc-
cupant of the car, and man
handling others. The sheriff
was looking for bootleggers.
No liquor was found in the car.
Near Sylvania, Ga, a day or
two earlier, a county policeman
is charged with fatally shooting
two men in the name of law
enforcement.
These two instances are only
a few in a long list Between
the so-called law enforcers and
road agents, the motorist has
about as much chance as a
mouse on a cat farm.
When signaled TO halt, he
knows not what to do. 1t may
be a highwayman or it may be
police officer. IF he stops for
one he'll be robbed, mainland
led and maybe killed. He does
not stop, and it happens to be
an officer Of the law, his back
will be filled with lead.
The first thing a police officer
should learn is law observance.
If HE can't obey the laws, how
under the great blue canopy may
we expect others to do so?
There are entirely too many
ignorant and vicious fools pa
rading behind a silver star, with
a billie in one hand and a gun on
each hip.

1t Isn't the Town or the
Job-It's the Man

Forty years ago a young fell
low named Anderson, without a
penny to his name, drifted into
a hopeless looking village in
Central Ontario.
He was among strangers. Ills
pocketbook was empty. And he
didn't have much in the way of
education. The village he start
ed to work in was one of those
backwoods communities which
seem totally lacking in oPPor-
tunity.
Anderson's first job in this
place was feeding cattle at the
railroad stockyard-cattle driv-
en- in by farmers and awaiting
shipment.
Today the village still is a
village-about 500 people. An
dersons hair is whitening. He
shows the marks of hard work.
But he is rich enough to spend
his winters in Florida. He owns
a general store he started. He
owns timber land, also houses
that bring him a steady income
of $3.50 rent a month.
He's worth about a quarter
of a million.
That's not a tremendous for
tune, compared with some 9TH
ers.
But Andy has all the money
he needs. He's happy. His
life has been useful, helping his
community. He has raised to
manhood three fine boys, and
they are taking his place as he
rests on his oars. All around,
he's a real success.
Now, when Andy arrived in
this village, he met a lot Of 9th
er fellows. Some got out. Some
stayed. They had the notion
that there wasn't any oppor-
tunity locally. And they were
right, as far as they themselves
were concerned. Most of them
are where they started. They
haven't gotten anywhere. Andy
is the only man in town who
has made money.
And he made it in a COM
munity, buried in the woods and
rocks, where summers are short
and winters so below zero -
in short, community that
would look hopeless to nearly

Primus Jones and
Deal Jackson

Among those famous in
Georgia s cotton history, two
names stand out as first bale
men-Primus Jones of Baker
county, and Deal Jackson, Of
Dougherty. The first a white
farmer, the other a negro. Of
these men, the Albany Herald
relates some interesting history,
saying
Primus Jones lived in Baker
county, and had one of the finest
plantations in Southwest Geor-
gia. He was one Of three broth
ers, all white farmers and among
the leading men of Baker coun-
ty. Year after year, until his
untimely death, he picked, gin
ned and rushed to Albany by
fast mule express Georgia's first
bale of cotton, and more than
once he beat even Texas. He
knew when to plant and how to
cultivate for fast growth. He
saved the seed from his earliest
opening bolls, and developed a
strain Of cotton that made him
famous. His brother, Reuben
Jones, developed the famous
Jones watermelon.
After the death of Primus
Jones, his mantle fell on Deal
Jackson-or, rather, Jackson
picked up the mantle and put
it on. He had studied the white
first-bale mans methods, and be-
lieved he could retain frst-bale
honors for Albany. His farm in
the western part of Dougherty
county was one which he had
lived on for years and greatly
improved, and on it he proved
that he had not placed too great
faith in his own ability. He took
up where Frimus Jones left off"
and year after year, as long as he
lived, he brought Georgia's first
bale of new-crop cotton to AL
bany.
Jackson was an ex-slave who
had had few early advantages,
but he was endowed with abund
ant common sense, he loved his
farm, repeatedly refusing flat
tering offers Of those who want
ed to buy it.
Yes, if either Primus Jones
or Deal Jackson were living, the
boil weevil would have to be out
mighty early in the spring to get
the jump"
Jones real name was Piamus,
says the Herald, but as 'Primus
means first, and as Piamus Jones
was for many years Georgia s
hrst-bale farmer, the 'Primus
stuck to him even when he went
to the Georgia Senate. "
These two names were fam
GUS in every cotton growing
county in Georgia, and linger
still in the minds Of scores oil
old-timers.

Cheapened Himself and
His Friends

Commenting on the activities
of w. D. Upshaw, congressman
from the Fifth district, in his
lonely efforts to name himself
Nice-Presidential nominee in
New York, the editor of the
Cordele Dispatch, says:
Upshaw hardly deserved more
than he got. He had no hope
of being named on the ticket for
the Vlce-Presidency. He simply
went about nosing himself into
the wrong place all the time. Ee
was VIGOROUSLY strong for Nc
Adoo all in his own way, and at
the same time VIGOROUSLY can
didate for the Vice Presidency
with such activity as did nobody
any good.
First place, he should have
been a sincere applicant for the
Vice-Presidential nomination, or
he should have kept his mouth
shut. Playing with the thing
served only to cheaper himself
and his friends in so doing he
did not even enlist the sympathy
Of his Georgia friends. In the
event that he should have sought
the nomination in serious effort,
then he should have done so on
his own Independent initiative.
Embracing Mr.. McAdoo every 80
seconds during the progress of
the fight which Mr.. McAdoo was
waging did not really assist the
latter gentleman.
AS we suppose VIII Upshaw
has never permitted anything of
this kind to cross his mind.
But Mr.. Upshaw got his name
and picture in the papers a few
times, and these things are very
necessary to one who is seeking
engagements on the lecture plat
form. No doubt embracing
Mr. McAdoo every 80 seconds, .
as the Dispatch remarks. was
embarrassing to the Gentleman
from Georgia-California, even
though the embracer did
stump the state for him.
