CONGRESSMAN CHAS. G. EDWARDS
My opponent’s last article in
which he engages in “mud-sling-
JUig’Aw'criticisms’ ’, ‘personalities’
misrepresentations”, and ‘abuse,’
is in keeping with the character of
speeches he has been making for ]
months and is an illustration of I
the methods he has employed to |
further his am 1 ition. I shall not
reply in the same spirit. His *
“poem” upon which he is trying
to ride into office is a tangle of
falsehoods. The statement that 1
promised “on bended knee ’ not
to run again is absolutely false.
I am using below, in answer to
bis poem, one written by Mr.
J C. Solomon, which reflects quite
a different sentiment.
My heart’s wildest crj in the stormy
night,
When injustice is heaped upon me,
Js healped me, Good Master, to do the
right,
And lean lovingly upon Thee.
J)o not let the words hot and bitter fall,
But hold tight the onrushing tice,
For Thou alone can keep me all and all,
Oh! walk Thou, Master, by my side.
Good Lord, if another should treat me
ill,
And should provoke my sou) to
wrath,
Miller Predicts Victory for
Edwards,
Mr. J. R Miller of Sta’esb ro,
Editor of the News, was in Clax
ton on Tuesday of this week in the
interest of the District fair which ]
is to be held in Savannah this fall.
In speaking of the Congressional
race, he declared that Edwards
would not omy carry Bulloch by
a good majority, but that the
“Plow Boy From Tattnall” would
be an easy winner in the tight.—

PEMBROKE, BRYAN COUNTY, GA., FRIDAY, WE 12, 1914.
Then lay Thy peaceful hand upon me
till,
L find again the quiet path
i And do not let me, Lour 1 , hu.Ub* . l.ate,
But give me softer words to say,
And though I suffer let me learn to
wait
For the coming of ths gladder day.
| So ever hold me, Lord, ever lead me,
Till all the wrong shall yield to right,
*And then my soul shall rise to victory,
As the day leaps out of the night.
Mr. Overs’reet predicted in his
card, I would miss the vote on the
Anti-Trust Bills. The record shows
1 voted on them. Another of his
predictions “gone wrong” and
“wide of the mark”.
Since it is apparent that Mr.
Overstreet has lost his temper and
is going to the mire with his cam
paign, I must decline to be drawn
into further newspaper constro
vercy with him. The people should
not and will not tolerate a cam
paign of abuse. Nor will they ap
prove of a groveling appeal to
prejudice. We should stand lor
harmony, peace, and good-will in
stead of “class strife” and “class
hatred”. The certain fruits of the
latter are discord and bitterness.
( A DVERTIBEM ENT)
i A thin, sickly, little man en
tered one of the stores in one of
our little towns recently and
quietly seated hims If on a con
| venient chai . One of the clerks]
approached and asked if ne wish-r
]to purchase anything. “Oh no,”
said the man, T just dropped in
for a few minutes.” After a half
hour h .d passed, the manager of
the store aporoached him and
a«ked him v.hat could be done for
him. “Why nothing that I know
of, ” sad the man. “You see I
; have nervous prostration and the
; doctor told me to stay in a quiet
place. Noticing that yon d> not
] advertise I thought this would be
about the quietest place I could
; find. ’’—Exchange.
Charlie Edwards.
There is perhaps no other man
in public life who has a strong
hold upon his friends than Charl
Edwards has. Edwards is a hard
worker and while he has introduc
ed a large number of bills which
have failed of passage and for which
he has been rigidly criticised yet it
can be said to his credit that he is
al ways on the job. There is no
nook or corner in the First’ Con
gressional dirtrict but where he
has strong friends. The poorest
and humblest citizen can always
get his attention and his wants
promply looked after at once. It
is true that Mr. Edwards has biter
unfortunate in that he has not ba? j
a sufficient numbar of post
to go arround among the boys. The
supply having beed exhausted be
fore he got around in the distribu
tion. Finding himself short on
post offices he has endeavored to
make good post office building
and sites. The fact that there is'
not a nice brown stone stone post
effice building in Statesboro, Met
ter, Brooklet and other towns of
the First congressional district is
not Charle Edwards fault. He has
recently obtained an order for the
establishment of a free city mail
delivery which will be installed in.

The addition of the name of the

makes the race for Represeiintive
more interesting, especially so on
