THIS ONE PUT HIM OUT |
' Candidate FElders states in
kis published platform that a
million dollars could be saved
the state by abolshing useless ‘
offices and other economies.
Since the entire appropriations
of civil government, including
salaries of judges and sollctors,‘
is less than half million, it is
not easy to see where the mil
lion could be saved—Conyers
" Times..
That is generally the kind of bunk
a fellow uses in order to climb to an
office far too big for him. But since
Elders is no longer a candidate let’s
forget him and his vagaries.—
Dalton Citizen,
And this one possibly put him out
of the running. He is of the type of
statesmen who can save a million
dollars in useless salaries when the
entire salary list amounts to but half
that much. If there was no other
man to ofics for governor, Mr. Hers
ckel Elders of Reidsville, Tatnall
county, would bhe a bad risk.
The best thing he ever did was to
withdraw. For once in their dear
sweet lives we believe the people
told a candidate the truth about it
—they did not intend to vote for him.
We would prefer not to write just
here an honest ouinion of the states
manship there is in Herschel Elders.
SPIT RED AND CUSS
Judging from the amount of
tobacco being grown in South
Georghi , do you supposte. we will
be rin out of town if we suggest
that now is a good time for the
South Georgians to spit red and
cuss —Dalton Citizen.
The South Georgia tobacco crop
has turned the first real money worth
cunting in five years in this section.
Spitting yed—we'll leave off the
other while company is present—
is the mildest kind of celebration.
Few people who have not seen it
have any sort of idea of the magni
tude of the South @eorgia tobaccd
industry. It is tremendous this year.
There is the finest yield ever known.
And there are crops that are re
markably good. Many a whiskered
debt is going to be paid off this fall
because the crops were all good and
promise to bring a fair to good price
on the markets.
HARDWICK’'S CANDIDACY
The Cordele Dispatch of Wed- :
nesday afternoon had an edito.r-‘
ial over two columns in length un
der the caption, “Hardwick's
Campaign,’’ and it was a good
one. It left nothing that would
appeal to loyal Democrats and
fair-minded men for Mr. Hard
wick's candidacy to stand on.
—Albany Herald.
Here and there wise political
prorhets assume to know that Tom
Hardwick is going to run a hulluva
race against Senator Harris. We are
not expressing ourselves about that.
Senator Harris is not assuming that
Toem Hardwick will not get any
vetes. Harris is hard down at work
as though he had a formidable oppon
ent.
Well may Senator Harris be busy.
Harwick has great wads of money
and he is spending it as though it
came through the hack door with the
breezes of the night. He is master of
many methods in politics and against
him an honest, upright man in pub
llic office has to conduct a careful
fight.
l We cannot believe the voters who
cere about service in public office
!nre going to let Hardwick make
much headway-—buvt Senator Harris
is working away—leaving no stone.
unturned. .
NOBODY SAID 80
' People who have kidded them
selves into the belief that Tom
Hardwick will get no votes for
the United States senate are due
for an awakening.—Dalton Citi
zen,
Let u 3 get the thing straight ahead
()4 u@—»nobody that we know has said
Ilardwick would not get any votes.
Georgia is a large state—far too large
‘fm- that much of hill and (lu](r, farm
and fire side, moonshine and sun
‘shine, without an intermixture of
hell-raisers, poker players, hootleg
gers, and that type of man who
moves vnder the assumjtion that the
world owes him a living.
Hundreds of voters still play with
the ballot—do not stop to measure
the services of a real man in office—
do not measure cpatriotic devotion—
do not care what goes with the gov
ernment, A drink of soda pop and
a social hour with a hale fellow is all
that is necessary. That clement that
wears a freckled shirt and a breath
aromatic in bootleg liquor and cheap
cheroots is still going to vote for
Tom Hardwick.
But, Bud, you’ll never hear of a
citizen who cares what kind of gov-
ernment we have, who thinks of
churches and schools and homes, who
live 8 his daily contribution to the
making of a civilation upon which
the state and the nation can depend
—you'll never hear that type of cit
izen shouting for Hardwick, and
you’ll never hear the good women of
Georgia advocating his cause. We
are quite sure of that.
Yes; we think Tom 'Hardwick will
got some votes. But we’ll tell you
gome more about it—he is not going
to win the office to which he and
Senator Willlam J. Harris aspire.
Harris may have made his mistakes,
but with all of them he ig so much
more worthy of the office that
(Gicorgians are going to send him
back. !
Let'em howl Hardwick. That may
do some good, but it isn’t going to
make him United States senator—
Georgians will see to that,
WE'RE FIGHTING FOR OUR
OWN TOWN.
Editor Charley Brown, of the
Cordele Dispatch, is reaching
out for ‘‘normaley.’’ He is again
jumping on the power companies.
~—Dalton Citizen.
We have as much right to fight for
a veasonable lighting and power rate
in this town as the editor of the
Dalton Citizen has to fight for a new
depot in his town. Both are worthy
couses—and this town needs a rea
scnable lighting and power rate just
as much as does Dalton need a new
depot.
Up in North Georgia all the towns
half our size enjoy a nine cent light
ing rate. They get their street Ights
at such a low rate that they can
have the prettest white ways imag
inable. The stranger in the north
Georgia town at night cannot help
getting an impression of civie pride,
ol civic beauty, of prosperity—all due
to the white ways in the main sec
tions.
The City of Moultrie Georgia, as
far away from AMany as is Cordele,
and then some, gets the same amount
of ecurrent for street lighting from
the Albany plant of the Alabama
Power Company fot one thousand nine
hundred and eighty dollars for which
we pay forty-eight hundred and
twelve dollars, The annual bill in
Moultrie for the same amount of cur
rent that Cordele used in its streets
is delivered by the same concern for
two-fifths the cost of current for
street use in Cordele. We have no
white way in Cordele—cannot have
one in a thousand years under su(;h
charges. It would be extravagance
with the tax payers money touse the
current for white way at the rate we
ray.
The domestic lighting, homes and
business houses are on a thirteen
cent scale—fifty percent above that
of the little north Georgia town. Is
it right that we should complain.
Every competitive point in South
Georgia has thirty to fifity percent
cheaper lights. So with power. It 18
time the pcople of Cordele did some
thing to rvelieve this burden—to
show some pride in their own town
—we think it i's high time.
WILLIAM H. LIT'I:LE
When death came to William H.
Little today, it took dway a good
man. This community will miss him.
Honor and integrity were fixed laws
with him, let others belicve and do
what they may. He was a citizen
upen whom everybody could depend
in any crisig. In the hour of neced he
was at his post of duty, never shirking,
never tiring.
With a great hold upon his christ
ian ideals, he lived them in a modest
manner, He was a head of the house
hold of the rare, dependable type and
those who looked to him for support
and guidance as it should come from
the mind and the heart of father and
‘hugband, found it as a jewel rare and
real and true. If his life has not
touched and softened others, then we
cshould say it i 8 not worth much in
the world to ti'y to bea christian in
example.
/He met his fiellow in husiness, in
church and social life as though he
cared how the future went. His hope
of rendering fullest service ran deep
and quiet in his better self—hut who
cver touched him with close contact
could find it unshaken, an admirable
example in the every day man—an
exampde which ordinarily resulted in
2 net seumming up of a good man’s
life that helped every other man who
came in touch.
Kindly consideration of the other
fellow and the other fellow’s view-
Loint was a marked characteristic
of Mr. Little. He had his convictions
and spoke plainly so that all could
know where he stesd! but when he
found somebody differing, he was
more than the average man charita
ble and willing to live a give and take
schedule.
All the men of all this community
have a great loss in his death. Truly
he would—as all- of us should—not
dodge or complain when his call
should come. He had christian couvr
ige. It was his hour to answer. Peace
to his ashes.
Thing): look a little like old times
with cotton coming to town as it
did today. There will be at least
enough to ease up some of the press
ing debts.
We do not blame the prosccution
in the Lecpold-Loeb trial for attack
ing the defense theory of gland weak
ness as a cause for the murder of the
FFranks boy. One might almost as
well say that the moon was changing
and that the change affected the
minds of the murderers, Evidently
they were distorted in mind when
they decided to kidnap and kill. There
i 3 an age old law which provides for
the disposal of such derilicts, wheth
or they have left hand or right hand
nerformances of those duties nature
assigned to the glands.

THE CORDELE DISPATCH
Senator Harris already has his foot
into & railroad political activity in
Georgla against him. He may well af
ford to tell the Interstate Commerce
Commigsior. that he hopes for a re
ducticn 4n the freight rates on farm
products in this state. We hope the
farmers of Georgia will have good
judzment enough to stick to Bill
Harris when ue tries to stick to
them. Put it would be just like the
rail uddies to go out and tell the
farme:s DBill Harris is trying to . be
friend that they should vote against
Harris for it.
