BIBLE THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
The cooperative marketing edition
of the Wiregrass Farmer at Ashburn
last week was a credit to the editorial
and business management of the pa
sher, and a welltimed edition of the
paper. Such strokes as this will put
the main pillars of the farming popu
lation in possession of the facts neod
ed most by the farmers, Helping
themselves is their task and knowing
how to help themselves comes from
an acquaintanceship with the facts,
Co-operative marketing is a problem
ag large as American farming-—and
that is quite large,
THE BROOKHART RISE ;
We whisper it to you, friend, that
man Brookhart who threw out Cum
mings in the lowa republican pri
mary, is onto the ways of the Cool
edge party now in power in Washing
ton, He gave the lowa farmers mor
of the real truth about thehandicaps
of legislation imposed by the manu
facturing and banking interests of this
country—he told lowa farmers mor
of the truth about what is the trouble
with agriculture in America—than we
have seon in many moons, and we
have been studying the problems our
selves, ‘
Big business and the banking inlmnl
ests of the east call such men u:"
Brookhartradical s, 1f Brookhart is
a radical, God give us more of Hll('ll‘
radicals. Rome never in the days uri
Caesar threw a conquered people in
to greater slavery than the ](-gislu-‘
tion which Coolidge and the mzmu-l
facturing trusts anq international
bankers of this country are imposing
upon American agriculture today,
Brookhart learned his lesson and he
told it to the lowa farmers. That
same story must be told over and over
again to the American farmers before
they will come out from under the
epell—and then, we suppese. like
brookhart, those who lead the cru
sade will want to be called something
else besides democrats,
Brookhart's ideals are as far from
those of an eastern democrat as hum
an thought could take him. Southern
democracy holds to the principles
with which Brookhart won his fight
on Cummings in lowa-—but southern
democracy is something different
from castern democracy, Eastern
democracy’s one aim-—the only aim it
will ever have-—is liquor. It doesn't
even know what an American farm
looks like.
They call Smith W. Brookhart ¢
radical, but he isn't, He represents
something which the democracy o!
this country alone can carry to vic
tory in an election.
FORD'S FAITH IN GEORGIA
From the Atlanta Journal we gath
er the following:
“Henry Ford, famous among othe
things, for knowing where and whe
to buy, has added five thousand acro:
to his holdings of Georgia soil, making
them in all twenty thousand. Noting
this news, the Wilkes Forum asks
with a smile of gentle irony towar
sad-eyed critics in our midst, I
Georgians hag as much faith in theis
state as outsiders have, wouldn't i
be great?”
“Despite faint hearts here and ther
and a few forlorn scolds, Georgian
have the highest and halest sort ol
faith in their commonwealth, Usual-
Iy content, though ravely scllsatisfied,
the observant amongst them can but
perceive its resources and its prom
ises and feel urged from within to
work for its continued upbuilding, in
the basic business of agriculture they
see progress of a king that spells
new freedom as well ag new prosperi
y for the man hehind the plow."”
CARSWELL, HOLDER OR HARD
MAN-—~WHICH?
Dr. Hardman of Commerce is
an upright man, a successful busi
ness man, but he has never heen
able to stir in the breast of any
considerable number of Georgi
ans the enthusiasm that delivers
a victory at the polls, There is
no indication as this race beging
that there ig any enthusiasm for
Dr. Hardman. At the outset of
the race, he eannot he wn?mldvrml
a serions factor in the race,~—Ma
con Telegraph,
This is a paragraph which so well
illnstrates the Grand Old Telegraph's
idea of how big is the Grand Old
Telegraph that we cannot help grab
bing it and slinging it back at the
Grand Old Telegraph with the flat
footed assumption that it is wholly
forgetting the real Dr. Hardman in
an effort to bring George Carswell upj
single handed to where (‘.our]ans!
may take a look at him and say he‘
's all right. The Telegraph cannot
elect a governor by itself. If it
could, it would not be good business
to take advantage of that privilege
and use it. It is wrong in the very
start,
Dr. Hardman once carried sixty
counties in a state primary. IHe went
within six county units of heing gov
ernor. The Telegraph is in error in
asserting that there is no enthusiasm
for Dr. lardman, If The Telegaph
will go out and put its ear to the
ground, it will have to confess some
thing different about Dr. llzn'(lmzm-—i
because we know it wants to be
truthful in dealing with him, Dr.
Hardman would carry Crisp county
today easily. It is so in some other
counties we know, We think it is
going to remain so (‘m dean to th(-‘
date of the primary. l
The Atlanta Journal has picked up
John Holder and is making a great
istutesnmn out of him bocaunze he
doesn't want a highway bonqd issue
for paving. John Holde: isn't sincere
in that. The Journal is a large paper
and a good cne, but it knows of a
day when John Holder was for o
state bond igsue for paving. [t also
3knmw«x of a day when he couldn't do
anything better than urge his friends
in the race for governor to vote for
Tom Hardwick—the Journal knows
ithut's how John Holder got the place
‘he now holds—helping Tom Hard
iwh'k to be governor when Tom Hard
i\\'i(-k wasn't worth a bottle of soda
pop for any service. The Journal
‘lumw»- that John Holder is the central
;l‘lmn‘v with J. J. Brown in one of the
cheapest peanut political rvings that
’«vm‘ hung out a shingle at the state
wapital. The Journal knows that John
Holder never did a thing for the pub
lic in his life that he did not lay the
polit)eal yard-stick upon it and meas
ure how mach farther up the hill it
woulg put John Holder, But llw!
Journal has a man all its own and
is trying to elect him. The Journal
is all enthusiasm over John Holder
when it knows to take John Holder's
statesmanship is to swallow a large
ivse of something unpleasant,
John Brown and John Holder are
both guiltier than any Georgian we
aver heard of before of using the tax
payer and his money for building poli
tical machines—for commercializing
state offices, Both of them sat hard
and fast over the legislature last year
and this year during the extra session
and controlled every thought, dispos
ed of every proposal as they saw fit
because they had built up a machine
that actually goes so far as to control
the clection of members of the gen
eral assembly from thevarious coun
ties all over thestate. John Holder
and John Brown are so independently
entienched in public office in Georgia
that they are the most dangerous poli-
Jdeians within our borders,
It isn’t right for John Holder to
put the state’s road mileage into his
vest pocket and then go over the state
holding public hearings at which he
can dangle it over the heads of the
voters and shout: “Now, you buck
up to me and I'll buck up to you.”
Crisp county needs more state high
way mileage, We have done what
we could to get it, Crisp county is
paving—slowly—slowly - hut' paving
It is proceding on a plan that was
first put into effect in this county—
pay-as-you-go-—four years ago. This
newspaper argued that such a plan
would work, It is working now in
more than fifty countieg—working £o
well that John Holder is leiting out
worldg of the funds in other seciion:
and—and-—waiting for us to 10il uj
a big majority in Crigp for him i th
primary before he goes mucit furthe
here,
That policy is heing follow « 2
over the state, Wherever John liold
er does a thing in paving or added
miluhgu, he puts his political yard
stick on it and measures the results,
If it nets anything for John Holder,
he puts it through, If it doesn’t—
well, it takes an awful long time to
check up with the little details before
the actual finish,
We rescnt the use of what belongs
to the public and us as a vote catcher
for John Holder. The state highway
mileage belongs to the public. The
highway paving and bridge funds—
and soft surface upkésp money--all
belong to the CGeorgia publie, It
ien't John Holder's to peddle around
where he can strengthen himself for
governor, We do not mind telling
anybody we resent that method of
vote getting,
John Hoider Isn’t going to resign
his office as chairman of the state
highway hoard hecause he doesn’t
have to—he thinks., There isn't a
Georgian within the bounds of the
state today more satisfied with John
Holder's power to control the coming
primary than is John Holder himself.
All thatconfidence comes from his
having directed the expenditure of
millions of the state’s public funds as
he thinks in a manner that will be
bound to lift him into the governor's
chair,
Holder may be ever so good a man.
e may deny and flounder as he
pleases. He ought not to he permit
’lc.l to use what belongs to the public
as he is new using the highway funds
and mileagy to get into the governor's
office. There he would continue to
use bo.h to John He'der's advantage
and the progress of the state may
zo hang. John Holder is no mom
capable of taking thelead and rendor
ing CGeorgia a real service as chief

goes on his hecls laughing at him,

shouldcrs above all these things, He
has a ifortune-—fur more than he can
gspend in caring for himself and fam
ily if he doesn’t work any more. He
hag made it as a bhusiness succoss,
He s one of the rare farming suc
cesses in Georgia-—and it takes an in
dustrious, intelligent man to succeed
on a Georgia farm, He is a clear
thinker, n higzh-minded public servant
and leader, and yet no professional
politician. Wea do not hesi‘ate to say
it—if the pcople who cast the ballots
in the September primary knew this
man, they would elect him in spite
of evervthing politics in the hands of
the Goorgia peznut political masters
might do. Nothing could defeat him,
This state has not in years nezded
such a man as Dr. Hardman morc
than it needs him now, Ia spite of
the Journal for Holder and the Tele
graph for George Carzwell, this is
the man to wip~ out peanut politics
in thig state. We kncw the man. We
have investigated him., The result is

Don’t judg‘e a motor car by its first 10,000 miles.
Almost any car will go that far in a fairly satis

The miles from then on will show you the dif
ference between Buick and a lot of other cars
that sell for the same money.
Buick cars are built for future, as well as for pres

them without a quality compromise, and still
