Responses to invitations sent
out by the Chamber of Commerce
to 60 representative sportsmen of
Spalding county to attend a
luncheon at the Griffin Hotel Sat
urday are slow in coming in.
The principal speakers will be
Peter S. Twirty, state game war
den, and E. C. Smith, deputy
game warden of Georgia, who. will
make short talks concerning the
game laws of the state. The
probable outcome of the meeting
will be the organfztion of a‘

intimidated and force overcame
her sister states, the unconquer
able courage of Georgia held true
to the faith. ^
In Georgia today, Democracy^
menaced as it has never been siricc
Georgia threw off the yoke of re
construction.
The combined vote of Coolidge
and LaFollette will be greater in
Georgia than the Republican vote
has ever before been.
This presents a situation of
grave danger, not that Georgia
will go Republican, if there is a
reasonable Democratic vote, but
that, unless the Democratic voters
of Georgia shake off their apathy
and go to the polls on November
4 and vote in greater nurtibers
than they have ever done, the
Democratic majority will be re
duced to a critical point and the
impression go out to the world
that the Democratic party is be
ing undermined in Georgia.
