CLEVELAND ASKS TO CAST VOTES I'• .County Chairman Warns Vot ers to Closely Examine Election Ballots. Philip M. Cleveland, chairman of the Democratic committee of Spalding county, issues the follow ing statement to the Democrats of this county: : ,,u............. ... .. ........... The general election is now at hand, and due to the local and na tional Democratic issues involved, every Democrat who feels the in terest of his party ^nd nation at heart should make every effort to cast his ballot tomorrow. Several Tickets. I “As there will be several tickets at the polls, it will be necessary for every Democrat to be very careful to see exactly what ticket he iS voting. u There will be an Independent .ballot, a Republican ballot, and a Progressive ballot at the polls as well as the Democratic ballot. In many respects the other bal lots will look just like the Demo cratic ballot. Examine Ballots. il Every Democratic voter should not only look at the top of the ballot to see whether, or not it is the Democratic ticket he is voting, but should read down the ticket to see that no mistake is being made by him. << The South has always been justly criticized by our Northern and Western Democratic brothers for our failure to vote on presi dential election days. U We Democraxs fn the South should be active even when we know there is no competition to our nominees. “This year we should be espe cially active. .. There are other candidates right here opposing the Demo cratic ticket. It is to be hoped that every Democrat in Spalding county will lay aside his personal duties this day for a long enough time to cast his ballot, as it is the duty of every patriotic citizen. » GUANO PUNT IS DESTROYED BY r ■ Th' 1 Hampton Guano Company’s plant l t Hampton was destroyed by f: 1 . uly Monday morhingT T!x origin of the blaze is un kne n, although it is said to have be- . caused by defective electric wires.

I would rather have the Sphinx in the white house than Coolidge. It would do better. I am sur prised that the republicans want to come before the public at all after their behavior.
