GEORGIA WIDOW IS MURDERED BY SON-IN-LAW
nesville, last night and as
quickly as we finish this column
for today we are going back to
meet with our fellow editors.
Barnesville is entertaining the
newspaper men and women in
"fine style. Ben Hardy, editor
of the News Gazette, is mak
ing a host ideal.
It’s always a pleasure to at
tend these conventions and re
new friendships. There are a
score or more Georgia editors
whom we never see from year
to y(?ar except at these meet
ings but during the year we
read their papers and keep in
touch with them through cor
respondence. And it does us
good to shake their hands and
"gossip” with them when the
convention meets.
— * —
In talking with several of
them last night was impressed
with the fact that our two
Grifflnites, Judge Hunt and
Judge Flynt, are being sup
ported by many of the editors
of the state. Half a dozen told
us that they were positive
their sections of the state
would go for the two Griffin
ites. That’s fine. Now let’s
keep boosting these two ex
cellent gentlemen and we’ll see
them both elected.
— * —
In this connection it has
occured to us that Griffin peo
ple can help them a lot if
they will write letters to
f: lends in other parts of the
state asking those friends to
support them. The races for 1
secretary of state and pension
commisioner are overshadowed
by the race for governor, sen
ator and local races for the
legislature, and many persons
will go to the polls and vote
for one man or the other
ill these two races without any
interest But if we in Griffin
will write to our friends in
other counties we’ll get a lot
of Hunt ’and Flynt votes on
election day.
How about tt Griffin? Let's
help these two men in their
races,
¥
While we are speaking of
political races it-might be well
to call attention to a recent
editorial in the Atlanta Qeor
gian. No doubt our friend
Jim Nevin wrote it, it was so
sincere.
The Georgian editorial said
In part. “The most important
' election this fall is the se
lection of the next legislature.
It actually overshadows the
election for governor. Our state,
is faced with a need for a
change In tax laws and other
Important matters must be de
cided. Georgia cannot afford
to send any but the best
men to the legislature. Look
carefully to your vote when
you vote for the legislator who
will represent your county.”
Spalding county has two well
qualified men in the race here
and Spalding voters should
weigh their qualifications well
and select the man they be
lieve best qualified for the
place.

enat e Ratifies Naval Limitations Treaty
Wilt
uiLL RIII ^Hniv | \JiiA l
__
WASHINGTON July 22 ,^_
President Hoover ^ ^ the
London naval treaty, approved late
yesterday by the senate, would se
cure the full defense of the Uni.
ted States and would dismiss from
the minds of the world any idea
that this (
country aimed for im
perialistic exploitation.
Asserting the pact, which lie
will sign at 3 o'clock, today, is a
great accomplishment, the chief
executive said it was a matter of
satisfaction that it had been car
ried through step by step with the
cooperation of both political par
ties.
Both senators George and Har
ris voted for the pact.
The treaty was approved by the
senate by a 58 to 9 vote.
A half hour later, at 5 p. m., the
senate adjqourned sine die its spe
cial treaty session. Three appoint
ments by President Hoover for the
new federal power commission were
blocked and must go over to the
December session.
The agreement extends to all
classes of warships, the limitation
theory applied to battleships by the
1922 naval act. Great Britain is
placed on a parity with the United
States, treaty supporters hold, and
Japan is granted lesser tonnages.
Savings tn future naval construc
tion are estimated in hundreds c f
millions of dollars, but some of its
critics charge that the $1,071,000,000
which will be required to build the
American navy up to parity in the
five-year life of the treatv is too
much.
Three of America’s battleships,
five of Britaian's and one of Japan’s
will be junked under ti.e treaty.
One of these from each nation wih
be turned into a training ship, the
others scrapped or sunk No new
battleships are provided for under
the treaty, which extends for five
years more the capital-ship building
holiday of the 1922 treaty
