Entered at the Post Office at Cumming, Ga., August 10th, 1910, as mail matter of the second class. Advertising rates made known upon application. Cumming, Ga., August 24th, 1917. Do you hear any war talk these days? The Winder guards were called into the ser vice of the United States on August sth. The government is getting the officers ready for the different training camps. The government will soon force a lower price on coal for the people. Let it come before winter Corn took a drop of .‘s2c a bushel last week, but is still pretty high in price. If we ever have to fight Germany we want to go to France to do the scrapping. The Georgia legislature, 1917 session, is a matter of past history. The local board of Gwinnett county had to call in five hundred more men to get their quota. The peanut crop in South Georgia is said to be a whopper. Campbell county was the first one in the state to get their quota for the army. What do we care how high corn gets if our farmers have it to sell? “Booze” cars are getting to be very scarce articles in this neck o’ the woods What about that little turnip patch? Got ti sowed yet. The Torrens land title bill passed the Legis ature, and is up to the Governor for signature. About the cheapest thing we know of is a lit tle peanut politician. C. Murphy Candler has been re-elected chair man of the Railroad Commission of the state. The state of Georgia has been asked to pro duce ten billion bushels of wheat. We have the land and the men to comply with this request. Four hundred pints of whiskey were seized in a raid in Macon one night last week. It is claim ed that this stuff came up from Jacksonville. The Georgia Railway & Power Cos. will extend their line up to Silver Lake, and have it complet ed within two months. A boy over in Gwinnett county had his fing ers blown off one day last week by playing with a dynamite cap. $11,538,945,460, is the amount asked by Sec retary M’Adoo for the expense of carrying on the world war. China has entered the great world war against Germany. This makes a total of eighteen na tions against that country. The anti-draft speaker was takn from the stand at Hartwell, Ga., by some soldiers last week, and dipped in a barrel of slop. This was carrying matters pretty far. Three years ago when Hardwick ran for the Senate he was blistering the sage of McDuffie far and near in his campaign. Now he is trying to get in bed with him. judge Beverly D. Evans has been appointed to the Judgeship of the United States Court in South Georgia. His nomination has been con firmed by the Senate. Frank Mangum editor and owner of the Swainsboro Forest-Blade, has purchased the Americus Times-Recorder, paying twenty thous and dollars for the property. Senator Hardwick has introduced a resolu tion in the Senate calling on the Postmaster General to report to the Senate the exact reason why he excluded the Jeffersonians from second class mail. WHY WILLIAM J. HARRIS IS THE LOGICAL MAN FOR THE UNITED STATES SENATE j Every reader of this paper knows that The Reporter has never been partisian in its political affiliations and alignments. . .We concede to no one a superior sense of loyalty to personal (friends; at the same time we have never per mitted our mere personal likes and dislikes to influence our support of a candidate for any important public office We have never been indentified with the in ner circles of any of the political factions in this state, and do not know the lines upon which j they are built and exist. We believe, however, that we are sufficiently familiar with the leading men of the state to discriminate with some in telligence between their respective merits for certain positions. At any rate, our opinion as to these things usually culminates in strong con victions, which convictions mght to some suggest that we were really partisan. • The United States Senatorship is looming large in Georgia at present, and we believe that the masses of the people of the state are in an honest and a receptive frame of mind for the selction of the man most capable and best fitted to represent Georgia in the United States Sen ate. It is apparent that Senator Hardwick’s at titude toward the Demorcratic Administration will result in a demand on the part of the people that he be succeeded by someone in fuller sym pathy with the Administration, and we believe that the only thing which can prevent his defeat is for a multiplicity of candidates to announce and split up the opposition to him into so many units as to make the opposition impotent, and it behooves those who oppose his re-election to unite upon some strong and available man who can carry their cause to victory. To us there is no Georgian who approaches in point of availability, competency and tested loy alty William J. Harris —referred to as the Trust ed Friend and Advisor of the President. More than this his position as chairman of the Fedral Trade Commission, which requires that he deal with potential business interests of the Nation, has peculiarly fitted him for grappling with the momentous business issues' which are sure to evolve out of this world war. So much for his competency and fitness; now as to his availabil ity. No public man in Georgia has a more en gaging personality, no man in Georgia is more throughly democratic in his ideals or who is so generally recognized as being a man of the masses. He has never displayed any plutocra tic tendencies, but has served modestly and faith fully in every position to which he has been elec ted or appointed. Moreover, he belongs to no particular faction, though no doubt all of the factions will try to claim him. Factionalism has been blight of Georgia for a score of years, and it would be refreshing to see a man selected for Georgia s highest office who stands for the good that is in all factions and for the best interests of the state. William J. Harris may not become a candidate, but he is not the character of a man to refuse any service of the pepole of his state, and already there has been a remarkably strong sentiment manifested in his behalf. To place Georgia squarely be hind the country’s r atest President—Wood row Wilson,and to prove that the patriotism of Georgians is superior to mere partisanship and factionalism, nothing more would be necessary than the election of “Bill” Harris to the United States Senate. —Washingon, Ga., Reporer, Aug. 3rd. - ~ >5 Mrs. Victor Innes was tranferred this week from Fulton county jail to the State Farm at Milledgeville to serve a three year sentence. Commissioner' of Commerce and Labor of Georgia reports that the manufacturing indus tries of the state are in excellent condition. A base Hospital, containing fifty eight build ings and to care for two thousand patients will soon be erected at Augusta. If it is anything with electricity connected with it, leave it to Bro. Edison. He will fix it up to a queen’s taste. We would like for the people of the county to get together and have a market day like some of the other towns around us are doing. A movement is on foot for the government to advertiser the next liberty loan in all the papers of the United States wihout regard to their po litical aspirations. From The Macon Telegraph.
