courthouse here Saturday after
noon last.
After being introduced by Hon.
C. W. Foy, Senator Hardwick
spoke for one hour and forty-five
minutes and throughout his ad
dress followed closely the lines of
other addresses recently made in
this state, and was frequently
applauded.
He discussed the issues in which
he disagreed with the adminis
tration and those he endorsed,
often sighting his audience to the
congressional record of his vote
on certain war measures, as well
as those against the same, ex
plaining in both instances his
reasons for so voting.
He said he had stood for re
strictions on immigration with
three-fourths of Congress and
nine-tenths of the people of Geor
gia.
Senator Hardwick said Presi
dent Wilson’s campaign manager’s
had promised negro bishops that
if Mr. Wilson was elected the
same number of office holders
would be appointed by Repub
licans. The President had asked
him, he said, whether he would
support such nominations. He
had declined to make such promise
and the appointments had not
been made.
“I saw no necessity for the food
control bill as drawn, he said,
“particularly as regards licensing.
As to conscription, I believe that
was unnecessary and that the
United States would have raised
an army just as .quickly without
conscription. .But when the bill
was passed I addressed an open
letter to Georgia urging that the
law be obeyed and supported.”
I agreed with President Wil
son as to the necessity of arming
our merchant ships when Ger
many fired on our flag. I voted
and supported the declarations of
war against her. I am willing to
shed every drop of American
blood and every dollar of Amer
ican money to press the war for
protection of American honors.”
Senator Hardwick referred to
his opponents, Messrs Harris,
Howard and Shaw, several times
during his address more in a
humorous way than otherwise.
He made a vigorous and unjust
attack, we think, on the news
papers classing all, large and
j small, on the lowest scale of
journalism because all have not
agreed with him on some of his
public issues, apparently ovei look
ing the fact that at least some of
the papers have shown him equal
consideration with other can
didates and refrained from re
ferring to him in the least unpleas
ant terms. His reference to the
papers opposing him on account
of his actions towards increasing
the postage rate on newspapers
and magazines was another attack
that was unwarranted, for there is
at least one newspaper we know
that was in sympathy with him in
this matter. If ne'cessary the
postmaster at Butler can vouch
for the correctness of this state
ment.
Again we can assure the gentle
man that the advertising columns
of this paper are open to all can
didates alike, and at the same
advertising rate.

IN MEMORIAM
Mrs. Annie Maud Daniel, Born
April 24. 1898; Died Sept. 26, 1917.
As the golden sunlight of a new
born day sent in its bright radiance
across the sky the spirit of our
noble sister winged its flight to
celestial shores, leaving those who
loved her weeping over the beau
tiful tenement of clay that had
been her soul’s dwelling price.
Say not the story of her life is
ended, for it has only begun in
sweet fields of Eden. Maudie was
a true Christian womaTi, uniting
with the Missionary Baptist church
at the early age of twelve years.
In early womanhood she was
united in marriage to Mr. Lee
Daniel. To them was born one
child who was named Ruby. Af
ter marriage she joined the Free
will Baptist church to be with her
husband. She is survived by her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Greene;
four sisters, viz: Mrs. F. E. Dan
iel, Mrs. Nannie Mae Rumph, Miss
es Kathleen and Lucy Greene; a
husband and one child; and a host
of friends and relatives. Let us
weep not, dear ones, for we know
that she is waiting for us at the
pearly gates. Let us strive to
meet her there where there will
be no more goodbyes and no fare
well tears to shed.
Written by her sister,
Mrs. F. E. Daniel.

Take Warning!
It is a matter of right, and the
consumer’s just due, thatTie have
correct weight in the purchases
which he may make, whether the
purchase be fro'm a merchant or
producer. So, I call attention to
the producer of Butter, not to de
pend upon the butter-mould for
correct weight,. but to weigh the
butter and see that half pound
contains 8 ounces and that each
pound" contains 16 ounces. And
not to be governed by the butter-
moulds as heretofore. I intend to
see that the consumer has his just
due. J. T. ADAMS,

Aim to Be Sincere. —-
To be sincere should be the aim of

horse or milch cow of the family. One
will not, if sincere, commercialize hi*
gifts or his culture; he will not pander
to the lower appetites of the masse*
or the whims of the rich. For one
should be sincere in his entire being.
In his faiths and in his doubte, if he
has them, in his optimism and in hi*
