VOTE
YOUR CONSCIENCE
You ai'e free to split your ballot as you choose.
Governor Talmadge announced October 15 that ballot will
be counted, as marked.
Your vote for Eisenhower electors cannot affect the
important chairmanships held by Georgia’s Senators and
Representatives. Governor Herman Talmadge is not run
ning for office; his name is on the ballot only as a
Presidential elector.
To vote for Eisenhomer, simply vote for the list of
electors headed by Tucker and Tuttle. Then vote on State
officials and Amendments as your conscience dictates.
But vote. This is a crucial yar and every vote counts.

Be Sure to Vote
From President of these blessed
United States of ours on down the
line to state and county officials,
men—women in a few instances—
are to be elected Tuesday.
Our voters are often not as care
ful about casting their ballot as
they should be.
Surely there was never a time in
our nation’s history when voters
needed to be on the alert than in
the approaching election.
Oldest Union Veteran, 111,
Registers to Vote
From Rochester, N. Y., came the
story last week that an ambulance
'carried 111-year-old James A. Hard
j to the polls to register.
| Transported from the nursing
home where he lives, the nation’s
[oldest Union veteran of the Civil
I War said he would vote for Gen.
' Dwight Eisenhower.
| He says he cast his first Presi
dential ballot for Abraham Lincoln
in 1860 and since then has voted in
more than 80 elections.
A New Day in the South
From a political standpoint, tl^is
year could be termed a “new day”
in the South. No less than five
states are now considered in the
doubtful column and, even more
surprising is the fact that several
of the Deep South States appear to
contain stronger Eisenhower senti
ment than any of the border
states. Various pollsters even give
Gen. Eisenhower, the Republican
candidate, the edge in one or two
Deep South States.
The five states which are con
sidered not “in the bag” for the
Democrats are: Virginia, Florida,
South Carolina, Louisiana and
j Texas. General Eisenhower has al-
J ready carried his campaign into
some of these states and will carry
it into the rest of them before next
Tuesday. ,
Whether or not the Republicans
win the five states, or only one or
two of them, the fact remains that
a political change of considerable
significance occurred in the old
[Confederate States. It has been a
[long time since the Republican
candidate f carried his campaign
I into the Deep South, and, certainly
' no Republican candidate in the
'history of his party has ever
, aroused the enthusiasm General
, Eisenhower has aroused in the
Southern States this year.
Georgia ought not be worried
about money. Indications are the
state has more than it needs.
Political propaganda makes us
lejoice that elections, both state
and national, will soon be over.
Garbage flow h sabeen the daily j
Increase for the past two weeks,
thus we have been increasing the
duties of the dump-cart driver
emptying our waste basket every
morning.
The “hit and run" driver should
be sent to the chaingang for life.
The frequency of the news item
appearing in the papers of the
country telling of another death
resulting from the carelessness and
utter disregard of life is simply ap-
paling. To run down a man with
a motor car is bad enough, but to
run away from the scene of the ac
cident is the acme of cowardice. It
is nothing less than criminal and
should be punished most severely
Congratulations to Brother G. B.
Moore of the Sparta Ishmaelite,
who advises his readers that
“Since the writer dashed off his
column for last week’s paper he
has become the grandfather of the
cutest little baby girl you ever saw
and we are proud to join the
ranks of older fellows who can
claim this honor. Of course the pa
per appeared last week after she
was born at the hospital in Bruns
wick but the column was written
ahead of time so we could rush
down there and see her. Both
mother and baby are doing fine
and are back at their home.”

Knowing her as we did some
years ago—during the latter part
of the first quarter of the 20th cen
tury especially—Mrs. L. G. Hard
man, wife of the then Governor of
Georgia all that is now' being said
of her can be easily verified.
While occupying the mansion she
is said to have received probably
more “pop” calls at the mansion
than anyone in the same position.
Not only did her charm serve as a
magnet, but she inaugurated the
custom of holding a weekly “open
house” when she entertained in
formally friends, neighbors, out of
tow’n visitors and many from dis
tant states.
