> ! '• ? , '!■ HI ■ The Monroe Advertiser VOLUME SEVENTY-SIX RUSSELL SPEAKS TO VOTERS HERE YOUTHMiL CANDIDATE FOR GOVL^^h/rv "AKES FAVORA BLE IMPRESS*— HEAR- ERS HERE SATURDA»... ~ . Hon. Dick Russell, Jr., candidate for governor of Georgia, addressed an audience of Monroe county voters at the courthouse in Forsyth Saturday afternoon and his speech made a very favorable impression by reason of its sincerity and practical aspects. He discussed his theory of the re organization of the state government, the main feature being the elimina tion of useless and expensive depart ments and boards. This, he pointed out, would lead to a decrease in tax es, since the only way to lessen taxes is to cut down expenses. As to the school book proposition, he advocat ed the printing of books by "the state in order that they might be sold cheaper, and argued that free school books were not feasible since the state was already several million dol lars in debt. He advocated the pay as-you-go system of road-building, giving as his reason that the revenue for roads had been increased to such an extent that the work could be car ried on with sufficient speed without a bond issue and with no increase in taxation. . In connection with the general as pects of the race for governor, Mr. Russell stated that he was not identi fied with any of the political factions which had hampered Georgia politics in the past and was therefore better fitted than any other candidate to seek the cooperation of the legisla ture. He brought out the fact that he was running against men who had already been defeated for this office and was giving the voters an oppor tunity to support a man whom they had not already rejected- He also pointed out that some other candi dates had adopted as part of their platforms certain principles which had first been advocated by himself. Mr. Russell took occasion. to an swer certain objections which had been advanced against his candidacy. As to being too young for the office, he stated that he was old enough twelve years ago to wear the uniform of his country upon the battlefields of France. In regard to the objec tion that two offices should not be held by members of the same fam ily, he argued that a father’s promi nence could not justly be made a handicap for his son and that in the cases of Holder, Carswell and Perry the situation arose of men holding to one office with one hand while with the other they reached for a second office, which related two offices to one man instead of two to one fam ily. The address of Mr. Russell was well received and it seemed apparent that he strengthened his candidacy while here.

MRS. W. G. SMITH DIES IN MILLEDGEVILLE HOSPITAL The following account of the death Tuesday night of Mrs. W. G. Smith, a native of Monroe county and a sis ter of Hon. C. M. Taylor, is taken from The Macon Telegraph: Mrs. Walter G. Smith, 60, widow of a former attorney for Bibb county, died last night in a private sanitar rium at Milledgeville, it was learned here. Her husband died eight years ago. Mrs. Smith, who made her home in Macon at 413 Spring street, had lived here most of her life until she became ill a year ago. She was born in Mon roe county, and before her marriage was Miss Juliet Taylor. Surviving Mrs. Smith are her daughter, Mrs. Poul M. Grubbs, of Raleigh, N. C.; her step-son, Eric W. Smith, of St. Louis, Mo.; two sisters, Mrs. R. D. Maddox, of Macon, and Mrs. S. T. Rumble, of Texas, and two brothers, Eugene Taylor, of Denver, Col., and C. M. Taylor, of Forsyth. The body will be brought to Macon for funeral services and interment SEEKS TO PAY BILLS; FINDS NONE TO ACCEPT During these days when the discus sion of hard* times is popular both as an indoor and outdoor sport, there are a number of reasons why bills re main unpaid. Some of us manage to dodge the bill collector, others have no money when they are caught and a few have the money and cannot find the ones to whom it is due. Such was the experience of a certain up right and punctual citizen of Monroe county who was in Forsyth Tuesday bent on the celebration of the first pf July by the payment of his bills. In at least two instances, he stated, he called in vain in an effort to liqui date his indebtedness, finding no one to receive the money. Such an experience is unusual both as to the anxiety to pay and the fail ure to get rid of what you owe, and the gentleman in question could prob ably become more prosperous than he already is if he could furnish to the public a receipt for the absence of those who ought to be paid. WOMAN’S CLUB MEETS TUESDAY The Woman’s Club will meet Tues day afternoon, July 8, at four o’clock at Bessie Tift college with Miss Juli ette Rutherford, Mrs. W. B.

The meeting was well attended and was presided over by Mr. U. S. Fuller of Cullo den in place of Mr. J. E. Abercrom bie, who had resigned the presidency of the association on account of his health. Mr. Fuller delivered a short address in which he stressed the im portance of dairying to the county and the need of organization in order to promote the interests of the in dustry. The election of a presdient of the association was next in order and Mr. H. C. Waldrep was unani mously elected. The first speaker of the afternoon was Mr. Chas. A. Sockwell, prominent dairyman of Covington, who discuss ed pastures. He stated that good land and plenty of fertilizer were neces sary, but that cheap feed for cows would be the result. He recommend ed lespedeza as better than alfalfa and stated that Bermuda grass was good and could be grown from roots better than from seed. Following his address he answered a number of questions regarding the pasture prob lems. Major Mallett of Jackson spoke on the subject of county organization. He stated that organization was nec essary in order to solve the problem .of surplus milk and propounded the [theory that low producing cows are the causes of surplus, it being better to have fewer cows whose higher pro duction would represent a smaller cost per gallon to the dairyman. The dairymen were urged to join the county ascociation. have a represent ative in the state association and back up the president of the county asso ciation. Dr. A. Chamlee spoke on the dairy industry. He said that success lies in the building up of good pastures, and advocated the testing of cows and the turning of unprofitable cows into the beef herd. He cited the fact that proper attention to calves would result in profitabe, high producing cows, emphasized the dairying ad vantages of Monroe county and re commended the raising of alfalfa. Dr. P. H. Bahnsen, in charge of the Dairying Division of the State De partment of Agriculture, made the closing address and discussed the makreting angle of the industry. He stated that economy in production lost its value unless milk could be sold. The dairymen were urged to specialize on the winter market and to market the milk as a group or community with a central shipping station and to avoid shipping a sur plus. The care of calves was stress ed, as proper attention to them meant good cows. He asserted that if dai rymen were businesslike and stressed quality, the market problem would be practically solved. Dr. Bahnsen also outlined the purpose and require ments of the state organizat on and its schedule was adopted by the Mon roe county association.

Rhodes Realty Co. Real Estate Specialists NUMBER TWENTY-TWO PLAN HIGH SCHOOL BAND FOR FORSYTH PLANS BEING FORMULATED BY CARL SHOCKLEY TO GIVE FORSYTH HIGH CLASS ORGAN IZATION THIS FALL. Plans are now being formulated for the organization of a high school band in Forsyth. Mr. Carl Shockley has the matter under consideration and will have the cooperation of the various organizations of Forsyth which are interested in the move ment. Mr. Shockley is himself a mu sician and has had success in the or ganization, conducting and training of such bands in other schools, and with the further consolidation of at tendance at the Forsyth school next session will have ample material from which to develop a fine set of musi cians. It goes without saying that the or ganization of such a band will do much to foster school spirit, develop the musical talent of the members of the band and advertise the school and county. Those who attain efficiency in this band would have a valuable asset in pursuing courses at higher institutions of learning as they would thus be materially aided in meeting the expenses of a college course. It is expected that Mr. Shockley will receive enthusiastic support in this movement and that a fine band will be developed here which will fill a need which has long existed.

This picture, eight reels, is one of the most powerful patriotic film pro ductions ever made. The New York Review says of this picture: “No word thus far spoken, no picture thus far shown, contains so much inspira tion for Americans.” The Moving Picture World says: “Will thrill an audience to the core." If you are an American, See “The Man Without a Country.” Fi u IN THE THICK AND THIN of life we shouldn’t lose sight of the fact that we know that several of our lo cal fathers object to their daughters marrying because they don’t feel able to keep a son-in-law. You shouldn’t lose sight of the fact that economy in paint does not consist in buying the cheap est you can get. On the con trary, the best you can buy is far the cheaper. If you buy DuPont Paints from us you won’t have to buy near ly so often. Paint that lasts is cheaper than paint that doesn’t. GEORGIA HARDWARE CO.
