all admit that a truly prosperous
agricultural class means a coun
try’s prosperity. We seek that
and that only. Our battle cry
this year shall be education along
every line for t(ie adult farmer,
on whom we are all immediately
dependent, and him loyal to his
calling.
“We shall insist that he con
duct his farming on strictly busi
ness principle's, as does the true
banker, the merchant, the insur
ance man, the fertilizer company.
“That he shall cut out unre-
munerative acres, as the banker
would unsafe paper, as the mer
chant would an unsaleable article,
the fertilizer man a nonpaying
brand.
“That he shall make no unnec
essary debt.
“That he shall farm intensively
inst n ad of extensively.
“That he shall supply from his
own farming all food and forage
crops for Iris family and his stock.
“In a word, home corn cribs and
home smoko houses shall be our
slogan forever.
“Upon the soundness of these
principals we stand and we ask
and expect, as we have the right,
the loyal support of every true
American.”

CAPTAIN WILLIAMS
VISITS THE C01NTV.
Many Warm Friends
Greet the Leading
Candidate.

y AN DISKS VI 1.1.a Dltl’O Go.
Captain Wiley Williams, of
Columbus, chief of police of that
city and for many years president
of the county officers and police
chiefs Association was a distin
guished visitor to Sandersville
Tuesday.
Captain Williams lias many
warm friends in this city who
gave him a cordial greeting and a
hearty welcome.
This was the lirs^ visit of Cap
tain Williams to the county ami
he waR agreeably surprised at the
splendid section, though expecting
to find one of the best sections in
Georgia and especially at the many
evidences of progress and growth
in Sandersville and Tennille.
Captain Williams was in the
best of health and spirits and gave
some lessons in hearty, sincere
handshakes and cordial greetings
that won for him many enthusias
tic friends.
While here ho showed much in
terest in looking through the of
fice so long occupied by Major
Newman whom he had known
and admired for years and also
greatly appreciated the greetings
of his old friends including the
officers and those who had served
the people in the past.
Tuesday evening the Captain
dined with some of his friends at
the Julidji, hero, several of whom
assured linn that lie would not he
lacking in earnest workers for
him in his race for Prison Com
missioner.
Captain Williams expressed re
gret at not being able to remain
away from his duties long eifcugh
to visit each of the towns of the
county. “I wish very much I
could go to Riddleville,” said lie,
“because every vote cast, at that
precinct was for me before and
that time I. had only a few days
to make the race and no time to
make a canvass.” It will be re
called that Capt. Williams lacked
only forty-one votes of carrying
this county before and never made
a visit here./
Those who met him are not sur
prised that he gave Col. Eason
the race of his life in the former
race, though waiting until the
last moment to come out and
making no canvass.
It. is doubtful if any man in
Georgia lias so many warm per
sonal friends as lias the Columbus
candidate. In Columbus, he is
known and admired by everybody,
having served for twelve years
and more as police chief, and the
people there believe in him. His
record shows that lie has made an
ideal chief of police and his long
experience will no doubt enable
him to servo well the people wf
Georgia on the prison commission.
Capt. Williams is said to bo one
of the strictest commanding offi
cers of police in Georgia and at
the samo time one of the gentlest
and kindest of men, compelling
duty by the regard his men have
for him more than by any other
force and it is perhaps on account
of the great respect the mop haye
for him as well as Ins own strict
attention always to duty that has
given him the reputation of being
one of the best police chiefs in
America.
There seems to bo no doubt
about Capt. Williams carrying
this section of Georgia and he
states that the ontiook for his
election grows brighter every d-<y
and that ho feels sure of success
from the many encouraging re
ports from every section.
