“‘Everything comes to those

to be the motto adopted by our

been hustling this spring.
In backing up their excellent

window displays have proved most
effective. According to a conver
sation with one of our reporters
there has been an unusual amount
‘of painting done in Kitzgerald,
Ga., this spring. That’s a sign of
Iprosperity we're very glad to see.
‘ This week floor paints is the

West Point, Ga.
the Tybee lights reflect their shad
ows in the ocean blue, to Rabun Gap,
where the tall rugged mountains,
reach way up towards the sky line
and the god of day kisses into exist
ence the lights which awakens the
state from its peaceful night’s repose.
Business men and farmers respond
to the call for the support of W. Trox
Bankston of West Point, for Railroad
Commissioiner, as naturally as the
sunflower turns to the sun, and the
politicians realized that the people’s
candidate was in the race for a win
ner.
Endorsed by more than a hundred
weekly papers from every section of
this grand old state, reinforced by
the daily papers in every city in Geor
gia, business men, farmers and even
clergymen joined in the chorus that
the man who had helped to mould
public sentiment for a quarter of a
century was worth while, and that
divided lines could be reconciliated
by Bankston’s election as Railroad
Commissioner,
The sterling Democrat who would
denounce his best friend, if he ignor
ed the call of the masses, when their
interests were at stake, responded to
the call of service when the people
spoke.
During the state convention the At
lanta Constitution said: |
“W. Trox Bankston, editor of the
West Point News, who is a candidate
for the state railroad commission,
was among the politiclans mixing
with the delegates from all seotionsi
of Georgia at the state convention.
“A trip through south Georgia con
vinces me,” said Mr. Bankston, “that
the man who beats me has got to gat!
up and hustle.”
‘Mr. Bankston seems to know and
be known by as many Georgians as
any man in the state, and has receiv
ed assurances of support from all
sections of the state.
In his announcement Bankston
says:
I am a candidate for Railroad Com
missioner to succeed Judge George
Hilyer, who will mot stand for re-elec
tion, and I most sincerely desire to
occupy the vacant chair.
For a quarter of a century I have
faithfully fought the battles of De
mocracy; although I might have been
obstreperous in the advocacy of my
honest convictions and support of my
friends, 1 have never shied, halked or
kicked over the traces after the peo
ple have spoken, because, I believe
the majority should rule.
[ have not been bodily thrust into
this candidacy by irresistible forces
of innumeriable friends, but have
yielded to a laudable ambition, en
couraged by friends in every section
of the state.
It is not my intention to confiscate
the railroads, nor do I think they own
the state. Neither shall the corpora
tions or trusts dictate the policy of
Gecorgia. I sincerely believe that rail
roads have done more for the upbuild
ing of the state, than any other one
factor, and shouid receive fair and
just dividends on their actual invest
ments; yet, the water shonld be
soneezed ont of inflated hond !sauesq

To the People of Ben Hill County:
During the 1911 session of the

[ served you, I endeavored earn
estly and faithfully 1 the support
of all the General measures that I
advocated and pledged in my for
mer race for Representative. viz.
Laws with reference to Labor,
and the extension of Education.
And in co-operating with others
equally interested, such Laws wire
enacted and in my opinion of
thought, have met with approeval
in general to the people of Geor
gia, especially in the New School
Law where an additional One
Hundred Thousand Dollars goes
to the children of this State.
I voted for ¢very meaure that
tended to uplift the people and
state, |
I was always on the side with
the people in common as against
special interest, ‘
I met regularlly with my Com

some among the most important,
such as, Education ‘‘Banks and
Banking” Railroads” Ways and
Means and Corporations etc
My conduct as your Represen

position to still render more and
better service to the people of my

I am anxious to serve you again
