worthiness and ability ot D. L.
Martin to serve as representative
in the General Assembly oi Geur
gia, hereby announce him as a
candidate for nomiuation at the
Democratic White Pr.uuary to be

His past record has proven him

temperate, ardent and indefatig
able 1n any public enterprise and
fully capable of anv demand that
might arise from this ‘trust and
we announce Mr. Martin with the
assurance,that he will be honored

L. S. Yarbrough
D. A. Bragg
Mr. Martin Accepts.
Firzeerarp, Ga., July 9, 1912,
Mr. 1. GeLpErs, Editor Leader-Enterprise: ‘
I see in your issue of July sth that a number of my fellow-citizens
have announced me as a candidate for the legislature, subject to the
August primary.
After mature deliberation I have decided to give this announcement
my sanction, aud I do so with a full realization that if lam elected a
grave and sacred responsibliity will devolve upon me, but I know that I
am not inspired to do this by any unworthy motive, forl am not now, nor
have I ever been, possessed with an ambition to hold any responsible po
sition because of a fear that I could not measure up to the full require
ment of its necessities.
But I believe I do possess in my soul at least one essential qualifica
tion of efficiency, to-wit: A determination to do what I conceive to be
my honest duty without the fear of punishment or the hope of reward,
save that which comes to the finally faithful.
It is a great pleasure as well as a duty to work shoulder to shoulder
with my fellow-citizens to the end that the greatest possible good to the
greatest possible number may be attained. This is the great and true
doctrine of our constitutional liberty. -
Ido and can only regard this more as a call from my people,
and to pass it unheeded would be disloyal.
The names signed to the announcement are but a few of those
who have approached me on the subject and they have been from
every class and calling, farmers, merchants, lawyers, doctors and
laborers and by those on both sides of the prohibition issue. ‘
I most humbly and profoundly appreciate this expression of confi-
Fince, for how could I regard it but that my fellow-citizens as a whole
believe that I would do my best to give each and every class a square
deal by elminating so far as possible that which is wrong and establish-{
ing that which is right that all may enjoy every reasonable blessing to
which they =re catitled by nature and nature’s God. }
In giving my consent to this action I do so with fear and trembling, ‘
not that I may not be elected, for I would regard such an event as the
will of my people, and I will say amen and proceed on in the even tenor
of my life, liberty and pursuit of happiness will be committed to my hands,
not only of the citizens of my county, but of this great state.
I regard the responsibility of those who make law far greater than
those who execute it. When the druggist fills the prescription of the I
doctor, he neither gets the credit nor blame for the effect of its adminis
tration. j :
I have made no pledges, nor have I been asked to make any, nor will
I make any, to any person, clique or clan, other than that which I shall
conscientiously believe to be in the interest of the whole people.
1 will not, nor will I allow my friends, to spend one cent, except that
which is Jegitimately required in the interest of my election. It I ever
take the oath of office it will be . uncontaminated with falsehood, for he
who is false in his effort to secure an office will be false to his adminis
tration.
If I am elected I shall do my best to know the truth and be
guided by its beneficient light.
I shall accept the office as a sacred trust and to be false there
to I regard as the blackest treason.
My duties in a business way just at this time are many and it
will be practically impossible for me to see the people personally in
the interest of my candidacy in fact [am timid along this line. If
you dont know me ask some one who does and vote your own con
scientious convictions and your will thus expressed will be mine.
Sincerely yours. D. L. MARTIN.

Don’t ‘Shock Your
Liver With Calomel
Dodson's Liver-Tone Per
suades It to Work Natur
ally and Safely--No Re
striction of Habits or
Diet
If you have a sick horse, you
cannot make him work by beat
ing him, and if you try it you are
liable to ruin him forever. It’s the
same way with yoar liver. When
it becomes torpid snd sluggish,
you can take calomel and whip it
into action, but the calomel wili
leave your body weaker and sicker
than ever. Calome! is a very
powerful cheamical wz'e {frum
mereury.
A perfect substitute for calomel,
that has all of its medicinal pro
perties with none of its dangerous
and uncertain follow-ups, is Dod
son’s Liver-Tone.
J. Hawkins Goodman drug store
sells Dodson’s Liver-Tone with the
guarantee that if you don’v find it
a perfect substitute for calomel,
this store will gite you your mon
ey back. Dodson’s Liver-Tone is
a true tonic for the liver, purely
vegetable, and with such a pleas
ant taste that it is no trouble to
get children to take it. It is abso
lutely impossible for it to do any
one any harm, because it simply
persuades the hver to do what it
cught to do—no more and no less.
Have You Anything
To Regrei?
How often we hear yeople say,
“If I could only live again the
years I have lived, I would de bet
ter.” But how about the present
year? How about next Sunday?
Are you going to church and
Sunday School or are you going
to spend the day so later you will
regret it., The Plus Ultra Class
}of the Central Christian Church,
‘is ever working to win young
\ladies and matrons for the Sunday
School. Those who do not go any
‘wheré and those not attending
regularly. They want as many
who will to become a member of
their class, of those who do not go
to any other school, and those be
longing elsewhere but not attend
ing regular, to go to Sunday
School, Let’s all work to win
more of the girls of our city for
the Sunday School. Get them to
go somewhere, or to the School
they used to attend.
The Plus Ultra Class hopes to
se2 all of Its members out Sunday
morning. Bring someone with you.
