BONDS FOR TIFTON.
"The measure was designed as an
emergency measure, an expedient
during the time of general flnanefal
depression, which would relieve many
worthy cases of embarrassment and
give good men an opportunity to re
cuperate their lost fortunes Now,
however, there is no need In these
times of unprecedented prosperity
for this hard time medicine. It Is
a patent invitation for rascality. If
you will look at the records you will
see that a majority of the bankrupts
are young men. It Is a bid for dis
honesty. It Is legalized graft. And
perhaps the worst feature of the law
In effect Is that a farmer who needs
to borrow money on his land can’t;
do It many times on account of the j
fact that the money lender la afraid
that In the four months limit he may
go Into bankruptcy I am receiving
much encouragement in my corres-1
pondence and conference with other

sition likewise.”’
