Seventh District.
GORDONLEERUNSFOR RE-ELECTION
The Seventh’s Popular “Working Congress
man” Announces Candidacy.
ORGANIZE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
With C. I. Scarbrough as President — Nearly
All Our Business Men Join.
Hon. Gordon Lee, the beloved Con
gressman from the Seventh, this
week announces his candidacy for re-
election.
And the announcement is most
gratifying to his host of friends
.throughout the district, who delight
to do him honor because of their
warm personal regard for him and
because of thu splendid service he
has rendered in his public career.
By close attention to the duties of
his position in Congress, Mr. Lee has
made himself one of the Democratic
leaders in that body, and at the same
CALHOUN TODAY
Amateurs Beat Prades.
Did we “interest” the semi-profes
sional team from Atlanta last Thurs
day?
Well, rather—we'll say we did!
The Pradites were over an horn-
late getting here, and when they
tried to lambast Dewey Rainwater’s
hot ones, they were late again. And
Dewey made ’em all hot.
The visitors had a veteran battery
in Fincher and Lyle, but our boys
got IB runs from them. One was a
home run by Vic Crumbley, and
Knowles and Spence copped 3-bag
gers at times that counted.
The Prades were able to get only
three runs from Rainwater and
Spence. “Our whole team “played
ball.”
The visitors started the game with
a confident air, and it was “real rude’
of our boys to romp over them in
such a ruthless way.
And today Calhoun comes.
This is one of the strong teams of
this section, and will prove worthy
foes of our Amateurs.
There should be a big crowd to see
the game this afternoon.
Miners Massacred.
We are sending missionaries to
foreign lands, as is our duty, but are
neglecting sections of our own coun
try with disastrous results.
A tragedy occurred last week in
the coal mining district of Illinois
that was a disgrace to civilizaton.
The striking miners captured a
mine that the owners were trying to
operate with non-union labor, and af
ter destroying the property with dy
namite marched forty-four men off
into the woods and brutally murdered
them. Heathen savages would hard
ly have given their victims more
cruel treatment than the strikers and
wives gave to these men, whose only
crime was that they wanted to work.

time he has taken pleasure in render
ing the largest possible individual
service to his constituents.
Georgin hns no Congressman who
stands higher than Gordon Lee in
Washington, and none who is more
generally beloved by “the folks back
home.” His ripe experience ami
sturdy common sense are of inesti
mable value to the nution at this
time, and the longer he remans in
Congress, the better service he can
render.
Mr. Lee will doubtless be honored
this year by re-election without oppo
sition, just as he so richly deserves.
Court Postponed.
Because of farming conditions,
Judge J. L. Tison has very wisely or
dered postponement of the July term
of Polk’s City Court, subject to call.

And now “let’s go!”
Cedartown lms “just taken a very
'mpnrtant step in organizing n Cham
ber of Commerce on n “pay” basis.
We have had such organizations in
the past without other initiation fees
or dues, in which all officers served
without any compensation whatever.
This is all right, of course, for all ex
cept the Secretary, but no one can
afford to give the time that should
properly be spent in that line with
out getting paid for it. Besides this,
the secretaryship of such an organi
zation has grown into a regular line
of business, for which a man should
have or should take special training.
Tlu} writer served for many years as
secretary of previous Boards of
Trade and Chambers of Commerce,
and is prepared to testify that no one
can afford to spend the time thus
freely given in such public service.
Certainly it could not be done by
anyone in these days when Cedar-
town has determined to get a new
hustle on herself, and take advantage
of our present opportunities for
growth and development.
It is the idea of the new organiza
tion to employ a regular Secretary,
who shall give all his time to the
work,—and this means Business with
a "big B.” ,
A mass meeting of citizens was
held Thursduy uvening on the Court
House grounds, at which live talks

MEXIC OUTLAWS
HOLD AMERICANS AND THEIR
PROPERTY FOR RANSOM.
Mexican bandits have seized the
property of the Cortez Oil Co., an A-
inerican concern, near Tampico, and
are holding under guard forty Amer
ican citizens and a quarter of a mil
lion dollars worth of property against
a demand for the payment of a ran
som of $7,500.
Secretary of State Hughes has in
structed Charge d'Affaires Summer
lin, at Mexico City, to make the most
urgent representation to the Mexican
government. The consulate at Tam
pico likewise has been ordered to pro
cure the immediate release of the A-
mericans.
Perfumed Pottery.
Sounds odd, doesn’t it? And mys
terious I Well, it is both— one of
those rare novelties requiring genius
and craftsmanship to produce.
Perfumed pottery is just what the
name implies. It is made from clay
saturated by secret process with de
lightful perfume that withstands fir
ing in the kiln, and when finished has
the properties of a sachet.
The delicate odor of a single piece
of Perfumed Pottery is quite discern-
ablc in a fair-sized room.
We have just received a shipment.
Prices from 50 cents to $1 each.

STRIKE COMING
Saturday Unless Rail
roads Yield to Unions.
A strike of the 400,000 railway
shopmen of the country will be call
ed for July 1st unle.ss the railroads
agree to stay the $60,000,000 wage
cut due the shop workers on that
date and to restore certain working
conditions formerly in effect.
The committee left but one loop
hole to avoid the strike. If the rail
heads arrange an immediate confer
ence agreeing to continue the present
wages, restore working rules modified
by the Railroad Labor Board and dis
continue farming out railroad work,
a walkout can be halted.
The railways insist that the em
ployees share the cut which capital
and other lines of labor have had to
take, so the strike scheduled for Sat
urday is apparently inevitable.
