Navy, flew the first seaplane across the Atlantic in 1919, he wrote his name in history. He is now on another assignment, in a Navy plane flight from New York to Rio de Janeiro, which if completed will be a record trip of 8,400 miles. Lieut. Hinton with a pilot, a me chanic. one newspaper man and a Brazilian passenger, left New York August 17th and is expected to reach Rio September 7th, in time for the opening of the Brazilian Centennial Exposition. All down the Atlantic coast Hin ton’s craft, the Sampaio Correia, en countered heavy head winds and was often turned back. This is one of the biggest seaplanes yet built by Uncle Sam. The pictures show Hinton (in dicated by arrow), and crew. Insert shows seaplane at start of the flight, iust before raising from the water- Kiting. Giorge Carswell, a member of the Georgia Legislature, and one of the best posted members of that body, says that the State Is over Two Mil lion Dollars in Debt and has been kiting her large debts. Kiting is a dangerous practice. Kiting has driven countless banks and bankers upon the rocks. Kiting has been the cause of the bankruptcy of many merchants. Kiting in busi ness is the same thing as the drown ing man grabbing at straws. The drowning business man knows he is sinking, and he resorts to .this prac tice to prolong and postpone the dis aster in the hope that something will huppen to prevent it. When Hardwick was elected Gov ernor the indebtedness of the State at the time of his inauguration was $2,207,580.21. When ho was a candidate for Gov ernor, he knew that the State was badly in debt, and he was elected Governor on a platform to retire that indebtedness by reducing expenses. As soon ns he took office in June of last year he proceeded to retire this indebtedness of the State, not by reducing expenses, not by economy, not by reducing appropriations, but how did he go about it? He had the Legislature pass a law selling the income of the State's railroad for five years in advance, and the amount received for the use of the State’s railroad for the next five years was $2,21)7,580.21. Ho took this amount of money and paid what the State owed, nnd when his crowd gets out and says that they have retired the State’s deficit they are lying, they know they arc lying, and are doing it to deceive the voters of the State of Georgia. The State will get no income from its railroad for five years, and is short that amount of revenue. In addition to this ho reduced the expenses of the Stnte to a still fur ther extent by lousing the Governor’s mansion for n period of fifty years, and in addition to this method of re ducing expenses he had them put a tax of one cent n gallon on gasoline. When he was a candidate for office he did not toll tho voters that ho was going to have a tax of one cent put on gasoline, he did not tell them he was going Ic i 'l the State's railroad for five years, he did not tell them he was going to lease the house in At lanta that tho tax payers had bought for him to live in. He told them he wns going to re duce expenses nnd also reduce ap propriations. Ho told them ho was going tc sweep out nil the useless officers, ab olish useless offices, and put the State back on a basis of economy, Ho did not do one single thing he promised to do. Just ns soon ns he had the Legis lature play all the havoc set out a- bovo he proceeded to visit all the Stnte Fairs and make speeches to tho Reubens who were paying their good money to see tho sights and exhibits in snid fairs. Hardwick was the biggest exh bil in all the fairs. He was drawing tho salary to be Governor of Georgia when he ought to hnvo been drawing it from the Fair Association. While exhibiting himself at the county fairs he proceeded to advocate an income tax. He did not get en ough money by selling the State’s railroad for five years, by putting a tax on gasoline, by leasing the Gov ernor’s mansion fifty years, and had to have more money, hence an income tax. Yes, Carswell is right. Hardwick is kiting the finances of the State of Georgia. In a speech at Columbus the other day he told the people to lot by-gones be by-goncs and think of the future. That is indeed a nice doctrine for him to preach. After a man’s throat has been cut and all of his blood drained from him, I suppose he would be perfectly willing to let by-gones be by-gones. Hardwick has had the best oppor tunity to do something for the com mon people of Georgia that any Gov ernor has ever had. The State was in distress. It was in need of some real statesmanship nnd leadership. The tax-payors of the state were being ground to death. The people wanted relief. They demanded that waste and extravagance be stopped, and that economy be exercised instead. Hard wick knew the temper of the people of Georgia. He took advantage of it. He went before them with the very promises that they wanted. Just like a sewing machine agent or the slick stock-salesman, he made tho voters believe that he knew what they nee ded and that he would give it to them. He has given it to them—in the neck.—Colquitt Sun. Perfect Service Perhaps no busines is call ed upon to render - ' a more perfect service than ours.
