Next Wednesday is a day of fate,
For it’s our state primary date.
Wo like to hear this kind of talk:
Cliff Walker’s going to win in a walk;
The light will be snuffed of Tommie
Hardwick,
Leaving naught but a badly charred
wick.
A lawyer-banker’s trying to rob
A real dirt farmer of a farmer's job;
The farmers, though, will vote for
Brown,
And Blalock won’t get much in town.
And now, my friends, you’ll do no er
rin’
If you stand squnre by Judge F. A.
Irwin;
If we have wise Intelligence,
We’ll keep him now right on the
bench;
Polk is for him, 'most to a man,
And will make A. L. an “also ran.”
September Morn was fair to sec,
But ubout as dry as she could be;
We’d like to see her a little spell
Have to go to toting an umbrell.
Those who wanted their August dry
Should be well satisfied, so sez I.
Wednesday half-holidays are o’er;
Open now is every store,
And you will see, if you use your
eyes,
Those get the biz who advertise.
Rally to Judge Irwin.
One of the best Superior Court
Judges in Georgia is Hon. Frank A.
Irwin, of the county of Polk,—and
Polk iB proud of him nnd his record.
He was well entitled to re-election
without opposition, but this is a free
country and there is no way of con
trolling the political ambition and
lust for power of Borne men except
by the voice of the people at the polls,
And the people of the Tallapoosa
Circuit are going to apeak in no un
certain terms next Wednesday in
favor of keeping Judgo Irwin right
on the bench, where ho so well be
longs.
Absolutely incorruptible, incapable
of the petty tricks of the demagogue,
fearless and capable, Judge Irwin
makes an ideal presiding Judge. Cour
teous to all and considerate of the
rights of even the humblest, he is
generally beloved. Czars are not
needed in this country, and there is
nothing of the czar about Judgo Ir
win, yet he transacts the business of
his courts in an orderly and expe
ditious manner. He is not a grand
stand player who tries to create the
appearance of "making it snappy,
bossing lawyers and court officers and
scolding jurors and witesscs, but
treats everyone with respect yet firm
ness.
Over 96 per rent of the votes cast
in Polk next Wednesday will be for
Judge Irwin, and he will be trium
phantly re-elected. Let us all vote
and work for him, and make his rc-
elecition ns nearly unanimous as pos
sible. He richly deserves this at the
hands especially of his neighbors and
friends in his home county.
Wednesday is the 13th, and it will
bu nn unlucky number for the Hard-
wiek-Blalock combine.
Georgia’s cotton crop is estimated
at 968,000 bales for 1922, and will
probably be less. This is only 44 per
cent of normal, and is second only to
last year’s short crop. Cotton ought
to bring a good price this season.
At last they are finding indictments
against the individual murderers in
the wholesale massacre at Herrin, Ill.
President Lewis, of the miners’ union,
straightway announces that these
men will be defended to the last.
An enlightened people would think
more of him and his organization if
they offered to help ferret out and
punish the murderers.
When Gov. Hardwick threatened
Commissioner of Agriculture J. J.
Brown with opposition to his re-elec
tion if he would not make the farm
ers’ department of the state govern
ment a part of his political machine,
he struck flint. Mr. Brown very wise
ly and properly refused, and Hard
wick pursued his usual rule or ruin
policy and carried out his threat.
Mr. Brown need not worry, however,
for what the people of Georgia do to
Hardwick & Company will be a plen
ty.
For a Square Deal.
The state of Georgia has no more
useful official than Hon. J. J. Brown,
our efficient Commissioner of Agricul
ture,—himself a “sure-enough dirt
farmer,” and who has closely studied
the needs hnd earnestly worked for
the welfare of his brother farmers.
Mr. Brown is a strong man, and
believes that the people of the state
elected him to run his office. If they
wanted some one else to do it, they
would have elected him in the first
place. And here is where his troubles
have arisen. The law places the ap
pointment of a certain number of of
ficials in his hands at fixed salaries.
He could not appoint more or pay
them more, if he wished to do so,
hut he chose to make his own appoint
ments instead of turning the appoint
ing power over to Gov. Hardwick.
The Governor took it into his head
that the whole State House belonged
to him, but he found out different
when he struck Mr. Brown. They
had been good friends, but when Mr.
Brown refused his demands he turn
ed on him und threatened him with
the Blalock candidacy. As Hardwick
and Blalock are both Atlanta lawyers,
it is natural that they should form a
combination, but it is anything but a
square deal to the farmers of Geor
gia to take the one farmer's job at
the State House away from them and
give it to a lawyer. The people of
Georgia have been good to the law
yers in the matter of electing them to
office, and rightly so, but it would
seem that this one farmers’ office
could be left to a farmer.
Another Instance in which Mr.
Brown has had trouble because he in
sisted on making his own appoint
ments was in the case of a kinsman,
who was elected to the State Senate
and wanted to do some dictating. He
couldn’t do It, nnd so proceeded to
make all manner of charges against
Mr. Brown’s administration. Mr.
Brown went before the investigating
committee and offered all the records
of his office, flatly denying "the char
ges and backing up his statements
with positive proof. The man who
had done so much chenp talking in
the Senate backed down when the
time came, and would not appear be
fore the committee. By making his
speeches in the Senate he could get
his propaganda against Mr. Brown in
to the newspapers, and that was all
he wanted. But will the people of
Georgia call that sort of a trick a
square deal?
Others have tried to dictate to Mr.
Brown—just as they have to every
Commissioner of Agriculture,— and
are always trying to put in a new
one in the hope thnt they will finally
get one they enn “run." Mr. Brown,
however, is of the old-time sturdy
Block of fnrmers, who does not pro
pose to jump through a hoop for
Gov. Hardwick nor anyone else. And
we don’t blame him, do you?
Mr. Brown stands for n square
deal for the fnrmers of Georgia—and
they certainly need it!
Beware of Diphtheria.
The State Board of Health issues n
warning thnt diphtheria has started
earlier than usual this season, nnd
that it is generally at its worst in
September. The bulletin says:
Remember that those who cannot
pay for the anti-toxin may secure it
free from the State Board of Health,
nnd those who are able to pay for it
can buy it through the Board at a
greatly reduced price. The anti-toxin
is tho only cure, but it must be used
early in the disease. Delay may
mean the death of the patient.”
We cannot see how any thinking
farmer can vote against Hon. J. J.
Brown for re-election as Commis
sioner of Agriculture. He has been
faithful to their interests, and has
used his great department solely for
their benefit. His opponent is a prom
inent Atlanta lawyer, who has just
completed eight years service as Col
lector of Internal Revenue. It would
be just ns appropriate to put a lawyer
on the one job State House office
that rightfully belongs to a farmer,as
it was for the farmers of a Western
state a few years ago to defeat a
lawyer for Judge with a farmer.
Blalock charges Commissioner of
Agriculture J. J. Brown with inef
ficiency, yet you would not have to
go out of Polk county to find men
from whom Collector of Internal Rev
enue A. O. Blalock tried to collect
money they had already paid, and
there are plenty of such cases
throughout the state. These were er
rors in his office, of course, and no
charge of dishonesty is even thought
of, but he is not in very good posi
tion to talk about “inefficiency" on
the part of faithful official like Mr.
Brown, who is devoting himself un
reservedly to his work for the farm
ers of Georgia.

POLK COUNTY SALES CO., Cedartown, Ga
Why Walker Will Win.
The reason Cliff Walker will win
for Governor in the primary next
Wednesday ta not at all complex. It
id simply because the people are for
him.
Hardwick would not have been
The DuPre Cate.
Frank DuPre paid the penalty of
is terrible crime by the hangman’s
noose Friday in Atlanta. It was an
awful expiation, but fitted the horrid
offense of which he was guilty against
the laws of God and man. To the last
elected two years ago but for swing-1 he retained the same “nerve” with
ing on to Ton: Watson’s coat-tails, I which he put his pistol in his pocket
and they have now been jerked out of and undertook a daylight robbery of
his reach. It is true that there is a jewelry store, with the determina-
get them out of the consequences of
crime, it is necessary that they have
the meaning and power of the law
impressed upon them.
All people should love to be law-
abiding, but a whoesome fear of the
law is necessary to keep many peo
ple within bounds. May the fate of
poor Frank DuPre be a convincing
lesson to all.
once in a while a mnn who was for
Walker then who will vote against
him just because Senator Watson is
now for him, but tho class who will
let Tom Watson thus control them
adversely because of their prejudice
against him is far out-numbered by
those who follow him because they
like him.
Farmers, businesa men and manu
facturers resent Hnrdwick’s attempt
to put a new system of taxation on
them, when they have all they can do
nt this time to pay their usual taxes.
Nobody likes his inconsistency, for ho
has been on both sides of the tax
equalization controversy,the Ku Klux
Klan and the dipping vat, and while
he clnims that he has gotten the
state out of the hole financially
(simply by kiting, however, and not
by actual payment of debts,he vetoes
a pension bill for Confederate sol
diers on the ground that the state has
no money!
With the farmers and laboring men
against him, he would have hard
sledding, but when it is remembered
that the good women of Georgia—
who vote this year for the first time in
a state election—are also almost
solidly against him, the reason for
predicting a landslide for Cliff Wal
ker is plainly apparent.
The peope know and like Cliff
tion to shoot his way out if anyone
interfered with him. In doing this
he killed one man and nearly killed
another.
The DuPrec case aroused general
interest because of his youth— he
was only nineteen years old—as well
as the heinous nature of h's crime,
and strong efforts were made to have
his sentence commuted. There was
no doubt, however, as to his guilt, and
the conviction was general among
thinking people that if the law were
not executed in his case it might bet
ter be repealed.
The probability is strong that if
murderers had been hung in Georgia
in the past in accordance with the
law, both DuPre and his victim would
today be alive. It is a sad fact tha:
nearly all the worst crimes of the day
are committed by young men and
women between seventeen and twen
ty nvc years of a’e. There is a reas
on for this. Comparatively few of
them are taught obedience or self-
ie»'raii't at home, ti"ir impulses are
uncontrolled, they see other law
breakers escape with little or no
punishment —so why should they not
do as they please, even if they have
to commit murder to do it?
When DuPre was captured and
brought back to Atlanta, every thug
in that city was on hand to welcome
Walker—a clean, honorable gentle-[h' 1 ” as a hero, and anything short of
man of high character, one of the the death penalty would have been a
leading Baptists of the state,—and direct encouragement to them to com-
they are going to select him as their mit more desperate crimes.

doing so, they will do one of the best
day's work in the history of the Em
pire State.

Punishment—whether by parent,
teacher or State—should always be
cool and deliberate, and for the de
finite purpose of preventing other
acts of disobedience by the individual
culprit and by others. One of the
great objections to lynch law is the
unreasoning anger in which it is exe
cuted, but there is no doubt that the
disposition of juries to condone
crimes and of Governors and Prison
Commissions to act as a super-su
preme court and set aside the ver
dicts of the courts have been an in
centive to lynch law.
Everyone sincerely sympathizes
with DuPre’s broken-hearted father,

T r ying toFool ’Em.
Ed. Standard:—Judges in Georgia
are elected by the people, and folks
arc thus likely to always get the class
of Judges that they deserve. In most
ways it is a good system, but it un
questionably gives opportunities for
political demugogues to impose on
those who are uniformed.
Most people are familiar with the
history of the slick politician who
fooled a lot of people into voting for
him for Judge on the promise that he
would see that all their names were
put in jury box! He was elected, but
his deluded followers found that he
had no power to do what he promis
ed.
We understand that a candidate
for Judge is now whispering to those
he thinks ignorant enough to believe
him that Judges are getting too much
salary,and that if he is elected he will
cut it down. The salary, of course,
is fixed by law, and a Judge cannot
change it one way or the other. This
same smooth office-hunter’s brother-
in-law is advertising that he favors a
salary for Solicitor General, but he
doesn’t say whether he wants it $5,-
000, 810,000 or $15,000. And unless
the Legislature changes the law, it
isn’t going to make any difference
whether an office-holder favors the
fee or salary system.
Don’t be fooled by foolish promises
thxi'mean nothing except to serve as
vote catchers.
Vote for a tried and true man like
Frank A. Irwin for Judge. He has
made a splendid record on the bench,
and is entitled to the support of all
good people for re-election.
Judge Irwin would not think for i
moment of stooping to such a dishon
orable thing as breaking open a bal
lot box in order to keep tab on wheth
er people voted for him .or against
him, and no man who would do such
a thing is fit to hold thehigh office of
Judge.
Vote for Judge Irwin next Wed-
nesda y- ___ —Observer.
Next Wednesday is the state pri
mary and Walker will win in a walk
and Brown will cook Blalock’s goose
