Kin* ’Tino surely pulled a bone
When he thought that he’d enlarge his
throne;
The Greeks now find that they’d been
wiser
■ad they sent their King to join the
Kaiser.
Last week’s primary broke many a
slate
Here In good old Georgia State.
Whilo the 13th was nice and balmy,
*Twaa a most unlucky day Tor Tom
mie.
Jim Nevln said he’d sweep the deck—
Wouldn’t give CHIT a smell, by heck I
But he found out, when the nows
camo later,
■e wasn’t so much a prognosticator.
Bedinger Baylor, of Sans Souci Caa-
tlo,
Didn't put up very much of a wrastle,
But the chances are he feels just as
well
As some who have bigger stories to
tell.
RIevons take the place of nines—
The diamond now no longer shines;
"Como ’leven!’’ is today tho call,
And "foot” goes to tho hoad as ball.
Straw lids are now clear out of style,
But we’ll wear ours for yet a while;
As long as Sol shines down so hot,
We’ll stick to straw—stylish or not.
Instead of staging a come-back, as
he expected, King Constantine can
■ow go away back.
Well, just as wo told you, the 13th
was a mighty unlucky day for the
■ardwlck-Blalock combination.
If tho Mohammedans should start
a "holy war," it would bo tho most
wholly unholy war tho world hns ever
aeen.
U the election had been a week
mrtnor off, tne ianaslido for Walker
and Brown would have been nearly
twice as large.
"CliiT, the Giant-Killer,’’ as Tom
Hardwick called him two years ago,
seems to bo able to knock out some
thing besides giants.
Greece trlod to play a slippery
game, and has fallen into the pit her
self. Tho trouble is that all the rest
of the world must suffer for her folly.
Vardamnn, Blouse and Hardwick—
tho toboggan was well greased for
them,but they didn’t find any feather
beds to break tho force of their fall
when they hit the bottom.
It is estimated that the new tariff
an sugar imposed by the Republican
administration will cost the people of
the United States an increase of over
$150,000,000 a year. Of this the
Government will got about one-third,
and the rest will go into tho pockets
of tile Sugar Barons.
Polk gave good majorities to her
next-door neighbors—Hon. M. L.
Johnson, of Bartow, for Railroad
Commissioner,and llon.Harper Ham
ilton, of Floyd, for Judge of Court
of Appeals. Their many friends re
gret that they missed election.
With the good poople of the 38th
senatorial district we rejoice that
Col. W. W. Mundy, of Cedartown,has
been unanimously elected Senator
from that district. He has twice serv
ed Polk county as Representative in
tho House, and his election Wednes
day will give him a second term in
the Senate. Each time he has had no
opposition. His splendid legislative
record qualifies him as an aspirant to
the position of President of the Sen
ate.—Rome News.
Georgia Needs Him.
Georgia needs men—able, far-see
ing, red-blooded men—men of educa
tion, character and energy.
Georgia needs men who can and
will do things for her advancement
and upbuilding—men of progressive
ideas—men who are workers as well
as planners.
The value of such men to any
states is beyond estimate, and they
arc the men whom Georgia should de
light to honor and upon whom she
should put the responsibility of con
ducting her affairs.
Georgia needs men at the helm of
state who are big enough not to play
politics with every question that
comes before them, but who want to
do what is right because it is right.
Polk presents such a man to the
slate of Georgia in the person of Hon.
W. W. Mundy,of Cedartown, who has
just been unanimously elected as
Senator from the 38th District and
who will be a candidate for the pres
idency of the Senate. . He has the
strength of character,the wide knowl
edge of men and affairs, the energy
and determination to make him suc
cessful In everything he undertakes
and he has most ably filled every po
sition of trust and responsibility that
has come to him.
A self-made man, he worked his
way through college, where he took
high standing in his studies and as an
athlete; studied law under the late
Col. Ivy F. Thompson, of Cedartown,
and quickly rose to a place of emin
ence at the bar, being recognized to
day as one of Georgia's ablest law
yers ;was elected to the Senate to fill
the unexpired term of his lamented
brother, Hon. I. F. Mundy; has serv
ed two terms in the House, whe-e he
was a member of the most important
committees and where ho was recog
nized as a real statesman and as one
of the safest leaders; and now he
goes to the Senate by the unanimous
vote of his home county,whose people
arc anxious that higher honors shall
come to him.
As President of tho Senate, Mr.
Mundy would be in a position to give
tho state better service than other
wise, and to give the service that
Georgia so greatly needs. Capnhlc
and fearless, fair-minded and cour
teous, a close student of the affairs of
state, he would make an ideal pre
siding officer for Georgia's highest
legislative body. We fool that tho
man and tho hour have met, and it is
with the most perfect confidence in
both his worthiness and his success
that we nominate Hon. W. W. Mundy,
of the county of Polk, for the Presi
dency of the Senate.

said he should do.
NEAR-EAST WAR
England Rushing Ships
to Constantinople.
The World War has had a sobering
effect on our Jingoes, and men who
a few years ago would have wanted
to rush into war (most of them by
proxy, of course,) because American
citizens are killed in Mexico or the
Near East, are now keeping discreet
ly silent.
It is indeed a grave situation that
exists in the troublous regions known
as the Near East. King Constantine,
of Greece, thought to re-establish
himself in favor by regaining some of
his country’s former Asiatic possess
ions, believing the Turks were too
much weakened by the World War to
withstand him. He reckoned wrong,
however, for the Turkish Nationalists
have rallied in great force and re
captured Smyrna with horrible butch
ery. Emboldened by their success,
they arc demanding the return of
other former Turkish territory. Many
Americans have lost their lives or
have been mistreated by the Turks.
England and Italy are rushing
ships and troops to Constantinople to
protect Christian lives and property,
and have warned the Turkish laaders
not to invade the neutral zone fixed
by the Allies after the World War.
Unlesa the world wanta to Bee a
‘holy war" started by Mohammedan
against all Christian nations. It is
necessary that the Turkish advance
be promptly stopped. Germany
tried to instigate such a war,but fail
ed. Tho seed Bown then, However,
has done some sprouting since.
A more immediate danger is that
the Russian hordes unite with the
Turks, in which event Europe will a-
gain seethe with war.

Brown Thanks friend*.
Following his victory for re-elec
tion as Commissioner of Agriculture,
Hon. J. J. Brown issued a statement
Friday oxpressing his appreciation of
the support and loyalty of his friends
throughout the state. His victory was
as sweeping as It was well deserved.
Commissioner Brown's statement is
as follows;
Mr. Brown's Card.
I take this opportunity of thanking
my friends throughout the state for
the loyal support they gavo me in the
primary of Sept. 13. Words fail me
when it comes to expressing my pro
found gratitude to those loyal friends
(many of whom made personal sacri
fices) to the end that the great cause
for which I stand-fair play, truth
and justice—might prevnil.
The issuos botween myself and my
opponent in the recent campnign
wore of more vital importance to the
farmers of Georgia than any previous
campnign, to my knowledge. For
many months scheming, dcslgning.po
liticnl assassins have made false char
ges against my administration; I had
been assaulted In both branches of
the General Assebly by disgruntled
politicians, only to be vindicated un
animously by the House and the Sen
ate, and finally these false charges
and accusations were carried into
tho campaign, and today I stand vin
dicated before the people of this
great state by an overwheming ma
jority.
As the smoke of battle clears away,
I will continue the duties of the of
fice of Commissioner of Agriculture
with envy In my heart to none, and
with the distinct knowledge that for
another term I will be Commissioner
of Agriculture of all the peoplte;
and whatever bitter things may havr
been said in the heat of passion will
be forgotten. The height of my am
bition will be to give the people of
Georgia tho very best service there is
in me—to the end that we may go on
to a completion of the rebuilding of
agricultural Georgia in the critical
days of reconstruction after the
world's greatest war, ao as to fix the
distribution of the farm products of
our state on a basis that will give to
the farmers of Georgia their cost of
production, plus a reasonable profit—
thereby enabling them to pay their
honest debts and have a surplus with
which to build their rural homes.coun-
try schools and churches, as well as
better roads; and, at the same time,
make our towns and cities more pros
perous.
As a closing word,permit me to take
this method of expressing my sincere
appreciation, and thanking each and
everyone of my thousands of friends
who have offered their congrntula
tions over our wonderful victory.
With hatred toward none, and an
ever-abiding love for those friends
who so nobly stood by me.
J. J. BROWN.
