NUMBER 4
DOOLY VOTER SHOWS
UP HUDSON’S RECORD
XPLA1NS HOW HUDSON VOTED
ON WHISKEY AND RAILROAD
QUESTIONS WHILE IN SENATE.'
RAILROAD HEADS MAY NOT
ACCEPT PROPOSAL OF WILSON
The voters of Dooly county are be
coming thoroughly interested in the
claims of many of the candidates for
places of trust, especially the" office
of Congressman for thii district.
Some one asked the question the
other day, “Why does Col. Tbos. G.
Hudson wish to oust Charley Crisp?”
We dim'tknow whether the question
was. answered satisfactorily or not,
but the reason is quite plain, and that
is that Mr. Hudson wants the job
himself.
You see, Mr. Hudson, through a
gentle hint from an investigating
committee saw he would have to quit
the office of commissioner of agricul
ture. He then proceeded to make
.good, connections with the corpora
tions he had been employed <0 watch
,, and noth whom he had formed very
\friendly relations and went into the
guano business. When that played
. out as all his jobs have, he decided to
run for governor. When matters of
record began to be discussed he
proqjptiy and sensibly, as everybody
thought, quit the race, for Mr. Hud
son had made some records it would
not do to air in a state-wide cam
paign. So finally being a big hearted
office loving man, he decided he would
go to Congress, and that is where he
let his foot slip again. He figured
that during the spring and early sum
mer he could go over the district and
see the voters one at a time. This
took much time and money, but he
l had lots of time and the money came
from somewhere He figured further
more that with his winning smile,
cordial handshake, and exceedingly
friem|iy slap on the shoulder the wool
hat boys of the district could’not pos-
. esibly resist him. Also he was made
up to play the part. A well worn hat
jh with dusty shoes and a week’s growth
of beard made him look the old fash
ioned candidate.
■ This may sound silly but if you will
recall Ms visit y^u will admit it is
the plain truth. But it didn’t work
fqgnour people have learned that a
man/like Mr. Hudson can’t fall in
■love with them in one night so

Hle’s only salvation.

e’s interests? A bill was before the

The presidents yesterday heard
from Mr. Wilson at the White House
a strong personal plea for concessions
to avoid a tic-up at a time when he
said “every ounce .of American' eher-
gy has to be mobilized to

emerge out of the European war.”

There is no truer indeg to the pro
gress and development of a town or
:ommunity than a good and progres-
jve system ofschools. The tittle town
Tippettvillo is laying the founda-
for growth and improvement by
effort to raise the standard of her
pi. With the opening of the fall
which is set for Monday, Oct
ippettville will have a school to
iny town Of twice her size
lint with - pride. Mr. T. W. Tlp-
has for several years served
as superintendent of the schpol, has
yielded to the insistent demand of Ms
patrons to remain in charge of the
work another term in .order til per-'
feet the system wMch he haa already
striven so hard to improve. A splen
did corps of- assistant teachers' has
been employed—four in number.
They are Miss Reba Calhoun, of
Americus; Mbs Bessie Tippett and
Mrs,. J. E. Holt, of Tippettvitie, and
Miss Mary Lang, of Parkesley, Va.
Miss Lang will have charge of the
music and expression departments.
She is said to be quite efficient in
both, and the school authorities con
sider themselves fortunate to have
secured her services.
Although - the school building has
undergone many improvements' with
in the last few years others have been
planned for the near future, among
which'is a large rooin to givff ample
accomodations to the increased at
tendance which is anticipated. The
school had an enrollment last year
of l36, pupils and with-the increased
interest and better facilities, there is
every reason'to-believe that the pat
ronage will be more extensive for the
approaching term. As trustees the
school has three of the most compe
tent men in the community: Messrs.
W. S. Peacock and G. H. Tippett
have been doing good work in the past
for the school and Dr. Holt, the new
ly elected member is giving new im
petus to it by his active interest. As
a sort of advertisement for the school
and to give the public an idea of the
scope of its work, an attractive cata
logue will be issued sometime before
the beginning of the fall term. The
Tippettvitie school Is a part of the
Dooly system and its increased effi
ciency is a matter of real concern to
all who are interested in a higher
standard of schools for the county.

Washington, Aug.-LInvestigation
of complaints that a combination in
violation of the Sherman anti-trust
law is responsible for the low price of
cottonseed throughout the eouth, has
been begun by the department of
justice.
The complaints came principally
from Texas and Alabama, but the
whole Southin involved and the in
vestigation will not be confined to
these two states. The Information
given the department was general in
character and no facte were furnished
to show who is supposed to be reipon
tible for the low price of seed. Cot
ton growers wrote the department,
however, expressing their conviction
that the depression in price is dim to
artificial conditions.
The department made a thorough
investigation of similar complaints
ebout a year ago and collected much
information tending to show that cot
tonseed prices had been depressed un
naturally. This information was con
vincing on its face but was not deem
ed weighty enough to warrant court
proceedings and no action was taken.
The information then obtained, how
ever will be used in the present inves
tigation.
