It is announced that Tom Watson
will make the race for congress in the
Tenth as an anti-Catholic. Tom could
run as almost any kind of an anti.
He has been “agin” so many things it
seems it would be difficult for him to
decide upon any sepecific, pet antipa
thy for his political hobby horse.
Dooly county must begin to get
tuned up for the next bond campaign
which now is not far distant. Dooly’s
record in the various campaigns that
have previously been launched is one
to be proud of and she cannot afford
to fail short in the approaching one.
It is going to take strong active co
operation on the part of our people
to carry it through.
methods to whlfch some of the candi
dates and their supporters are resort
ing. Demonstrations of this kind are
quite suffipient to make a high-mind
ed, worthy man averse to entering the
political arena, which means if it is
continued' that our most important
offices trill be filled with men who
cannot fill them with honor and dis
tinction.
REDUCING PLEASURE DRIVING
And now comes the request that pa
triotic people discontinue the use of
automobiles and other gas burning ve.
hides for Sunday and pleasure riding
generally. As yet this comes only as
an appeal to the patriotism of the peo
ple in the section affected, however,
with the appeal comes the warning
that it will take the form of a man
date if the response is not such as is
desired. There are a great many peo
ple who indulge extravagantly in Sun
day motoring, to these the request
may be somewhat disconcerting, and
compliance therewith may appear
somewhat difficult upon first consid
eration, however, the effect will be
wholesome for them for economic and
other reasons. Already a goodly num
ber of auto owners, recognizing the
need for conservation of all essential
products, have reduced materially
their individual consumption of gas,
in fact nearly all conservative people
have done this, the new restriction
will not affect them greatly, and the
careless extravagant pleasure seekers
who ride simply to satisfy their rest
less desire to be moving, need the re-
straining hand of the law to inter
vene to make them realize that this
Georgia’s bug expeA, Prof. Berry
of the State Agricultural college
makes the announcement that a new
disease threatens jthe next Georgia
wheat crop and warns the planters to
treat all seed with formaldehyde and
bluestone before planting as a pre
caution against the destructive dis
ease which has recently developed in
Virginia. Dr. Berry also calls atten
tion to a disease that has attacked the
corn in Georgia which is very damag
ing in its effect. It would seem that
the time is not far distant when noth
ing can be successfully cultivated
without being doctored.
no time to have their every desire
gratified.
In our own town the gas consum
ed for pleasure riding alone amounts
to considerable and this is a very in
significant part of the great section
that is called' on for this patriotic
service. We feel confident that our
people will respond to this appeal with
the same spirit of patriotism that they
have shown in the performance of
any other service that affects the win
ning of the war, and that henceforth
motorist who drives simply for pleas
ure will be looked upon with as much
disfavor as is the Class 1-A man,
qualified for general military service
who is trying to avoid the draft.
THE SENATORIAL BROIL
Interest in the senatorial race is be
ginning to take on considerable im
petus and from all over the state the
voices of the various admirers of the
respective candidates are raised high
in the claim of victory for their sen
atorial favorites—Supporters of
Harris are stoutly adhering to their
original declaration that he will easily
come into the winning, while ndher-
ents of Howard arc equally vociferous
' In claiming the honor fbr him. And
in the mean, time Hardwick and
followers are letting it be generally
known that they expect to carry the
palms of victory when the struggle is
• over. Mr. Shaw is so busy taking the
hide off his opponents that he has very
little time to devote to indulgence in
prophecies of a future of glorious
success for himself, however, he can
be heard occasionally voicing a pre
diction of personal victory.
These extravagant claims that are
being made by the various henchmen
of the vurious aspirants have almost
reached the point of disgustingness,
it makes the suffering public feel that
they Would gladly welcome the in
atitution of some other more sane and
respectable plan by which the senn

BY EMMETT R. SHAW.
CANDIDATE FOR
U.S. SENATE
Emmett R. Shaw, Candidate for the
United States Senate, has gone before
the people proclaiming the following
issues:
I am opposed to foreign immigra
tion. I stand for complete separa
tion of church and state. I am for
raising this huge war debt after the
war is over by levying a graduated
income and inheritance tax through
a long period of years upon wealth.
Medium and small business should be
spared. Most of the weight of this
heavy burden for general prosperi
ty’s sake. Theback of toil cannot
bear this burden by indirect taxation.
The high and mighty are opposed to
all these issues. Wh’erd 'doe! Hard
wick, Harris and Howard stand?
After the war is over I am for .s
council of nations, the purpose of
which should be to declare that there
shall never be another war. For an
International Court of Tribunal where
each nation shall agree to, settle In
ternational differences. The agree
ment to be that should a nation fail to
arbitrate or settle its differences in the
International Court and should they
take up arms against a nation, tho
other nations of the compact to auto,
matically declare war upon that na
tion. This will insure civilization
for all times of peace. This will in
sure every mother as she looks into
her baby's face that its blood shall
not be poured out upon barbaric
fields of the future. Where does
Hardwick, Harris and Howard stand?
Upon these issues ! ask you the peo
ple of Georgia to pass. The other
candidates have not touched a single
one of them, these are the main issues
which will effect your prosperity and
the future of your homes and chil
dren. I will thank you for the con
sideration of. my candidacy which
you would ask for yourself or your
boy.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) EMMETT R. SHAW,
