" THE PEOPLE ARE ENTITLED TO KNOW.
&My Rivers, candidate for the office of governor,
;xfi s scheduled to speak in Athens tonight. From time
"to time we have editorially asked a number of ques
%. of Mr. Rivers, all of which are of material inter
. est to the people; questions that no candidate for the
~slce of governor can afford to sidestep or re
<% answer. So far, Mr. Rivers has refused or
~ failed to answer them. They are questions requir
ing answers that are of vital importance to the peo
& people are entitled to be informed as to the
"’% tion occupied by Mr. Rivers and no one else
qm fbe permitted to answer for him. Lxstead of
. dealing in generalities, as has been the policy of Mr.
" Rivers during this cawpaign, the time has arrived
~ when the people expect and they have a right to
- demand of him an open, frank and honest declara
. tion a 8 to how he stands on the important issues in
&x ved in the present campaign. In Macon, Mon
. day, Mr. Rivers, you are quoted as saying: *“Of
* eourse I am a valid Democrat, both state and nation-
L %hy camouflage, Mr. Rivers? Make your posi
z%n elear on the presidential candidates by speaking
'~ the language of the masses of the people and tell
~ them face to face whether you are going to vote an.d
_ support Alfred E. Smith, nominee of the democratic
* party or are you geing to vote and support Hoover,
‘ g:‘e republican nominee,
. Since you have been lecturing for the Ku Klux
" Klan in this state how many lectures have you deliv
" ered since the first of January this year? In the
lodge rooms and in the secrecy of the Imperial Pal
¥ ace, have you not stated to the members of the Ku
Klux Klan that as soon as the state primary, as of
September 12, was over that you would come out in
. the open and support Mr. Hoover, the republican
" nominee for the presidency of the United States? Do
you deny having been, or now being, a member of the
~ Ku Klux Klan? |
J You state in yonr speeches, Mr. Rivers, that if
' elected Governor you will reduce the 80 departments
at the capitol t¢ fourteen. The people would like to
.~ know Mr. Rivers just what departments you have in
" mind to abolish; the number of people now employed
and the amount such reduction in departments would
save to the state in dollars and cents. These are mat
ters of vital importance to the people, Mr. Rivers,
and they are entitled to know and to receive the in
. formation direct ffom your lips.
. "The people are entitled to know, Mr. Rivers, from
what source you are receiving cortributions. Is it
“true, Mr. Rivers, that the contractors for highway
it ruction; machinery and road material conc¢erns
“are contributing to the expense of your campaign?
~ Geme clean, with the people, Mr. Rivers, place your
%fifl"fin the table and play the game openly &nd

®.. o THE SHEEFP INDUSTRY.
+ A recent annual report of stotistical data of the
sheep industry by the United States Department of
Agriculture shows the South to be far behind other
- gections cf the country in wool production. The sheep
industry has been neglected in the South, and especi
~ ally is.this condition true insofar as Georgia is con
cerned. Much cf the shortage in the South is due to
~ the sheep killing dog, scrub stock, and a lack of
' ”lere‘é% cn the part of our people. The percentage of
‘W} Eroduction in this secticn of the country, in com
_parison with states further north is very low. As a
)atter of fact, the South should lead all other sec
- tigns, With a climate affording all-year-round graz
: in;,,shpep can be raised more economically here than
~ln other sections where the winters are long and
- devastating to pastures. The Southern Ruralist de
; es the condition to which the lack of interest on
Qe.pfi',t of our people is given as a reason for the low
i wfentege. It says: ' :
| lgE the United States as a whole._the average
~ weight per fleece is 7.8 pounds. For the Southern
tatesthe average is around 5.5 pounds. Taking the
. States of the Southeast, Maryland leads with an aver
age of 6.1 pounds, and Florida goes foot with an aver
_Aage g‘?only 3 pounds. Taking the states from Ken
- tue mvest to Oklahoma and Texas, the average is
o p@l'ds. In that section Texas stands at the head
‘thoghst and Ml.\‘fiissipl‘)i at the bottom. While it
- may heéver be possible for the South to equal the
_ heavy slips of the state farther north where sheep of
the long woql types are produced, yet as the statistics
: ,vg‘_'hu-ve before us indicate, there is abundant room
fori ovement. With an average here in the South
e 5t of 5.1 pounds per fleece, certainly North Caro
~ lina, uth Carolina, Georgia and Florida with yields
-of below 5 pounds, can pull up to higher positions.
ffifith an average yield in the western end of the
§Rt states of 7.4 pounds, it is undoutbedly pos
%‘:f‘ e for Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi,
gff“ fsland.l‘“mim““’ all of which states show
odfi ess than 5 pounds per fleece, to pull on up
‘ ards the more becoming average.”
.4 There is much truth in the foregoing statements
he, Ruralist. If our people would raise the best
* breeds of sheep and give to them the proper car;e
% gere s no reason why the sheep raised in this sec.
~ Hon of the country should not be just as good, if not
_ Better, than those raised imother sections of the coun
%fif& Fy. Scientific investigations have made it possible
-1o control diseases that have caused much' losses to
aisers. Every farmer in Georgia should raj
REFH A A 8 raise
F heep, if not for the market, certainly he should raise
_enough for his own consumption. The industry is one
| that is lagging in the South; it offers opportunities
" for money making that should be accepted by our
:;g;;& prand entered into wholeheartedly and syste
& ;“}-‘va if we expect to develop an industry 'tkhat
j:_: &} 1g thousands of dollars into our pockets that
4 ‘;,l-‘", has been neglected,

DID IT EVER OCCUR
TO YOU?
A Liitle of Everything and No
Much of Anything.
By HUGH ROWE
¢ The Federation of Laber of
Atlanta has endorsed the can
didacy of Luther Still for re
election to a membership in
the general assembly from
Fulton county.
The action of this organization
was deserving., Mr. Still has bgen
a true and tried friend to o gan
ized labor for many years. H» has
not only devoted his personal aid
to the cause of labor, but he has
rendered to it valuable service in
securing legislation favorable to
the labor element. There should
be no doubt about his re-elcction.
Not only does he deserve the
votes and support of the labor
organizations, but that of the
business men, bankers and indus
trial interests. The writer has
known Mr. Still for many years
and a man of finer character and
integrity would be hard to find
in the state.
Arn{ irritable husband is as
ncar a brute as human can
grow. As an illustration, two
advertisements appearing in a
Michigan mewspaper supports |
the conclusicn. In our helief
the wife has the edge on the
husband—certainly she shows
grit and nerve and proves
that she stands up for her
rights, regardless of the b'uffs
offered. The advertisements |
read: ‘
“NOTICE—My wife having left
my bed and hoard, T will not be
responsible for any debt con
tracted by anyone but myvsell. i
THAN WILDER.
NOTICE—I am still capab’e of
paying my own bills and ask no
aid whatever from Than Wildesr,
and will not he responsible for
debts contracted by anyone other
than myself.

Some issue vituperations of il

from The Hartwell Sun:
~ Arrangements for the annual

was anpounced by J. A, Rountree,
}D"rector General. of the grganiza
tion. The meeting has been call

l Plans will be digscussed at the
convention for completiy,. of tte

iwhich extends from Washington
to San Diego, Cal.
The convention was ipvited to
meet in Atlanta by the Chamber
of Commerce and other civic or

' other details will be in charge
of the chamber.
Delegates are expecied from 17
atates traversed by the highway,
‘including Virginia, Norti and

Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona
and California.
Invitations to attend will he senrt
so the governors and state high
jway comm’ssioners of each of
these states a numher of whom
have already tentatively arranged
to be present.
The Bapkhead highway is rec
ognized as one of the outstanding
frans-continental joutes wotable
by reason that it can be traversed
at any season. The federal gov
ernment has already recognized
its importance by reporting it has
one of the great military routes
of the country, after sending a con
voy across the continent to make
a complete survey, The distance
covered by the highway is 3,690
miles, of which over 75 per cent is
completed and hard-surfaced.
There is a gap in this highway
from Danieisville to Royston that
' noth'ng has been done towards
completing and this paralizes the
ugefulness of the ehtire line.

ton Friday, October 12th ac
cording to announcement by Mrs.
A. C, Skelton, President, of Hart
well, and Mrs. D. T. Barnes, Presi
dent of the Royston Woman's
Club,
Here'ss a contest in which the
windows will receive more for one
stalk of cotton than the average
farmer can get at present prices
for a 30 acre crop of cotton. Thig
contest will be held by the Sears-
Roebuck Agr!cultural Foundation
co-gperating with the National
Fertilizer Association and has heen
endorsed by the leading agricul
tural agencies and organizations.
A prize of SISOO kas been promised
for the best single stalk of cotton
raised in the entire cotton belt this
year. Such a prize should result
in the enrollment in this contest
of every cotton farme:r in the
South. |
The Hartwell Sun says. Cotton
gins in the various <ections of Hart
county will shortly all be in shape
for what promises to be the best
vear in many past.
Hart county, barring boll weevils
and other hard luck, will produce
the bi.ggesf"‘érop since 1924, when
we totaled some 15,000 bales.
Some estimate the 1928 crop will
be around 18,000 bales. Others
put the figures higher, and some
lower, as usual. Hart’s peak pro
duction was 24,000 bales back in
around 1912
There are a number of good gins
in ‘the county, and The Sun cer
tainly hopes they will all have a
great season.
‘We have the boll weevil among
us and this is the danger month.
The Commerce News says this
about weevil infestation in Frank
lin county:
“Twenty six hundred and seven
ty boll weevils in one bottle were
on d'splay here Saturday. If ell
fields were as infestad as was one
in Frapklin county from which
these were taken, bumper crops
woltd be a myth.
Every farmer in this section
should order vetch right away.
Prof. Westbrooks says:
“Orderg for vetch and Austrian
pea seed should be in as soon as
possible. Some have beeh noid
ing up the order because of not
having -the money and want to
wait until cotton has started to
move. In this connection we must
bear in mind a few important
po'nts about these winter crops.
One of these things being that it
is highly important to get them
in as early as possible after the
middle of September.
In casd we have a good season
just after the middle of Septem
per it would be fine if we had
the seed on hand to put in the
ground when it was right. On the
other hand we may have a dry
September, but it pays to play
safe and have the seed on hand
when it comes time to sow them,
“Another thing: Some cheaper
seed have been offered for sale
than those which we are buying
and some are asking about these
seed. This is a matter which is
up to you, but in most every case
the writer hag bought seed on the
basis of price alpne he has had
cause to regret it. We believe
we have selected the best seed
which can be had and are abso
lyiely safe in buying them. We
do not mean to say that these
seed which are being sold cheaper
at a price are not good seed, but
we have full confidence in the
seed which are being offered you.

French Envoy Sees
U. S. Verging On Era
Of Greatest Prosperity
PARIS — (AP) — The United
States today, compared with 35
'years ago, is a new country, Paul
Claudel, French ambasador to the
United States told an interviewer
of a French newspaper.
“The United States possesses]
the finest architecture in the|
world. Their skysctaners, whichl
in days gone by may have appear-i
ed ugly, have been perfected in
line and structure. The building
in tiers gives an aspect of mag
nificence.
“America is entering on a pe
riod of great prosperity. Theve is
in that country more comfort,
more dignity than el.ewhere. The
standard of living is superior to
what it is in Europe. Workers
earn a great deal of money and
live well. In France we work all
our lives and at last are able te
possess our own house. In Am
erica they begin by naving their
house and paying for it after
wards by working. The method is
far more logical.”
Speaking of his journev in the
southern states to districts ~of
French origin, the French ambas
sador said:
“It was an extremely interest
ing journey. It was a joy for
many to see the representative of
France, the country which they
have never ceased to love, and
whose language, especially in Lou
isiana, they speak well. It is to
the French clergy that we owe
this fidelity to France.
“Further, a great part of this

I*Lealgue Will Consider
l Hughes For Tribunal
GENEVA — (A P) — Former
Recretary Charles E. Hughes’ can
didacy for a judgeship on the
world court has given the United
States a special interest in the
Ninth Assembly of the League
meeting here September &
Th nominating groups 3 many
countries have proposed th%Jname\
of Mr. Hughes to succeed Judge
John Bassett Moore, another Am
erican, who resigned.
To be successful Mr. Hughes
must have a majority vote both in
the League assembly and the
Leage council. Like the college
of cardinals when choosing a pope
the council is expected by custom
to sit “incommunicado”, while vot
ing. It will probably meet for the
purpose of election at the same
time as the assembly but with
cosed doors and with an assur
rance that no communication will
e made to it during its delibera
tions concerning the result of the
balloting in the assembly.
After Mr. Hughes, President
Walter Simons o fthe Supreme
Court of Germany, was the candi-~
aate most favored by the nominat
ing groups.
The American senate voted to
adhere to the statutes of the in
ternational court but laid down
five conditions. The state mem
bers of the tribuna! found them
selves unable to accept the fifth
condition which has to do with the
right of the court to deliver advis
ory opinions.
Article X of the court statutes
says that the candidate obtaining
an absolute majosity of votes in
the assem®bly and in the council
shall be elected. If no result is
reached by the first balloting,
there is held a joint conference
consisting of six members, three
appointed by the council and three
by the assembly.
Recent history of the court has
shown that its most infportant
function has been that of.deliver
ing advisory opinions on legal
questions requested by the council.
These opinions often prove of
great importance in European pol
itics tecause they serve as the
basis for the settlement of inter
national controversies.
Under Article 35 the services of
the court are available to non
signatory nations, such as the
United States, which- are mention
el in the annex of the League co
venant.
There will be 20 altars in the
new Abbey church of the Bene
dictine Order at Woolhampton,
Berks, England, when it is com
pleted. It will be known as Dousi
Abbey.
