The county commissioners at thlilr meeting this week promised to do all In their power—but there, too; the statement was made that the-mbt will not be able, likely, to 4} k* much m was done In the streak times of emergency last winter. So—It Is up to the folks! Hands of families and others who ordjtaartly look after the fuel purchases are urg ed. by the president, the fuel admin- Isthator of the nation, state, and city, to arrange tor their coal at once and have It delivered at the earliest pos sible momenL If they have to do tae hauling themselves. The coal supply Is exceedingly slim now and will be much thinner; there is going to be difficulty In gab ting a normal supply of coal; there la being even now experienced the great est trouble In getting coal orders fill ed and the goods delivered, It behooves, therefore, the citizens to look about and Inquire around and make special effort to engage and have delivered at once, on the first day poMlble a liberal supply of cord wood—green wood that will season for the winter, or dry wood that can be corded and kept With the heavy work on the farms, the already diminished supply of wood, the scarcity of labor, the high prices of other farm products—It la hard to get even a few loads of wood now—and If arrangements are made for the wood to be delivered whenever the farmers can slip In a few days at this work, there Is going to be suffering. The municipal wod yard Is to. do all In Its power to provide against the actual needs of the poor and of the unlucky ones who may next winter got caught— But the responsibility Is on the cit izen to contract for his coal now and to contract for a larger amount wood than he ever bought before—to use as a substitute for much coal— and then work like the mischief to get both coal and wood delivered at the first possible moment. Only In this way will suffering be prevented for the coming winter. 1 Vould Call on Opponents of The - President’s Choke for Senate in Georgia to Withdraw From the Race (8peclal to the Banner.)

Dear Sir: I notice In today's Con stitution wbero tbo Democratic con vention of Mlohlgan bad nominated Hon. Henry Ford for the United States Senate, and had requested the RepnbUean party to tender to him the nomination from hta party. In so doing the state ot Michigan realises the necessity of aroldlng a political contest for a seat la tbs united States Sonata white we are engaged In -war with a foreign nation. It was a patriotic act on the part ot the loyal Democrats of Michigan. They were evidently seeking n man both parties could unite upon who would be acceptable to President Wilson and give to tbo Administration hta un qualified endorsement and support. It ta indeed deplorable that Georgia ta falling so tar short ta this respect There should bff no opposition to oar representative* in Congiass wtw* they have stood loyally and fearless ly in defense of tae Administration and Its measures. We should there fore, only have opposition against those who have fought the Adminis tration and the Interest of oar whole nation. We, as a united people. In the In terest of democracy, freedom and Justice should have one men U the field aa onr standard bearer in order that bo may represent tbo tree and loyal citizens ot our state that are standing behind onr matchless lead er In this great struggle for a world wide peace and the freedom of man kind. In the spirit of the state of Michi gan we should approach tho coming primary and eliminate all ot the tdent prefers, and nominate him to represent us In the United States Senate, that we may contribute our part in winning this war, and forever banish from the face of the earth the hdlllsh principles of the "Beast ot Berlin" and those allied with him. Our Junior Senator, Thomas W. Hardwick, In my opinion, has need all tha means within his power to block and defeat tho Administration and Its measures. He seems to glory In taking n stand against the President and all btlla looking to the enlarg* meat of oar army and navy and their equipment. Hta utterances are not becoming, a representative of tha people of Georgia as United States senator. The dally press owes It to tbo citi zens of Georgia to urge all candidates who are now opposing Thomas W. Hardwick to retire from tha field and let the men who ta the choice of President Wilson make this race Hon. Schley Howard should bo urged to retire from tbo race in the spirit that was manifested by Representa tive Lever, of South Carolina, who in response to the President’s request said: "As s loyal cltlsen trying serve my country as best I may, I am today acceding to roar request by announcing my candidacy for re-elect ion to the House of Representatives. If the Atlanta dally papers will taka the stand to eliminate nil op position to Hardwick, leaving the President's choice in the field, all other opposing candidates, in my opte ion, will retire. We should bo willing to respond to the President's requests In nil things that pertain to the war and Its soocaesful termination for us and our allied armies. Tho first and.only thing that wo should seek to know la: what tha President wants, and than give It to him regardless of tho sacri fice or tbo coat L therefore, feel that It ha wants tha Hon. W. J. Harris placed In the United State* Senate, %«, as Geor gians, should do this much to strength- on tho President ta these atrenaooe times of war. Too should urge ull of the candidates to come together and have a reckoning and sign np n solemn agreement to abide by Presi dent Wilson’s decision as to who shall make the fight in Georgia against tha man who baa proven to be such a dangerous foe end menace to th* Administration and the nation. We, aa Georgians, should assure the President of our strong support, that ho baa earn ad by hta unsurpassed service daring hta administration- Yours vary truly, (signed) JOHN B.
