COMMISSION
JUDGE HILLYER RESISTED ALL
SPECIAL PRIVILEGES — LET
McLENDON EXPLAIN THE
ATHENS BOND DEAL.
This important office, with Us com-
plicated rilffii nit duties, requiring ho
^nueh of knowledge and experience,
ehould not be dragged Into any per
sonal quarrel or bltterneae, but the
iple aliould Kelecl the man who will
beet for Georgia and the public
tercet. In no single instance baa
lany rule or order tlmt Commissioner
lllillyer voted for ever been reversed
r set aside by any court it Is a
;ood rule to let well enough alone. !
For nearly twenty-five years Judge |
Aiillyet held no public office, except 1
(such as president of the water board, <
(trustee of colleges and much hard j
(work on church boards and convcn- !
jtlons, none of which had sabiriea. To
(call him an office holder is unjust and |
nklnd.
Commissioner lllllyer worked and |
oletl against any Increase in rall-
■oad rates on necessaries ol life—hay,
rain and packing house products ;
.ml made a long and hard fight on
hut issue, In which the commission
Igot no help from McLendon, who is
now opposiitg lllllyer.
Dm ng Governor Smith's adm'nls
ftratlon Mr. McLendon was suspended
jby the governor, and removed from
{office by the legislature afterwards,
.upon u public trial. Governor Grown,
(When he came In, might have restor
ed Mr. McLendon. If he had thought
It right. Ilut he did not do so—he up-
polnltd Mr. Gray to the vacant Me-
J.endon chair. Mr. McLendon brought
Unit lor the office against Commis
sioner Gray, and in March, ISIIO, the
supreme court, by unanimous opinion,
<1* ruled In favor of Mr. Gray's title.
•Mr. McLendon did not then run for
commission! r, when the facth were
ell fresh In the public mind.
T?". ho hrs 1-rtn known ns it

mint, comes again Into the field of
rtiil nail commission election, and In
stead of running against Mr. Gray
Tor his Hame old eliair, he picks out
Commissioner lllllyer for his adver
sary.
It would he an outrugo to lynch
Commissioner lllllyer for anything
that Governor Smith or the legisla
ture or the supreme court did.
In the hearing had before the joint
committee of the legislature, Mr.' Mc-
Iiendori, on the liyu day, finally ad
mitted that he (Mr. Mcl/cndon) had
dealt In seenritles of the Athens
street railway company—same being
one of the corporations over which,
with Its securities, the railroad com
mission It h cl jurisdiction, and this
feature of the trial was one which
execlsed a powerful effect, no doubt.
In the result.
The house of representatives and
the senate, solemnly acting under
oath, voting separately, decided
agalnHl Mr. McLendon, and the su
preme court mtnnlmously upheld what
the legislature did.
Commissioner lllllyer luid been
elected to the chair ho fills, by the
people, and by an overwhelming ma
jority and Ib well known, throughout
his long life, as successful In his own
business, and In public business con
sistent, faithful and wctl qualified.
It lias been charged that Coinmls-
tiloni r lllllyer voted for special rates
to Atlanta. This Is exactly contrary
to the truth. Commissioners Catuller
and Hlllyer both voted to make the
lower rates (tt question applicable to
ball the cities and towns in Georgia
pqually am! alike. Mr. Mcl^endon
(Voted against these amendments and
thereby defeated the redact on of
Such rates to nil Georgia points and
cities. The public minutes of the
commission show these facts. They
ere signed by Mr. McLendon him
self; hr being then chairman of the
commission
in a written opinion filed at the
time. Commissioner lllllyer said :
♦ * fit "Whatever order we make,
or is ever made on the subject,
should have Its benefits spread out
and made to apply ev>tywhere and
to the whole slate, and I would nev
er sanction any proviso a or order
wli'ch does not do so.''
After Me MeLemlou had been re

mission, upon new petitions lllqd. re
vltwed the whole matter again, amt
substantially the reductions original
ly contended for liv Commissioners

The only charge that Mr Bankston
brings against Judge Hlllyer is his j
age, am! Mr. Bankston grossly exas
pirates that. The truth is Hlllyer |
Is young enough and strong enough
for every duty. Ills health ami hah- ’

Various rumors have been
circulated recently throughout the
County to the effect that I have
selecteda running mate, or have
paired, some say with one candi
date and some say with others, to
make the race for the Legislature.
Rumors of various kinds are also
afloat as to my sty**“i>n the new

all rumors and let the people of
this County know exactly where
I stand, I publish this card.
First, I am not paired with, j
supporting nor working tor any |

what I consider a laudible ambi

in the Leerislature. I feel that
there are certain laws that should
be passed that a man of my busi
ness experience is qualified to
intelligently pass upon.
In making this race I am sub
mitting myself to the voteA of
Decatur County. If elected, I
, will be the representative of De
catur County; in other words.
! the majority of the citizens of
! Decatur County are my directors,

feelings, I will follow their direc

of Decatur County has long been
known, Personally I have al

,'iimanship— in all the little details of mechanical precision—the
newest Haynes wjuals or excels any of the previous Haynes Models
which have so firmly established Haynes charactor—and Model 22
oilers much that no previous Haynes or any other car ever has offered.
It has true beauty of design; such roominess as you never saw in any
other automobile; the very extreme of comfort, to please those who
seek luxury; and an electric starting and electrL lighting equipment of
utmost simplicity and absolutely 100 per cent efficiency.
A Starting Device That Is Not An Experiment
There were many experimental devices loudly proclaimed last year.
The Haynes Comoany said nothing about self-starters. It kept right
along building the Haynes with a crank,—and selling more cars Ilian it
could build. No one who knew Haynes history wondered at this.
The Haynes Company has never asked the public to do its experi
menting. It never offers the public a part or a feature on a Haynes
car until that part or feature has been proved right. Six months ago
the Haynes Company believed—after long experimentation — it had
solved the self-starting problem, — an electric cranking device which
would start the car every time under all conditions and never allow any
possibility of injury to the motor. But even then they waited. Waited
to be very sure. And now, after many months of testing and testing,
they are see.
Model 22 is built with this perfect electrical starting equipment,
and it is a certainty—not an experiment. Just by a simple movement
of the gear-shifting lever it starts the car every time, starts it very
quickly and quietly. Starts the car under adverse conditions which it
seems could not arise in an owner's experience.
Starter Simple and Sure—Has Never Failed
The Haynes Starter has never tailed. It cannot fail. And the
equipment is so free from complications, so very simple, that if the
wiring ever should become defective any electrician could repair it.
Neither the car. nor the motor, (starting device) nor the dynamo (light
ing device) would have to be sent back to the factory. Consider that
point carefully.
Come see the new Haynes now. We will arrange demonstration,
if desired, to suit your convenience

and Ease of Operation.

TALK TO
Statement From Only "Practical
Farmer” in Race for Commit”
tioner of Agriculture.
To the Voters, and Especially to the
Farmers, of Georgia:
Believing as I do that a candidate
for the office of commissioner o[ at
riculture should meet aud talk with
the voters, and particularly with the
farmers, that they might have oppor-
tunity to see and know him, I have
visited some eighty Georgia counties
during this campaign and met thou
sands of good citizens; and 1 shall
continue until the primary, visiting as
many counties as it is possible lor
me to reach.
J. D. PRICE,
Of Oconee, Candidate for Commia-
sloner of Agriculture.
Hut it Is Impossible for me to meet
every one, so I take this method ol
soliciting your valuable support.
Nothing 1 ever did in my life has
afforded me more pleasure or instruc
tion than traveling over the shite,
uttering and talking with you in this
cumpuign; lor it has not only made
me know and love my lellow-raen
moie than ever before, but it has
shown me the needs of the country,
and how best to deal with them.
1 am a PRACTICAL funner, and
farming is my ONLY INTEREST. I
may be pardoned for saying that I am
the only practical farmer seeking
your suffrage lor (he office of com
missioner of agriculture. Neither of
my opponents—both good men—pos
sesses this qualification which the
law demands; neither of them makes
farming his occupation.
In creating this department the leg
isiature said, In the very outset, (see
section 1790, civil code 1S95) that this
office shoud he filled by a PRACTI
CAL. FARMER, meaning one whose
business is farming and who has
made a success ol it. I quote from the
foregoing ’code section:
"Sec. 1790—Commissioner, how
elected. Said department shall be
under the control and management of
one officer, who shall he known as
the corfimisBicner of agriculture, who
Ehall b« a practical farmer, elected
by persons qualified to vote for mem
bers of the general assembly,” etc-
If I am elected to this office, it
shall he my aim not only to conform
to the letter, but to the spirit of the
law, the chief end of which, as I see
it, is to Hfford assistance and help
wherever tjie fanner needs it, wheth
er it he arj individual, a community
or the whole state. If the one-horse
farmer has a sick mule, cow or hog,
he can command me as quickly as
the man wltth a hundred, or the com
munity with (a thousand.
And, right, here, I want to tell you
I am for thd; one-horse and the two-
horse farmed. In the small farmer,
I believe, lieis the dependence of the
state; he is pur biggest asset. Hut
he will make', a better fat mer and a
more important asset, if hi owns his
own farm, no (matter how small. Ne
gro leaders ace preaching this doc
trine to their Aace; it is up to us to
put It into practice.
Much to-do ie being made over a
certain fertilizejr bill pending in the
legislature, Ihe! effect of which, it
passed, would bL- to prohibit the sale
of anything but the highest giade
fertilizers. Now. I want to say that i
have no interest.!
ireetly or indirect
ly. in any fertiliser concern und
sun, and I belieive i
■ the

tilizers- I use (them myself, and I
think it is to the\ best, interest of ev
ery farmer to usje them. Hut i can
not subscribe to h law which proh.l-
its any man fronl buying just what
he wants. Suppose the state were
to pass a law sajying you could buy
nothing but a $2ol\ mule to work your
farm. You go to trie mule dealer; b»
says, "That mule Aver there is worth
only $ltiO, hut I iCan't sell you that
one because the t law prohibits it-
The principle is tine same,
But I'll tell you {what 1 can do and
