WITH THE EXC)
Some men dance with their
wives because they really want
to, while other men just dance
with their wives.-Macon News.
Yep, we can always tell when
times are tight in this section
for seeing certain men autoing
with their own wives is a sure
and certain sign.

in early. Our reason for making
this plain is that in the past when
one man would come late with
his copy he would grouch a little
bit because the other fellow had
a little better position. All poli
tical matter will be payable in
advance. This is a custom that
has existed for many years and
we will adhere to it because the
space is worth the money. The
paper does not, nor has ever as
sumed editorial position in a
county primary, it can't be ex
pected to take a hand in a fam
ily agreement. The primary is
a family institution, there are
no issues involved other than
the competency of the men of
fering and as they are all home
men, the general public knows
as much about thei** Competency
we do. This .. the county
paper and we want every candi
date to feel, want his friends to
know that he will have just as
much consideration at the hands
of the paper as any other man.
The editor will vote, his employ
ees will vote, as their consciences
dictate, but will in no way try to
influence any one or interfere
with ary one. The paper wants
to be understood very thorough
ly. Long winded attacks, or any
thing that will have a tendency
to weaken any candidate as the
Democratic nominee, will not be
published at any price. Who
ever wins will be the nominee
of the party and this paper will
not be the channel to weaken
“Hope deferred”, says the old
proverb, ‘‘maketh the heart sick.
A good way to keep yourt heart
healthy is not to hope.—Ocala

old head off.

Richard Canfield, who fell and
killed himself while en route to
an insurance agent’s office to ex
change a $33,000 life insurance
policy for $10,000 in cash, is
called lucky in death. We rather
think the luck here extends to
the next generation.—Savannah
Press. Well, it was the besi
deed that Dick ever did.
There are a number of daily
newspapers in Georgia and a
few weekly newspapers that rep
resent the interest of the Whole
sale Liquor Dealers Association.
We believe they are serving these
interests without reward, or the
hope or even the possibility of
reward here or hereafter. Every
one of these papers is trying to
get Hon. L. G. Hardman in the
race for governor. If Mr. Hard
man ever expects to be governor
of Georgia he had better stand
with the crowd that elected Gov
ernor Nat E. Harris before and
that is going to re-elect him.
Elberton Star. Back up bub,
don’t get little. Everybody that
supported your man Harris last
time are begging Haraman with
tears in their eyes to get in the
race. The writer is one that
voted for the prohibition bills in
the last legislature and he is
frank to say thr‘ ,such guys as
this squib leads one to believe
that you are the very ones that
v-ill bring sure defeat to your
man Harris. To attack the mo
tives of Hardman is too little to
notice. Do you recall that Hard
man ran for Governor two years
ago? Don’t try to give Harris
credit for any prohibition act for
all posted krow that they would
have been passed over his head.
It is a settled fact that Hardman
and Harris voters will elect Hard
man this time.
Some of the politicians are
going to defeat Governor Harris
if they can. However, the peo
ple of Georgia will settle the
matter.—Darien Gazette. Well
if the politicians do this it will be
the first time they ever did any
thing that the people wanted
clone. Georgia wants and must
have a governor, a man with
life, vigor and DECISION. That
she has’nt got. That she will
get in L. G. Hardman, the man
the revenue-reformers fear so
much.
