If he is elected he will be better able to govern his matters ac cordingly. For six years past the primary in this conuty has been between the 10th and 15th of mrch and it. has given pretty good satisfaction to all parties concerned thus far. The executive committees in setting a date will voice the sentiments of all the candidates and as they, the candidates pay the cost of holding the primary they should be pretty well con sidered of this part of the pro gram. Most of the voters would prefer not to be panhandled by the candidates during their busi ness season.

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 Long winded attacks, or any thing that will have a tendency to weaken any candidate as the Democratic nominee, will not be published at any price.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 Star. And when you quit hop ing for better things, you can aid a world by shooting your own old head off. “A boy in Louisville, Ky., can stretch his neck six inches,” says an Indiana paper. Huh, that’s nothing—a short skirt can make any man do equally as much, How do vou know. Are you speaking from experience or just guess work. 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.
