There will be a ‘hot’ cam-’

Judge Frank Park follows the
pace set by Judge E. E. Cox, in
the opening speech of his cam
paign at Tifton Saturday after
noon Judge Cox spoke for near
ly two hours to an audience that
filled the auditorium of Tift
county court house. The major
part of his speech was devoted
to Judge Park’s record in con
gress, with especial reference to
his building up an organization
by means of postoffice appoint
ments.
At this conclusion he invited
Judge Park or any of his friends
some notable commissions,
Champ Clark’s speech in which
Park was referred to as the
“baby” congressmen, and numer
ous other instances.
Quite scathing was his ridicule
of Judge Park’s numerous bills,
which Cox said had included
everything from establishing a
sweet shrub station in Miller
county to the conquest in Mexico.
Some of these bills he had in
troduced as many as three times,
but had never followed but one
out of the committee room, said
the speaker. His bill for the
acquirement of Mexico, either
by purchase, treaty or conquest
was introduced at a time when

with his audience to begin with.
He discussed the issues that are
in the campaign or liable to be
in a very interesting manner and
gained some friends in the
audience. Mr. Pottle is really no
stranger in this city as his
brother Judge Bob Pottle is well
known here, having practiced
law with Mr. T. S. Hawes of this
city. The speech of Mr. Pottle
made a good impression and it
seemed to his hearers that he
was a man that had highest of
ideals and that he was basing
his campaign on a high plane.
Mr. Pottle did not have much
time in the city but while here
met a large number of our
citizens and it is no flattery to
say that he made friends while
here. As a campaign orator he
will draw his audience to him
wherever he goes and it is an
agreed fact that he will make a
great bid tor the honor of
governor.
ATTENTION BOOSTERS

and Turner counties,
Judge Cox’s speech might be
classed under two heads, his
platform of constructive legi
slation, and criticism of his op
ponent’s public record. His plat
form includes preparedness,
a merchant marine, pension
reform, divorce of public service
from the trustees and the main
tenance of the sovereignity of
the states.
Perhaps the point given most
attention was economy in public
expenditures. The parts of
Judge Park’s record most severe
ly handled were writing into

Mr. Morgan, paster of the

to be in charge of the services
Sunday will not be here. He
will be in Atlanta, but will be
here later.
Mr and Mrs. A. R. Ellinor,

week very pleasantly with Mrs
Ellinor’s aunt Mrs. W. H.
Young.
The Famous announces its re
moval sale this week and will
put out an immense line of
ladies goods at very low prices.
They are having their new home
fixed up on the corner where the
old post office used to be and
when in their new quarters they
will have the neatest place in the
city to do business.
They are going to try and
sell out as much of their stock
as they can to prevent moving
and handling them and in their
advertisement they offer some
very splendid bargains that the
ladies will not have a chance to
duplicate in many years.
Reading their advertisement
„.ie would wonder why they
could sell stuff as they offer but
to move a stock is a hard job
and they will sell it at very low
prices to keep from having this
to do. Quite a number of special
features are offered that is
worth the looking into. Read
their advertisement afld visit

A BAINBRIDGE BOY
We received a copy of the In

is published at Birmingham,

and pleasure that we noticed
that a former fellow townsman
was among the officers of the

secretary.
Mr. Born was raised in Bain-

a citizen here most of his life.
