WHY DB THESE FIVE
PIPERS SUPPORT COX?
Editor Thomasville Press:
In a lengthy campaign docu
ment which I recently received
from Judge Cox’s campaign head
quarters at Moultrie (Jalthough
supposedly emanating from the
“chambers of the Judge of the
Superior court at Camilla) I was
amused to see that they are claim
ing the editorial support of all the
papers but two in the]second con-1
gressional district.
As I read a little further, how- 1
ever I failed to notice quotations!
from but five out of the twenty
papers of the district.
Now the question naturally pre
sented itself, why are these pap
ers so anxious to displace our
faithful Congressman>ith an un
developed, untried man, who, be
fore he has served out even one
term as a Judge, aspires to suc
ceed the man whom the people
promoted a little over two years
ago, and who has been tried and
found true. So I investigated a
little and nowjoffer the following
answer as explanatory of these
newspapers’ attitude.
1 The Thomasville Press has been
“agin” .the congressman ever
since he chose to appoint a farm
er to the position of Cotton Gin
Reporter which was formerly
held by the Editor- who is my
good friend and whose^friendship
1 value highly.
2 The “Worth County Local’
would be ungrateful indeed if its
Editor who is indebted to Judge
Cox for his appointment as pro
bation officer for Worth county
if he did not feel kindly towards
him.
3 The Early County News endor
sed in most glowing terms all of
the things that it is now cussin’
our congressman for, until a tew
months ago- but that was before
its Editor|lailed tojsecure a suffic
ient endorsement from the pat
rons of the Blakely post office to
warrant his appointment as post
master.
4 The Moultrie Observer is too
much under the contrsl of the
distinguished^manager of Judge
Cox’s campaign for it not to fall
in line when the order is given.
5 The Camilla Enterprise sup
ports its home man which isquite
proper and praise worthy.
Are there anySother papers in
the district that are editorially
urging the election of Judge Cox? I
Yours Truly

WITH THE EXCHANGES
Some of ’em are very artistic,
judging from the effective man
ner in which they put on the
paint.—Columbus Enquirer Sun.
And some are very foolish or
silly—judging from the conspic-
ious manner in which they
spread it on. They look more
like a clown at a masquerade
ball than a maid on a hunt for a
husband.—Richland News.
Yep; and you long horned dev
il, some of them look mighty
good, and you very fellows that
find so much about them to
grumble about keep the drug
store corner so crowded that
nobody else can see them.
Notice where a body of New
York preachers are going to do
away with five of the ten com
mandments. Sure am glad we
saw that notice, for durned if we
were not of the opinion that
New York had done away with
all af them. Glad that the Em
pire State of the North can find
use for at least five and here is
hoping that they will keep them
in working order. Georgia seems
to cling still to about 8 of them.
Tom Felder has given out a
statement in which he makes it
appear that those who assailed
him and stabbed him really in
tended to kill him, and that the
assault was premeditated and
planned.—Valdosta Times.
If any man believes anything
Tommie says will he please stand
on his head and bark like a kan
garoo.
KIND WORDS
God has given us tongues that
we may say something pleasant
to our fellow man—Heine. ,
What do you think this is?
Don’t you know that it is politi
cal year and now here you are
quoting things that are entirely
out of order. The order of the
day is to say nice things about a
fellow, then when h e runs
against you for office, take it all
back and hand him some high-
class abuse that will make him
love you. Keep in order young
man.
The Crawfordville Breeze pro
duces the following ditty:
“White gal uses violet perf*me,
Brown gal uses de same.
Black gal uses none at all,
But she smells just de same.”
Bub; you are not much on
rhyme, but you can “sho” go
some on facts.
Lots of ladies, they tell us,
wear their “Annettes,” when
they go in bathing out in Cali
fornia and in Florida.—Thomas
ville Times-Enterprise.
If you don’t tell us what them
things are you are a piker. You
sprung it, now give the mean
ing of them.
AIL BAY SINE
There will be an all day sing
and picnic at Mt. Zion Church
two miles south of Faceville, on
