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 (Adv.) J. B. Stubbs. 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.
