Friends of Judge H. L. Patter
son, who was defeated in the
in recent state primary by
Judge Newt Morris for re-elec
tion as Judge of the Blue Ridge
judicial circuit, following a con
ference, announced there would
be no contest of the primary in
the Macon convention and that
Judge Morris would be declared
the nominee.
There had been some talk of
a contest on the grounds that
Republicans had been allowed
to vote in Fanning County and
reports from there stated that
Judge Patterson, the incumbent
had filed charges with the Fan
nin county executive committee.
The situation was gone over
in Atlanta, however, with the
result that adherents of Judge
Patterson authorized the state
ment that the election returns
would be allowed to stand and
that no fight would be made
to change the result.
Judge Patterson was called
over long distance by the Press
representative this morning and
confirmed the statement that
there would be no contest.
SCHOOL TRUSTEE VERY
IMPORTANT ELECTION
The City School Trustee elec
tion is a very important matter,
in fact far more so to the people
and the children than most any
election that you have but very
little interest is being taken in
the election at all. The trustees
of any school are obliged to do
what they think best and if any
one disgarees with their work
they should offer a better set at
the time of the election rather
than sit off and criticise those
those that are on the job. If you
want to advance some that you
think will make the best trustees
now is the time to do so and not
after the election is over. Let
the patrons and citizens take this
matter up and either act now or
keep their peace after the elec
tion.

MR. SOBERS LOCATED
Mr. A. A. Subers of Donalson-
ville who was in Central America
when his brother Dr. Subers of
Macon died has been located and
apprised of his brothers death
and in a telegram to friends in
Maeon he says that he will ar
rive home about October 1st. Mr.
Subers was not aware of the
death but reaching commincation
point he wired an old friend to
know how his brother was getting
along and was immediately noti
fied of his death. He wired from
some place in Central America
tar off the beaten lines of travel.
The past week we have re
ceived several batches of ad
vertising from quack doctors
! that are traveling through this
section. We have refused this
matter because of former ex
'perience with them and be-
| cruse we think that they are
| bogus.
I Local physicians do not ad
;vertise and very few of them
carry a card with this paper
iand we do not refuse this ad
vertising because of the patro
nage of local physicions for that
is very limited, but we do think
i it is high time that local physi
cians shonld take this matter
of these traveling quacks up
and see that the people are pro
jected fr6m them and not de-
| pend on the papers to expose
( them. It is not considered ethical
for a doctor to advertise and we
, don’t know if we have much
faith in one that toots his
[own horn too liberally but
!we do think that when the
papers locally stamp out this
j quack doctor graft they should
jat least receive more than the
I indifferent support of the local
] physicians,
j We mention this merely to
! let the local doctors know that
| the papers are worth something
| to them as well as to the public
they protect from the quacks.
That we are entitled to a little
more than chronic criticism at
their hands and with a few ex
ceptions that is about all we
get in the way of support from
them.
The fellows that were wanting
to come here could cure any
thing from a sore toe to a guilty
conscience and with liberal ad
vertising behind them would
have made enough folks believe
it to have carried off quite a
lot of much ueeded money
from here.

"tS COTTDN” -
“Wear Cotton,” the famous
slogan that was started in the
fall of 1914, when the sudden
outbreak of the European war
closed the doors of the market
and left the south’s great staple
stranded high and dry, is bear
ing fruit in a very substantial
and unexpected way.
A report made public by the
United Slates bureau of census
shows that less wool and more
cotton is being used in the
manufacture ot “Make in Ameri
ca” clothing. -There has been
a decrease in wool consump
tion of 14-2 per cent, and an
increase is wool consumption of
41-8 per cent.
For the latest 12-month per
iod covered by the report, there
was a decease in wool consump
tion from 310,602,279 pounds
to 266,634,390 pounds as com
pared with 1909; and an increase
in cotton consumption from 20,
024,061, used in 1909, to 28,387,
022 pounds.

without opposition.—Thomasville
Press.
THE CAMPAIGN THUNDER
The following from an ex
change gives the reason that lots
of folks oppose the re-election of
President Wilson, It is comical
to think of the extent ot the
desperation that some of the
folks go to in their opposition to
the only man that could steer us
through the channels of trouble
that we have passed through and
not get into war.
At Columbus, Ohio, a few days
ago a story was told by a prom
inent business man to ilustrate
conditions. This gentleman
caused consternation by repeat
ing that the voters in his county
were hostile to Wilson. Pressed
for an explanation he said. “Our
Irishmen like to go fishing, and
fishing is good this year, but
there is so much work and such
high pay that the men can’t get
away to enjoy it. And they
blame it on Wilson.”
Hon. W. H. Smith of Macon
was in the city Saturday a short
while on business.
The friends and patrons of
the Hub will please take notice
that they will move their store
to the one next door to Cliff
I Brockett’s market. The store
is being fixed up in jam up style
and the Hub means to carry a
swell line of stuff in their new
home. Every customer an friend
is in vited to come in and see
us. We will be ready and open
for business by October the 1st.
