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.

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.

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.
