enjoy them very much if they could
get a seat occasionally. It does look

kind of a local organization that has
for its purpose the idea of getting the

Same Old Story lint a Good One.
Mrs. Mahula Burns, Savannah, Mo.,
relates an experience, |the like k)f
which has happened in almost every
neighborhood in this country, and has
been told and related by thousands
of others, as follows: “1 used a bot
tle of Chamberlain’s Colic and Diar
rhoea Remedy about nine years ago
and it cured me of (lux (dysentery). 1
had another attack of the same com
plaint three or four years ago and a
few doses of this remedy cured me.
1 have recommended it to dozens of
people since I 'have used it and shall
continue to do so for I know it is a
quick and positive cure for bowel
troubles."
' One’ tj.f the most useful men of tin*
House of Representatives and one of
the most conservative and careful is
Judge Davis, of Oglethorpe county,
■who is a candidate for re-election. The
(judge had opposition but that has
been removed now and the state is as
sured of his services. It was the
(Vieasure of the writer to serve with
him for several years and in that time
we learned to love him as a man and
admire him ns a servant of the pco
pie. He is a real friend of the people
and his every act has always been in
their interest To each and every
problem he gives careful attention
and is ever fair to all interests. The
Post-Starch Light is indeed glad to
know that the state will have the bene
fit of his services for a time yet. It
is a time when men of his experience
and ability are badly needed.
O
Representative G. W. Lankfovd, of
Toombs county, is now running for
the Senate to represent the 15th Sen
atonal District. The editor served
during 1917-1918-1919 and 1920 in the
House with Mr. Lankford and for the
past two year's hti has seen him in ac
tion during my visits to Atlanta.
Mr. Lankford by his stand for the
Common Schools has been named by
Lis friends as "Common School Lank
ford" and by this name he is favorly
known in Atlanta.
It is conceded he has done more for
the Common Schools than any member
of the General Assembly for by hi:
work and influence he introduced and
had passed the “Lankford Bill” which
gives to the common schools 50 per
cent of all revenues of the State and
if he is elected to the Senate the
interest of the school children of Ga..
will be well taken care of.
Here’s hoping Mr. Lankford will be
elected, for Georgia needs experienced
men Who have been tried and found
not wanting.
fied to do this and to do that. In
November 1920 we were fortunate
enough to get a job putting out ad
vertising matter, making contracts
with newspapers and other printing
work for the Georgia Committee on
Public Utility information of the
state. The committee was formed to
issue propaganda against the so-call
ed Municipal League who seek to bond
the state for 250 million dollars to
go into all kinds of trade. At the time
that the work was offered us we were
indeed glad to get it. It has been the
saving of this paper for the bottom
hod fallen out of every thing and this
work has enabled us to keepi-the paper
going and not HAVE TO CUT THE
WAGES OF OUR MEN OR LAY
ANY OF THEM OFF THE JOB. It
has enabled us to give the people a 16
page paper on a four page paper pat
ronage. This work has had nothing
what so ever to do with any rates of
any kind, any legislation of any kind
any more than any other of our daily
work. We run a printing shop for a
living and this work has been get
ting out advertising matter, a thing
that we do every day for every citizen
f the county that wishes it. Our
only objection to the work has been
thut we did not huve more of it to
lo. Since the announcement of the
ditor for the General Assembly one
or two that have alwuys opposed us
have had considerable to sa# about
the work. As usual they knew noth
ing in the world about what we were
doing. If a wholesale grocer,,or a
newspaper man or a farmer has to
up his daily way of making a liv-
to go to the general assembly
there will he few men that can offer.
Of course lack of information would
mislead some voters. On Augst
10th, to our great regret our con-
act expires with the committee and
e will not have this work and we
ish to also add that had the work
anything to do with public mat
ters I was not and am not holding
any public office at this time and have
right to accept any kind of employ
ment that might be offered me. One
man made the statement that the
job had something to do with rates.
No bud, the job nor being a member
>f the legislature has nothing to do
th making railroad rates or a<iy
other kind of rates. They are made
by the railroad commission. We have
been traveling over the state, putting
out advertising matter, billing the
peakers in the different counties and
printing the advertising matter for
he speakers. A work that We do
y day for everybody and anybody
that wants our services. We merely
wish to call the attention of the vot
es to this fact for of course in a
f.mpnign there is always some smart
\Iec that has something to say about
verything and knows nothing. So
ar us my being connected with a cor
poration is concerned, I have had the
same connection with them that a sec
tion hand has with a railroad. They
rder whut printing they want done
and 1 do it. Just as I do for the local
ailroad with offices here and I am
indeed glad to get their work. Don’t
misled.
JUDGE FISH’S ANNOUNCE
MENT.
In another column appears the an
nouncement of Judge William H.
Fish as a candidate to succeed himself
as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
Judge Fish is one of the best known
men in the state and is held in high
esteem by the people and the lawyers.
He has been a member of the su
preme court since 1896 and has rend
ered the state splendid service.
Judge Fish was born in Macon, Ga.,
and at the age of four years his fam
ily moved to Macon county. He
graduated at the University of Geor
gia and took a law course at the Uni-
versit of Virffinia.
In 1891 he was elected Judge of the
superior court of the Southwestern
circuit by the legislature to fill the
unexpired term of the late Allen Fort.
He was re-elected for the full term
without opposition the succeeding
year, and in 1896 was again re-elected
without opposition for the term of
four years. Prior to beginning his
new term on the bench, the member
ship of the supreme court was in
creased from three to six judges and
Judge Fish was nominated for one^of
the new places.
He has been re-elected ever since
that time. In 1905 upon the death of
Chief Justice Simmons, he was ap
pointed Chief Justice by Governor
Joseph M. Terrell and was re-elect
ed for the full term of the following
year. Judge Fish has now been Chief
Justice for seventeen years, and has
made a splendid record as a member
of the highest court in the state. v
His friends in every se#tion feel
confident that he will be re-elected to
the position which he has honored.

A Card From
S. W. Freeman
July 31st, 1922.
Editor Post-Search Light,
Dear Sir:-
It has been correctly reported that
the chairman of the county commis
sioners has said that the county was
out of debt and had something like
fifty thousund dollars to its credit. If
this be true it is certainly pleasing
to the tax payers. But the most of
us are from Missouri and must be
ihown.
I have persistently and insistently
asked for a financial statement of our
county, but so far have not been able
to get it, and I again insist that we
have it before the old board retires
to private life.
1 don’t know whether the chairman
of the board is going to stand again
for election or not. This is imma
terial, but if he docs or don’t I am
going to igsist that he makes his
showing now instead of using it in the
eleventh hour. This death bed rc-
pentence is a dangerous proposition.
Again it is reported that in 1920 or
there about there was a county war
rant presented to the county trcaSurer
payment for some Bridge Steel
that was so out of proportion to the
amount of the purchase that the treas
urer refused to cash it and this thing
brought about an investigatien before
the grand jury, and it is said that a
pull somewhere in connection with the
new county movement was all that
kept the board from being indicted.
The chairman knows whether this is
true or not and I insist that he tell
A Loving Tribute To
Mrs. W. B. Grice
The day was done and the world
was peacefully at rest, when her sum
mons came and ever in obedience to
the command of her Heavenly Father,
she answered the call of death.
Her chastined and purified spirit,
all manteled with glory of Christ
ian triumph in life and in death, as
cended to share the everlasting glory
of her Redeemer, before the eternal
throne; where there is rest for the
weary and where the spirit of he just
are made perfect.
Her work was done. She was call
ed from all earthly cares and shall
know its sorrows no more.
It was ’through the gates of death
that she passed to her inheritance
above.
Death’s hand roughly and rudely
seizes us; yet in His hands He bears
glittering crowns; and the message
He brings us—is come away hame.
To you who are sorrowing, mourn
not, as those who have no hope. Re
member the words of the dear Master
a,s He comforted those He loved so
dearly and hear those words as He
whispers them to you today. Let
not your hearts be troubled—In my
Father's house are many mansions; if
it were not so, I would have told
you. I go to prepare a place for
you, and if I go to prepare a place
for you, I will come again and re
ceive you unto myself; that wliSre I
am, there ye may be also. And so we
know she will some day arise with
Christ to the resurrection of eternal
life.
Mrs. Grice came to earth January 23
1898 and went back to God on July
22, 1922. Her sojourn on earth was
not many years, but the love and
sunshine of them were as an un
folding flower which leaves the lives
of those about her, sweet with it’s
fragrance.
To her husband and little girls,
Mary Grace, Willie Rejinia, Christine
and to her father, sisters and brothes,
God, himself will be your Father, com
forter and protector as he was for
her.
Although her . going makes our
hearts sorrow, it is more glory than
death
Father, and our Father’s house and
has gone to be with Jesus.
Sweet be the home of the home
of thy spirit immortal.
Brilliant be the crown on thy* placid
young brow.
Glory entrape thee, Lo! Eden’s Good any and all times—Bot-
bright partake, have opened for thee' tied Orange Crush.
thy entrance there.
Here in thy days, thou wert, ail that
deseefed thee,
Fair as the morn, and pure thy
was thy soft breast.
Why should we sorrow? The Lord
has redeemed thee.
Rejoice anguished hearts, Claudie
lives with the blest.
We wish to thank our many friends
for their kindness to us during the
sickness and death of our wife, daugh
ter and sister and for the many beau
tiful floral offerings.

The Atlanta Club has sent out ques-
tlonaires ( about what the country folks
think of Atlunta and what suggestions
one can make to help Atlanta live up
to its rightful station as the BIG
CITY of Georgia. Well brethren we
□ re going to take your ,advice .and
make them
First you should see that your city
policemen have common politeness and
when a country man wants to know
the name of a street, what streets
he can drive down in his ear, what
the laws of traffic are, see that he
gets the information in a gentleman
ly manner. There was never a set
of cops on earth that are gruff and
is rough as Atlanta has.
The writer once asked one of them
>vhat the traffic laws were, and he in
formed us that we would “damned
tuick find out” if we were not care
ful. We wanted to be careful but did
:ot know what it meant in this man’s
■yes. Another idea that Atlanta can
work on is to be more cordial as a city
o the out-state fellow. Don’t act
towards him like he is a subject and
not entitled to any considerable
attention. One other thing that
can help, put your city govern
ment into the hands of your best peo
pie and dont have an executive that
will run about over the country mak-
ng the most incendiary kind of
speeches for cheap political notoriety,
i’he state is justly proud of Atlanta
md because of that she must be more
■ovdial, more kind and considerate to
'he country man that is building het-
up. Look beyond the corporate limits.
Other trains come to that city bo
rides' the Southern out of New York
Again it is remarked that in build
ing the Brinson bridge that there was
a difference of some eleven thousand
dollars in the bids of two bridge com
panies. And the present chairman
of the county board persistently in
sisted that the contract be given to
the highest bidder. If this be true
why so. The bridge was to be built
by plans and specifications drawn by
an engineer and the contractor had to
give a bond. The commissioners had a
right to accept or reject the bridge.
So where was the policy or business
sense of giving the contract to the
highest bidder.
These are all business and politic
propositions. I ask and demand an
answer as to the cow dipping proposi
tion if any one can get honor or glory
out of it they are welcome to it. But
I would like to know why it was that
our chairman sold his cattle as soon
as he got this curse saddled on the
people.

No Meal Is Perfect
Without Good Meat
Relishing a meal puts a fellow in a good
humor. (The ladies are always that way.)
Without meat there is always a feeling of
something lacking. And if you have meat,
and it is not of the best, the relish is not
there.
The obvious thing, therefore, is to buy the
BEST Meat—meat that produces a relish,
that puts you in a good humor, that keeps
you in the pink of condition.
