Watson Lieut., Ben Blackburn
Speaks For Gov. Hardwick
TO VOTERS OF BAKER COUNTY
Declares Senator Watson Is Hands Off In
Georgia Campaign
Moultrie, Ga., Sept. E.—Speaking
before a crowd of fully 1,000 persons
which had gathered at Ivey pond in
Baker County this afternoon to attend
a big fish fry, Hon. Ben Blackburn of
Atlanta, and a life long friend of Sen
ator Watson, assailed Clifford Wal
ker, candidate for governor, for go
ing up and down the state telling
Watson'men that he is ‘’Watson’s”
candidate, and explaining to anti-
Watson men that he had “never
sought Watson’s support, but can’t be
blametf for getting all that Y can out
of it.”
“Cliff knows,” Mr. Blackburn said,
“that Watson is not supporting him.
I was in Washington a week ago my
self and while there Senator Watson
told me he was having nothing to do
with the Georgia campaign. In the
face of Walker’s duplicity I can’t see
how any self-respecting friend of
Senator Watson can vote for him.”
Mr. Blackburn* declared that the
chief reason the former attorney gen
eral is conducting a whispering cam
paign instead of coming out in the
.open “like a man” is that he knows
that he will be asked questions that
he can’t answer. “What he hopes to
do is to fool the people by playing
both ends against the middle, hut an
even shrewder man than Walker is
couldn’t get by with such tactics," Mr.
Blackburn told^the big crowd. Wal
ker’s only platform is a platform to
hold office. . He goes from store to
store, and office to office and like an
overgrown school boy, and repeats to
everyone he meets that things are
“fine and dandy.”
Mr. Blackburn said that Governor
Hardwick had kept his pledges in so
far as it was possible for him to
keep them, adding 1 “challenge hos
opponent or any of his opponent’s
friends to show that he hasn’t. It is
not the Governor's fault that the
members of the Legislature took
the new broom he presented them,
broke the handle and tossed it out
of the window. One of his recom
mendations to the General Assemb
ly alone would have saved the state
$200,000 a year in one department.
I refer to the audit bill. But any
fair-minded person can't blame the
Governor becauae it is not a law at
this time.”
After his address, scores of per
sons came forward and shook hands
with Mr. Blackburn and assured him
they were for Gov. Hardwick for a
second term, insisting that he had
made good and was entitled to re-
election. It was the opinion of many
of those at the meeting that Gov.
Hardwick would carry at least eleven
out of tlge thirteen counties in the
Second district.—Advertisement from
Savannah Morning News.

E. E. Elcan, Super
intendent of City School*.
To the voters of Decatur county.
In the limited time that I have had,
I have tried to see as many voters
as possible but there are many that 1
have not seen.
There will be no more issues of
this paper before the election and I
want to put my friends and 'all the
voters on guard against the usual
11th hour campaign canards.
1 have run my own race; I have
“toted my own skillet’’ and’ looked
after only my own affairs. If any
man tells you that I have not, he is
telling it to deceive you. I have is
sued my platform and that is what
I stand on and that - is what I will
do.
If any man' tells you anything
that I will do that is not laid down
in my announcement he is telling
a falsehood and doing so with the
deliberate attempt to mislead, 1 you
when it is too late for me to see you
or defend myself. I have this race
won I feel, and having had experience
with the campaign liar I want to
put all on guard against him. Not
only for myself but for the men in
the race with me and against mg.
I have conducted a clean cam
paign and our claims have been laid
before the people and I don’t want to
see the wishes of the people set at
naught by an eleventh hour lie. I
say this for both, Mr. Hines and
Prof. Toole, as they have no organ
of their own to put their friends on
notice.
I am making this race simply and
Bainbridge Boys At
Citizens Training Camp
Bainbridge boys who attended the
C. M. T. Camp at Anniston, Ala,,
have a creditable report to make
upon their return.
John Greene won a medal over 156
out of a possible 200 for sharp shoot
ing and was promoted to “white”
color.
Herbert Knowles, out of 130, was
named one of the eight best drilled
boys and promoted to O. R- C. and
to “white" for the next term.
Ennis Subers was named second
Lieutenant and will be “blue ” next
term-
John Toole and Shep Pittman were
recommended for privates in listed
reserves. These boys attend camp in
Favettvillc, N. C., next year.
They have enjoyed their experien
ces and consider the training very
fine.
You missed the Band Sunday. Did
you subscribe to the Band?
r
solely because I feel that with my
wide acquaintances 1 can do the coun
ty good and the state good. 1 ,can
do the state great good if with these
advantages 1 can defeat the various
and proposed bond issues by the
state. These alone will take the time
of the most able man that you can
find.
It has come to pass when a man
fights you from prejudicial standi
points and sees that he is not making
any headway, h£ sets to work to
think up some tale to tell that he
knows is not true with the hope of
stemming the tide in your favor.
Such a man will cut you in the back
if he can. Some men seem to think
that an election carries with it a
license to lie, but these arc so few
that they don’t amount to a great
deal, but when the man they are
aimed at has no chance to answer
they can mislead. \
In my work, as editor of the only
paper in the county, I have been in
a most trying position, trying to
treat all parties alike and this I have
earnestly tried to do.’
I ask the support of the voters, and
feel sure they will stand by me in
thrs race. I thank each one for their
consideration shown me when gall
ing on them.
I will give you the very best serv
ice in me and exert the best energy
that I have at command.
Very respectfully,
E. H. GRIFFIN.

WEST ST. DRAINAGE
NOW COMPLETED
THE WORK STOOD UP UNDER A
VERY SEVERE TE8T THIS
WEEK.
That West street is drained will be
good news to every persun -in Bain

has been the target for jokes after
every shower, to say nothing of a
heavy rain fall, and a blemish on a
pretty reHidcntal section and n high
way leading into Bainbridge is at
last stood the test of a down pour.
Had it Raid water after a rain
like the one of Tuesday, it would hpve
been ekcusable, but it threw off every
drop of the water and the residents
of that street are the most grateful
and appreciative. They are asking
that we announce through these col
umns their thanks to the city council
who is responsible for the success of
removing one of the greatest nuisan
ces that has ever occurred In thie
city.
They repeat, “We are so thankful
to those men.” The town congratu
