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. | Mr. and Mrs. Gus T. Weil will I leave soon for Sellers, 24 miles east j of New Orleans, La. Mr. Weil will j have charge of a commissary there ! and Mrs. Weil will be post mistress ! at Sellers. Their many friends while j interested in the business change, re- | gret to see them move from Bain- bridge^ ing that is now under construction. When school opens all children will I be told specifically just what to ex- | peet if they get in the way of the ! workmen or if they enter the build- I ing without permission, so there is no j reason for any parent to fear any | accident during the school hours. 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. THE CTTY TOTAKE OVER FT. HUGHES THIS ACTION TAKEN AT COUN CIL MEETING HELD TUES DAY NIGHT. The City Council met Tuesday night in regular session with a full Board present and the Mayor.
