It is amusing to hear some men
talk politics. And a lot of them have
the nerve to pretend to poke fun at
the women. Rather a funny thing in

The death of Enver Pasha removes
from Turkey one of her most bril

Some of the funny old fellows that

Albany is having a spirited race

The light situation lias been very

The campaign is about over. This
One wag remarked that the rea
son that DuPre was hung, was that
he was an outsider and killed an At
lanta man. Atlanta can be depended
on to take care of her own. Back of
it all there is a deep conviction that
there has been too much killing. The
crime of murder is horrible in all
it« phases but we would have liked it
much better to have seen those At
lanta women trying to raise money
to help educate the children of the
murdered man than to waste all
those tears and time on the man that
did the killing. It surely would have
looked more like real charity to us.
There never seems to be much ad
vertised sympathy for the fellow that
is shot down and killed without a
warning but ample for the man that
has months to get himself right if
he needs to get that way. Symp
athy ought to be well balanced to
be effective.
o
It is said that by some mistake a
law was passed putting the hiring
of the Highway employees under the
jurisdiction of the Chairman of the
Highway Commission rather than the
Engineer. Gosh, what a lucky mis
take it wnH. Now maybe Georgia
folks will get a look in on the jobs
instead of the out of state folks.
It was charged and not denied that
we never saw 80 per cent of the
best jobs in the Highway Depart
ment are being held by out of state
folks and if such is the ease it is to
be hoped that John Holder will have
the power and see to it that Geor
gia folks get the jobs. This is one
error that we are glad of.

The friends of Judge Bell in this

that he gets a solid vote in this, his

show their appreciation by rallying
to him in this race solidly and see
ing to it that he gets a solid vote.
He is as we all know one of the
most competent men in the county
and deserves all that can be given
him. Circuit pride will bring his vote
up to 100 per cent.

Judge Custer is making a winning
race and he should carry a solid vote
in this county. Some other counties

to hold the job down and any fair

Herachel Elders down in Tutnail

CITATION—Year’s Support.
Georgia, Decatur county.
To whom it may concern.
Notice is hereby given, that the ap
praisers appoint! to set apart and
assign a year’s support to Dora
Siegel, the widow of Sam Siegel, de
ceased, have filed their award, and
unless good ami sufficient cause is
shown, tho some will be made the
judgment of the Court at the October
Term, 1922. of the Court- of Ordinary.
This September tho 5th, 1922.
f. li. MAXWELL. Ordinary.
In presenting the name of
Judge E. L. Smith to the voters
of the Albany Judicial Circuit
to fill the unexpired term of
Judge R. C. Bell, the people of
Calhoun county, and his friends
and fellow citizens in his fyome
town, realize fully the responsi
bility of the position they are
endeavoring to fill with one of
their own sons, and are fully
confident of the fact that one
more suited for the position can
not be found. His support here
is not merely from the fact that
he is one of us, but comes from
a long acquaintance of onfc who
has made his way from the
plowhandles to one of promin
ence in the community, in the
county and state. \
Graduating from the Mercer
Law’ School in 1903, he com
menced the practice of law in
Edison shortly thereafter, and
by hard work and study he has
built up a large practice through
this section, and we know that
he has been a success.
In public life he has taken an
active part and his home people
hav® never failed to elect him
for every office he has offered
for, which is evidence of his
standing in his home county.
He served in the legislature
two terms and in fhe state sen
ate one, being named vice-presi
dent of this body. He has serv
ed the city court as solicitor, and
is now judge of the same, and
his record as a presiding judge
is one to be proud of. In the
affairs of his home town judge
Smith has always taken an ac
tive part in the upbuilding of
same, and on any quesiton af
fecting the good of his town,
county or state he has always
been outspoken, and upon his
public or private record there
has never been held any doubt
about his honesty or ability,.
We feel that the success He
has attained in the practice of
law, and the experience gained
in the different public offices,
peculiarly fit. him for the posi
tion to which he now aspires,
and know that if the voters of
the circuit could know him and
irust him as the people of his
home county, there would not
be any doubf as to his success
in this race.
And last, but not least, the
office to which he is seeking, is
one that is to be filled by the
vote of the people and inasmuch
as this county has never had th£
honor of furnishing a judge of
.this circuit, we feel that the
people of the entire circuit will
recognize the justice of our
claim for recognition and poll a
handsome majority for our can
didate, who we can Heartily rec
ommend to them as a clean,
high-toned Christian gentelman
and one who will fillthe position
with honor to himself and the
circuit
You cannot make a mistake in
voting for Judge E. L. Smith—
we know him and know that he
has the ability and ranks with
the best of the circuit.—Adver
tisement.
AN EXPLANATION
'The National White laborer's Lea
gue, a new and very important or
ganization, is meeting with the most
wonderful success of any thing of its
kind I heve ever seen." Good men of
all classes of laborers are eligible
to membership. But no foreigner or
colored person is eligible.
The word “Laborer” is not to be
construed to mean wage earners only
but it is intended to mean every pure
blooded white man who is born an
American Citizen and earns his living
by .laboring inwhatsoever occupation
he may have. He may be employed
by some one else or he may have an
occupation of his own. But he must
not be a man who earns his living
by GAMBLING, cheating and swind
ling, dealing in futures or any un
known articles, which is an occupa
tion damaging rather than upbuild
ing.
This organization is not an ordin
ary Labor Union and must not be
classed as such, but it is organized
for more noble purposes. The aim
of ths organization is to create a
higher standard of citizenship as
well as to advance the present stan
dard of workmanship in the different
classes of labor.
Some have supposed that it would
affiliate with other Labor Unions,
which is a mistake. This organiza
tion does not intend to have any
thing to do with strikes in any form,
neither do the members of the Lea
gue, and any member taking any ac
tive part in such does so as an in
dividual and not in the name of the
League.
We do not wish to throw and im
proper reflection on any Labor Un
ion, as we have the highest regards
for any honorable bodyof men.
Signed, J. E.SHOLAR, Sec & Treas.
