FOR STATE SENATE
The voters of the County have been
so insistent in their demands for the en
try of Judge C. A. Ward into the State
senatorial race that he was forced to

he stated that he would be in the race.

VIRGINIA TO FOLLOW
GEORGIA'S EXAMPLE
Atlanta, July 28.—Announcement
comes from the headquarters of the
Georgia Chamber of Commerce that a
movement has been started by parties
at Richmond, Va., to induce 11 the
Scut hern States to celebrate S‘;itt
i”' iducts Day on the same date that
:>orr a will hold its second observ
ance of Georgia Products Day- Wed
nesday, November, 18.
This movement lias been begun by
John Clifton Eledr and other public
spirited men in Richmond as the result
of the growing fame of Georgia Pro
ducts Day, which is attracting atten
tion all over America, and they are
communicating with commercial or
ganzatinos in each of the Southern
States and transmitting to them infor
rnatino obtained from Georgia Caem
ber of Commerce as to the methods
by which the Georgia holiday was es
tablished. Letters to the Georgia
Chamber state that the response is
cordial and enthusiastic and that the
prospects are now that on November
18th most, if not all, of the Southern
States will have public dinners, like
those held in Georgia, each serving
only products grown or made in the
State, for the purpose of enlightening
their own people as to the products
and possibilities of their state and
arousing their patriotism and loyalty
to patronize and encourage the up
building of home industry.
At the same time plans are being
laid in Virginia to establish a state
wide chamber of commerce modeled
on the plan on which the Georgia
Chamber of Commerce was built.
Knowing the added stimulous to the
--late pride and loyalty to Georgia in
stitutions that will be given by the
other Southern Stages following the
lead of Georgia, the officers of the
Georgia Chamebr of Commerce are
elated over the prospects of making
the Georgia Products Day celebration
of 1914 eclipse that held last year,
and state that they have no doubt that
the Directry of Georgia Manufacturers
and Producers, which the organizat
ion is now 7 compiling as the logical
and practical means of carrying out
the policy of keeping Georgia's money
at home, will meet with a hearty re
sponse from the people of Georgia and
will prove of vast benefit in acquaint
ing Georgians with the prducts of the
state and in building up the struggling
industries o f Georgia. Many manu
facturers and producers of agricul
tural products are voluntarily send
ing in information as to their pro
ducts without waiting to receive a for
mal letter of invitatino to send infor
mation for listing in the directory.
IN GOVERNOR’S RACE FRIENDS
OF ANDERSON ARE JUBILANT
Atlanta, July 24.—Reports coming
into the headquarters of J. Randolph
Anderson from the Seventh Congres
sional district since the announce
ment of the withdrawal of William J.
Harris from the gubernatorial . race,
indicates that the greatr part of the
strength of Mr. Harris has gone to
Mr. Anderson, and the probabilities
are that he will carry the district.
In fact, according to the reports
coming from various sections of the
state, almost the entire following of
Mr. Harris may be counted in the An
derson column, and the friends oi his
campaign in Atlanta are jubilant over
the fact, and believe that it has made
certain his success in the prmary.
Should the election go into the con
vention, Mr. Anderson is confident
that he will be able to go with a lead
over the other candidates that cannot
be overcome.
Fulton county, the largest in the
state, is almost certainly an Anderson
county. His friends here are very ac
tive in his behalf, and the new organi
zation, the Fulton County Anderson
Club, has plunged into the fight with
the determination to pile up a major
ity for Andersonin this county that
will be a record-breaker. The in
fluence of Mr. Anderson's strength
here is spreading into adjoining coun
ties, and it is probable that he will
carry several of them adjacent to Ful
ton and DeKaib, which is the strong
est in the state.

M. D. STEVENS,
Now is the time.
Why Anderson Will Make
Georgia a Good Governor
J. Randolph Anderson of Savannah,
\ President of the State Senate, will make
Georgia a good governor BECAUSE—
1. —He is in intimate touch with both
countr y and city life and knows the needs
2. —As representative, senator and in
other capacities, he has gained a wide
ilMk » ijjasa knowledge of Georgia’s affairs.
3. —He has a thorough knowledge of
f .5%'-fttl mM Georgia’s financial condition and believes
in the state’s economical administration.
V IS 4.—He is a man of wide business experi
| ■ rrn ence and would give Georgia a thoroughly
*iTiMMIaILJM business administration.
J. Randolph Anderaon. J-Jg Ls the only candidate who has
offered Georgia voters a progressive and constructive plat
form of principles.
6. —He proposes to cut the politics of the state in half,
thus removing agitation and conducing to bettter business.
7. —He is a man of strong convictions and principles and
believes in the enforcement of all the laws.
8. —He is indorsed by farmer, merchant, laborer and capi
talist and takes pride in the indorsement of all because it is
an evidence of his sense of fairness and justice.
9. —He has always given everybody and every interest
a square deal.
10. —He is a thoroughly democratic gentleman and in
Georgia’s highest office would be a credit to the State.
A hundred other reasons might as easily be given.
No man has proposed a more substantial policy for the
benefit of the farmers of Georgia than has Mr. Anderson.
His plan to put substantial guarantee of title back of rural
rredits, means that rural credits will be welcomed alike
by lender and borrower. Drainage, good highways, pub
lic health, education, are some of the subjects he presents
with first thought for Georgia’s agricultural districts.
Randolph Anderson is a native of Georgia, born in Sa
vannah, September 4, 1861. He is a member of the Protest
ant Episcopal Church, and a vestryman in Christ Church,
Savannah. He is a Mason, a Knight of Pythias and an Elk.
He is a lawyer by profession, and has served Chatham
county three terms in the House and one in the Senate.
The united business men of Savannah have indorsed him
as a man, “broad, big and capable.” The Chatham county
executive committee has indorsed him as “a man who, as
governor, would reflect the best traditions of the State.”
Out of more than a hundred Georgia newspapers which
have made complimentary reference to him, the following
are selected at random: •
—“ V stronsr min and a loyal Democrat.” —Monroe Tribune.
"Look* lik ■ our next Governo Pembroke Knterprise.
