BLALOCK URGED TO R^N j FOR GOVERNOR TO SUCCEED ! DORSEY j A. O. Blalock, collector of internal revenue for the stale of Georgia, is being urged by friends all over the state to make the race for governor j next year to succeed Governor Hugh M. Dorsey. At the present time Mr. Blalock is so busy with the tremendous task of receiving income tax returns and col lecting the first installment of taxes, both of which are due March 15th,’ that he has had no time to give the gubernatorial matter his serious at tention. Letters from friends in all parts of the state have, banked up in his office, urging him to run for gov ernor. As soon as he gets a breath ing spell he intends to reply to these letters and reach a decision as to whether he will he a candidate. Mr. Blalock is one of the best known men in Georgia. His home is at Fay etteville, in Fayette county. He has been a member of the. legislature sev eral times, has served on several dem ocratic state executive committees, and has been collector of internal revenue for Georgia since 1913. The above appeared in the Atlanta Journal this week. For some time Mr. Blalock has been receiving letters relative to his candidacy but lately his friends throughout, the state are becoming active for his entrance into the race to succeed Governor Dorsey. His friends at home would be glad to give him their support and should he intimate that he may become a candi date, they will at once become active. Mr. Blalock represented his county several tenns in the lower house of the state, served on many of the most j important committees. He also rep-1 resented the senatorial district sev-! eral terms in the senate and was presi-1 dent of that body during his last term.! In both houses he was considered one 1 of its strongest members. For the past six years he has been collector j of internal revenue for the state of j Georgia and lias demonstrated that he ! is a man of great executive ability. I His many years’ work in both houses of the legislature, the executive aibil-: ity displayed as internal revenue col lector, his success in managing busi ness affairs, his Christian ideals war rants us in saying he is in every v ay capactated for the chief executiveship of the state and warrants us in saying he would ^ make Georgia a mighty good governor. His friends at homo' are hoping he will decide to enter the race. THE SOIL SURVEY OF FAYETTE COUNTY It will doubtless be of interest to many readers of this paper to know why soil surveys are made and the benefits to be derived from them. A soil survey exists for the pur pose of defining, identifying, mapping, classifying, correlating, and describ ing soils. The results obtained .ire valuable in many ways and to men of many kinds of occupation and interest. To the farmer it gives an interperta- tion of the appearance and behavior of his soil, and enables him to com pare his farm with other farms of the same and of different soils. The soil survey refort shows him the meaning of the comparison and a basis for working out a system of management that will be profitable and at the same time conserve the fertility of his soil. To the investor, real estate dealer, railroad man, banker or loan company it furnishes a basis for jhe determina tion of land values. To the scientific investigator it furnishes a foundation knowledge of the soil on which can be based plans for its improvement, and further investigation by experi ment. To the colonist, it furnishes a reli able description of the soils and con ditions. In addition to classifying and map ping the soils, a complete and accu rate base map is made.- This map shows all roads, streams, houses, churches, schools and cemeteries, so that a farmer can easily find his home and the kind of soil on his place. In addition to this, these maps are often read, in schools to familiarize the chil dren with their county, and by trav elers as a road guide. A REAL MAN. >»»»»»>»««<<««« It is pretty hard to assert your independence and defy the world when you have an empty pocket book and no bank account. The prudent man who has sav ed a little, who has a reserve at the Bank to tide him over a month or more, isn’t so afraid of sickness, or such a coward about being out of a job. A bank account is a stimu lant to real manhood, The larger the account, the firmer the footing. It breeds self-confidence, is a proof of efficiency, and an ever present resource in time of need. It’s not what a man earns in a year that gives him a surplus, it’s what he saves. Don’t make the mistake of wait ing nntil you are old to start sav ing. Start today. We give care ful attention to all accounts, large or small. BANK OF FAYETTEVILLE. 1 DEMONSTRATION W. J.

There is one part of our paper in I which we almost lose confidence some- i times, and that is our weather fore- ! casts.—Columbia Record.
