HOLDER SAYS HOWELL SHALL
NOT HANDPICK A GOVERNOR
OBITUARY.
la an open letter to Editor Clark
Howell of the Atlanta Constitution,
replying to the editorial published by
that paper Friday,- calling upon him
to withdraw from the race and ask
ing, “What say you, Mr. Holder?’’
Speaker John N. Holder of the House
of Representatives says the one con
dition upon which he will withdraw,
is that Mr. Howell will at once with
draw from the race his candidate for
the United States Senate. Otherwise,
Mr. Holder declares he is in the race
for governor to the finish, and pro
poses to prosecute liis campaign more
vigorously than ever.
Declaridg that he was first in the
race for governor, having come in a3
a loyal Democrat to save the situation
in Georgia, following a conference of
his friends from all parts of the State,
Mr. Holder says he does not propose
to be eliminated now, when the re
ports which he quotes from all sec
tions of the State show that he is the
strongest candidate, and that there
is every indication that he will win.
Mr. Holder asserts that there is no
ground or right upon which Mr. How
ell and Mr. Anderson of The Macon
Telegraph, can assume to “handpick”
tne candidates for governor and U. S.
Senator. Asserting that they forced
the present situation by attempting to
“handpick” a senator, and are now
seeking to deal similarly with the gov
ernor’s office, Mr. Holder concludes
as follows:
“Now, Mr. Howell: I am ready, will
ing and anxious to do anything in my
power for my party, and I stand ready
to relieve the embarassing situation
in Georgia; but my withdrawal would
accomplish nothing unless the situa
tion in the senatorial race was also
relieved at the same time.
“Since you, my political enemy,
have seen fit to advise me what to do,
now you advise your friend and candi
date to withdraw from the race for
the senate, leaving only two in the
race, and I stand ready to meet your
demand 'and withdraw instanter from
the governor’s race.
“Unless, however, this is done, and
done promptly, • I am unable to see why
I should be sacrificed for no purpose
except to help your candidate for gov
ernor, and not the Democracy of
Georgia, and I shall be in the race to
the finish, confidently believing I
shall be elected.’’
SCHOOL OPENS SEPTEMBER 6TH.
One more week and the long vaca
tion days will give place to shorter
but very busy ones—for some of us
at least. The Fayetteville public
school opens Monday, the 6th of Sep
tember.
It is expected that the enrollment
will be even larger than last year
when it was greater than ever before
and strained the walls, not to say the
seating capacity of the present dis
graceful structure. Doubtless, the nor
mal school attendance of this school
should be, at least, three hundred and
fifty. Ten years ought to see an en
rollment of four fifty to five hundred.
The faculty includes one more
teacher this year than heretofore, the
Board having established a depart
ment of domestic science, which will
be taken care by cutting a new room
in the auditorium, according to the
present arrangements. The new mem
bers of the faculty are Miss Helen
Williamson of Atlanta, Miss Alleen
Ward, sister of Miss Alma Ward of
the present faculty, Miss Eva Stamper
of Camilla, Ga., Mrs. Foote, and Miss
Letitia Mullins, both of Fayeteville.
A more complete account of the facul
ty will appear in the News next week,
as will final arrangements for the
place of the opening exercises. The
present state of the auditorium pre
vents holding them there.

Our church is again called upon to
mourn the death of a beloved broth
er.
Donizell Jackson was born Dec. 11,
1896, died April 11, 1920. In August,
1918, he gave his heart to God and
united with the New Hope Baptist
church and was baptized by Rev. C. A.
Adams. He was a noble boy. He
noved his church and was a devoted
member, willing to bear his part in
every good work. His regard for his
father and mother and other members
of the family amounted to entire for
getfulness of self.
A wide circle of friends loved him
as few young men are loved; In his
death the Church has suffered a
grievous loss.
While it is true that all alive must
die, and admit it to be one of the
laws of a loving God, he leaves us
sad and lonely, and were it not for
the undying hope of a reunion hereaf
ter, the separation by death would
leave us utterly despairing.
His funeral was conducted April 12
at New Hope by Rev. C. A. Adams
and G. B. Walker, and- his remains
were laid to rest in the cemetery at
that place. We, as a Church, extend
our heartfelt sympathies to the be
reaved family.

Because he is the one true, tried and always loyal Democrat,
