VOLUME XXXIII. FAYETTEVILLE, GEORGIA, SEPTEMBER 1, 1922. NUMBER FOR REDUCTION IN RATES OF ALL PUB LIC UTILITIES. Vote for W. Trox Bank ston, Candidate /for R. R. Commissioner to Succeed Mr. J. A. Perry. TYPHOID FEVER INCREASING The Folly of Delay of Vaccination Will Cost Many Lives. ^BANKSTON’S PLATFORM He is in favor of cheaper freight, passenger and express rates and a re duction in rates for telephones, tele grams, electric current and lights, gas, street car cares and all other utilities that are regulated by the Georgia Rail road Commission. As Chairman of the Railroad Com mittee of the House of Representatives on all tie votes Bankston voted for the people instead of the utility cor porations. In last race he received 86,303 votes Help him get the balance this time. If this platform suits you get busy for Bankston. (From The Millen News.) W. TROX BANKSTON A MILLEN VISITOR “Hon. W. Trox Bankston, candidate for Railroad Commissioner spent last Friday afternoon in the city looking after his candidacy. Mr. Bankston is one of the best known men in Georgia and will make the state a public of ficial that can’t be pulled around by the big j corporations or anyone else. If Trox is elected you can depend upon him to do what he believes to be right and his belief is to give every £ body a square deal. His friends in Jenkins county say that they are go ing to carry Jenkins county for hiA and The New is inclined to believe they are going to do it.”—The Millen News. (From The Sparta Tribune.) W. TROX BANKSTON IS IN SPARTA MONDAY W. Trox Bankston, the veteran news paper man of West Point, Ga., was in Sparta Monday in the interest of his candidacy for a place on the Georgia Railroad Commission. In the last primary Mr. Bankston was a candidate for the Railroad Com mission and only missed election by a very narrow margin. His defeat was due to the subtle though organized fight made upon him by the predatory interests, which hed had vigorously fought on many of their l nefarious schemes while he was a member of the house of representatives from Troup county. There are few better known men in Georgia than Trox Bankston. His name is almost a by-word in the Geor gia Press association whcih is almost, of not quite a unit in urging his can didacy ,'before the electorate of the state primary election. In addition to his natural qualifica tions for the office to which he as pires, Mr. Bankston, while he was a members fo the legislature, gained much knowledge of the duties of the railroad commission by reason of the fact he was chairman of the legisla ture committee to which practically all the legislation touching the Rail road Commission was referred.—The Sparta Tribune. The typhoid fever season has come and many, many peojple in Georgia are still unprotected so far as being vac cinated is concerned. Time and again the State Board of Health (and thei County Boardsof Health have sent out warnings and advised, even begged, the people to be vaccinated. Last year 798 people who turned a deaf ear ta such timely advice have already cross ed to the unknown. Fayette County Board of Health, in co-operation with J the state board, is doing its utmost to crush out the pos sibility of an invasion of this terrible epidemic. Dr. G. W. Wallis of the county board, with the co-operation of Drs. T. J. Busey and A. B. Jones, of Tyrone, called the citizens of the western part of the county to meet them at Ty rone Monday, August the 19th, and of the number who came, two hundred and wtenty were vaccinated. On Mon day, counting those who came for sec ond treatment and additional ones com ing for their first application, there were three hundred and twenty-one all. On Monday, September 4th, when these splendid physicians who are zealously working to save the people from this terrible disease, shall again meet with those who| come for their final 'treatment and others who are taking the course, there will in all probability be over four hundred ap»- plicants. The magnificent and heroic work these physicians is commendable and their co-operation ethically right and should be an inspiration to those other counties of < the state in an en deavor to stamp out this death-dealing disease from our midst, as the county board intends doing in Fayette. In Loving Memory of Mrs. W. R. Handley HON. C. D. REDWINE Announces for the Senate From the 26th District. Elsewhere in this issue, will be found the announcementof 'Hon. C. D. Red- wine for State Senator from the 26th Senatorial District. Mr. Redwinq was born and reared on hie father’s: farm in Fayette county. He has-had considerable legislative ex perience and his friends insist that at this time men,of experience and so ber judgment are needed in the Gen eral Assembly of Georgia. Mr. Redwine will fuly measure up to the requirements of the office of State Senator and will serve the District in an ^ible and efficient manner.. The Brain at Its Best. At what time of day is the mind of the average man, doing an ordinary day’s work, most efficient? Suppose that he rises between 7 and 8 in the morning and goes to bed about 11, when is he most fit for the execution of the problems of the day requiring th^j, application of brain power? The answer, according to recent investiga tions by an eminent psychologist, Is "between 10 and 11 a. m..’’ says Lon don Tit-Bits. On July the 2nd of this year, Mrs W. R. Handley of ^Tyrone left ialj that was mortal and went to the other side to meet her mother, who fell asleep years ago. To mourn her going, she leaves father, husband, tw|oi cjhildren, [four sisters and four‘ brothers, kinsmen and firends. She joined the Methodist church when a child, and afterwards moved her membership to the Tyrone Baptist church. When the summons came she had seen 34 summers. Ever she was a very incarnation of energetic life until the final sickness came to press the eyelids down still. To know her was to love her; she) was overly devoted to her family and loyal and loving, too, and of domestic life and loving and loyable mother, daughter, relative and friend. Her death came as a great surprise and grief to loved ones. Such is the subtle/monster—death- that goes up and down the earth as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour riding on every breeze Jand lurking in every flower. Surely our hearts are but a muf fled drum, beating its march to the tomb. Nineteen hundred (years) ago our Lord stood at the mouth of an i open grave, beside a rolled away stone, and a new life where death was not min gled in the glories of an Eastern morn ing, and- when John, the lone preacher of the cross,-stood in lonely exile in the Isle; of Patmos, a solitary gazer upon the mighty screts of the sacred cannon, He (Christ) whispered to His followers “I am He that liveth and was dead and behold I am alive for evermore.’’ We miss the voice of one we love; A precious form passed away To join the angel throne above In realms of endless day. MRS. J. B. WHITLOCK, MRS. L. W. MANN. August 5th,, 1922. Odd Marriage Customs. In all Slav weddings the bride, is fetched by the bridegroom, emblemat ic of, the time when his forebears car ried their mates away forcibly. At Albanian weddings it is correct for the bride to weep and show great reluct ance to leaviug home. The bride groom must present the bride with a handsome dress for the marriage, no matter what bis circumstances are, so that it is known by all the guests that the dress the btide is wearing shows the taste of the bridegroom. Have a Definite Purpose. The world will stand aside for the man who knows where he is going but will pay little attention to the man who is too plainly wandering. It is not the fault of the world but of the man if he finds his path obstructed. TO THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA: The following reply of Mr. Blalock to Mr. Brown’s suggestion of a joint debate explains itself. « August 17, 1922. Hon. J. J. Brown, Atlanta, Georgia. I My dear Sir: Your invitation to meet you in joint debate at points to be designated in the several Congresional districts, is respectfully declined. My observation for many years has been that joint debates between candidates for po litical offices change few, if any, votes, and serve almost without exception to emphasize factional political bitterness and strife. In order that there may be no misunderstanding, however, as to precisely what I have said in my various addresses, I have set forth, and reiterate the following charges: (1) That an economical, business-like administration of the Department of .Agriculture on your part, would have saved the taxpayers of Georgia at least two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000.) per annum, with much more efficient service; (2) That when the Legislature passed a resolution, requiring you to submit a list of employees, giving their names, salaries and expense accounts, you employed an Auditor to make this list, at an expense to the State of three hundred and fifty dollars ($350,00), when one of your bookkeepers should have furnished this information. (3) That you employed a State Senator, who. was Chairman of the Agricultural Com mittee of the Senate, at a salary of three thousand dollars ($3,000.00) per annum, and ex penses ; (^) That the Chairman of the Agricultural Committee of the House of Representa tives; has two .brothers-in-law on your payroll, as well as himself; (5) That you appointed an Assistant Clerk of the House of Representatives at a salary of three thousand dollars ($3,000.00) per annum, and'expenses; (6) That during the month of July, 1922, you paid your fertilizer inspectors in sala ries and expenses, the amount of three thousand, three hundred and nine dollars and twelve cents ($3,309.12), when there was practically no fertilizer to inspect: (7) That five; members of your family are on your payroll; beginning with yourself, at a salary of five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) per annum, and expenses; one son, BEE INSPEC TOR, at one thousand eight hundred dollars ($1,800.00) per annum, and expenses; another son, a student at Tech High School, at a salary of four hundred and eighty dollars ($480) per annum; still another son, at a salary of one hundred and thirty-five dolars ($135.00) per month; also a nephew, whoi is recorded as drawing a salary of ‘two thousand, four hun dred dollars ($2,400.00) per annum; (8) That you have six negro porters on your payroll, drawing as high as eighty-five ($85.00) dollars per month salary, when other departments in the State Capitol pay their ne gro porters only fifty dollars (50.00) per month; (9) That a number of your oil inspectors, after a conference in Atlanta, sent out a notice, calling upon all employees of your Department, to send a check for five per cent (5%) of their salaries for one year, as a campaign fund; (10) That you sent out a letter to your inspectors to “see” their representatives and sen ators before jthey left home for the Capitol, as it meant something to them personally; (11) That of five hundred and eighty employees, approximately seventy (70) of them are from Atlanta; (12) That your advice to the farmers of the State of Georgia in 1920 to hold their cot ton for above forty cents (40c) has cost the farmers of Georgia many millions of dollars. I note from your letter your statement that you “emphatically and bitterly” deny these charges. I am not to blame either for your emphasis or your bitterness. The charge I have made in my speeches are true, if the statement furnished the Legislature by you, under a /resolution j>f the House of Representatives, is correct and to be relied upon. % Respectfully, REPORT 1922 CAMP Boy Scouts at Lee’s Mill August 7 to 14. Cash Collected for Camp Public - - - Boy Scouts $29 AO 30.73 Total Total expenses -$60.13 - 50.16 Balance on hand - $9.97 Twenty-two Scouts had signed up for the camp and each one of that number spent at least one day and night in camp. We had 21 at one roll call, and 20 for almost the en tire time. Iodine was in great demand for mi nor cuts and bruises, but only one real serious accident occurred during the' meeting. _ William Mitchell had a bruised eye, due to some carelessness, and a little to much rough play at night. Theron Beadles won first honors as’ the best fisherman. Harry Travis and Fred Jackson came next in order named. Everybody in camp had a turn as assistant cook, and their folks should let them prove their skill at home. The “daily program” was “followed as closely as possible without the aid of the trained leaders expected to vis it and help the troops with -work. Quite a number of parents visited the camp and others , sent fruit and provisions. Mr. R. T. Alen of Riverdale gave the boys a bushel of apples and a large jug of cider. Mr. Paul Ellington gave a basket of apples and hauled a load of lame Scouts to camp from Beth any Sunday school. Mr. George Kel ly gave a load of fine watermelons and tomatoes. Mr./ Tom Lamb made several trips up and always brought something to eat with him. Dr. G. W. Wallis and Scout Committeeman C. L. Foote also visited the camp. Much credit for the success of the camp was due to the arrangement of the tents and camp stove by assistant Scout Master Paul Mullins, who, to the regret of all, had to return home the second day on account of illness. F. B. Brown Co. and J. W. Kitchens Co. went to considerable trouble to supply rations for the boys. Postman A. J. Dixon kept the line ofi communication with our base open. Paul Vollenweider, George Gary, C. B. Lewis and others of the older boys endered good service in helping car ry out the program. Thanks to (all contributors. Respectfully, W. W. ALLEN, Acting Scout Master. ANNOUNCEMENTS MR. A. O. BLALOCK Announces Himself as a Candidate for Commis sioner of Agriculture Against J. J. Brown, In cumbent.

A. 0. BLALOCK. MRS. PRESTON SENOR DIES At Fitzgerald Saturday Morning; Funeral Was Held at Fayetteville Baptist Church Sunday Afternoon. Mrs. Preston Senor, of Fitzgerald, died suddenly Saturday morning after an opeartion at the hospital in Fitz gerald. Mrs. Senor will be remember- among her friends as Miss Laurian Laster of Fayetteville, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. J. A. Lester, and the June bride of but a year ago, having mar- ied Mr. Preston Senor at the close his school year after his receiving his law degree at Oglethorpe Univer sity, having previously graduated at Georgia Tech, receiving his A. B. De- ee at that place. Mrs. Senor was beloved of all and a charming young bride, a talented mu sician and social leader, among the younger set. Her talent was npt given to society alone, but being an estab lished Christian, as the delight of her wended their way to the church and last resting place where multitudes of friends had assembled and with sweet songs and words of condolence and benediction followed by the hand clasp of sympathy with bereavement, there lingers still the perfume of a sweet life that HAS PASSED AWAY. church and its organizations because of her willingness to render service with her talent of song and in the teaching department of her Sunday school, whenever dpportunity present ed itself. One of Mrs. Senor’s favorite songs, “My Desire,” will be remembered by all who knew her as an emotional inspiration from her life, as when deeply moved, seemingly spiritually animated, she would softly and tender ly sings: “I want to live where Jesus lives, I want to do what Jesus does; I want to testify for Him, That I’m a child of His.” Dr. and Mrs. Lester had been in Fitzgerald with their daughter for sev eral days during her sickness and re turned Sunday morning with Mr. Pres ton Senor and his parents, saddened in heart where the friends who were in waiting and together all wended their way to the home that had but so short time ago been so full of happi ness in the wedding joys, now a place of mourning. In the late hour of evening the little party of close relatives and friends Colorful Weddings in Saxony. In Saxony the men wear a special weddinj? dress that looks like a kimono, well trimmed in front and on the cuffs, a soft collar «nd bow tie, and on their broad-brimmed hats they have bouquets of living flowers. The brides have long handkerchiefs, and they appear to have borrowed their mother’s best tablecloth with which to decorate their waists. Hon. A. O. Blalock. Scent Is Distributed. It is true that we associate scent with the flowers and; occasionally, with the leaves of plants. But nature, so marvelously loving of diversity, scatters the sweetness, now here, now there, sometimes in the flower, some times In the leaf, in the fruit, the bark, the wood and even in the roots. In the ginger and the iris, for in stance, the perfumed oils are In the roots, in the sandal tree the fragrance is In the wood, in the cinnamon shrub it is the bark that scents the air.—■ Columbus Dispatch.
