ROOSEVELT. HAS FIRED
HIS OPENING GUN AT
G. O. P. NOMINEE
He Lauds The Progressive Thought Of
i The Country, And Takes Issue
With Republicans
Chicago.—Franklin D. Roosevelt,
Democratic candidate for vice presi
dent, has opened his campaign.
Before a crowd of three thousand
at the auditorium theater here, he
urged Republicans and Independents
to join the Democrats in support of
the platform adopted at the San Fran
cisco convention, and of the ticket
nominated there.
He'told the Republicans their party
had been split by a quarrel among
th eleaders, and the faction represent
ed by Senator Harding was the “old
guard” which Theodore Roosevelt op
posed. Addressing himself particular
ly <o those who are not Democrats, Mr.
Roosevelt said:
“The day is past when it is either
popular or useful to damn everybody
and everything connected with the op
position.
“The Republican leaders, however,
show no signs of having taken to heart
the drastic lesson taught at that time,"
he told the big audience.
Seven hundred women were given
the places of honor on the stage.
HOLD YOUR COTTON
COM. BROWN ADVISES
.“Stop the bear raid by holding your
cotton;” is the advice to Georgia farm
ers by J. J. Brown, commissioner of
agriculture, in u statement issued Sat
urday. #
In the past few weeks the price has
declined about fifty dollars a bale, as
the commissioner points out, ‘‘yet cot
ton manufactured products are selliug
to the consumer at prices which yield
si tremendous profit on the basis of
forty-five cents.”
"The decline has been caused.” be
says, ‘‘by speculative estimates of a
14,000,000-bale crop.” He asserts with
great emphasis that there is no foun
dation for any such extravagant pre
dictions as to the size of the crop. He
warns the hear speculators that the
farmers “will refuse to sell the con
sumers of raw cotton a single bale un
less they and the speculators show a
•disposition to be fair and give the
farmer a square deal.”
In this connection he calls attention
to the facts .that the cotton acreage
and price reduction committee of the
American Cotton Association will hold
a meeting in Montgomery on Septem
ber"!-?., for the purpose of recommend
ing to the farmers a price to he served
.as a minimum in marketing their forth
coming crop. AS chairman of this
committee. Commissioner Brown urges
the producers to sell no cotton,un:il
the committee has announced a price
■' He declared the cost of producing
this year's crop has been more than
thirty cents a pound.
While railroads are increasing
freight rates and prices are being in
creased in all other lines, including

nothing for the farmer to do bu! star and

DRAFT DODGERS
TO GET PUBLICITY
DRAFT DODGERS WILL BE PUB
LISHED TO THE WORLD. SO
THEY MAY BE KNOWN
DESERTERS NUMBER 173,931
It Will Fall On All, Rich And Poor,
Alike, And Interesting Disclosures
Are Arfticipated
Washington.—Less than one per cenl
of more than two million four hun
dred thousand men who registered un
der the selective service act during
the war have been chargeable
with willful desertion, according tc
an announcement issued by the war de
partment. The actual figure is 173,-
931 against whom desertion charges
have been recorded, and this repre
seats, the statement says, a “tremen
dous improvement over the draft rec
ord o£ the Civil war.”
The department will soon make pub
lie the names of those branded as de
serters and the statement adds that
the government “desires to obtain the
co-operation of the various state and
local officials, patriotic societies and
other agencies, including the depart
ment of justice, in bringing about the
apprehension of these men.”
Pending publication of the list, the
statement continues, any man charged
with desertion may avoid arrest by sur
rendering at the nearest army post,
where his case can be investigated and
his status determined. If his record is
cleared, his name will be omitted from
the deserter list when it is made pub
lie. Those in doubt as to their sta
tus are urged to address inquiries to
the adjutant general of the army.
The list for publication was com
piled after local boards had been in
tructed to segregate and send to Wash
ington records of all men classed as
draft deserters during the war period.
A total of 459.003 records were for
warded, but on examination at the
war department it was shown that
163,000 of these dealt with cases dis
posed of during the war. They includ
ed registrants who enlisted voluntarily
and failed to notify their draft board;
men who failed to report -when drafted,
because of Ignorance, and who subse
quently reported at the camps for
duty; few men discharged as physi
cally unfit and some convicted of de
sertion during the war and registrants
who died between the time they re
ceived their call to the-colors and the
date on which they were ordered to
report.
The records in 151,000 other cases
also show that willful desertion could
net be charged against the men, and
they were eliminated from the list.
• The war department wishes it clear
ly understood that men who are guil
ty of willful! desertion will' not be re
lieved of t|Pe consequences of their
misconduct? nor will they be discharg
ed because they write to the adjutant
general on the army and request their
discharge,” the statement says.
It adds that because of the tremen
dous expense which would be incurred
payment of the SSO reward for appre
hension of draft deserters has been
temporarily suspended and the task oi
rounding them- up left for the present
to the patriotism of the nation.
Holy Roller Creed Fails To Save Baby
Fort Payne. Ala.—Reports reached
here from Sand Mountain that indig
nant mountaineers are threatening to
lynch members of the Hoiy Roller con
gregation there, following the death of
a baby which had been bitten by a
rattlesnake during a seance at the
church one night recently. It is also
reported that the father of the child
was bitten at the same time and is
expected to die. An effort was made
to secure a physician here after the
child’s condition had become known,
but, due to a terrific storm that was
prevailing, he was unable to reach the
mountain in time to save the child,
which died in terrible agony. It is al
leged to be one of the tenets of the
Holy Roller (Church of God) sect that
their members are immune from the
fangs of poisonous reptiles, and rattle
snakes are said to play a prominent
part in their services, especially dur
ing revivals. They claim to speak in
unknown tongues, and the exhorters
engage in many unusual contortions
and incantations.

cure. Doan’s Kidney Pills have brought

Winder evidence of tlieir merit.
E. O. Foster, weaver, Middle street
says: “I was so bad with kidney
trouble that if 1 would bend over I
could hardly straighten up, the pains
in my back were so severe. My head
ached something awful and it felt as
if there were a weight on my kidneys.
The worst trouble I” had was the way
my kidneys acted, as I had to get up
several times during the night on this
account. One of the family advised
me to take Doan’s Kidney Pills, so

WHY YOU SHOULD
TRADE WITH US
I.*ut on second thought we will let our cus
tomers tell you why they trade with us—why they
NEVER QUIT trading with us. Just ask any
one of them the next time you meet them.
But in the meantime do a little trading with
us yourself—find out for yourself—do a good
turn to yourself.
Everybody knows what we sell—dry goods,
flour and feed, in fact, a little of everything that*
is needed in this community. Nearly everybody
knows what close prices we make and what a
superior line of goods we handle. But we want
all other people to know these things, and to
appreciate the advantages of trading with us.
We are confidently looking for you to give
us a trial order or two, in orde to demonstrate
the truth of our statements.
