ASKS VOTERS TO SUPPORT
MR. MAYFIELD IN PRIMARY
I wish to say a few words to
you in regard the candidacy of
Mr. C. N. Mayfield who is a can
didate for the office of tax cbl
lector.
Charlie is a moral young man
and of a worthy character, one
whom I believe that the county
would apprecite as collector—one
w T ho is worthy of public trust and
I feel assured that the county
wouldn’t make a mistake in the
act of promoting him to the of
fice of which he now aspires.
And again I will say that he is
of such character that he would
treat you with the same courtesy
after the election that he did
prior, or even that he is doing
now though you were to elect
another one.
Charlie is fully competent to
perform the duties of the office
which he is asking at your hands
both satisfactory to you and the
law.
Last, I will say that he is
afflicted and has been for the
past five years, probably hasn’t
walked a step in half of that
time or longer. He has to go
from different apartments of his
home in a rolling chair. Now
dear voter, how can a man thus
afflicted do manual labor, either
to support himself or his dear
companion? Yet, by the parent
al care and love of a dear father
and mother, such as you have for
your own dear children, or .that
your .parents had for you, they
still have a home. By giving
him the office he can help support
his f&mily. Why not give it to
the one who is most needy and
worthy of the same?
So dear voter think of your
self in this condition, with a dear
companion to support, would you
not feel like asking something at
the hands of the people, asking
for something which is honorable
and in an honorable way, asking
for something that you are to
give to some that are asking for
St now?
So upon the first day of April
I ask you to give the office to
Charlie N. Mayfield.
Written by one who is support
ing him and will vote for him on
that day.
FOR TAX RECEIVER.
In the race for tax receiver
this year we have a peculiar cir
cumstance.
There are several comparative
ly speaking, young men asking
for the nomination. I know them
nil ’personally and they are
worthy gentlemen and I am a
friend to each one of them, and
it is a commendable aspiration
they have to serve their county
and better their condition by
asking the suffrage of their fel
' low citizens.
Among them in • this race for
tax receiver we see the name of
one old veteran, Mr. P. M. B.
Wells who is asking for the
place his first time, and very
probably his last time. What
shall we do about it?
Any of us has a perfect right
to run for an office if w r e want it
and get it if we can. If we get
beat we can wait until next time
and run again, but can Mr. Wells
do that? He might be able to
run next time, but he doesn’t
think he will. Do you think so?
Who was it that said, ‘‘We
should put some flowers on the
veterans head as well as his
grave?” Of course I have no
right nor desire to dictate how
anybody should vote, and I am
not trying to do so, but as for me
I must ask my friends to excuse
me this time. I have known
Mr. Wells thirty years. I knew
him when he had an afflicted
child, with whom he spent many
sleepless nights after having
done a hard days work, which
days work together with many
like it had gone for doctors’ bills
and medicines for the suffering
one, who after years of expecta
tion and suspense, was finally
put away among the sleeping
ones by the loving care and bat
tle scarred hands of a devoted
father who had fought the “Reap
er” and lost, even as the cause
to which he had devoted the
years of his young manhood, had
been temporily lost.
Some of the older citizens tell
me that during reconstruction
days there was an election held
in the old Hitchins building,
which was recently torn down on
the McCord Corner, and that ne
groes were filing under Yankee
bayonets and voting while some
white men were denied the oppor
tunity. Mr. Wells looked on a
while and his war spirit arose in
him, he drew out an old horse
pistol about two feet long and
demanded the bayonets with
drawn. There were a number of
those who wore the gray found
weapons among their old clothes
and approved of Mr. Wells sug
gestion. The blue coats, having
had about four years acquaintance
with the kind of men around
them, decided that the bayonets
were no longer necessary. The
election went white and this
county has been a white man’s
county ever since.
I have no ill will for any one
in this race, but when a man who
has virtually created a govern
ment asks only once, for a little
position in it, the only way I can
satisfy my conscience about the
matter, as far as my vote will go,
is to give it to him.
Respectfully,
N. J. Harmon.
WORK ONINTERURBAN ROAD
MAY BEGIN AGAIN SOON
Encouraging reports continue
to bob up every once in a while
to show that there is still life in
the Atlanta, Griffin and Macon
Interurban railroad. The fact is,
that the plan is so feasible and
plausible that it would take a
whole lot more than has already
happened to make the News and
Sun believe that it will not soon
be built.
The latest news is from the
company that proposes to furnish
the power to run the road —not
the. money power, but the elec
tric power.
This is the Bibb Power Cos.,
which now runs the matchless
water power on the Oconee river
two miles from Milledgeville, and
is getting ready to commence the
actual work of development.
The money panic in New York
delayed the company several
months, their financial bankers
having been either affected or
frightened temporarily.
The company now makes pub
lic announcement of their future
plans in which they state that
the development of the power at
Long Shoals, also owned by it,
will be completed first, this pow
er to be used in operating an
electric railroad from Atlanta to
Macon and Albany.
When this work is well under
way the men will go to Milledge
ville and develop about ten to
twenty thousand horse power
there. The power will be sold
for industrial purposes, and that
which cannot be disposed of
here will be transferred by wire
to Savannah, a distance of 148
miles, and placed on the market
there.
The company says it can sell
this electric power in Savannah
at S2O per horse power per year.
The estimated cost of steam pow
er is SIOO per horse power per
year. Griffin News.
A SURPRISE MARRIAGE.
Hiss Mabel Lee Hobbs and Hr.
J. C. Goodson Married.
Sunday night last Miss Mabel
Lee Hobbs of Dexter, was united
in marriage to Mr. J. C. Goodson
of Atlanta.
The marriage was a great sur
prise, and was performed at the
residence of Mr. R. C. Hogan at
Dexter, Rev. G. W. Tharpe of
Macon officiating. Just a few
friends were present.
The bride is a daughter of
Judge A. L. Hobbs of Dexter,
and a sister of Mr. J. D. Hobbs,
a member of the firm of Hobbs,
•Baggett & Son, of this city. She
is a beautiful young woman, and
the youngest daughter of Judge
and Mrs. Hobbs.
Mr. Goodson is connected with
the Central railroad, and runs on
the passenger between Atlanta
and Savannah. He is a rising
young man, and has a host of
friends.
The bride and groom passed
through the city this morning on
their way to Atlanta, where they
will make their future home.
The friends of the happy young
couple wish them many years of
happy married life—Dublin Times
of March 3.

Plain Talks on Fertilizers
How to Get the Greatest Possible Yield per Acre
It is a well-known
scientific fact that in
order to produce the
very greatest possible
yield from any soil it
must contain an actual
excess over and above
all demands that can
possibly be made on it
by the plants.
Many farmers will feed their
stock as much nourishing food
as they can possibly assimi
late, yet will starve their crops
on the mistaken notion that
tlfey are “economizing” on fer
tilizer. The experiences of
farmers, government experts,
ggggg
developed to the utmost.
The economy in fertilizers
is not in the amount used but
in the ratio of quality to cost.
Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers
are the best in the
world for the least
money. More than
one million tons were

and agricultur
alists every

the fact that
plants, like ani
mals, need the
fullest possible
amount of nour

they can obtain
