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.

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 ip# and agricultur alists every where confirm the fact that plants, like ani mals, need the fullest possible amount of nour ishment that they can obtain if they are to be DR.
