Our COALS BLUE GUM JELLICO CLIMAX and MONTEVALLO JACKSON BATTLE OF BALLOTS WILL BE WAGED ON TUESDAY THE 23 (Concluded from page 1) have two votes in the convention. Second in interest to the guber natorial race is that for congress. Here in the sixth there are five candidates in the field, Congress man Chas. Bartlett, Judge J. J. Flynt, Judge John P. Ross, Hon. 0. H. B. Bloodworth J. F. Red ding. It is the general opinion over the district that this will be a very close race. Another race that is causing a great deal of interest locally is that representative from Butts county. The incumbent, Hon. J. Matt McMichael, has matched a gainst him Col. J. Threatt Moore the brilliant young attorney and eloquent orator. The friends of the two candidates are confident of victory for their favorites. The judgeship of the Flint cii - cuit is being sought by Judge R. T. Daniel of Griffin and Judge E. F. Dupree of Zebuion. The indi cations point to a close contest in this race. This is the first time county school commissioners have ever been elected by the people. The present commissioner, C. S. Mad dox, is opposed by Col. 0. M. Duke of Flovilla and Mayor H. M. Fletcher of Jackson. People acquainted vith county politics say this three-cornered race for county school commissioner is go ing to be a hard fought and excit ing affair. Voters should remember that they are required to vote in the district in which they live. This is an important point that ought to be kept in mind by every voter that wants to register his con victions at the ballot box. Persons who have moved from one district to another since reg istering can be trasferred to the district of their present residence. It is important that the full reg istered vote turn out on the day of the primary. It is thought there will be little trouble along this line, however, as the issues are clear cut and the people are thoroughly interested. The official ballot is a long one. The following candidates are to be voted for by the people of this county: OFFICAL BALLOT democratic PRIMARY, tues- DAY AUGUST 23, !•: For Governor ' (Vote for One) JOSEPH M.

WRITES ABOUT THE BIG GAMP MEETING Mr. Editor: Will you give me space in your valuable columns to say a few words about the Holi ness camp meeting that is now in progress near Indian Springs? I attend it more or less each year since its location in our county. It was convenient for me to at tend the first meeting this year. I saw Charlie Tillman place his piano and heard his first song, 'Lord Revive Us.” I have heard their two preachers in charge of this meeting, Huff and Dunaway. Mr. Huff spoke eloquently and forcibly and clearly on last Sun day on sanctification and holiness. Wednesday night the 17 Mr. Dun away preached a sermon on evil habits and conduct, which if per sisted in would destroy govern ment and damn souls. It was con vincing. Say reader, did you ev er think how proud the people of this community ought to be of that annual camp meeting and how thankful we ought to be of the people that built the taberna cle and what the incentive that prompts them to attend each year? It looks to me like a ten day religious love feast and their spirit is prayer, song and godly talk. Idon’tknow where and what sort of a place heaven is. If all be true that I have heard it should be the greatest desire of eyery person to reach heaven and the camp meeting seems to be a place to help you on the way. I like it because there is no bars around it. Everybody can come. Those that wish to make a start or those on the way can be re plenished regardless of their re ligious faith. A hvpocrites j may be around there, but from j conduct, facial expression and I sacrifice they are out of their place it appears to me. They are j civilzers and merciful. I note when wayward men and j boys violate not only their rules : but the state laws they are for- j given if they are sorry and prom ise to do so no more. They are the only people who have ever shown a disposition to give the county more than they expected in return. They last year bought a piece of land near the camp ground for a college site. So lit tle interest was manifested by ; the people of the county they a-, bandoned or deferred the building for the present. If they should j decide to build it I will be one of five men to in the county thatj will give $200.00 for its erection. It is now la. ra., so goodbye. R. W. MAYS.
