SIGN YOUR NAME
Every now and then it be
comes necessary to reject articles
sent in for publication because
they are not signed. Correspon
dents and all others who
write for publication will please
remember that they must sign
their names. This does not mean
that your names will be inserted
in the paper, if you do not want
it done, but is simply to protect
the paper. Unsigned articles will
receive no attention. If you do
not think enough of what you
write to sign yopr name to it we
will not think enough of it to pay
any attention to such manu
scripts. 7-3-tf.
One source of consolation is
that the primary is not quite a
month off.
There will be something doing
politically every minute from now
te the 19 of August.
With Tom Watson and Hugh
Dorsey on the stump how can it
be dull times in Georgia?
Than Dr. L. G. Hardman no
cleaner man has ever offered for
the governorship of Georgia.
The man who said politics
would not get hot this year sim
ply misunderstood the question.
It seems to be a case of Slaton
against the field. If they want
to beat him they will have to con
centrate.
North Georgia editors are mis
taken. South Georgia editors
are mistaken. God’s country is
right herein Middle Georgia.
If Joe Brown is elected senator
it will be by the vote of the far
mers and those living in the
small towns. This has always
been his stronghold and so will
it be this year.
Many an editor will find it hard
to get down to work this week
after having been so royally en
tertained in Commerce. Athens,
Tallulah, and Clayton during the
press meeting.
The voters have a perfect right
to know how all candidates stand
on all local and state issues. As
a rule the people are too easily
satisfied, waiting until the candi
date is nominated before finding
out his policies. Make them un
bosom themselves.
“Know Georgia first,” ought
to be the slogan of every native
son. North Georgia has some of
the prettiest scenery to be found
in the world, barring none. That
section when properly advertised
w’ill be the mecca for thousands
of tourists.
Atlanta is destined to be a
great educational center. The
last stroke was the winning of
the Methodist University to
which Asa G. Candler gave
$1,000,000. This followed close
ly Oglethorpe university, the
Presbyterian school. These with
other institutions and Georgia
Tech places Atlanta in the fore
front of educational advance
ment.
Commerce more than made
good in her entertainment of the
Georgia Weekly Press Associa
tion. The citizens of that pretty
and enterprising city certainly
know how to entertain. Com
merce is a good town, in a good
county and the people are known
far and wide for their hospitality.
The recent meeting of the press
association was probably the
most successful ever held.
It is a disgrace to Georgia that
the politics of the state are map
ped out, dictated and run by a
corporal's guard of Atlanta poli
ticians. Their program is going
to be badly splintered this year.
When it comes to backbone Lit
tle Joe Brown has more of it than
any man in the state. The pro
gram of political “peace” left
Mr. Brown out of it, but he is
going to knock down several
play houses before the thing is
over.

State Politics
The Greatest Work.
The Lawrenceville News Her
ald views it this way:
“When Governor Slaton induc
ed the legislature to save Geor
gia by enacting the tax law he
did the greatest work any public
man has accomplished for the
state in half a century.
“The attack made upon it by
the demagogues and dodgers has
signally failed, while the honest
men and women of our grand old
commonwealth are singing his
praises.”
Still On The Job.
Cordele Dispatch: The eleventh
good reason why we are for Gov
ernor Slaton for the Senate is be
cause he did not resign the gov
ernorship but held to the office to
which the people had elected him
and is attending to its duties at
the capitol, and not running over
the state making political speech
es.”
Slaton Has The Lead.
The Thomasville News says:
“Very few impartial men in
the state will deny that Slaton
has a substantial lead in the race
for the senate.”
No Line Up.
Waycross Journal: “We do not
believe, in fact we know that
there is no line between Slaton
and Brown, or between Slaton
and Smith, or between Slaton
and any other candidate, or be
tween Hoke Smith and any other
candidate for any office.”
Wants Another Party.
Vidalia Advance: The truth is,
the presence of a few thousand
Republican voters in Georgia
would be a good thing for Geor
gia Democracy. Democrats of the
state do not appreciate the pri
mary. If we had enough Re
publican voters it would force us
to put up a more limited and
determined fight. As it now is,
factional fights within the party
are disgraceful. Republican op
position would unite our people
and make us appreciate a real
primary election law.”
Good Drawing Card.
Moultrie Observer: “The peo
ple seem to be enjoying the sen
atorial race. Hardwiek is a fine
performer, and John R. Cooper
is said to give an entertainment
that is a perfect scream.”
County Unit Rule.
Athens Banner; “The county
unit rule in Georgia will never
be overturned. It is the correct
rule and the people of the state
will back it up now and in the
future.”
Candidates Capture Kimball.
DeKalb New Era: It is said
that a drummer went to the Kim
ball House the other day and
asked for a room and was told
that the entire house was let to
candidates for headquarters or to
their managers and friends. It
looks like the man who can carry
the Kimball house ought to be
elected.
Wants Rover Taxed.
Covington News: The taxing
of dogs seems to have been for
gotten entirely in the state of
Georgia since the original dog

law was passed and repealed.
Two fine mules and a cow were
bitten in Newton county near
Mansfield last week by a worth
less dog. If the owner of this
dog had to pay tax on him the
dog would have been disposed of
and the males and cow would
have served better. We love a

on them. Worthless dogs are
the ones that go mad; the dogs
