Boost the best county in the state. The various candidates are not a bit bashful about their claims. They do say that “Bunk” Cooper threatens to carry a county! The weather is mighty hot for j the candidates to be coming down the home stretch. T. W. Hardwick’s opposition to the parcels post will lose him thousands of votes. Commerce is next to Valdosta in the per capita wealth of its citizens. It is first in hospitality, j Little Joe stands for the su premacy of the law. That is a mighty good platform for any candidate. The announcement of Judge C.. L. Bartlett, made this week, will! add interest to an already excit-; ing campaign. With watermelon and camp meeting time on hand the people j up here in God’s country will be j well entertained for the next few; weeks. While Rufe Hutchens is not saying much he is sawing wood right along and when all the votes are counted he is going to surprise somebody. If talk is worth anything Judge Nat Harris is a sure winner. He is waging an active campaign and though the oldest man in the race he is covering a lot of terri tory. Butts county has already be gun preparations for a fair to be held this fall in the city of Jack son. We are sorry that Jasper county can not do likewise.— Monticello News. It is too bad that *‘5500,000,000 is available for immediate use,” but that your Uncle Reuben can’t get a cent of it until it trickles down through the various chan nels, costing him the same old rate. Why shouldn’t the farmer be able to borrow money as cheap as any other class? That ‘‘l want your vote but not your note” letter promises to make history before the chapter is closed. Biennial sessions of the legisla ture, four year terms for officers and the salary system will im prove things in Georgia wonder fully. The state is afflicted with too much politics, too many poli ticians and demagogues. More important to the people of Butts county than the sena torial, gubernatorial or any other campaign is the election of the proper man for representative and senator from this district. Jasper county is still fighting to have the boundary line between Butts and Jasper changed. In case the line is changed it will mean a heavy financial loss to the citizens here. The people of Butts ought to elect her very best men to the House and Sen ate, for thev have a man-sized job ahead of them.

VanDeventer conducted the services and inter ment was in the Pepperton cem etery. In their sorrow the family have the sympathy of their friends. Rather sell my goods than move them. Taylor. State Politics Has Strong Hold on People. Macon County Citizen: ‘‘‘Lit tle Joe’ has a very strong hold on the affections of the people and has the confidence of many thou sands of the voters, especially in the rural districts. These have always given him their support, and they will do so again. This is a vote which does not make a loud demonstration until election day. ’ * One Sure Winner. Hawkinsville Dispatch and News: “While there is a diver sity of opinion as to who will be the successful candidates for oth er offices, every one admits that Judge Nat Harris has a strong lead for governor and is sure to be elected.” Can’t Find the Opposition. Waycross Journal: “We un derstand,” says the Dublin Cou rier, “that the biggest trouble Hoke Smith’s campaign mana gers are having just now is the job of locating the opposition.” Little Joe Some Runner. Greensporo Herald - Journal: “Little Joe can outrun anything except a cucumber vine.” No Money on Farm Property. Macon Telegraph: “Much of the boasting about ‘Rural Cred its,’ ‘Loans to Farmers,’ etc., were punctured in Atlanta a few days ago when four different banks refused to loan money on ‘farm property’ without regard to collateral.” The Light Is Breaking. Greensboro Herald - Journal: “The great and immortal truth is beginning to bore its way into the knot on the top-end ef some people’s neck that ‘Little Joe’ is going to be elected.” Where Is Rube? Macon Telegraph: “Rube Ar nold is awfully quiet during the present campaign. Is he still istening for the master’s voice?” Go to see Taylor, he will make you some good prices as he had rather sell his goods than move them. PLENTY OF FRUIT FINOS WAY TO CITY MARKETS Atlanta, Ga., July 30. —This has truly been a season of plenty so far the watermelon, peach and canteloupe crop has been con cerned.
