DP. MAYS ANNOUNCES
FOR GENERAL ASSEMBLY
States Platform in Card to
Butts County Voters
Dr. R. W. Mays is a candidate
for Representative from Butts
county in the primary of Sept.
12, his announcement being priv
-6n out this week. Dr. Mays is
one of the county’s wealthiest
and best known citizens and will
no doubt receive strong support in
the present contest. In all prob
ability the race will be between
Dr. Mays and Representative C
A. Towle3. who is a candidate to
succeed himself, and a lively and
hotly contested campaign is pre
dicted. Dr. Mays’ card is as fol
folows:
“Mr Editor: Citizens of Butts
county have solicited me person
ally and bv letter to permit my
name to appear on the ballot to
be cast at the primary on 12th of
Sept., next, as a suitable person
to represent the county in the
next general assembly. A ma
jority of the voters have not so
licited me. but the number and
reasons given cause me to give
their plea consideration, after
which I consented for my name
to appear on the ticket. I will
appreciate it if a sufficient num
ber of the voters will join my so
licitors in allowing my name to
remain on ticket in a number
sufficient to nominate me and if
done, I will devote my energy,
strength and ability of body and
mind to .the best interests of the
county and state.
“Mv views were expressed two
years ago as to the imperfections
of the equalizing tax act. I don’t
charge Butts county equalizing
board with any favoritism, but
it is permissible; the act also al
lows about 600 appointive county
officers, virtually fixing their own
salary. Such law appears to be
on the line of despotism. There
are many other matters pertain
ing to state legislation that need
attention. There is too much
time and thought given as to how
to raise money, and not enough
as to how it should be disbursed.

“Since the adoption of the pub
lic road system and the use of
convict labor, both of which I ap
prove, has increased the business
and expense of the county to an
extent that justifies several com
missioners. which could be done
without adding very little, if any
more expense, to the countv.

HAVEYOU WEAK LUNGS?
Do colds settle oil your chest or in your
bronchial tubes? Do coughs hang on, or
are you subject to throat troubles?
Such troubles should have immediate
treatment with the strengthening powers
of Scott's Emulsion to guard against
consumption which so easily follows.
Scott’s Emulsion contains pure cod liver
oil which peculiarly strengthens the res
piratory tract and improves the quality of
the blood; the glycerine in it soothes and
heals the tender membranes of the throat.
Scott’s is prescribed by the best special
ists. You can get it at any drug store.

MAODOX FAMILY REUNION
WAS PLEASANT OCCASION
On the 271 h of August my better half
and I were invited to the Khug Mad
dox family reunion. We were there a
year ago, but this time we found one
vacant chair. But around it still lin
gers sweet memories. There still stands
the old homestead with its fine orchard,
garden and fine shade trees. Across
the hills aft' the fine fields of green corn
and under the wagon shelter are stored
bales of cotton of the last year’s crop.
From the veranda can be seen a green,
grassy dell, where the child loves to
play, and fine cattle and mules brows
ing on it, and on its hill sides are the
primaeval oaks, where the stock rest
in their shadows.
At 12 o’clock under the old white o*k
a fine dinner was spread and the bar
beeued shoal, loaf bred and grand
mother’s cake were some of the things
I gave special attention to.
William Long and Edmond Hay
were there and we talked of other days
of our youth. There is nothing in this
world that will beat an occasion like this
where we meet old friends and live in
the years that are gone The day was
happily spent in mixing and mingling
with the old folks and the young folks
and when the whispering soft winds
came up gently from the sea and as the
sun began to dip his wings into the
unknown, %ve took leave of this happy
family and wendefi our way to the
Wren’s Nest Farm.

ging and the remedy is to sys
tematize the expenses.
“This card is directed to every
voter. If we agree, stand by me,
if not, strike me.
“Yours with respect,
"R. W. MAYS.”
