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.

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.
