Pig, better, best -the Butts County Fair. If you want to vote for a win ner pick Governor Harris. The moqsuito also believes in advertising, hut wish he didn’t Have you a little candidate for the judgeship of the court of ap peals in your town? What has become of the old fashioned candidate who didn’t claim his election by a landslide? An Atlanta woman shot an At lanta captain, in Macon. The trouble doesn’t appear to have been over moving the capital. Didn’t really know Georgia had so many fine lawyers until an op portunity came to vote for three additional judges of the Court of Appeals. Now that cotton is going up wouldn’t it he a good idea for you to pay up and get your slate clear for another year? The pay up idea is a great thing. When a political campaign gets to the lemonade, barbecue stage we tkae it that things are pick ing up right along. Some of the candidates are thus tempting the wily voter. If the worst comes to the worst and the strike is really declared we trust President Wilson will call on the vvhittlers and loafers, who so well know how to run the government. The fact that Governor Harris made fifteen speeches in six days nails the charge that he is too old to be governor. At the wind up he didn’t complain of his throat or other infirmities, either. Uncle Samuel, our own great national government, is one of the chief space grafters. The army and the navy, the postoffice, the internal revenue, health and bureau and scores of other em ployees, are all paid for their services. But your Uncle Sammie wants the weekly newspapers to do a lot of publicity for the glory there is in it. The government ought really to be ashamed of it self. But everybody else rides the newspapers and Uncle Sam probably thinks he has a right to do it, too. Governor Harris has the bits in his teeth and is running strong. The tide has turned in favor of the old war horse and his nomination is practically as sured. The sound common sense of the voters is asserting itself and (lovernor Harris will get his second term. If the voters are going to elect governor every solicitor who did his du'y we have figured that Georgia will have asmany govern ors as Brigham Young had wives. Every solicitor in Georgia that we ever heard of was hon est. brave and eouropeous. When Judge Searcv gets a whiskey seller before him, the way he imposes a sentence is highly satisfactory to the friends of prohibition. Straight chain gang sentences will come nearer breaking up the liquor traffic than anything yet tried. Platforms are made to catch votes. The man who can pull the most wool over the people’s eves is likely to get the votes. Plain lying, deceit, appeals to passion and prejudice, tricks of all kind sre resorted to by some of the candidates. When will old man people get his eyes open to the truth? It will be a pleasure for Butts county friends to support the Hon. 0. H. B. Bloodworth, of Forsyth, for a place on the Court of Appeals. He was formerly solicitor general of this circuit, is well and wholesomely known to the people here and will be ac corded a loyal support. Mr. Bloodworth is expected to be one of the serious contenders for this office. It is significant that such pa pers as the Macon Telegraph, Macon News, Augusta Chronicle, Atlanta Georgian, Athens Ban ner, Dalton Citizen, Waycross Herald-Journal, Hawkinsv ill e News-Dispatch, Swainesboro Forest Blade, Laurens Citizen, Cochran Journal, Bulloch Times, Elberton Star, and scores of oth ers, are supporting Governor Harris for re-election. The vo ters of Georgia owe Governor Harris a moral obligation—a second term. The people of the state, as a whole, are reasonable and fair and when they realize that it is their duty to support Governor Harris for a second term thev will do it. s- j£QT HIP 7 ' For Sprains, Lameness, j.
