Three cheers for Wilson!
Wonder if Teddy’s heard the
news?
California is a national Democrat
ic hero.
Wall Street died hard—but is
mighty dead.
Wilson and Democracy—that’s all
—and enough.
Try giving your home town a
boost and it will boost you.
Let off steam and giv<* a rousing
cheer for Woodrow Wilson.
Help those who help you—in other
words, patronize home institutions.
The one-gall us voters of the South
and West sire on top for four more
years.
A large cotton crop next year is
just as sure as President Wilson’s
election.
Georgia was right there with the
lick in giving Wilson a tremendous
majority.
The news was slow in coming in,
hut it was so darn Democratic when
it did trickle through.
The voters showed that they fa
vor Wilson, Peace, Progress, Pros
perity and Preparedness.
Democrats throughout the coun
trycan celebrate Thanksgiving this
year with grateful hearts.
Houston county pulled down first
prize of SI,OOO at the State Fair.
Houston deserved to win.
This is exactly the right time to
begin working for the 1917 session
of the Butts County Fair.
New York, Pennsylvania, Massa
chusetts and Illinois have lost their
cunning in electing a president.
The election over, now get busy
working for your home community.
That pays better than elections.
If you arc not trading with home
merchants you are missing a lot of
bargains and failing to do your plain
duty.
Hughes refused to congratulate
W ilson, which is convincing proof
that Hughes isn’t big enough to be
president.
Twenty-four states, half of the to
tal number in the Union, are now
dry. Prohibition is marching right
along these days.
The strike in Atlanta seems to be
a right sore spot. It is about the
toughest proposition the Atlanta
Spirit has ever been up against.
Several papers did a considerable
bit of lying about printing the "first
news” of Wilson’s election. But un
the circumstances they are excus
able.
What we call rolling in wealth is
to be able to own a few bales of Sea
Island cotton. The Bulloch Times
notes the fact that three bales of
cotton, together with the seed, were
sold in Statesboro for $1106.98. $316
and $319, respectively. Can you beat
it? Sea Island cotton is now 50 cents
per pound.
The South and West is anew po
litical dynasty that will have to be
reckoned with in future years. They
saved the day for Democracy this
year.
The spaed limit ought to be en
forced in the city of Jackson three
hundred and sixty-five days in ■ the
year. This is a town ordinance that
should be observed.
The Republican-Progressive tick
et didn’t get up much steam in
Georgia this year. Mr. Dorsey was
given a majority that ought to make
him feel mighty good.
Butts county again made a fine
showing at the State Fair. The old
county is coming to the front in an
agricultural way. Now for the great
1917 Butts County Fair.
Loyal Democrats and public spir
ited Georgians contributed about
$25,000 to the Wilson campaign
fund. Georgians are never behind in
doing their duty by the party.
Roscoe Pickett, Republican can
didate for governor, can sympathize
with Hughes. Hugh Dorsey was given
an overwhelming vote for governor.
Both Pickett and Hughes also ran.
Georgia Products Day will be very
generally observed throughout the
state this year. If somebody will be
kind enough to bring a basket of
products we will take care of the
rest.
President Wilson’s popular vote,
more than eight million, is the larg
est ever given a president of the
United Stoates. The women voters
of twelve states helped to swell his
majority.
The attendance at the State Fair
was approximately 145,000, the
largest in the history of the fair.
The Macon Fair is undoubtedly a
paying proposition. Announcement
has just been made that the earn
ings of the Southeastern Fair in At
lanta were about $25,000. This is
encouraging and shows that the
Butts County Fair can be made a
popular success.
The movement to build a feed
mill in Jackson should meet with
general encouragement and sup
port. The farmers of Middle
Georgia are threatened with an in
vasion of the boll weevil next sea
son, but before corn, oats, wheat,
peanuts, sorghum and similar crops
can be raised successfully there
must be a cash market provided for
these crops. A feed mill will go a
long way towards solving this prob
lem.

The high price of cotton is not an
unmixed blessing. Everything else is
going out of sight and cotton is not
really high in proportion to the high
cost of living.
Prohibition may prohibit but
it hasn’t taken the shine out of
moonshine.
“They do more than
please your taste —
That’s why Chesterfields are like a
good cup of coffee—they taste fine and,
in addition, they satisfy /
But, besides letting you know you’ve
been smoking, Chesterfields are MILD,
too!
Chesterfield is the one cigarette that
can give you this new delight (satisfy, yet
mild), because no cigarette maker can
copy the Chesterfield blend— an entirely new
combination of tobaccos and the greatest
advance in cigarette blending in 20 years. %
