RAPS COMMITTEE FOR
FIXING EARLY PRIMARY
Editor Progress-Argus:—A good
many voters think the action of the
Executive Committee was premature
in fixing the time of the primary at
such an early date, and in the midst
of such a busy season. Until the com
mittee met and aranged for a prima
ry on June 4 there had been practi
cally no dicussion or agitation of
county politics, so far as we had
lieard. The term of office of both our
commissioner and representative does
not expire until January Ist, and
there had been no announcements
Tor either office, except one for rep
resentative, and the announced can
didate was not canvassing or making
an active campaign so far as we had
lieard.
We have heard quite a number of
voters say they are at a loss to know
what influence induced our Execu
tive Commitee to precipitate a polit
ical campaign upon the people of the
county while we are in the midst of
the cotton chopping and grain har
vesting season. A good many of us
can see no good reason why this nom
ination could not have been held on
the same date as that fixed by law
Tor state officers. We understand the
law says the nomination for represen
tative shall be on September 11 in
connection vuith the nomination for
governor, U. S. senator and other
state officers. It certainly would have
made it much less expensive to the
candidates for commissioner in con
nection with that for state officers.
Dr. Mays has given notice that he
intends to introduce a bill at the com
in session of the legislature to change
the law to three commissioners. We
helieve that a majority of the voters
of the county are in favor of three
commissioners and if the Doctor will
have a bill passed giving three com
missioners to be elected by the voters
of the county we believe it will meet
with general approval. To settle the
question of whether the people want
one or three commissioners the bill
ought to have a referendum clause
submitting it to the voters foT ratifi
catoin.
In view of the fact that the Doctor
Is going to try to make some change
in the law, what aspirant would want
to pay $75.00 to enter the race and

THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, MAY 24, 1918
go to the trouble to canvas the coun
ty for an office that is likely to be
abolished by the legislature before his
term of office begins. It would put
the successful candidate for commis
sioner in a position where to hold his
office he would have to fight Dr. Mays’
bill in the legislature, in face of the
fact that a majority of the people
want a change to three. We don’t be
liev there would be many candidates
for commissioner who would like to
be placed in that attitude.
As the next session of the legisla
ture will have adjourned long before
the terms of our commissioner and
representative expires we believe the
wise thing for our Executive Commit
tee to do is to meet and reconsider its
action and defer this primary until it
is seen what the legislature will do, or
at least until a more leisure season
in July or August.

HOT DRINKS FOR
TIRED FIGHTERS
The Red Cross Rolling
Canteen.
In six months the American Red
Cross supplied a million French pollus
with hot ccffee, tea, chocolate, bouillon,
at the time they needed it most —just
as they were entering the communica
tion trenches for a tour of duty under
boche fire or coming out, tired and
worn, after their grueling vlglL If
you were dragging the tlredest pair
of feet in France through the mud,
and if you were greeted by a cheery
voice and a steaming pint of beef tea,
wouldn’t It be “a grand and glorious
fe.elin’? Oh, boy I”
Now, this Is the work of the “roll*
lng canteen," and some day a Kipling
will sing "the story of the tanks"—
tanks of broth and bouillon that ths
Red Cross "Special Front Line Bern
ice" trundles up to the lines. The
Military Sanitary Service supplies the
wagons and utensils. The Red Cross
unit does the work. It supplies these
hot drinks at a cost of 50 francs ($10)
per thousand men, a cent apiece 1
Think of that —the penny your little
girl sends the Red Cross can buy a big
hot cheering drink, a good natured
greeting, for a fighting man who des

Eugene Hale, brother of United

months with a rolling canteen in
France, and he says:
"While the men are glad to have the
hot drinks, their chief satisfaction con

them of a friend being there with a

Butts county, of which Mr. R. P.
Sasnett is chairman of War Savings
Activities, ranks 77th in the state.
The total quota of the county is $284,-
440, of which only $6,646 has been
sold. That is a per capita sale of
only 41 cents. During April the to
tal of War Savings Stamps and Thrift
Stamps sold amounted to $1,413.
Putnam county leads the state in
the sale of Btamps. With a quota of
$263,200, a total of $46,151 has been
sold, making the per capita quota
$3.33.
If Butts county is to go over the
top in the sale of War Savings and
Thrift tamps more enenergy and pep
will have to be shown and a more gen
eral spirit of co-operation.
