BERLIN OR BUST!
Buy a bond to set a sun to kill a
Hun.
“Unconditional surrender” is the
only terms for Germany.
When in doubt —buy Liberty Bonds
of course. Then go ahead.
The people of Butts county know
how to go over the top when they try.
Not yet too late to buy bonds. Any
time is a good time to buy Liberty
Bonds.
A hit dog hollers and Germany
i s doing some loud yelping just at
this time.
Buy bonds clear up to Saturday
night. It is never too late to buy
Liberty Bonds. 1
Germany ought to be made to take
the full count of ten before there is
any talk of peace.
Hit the Hun till he begs for peace.
Show the dirty murderers no quar
ter. Give ’em hell is our motto.
The man who beats the Hon. J. J.
Flynt for president of the senate will
know he has had a race on his hands.
Here’s hoping the farmers of Geir
gia have better luck with the oat
crop this season than they have had
for the past two winters.
Bea bond owner before the drive
closes. You will have something to
be proud of all your life and also a
safe and sound investment.
There are a lot of homes that have
Service Flags but no Liberty Bonds.
Do you feel right not to back up your
boy to the limit of your resources?
Of course the “flu” is worse in At
lanta than any other place. But in
this instance Atlanta is welcome to
all the credit she can get out of the
flu.
National prohibition for the dura
tion of the war does not begin until
the first of next July, but the weather
man seems to be confused on the
date.
For the first time in this vvir Ger
many is petting a sound thrashing.
The Americans, French, British and
Italians are giving the terrible Huns
no rest and it has made FYitz weak
at the stomach. On with the pood
work!
We are in favor of sending a dele
gation to wait on Prof. Snider and get
this weather business .straightened
eut. A fevi tree frogs might also help
to pet the weather person in a better
state of mind.
So Tom Watson and Governor Dor
sey have come to a parting of the
ways. The only surprise is that Wat
son didn’t “fail out” with Goveronor
Dorsey sooner. Of course all of us
knew it just had to come.
The world is being sorely tried
these days. Millions being kiled in
Europe; other thousands are losing
their lives in shipwrecks; forest fires
claimed a great toll; the Spanish in
fluenza is leaving a trail of death in
its wake: the drouth is seriously in
ferring with business and so the
story runs. Possibly a great blessing
and a spiritual awakening will come
from it all.
THE JACKSON PROGRES3-ARGU3, JACKSON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1918
CHAIRMAN HAM’S GOOD WORK
Butts county’s splendid showing in
the fourth Liberty Loan drive,
which far surpasses her efforts i nany
previous campaign, is due, in large
part, to the tireless energ yand de
termined effort of Chairman W. O.
Ham. The way in vdiich JVlr. Ham has
handled the entire campaign has been
the subject of favorable comment on
all sides.
Realizing at the outset that to
raise $189,150 was no small job, Mr.
Ham surrounded himself with some of
the best workers in the county. He
knew that one man could not “put
over” the work, and accordingly he
asked and received the co-operation
of all classes of citizens. Mr. Ham
was supported in a splendid way by
the various district chairmen, by the
general and special sales committees
and by patriotic individuals who had
no official connection with the drive.
Mr. Ham ha s done well. He put
his whole heart and every inch of his
ability and enthusiasm behind the
work. The people of the whole county
—with a few glaring exceptions—
have done good work. Butts county
has done her part splendidly, nobly
and patriotically.
J. J. FLYNT FOR PRESIDENT OF
THE SENATE
At this time the indications are
that Hon. J. J. Flynt, senator from
the twenty-sixth district, embracing
the counties of Butts, Spalding and
Fayette, will be elected as the next
president of the Georgia state senate.
Judge Flynt was unanimously endors
ed for that position by the district
convention which met in Griffin Sat
urday.
Judge Flynt has held that position
before. Has a ripe legislative expe
rience, is a parliamentarian of recog
nized ability, and as a presiding offic
er rules fairly a ndimpartially. He is
a man of sound views, unquestioned
loyalty and integrity, and as presi
dent of the senate would do credit to
the entire state.
Buts county citizens, who has al
ways supported Judge Flynt loyally
in the past, would be glad to see this
distinguished citizen elected to this
important office. And he can be elect
ed if the people of the twenty-sixth
district get behind his candidacy with
the true spirit and start now a deter
mined campaign.
Senator Flynt ag president of the
senate would be an honor that every
voter of the district should appreciate.
WATSON DENOUNCES PORSEY
(Greensboro Herald-Journal)
In a communication to the Augusta
Herald Thomas E. Watson—the man
who made Hugh Dorsey—denounces
him, and refers to Dorsey as “the
small gentleman.”
Watson says that Dorsey deputized
the state game warden to appoint the
delegates to the Macon convention
and the said game warden failed to
take care of Watsonin his appoint
ment of delegates. Watson says he
supported Dorsey to discharge the
duties of a governor and he should
have done it by appointing the dele
gates.
Watson says Dorsey was a guest of
honor at his right hand at the Kim
ball House—Belshazzar’s Feast—and
claims that Dorsey has turned against
him since that time.
The Sage of McDuffie says if Dor
sey is a gentleman he will tell the
public why he tusned against him
and alleged as a reason that he (Wat
son) had “cussed him out.” Watson
says as a gentleman Dorsey must
tell the public why he turned against
him.
Watson, in closing, said: “I am us
ed while I am useful and cast aside
when supposed to be down and out.”
His Excellency and the Sorrel Top
Statesman have split.
Dorsey i s figuring upon opposing
Hoke Smith for senator two years
hence, but with his “trail of blood
and hangman’s nooze” will be unable
to defeat “The Big Mogul.” However,
we hope some good man will enter as
a third candidate for the senatorial
berth.
Took Out Dreadful Soreness
When the kidneys are weakened or
overworked so that they fail to filter
and throw all impurities out of the
blood, the poison remains in the sys
tem and backache, soreness, lame
ness and rheumatic pains are likely to
develop. Mrs. David Henry, 65 S.
Lincoln Ave., Washington, N. J.
writes: “Foley Kidney Pills are doing
me much good, both my kidneys and
the rheumatism. They took all the
dreadful soreness out of my limbs.”
Carmichael Drug and Book Cos. adv.
I AM PUBLIC OPINION
All men fear me! I declare
that Uncle Sam shall not go to
his knees to beg you to buy his
bonds. That is no position for a
fighting man. But if you have
the money to buy and do not buy
I will make this No Man’s Land
for you!
I will judge you not by an al
legiance in mere words.
I will judge you not by your
mad cheers as our boys march
away to whatever fate may have
in store for them.
I will judge you not by the
warmth of the tears you shed ov
er the lists of the dead and injur
ed that come to us from time to
time.
I will judge you not by your
uncovered head and solemn mein
as our maimed in battle return to
our shores for loving care.
But, as wise as I am just, I will
judge you by the material aid
you will give to the fighting men
who are facing death that you
may live and move and have
your being in a world made safe.
1 warn you—don’t talk patriot
ism over here unless your money
is taking victory Over There.
I am public opinion! As I
judge all men stand or fall. Buy
Liberty Bonds.

Cincinnati Authority Tells
How to Dry up Any Corn
or Callus so it Lifts Right
Off
You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says
this Cincinnati authority, because a
few drops of freezone applied direct
ly on a tender, aching corn stops
soreness at once and soon the com
loosens so it can be lifted out, root
and all, without a bit of pain.
A quarter of an ounce of freezone
costs very little at any drug store,
but is sufficient to take off every
hard or soft com or callus. This
should be tried, as it is inexpensive
and is said not to inflame or even ir
ritate the surrounding tissues or skin.
If your wife wears high heels she
will be glad to know of this. advt
President Wilson can be depended
on to do the right thing with Germa
ny, and whatever action he takes in
regard to the peace talk he will be
backed up by the great majority of
patriotic Americans.
The people of this country are in
tensely patriotic. The great majori
ty of them do not want peace with
Germany at this time. They want to
see the war go on and on until the
Huns are conquered, their teeth pull
ed and otherwise rendered harmless.
It would be a crime against civil
ization—against the noble dead who
died in Liberty’s name—to make any
sort of peace before the Germans are
punished and made to suffer as they
have made others suffer. We are for
war unetil the Hun is beaten into the
dust.
Every man who bought a Liberty
Bond is proud of it. Every man who
did not buy a Liberty Bond is asha
med of it. One answered his coun
try’s call; the other did not. And
when the boys get back from France
the financial slackers will be known
and pointed out.
Coughed So He Couldn’t Sleep
Bronchial coughs, tickling in throat
and asthmatic spasms break one’s
rest and weaken one so that the sys
tem is run-down and serious sickness
may result. Enos Halbert, Paoli, Ind.,
writes: “I had a severe cold this fall
and coughed continually at night;
could hardly sleep. The first bottle of
Foley’s Honey and Tar relieved me,
entirely curing my cough.” It covers
irritated membranes with a healing
and soothing coating, looses phlegm
and clears air passages. Carmichael
Drug and Book Company, adv.
BERLIN OR BUST!
DR. CaHwell’s Syrup Pepsin has
proved more satisfactory than
any other laxative I have ever used. The other
members of my family also use it and we re
commend it highly.”

ATTENTION
If you have a son or husband
in France, in the Army or Na
vy and you want to him to
have a Christmas box, send
his name to R. VanDeventer,
Chairman Red Cross. Do it at
once. If you wait it will be
too late.
The Republicans will put out a full
state ticket for the November elect
ion. The G. 0. P. candidates will get
enough votes to score once or twice
and the state will then settle back to
normal conditions.
Before another cotton season rolls
around there should be some arrange
ments made to take care of ginning
in a more up-to-date fashion. Even
with the drought on conditions would
not be so bad if there were more gin
neries.

The German “peace offensive” did
untold harm to the Liberty Loan in
the United States. A great many
people had the idea that the war was
nearly over and that it was not nec
essary to buy bonds. Regardless of
the duration of the war—granting it
ends this week—the men in France
must be brought back home and it
will cost as muct to get them home as
it did to get them over there. But ap
parently, a lot of people “never
thought of that.”
