Vote the straight Democratic bal
lot.
Why not leave all the “peace notes”
to General Foch?
Vote the ticket of your fathers —
let Georgia go solidly Democratic
in next Tuesday’s election.
Butts county vuent over the top
with a great burst of patriotism.
.There was glory enough for all.
The independent candidates will get
hut little comfort out of the vote on
next Tuesday. Georgia is Democratic
to the core.
Butts county citizens bought Lib
erty Bonds as an investment. Now
lets back up the United War Work
campaign for the sheer joy of giving.
Between the Spanish “flu,” short
power and other disadvantages, is
suing a weekly newspaper is not
what it’s cracked up to be in the sto
ry books.
Let’s roll up a splendid majority
for the Democratic nominees in the
election next Tuesday. Let this be
our answer to the independents and
sore-heads.
See that you get hold of the Dem
ocratic ballot and that you cast your
ticket for the regular nominees of
the party. The independent candi
dates deserve no consideration at the
hands of Georgia voters.
The official ballot for the election
next week is literally a “yard long.
In addition to the regular nominees,
all the constitutional amendments
are to be voted on, and all of these
on one ticket makes the official bal
lot one of considerable length.
It is to be hoped that the voters
©f Georgia will ratify the various
constitutional amendments in the
election next Tuesday. Some of these
amendments are very important and
as the state has been put to the ex
pense to advertise the amendments
the voters should do their part by
giving them the necessary vote.
Prof. W. R. Lanier, former super
intendent of the Jackson public
schools, is now one of the editors of
the Dublin Tribune. Messrs. Hilton
and Lanier will give the people of
Laurens county one of the best and
most ably edited weekly papers in
the state.
EXEMPTING COLLEGE ENDOW
MENTS
Amoriß the constitutional amend
ment* to be voted on next Tuesday
is one exempting: from taxation col
lege endowments. The Progress-Ar
gus has been requested to call at
tention to this proposed amendment
to the State Constitution, which
would exempt from taxation the en
dowments of Georgia institutions of
learning.
This matter has been before the
people of Georgia for a number of
years and the general assembly has
given the voters an opportunity to
settle the question once for all. Ad
vocates of tax free endowments
claim the present system is a tax on
education and progress. The state,
they point out, will make rapid pro
gress along educational lines if col
lege endowments are not taxed.
The matter is one of wide interest
to the people of the state and the
result of the vote will be followed
with keen interest.
THE JACKSON PRC*;RESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1918
LET’S SETTLE THIS QUESTION
For a score of years Georgia has
been ililicted every election year
with a set of republican a nd inde
pendent candidates against the regu
lar party nominees. This year one
Mr. G. H. Williams, of Lauren s coun
ty, is an independent candidate
against Hon. W. J. Harris, the nomi
nee of the Democratic party. Mr.
Williams is running because the cot
ton market did not go to suit him.
A drop in the market lost 'Mr. Wil-
several thousand dollars, he
claims, and he is running as an in
dependent republican) candidate to
even up matters.
The voter s of Georgia should bury
Williams beneath an avalanche of
ballots. He should be made to feel
just what the Democrats of Georgia
think about men who run as inde
pendents against the regular nomi
nees of the party. Now is a mighty
good time to show Williams and the
other candidates what the loyal and
tried Democrats of Georgia think of
such tactics. There is no better time
to bury these independents than in
the election next week.
The boys in France must be back
ed up and supported and the best
way to show you are behind the men
in the trenches is vote solidly for the
Democratic nominees.
TWO INVESTMENTS
By this time everybody is agreed
that Liberty Bonds offer one of the
safest investments on earth. When
you put your money in Liberty Bonds
you are investing in a gilt edge se
curity—one that is backed by every
resource of the government.
An investment equally sound is
the War Work Fund, which the peo
ple art called upon to provide for
the men in the camps in this country
and in the trenches over there. True,
this is a gift pure and simple. It is a
gift to provide the men with the
cheer, the comforts, the home touch
and to make camp life as home like
as possible. An investment that will
keep the men cheerful, smiling and
in love with their work, is an invest
ment worth while. It is an invest
ment that those of us left at home
cannot afford not to make.
This campaign will open in a few
days. Butts county citizens are ask
ed for only a few. thousand dollars
to carry on this great work. The
amount is so small and the work so
worthy, that it is hoped there will be
a cheerful anl liberal response—just
as there was to the Liberty Bond
drive. Let’s be prepared to invest
liberally and readily.
THE MAN WHO BOUGHT BONDS
Every man who bought a Liberty
Bond is proud of it. Every man who
did not buy a Liberty Bond is asham
ed of it. One answered his country’s
call; the other did not. And when
the boys get back from France the
financial slackers will be known and
pointed out. —Jackson Progress-Ar
gus.
There is no question about it, the
average man who bought bonds is
taking pride in the part he played in
making a success of the nation’s gi
gantic achievement in successfully
floating the Fourth Liberty Loan.—
Augusta Chronicle.
POLITICS NEVER ADJOURN
At this time the indications are
that Hon. J. J. Flynt, senator from
the Twenty-sixth district, embracing
the counties of Butts, Fayette and
Spalding, will be elected as president
of the next Georgia state senate.
Judge Flynt was unanimously en
dorsed for that position by the dis
trich convention which met in Griffin

The public hardly gets out of one
phase of the political strife before
we get into others, and frequently
it is a case that is hard to decide,
but the surprising thing about poli
tics is that part in which the people
themselves are involved as voters,
but most generally they come out
all right.—Augusta Chronicle.
ON TO BERLIN!
(Manufacturers Record, Baltimore,
October, 24, 1918
By REV. WM. H. HUDNUT,
Pastor First Presbyterian Church,
Youngstown, Ohio
It will cost you dear to continue
To fight on till freedom is won;
It will take all the manhood that’s in
you
To wipe up the ground with the
Hun.
There are many who would pause
with half measures,
Would halt the offensive half won,
Would squander no more of our treas
ures,
Would parley peace terms with the
Hun.
Why add to the roll of the wounded?
Why lengthen the lists of the dead
When the fair fields of France are
now mounded
With the graves of our men who
have bled?
But we seek not peace that is barter
ed,
We’re the Wrath of God against
Sin.
Surrender’s the penalty chartered;
World Peace must.be signed in Ber
lin.
We’ve millions more men for the bat
tle,
.We’ve billions more gold that we’ll
pay—
Enough of this peace parley prattle,
For judgment we fight and wepray.
