POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS

in the Democratic primary, Septem
ber 8, subject to regulations adopted
by congressional committee. It has
been the custom in the sixth district
t.e give a congressman one term
without opposition. 1 submit my
candidacy to the voters of the dis
trict.
SAM RUTHERFORD
Tor judge superior court
To The Voters of The Flint Judical
Circuit:
I hereby announce my candidacy
for judge of the superior court sub
ject to the regulations governing
the Democratic Primary election to
be hold September 8.
An endorsment by the people will
be a great honor which I shall ap
preciate.
Respectfully,
G. OGDEN PERSONS.
FOR STATE SENATOR
I hereby announce as a candidate
for State Senator from this district
subject to tlie rules and results of
the primary to be held in Septem
ber. Your vote and support will be
appreciated.
The subject of good roads is up
permost in the public mind at the
present time and changes are being
suggested, advocated, and some may
in the end prevail. Butts county
is unfortunately situated it seems,
since none of the theories advanced
thus far include Butts in the calcu
lations. This is a gross injustice to
our county as we see it but can
only be remedied at the time any
proposed changes are enacted into
law. After the law is passed ik
will then be too late. 1 writ to be
there when and before any law is
passed for the purpose of seeing to
it that Butts county is not left out.
My experience, alliances and affili
ation with those who will surely di
reet any and all measures along
this line, assures you of a voice that
can and will be heard and results
that will give Butts her due share
of the state’s bounty in the estab
lishment and maintenance of publi
roads. This is no idle political ges
ture but a plain statement of the
situation and one that is so real that
x could not refrain from telling you
about it.
If you vote for and elect me I
promise you that you will get your
full deserts and that in all calcula
tions hereafter,, instead of Butts
being left out of the reckonings, she
will be among the first considered.
J. O. GASTON
FOR STATE SENATOR

Permit me to say this in this con
nection. 1 have an experience of
four years in the lower house, that

is or will be of service to the coun
ty or state and that my conduct
both private and official did not
reflect a discredit on your county
i and state 1 am prepared to say to

THE JACKSON NATIONAL BANK
JACKSON, GEORGIA
THE ONLY NATIONAL BANK IN BUTTS COUNTY
COL. DUKE DISCUSSES BUTTS
COUNTY’S COMMISSIONER Bill
Editor Progress-Argus: While pre
paring an article for a law journal on
freak legislation, I accidentally ran
across the Act of 1925 of the Geor
gia Legislature, creating a Board of
Commissioners of Roads and Reven
ues for Butts County. It might be of
interest to your readers to know
some of the things enacted by the
legislature as the organic law of
Butts County, Georgia. For the bene
fit of the lawyers I refer to Acts of
the Georgia Legislature of 1925,
page 565. The act in section four
provides that if any persons shall vio
late its provisions that he shall be
punished or fine dwithin the discre
tion of the judge having jurisdiction
of Butts county. My law Journal
correspondent wants to know if this
would give the judge authority to
electrocute the defendant and furth
er he wants to know which judge,
whether the judge of the superior
court, the probate court or a justice
of the peace, if he should decide
to have mercy and fine him then how
much could he fine him. On these
subjects the act’s only limitation is
the discretion of the judge and we
well know that some judges have no
discretion.
In section six the acts provides
that for a person to be eligible to
hold the office of county commission
er he must be twenty-five years of
age, shall be a freeh older and of
good monU character. My corres
pondent wants to know when it was
that the people of Georgia amended
their constitution and disqualified
men and women who did not own
land from holding public office. A
man might own a million dollars
worth of personal property and un
der this act he would be disfranchis
ed from holding this office. How did
the representative for Butts reach
the conclusion, that because a man
did not own a few acres of hill
sides and gullies, he should be dis
franchised from being elected com
missioner. though a majority of the
people voted for him? Are we going
to cease to stand for manhood and
womanhood in government and es
tablish a landed aristocracy, such as
Russia was before the revolution?
Will the next step be, to disfran
chise all from voting except those
who own land? If the land owners
are going to hold all the offices, then
as a matter of right should they not
pay all the taxes? Why is not a God
fearing renter entitled to as many
rights, in the land of the free and
the home of the brave as a land
lord? Do we exempt him from paying'
taxes or from shedding his blood in
the defense of the country? The •
principle of class distinction is perni
cious and is prohibited by the organic
law of the state.
FRIDAY, JULY 16. 19,5
Section seventeen provides that tin
election shall be held by the execs
tive committee of Butts county.
This is the first time I ever knei
that Butts county had an executive
committee. Political parties, churches,
lodges, boards of bank directors at:
such institutions often have a com
mittee known as the executive com
mittee but no county in Georgia ha
an executive committee.
If he means a political exc-utive
committee, then which one? Then
are two such committees in the
county and quite a number of them
are renters. Then the question arises
can you hold an election at all for
the reason this section is in con
flict with the general law of the
state on the subject of holding elec
tions and the constitution ordaiffl
that no special or local law cai
alter, vary or change a general h-
So, Mr. Editor, indefending th
act to my foreign correspondent
have quite a number of questions!
1 answer, which are hard indeed. Cop
you get the author of this law s
answer some of them in your nest
