For Representative
To the Voters of Hart County
Having stated through this paper
that my formal announcement would
appear later for the State Legis
lature, I respectfully announce my
self a candidate of Hart county, sub
ject to the democratic primary, which
will be held in the 10th day of Sep
tember, 1924.
I shall stand upon the following
measures and principles to become
a law:
Whenever a candidate offers for
office, if he or she should trade or
swap off, either the candidates them
selves or through their friends, di
rectly or indirectly, during their can
didacy or campaign either in pri
maries or vacancies <jr otherwise in
order to win, such person or persons
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
I am in favor of good roads, but
it should be done with less discrim
ination. The County Board ought
to change the plan or system to make
the work more general over the
county. The Board ought to consist
of three strong members of finance
to meet at their convenience and one
Commissioner elected by a vote of
the people; said change not to be
made until ratified by a majority vote
of the people at some general elec
tion to save the expense of holding
the election for that purpose. This
plan or system would meet an equit
able and just demand of the tax
out by the finance board should be
pavers throughout the county.
I favor all contracts made or let
done at public out-cry before the
court house door and supplies pur
chased for the county should be done
likewise at a certain per cent. The
secret bids should be done awaj 7 with
and a monthly report to the home
paper of the financial standing.
I favor reduction in taxes, but
not to be inconsistent bj' asking for
more bonds that will increase more
taxes. f
I favor a cut price in automobile
tag tax. and the tags to be purchas
ed at the court house of each coun
ty in the State.
I want to do my utmost to help
regulate the book trust companies.
I favor free school books to chil
dren, provided the parents will make
affidavit that they 7 have not the mon
ey nor cannot obtain it io buy text
books.
I want to help regulate the Geor
gia law of proceedure of comdemna
tion of property. Too much confis
cation of money and property 7 and
no punishment to the violator of
the whiskey laws.
I favor each and everj' member
of the legislature, while attending
the General Assembly shall make a
full report everj 7 w 7 eek to the local
Papers of his home county, whether
he has been attending the legisla
ture sessions and how he voted on
all important measures.
I am opposed to political manipu
lations, creating rings, cliques, mak
ing slates to defeat the wishes of
the people.
I shall appreciate the support and
influence of each and every voter in
she county. Respectfully,
J. A. McDUFF.

Arthur Train’s novel, which ap
peared in Scribners and then was
published in book form, caused a
decided furore when it appeared last
year and naturally the announcement
that it would be made into a pic
ture has caused a great deal of in
terest. Now 7 that it is here, there’s
no denying that a great many peo
ple are going to be attracted to see
it and it’s safe to assume that the
vast majority of these people are
going to be very well satisfied with
Director Sam Wood’s handling of
the subject. There was an amazing
amount of detail in the book and al
though some situations w 7 ere touched
upon very lightly, nothing seems to
have been forgotten.

a matchless contribution to Ameri

Myers Reunion
One of the largest family reunions
ever held in Hart county was that
of the descendents of the late Hon.
William Myers at the Hartwell
Campground on Friday, August 15,
when some 400 to 500 kinspeople,
young and old, from far and near,
gathered to spend the day at this
historic spot.
Early last Friday morning the
families began arriving, and by noon
the grounds were so full of Myers
and others that it looked as if
campmeeting was in session. .
At the noort hour a feast that
surpassed, perhaps, any reunion din
ner previously spread in Hart coun
ty, was spread under the trees.
Mr. T. Mahlon Myers, who was
largely instrumental in getting up
the reunion, was master of ceremon
ies, and handled the events of the
day in splendid style.
Speakers included Judge Walter
L. Hodges, Hon. Steve Skelton, and
Mrs. Hodges, all of whom paid tri
bute to the memory of the late Wm.
Myers, who was for many years one
of Hart county’s leading citizens.
They spoke of the contribution this
family generally had made to the
progress of Hart county, and of the
high place the descendents of Wil
liam Myers occupy now in the af
fairs of our county.
Hon. Wm. Myers was born in
Edgefield county, S. C., moving to
this vicinity in early manhood. He
was the first sheriff of Hart county
and represented the county twice in
the General Assembly.
He was a member of the Sardis
Baptist church, where his remains
now rest.
