Love, joy, peace, longsuffering,

According to our way of calculat

big piece of cornbread right along

One account paid the dentist, lets
him pay the dry goods denier so he
can pay the grocer, so the grocer

When asked by a fellow passenger
why, after spending millions of dol

would we be tomorrow at this time
if we took the engine off the train?”

Here's a combination that will put
any county in the forefront: Good
churches, good schools and good
roads.—Hartwell Sun.
The sooner the above is realized

combination is essential to the other
and when linked together success is
sure to follow.—Monticello News.

Saw a car pass through the other
day occupied by a man and his wife,
the latter holding a baby in her
arms. On the running board, turn
ed bottom up, was the baby's cra
dle, the rockers forming a kind of
fence to keep a goat in that looked
curiously about as the car sped on
ward. You see some rare sights in
these days of automobiles, —and
bobbed hair.
“FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH”
Big weddings are always full of
thrills to me. There’s always an ap
peal and a sweetness about them
that no other occasion brings. There
is a tenderness, too, and a note of
pathos that touches all of us no mat
ter how gay the surroundings and
how light-hearted the laugh of the
invited guest. For it IS a solemn
and serious time and though we may
all predict nothing but happiness,
and good luck, the years to come
may be fought with dangers unseen,
and the long days that are to be
lived together will have to be blended
harmoniously out of love, and disap
pointments, joys and happiness. I
think this feeling and these thoughts
all come to the friends and relatives
at weddings. And it is with a great
deal of sympathy and love thrown
in from friends, that married life
begins for the new couple.
This summer has seen many beau
tiful weddings, and the out-door ones
have been the prettiest. Notably,
the Candler wedding, and the Yow-
Adams wedding in our neighboring
town, Lavonia. Both were spec
tacular affairs, beautiful in the ex
treme and sweet because of the par
ticipants who were popular and lov
ed. Both were elaborately planned
and carried out, but underlying all
the magnificence of splendor, and
the perfectly matched surroundings,
there was an air, too, of simplicity
and naturalness that took away the
stiffness and formality. Just picture
the Yow-Adams wedding, yourself.
When Mary Faith married. We
arrived late. Cars parked on every
side on both sides of Hartwell road.
We finally get a parking place. Then
into the grounds. A beautiful lawn
with clusters of lights strung here
and there. Paved walks leading to
hidden nooks. And trees and a
green velvet of grass to walk upon.
The throng of guests already arriv
ed. The late-comers hastily arriv
ing. Beautifully gowned matrons
and smartly dressed girls. Men—,
tired business men, in stiff-collars,
and black suits. A few in dress
suits. The buzz of light conversa
tion and light laughter. Expectancy.
Tenseness. Waiting. A trip to the
punch bowl. Where there is always
a crowd. And then the orchestra
takes its place at one end of the
piazza, partly hidden because of
palms and decorations. Silence. We
all gather near. A song (as per
usual) by a soloist —, a woman. “A
voice in the night.” And then-—,
the wedding march. And the bride,
radiantly beautiful, comes slowly for
ward, graceful and stately as be
comes Mary Faith. The ceremony.
The hushed silence as we listen to
every word. And it’s all over and
we rush forward to congratulate.
Once more a carefree crowd and
the chatter and noise of excited folk.
The orchestra launches into light
music. Jazz. The dance begins.
Everyone dances, or looks on. Wed
ding cake. A little box of it to

Next Monday is the first; the peo
ple you owe need their money on
the first so they can pay those they

owe, —see how it goes? If you

you tie up the paying of many ac
counts on the first.

I wn offering for re-election as a
member of the Georgia Public Service
Commission. My candidacy is. I be
lieve, Justified by the service I have
rendered the people of Georgia in the
performance of public duties with
which you have entrusted me.
Tn this day of specialization, the ex
perlenced man Is better qualified to
render efficient service to his em
ployer or to his constituents than one
who has had no training in a partic
ular line, whether in the service of
an individual or in the service of the
people, and the experience I have gain
ed during this tnv first term of office
has better qualified me to serve the
people of the State than one who has
not had the opportunity to consider

By E.8.8.,Jr.
“dream over.” And all the while a
full moon, shedding a stream of
suffused, mellow light looks down in
complete harmony, giving a solemn
promise of years of perfect happi
ness to the lovers. A full moon,
whose light casts a radiance over the
beauty assembled, filtering gently
and alluringly through the trees on
all sides. What girl WOULDN’T
want a big wedding.
Vacation days soon will be over.
A swiftly passing summer soon will
turn into winter and real work for
most of us will begin. The call of
“Fore” will soon be discarded for the
call of “Dough,” or the serious at
tempt to make it. And many of us
will leave home. Not for good, of
course, but temporarily—, for the
winter season. I don’t want to ever
get to the place where I think I’m
leaving Hartwell for good. Many
of our boys and girls will be leaving
for college, some to resume their
work, others to enter upon their
new life. I wish that I might take
each by the hand and help them a
bit. I wish that I might be able to
make each believe, that in spite of
home-sickness and disappointments,
and the burden of hard studies, and
a thousand other things not under
stood now, that education IS worth
while and that in after years each
will be thoroughly thankful for it.
Four years in college is worth all
the money any boy or girl may put
in it—yea, a thousand times more,
provided one takes advantage of this
opportunity.

And the atmosphere of a college
town and the surroundings is, in it
self an education. Athens, for in
stance. I was there a few days ago
and the old place seemed alive with
memories. Memories of ten years
ago when I was in college. Athens
with its old, cultured families and
its aristocracy. Not of money but
of blood. Its beautiful homes and
its shaded streets. The town hasn’t
changed much. Old Milledge ave
nue is the same as ever. The street
of the Hodgsons, Phinizys, Wilkin
sons, Hoopers, Mortons and others.
Lucy Cobb, that select school where
strict rules prevail and fair maids
dream over “Ga.” boys that they are
unable to meet. Costas’. Everybody’s
hangout. Used to be a mighty good
place to slip a note to some Lucy
Cobb girl, when they made their
weekly pilgrimage to town. Pro
vided the chaperone isn’t looking.
Mike Costa, all the Costas—, they
are all 100 per cent for Athens and
“Ga.’ Old “Ga.” itself, with its
winding paths and its campus right
in the midst of town. Sadly in need
of hew buildings but patiently going
on from year to year building men
out of boys and kindling the fires of
ambition. On around Athens. The
fraternity homes and their comrade
ship. The State Normal School.
Prince avenue. Just to live in Ath
ens would be an education, outside
of college studies.

Remember Sunday school here
next Sunday afternoon at 2:30.
and study the matters that come be
fore the Public Service Commission.
A large majority of the people of
Georgia are either actively engaged in
farming or depend upon agriculture
for their livelihood and prosperity and
I have found that .many of the ques
tions the Public Service Commission
is called upon to consider directly af
fect the farmer. Farming has been
my business and more of my life has
been devoted to this industry than
to any other. In addition to practical
agricultural experience I have served
as Commissioner of Agriculture and
Director of the Georgia Experiment
Station and in both of these positions
my time has been given to the study
of agriculture and my efforts have
been devoted to doing what 1 could
to advance the Interests of the farm
ers, believing that the progress of the
State and of the Nation depends upon
their prosperity. I am the only dirt
farmer on the commission.
Tn view of my practical knowledge
and the experience gained in my one
term in office as a member of the
Public Service Commission. 1 believe
I know the needs of the farming com
munities. especially, and that I am
qualified to administer the offfice in
the interest of all the people of the
State equitably and justly and fairly.
The platform upon which I stand in
my candidacy for re-election and to
which I expect to stick, if elected, is:
In matters coming before me for con
sideration, to do justice between all
'-’asses and to administer the office in
a wav to effect the greatest possible
good for all of our citisens and insofar
as in me lies to conduct the office so
as to footer and promote a greater
Georgia for us all.
I pledge my continued and unwav
ering efforts to serve you. if re-elect
ed. and will appreciate your support at
the Democratic white primary on Sep
tember 19th.
