WILLIAMS URGES EVERY
DEMOCRAT IN EIGHTH
TO VOTE NOVEMBER 4
The law of Georgia requires candi
dates for electors to receive a majori
ty of the votes cast in the election
• in order to be elected. For this rea-
• son Democrats of this district and
■ State cannot afford to be idle. There
are three candidates in the field for
the presidency and the prospects are
that each of them (or their electors)
will receive a heavier vote than three
sets of electors have ever before re
ceived in Georgia. In all past elec
tions the Democratic electors have
obtained a majority of the votes cast.
This was true even when the negroes
were voting in large numbers, al
though there may have been a tend
ency, in those days, to wink at some
things that cannot be winked at now,
! This was especially true during and
' after the days of seconstruction.
Coolidge and LaFollette are going
i to receive a large number of votes in
. Georgia this year. They are going
to receive votes of men who have al
ways heretofore voted the Democratic
ticket.
The total vote polled in Georgia
in 1920 was 151,000 in round num
bers. The majority of these votes
were Democratic. But in 1920 there
were only two candidates for presi
dent that carried any of the states
or who had any chance to do so. It
is different this year. There are three
candidates and they are going to
make every vote count.
There are at least 250,000 eligible
voters in Georgia, but if only 150,000
of them vote, and Coolidge and La-
Follette obtain anything like the vote
i they are now expected to receive in
this state, it is doubtful if a majority
will be cast for Davis. Therefore,
the Democrats of Georgia have only
| a few days of real work ahead of
them—and it is no easy matter to
get the Democrats out to the polls.
Davis electors must receive more
votes than the combined vote of all
the other candidates otherwise they
will not be elected; then the matter
will have to go before a special ses
sion of the legislature which will
cost the state at least $25,000.00.
I am making this appeal to the
Democrats of Georgia and especially
to the Democrats of the Eighth Con
gressional District to get busy and
do everything possible to get out a
full Democratic vote on November
4th for John W. Davis and Charles
W. Bryan.

Democratic Elector for the Eighth
Congressional District of Georgia,

From Our Readers
Route 5 Tampa, Oct. 23, 1924.
Editors Hartwell Sun.
I have just returned from short
visit to Moorehaven. This little town
located on the southwest shore of
lake Okeechobee right in the heart of
the everglades, the richest spot of
land in the U. S. A., and possibly
in the world.
When I told Mahlon Myers that
this soil was worth ten dollars per
ton, he thought I had fallen from
grace, as we Methodists sometimes
do, and that I was lying; but I was
not at that time it was worth $12.50
per ton. It may be worth more or
less now. There is no change in the
soil it is just the same, but the price
of the fertilizer fluctuates, and as
I have bought none in six months, I
do not know just how much per
unit it is selling for. at the present
time. However here is the actual
analysis, if any of your readers are
interested let them figure it for
themselves.
Ammonia 3 per cent.
Lime 1-2 of 1 to 3 percent.
Phosphodus 1-2 of 1 per cent.
Potash 1-2 of 1 per cent.
Humus 30 per cent.
I’ll thank Meadow Jim to-write me
the present value of one ton.
Honestly I do not believe there is
another body of land in the U. S. A.,
or near it’s size that presents such
remarkable possibilities of develop
ment.
This soil is nothing but decayed
vegetable matters. Commencing on
I the outer edge of this vast body of
land it is but a thin vein, not thick

proach the center it grows deeper all
the way until we have a maximum
depth of 15 or 20 feet an average
I depth of sor 6 feet.- Os course this
I represents the accumulation of
| centuries.
| At one time this great lake, or
i most likely the sea, covered these
thousands of acres of rich muck
; lands.
This is shown beyond the possi
bility of doubt by the underlying
I strata of shell. At the present time
I splendid roads are being constructed
! in this section at very much less cost
than elsewhere in this state.
This is done by the great ditching
j machines, as the roads almost with
i out exception are located alongside
, lof ditches or canals, you can readily
i see that as the shell underlies the
muck that it is the last to be taken
up from the bottom of ditch and
therefore falls on top of the other

i a splendid road at a very low cost;
for mark you that ditch or canal is
absolutely necessary in order to farm
here. The truth is the matter of i

In Memory of Mother
, Mother dear, thou has gone
And left us here to weep,
But this we know
The Lord giveth his beloved sleep.
Yes, He giveth his beloved sleep
To uplands beautiful and fair
Behold the shepherd calls his sheep
And tninistering angels leads then
there
( Beyond Deaths Darkness and its chill
To Pastures Green and Wates still.
There is a country fair and sweet
In realms of ever lasting day
Prepaired for those whose weary feet
Have passed upon lifes rugged way
There laden with rife sheaves he
giveth his beloved sleep.
! He giveth his beloved sleep
I Through all the future thonging years
: How beautiful that thought how deep
I To great for grief to sweet for tears.
Mother Dear while we silently weep
A sweet thought comes to us
He giveth his beloved sleep.

What My Neighbor Says
Is of Interest to Hartwell Folks
When one has had the misfortune
to suffer from backache, headaches,
dizziness, urinary disorders and other
kidney ills—and has found relief
from all this sickness and suffering,
that person’s advice is of untold
value to friends and neighbors. The
following case is only , one of many
thousands, but it is that of a Hart
well resident. Who could ask for a
better example?
Mrs. W. C. Banister, Jackson St.,
says: “My kidneys acted irregularly
and my back was painful, especially
when I got up in the morning. I felt
tired and worn out from loss of
sleep. I wasn’t long in getting over
the trouble after I began using
Doan's Pills.” (Statement given April
19, 1918).
On March 12, 1923, Mrs. Banister
said: “I use Doan’s whenever my
back hurts or w’hen my kidneys don’t
act right and never fail to relieve
me.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—-get
Doan’s Pills—the same that Mrs.
Banister had. Foster-Milburn Co.,

Many Uses for Myrrh
Myrrh Is a substance which exudes
from the bark of.a gum resin tree
known as the myrrh tree, which grows
in Arabia and eastern Africa. Its
smell is balsamic, its taste aromatic
and bitter. Myrrh was • commonly
used by the ancients for fumigation
Myrrh is used in medicine as a tonic
and stimulant. In disorders of the di
gestive organs, excessive secretions
from the mucous membrane, etc., alse
to cleanse foul ulcers and promote
their healing, and as a mouth and

drainage has been and still is the one
big problem for the evergirttles. The
state has spent millions of dollars in
the effort to drain these lands and
control the waters of the lake. And
I assure you this is a state’s size job.
In fact it is a matter so costly and
so important, that Uncle Sam should
attend to it at once. And I have no
doubt that he would do it, if such
conditions existed in some western
Republican state.
I fear I have wearied you, but per
mit me to say that I am delighted
with the speech now being made
by Davis and I am praying for his
election. lof course vote as I pray,
but I know some good folks, lots of
j them who do not.

On next Tuesday there Avill be a
stockholders meeting of the United
States. Some very important mat
ters are to be decided upon and no
stockholder will be permitted to vote
by proxy. Therefore, arrange your
affairs so that you will be able to
attend.
Twenty-seven million people stayed
away from the polls in 1920. Only
twenty-six million people voted. Were
you one of the twenty-seven million
who failed to perform their full
duty as citizens? Within the last
decade there has been a failure on
the part of a large number of other
wise good citizens to perform their
duty to their country—to fulfill their
obligation to vote. In 1896 80 per
cent of eligible voters voted, in 1900
73 per cent voted, 1908 66 per cent,
1912 62 percent voted, 1920 less than
50 per cent of the eligible voters
voted, and, yet, those same people,
who do not go to the polls and vote
are the first ones to “cuss” the
“present administration.” These
figures clearly demonstrate that the
danger to our country is not the at
tacks of Radicals and Bolshevists
from without, but the dwindling of
civic performance within. There
were 1,414,772 eligible voters, in
cluding negroes, in Georgia in 1920,
but only 151,347 voted.
Os course there is no doubt about
how Georgia will vote, as a state,
but why not swell Davis’
vote? • The women of the South are |
more indifferent about voting than
the women of the North. You can
bet your bottom dollar that every
Republican woman who is able to do
soj, will be at the polls next Tuesday.

“Vote for the man and not for

77ie Passing of Hand Labor
On the farm, chores have always
been a burdep. They have faced
the farmer and his boy twice a day,
once before and once after the reg
ular day’s work, and their worst
feature "has been that they had to be
done almost exclusively by hand.
With the coming of electricity to
the farm through the medium of the
farm electric light and power plant,
this condition has been greatly
changed. Thousands of farms in
America are today entirely free of
the tiresome part of chore work. Be
fore dawn in the morning there is
plenty of bright electric light in the
barn "while the milking is going on.
The milking itself is done by a small
electric motor. One man can easily
do the work that took two or three
before. The separating and the
churning are done in the same way.
And so with the grindstone, the corn
sheller, the fanning mill and other
light farm machinery.
Pumping water, one of the biggest
jobs on the farm, is- now done by an ■
electric pump that is entirely auto
matic.

Meaning of “Dickens”
“Dickens” is an interjectional ex
pression signifying astonishment, im
patience and irritation. It is usually
ased with words of interrogation such
as what, where, how and why. The
name has nothing to do with Charles
Dickens. It was used by Shakespeare
over two centuries before Dickens was
born. In “Merry Wives of Windsor”
*Mrs. Page says: “I cannot tell what
tfle dickens his name is my husband
had him of.” “Dickens” is believed to
be- a euphemism for deuce or devil,
which have the same initial letter--

will protect the manufacturing en
terprises of the North which, in turn,
makes it possible for the Phila
delphian to receive high wages. But
this causes the Hartwellite to pay a
high price for his manufactured
goods. When the Democratic party
is in power they arrange a tariff
which will force the price of manu
factured goods down, which pleases
the Hartwellite. But this causes the
Philadelphian’s wages to drop from
ten and twelve dollars a day (I’m
speaking of skilled labor) to six and
eight dollars a day, the same as the
skilled laborer of Atlanta receives.
When the Republican party is in
power and manufactured goods are
high, the people of the South ask,
“why is it so when we are getting
such a poor price for cotton?” Tha
age-worn answer comes back, “high
priced labor causes it.” Therefore,
the only recourse the Hartwellites
have in this case is to vote and vote
solid for the Democratic party.
