Ihe twenty eigch annual

Weekly Press Association w?s

strong factor in making it a
succes. Commerce i all right!
It is situated on the Southern
Railway twenty miles North of
Athens and is in the corn mo..
wealth of Jackso t count/ and
has the most rioted citizens for
their hospitality. It is destined
to be one of the real live cities
of Northeast Georgia and the
citizens have the art. of ente. t in
mg well develops.*!. The natural
resources of Commerce are very
great. Surrounded as she is by
as geed farming lands as the
country anywhere affords, and
having all of the advantages
that any Northeas Georgia, city
we know she is very fortunate
for situation. Her citizens are
vtk e awake and active, and the
many public improvements in
evidence show that they have
planned wisely and executed
well. A good system of water
works* electric lights, sewerage
■system, good streets and side
walks, substantial business
buddings adorn the city, some
of thc-s -are c-reditable to any
ci’y while the palatial and mod¬
em rt-s&mnces and cokey cot-
thgcB attract the attention of
all passers-by.

HERE ARE THE RECORDS
1. Thomas W. Hardwick’s
first conspicuous act was to
vote In Congress to raise his
own salary 33 1.3 per cent.
2. Mr. Hardwick fought the
Parcel Pest—the greatest boon
the farmers have had In a gen¬
eration. He boasts that he still
opposes it.
3. Mr. Hardwick fought Pres¬
ident Wilson's now currency
plan which the YU all Street
bankers opposed. This new law
will enable the farmers of the
United States to borrow $500,-
000,000.00. The proportion $10,000,000.00. to
Georgia v/i‘i b.
The farmers will bo able to bor¬
row on cotton, corn, live-stock
and produce.
4. Mr. Hardwick turned the
facilities of the Government
Printing Office In Washington
over to a paid lobbyist. He has
been using the Government

swered a dozen roll-calls in
three months. He is drawing
down $28.40 a day from the Na.
iionsl Treasury as a Represen¬

6. Mr. Hardwick 'while pro¬
claiming bombastically through¬
out the State that he cut the
duty from sugar, the reco’-d is
against him. He was Chairman
of a Committee to investigate
the Sugar Trust. In his report
of thirty-fwo pages not one
word can he found about reduc¬
ing or taking 331, the tax off sugar.
(See report Sixty-second
Congress, Second Session.)
7. During his twelve years
in Congress. Mr. Hardwick has
not been the author or the
chief promoter of any one nota¬
ble act.
Mr. Slaton put over the Inheritance Tax Law which
many others had recommended but not produced.
Put over the Revised Registration Law which others
had failed to get through.
Reduced the State’s expenditures for the first time in
forty years. standing by
Protected the State’s credit and financial
borrowing money for Georgia at 3 per cent when neigh¬
boring States were paying 7 per cent.
Fought for and put over the Tax Equalization Law,
which has put millions of formerly unretu-rned property
on the tax books.
He saved the State’s credit and made it possible at
the same time to lower the tax rate.
Redeemed in a year his pledges as Governor, and
accomplished more constructive work during that pe¬
riod than had been done in ten years before.
HE IS THE BEST TRAINED PUBLIC MAN IN GEORGIA.
