Vote for Democrats in
Election Next Tuesday
By Dean Broome
in The Blackshear Times
With one cross or check mark at the top of the
ballot, voters can approve the entire slate of Demo
cratic candidates when they vote in the general elec
tion next Tuesday.
We believe that it will be in the best interest of
all Geirgia to vote the straight Democratic ticket in
this election.
LESTER G. MADDOX FOR GOVERNOR
Lester G. Maddox, the Democratic nominee for
Governor, has had a successful career as a business
man, working himself up from day laborer to owner
ship of two outstanding Georgia business enterprises,
first a large restaurant, and at present a furniture
store.
He is known as a devout Christian and church
worker. Even opponents admit that he is honest,
sober, conscientious and courageous in defense of
his belief in principles.
Though largely a self-educated man, the speeches
of Lester Maddox reveal a keen intellect, practical
wisdom and a wide knowledge of public affairs.
No clique controls him. He has repeatedly told
even his most ardent supporters that his administra
tion will be for all the people, and not for a select
group of "insiders.”
The prospect of his election has thrown liberal
and left-wing elements into near-hysteria. Thus Mad
dox has become the object of their hate and vilifica
tion in a manner not often seen in Georgia politics.
His "crime” was that he defended his business
against what he considered unconstitutional en
croachment, even to the point of using ax handles
and a pistol. Finally, he closed down the business
rather than yield on this matter of principle.
We believe Maddox is the best choice of the two
candidates for Governor. We urge his election with
an overwhelming victory.
BILL STUCKEY, MAN OF UNUSUAL ABILITY
Eighth District voters are fortunate to have as a
Congressional candidate a man of the unusual capa
bilities of W. S. (Bill) Stuckey, Jr.
-He is a young man of extensive business know
ledge and experience. His friendliness, his genuine
warmth of personality and his understanding of
people have been effective for him in his campaign
for the nomination. They can also be effective for
the Bth District in Congress.
Though a man of wealth himself, Stuckey seems
to have a deep feeling for the problems of less for
tunate persons. He expresses conservatism in political
beliefs but appears to have a genuine desire to serve
the needs of all classes of people.
Stuckey does not “need the job.” So we feel he
can use all of his talents, time and energies to rend
er service as a Congressman.
He also has a sound program, which includes in
dustrial development and jobs for the Bth District,
control of federal spending, easing of the tax burden,
adherence to constitutional goverment, and legisla
tion to benefit those on Social Security.
We believe he will be eminently successful and
effective as a U. S. Congressman.

Fashions change to please
the eye. Have you ever
thought about that? Without
the variety of change, our sen
ses become dulled and unre
sponsive. The nose loses its sen
sitivity to any constant odor;
the ear becomes deaf to con
stant sound; the tongue finds
a constantly repeated favor
increasingly tasteless.
Likewise, the eye becomes
indifferent to unchanging
clothing styles and requires
stimulating look. We all enjoy
the change that fashion gives
us. These fashion changes
stimulate not only the eye,
but the tongue as well, for
who can resist talking about
them?
Fashion leaders sometimes
have an inborn fashion sense.
Their inborn fashion sense
overrides the habit of confor
mity to accepted standards.
Being first and being copied
by others give satisfaction.
Consequently, the fashion
conscious person is constantly
searching for new styles in
order to maintain the plea
sure she derives from her posi
tion of leadership.
Only those with a desire to
be leaders are the first to ac
cept a new look. These in
dividuals are self secure and
are willing to be daring in
their dress.
In order to have a leader
we must have followers. Those
who are less sure of their
taste in fashion seek to copy
the “fashion plate” and thus
identify themselves as fash
ionable. Because the number
of leaders we can have is
limited, fashion acceptance
becomes the process of copy
ing a leader. Some well-known
leaders of the fashion world
are Jackie Kennedy, the Duke
and Duchess of Windsor and
the Lyndon Johnson family.
The minimum amount of ac
ceptable fashion change each
season is that in which fash
ion leaders can detect some
thing new. The maximum
amount of acceptable change
is that which just falls short
of being too alarming for the
leaders to accept.
How can you become more
fashion conscious? By relying
on your eye to discriminate
and by ashing yourself the
questions, “Do I like this
item?” and, if so, “Why?” This
training will encourage you to
take a critical look at apparel
as well as paintings, sculp
tures, home furnishing, win-

Faith Fulfills Life
Suppose someone were to
ask you, “What does your
faith mean to you?”
What kind of answer would
you be able to give?
Too many people think of
their faith only in terms of
mental activity — belief in
God, in the saving power of
Jesus Christ, in eternal life.
The faith to which the Bible
witnesses is more than belief.
It is not just the adding on
of some religious doctrines to
a large body of knowledge
stored up in the brain. It is
the transformation of all that
a person is and all that a
person knows from a state of
death to a state of life. Paul
said in Romans 8:6, “For to be
carnally minded is death; but
to be spiritually minded is life
and peace.” Faith is not grudg
ing acceptance of a few doct
rines of religion, faith is the
overwhelming of the carnal,
or physical, by the spiritual.
What is it to be spiritually
minded?
You are taken out of your
self. Absorption in oneself is
health-destroying and mind
destroying. This is because
the self is spiritually sick-sin
ful, to use the more common
word for the condition. Being

Changes.
absorbed in the physical con
cerns of one’s life deals out
only sickness and death. Ab
sorption in feeding oneself
leads to gluttony, absorption
in strong drink leads to al
coholism, absorption in sex
leads to perversion, absorption
in personal appearance leads
to vain-glory.
The spiritually minded per
son thinks in terms of God and
others. He is ruled by the
great commandment to love
God with his entire being and
to love neighbor as himself.
Involvement in these love re
lationships brings health, peace
and a fulfilled life.
This involvement also puts
you to work. You can certainly
love God through communion
with Him in prayer and wor
ship, but these things should
prod you to work for God.
There is a witness to be made
and a world to be won. These
involve planning, building,
writing, reading, speaking, go
ing. organizing, teaching, ex
plaining, cleaning up, being
aggressive, being patient, heal
ing, hindering sin and spread
ing good will — in other
words, work.
Christian faith offers a ful
filled life. But this faith must
run deep, it must involve
sacrifice, and going out of the
way for the sake of God.
