I “CHICKENS COME HOME TO ROOST” In 1904 there arose in the ninth district of Georgia; a man by the name of Tom Bell, who began to proclaim to the people the dangers of long tenure in the congressional office. He was on the outside, wanting to get in. The incumbent of that office then had served twelve years. How could the voters tolerate longer such a thing so hazardous to the interests of a democratic people! The Constitution of the United States must be changed. Make the term of office of re-election effective after the second term. In order that the welfare of the country be protected and promoted, allow no man to remain in congress longer than eight years. These things advocated Tom Bell twenty-two years ago, when he was “on the outside looking in.” And the majority said “Amen.” It put Tom Bell in Congress. After he got in, Tom Bell, the congressman, began to see things dif ferently from Tom Bell, the candi date. He lost his ardor for short tenure in office for congressmen. Can a principle ever change? What makes long service in con gress less dangerous with Tom in than with Tom out? O, consistency, it has been truly said, thou art a jewel. Thou art to be desired more than gold, yea, than much fine gold. Thou art also more precious than the congressional office. But what saith Tom? Years ago he said, “I am ready to quit when every qualified person in the ninth district will forego their (institutional right, and give me one term with opposition.” Isn’t this demand unjust? It unsound in principle. Our forefathers were too wise to write it in our Constution. If no one is to be retired from office until given a term without op position, then democracy is a farce. Where is the politician who, under such a system, would run withojt opposition? Tf no one on his own' initiative would run, the incumbent could someone as long as he desired of fice; which in many cases, would be for life. Who could plead such an argument except for self-interest? It is quite different from that ad vocated by Tom Bell in 1904. There is a law in the universe which roads: “For whatsoever a man soveth, tjjat shall he also reap.” Th n harvest is often delayed, but it is certain as death. Tern Bell beat Carter Tate twen ty-two years ago in “anti-long-ten ure of office” campaign.’ It appears now that the same Medicine will be administered to him in as great if (not greater proportion. It is an old saying that “chickens ! come home to roost.” • Unless- all signs fail, Tom Be>.’. hatch will come in on September Bth, 1926. And a new encouragement will come to the school boys of the dis trict. It will not sound so empty to be told of the possibility of thjir (voices sounding In the halls of con gress.- Maysville Enterprise, August 4, 1926. —(Adv.l #****♦**♦• * * DIAMOND HILL ********** • Little Geraldine Baird spent the past week with relatives at Toccoa. i Mr. and Mrs. Early Bruce visited , relatives in Gainesville one day the I past week.

Music by the North Georgia Brass Btnd EVERYBODY INVITED J. C. SIMS PRAISES BELL FOR FURNISHING HIM BED You will see where J. C. Sims praises Congressman Bell for giving him his bed in Atlanta a quarter of a century ago. What was Mr. Bell doing on the streets of Atlanta at 12 o’clock at night with a bed? Mr. Bell seems to have*been more accom modating then than now, because at this time he does not want any one in the Ninth District to occupy the government bed he has been using for twenty-two years. This bed costs the people SIO,OOO a year. Carter Tate put up with a bed twelve years that only co3t $5,000. Mr. Bell said in hu speeches that twelve years was long enough to use such a bed. So the people turned it over to him. Then the price of this bed was raised to $7,000. Now it is ten thou sand. Didn’t he vote for the raise? He has been using it nearly twice as long as Mr. Tate did.—Dahlonega Nugget, August 6th, 1926. (Adv.) DR. HARDMAN TO SPEAK IN ATHENS We are requested to state that Dr. L. G.
