Anderson, editor of the Macon Telegraph, and Gov ernor Walker—notoriously bitter enemies of his—colluded for the purpose of removing John N. Holder from the chairmanship of the highway commission and filling the vacancy thus to be made by putting Anderson in it, and were balked by a decision of the su preme court holding that the executive had no authority to do so, the Telegraph was promptly made the vehicle for circulating the vilest the fertile and active brain of its editor could coin. Following the knockout blow administered to the conspirators by the supreme court, the Telegraph kept on reiterating these charges until the legislature took cognizance of them and appointed a com mittee to investigate Use real facts, which it did, and fully vindicated Holder, giving him a clean slate, to which he was clearly entitled. . . . The other “rot” is now being manufactured by the “push,” put into George Carswell’s open and waiting mouth, and spouted with the energy of a whale. For example, the Telegraph said, and put in Georgia's open mouth a pure fabrication to the effect that Holder had promised to build 800 additional miles of road, whereas, under the law there are only 51 miles left to be.allocated, and that he is bootlegging these extra miles, by holding off allocating them until after the primary, so that he can secure the votes of the various applicants, by such bulldozing tactics. What are the real facts? The state system of roads, under the acts of 1919 and 1921, totaled 6,235.9. The regular session of the general assembly in 1925 amended the act of 1921, by striking out “5,500,” and inserting “6,- 300 miles,” which increased the system by 800 miles and by adding these 800 miles to the number in the system on the previous January Ist we have a total mileage already provided by law' of 7,035.9, unal located, instead of only 51 miles, a.s charged. * * * This same aggregation also make another charge against Hol der, to the effect that he undertook to secure the vote of Hart county by allocating certain mileage, some four miles, and to be built by the state, which the county commissioners denounced as a falsehood in a signed card given to the press, yet neither of them has had the manhood to retract or correct it. Of course, Wood’s candidacy would be regarded as a joke, pure and simple, but for the fact that it gives him a good opportunity to increase the circulation of the Searchlight, of which he is the editor, and, for all we know, the owner, but Carswell and Hardman have each worked themselves into the belief that they actually have a chance; and each of them know that the only hope of wining is to destroy Holder by slander and abuse, but the people thoroughly understand the situation and are not the ignoramouses the circulators of these campaign canards believe them to be, and Holder will receive more votes on September 8 than all of them added together, as the elec torate know that he is clean and able, and the only man in the race who opposes mortgaging the state for millions upon millions of dol lars, thereby piling up taxation too burdensome to be borne, and that is the sole issue of importance involved.

(Advertisement) HOLDER’S FINE FITNESS FOR GOVERNOR (From Augusta Chronicle) |UST a week from Wednesday the people of Georgia will vote by an enormous majority to install John N. Holder in the guber torial chair where he will preside over the destinies of this state with a legislature functioning in perfect unieon with the executive branch of the government. .We say this because Mr. Holder has had many years experience in the legislature and many men now in the house and senate served with him there through the years. As governor Mr. Holder will have a cleared insight into the the problems of Georgia than any other governor in this generation, for his entire career has been devoted to the study of state problems. Indeed, John Holder knows Georgia’s problems probably better than any other Georgian. We shall have, therefore, a man so excellently equipped that Georgia should congratulate herself upon the oppor tunity to select him. Coupled with courage and capacity, John Holder has that fine tactfulness which will enable him to harmonize elements in the state government that are out of harmony and we expect to see less friction and more honest to goodness hard work done by Georgia public officials and employee during his incumbency than any other period in in tha history of the state. And as the campaign is entering the final stretch we find three breathless and coatless gentlemen hurling tirades of abu against the distinguished chairman of the highway department. The gentlemen evade the all important issue, being afraid apparently, to take a stand for or against bonds, but they drive their darts of abuse and shaft* of misrepresentation at John Holder. In concert they attack. It. ap pears to be a preconceived desperate attack to tear Holder down to build themselves up, which reminds us of the old saying, “If you want to build yourself up, don’t try to tear some other fellow down." Of course, that sort of salesmanship cannot win; these tactics will make more and more friends for Holder every day. It is the jianie old story of the salesman who tries to sell his own wares by ham mering the wares of the other fellow. And it can’t be done. Talk about your own fitness for the office, gentlemen, talk about your own constructive program, assuming you have any fitness and have any program, and let Georgians know what is your conception of the future of this state, the progress it should make in the next decade with good highways, with encouragement to the foreign investor, with advertising to bring settlers in our deserted farm lards that need only the touch of the husbandman to frutify' and make a commonwealth prosperous. John Holder stands for u pay as you go agaijjst bonds because we have the money to build highways on the pay as you go plan; he stands for progress, for development of our marvelous agricultural, mineral and industrial resources and he has a vision of a develop ment in Georgia during the next few years that will stagger the imagination. What sort of program have his opponents to offer? All the talk about “political ma chine” is mere bunk. This has been the cry in Georgia for twenty years. The outs always claim that the ins have a “political machine.” They ! used to call it a “ring,” but have changed the name to “machine.” It ! is merely a name the outs apply to I the ins so the out can get in. Nothing to it at all.—Banks County Journal. (From Franklin News-Bnnner) Evidence of Increasing Strength Asa further evidence of Mr. Hol der’s increasing strength with the people it is pointed out in political circles that the combined opposition admits this in centering their fire alone on his candidacy. He is the object of attack for each of the can didates in the opposition. | JEWETT BARNETT IN MIDDLE GEORGIA Dear Editor: We find ourself down in Middle Georgia this morning, and will try to pen a few lines to the folks “back home.” Upon an invitation from the good people here, we came to this city Monday of this week, and took charge of the song services in a re vival meeting. We do not profess to be a leader, but since we have got mixed up with that class, it is noth ing to be ashamed of, ho we carry 'out the pretense, and have been able ' to get by, so far. # l This is our second visit to the city of Thomson, and we are glad to state I that the same welcome is extended upon this trip, as we received on the first, so that accounts for the fact [that we are enjoying life. The revival service* are being held each evening, and will continue through the first Sunday evening of September, so that means our stay is two weeks, I), V. Over the trip to this city we passed through Athens Crawford, Union Point, and other cities. Little change, if any, can be noticed in the crop* • ' along the route. The farmers state that the cotton-has plenty weed, but that the fruit "is not there in pro ' potion. | j Allow us, please, to mention the pretty girls, before we stop. The ’ j peach crop was not so good here, but | the "peaches” are among Georgia’s - fairest, and we would place them ' ' right up by “Miss Atlanta,” or any | | one else. Will return in time for the primary | election on Sept. 8. So, with best wishes, we close. As ever, Jewett Barnett. 1 Thomson, Ga., Aug. 20, 1926. - M In Bulletin No. 1408 the U. S.
