By Holder & Williamson BONDS ORNO BONDS Issue Is Plain And Hardman Must Face It, Declares Holder Pointing out that he received m ore than three thousand votes in the recent primary than were re ceived by Dr. Hardman; that he car ried Jackson, the home county of both, by a substantial majority, and that he ran second in most of the counties which he did not carry, John N. Holder, w|jo with Dr. Hard man will run off the governor’s race in the second primary on Oc tober 6, declared he welcomes the coming battle. “The issue is plain a-nd well-de fined,” says a statement issued by Mr. Holder. “It is state bonds or no state bonds. An honorable reord of public service versus a check book. I do not believe that Georgia can be converted into a Pennsylvania or an Illinois.” Mr. Holder’s statement follows in full: To the People of Georgia: Complete but unofficial returns from every county in Georgia in the primary held September 8, show that I received more than three thou sand more votes than Dr. Hardman; that I carried the county of' Jack soh, in which we both live and where our records and characters are well* known to the voters, by a substantial majority; and that Dr. Hardman carried two more coun ties than I did. Say* He Was Leading Candidate These results also show that in the counties which Dr. Hardman carried, the race was, in the main between Dr. Hardman and myself; that in the counties George Carswell parried,, t'he race was between George" Carswell and myself; and that in the counties that J. O. Wood carried, the race was between J. O. Wood and myself. This proves con clusively, I think, that I was the leading candidate in the raoe. .In statements published this morn \wg, Mr. Carswell and Mr. Wood an •aounc* that they will support Dr. Hardman. They have been doing this all along, under the guise of running for governor (themselves, and their action will create no sur prise, especially after the long and fervid conferences held by Dr. Hard man in Atlanta Friday with Mr. J. 0. Wood and Mr. George Carswell. It is one thing to ask a man to vote for you for governor, and an other thing to deliver that vote to somebody else. I have too much re spect for the intelligence and patriot ism of those who voted for George I Carswell and J. 0. Wood to believe that they can be delivered like sheep into the camp of those who would foist a huge bond issue on the state and lay new tax burdens on the people. Real Issue Undetermined The people of Georgia, for the first time since the great campaign of 1906, have an opportunity now to pass on a supremely vital economic issue. Too many of the campaigns since that time have been waged on merely factional or personal issues. 1 say it without bitterness —the pri mary held last Wednesday resulted in a stalemate," largely because of slanders hurled against me by my opponents. The real issue was left undertermined. But in the coming primary the question of whether Georgia shall have high credit and low taxes or low credit and high taxes must be decider}. Whether the state of Georgia shall make much needed improvements in paved highways hy paying as she goes, or by mort gaging the future with huge bond issues —that is the question. My opponent, Dr. L. G. Hardman, c annot escape the issue in this run -oVer primary. He and his allies shall he made to face it. My campaign was fought on. an economic issue of grave import to the ’ate. The campaign 0 f my op- j P°ncnts was one of slander and i *huse. In the closing days of the campaign the falsest and most libel-: ®u charge ever made against a pub- j ‘*c man in Georgia was underhand-; edlv circulated by Dr. Hardman’s j heac juarters against me. This was Bo * done until the eleventh hour of j l he campaign, when there was scant 'TP' rtunity to counteract it. That,! to °. has- now been swept aside. The camouflage issue of machine c' i 'ies is swept aside. Dr. Hard-j CLIPPINGS FROM WINDER NEWS Death of David nrchir The death of David Archer was very sad. He was known as “Uncle Dave.” He was about 75 years of age and was healthy all of his life up until January whbn his baby son was buried. He then began to go down in health. He leaves a wife, one son and four daughters, 36 grandchildren and 17 great-grand children. Rev. J. H. Wood had charge of the funeral at the Presbyterian church and he was laid to rest in Rbse Hill cemetery by the side of his son. He was born and reared in Jackson county. Death of Mr. Hoyt Lyle The friends of Mrs. Fannie Couch will be sorry to know that she re cently lost her only brother, Mr. Hoyt Lyle, by death. Mr. Lyle was in the sanitorium at Milledgeville at the time of his death, and had been visit ed often and shown many attentions by this devoted sister. Three other sisters, a wife and five children sur vive him. The interment was at the old family burying ground, Maxey, Ga. q First Baie of Cotton The first bale of cotton brought to Winder was received on last Fri day, September 3rd. It was grown by Tom Hayes wh* lives on the Millsaps farm near the Appalachee river and weighed 382 pounds. It was classed as midling and brought 18 cents, which was a premium of one cent over the market. IT TOOK OFF HIS SHOES A colored brother named Alex Hen derson was taking a little nap the other day during one of our thunder storms when a bolt of lightning en tered the room and neatly took off both his shoes. Except for waking him up from his slumbers no damage was done.—Gordele Dispatch. man, Mr.-Carswell and Mr. Wood knew perfectly well that I had no alliance with any other candidate. The Only Machines The fact that more than 70,000 Georgians voted for me shows that the mass of the people themselves did npt believe it. The truth of the matter is that - the only machines that are involved in the coming pri mary and that were really involved in Jhe late primary were the money machine headed by Dr. Hardman and his check book and the machine of Governor Clifford Walker, with its army of employees, by which he manipulated county after county, throwing votes to Carswell, where most needed; votes to Wood, where most needed, and votes to Hardman, where most needed. The charge that there is a highway machine is false, but if there is a political influence, in the highway department it is, as every well informed man in Georgia , knows, directed against me and not | fer me. The opportunity will not be given this time to let slanders go un checked. My mistake was that I thought an- honorable record, cover- ing four terms as speaker of the hr use of representatives, many of fices of public trust, and unfailing vindication in every race that I made in my own county, where the people know a man’s character best, was proof against slanders. Welcome* the Battle I welcome the coming battle; the issue is plain and well defined. It fs state bonds or no state bonds. An honorable record of public serv ice versus a check book. I lo :ot believe that Georgia an be convert ed into a Pennsylvania or an Illi nois. In due time the people of Georgia will be told of the vast expendi tures of money made to defeat me in the state. I have supreme confi dence in the people of Georgia, and I have a feeling of eternal gratitude to the 70,000 votes who withstood the slanderous attacks made upon me by my opponents. From every section of the state, including counties carried by me and counties carried by my opponents, there has come a regular flood of let ters and telegrams, assuring me that in the runover race a genuine victory for the real interests of the people of Georgia is certain and sure. These letters and telegrams have come both from old friends who supported me in the recent primary and from new friends who proffer their sup port in the coming primary. tOHN N. HOLDER.

I Waycross-Florida Highway Stretch Now is All Pave<| | Waycross, Ga.. Sept. 10.—Way cross is celebrating this week the completion of the paving of the Cen tral Dixie highway from Waycross to the Florida line. This gives a paved highway from Waycross to Jacksonville and on to Miami. Work has been started paving this highway north of Waycross to the Bacon county line! Immediately this is completed the contract will be be let to carry the paving on into * Alma. At Alma the paving will join the Dixie highway to Macon, the Beeline highway to Macon, and the Wilson highway to Augusta. On each of these there is a strong probability of a continuously pqved highway from one end of Georgia to the other, with the likelihood that the Wilson highway will be the first to reach this goal. At Macon the Cen tral Dixie highway and the Beeline highway connect with the highway that will be paved into Atlanta bjr the first of the year. The completion of this paving south of Waycross brings to success ! a dream of many years. About sev en years ago this road was graded. 1 About two years later it was sand clayed. Later on the first seven miles were paved. Now the entire stretch is paved. This is the highway about which it was said a fish could swim all the way from Waycrass to Jacksonville, which shows the nature of the diffi culfies that have been overcome. The Finley Construction company was the contractor in charge. MISS BESSIE KEMPTON WINS ASSEMBLY RACE Miss Bessie Kempton, of Fulton county, will he the only woman to answer roll call in the Georgia as sembly next year. 4 This probability became known Thursday when it was reported that four other women aspirants had met defeat, thus leaving Fulton with the only woman in the house or senate. Miss A. Mayhahly Lancaster was defeated* in Heard county for the legislature by J. E. Favor, the vote standing 92 to 500. Mrs. N. H. Peterson lost a race for , the senate from the 47Hi district to E. P. Bowen. Mrs. Viola Rn Napier, of Bibb, , Was defeated for reelection by about i25 votes. So’after A flurry in which two wo men were seated in the legislatori at the last election, women have in a measure withdrawn from puhlio life in Georgia and have left th 9 field cleared to the men. And Mjcs i\cmj ii.n is the sole survivor. MR. FERRER EXPRESSES AP PRECIATION Editor Jackson Herald, Jefferson, Ga.
