Statement of Chairman
“Gentlemen of 'the Committee:
First of all, I want to apologize in
putting you to the expense and
causing 'you loss of time from your
business to pass upon a matter that
had already been acted upon by this
committee. However, Thurston Wil
liams and C. W. Hood brought me
on last Saturday a signed communi
cation from Dr. L. Q. Hardman, one
of the candidates for governor, with
a list of names appended whom they
insisted should be managers in the
several precincts of the county. 1
informed these gentlemen thgt per
sonally 1 could have no objection to
those suggested, as they were all
good citizens and honorable men,
but that.the voters of the several
precincts of the cofinty had elected
committeemen, and that so
far as I was concerned I would not
undeitake to dictate or suggest to
such precinct committeeman as to
who should be managers in his pre
cinct, nor to interfere in any way
with the action of such committee
man in the selection of managers to
hold the election in the run-over pri
mary of October 6th, and that I
was entirely satisfied to trust in his
wisdom and discretion in the matter,
and that he was responsible to the
people of the district who had elected
him. I further informed these
gentlemen that it had always been
customary to leave,the selection of
the managers to the district com
mitteeman, and that this authority
was delegated to him, and that his
action was the action of the Demo
cratic Executive Committeeman of
Jackson County.
“I further informed these gentle
men that the County Committee had
voted unanimously that in view of
the fact that no provision was made
for the payment of clerks and mana
gers in the run-over primary, that
the same managers who held the
election in September should hold
the election in the run-over, since
they had been paid in the regular
primary.
“These gentlemen mentioned not
being satisfied with my suggestions,
I have called this meeting, and sub
mit herewith the communication of
Dr. Hardman so that you may take
such action as you may deem proper.”
The following request of Dr. L. G.
Hardman was read:
Dr. Hardman's Letter
“Commerce, Georgia, October Ist,
11)2(5.—T0 the Democratic Execu
tive Committee of Jackson County,
and Mr. Homer Hancock, Chairman
of Said Committee: Gentlemen: I
respectfully request that in accord
ance with Rule Three of the State
Democratic Executive committee, you
give me proper representation in the
selection of managers and clerks at
the difteretlt voting precincts in
Jackson county in the Democratic
primary election for governor to be
held on October 6th, 1926.
“I beg to submit a list of sugges
tions for my representatives at the
different precincts in the county, as
per list hereto attached.
“In naming managers and clerks
at the Jefferson precinct*, 1 do not
wish Mr. J. E. Tribble to be includ
ed as one of my representatives.' 1
do not regard him as one of my
supporters. In fact, I have unques
tioned documentary evidence to show
that he is not, and 1 decline to recog
nize him as entitled to represent me
in said election.
“1 suggest that I he permitted to
name one manager and one clerk at
each precinct, that Mr. 'Holder be
permitted to name one manager and
we clerk, and .that the Chairman of
the ( ounty Executive Committee
name the other manager and the other
clerk.
“In some of the smaller precincts,
where there may be only three mana
gers and a clerk, then I suggest that
I be given two* representatives, and
Mr. Holder be given two.
I would be obliged ,f you will
kir.rily inform rp" pror.tptlv whet''
this request will be complied with, as
11 desire (o be assured that the rule
of the State Executive Committee
oti the subject will be observed.

JUDGE HIGHSMITH THANKS '
SUPPORTERS
To cyery county that went in my
favor, and to every individual who
took an interest in my race for
the Court of Appeals, even to the
extent of voting for me in the pri
mary of Sept. Bth, whether or -not
the county was for me, I wish to
express my sincere appreciation.
It is not possible for me to ex
press my apreciation 'to each indi
vidual, and only to those counties
whose county papers do me the kind
ness to publish this statement. While
election to the Court of Appeals
would have afforded the most ef-
fective means of contributing some
thing toward overcoming unreason
able delay in the disposition of cases
on appeal, failing in this, I shall con
tinue to strive in every other way
open to me to do something toward
this end. No case should remain up
on appeal longer than four months,
and the great majority of them
should be disposed of within sixty
days. A continuation of present con
ditions will eventually destroy all re
spect for courts. If I have been or
shall hereafter be of any aid in cor
recting this evil, I shall count my
self abundantly rewarded.
. J. P. Highsmith.
THE PRODIGAL SON
What happened to the Prodigal
Son after his welcome home is one
of the unfinished stories of the Bi
jble.
It. was necessary to tell the sequel
in the Scripture. Life writes that
story again and often, since the Pro
digal is forever re-appearing.
One of his kind, son of a rich
Southerner, abandoned school because
money made education seem unneces
sary. t
Money now gone, unfitted by Pde
ness, dissipation and limited train
iny for real work, this Prodigal has
a son of his own, of which he says:
“From my own experience I have
no desire to leave riches to my son.
I feel-that he will make a better
citizen if I can manage to leave him
with an education and a knowledge
of work that will enable him to ap
preciate the necessities and joys of.
life as he acquires them.”
Sound sense there. He could not
retrieve his own mistakes, but at
least he could point out the penalty
of folly.
Not a barren heritage for a Prod
gal Son to hand down.—Collier’s
Weekly.
1 NEED YOUR ROSES NOW
I do not plead a broken heart,
My life knows much of bliss;
And yet, at times, the hot tears start,
Because of joys I miss. \
0, do not leave the tender things
Unsaid till o’er my brow
Death’s wing its warning flings—
I need your roses now.
If I should take the journey far,
Your tears would fall like rain,
And out beyond the evening star
Your soul would call in vain.
But, walkiny closely by your side,
How little you allow
For human feelings none can hide!
I need your roses now.
O, life would brighten everywhere,
If half the love were shown
In tender, sympathizing care
That gleams jn costly stone.
The honor you too late - would give,
Give now, I care not how;
For you, and you I love,
And need your roses now.
—,-The Family Altar.
THE OTHER MAN
Perhaps he sometimes slipped a bit—
Well, so have you.
Perhaps some things he ought to
quit—
Well, so should you.
Perhaps he may have faltered—
why,
Why, all men do, and so have I;
You must admit, unless you He,
That so have you.
Perhaps if we both stop and think,
Both I and you,
When painting some as black as ink,
As some folks do,
Perhaps, if we would recollect,
Perfection we would not expect,
But just a man half way correct,
Like you and me.
I’m just a man who’s fairly good,
I’m just like you.
I’ve done some things I never should,
Perhaps like you.
But, thank the Lord, I’ve sense to see
The rest of men with charity;
They’re good enough if good as me—
Say men like you.

.
JoVin DePalma. famous little Itallr.n racing star, who will star* a b-an
new Duesenberg eight-ln-line speedway job at the auto races who
climax the Southeastern Fair, Saturday, October 9. In spite cf it
tiny size and small piston displacement, DePalma’s machine whips u
125 horsepower and is “dynamite” on tracks like the Lakewood p ar !
oval.
America’s greatest racing stars,
having finished practically all of the
big northern meets, are moving into
the south for the late fair runs and

the wheel, has a powerful Arrow Spe

Claypool, the white - haired veteran,
who won the sweepstakes event at the

Claypool is rated one of the most
daring of modern-day drivers, and,
with stiff competition due, should dis
play some sensational driving. Bob

Ills., starts as a “black horse” with a
