HOLDER PLEDGES
COOPERATION FOR
GREATER GEORGIA
Hon. John N. Holder, of Jefferson,
the defeated candidate for governor,
gave out the following statement on
Thursday morning:
“To My Fellow Georgians:
“In a democracy like ours the will
of the people is supreme, and I bow
to the will of the people as express
ed in Wednesday’s election. I hold
no bitterness in my heart toward
those who honestly differed with me,
•nd it shall be my purpose in the fu
ture, just as it has been my purpose
in the past, to contribute in every
way possible toward the progress of
our beloved state.
“To those thousands of loyal
friends amj supporters who stood by
me and fought for me to the last
ditch in thp face of an as-.suit that
was concentrated against my person-,
ml character. 1 am profoundly grate
ful. I always have prized the
friendships of my fellows above raa* :
terial or political consideratios and
my heart has been deeply touched
by the love and devotion which my,
friends have unhesitatingly and un
waveringly accorded to me.
“To those who did not know me
personally, hut who supported me be
cause they believed in the principles
for which I stood and did not believe j
in the slanderous charges made a-'
gainst me, I wish to express my deep-!
est appreciation and to say to them
that ‘truth is eternal in the heavens,’,
and that time will vindicate both the
principles for which I stood and will
stand, as well as my personal charac-J
ter.
“The outstanding issue in the
campaign was whether Georgia shall
be burdened with a great state bond
mortgage or whether it shall pro
ceed on a pay-as-you-go policy. I
am absolutely satisfied that at least
four-fifths of the people of this state
oppose a state bond issue.
“I am equally convinced that the
people accepted in good faith the
statement of my opponent that he is
opposed to state bonds and the state- j
ment of the several newspaper bond
advocates that thd question of state
bonds was not an issue in the cam
paign.
“This being undoubtedly true, I
trust that in good faith with the
people the bond advocates will join
with the anti-bond advocates in mak
ing the pay-as-you-go plan a success, !
both in the matter of constructing
highways and in expanding our edu
cational system.
“I have labbred for Georgia for
many years, and there shall bo no
lessening in my labors.
“I congratulate Dr. Hardman upon
his victory, and I pledge to him my
unstinted cooperation in every wor
thy effort which he may put forward
in behalf of the greater progress and
development of Georgia.
“JOHN N. HOLDER.” !
THREE MEN UNDER BOND
IN FATAL AUTO WRECK
Gainesville, Ua., Oct. 9.—The pre
liminary bearin'!' of the seven young
men held in connection with tiie
death of the unknown woman killed
on Keith Bridge road in an auto wreck
September 23, resulted in the holding
of Cliff Payne under a bond of sl,-
000, and Bill Elliott and Lon Buf
fington under bonds of $l5O, on
charges of misdemeanor. Payne, ac
cording to his own statement, was in
the car with the woman wnen the
wreck occurred. The other men were
discharged.
DON’T BE A DRIFTER
\
The trouble with a great many
people in the world today is that they
are “drifters,” They don’t stay at
one job long enough to master it,
or work hard enough to make.it a
success.
Working a little while in one place,
they become weary and move on to
another, only to repeat jhe process
time after time.
There is a simple old saying—so
true that it is trite—“A rolling stone
gathers no moss.”
Get an anchorage early in life.
Experience shows that those who set
tle down before middle age make far
greater personal progress, as a rule
than those who drift.
Fortitude and will power are neces
sary to remain steady in a world of
pleasure, but it is only through a
determined fight of this character
that success will come.
Establish your anchorage; it never
pays to be a drifter.
Travail o* Cotton Growers
<3y Harvfe Jordan)
TANARUS! expected has happened and not
;ho jm pectcd. The south produced
17,000,000 bales of cotton on 37,-
'(100,000 acres in 1914. The grow**"'
| could not expect to produce much less
|in L 920 on 48,000,000 acres plant
ed. With the present widespread
i knowledge of combating weevil in
i festatiorf, and the comparative light
attack of insects in the past three
j years, it was nothing short of a sui
[ tidal policy on the part of the grow
ers to have so largely expanded the
I cotton acreage dur.ng the past two
[years. _
The present estimated yield of a
[ bout one bale to 3 1-4 acres spells
a heavy financial loss to the rank and
file of the growers, based upon
present prices for the staple. At
taching' the cotton exchanges, the
cotton trade and the Federal Crop
Reporting bureau at this time will
not relieve the present situation. The
price of spot cotton is fixed and re-
I gulcted daily, weekly and monthly
in the commercial markets of the
i world, based upon the inexorable law
of supply, demand and consumption.
The reports of the Federal Crop Re
porting bureau at this season of the
I year are usually dependable because
the crop has advanced to maturity
'sufficiently to secure reasonably re-
liable estimates on production. Fore
casts in June, July and August are
only speculative guesses, while the
: semi-monthly reports as now issued
, through the growing season are de
moralizing to every department of
the cotton trade and should be aban
doned. Certainly they are of no
value to the growers or the manu
facturers of the staple.
The present situation appears to
be a duplication of the debacle of the
fall and winter of 1920-21. Not ex
ceeding 10 per cent of the growers
will break even or find a profit in
this year’s production ad present
prices, while the great masses of the
cotton farmers are faced with heavy
losses.
Solution of Problem
There is but one practical, sound
and effective solution of the present
cotton situation confronting thefarm
ing and business interests of the
south. The bankers of the cotton
belt should organize and agree to fi
nance and retire from the market un
til next August at least 3,000,000
bales of the present crop, prorated to
each state on basis and arranged for
at the same time that a southwide
county to county acreage reduction
campaign shall be vigorously prose
cuted from January to April. The
cotton acreage for 1927 should be
curtailed 25 per cent and the 12,-
000,000 acres so released planted in
necessary food and feed crops. The
reduced acreage planted should be
fertilized and cultivated intensively,
increasing present low yields per
acre and harvesting a better uniform
staple of grades and lengths. Texas
bankers are agitating the proposition
and it should be extended in to defi
nite and positive action in all the cot-,
jon states.
At this stage of the situation re
lief can only be had through the co
op -ration of the banks. Reduction
of acreage next spring will be the
problem of the growers. Both these
interests working together in effec
tive harmony will relieve the market
at present of an unwieldly and dis
astrous weight of a large surplus
and stabilize the value of 1927 on a
basis of prices that will be profit
able to the growers. If nothing is
done aside from political activities at
Washington, the situation will go
from bad to worse.
A WISE BOY
The following is an excerpt from
the will of a Wall Street man, which
has been probated recently in the
New York courts: *
"To my wife, 1 leave her lover and
the knowledge that 1 wasn’t the fool
she thought I was.
“To my son, I leave the pleasure
of earning a living. For 35 years he
has thought that the pleasure was all
mine. He is mistaken.
“To my. daughter, I leave SIOO,-
000. She will need it. The only good
piece of business her husband ever
did was to marry her.
• "To my valet, 1 leave the clothes
that he has been stealing from me
regularly for the past ten years. Also
my fur ‘coat that he wore last winter
when I was in Palm Beach.
“To my chauffeur, I leave my
cars. He almost ruined them and I
want him to have 'he satisfaction of
finishing the job.
“To my partner, I leave the sugges
tion that he take some other clever
man in with him at once if he ex
pects to do any business.”

DR. HARDMAN
THANKS VOTERS
FOR SUPPORT
Thanldng his supporters and pledg
[ ins a business-like administration,
I Dr. Hardman issued the following
- tatement to the Associated Press
j Wednesday night from bis Commerce,
Ga., home: '
"I am very grateful, indeed, for
the expression through the people of
Georgia in the interest of a plain,
business administration, that has been
so clearly demonstrated in both the
first and last primary.
“It shall be my purpose to carry
1 out as far as it is possible, as the
governor of Georgia, the interest of
the entire state; the looking for the
development of the state in its great
diversified resources and enterprises,
giving to every individual and to ev
ery section and to every interest the
greatest consideration based upon
righteous, honest, business methods
that will be conclusive of the greatest
possible progress and happiness of
the whole people—giving the greatest
consideration to both foe and friend;
hoping Georgia may go forward in
her development as never before, and
asking the loyal support of every
citizen to this end.
“I want td express my profound
thanks and gratitude for the indorse
ment that the people have given to
the clean campaign that it was my
desire to give to Georgia.
“My sole purpose is to serve Geor
gia and her citizens, in a manner
conducive to her great progress and
development.”
SAD AND SLENDER
As the present modes demand slim
ness, there is a furore of dieting and
exercising among Eve’s daughters to
coax their figures to conform with
the arbitrary standard.
Commendable as it is that these
lovely creatures should be abreast of
the times in manner of dress, there
now come tidings that there is a hid
den and grave danger in the methods
of reduction empioyed. Physicians
say that many who feel that they are
too capacious resort to violent ex
ercises and nonnutrive foods. At
least one popular motion picture ac
tress is reported to have died from
improper dieting which she pursued in
an effort to keep slim.
Nature has certain inviolate laws,
and those who dare to trifle with
them learn this truth to their sor
row. Better pleasant and plump
than sad end slender.—Atlanta

Research Work -of the
National Canners Association
'■A-IIE housewife who eagerly v.el-
Jg, comes new food given her
in canned products would b? as
tonished to know of the amount of
careful preparation and trouble that
goes to make her canned foods palat
able, sanitary and healthful. Her
neat shelves of convenient, prepared
foods represent much thought and sci
entific research.
Science has paved the way tor
every new advance in canning since
(be days when Nicholas Appert made
his first experiments in the canning
process more than a century ago. The
National Canners Association, organ
ised in 1907, soon saw the need for
organized research as an aid to its
members and in 1913, at the sugges
ti;-n of Dr. Harvey \V. Wiley, estab
lished its own Research Bureau, which
is now under the direction of Dr.
W. D. Bigelow, formerly Dr. Wiley’s
assistant.
The Research Laboratory at Wash
ington conducts investigations in chem
istry, physics, biology, bacteriology,
relative to the canning of foods and
the composition, nutritive value, ar.d
storage of canned foods. Its work
is closely correlated with several
universities: Leland Stanford, Har
vard, Maryland, University of Cali
fornia, and Columbia- University.
.In addition to these universities,
the laboratory is in easy contact with
the administrative and scientific offices
of every department in the United
States* Government, maintaining co
operation in many fields. Recently,

"COME time ago when in a
very nervous, run-down
condition,” says Mrs. Martha
F. Marlow, of Broken Bow,
Okla., "I tried numerous reme
dies to try at least to keep
going, but I could not. I was
weak and tired—just no good
at all. My back ached and I
had hot flashes until I was so
very nervous I smothered.
"I couldn’t sleep and I was
never hungry, and I kept get
ting weaker. I couldn’t stand
on my feet. This was an un
usual condition for me as I
had been pretty strong all
along. I knew that I would
have to do something, and
that pretty soon.
"Some friend suggestedihat
I take Cardui, and it certainly
was a good suggestion, for
after taking one bottle I could
tell I was stronger and better.
I didn’t quit I kept it up all
through the change and did
fine. I felt like a different
person after I began taking

five times as much vitamin of C is

cooked foods.
