MR. WISE INDORSED.
The Sixth district congressional
convention at its meeting in Macon
Saturday passed resolutions heartily
indorsing and approving Hon. J. Wal
ter Wise, the present able, faithful
and popular congressman from the
Sixth district, for his loyal, earnest
and effective co-operation as a mem
ber of the most important committee
on military affairs and on the floor of
the house, in the prosecution of meas
ures for smiting the Hun to his doom,
as well as his faithful and diligent
care for the interest of his own im
mediate constituents.
The convention also commended
President Wilson and his administra
tion for their wise, patriotic and ef
ficient conduct of the affairs of the
nation in the crisis through which we
are now passing and pledged them
the support and comfort of their loy
alty and sympathy in thought, word
and deed.
The two resolutions were very ap
propriate and deserved by the presi
dent and congressman.
Congressman Wise, who is seeking
re-election, has wrought well for the
people of his district, having been
prominently instrumental in the con
sideration of many laws of national
importance. He enjoys the esteem
and confidence of his constituents
whose interests are always safe in his
hands, and there is little doubt that
he will receive a splendid indorsement
in the approaching primary.

JUDGE W. E. H. SEARCY, JR.
The News and Sun, whose editor
was among those urging the appoint
ment by the governor of William E.
II Searcy, Jr., as judge of the su
perior courts of the Flint circuit to fill
the unexpired term of the late Judge
Robert T. Daniel, takes pleasure in
indorsing his candidacy for the en
suing full term.
Judge Searcy has made a most
creditable record on the superior
court bench, having discharged the
duties of this responsible office in
such an able and satisfactory manner
that there has been no talk of oppo
sition and there should not be any.
The lawyers and citizens of all the
counties in the circuit are well pleas
ed with Judge Searcy ami his election
to the full term will meet their hear-
ty approval.
Every grand jury in the circuit has
inuorsed him and recommended him
for re-election without opposition, re
al.zing that in him the circuit has one
of the ablest presiding officers of any
superior court circuit in the State.
During his term of office Judge
Searcy has impressed the people that
he is peculiarly fitted for the judg
ship by reason of his ability and inti
mate knowledge of the law. He is
quick to grasp every point in each
case brought before him and his de
cisions have been fair and impartial
at all times. His charges to the
grand jury have been unusually bril
liant and made a profound impres
sion upon all in the court rooms. He
has been uniformly courteous to the
lawyers and others throughout the
circuit and is a most amiable gentle
man whose friendship is always to be
desired.
Than Judge Searcy there is not a
more able and popular superior court
judge in Georgia and having made
such an excellent record upon the
bench it is highly proper that he
should be re-elected without opposi
tion. i

Our army of summer goods are fast retreating, being driven
out by our sales-people with heave re-inforcements of New Fall
Goods.
For the next few weeks during August we shall have some of
the hottest weather of the year. Consequently we have been, and
will be very busy selling the remainder of our large stocks of sum
mer goods, in both ready-to-wear and piece goods.
We are selling all kinds or pretty dress goods today at prices
•that are far less than actual manufacturer’s cost at the mills. People
are taking advantage of our good buying and laying in supplies of
staple stuff as well as the fancy goods.
In our ready-to-wear department will be found numerous
bargains in silk dresses that are being cleared out to make room for
the vast stock of ladies suits that will soon begin to roll in by express.
in spite of the high cost in these war times, we are proud to
say to our friends that we will have the most wonderful line of
Ready-to-wear, for both men and women, boys and girls, Shoes for
the entire family, Dry Goods of all characters, Millinery for ladies and
boys that was ever assembled in any one store in this section of
Georgia.
Hence our store will be a place of extraordinary interest to
