Let’s no/iinate Bill Harris in the
first primary and have no run-off elec
tion.
There is only one good thing that
ran he said of the kaiser. Whatever
he may he, ho is never a nonetity.

Howard is very Sly, but the people
of Spalding county cannot he fooled
nor mislead by misrepresentations.
The overwhelming defeat of Cole
Blease in South Carolina is not very
encouraging to Hardwick and others
of his calibre.

Jergor has discovered that the Cov
ington News is almost as lurid as the
Atlanta Journal is its effort to bolster
the failing cause of old man Billsly.
The patriotic women of Spalding
county are ready for the approaching
Liberty Loan drive. They are ener

It is said Mr. Persons expressed a
desire several days ago to see Mr.
Wise come out in the public prints.
Well, the able congressman “writ” a
card last Sunday that is sufficient to
make the Monroe candidate sit up and
take notice.
o
The presidency of the United
States has many advantages and some
disadvantages. One of the disadvan
tages is that the president can only
take his summer vacation under the
protection of a guard of soldiers.

Wartimes are wonderfully develop
ing. Which of us has now the same
mental attitude that he had a year
and a half ago? And which of us
would he willing to go back to his
former one?

It is said that a “river of whiskey"
whose estimated value was nearly SJ.-,
000.000 was burned in Kentucky. In j
that particular ease it appears not to
have been a difficult matter to set
the river on lire.”
STAND BY HARRIS.
The News and Run learns that there
is a disposition on the part of some
voters in the city to wait until after
the returns come in from the country
before casting their ballots in the pri
mary election on September 11th. Wo
have heard several voters say that
they intend to wait and see how the
country districts are going before
voting in the city.
There is trickery in such a scheme
and the practice is dangerous. Sup
pose. fo'f instance, that Thomas W.
Hardwick should happen to have a
lead in the county districts, would
loyal Democrats and patriotic citi
zens change and vote for the junior
senator because he happened to be in
the lead? Would it not he the proper
thing to combine on the strongest
candidate before the election ami vote
solidly for him in the primary? That
is one sure way of defeating the jun
ior senator, who lias been an obstruc
tionist of the administration and ;
not worthy of re-election because he
has misrepresented the people of this
country in the greatest forum on
earth.
There is no disputing the fact that
William J. Harris is the strongc-t
man in the senatorial race, despite the
fact that a few traveling men and
disgruntled politicians are running
around the country circulating false
reports and attempting to make it
appear otherwise. Mr. Harris has
been indorsed by the president, who
is not attempting to dictate to t> e
people of Georgia how they shall \ te.
hut is anxious to see a man elected j
senator who will stand by the admin
istration and help make it as easy as
j possible for the boys fighting in the
! trenches. From all sections of the
j State come reports showing that Mr.
j Harris is going to be overwhelmingly
j elected. Let’s combine on the strong
t est man and stand by him. Let’s re
■ ! pudiate Tom Hardwick at the polls on
' most convincing way possible that
• the people of this nation are loyal
citizens and will stand by the presi
' dent in making the world safe for
J I Democracy, humanity and justice.
Stand by Harris.

Uncle Sam has built several thou
* 1
'sand miles of railroads and miles of;
docks and wharves in France for the!
uses of his army. In one city he has;

I a million loaves of bread a day; in
'another the largest refrigerating
!plant in the world. There is nothing
’ too good for Uncle Ram’s hoys.

NIAV CAMPAIGN CANARD.
| Now that the senatorial campaign
jis nearing an end his enemies see the
j handwriting on the wall and realize
j that William J. Harris is the leading
[candidate, the campaign liar, who is
always on the job, has just been die
covered by Mr. Harris from a now
and different angle. It is being told
from mouth to mouth in some locali
ties that he is not a member of any
church, while in other localities it is
being circulated around that he is af
filiated with a certain religious de
nomination. All of these reports are
obviously circulated for the purpose
of prejudicing a certain element of
voters. The fact is that Mr. Harris
has been a member of the Presbyteri
an church since he was seven years
old, and all of the members of his
family, or at least a majority of them
are members of the same religious
faith.
In this connection attention is call
ed to the fact that the ministers of
Georgia are supporting Mr. Harris
with practical unanimity. He has
spoken in seventy-four counties and
states that he has been assured the
personal support of every preacher
he has met, with only four exceptions.
This fact itself is a testimonial of the
clean and upright personal character
of the gentleman whose candidacy for
the United States Senate is indorsed
by President Wilson. Although it is
j not felt by Mr. Harris or his friends
'that the question of religious denomi
nation should enter into the senatorial j
contest, at the same time in justice j
to him the Harris campaign head- 1
/quarters desire to brand as false the!
above mentioned reports which are
being circulated under cover.
With the senatorial election now
only a few days off. Air. Hat iis is
more confident, than ever that he will
carry 125 counties, which was the
number he originally gave.

Congressman Wise made a highly
interesting address at 1 homaston
I Saturday in which he went after his
I I opponent, Ogden Persons, with gloves
. jotV. taking the position that he had
!not raised a single national issue, and
i exposing his legislative record on
1 1 which he is basing his candidacy for
. !election as congressman. Mr. Wise
• 'made an unusually strong point when j
i 'hi* asked why Mr. Persons, being in
- 1 1In' draft age, unmarried and having
•'plenty of money, does not serve his
>'country bv going to the war.’

Griffin people recommended Doan’s
Kidney Bills. Here’s a Griffin resi
dent’s statement.
Mrs. J. B. Bridges, 614 W. Solo
mon St., says: “1 have used Doan’s
Kidney Bills with very satisfactory
results. I suffered quite a bit from
headaches and dull pains about the
small of my back for more than a
year past. Sometimes l was so lame,
j I could hardly get around and I felt
I dizzy and unsteady. My kidneys
didn’t act as they should and a friend
I advised me to use Doan’s Kidney
| Bills. 1 got a supply at Brooks’ Drug
.Store and my kidneys felt better in
every way. 1 am very grateful to
Doan’s for this benefit."
Mrs. Bridges gave the above state
ment March 25, 1008 and on March
28, 1018, she added: “I wish to con
firm the statement I gave in 1908.
Whenever my kidneys have felt a lit
tle disordered since, 1 take a few
doses of Doan's. They put my whole
system in good condition."
