“Mr. Vote r ”
“Take Notice”
Gee Whiz—Good Night. Mr. Voter,
have you read it? I mean the unsigned
dodger that was gotten out yesterday
under the above heading. But my
What mighty men this Judge Hixon
and Tom Hudson must be. ONE HUN
DRED AND EIGHTY-SEVEN members
of the House ; (including Mr. Sheppard
and Mr. Wheatley), besides FORTY
FOUR members of the Senate (includ
ing Mr. McCrory, of this District),
a Governor and an Attorney General to
advise them. All of them just sat
there, after they had passed “this
law,” not only in the house, but also
THROUGH THE SENATE as well and
they just let this mighty Judge Hixon
through Tom Hudson block and de
feat this measure; just made them take
it back and withdraw and defeat it;.
My what mighty men these must be.
Mr. Voter, do you believe one word
of it?
Anyhow, Mr. Voter who is this un
signed, unknown and unnamed “DOD
GER WRITER” that offers you this
unsolicited eleventh hour advice; who
is ashamed to sign his name, or rather
afraid of an overwhelming and igno
minious contradiction of the facts
stated.
This Legislature referred to has
been adjourned more than thirty days;
since some seven days after the call
ing of this election, Mr. Watts has beef,
a candidate. Judge Hixon and Tom
Hudson have been right here and
haven’t even gone anywhere yet. Now
is it not fair to assume that this un
named “DODGER WRITER” who fails
to sign his name to this preposterous
statement, hag known all these fact?
all this time, and yet he waits to with -
in twenty-four hours of election daj’
and when he thinks it is too late to
make reply to stab an old Confederate
soldier in the back who is already
limping under the weight of years and
the lead he has been carrying since the
sixties, who has lived right here all
his life, except the four years of his

young manhood that he so freely and
(faithfully followed the Confederate
flag; and who has never been known
to take an unfair advantage of an ad
versary. Indeed, an old, outof-date
political trick this, always dishonora
ble and now universally condemned
by all fair-minded men.
Mr. Voter, do you approve of such
tactics; does not your honest South
ern manhood and sense of fairness
condemn it, and will you not express
your condemnation of such practice at
the polls tomorrow?
Now what was “their” measure that
was thus defeated? I have it in my
office for inspection, if you desire to
see it. It undertook to abolish the
office of Treasurer of Sumter county,
and made the Clerk of the Commis
sioners of Roads and Revenues th 3
Treasurer at a salary of $1500.00. Un
der this bill the Commissioners reserv
ed to themselves the right to name
the Treasurer of your County. Ws
simply insisted, first last and all th?
time and do now insist that the vot
ers of Sumter couny and not the Coun
ty Commissioners elect a Treasurer;
and had passed in the Senate a sub ■
stitute bill providing for a salary of
$500.00 and that the people elect their
Treasurer. This they defeated in the
House.
WHICH DO YOU PREFER: A
TREASURER ELECTED BY THE
PEOPLE AT A SALARY OF $500.00.
OR A CLERK NAMED BY THE COUN
TY COMMISSIONERS AT A SALARY
OF $1500.00 TO HANDLE YOUR
FUNDS?
This is what “Mr. Dodger” is tryinz
to dodge. Yours truly
JUDGE HIXON,
Through Tom Hudson.

SUMTER AFTER
LICENSE MONET
BIGHTFULLY DOE
Judge R. L. Maynard, for the count?
commissioners of Sumter, appeared be
fore Judge W. D. Ellis, of Fulton su
perior court Monday with an applica
tion for a write of mandamus coni ■
pelling Secretary of State Phil Cook
to pay the county its proportionate
part of the stae’s revenue derived
from the issuance of automobile li
censes.
The commissioners claimed that
on the basis of $2.67, Sumter county to
due $1,055, which has not been paid by
the secretary of state. This sum was
withheld from the county by Secretary
Cook, because over 10 per cent, of the
automobiles in Sumter county have nut
been licensed.
This th e commissioners admit, bui
they claim that the law requiring this
to be done is unconstitutional and that
the revenue is due Sumter county de
spite the lack of licensed automobiles.
Judge R. L. Maynara, county attor
ney for Sumter, filed the application
for the writ. Judge Ellis set Octo
ber 2 for a hearing and issued an
order requiring Secretary Cookk to ap
pear in court that day to show cause
why the writ should not be granted.
FELDER DENIES HE
WILL DE CANDIDATE
FDR GOVERNORSHIP
ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 14—Hon
Thomas B. Felder, of Atlanta, who is
taking a leading part in the fight tc
pass prohibition legislation at the
coming special session .issues a forma’
statement today denying point-blank
the rumors published in the Rome
Tribune-Herald and elsewhere that he
would become a gubernatorial candi
date.
“My activity in behalf of the pro
hibition bills is inspired neither by po
litical or pecuniary motives, but on
the contrary I am acting simply as a
private citizen,” he declares.
“I have not the slightest intention
of becoming a candidate for governor,
or for any other public office. When
the prohibition bills shall have beer
passed, which they are certain to be,
the initial step will only have been
taken toward ridding Georgia of the
liquor traffic. The duty will theu
devolve on the citizens to see that the
law is enforced, and to that end my
efforts will be directed.
“Enemies of the prohibition bills
ar e attempting to make it appear
strange and peculiar that I should now
be advocating the passage of these
bills after representing the liquor in
terests for many years as a paid at
torney.
“To these I desire to reiterate the
fact that the liquor interests and my
self parted company at my instance.
To them a public official whether of
high or low degree, is a man to be
influenced, if they can reach him,
whether the means of reaching him bi
legitimate or corrupt. With such cli
ents, I could no longer travel except
at the sacrifice of my self-respect.
“I have been the target of threats
and abuse, but the liquor interests
might as well realize now as later,
that no slander, or intimidation, or
persuasion, will deter me from the
course on which I have entered.
“My advocacy of the prohibition bills
has not brought me one dollar in at
torney’s fees and no one knows this
better than th e interests which are
seeking to discredit my efforts and my
motives.
“The people of Georgia has recent
ly seen a two-thirds majority in the
house unable to enact prohibition leg
islation. The house will never be
master of its own deliberations, and
the people will never be able to carry
out their wishes through their duly
elected lawmakers until the
rules are abolished.”

The Journal De Geneve states that
