THE GOVERNOR’S RACE.
i At has been the custom in late years
in Georgia the people, or at least par
■ ties of people, are busy searching out
the platforms of the various candi
dates for governor.
The latest feature to be added to the
interest is that of the lynching evil.
I Dr. Rembert G. Smith, pastor of the
First Methodist church, at Marietta,
has sounded Governor Harris and Dr.
L. G. Hardman on the lynching ques
tion —and they responded in the very
manner in which they were expected,
and the only way they could have an
swered. They denounce lynching, vio
lence and assert that they are in favor
I
of law and order. What else could
have been said.
It is to be hoped that no man in
Georgia would announce as a candi
date for the high office of governor,
if he did not believe in—at least, say
that he did —enforcement of all laws,
;hnd especially as to lynching. So the
feature which was a feature, was real
ly nothing but a re-statement.
As to prohibition, there is no ques
tion. Governor Harris has that thun
der. By his acts he established him
self as a prohibitionist, and no candi
date could offer himself for the posi
tion in opposition, pleading prohibi
tion.
Georgia politics—and every other
kind of politics—is a question of per
sonalities, and not principles.
HALF-COCKED AGAIN.
The Jacksonville Times-Union, al
Florida newspaper, is so unkind to
print the following paragraph:
"Remember that Georgia’s cli
max of crime was reached when
she refused fair trial to a man
because he was a Jew. What of
.hose v.l o would have us believe
that a Jew is unfit to become a
justice?”
It is just such class rot that makes!
real and true Georgians feel severely
the touch of discriminating and un-:
true assertions made by people outside'
of the state. They don't know' what
they are talking about. But a busy!
man hasn’t the time to stop and whip l
every flee dog that barks at his buggy
Ki heel.
WE’VE BEEN LOW?
Speaking of their editorial, the
Americus Times-Recorder says, “In a
few days the devil will be writing our
paragraphs.” The editor and devil,
jointly, have been composing ours for
some time, but both of us are already
running low on material.—Lumpkin
Independent.
It’s the past tense for us, Brother
Anglin, we've about run out.
Some one suggests that we might
give the Philippines back to Spain.

brine as corporal in the home guard.

"What is the farmer to do for fer

see in several daily papers. He had
best do without, if he don't get any

paying freight on entirely too much
sand anyway, when he buys the aver
age guano shipped out these days,—
Pembroke Enterprise.
It is not a good day for Georgia
dhen her people become indifferent to
their military organizations. It shows
a lack of appreciation of their work, a
lack of reverence for law, dearth of
respect for constituted authority, a
paucity of state pride, and. worst of
all, a lukewarm patriotism.—Waynes
boro True Citizen.
The farmer who puts in a heavy

Three In One
Chicken Eggs
Are Sight
We know the days of miracles are,
supposed to be gone, and many of us
laugh now at that wonderful story of
the goose that laid the golden egg, but
vten the cover was taken from a bas
ket Saturday and their contentss laid
to view, we thought the age of miracles
had returned.
, The things which caused us to think
. this were eggs, just the same kind they
I use or. "bum” actors, and in restau
’ rant pies. But these eggs were three-
I in-one and resembled more an ostrich j
| egg than a staid hen of Sumter would
lay. These eggs were laid by some
single-combed Rhode Island Reds be
longing to Mrs. W. L. McNeil. And this
is just one more illustration that even
the chickens of Sumter don’t do things
by halves.

I OVERWORKED MINISTER
Tells How Vinol Restored Strength
And Vitality.
Americus people will realize that
v, ? could not publish such letters as
■ ’.he following if they were not genuine
’ nJ truthful statements of facts. The
,I’v. Mr. Hughes, Holly Springs, Ark.,
isays:
"I am a Methodist minister, and
I suffered from broken-down nerves,
loss of appetite and sleeplessness. 1
vas weak, my circulation was very
i poor, and I was not able to do my
I duty in my parish as I felt I should.
II had tried various remedies but did
not seem to get any better. Through
Mr. Gatlin, of Bearden, Ark., I learn
ed of Vinol, and it built me up. I
regained my appetite, can sleep bet-
iter and do more work.”
There is no secret about Vinol, it
derives its power to build up the over
worked, broken-down, nervous syetem
from the medicinal extractives of
fresh cod livers without oil combined
with tonic iron and beef peptone.
Anyone in Americus who wishes to
try Vinol can do so with the under
standing that we will return their
money if they are not satisfied. Hooks’
