these outside property owners join
ing in the election of school sup
erintendent in Americus?
“Doubless that suggestion would
appear quite ‘crude’ to Arthur.
“No, the fair minded and, justice
loving and law observing people of
Americus do not wish the privilege
of helping to select or elect the
Americus school superintendent.
“Nor do they appreciate the priv
ilege of the primary extended to
them by the very accomodating exe
cutive committee.
“Down in their just souls they
resent your action and quite likely
many of them will throw back your
unsolicited privilege and repudiate
your ‘crude’ solicitude.
“Again, Arthur contends that
since the boundaries of the Amer
icus school district do not coincide
with the boundaries of the 27th
voting district, therefore there is
no way of separating the county
vote herein from the city vote here
in.
“As if two sets of ballots could
not be prepared, one free of the
County School Superintendent
candidates names, the other carry
ing their name. As Mr. Small
does not know the number of voters
in Americus which could be de
ducted from the total vote cast in
the 27th, thereby arriving at the
exact country vote in the 27th.
“Great God of Israel could any
thing more ‘crude’ be conceived
than the illogical arguments pre
sented by Arthur to be accepted and
absorbed by the intelligent voters of
good old Sumter county, both in
the city and in the rural divisions.
“As ■!> understand the matter, the
executive committee was appoint
ed to promulgate fair and just rules
for the guidance of the voters and
not to pass upon the ‘crudity’ of the
sacred laws of the great common
wealth of Georgia.
“Now, personally, if i were a
County School Superintendent can
didate in this primary and this rule
of the committee should stand un
revoked I would withdraw from the.
contest, as a solemn protest against
the injustice of the committee’s ac
tion,
“In my topinion Who ever may b<
the fiominee in this contest his titie
to the office will‘be deeply cloud
ed. That which is polluted at tl e
source will be polluted to the end.
And personally, I would have the
office clean or hot at all. These
being by sentiments, should the rule
stanjl unrevoked, I shall conscien
tiously refrain from expressing my
choice" for County School Superin
tendent in the primary One vote
forbidden by law, in my humble op
inion,-. will vitiate the final Result.
“Let law, justice, and fairness
prevail and all will be well with
grand old Sumter now and ever
more.”
Muncie (Ind.) bootlegger has
been arrested three times in three
weeks, but it doesn’t seem to be
often enough.

Buick Character
Makes Buick Value
Buick value is something more than appears
on the surface. It is more than the excellence
and beauty of Buick design—more than the
greater riding comfort, power and safety that
Buick provides. Buick’s value comes from
the sum total of all those Buick qualities and
traditions which together make up Buick
character. A Buick owner fully appreciates
Buick character. He knows the dependable,
satisfying and trouble-free transportation
which Buick gives, however long or however
far a Buick owner may elect to drive his car.
