The psychology bacx of this movement, of course is to appear to place the Democratic party in third position. By doing this it is figured by G 0. P. strategists, all good con servative votes will be swept into the Coolidge column, since the real conservatives, whether Demo cratic or Republican, are first and foremost, anti-La Follette. If the conservatives in both parties can thus be rounded up under the Coolidge banner, the managers for “Canny Cal” fee’ they will have accomplished a double purpose They will have elected their candidate and simultaneouss’.y given Democratic pride and pres tige a blow from which it may be long in recovering. * * • September, however, will find the Democrats in massed attack in an effort to force some of the salients in the Coolidge fortifications. One of the first points of attack will be the “Republican Campaign Text Book.” In this volume, which consists of more than 400 pages of fine type, is presented the Republican EBELIN & COMPANY I 15 Broad St. New York City We solicit your patronage in the trad ing of cotton in units of ten bales or more.

I Democrats, however, purpose to make the Republican "Text Book” the source lor Democratic texts also. But the Democratic sermons will dwell on what the book doei not say, rather than on what it does. Nowhere in the book, for in stance, is the name of Harry M. Daugherty, late attorney general, to be found. Yet the Demcrcats will point out he was a big part of *he administration for which effusive credit is given Coolidge.

Apropos of the president’s rather sour visage, one of the younger and less reverent members of the offici al family is said to hhave remarked; “Coolidge was weaned on a pickle.” By those who have had occasion to test the rather acid quality of the president’s sarcasm, this phrase has been dubbed a stroke of genius. » » » Dr. Stanley Rinehart at last has his revenge for being the husband of a popular novelist. A life story, prefacing a volume by him on “The Common Sense of Health” says: “He .began his medical practice in Pittsburg, where in 1896 he married a trained nurse, Mary Roberts.” In the bookshops, Mary Roberts Rinehart heretofore has held the spotlight, completely observing friend husband. For this once, at least, she is relegated to second place, becoming simply “A Trained Nurse, M<ary Roberts,” who be came the wife of Dr. Stanley Rine hart. pjiqSfte’j the * Boss ’ TVow IB HS» Only a short time ago Hoke Smith, famous political veteran, was the “boss” and Miss Mazie Crawford, Cordele, Ga., was his secretary.

Provision for financing t.re u<- pertinent is contained in the tax levy already decided upon by tne commissioners, and to be formal : ordered at their next meeting. This work was undertaken last January after the commissioners had gone carefully into the subjec , and at the suggestion of the Rotary club and other civic organizations. In the beginning the activities of the health department were directed primarily toward the elimination of malaria, and the extent to which this has been accomplished already is shown by letters from Dr. W. S. Prather, Dr. Herschel A. Smith and Dr. E. B. Anderson, accompanying the report of the health board to the commissioners. Dr. Prather, in a letter address ed to Dr. J. W. Chambliss, as a member of the health board, as serts that “Typhoid fever cases are reduced to almost nothing; malarial conditions have so improv ed that I do not believe there is twenty-five per cent of malaria .n Americus, as there was five years ago, and epidemic diseases have been almost entirely controlled.” Dr. Smith is equally emphatic in his commendation of the work of the health authorities saying “I have treated fifty per cent less ■malaria cases this year than any other since 1917. There isn’t any question but that the City of Am ericus is free of typhoid fever, due to the fact that the people are tak ing typhoid serum.” Dr. Anderson, in his commendation of the work of the department says that “it is my opinion that malaria in Sumter county has decreased at least fifty per cent during the past year—dun to the public health efforts.” In addition to these statements, Dr. Anderson calls attention to the hearty endorsement given this work by the Sumter County Medical So various counties operating under the Australian Ballott system in the j next few days, it is stated from the Democratic State Executive Com mittee. eiety at the meeting of that body /n Juqe - r ,th, when tie work accomplished to that time as well as the program of future ae Hosiery Specials Regular $1.50 value, Women’s Silver Star, Clox Hose, a very unusual value, special for Wednesday and Thursday, per pair, only Another Early Season Another One Misses Special Misses, Three- three-quarter length, regu quarter length Hose, a lar 50c value hose, special regular 60c value, special while they last, only per for only— pair— -39c 19c H.
