BARNESVILLE. GEORGIA
OCTOBER 26, 1922.
editorial notes.
Well, Andy Gump’s campaign is
still' on for congress, and hiR race is
one of the most exciting which the
country has yet witnessed. But
somehow, we are fearing something
will happen to Andy’s campaign be
fore it closes that will bring him
grtat disappointment.
The surprise in the senatorial pri
mary last week was the unparalleled
vote given Judge Walter F. George.
He carried 128 of the 169 counties,
giving him a total county unit vote
of .‘llß. Everybody familiar with
conditions expected Judge George to
win but not with such an overwhelm
ing majority. Governor I homas W.
Hardwick made a tremendously poor
showing, even worse l'ian in the re
cent race for governor, when Hon.
Clifford Walker defeated him by an
overwhelming vote.. Governor Hard
wick has only once been given a suc
cessful vote in a state-wide election
and that was in 1920, when the late
Senator Watson elected him gover
nor. It is very doubtful whether he
will ever be able to gain the confi
dence of the people of the state suf
ficiently to be elected to any office
again. However, he states that he
will probably never again offer for
office, announcing that he will re
sume the practice of law and publish
a newspaper in Atlanta.
—o
Hon. Seaborn Wright of Rome
made something of a spectacular
campaign but few people were sur
prised at the small vote he received.
He is a good, clean man but if he
had been elected he would probably
have carried his campaign tactics into
the senate, which would have largely
destroyed his usefulness. Among his
first utterances in his campaign for
the senate he tried to make an issue
out of what he termed the “Albert
Howell-llugh Dorsey crowd.” That
was the effort of the demagogue and
the people answered it as they should
have done. Howell and Dorsey were
against Hardwick and for George, as
they had a right to be, and the state
was with them. There are no truer
men or better citizens in Georgia
than Albert Dowell and Hugh Dor
sey and they should be and will be
recognized and honored in the fu
ture as in the past by the citizens of
the state.
People are tired of elections and
when the general election of Novem
ber 7th is over they can forget about
them for a while and turn their at
tention fully to other things. There
is plenty to do with affairs looking
to the general rehabilitation of the
country and everybody should get on
the job with the purpose to make
some improvement if possible every
day. It may be a hard and tedious
task but it must be done.
Senator William .1. Harris was
given a strong and an enthusiastic
endorsement as a man and as sen
ator by the Democratic Executive
committee at its meeting in Atlanta
last Friday. The resolution was of
fered by Chairman G. E. Maddox of
Rome and unanimously passed. It
was a timely and proper action by
the committee. The truth is Sena
tor Harris is making Georgia one of
the most influential and serviceable
senators the state has ever had. He
is diligent and faithful to ait unusual
degree and the practical results he
is obtaining in legislation is of vast
benefit to the stnte and country. He
is a Christian gentleman and is al
ways found on the right side of is
sues affecting the moral and ma
terial welfare of the people. His
record as senator deserves the heart
iest approval of all the people.
It ia gratifying an d encouraging to
hear farmers expressing the purpose
to get down to “brass tacks" in their
future operations, after having gone
through two* or three of the most dis
astrous years of their lives. The
losses which many of them, nearly
all of them, in fact, sustained in the
deflation, reinforced as this was by
tlie fearful devastation of the boll
weevil throughout this section, were
sufficient to discourage and to really
daze them, but they, at least, wheth
er conditions have or not, have be
come normal and they are ready to
“go to it.” They have become con
vinced that they can make cotton
despite the boll weevil and if condi
tions are at all favorable they are
going to produce a reasonably good
arop of cotton. They are not going
back to the old way of farming but
■will grow cotton, and a sufficient
quantity of other products to help
them along if their cotton should
fail. They have learned to operate
at small expense and what they do
produce will be at a profit, with
which they can begin to reach back
and pay old debts. It is going to
take time but prosperity is certain
to come to them again and they will
be better off than ever. Everyobdy
must be cautious but we are all mu
tually interested and must help each
other in every way possible. The
banker, the merchant, the profession
al man, the farmer and .all must
stand together and lend each other
every possible assistance until pros
perity has been won back and every
man is able to “hoe his own row”
again. There is going to he a notice
able improvement throughout middle
Georgia during 1923. Mark the pre
diction.
MOTHER!
Open Child’s Bowels with
“California Fig Syrup”
Even a sick child loves the “fruity”
taste of “California Fig Syrup.” If
the little tongue is coated, or if your
child is listless, cross, feverish, full
of cold, or has colic, give a teaspoon
ful to cleanse the liver and bowels.
In a few hours you can see for your
self how thoroughly it works all the
constipation poison, sour bile and
waste out of the bowels, and you
have a well, playful child again.
Millions of mothers keep>‘Cali
fornia Fig Syrup” handy. They
know a teaspoonful today leaves a
sick child tomorrow. Ask your drug
gist for genuine “California Fig
Syrup” which has directions for ba

on bottle. Mother! You must say

tation fig syrup.

Now that! the fairs and other re
cent attractions are only memories,
the students are trying hard to for
get these things and fix their minds
on real study once more.
The members of the two literary
societies are looking forward with
much interest to the inter-society fall
term debate which will be held Satur
day night, November the eleventh.
The subject for debate is: Resolved,
That legislation should be enacted in
the State of Georgia providing free
text books to all pupils in the Gram
mar grades. The Lanier Society will
be represented by Rufus Daniel and
Ahvyn Middlebrooks, who will argue
the affirmative side of the question,
and the Grady Society will be repre
sented by J. L. Bailey and Charlie
Martin. The speakers are working
hard on their points and a very inter
esting discussion is expected. These
debates are always attended by a
rtrong friendly rivalry and the best
of society spirit is shown on both
sides.

How Much Do
You Know?
You see a suit. It has no brand
name in it. It looks good. And
it fits well. You buy it. You
depend on your own judgment.
But do you know how well it
will stand the strenuous test
of everyday wear?
Or how long it will continue
to please?
No—you're simply taking a
chance. But how different

A Griffon suit carries with it a
definite guarantee. It assures

faultless tailoring in every line.
Besides —it costs no more than

experienced team. Marist has a
wonderful team and will compare
favorably with any prep school team.
They used the jump shift to perfec

crippled players handicapped the A.

in Macon Friday promises to be a
good game. According to paper re

this game, but our team will be there
