******* " $ UNDERWOOD WILL NOT $ *; DESERT POST OF DUTY * fa.'l M • • W iii v 1 Has Declined All Invitations to Come to Georgia. & Invited By Albany Chautauqua. y*/ & , ~, W S» /»\ The action of Hon. Oscar W. Underwood, candidate for Prealdent of the United Btates, In stoutly •jj declining to accept any invitations that will take him away from his pest of duty at Washington, ri\ commends Itself strongly to the thinking people of Georgia and all others states In the Union, kmj While Mr. Underwood is sticking to his post of duty and earning his salary as a congressman, . ri\ at ,east one °f bis opponents Is traveling about the country making campaign speeches. The peo ‘J' pie of Georgia cannot but hold Mr. Underwood In the most profound respect for thus adhering to .1' /2t his duty to the people, even at the risk of losing the Presidency of the United States. It Is al- \wi? ■J' most like taking advantage of him to campaign over his territory under the circumstances. Mr. Underwood received numerous urgent invitations to come to Georgia. He was invited to wgJ speak at the Albany Chautauqua, where Goverhor Wilson of New Jersey speaks this week, but he ... fs\ declined. So anxious was the Chatauqua management to have him that they asked the assistance ysftjy /AW °* on - Q- R- Hutchens, Campaign Manager in Georgia for Mr. Underwood. Mr. Hutchens wrote Mr. Underwood, and this Is the answer he received: Committee on Ways and Means, .4. House of Representatives, Washington, D. C., March 11, 1912. Hon. G. R. Hutchens, jui Aragon Hotel, Atlanta, Georgia. >*v My Dear Mr. Hutchens: I am In receipt this morning of your favor of the eighth Instant, and regret exceedingly that /AW * was com P e bed to decline the Invitation of the Georgia Chautauqua, to deliver an address at Al bany, Georgia, In April, for I find that It Is Impossible for me to accept any Invitations to leave yjf juL here until the end of the session. If I accept one, I will be compelled to accept others, and to do so would seriously interfere with my work here, and would probably impair the effectiveness of Vfr iiy the legislation coming from my committee. I therefore feel It Is my duty to remain In Washington wi a 3 an d attend strictly to the work ahead of me. \?r /IV lam glad to hear that you are confident that the Georgia delegation will be favorable to myself, sjk/ I also have heard much good news, and feel confident that under your leadership our fight will Jk V be a successful one. With kindest regards, I am, >vr Yours very truly, O. W. UNDERWOOD. *fe€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€*r PRIMARY MAY Ist" Simon Pure Southerner in Presidential Race Hon. Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama, leader of the Democratic party, after seventeen years service In the house of representatives, is now a candidate for president of the United States. Under a ruling of the na tional Democratic committee, each state is allowed to hold a primary to express its preference and, under Mils ruling, Georgia will hold a primary on May 1, at which the voters of the state will say what Democratic candi date they wish to endorse. Mr. Underwood has been a powerful friend to the agricultural interests of the country. He is the author of the farmers’ free list bill. He put It through congress, and It would be a law now but for President Taft’s veto. He lowered the tariff on steel and other materials used In making farming implements. He has just recently Introduced a measure to take the tariff off of sugar. This will reduce tho cost of su gar at least two cents a pound. The government will lose $50,000,000 a year, as it will lose tho rovenue from the tariff, but Mr. Underwood provided for this ,ioss by putting a tax on the incomes of the rich. In other words, he took the tax off of the poor man’s stomach and put it on tho rich man’s poeketbook. He is the author of the great tariff hill, by the terms of which the tariff on all of the necessities of life Is lowered, including clothing, shoes and food. President Taft vetoed tills bill, but with Mr. Underwood in tho white house, the bill will become a law.

The Titanic was the fifth of the , White Star Liners to be the vie- ■ tim of accident in the last thirty ! years. The Atlantic was wreck ed off the coast of Nova Scotia Nov. 23, 1873, with a loss of 547 lives. The Naronic disappeared , ! twenty years ago and one of her .lifeboats was picked up near; where the Titanic sank; she was ! a freighter and had a crew of 55: and 12 cattlemen on board. The ’ Suevic went ashore near the > I Lizard and her 400 passengers! .and 100 crew were rescued. Then ! came the sinking of the Republic on Jan. 23, 1909, after her collis 'ion with the Florida 170 miles | outside New York harbor, on : which occasion the wireless was ! first used at sea to call for help, ! and half a dozen ships answered ! the call, saving all the passen ! gers and crew, although the ship ' sank. Two lives were lost on the Republic and four on the Florida! as the result of the collision.— Macon Telegraph.

Middlebrooks, govern ! ment, demonstrator for Bibb coun ! ty, is much encouraged. He says: “Your paper, The Telegraph, ; has taken such a leading part in the movement for diversity of crops, that I am glad to tell you 11 feel encouraged. I have found in my rounds many who are pay ing especial attention to pork raising. We can raise hogs in Bibb; they do it in Brooks. I have just been reading of the : immense shipment of meat from ' Quitman, Ga. Os course the sur ' plus is shipped. “I notice that one firm in Quit man has already shipped this season 75,000 pounds of bacon. Another firm shipped 40,000 pounds. This meat is shipped to various points, some to Missis sippi, to Alabama, and to South Carolina. The Brooks county ; farms are growing as famous as the Cairo, Ga., syrup. Brooks county raises not only enough for home use, but ships meat abroad as just related. “I will not be satisfied until I see Bibb county doing as Brooks. Why not?
