Mount Vernon, Ga.. Thursday Morning, April 23, 1914.
Ii begins to look like Uncle
Sam will have to give Huerta a
spanking-
Some fellow has already called
up the Japan bogie, and we
haven’t fired a gun at the Greas
ers.
The “also rans” fall into a
hopeless minority when we cast a
glance at Georgia’s “mentioned”
clans.
P.lease and Huerta, these two.
But Huerta may. soon leave the
South Carolina warrior far in the
rear when the smoke of those
battleships begin to gracefully
curl along the coast of Mexico.
It. has been the boast of this
great nation that the poorest hoy
in it may aspire to the highest
positions. But just at this time
it really seems that this aspira
tion is being ovi \\ or! ed in Geor
gia’s gubernatorial race.
Greed for office, from the cor
oner’s place to the highest office
in the gift of the state, is hinder
ing the great Umpire State of
the South in its march towards
the highest ideals in government
and social standards.
The tempests may howl and
the loud thunders roll in Georgia’s
political whirlwind, but when the
smoke is all cleared up the man
who will he depended on to keep
the old ship afloat is the solid old
farmer whose real empire is his
bountiful home and self-sustain
ing farm.
From the days of Oglethorpe
to the present time Savannah has
always known the real meaning
of hospitality, and the gathering
of delegates there this week to
attend the National Drainage
Congress will find the old city
still pulsating with the throbs of
genuine welcome.
We are getting closer to that
county fair for this county Many
of our people had tin ir eyes op
ened by the count v school con
test and exhibit here last Satur
day W ithout even a hint of
woman suffrage, we believe we
could pick a half dozen lady
teachers that could turn old
Montgi mory county inside
out in agricultural ami education
al matters.
Montgomery county teachers
have abundaut cause to feel
proud of the success that crowned
their efforts here last Saturday
in the school contest and fair.
This event, that ought to be
made a permanent thing, has
done more for our people than all
the political conventions since the
first reading of the Declaration
of Independence. '•
The two great truths in the
following paragraph from the
Macon Telegraph cannot quite
cenceal the tine bit of irony pro
truding: “Goorg>a leads all
Southern States in tin number of
automobiles owned and is also
one of the largest importers of
meat, corn and other con nod
iti s that couM be raised at
home”
We like these words from Gov
ernor Slaton’s formal announce
ment for U. S. senator: “The
interests, rights and pros, erity
of my state shall be my fiist con
sideration. Rei senting the
state of Georgia, I 1 > ieve a fed
eral senator is an ambassador to
the national.'council from the
sovereign state. I believe with
equal conviction that what is best
for Georgia is apt to be good for
the nation.”
► Gleanings From <
t Wisdom’s Field. 3
► aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa *
Lyons Progress:—Three men
were executed in New York
Monday for murdering a gamb
ler. In Georgia some times men
are set free for murdering a re
spectable citizen.
Darien Gazette:—The Gazette
is waiting patiently for the rest
of the politicians “to take the
matter under consideration” be
fore “taking to the woods.” Hur
ry up, boys, and get in line—but
don’t crowd.
Fitzgerald Press: Fitzgerald
is not the only section in which
there exists doubt as to whether
the law is properly enforced, but
nothing could be more gratifying
than to see it made one of the
few sections which stand out
head and shoulders above their
neighbors by reason of their re
spect for law and order.
Tattnall Journal:—Charlie Ed
wards is one of the most influ
ential men in congress today,and
the voters of the First Congres
sional district are going to keep
him there, too-
Greensboro Herald-Journal
Some people dread to part with
money so bad that every time
they pay the preacher a quarter
they look up and sing: “God
be with you till we meet again.”
Nashville Herald: —We have
twenty-nine candidates in Ber
rien, with no one for judge of
the city court or state senator.
We want at least forty candidates
before the lists close.
Atlanta Journal:—There are
men who have never seen a base
ball game, and there are Geor
gians, too, who have never sought
office.
Hawkinsville Dispatch-News:
Hon. J. Randolph Anderson, of
Savannah, has entered the race
for governor. As president of
the state senate he is well known
all over Georgia and will no
doubt be given a strong support.
Macon Telegraph: Anyway,
Huerta will always understand
that those stars and stripes rep
resent the dignity and honor of a
great country and are not to be
trifled with.
Brunswick Banner:—Some peo
ple are pointing out Oscar Un
derwood's election in Alabama as
a repudiation of President Wil
son. This is just about the most
idiotic way of sizing up a situa
tion that has ever come to our
attention.
Valdosta Times: Reports are
saying that when John Lind gets
home he will at least talk to his
\\ ife. We can’t exactly see how
he will have any opportunity
then.
Dublin Courier-Herald:—Ma
con is getting almost as bad as
Atlanta. If they elect many of
their candidates, next year we
will hear how the “Macon ring”
is hogging all the offices.
Savannah News: —This seems
to be the season of ultimatums.
First. President Wilson sent one
to Huerta, and then Secretary
Garrison sent one to Gov. Blease.
Thomasville Times: The split
between Joe Brown and Jack
Slaton will be like the split in
the gown of a modest woman—
too small to notice and properly
lined.
Lincolnton News:—South Car
olina's gubernatorial army is
j quite large, but after all it hasn’t
nuch on Georgia, where ten can
diu..tes for a like honor have al
ready been announced.
THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR-THURSDAY. APRIL 5-3.1914
Save the “Whisky”
»
Two Scotchmen had been hav
ing a good time on the heather
downs of a little island and were
rowing back home across the
firth, says Dean Mortimer Cooley,
of the University of Michigan,
when the boat capsized. He told
the story to the Engineers Club
says the Detroit Free Press:
Angus had clung to the boat
and Jock, who had clung to the
bottle, was floundering bravely
in the deep- Although a poor
swimmer, he struck out for the
skiff, holding the bottle in one
hand. After a few strokes he
began to falter.
“Angus.” he cried, “I dinna
thenk I can mak’ it.”
“Well, if ye canna mak’ it,
Jock, throw it,” called back
Angus.
Didn’t Need Books
Gov. Miller, of Delaware, re
marked not long ago that even
book agents sometimes fail of
achievment through unforseen
misunderstandings, relates Lip
pincott’s Magazine:
An affable agent of this sort
approached a Texan whose rec
ord he had previously acquainted
himself with-
Colonel, said he. those are
mighty fine boys of j|>urs.
The finest ever stranger, ac
quiesced the Colonel, the finest
in Texas.
I reckon you buy them any
thing they want?
Why sure, stranger, I buy them
anything they need whether they
want it or not
Then, Colonel, let me sell you
a cyclopedia for them. There is
nothing else that will benefit
them so much.
The colonel looked at the agent
in astonishment.
Why, stranger, said he, them
boys of mine don’t need no cy
clopedia. They ride mules.
Lost Cows.
Two cows driven from Sharpe’s
Spur to near Soperton are estray.
One a cream color, with 1 slipped
horn, marked swallow fork and
underbit in one ear and crop and
a split in the other. The other
cow black sided with frosty back,
marked two splits in one ear, one
split in other. Both cows haye
calves. Will pay $5 for their re
covery. H. H. Odom,
Rt. 1, Soperton, Ga.

Cardui is purely vegetable and gentle

effect, on the womanly constitution.
Cardui makes for increased strength,
improves the appetite, tones up the ner

sallow cheeks, fresh and rosy.
Cardui has helped more than a million
weak women, during the past 50 years.

done for them. Try Cardui today.
