GILLIS, Treasurer Montgomery County. 1 THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY MAY 11, 1916. Our Support of Governor Harris. The editor of The Way has no personal interest either in Gover nor Harris or Dr. Hardman. The only individual request we ever made of Governor Harris he re fused to grant. But our personal feelings are one thing; the situa tion as it exists in Georgia with reference to prohibition is anoth er. When under the leadership of Hooper Alexander, the prohibi tionists of Georgia had the near beer evil on the run in 1909, Dr. Hardman, at the crucial point, turned up missing. When in 1915 the liquorites were laughing in their sleeves thinking that they had again fastened the near-beer and locker-club hypocrisies on Georgia, Governor Harris took the step which enabled the prohibi tionists of the State to put an end forever to both of those evils. Epithets with reference to the editor of The Way do not alter these very simple facts. We have nothing to do with the conduct of Governor Harris’ cam paign. We have never consulted him concerning it and he has never consulted us. Were he today to repudiate the personal supDort of the editor of The Way, it would not deter us from point ing out the self-evident fact that the cause of prohibition, both in Georgia and throughout, these United States, demands the re election of Governor Harris. This is not to gratify the ambition of Governor Harris, but to prove that Georgia really stands for prohibition. A minute’s thought will con convince you that without the vote of the liquorites in Georgia Dr. Hardman can not hope to become Governor. The Way does not speak for the Anti-Saloon League nor for Governor Hai ris, nor for any other organization. No strings are attached to this paper. We have no ax to grind. We have no personal fight with Dr. Hardman. But we would be recreant if we did not point out dispassionately the sinister effort being made to punish the Gover nor of Georgia for ending the liquor traffic in the State. You can not afford to be a party to that plot.—The Way. A Popular Georgian. The popularity of Hon. William J. Harris, Georgia’s member of the federal trade commission, among his home people was warmly emphasized at the state convention held in Macon Wed nesday. A really exceptional feature of that convention was the ovation tendered Mr. Harris at the men tion of his narfie by Permanent Chairman John W. Bennett. Chairman Bennett spoke of Mr. Harris as a Georgian of ability and distinction, one who in his own success still remembered his state first and foremost, sought to do everything hf*'could for it, land possessed the unusual honor of cordial intimacy with the pres ident. The chairman’s remarks con cerning Mr. Harris were greeted with extraordinary applause, amounting to an ovation. It is a , rather unusual thing for a Geor gia convention thus signally to honor a man who is neither of jficially before it nor a participant ;in its deliberations. But in the lease of Mr. Harris it was a spon ' taneous outburst, and through the representatives of Georgia's 152 counties it signified thees-l | teem in which he is held all over j the state. j The tribute is the more gratify - : ing in that it was well merited. Mr. Harris occupies a position of ; rare importance, and is doing his jduty nobly to the nation, while ( while not overlooking “the folks at home.’’ The spontaneous tribute of the convention was a fitting tribute to the man.— At lanta Constitution. If we never meet again it will j be sad, and because you have not 1 paid your subscription. U Performed Last Service. w, Into the jeweler’s shop came a simple-looking old chap, with a quaint, old-fashioned kitchen clock under one arm. “I want you to look at it,” he said, as he laid the timepeice on the counter, ‘‘and tel! me what’s wrong.” The jeweler removed the dial of the clock, screwed the magni fying glasses onto his eye, and, poked about in the clock’s inte rior. ‘‘Nothing wrong with it now,” he announced presently. ‘‘lts sufferings are over.” £I“Well, what do I owe you?” asked the customer, thinking he had repaired the clock. ‘‘Nothing,” replied the shop man. ‘‘You’re mistaken. This isn’t professional treatment. It’s a coroner’s inquest!” Notice From Commissioners. State of Georgia, Montgomery County. < Mfioe of the Board of Commission ers of Roads and Revenues.
