To the Voters of the Twelfth Con-1 gressional District of Georgia : I am a Republican candidate for the National Congress from the Twelfth Congressional Dis trict ot Georgia, and respectfully solicit your support and votes. First. I favor full and complete protection for every Americun citizen’s life, liberty and property wherever he may be under the ! J si n. Second. I favor a high protec tive tariff for the protection of our working people, and for the purpose ot raising revenue to run the iitfuirs of our National Gov ernment. About eighty per cent, of our national wealth is due to a protective tarilf. Watch free trade Great Britian fall over herself to get a high protective tariff for herself and colonies at the close of this war; her national life will di pend on it. Third. 1 especially favor the largest Merchant Marine in the world, so constructed and suf ficiently subsidized,by our govern ment as to make it instantly available in time of war as a powerful auxiliary navy, and in time of peace to carry our com merce to every nook and corner of the civilized world. Had we such a Merchant Marine every farmer would be selling his cotton today at 25 cents per pound, Fourth. 1 especially favor in tervention and annexation of Mexico, 1 ill ink the southern bor der of the United States should he the Panama Canal. It is the Christian duty of the United Sla tes to spank Mexico, to feed, educate, clothe and house Mexico, and make Mexico a part, of the United States. This must and speedily will come. Those of you who oppose the annexation of Mexico should favor turning hack to war-ridden Mexico, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and Cali fornia, that was hut yesterday a part of Mexico. If you especially oppose the annexation of Mexico you should favor giving back to the American Indian, the original owner, this greut country of ours. Fifth. I fayor National Prohi bitum, 1 have arrived at the con clusion that alcoholic drinks nave no place in the affairs of u civili zed nation, on account of the crime it produces and the lowering in efficiency of its people. Sixth. 1 favor National Wo man’s Suffrage, and had it not been for the arrogant bigotry of man handed down from the dark ages she would have been voting a hundred years ago. Seventh. I especially favor amending the joke, the farce, the makeshift, the vote catching act as passed by the last National Congress known as the “Land Bank Act” I want this national legislation so amended as to make ninety per cent, of any amount up to five thousand dollars avail able to any individual farmer of good character who wishes to in vest same in land on which to build liis home and farm; tins loan to bear interest at not more than 5 per cent, mid to he payable at any time within twenty-five years. This is the only way that the growing menace, tenantry and landed aristocracy of the South and West can be broken up, which will one day undermine the very foundations of our government. Eighth. I oppose witli all my being the pork-barrel appropria tions as now conducted by Con gress lor rivers and creeks that were never intended by nature to he navigable for anything hut. u fisherman's bateau. J favor spend ing this money on a national highway all the way around, about fifty miles from the border of our country to he used by the general public in time ot peace, and that would he so absolutely necessary forthe protection of our country in ti me of war. Ninth. 1 want to see the po litical solidity of Georgia and the South broken up. I want to see Georgia become a doubtful state like Indiana, Illinois. New York, etc. Georgia and the South will never prosper and come into her own tiue greatness until its politi cal solidity is broken up. The next President of the United j States, Hon. Charles E. Hughes, had this same idea in mind when he said at Helena, Montana, a few days ago. ‘‘l want to see the] South built up, it can be built up, I lit never will be built up however without Republican principles being applied. I think many of I | the Southerners are beginning to realize that.” Yours very truly, J. M. Oim.KK Hogs For Sale. About 200 head of good meat hogs; good condition.

State College Os Agriculture Many people are preparing to plant peach and apple orchards. At plant ing time, the location of the orchard 1b not always given the consideration that it merits. At marketing time lo cation is very, very important, llow well is the orchard located with refer ence to railroad facilities? How far from the loading station? What sort of roads must be used to haul over? These are the questions Ihe orchard ists should answer before planting. A large peach grower who was only two miles from the loading station, found, during a rainy season, that the job of hauling the peaches from his packing shed to the cars was tremen dous. After the first few loads, the roads became very badly cut up, later they became almost impassable. Thoro are very few places where conditions make it advisable to plant a peach orchard over three miles from the loading point. Apple orchards are suited to more distant planting, but usually four miles Is the limit. As long as there Is an abundance of suitable land near the railroads, use it. The difference in price is very seldom sufficient to justify the differ ence in cost of hauling. Yet, the ac tual cost of hauling does not tell the whole tale. Cars move away from the depot according to freight relied ules and also come into the depot iri the same way. The orchard closest has an advantage in getting his fruit moved quickly, and this is of spe cial importance with peaches.
