Monday morning, .completely destroy
ed the residence in Oconee Heights
owned by I. B. Barwick and occu
pied by G. W. Hadden.

awakened shortly before the roof fell
in and saved hut a small amount of
household goods. He carried a small
amount of insurance.
Monday morning about 8 o’clock a
dwelling on the farm of Jack McNeill
was burned. Tt is supposed the fire
was of incendiary origin,, as the ten
ants spent the night away from home.
Mr. and Mrs. G. L. Rabun and
daughter of Savannah visited rela
tives here last week.
TWO HOG SALES TO BE
HELD DURING SEPTEMBER
Much interest is being manifested
in the co-operative hog sales to be
held for this section this month. At
Alston on September 20th and at Ailey
on September 22nd, a good lot of hogs
will be offered for sale, and farmers
who have finished hogs will have an
opportunity to turn them into cash.
These sales have been very profitable
and interesting, and are becoming
more and more a sure and speedy
way for the farmers to realize on
their efforts in livestock raising.
County Demonstrator Tyre of Mont
gomery county has been very active in
working up these sales and it is quite
probable that success will crown his
efforts and Montgomery county farm
ers, as well as those of adjoining ter
ritory, reap pecuniary benefits from
his work. Every farmer should at
tend, if only to get an insight on these
modern sales methods.

POLITICAL “DON’TS” FOR
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13
Don’t vote for Hardwick if you arc
an old Confederate soldier, or a rela
tive of a soldier, or if you believe the
South owes a debt of gratitude—not
charity—to the grand old heroes of
1861-5.
Don't vote for Hardwick if you are
a laborer, and believe that “the laborer
is worthy of his hire,” and that the
laboring man is being ground to death,
under the heel of the big corporations. /
Don’t vote for Hardwick if you be
lieve it was wrong to spend the rental
of the Western and Atlantic Railway
—the state’s property—five yers in
advance, and thus depriving the public
schools of the state of reveune that
rightly belonged to them.
Don’t vote for Hardwick unless you
want a one-man government in Geor
gia; unless you think the present gov
ernor has more brain than all the bal
ance of the state combined. -<
Don’t vote for Hardwick unless you
value a loud-mouthed braggart above
a man who is willing to concede that
the other fellow has a little intelli
gence too.
Don’t vote for Hardwick if you are
a friend to Tom Watson. Never was
there a clearer case of the starving dog
biting the hand that fed it.
Don’t vote for Hardwick unless you
want to turn the entire state govern
ment over to one man, irrespective of
the wishes of the people, as expressed
through their representatives In the
General Assembly.
Don't vote for Hardwick if you are
a member of the Ku Klux Klan, or if
you are desirous of keeping alive the
traditions of the old South, and believe
in preserving to the South the memory
of the hooded and robed 'night riders”
v/ho sacrificed and dared :n order that
our fair Southland mil lit not lit;,dom
neered by negroes, scalawags and :
carpetbaggers. <
Don’t vote for Hardwick unless you
believe it war right for the governor
to stav the execution of negro rapists
in a neighbor county of ours—and in
«o doing bring about a lynching—yet
who sat complacently by and alio ved
the gallows to claim as its victim a
19-year-old boy that mental experts
declared to hav" the mentality of a
small child.
Don’t fail to vote for CLIFFORD
WALKFR if vou want a clean, brainy,
gentlemanly fellow in the governor’s
chair for the next two years.
