GEORGE WINS EASIL V
IN RACE FOR SENATE
DEFEATS GOV. HARDWICK IN
TUESDAY’S PRIMARY TO NAME
SEN. WATSON’S SUCCESSOR—
McGREGOR ALSO ELECTED.
Atlanta, Oct. 18.— Walter F. George
was overwhelmingly nominated, with
304 unit votes, as successor to United
States Senator Thomas If. Watson in
yesterday’s special democratic primary,
according to unofficial returns com
piled by the Atlanta Constitution.
The victory of Judge George mark
ed the second defeat of Governor T.
W. Hardwick as many months,
and accrding to political observers,
showed that the Watson block of ap
proximately 50,000 voters, remained in
tact and voted almost solidly for the
former supreme .court justice.
Os the 160 counties in the state,
George carried 125, giving) him 304 or
% more convention votes than the
required 208 for nomination, accord
ing to the Constitution’s compilation.
Governor Hardwick carried 28 coun
ties, with 76 unit votes. Seaborn
Wright 7 counties, with 22 unit votes,
and John R. Cooper none, the news
paper’s figures showed.
Definite reports of the popular vote
in 71 counties gave George 27,914;
Hardwick 19,026; Wright 7,063; and
Cooper 400, it was stated. Inclement
weather in almost every sefction of the
state caused a very light vote to be
cast. Hardwick’s defeat yesterday
was worse than in the race for renom
ination as governor last month.
C. E. McGregor, who acted as Sen
ator Watson’s spokesman a short time
before the latter’s death and spoke
throughout, the state in the interest of
Watson’s opposition to Hardwick in
the gubernatorial campaign, was nom
inated state pension commissibner in
a field of five candidates, according to
the Constitution’s returns.
1 The state democratic convention is
to meet in Macon October 28th to
confirm the results of yesterday’s pri
mary. The convention nominations
are considered equivalent to election
in the general election of Nov. 7.
How They Voted In Toombs.
Owing to the delay in compiling the
vote in Toombs county officially, it is
! impossible to give the vote in detail (
! by districts, but we understand that
• Judge George carried the county by a
j majority of about two hundred.
The Montgomery County Vote.
According to the- consolidated re
turns in Montgomery county, Govern
or Hardwick received a total of 279;
George 240; Wright 4; and Cooper 2.
The, county went for NJajor McGregor
for pension commissioner.
The vote will be given by districts
in our next week’s issue.

TAXICAB LICENSES NOW j
PAYABLE SAYS COLLECTOR
Josiah T. Rose, collector of inter
nal revenue for this -district, has issued
a statement warning taxicab opera
tors that the United States license
tax for such vehicles is now due and
payable and that failure to procure a
proper government license for oper
ating a taxicab will make the owner
liable to a fine of SIOOO .or twelve
months in the federal penitentiary.
“The federal automobile taxicab
tax has been in effect since January
Ist, 1919,” said Mr. Rose. “It pro
vides that the owner of every taxican
seating less than seven people must
pay a license tax of $lO annually, and
a tax of S2O annually for every car
seating! more.than seven people. The
tax for the remainder of the year will
be $7.50 for the smaller cars and sls
for the larger cars. This fee would
entitle the owner to operate until the
50tit of June, 1923.”
COUNTY AGENT IN
DESTRUCTIVE MOOD
WANTS FARMERS TO USE PICRIC
ACID IN BLOWING STUMPS
—ALSO WOULD STAMP OUT
HOG CHOLERA.
County Agent Tyre of Montgomery
County this week has two very des
tructive thoughts in his b/ain, and has
asked us to put them before the pub
lic. M. Tyre is a gentleman of very
quiet and orderly bearing, and any
destructive elements seem foreign to
his nature and inclinations.
But he wants to see at least two
things destroyed, and the soojier tne
better for the farmers of this section.
Just now Mr. Tyre js arrayed against
hog cholera, whether prevailing in
this section to a great or lesser ex
tent. Many Stock raisers have com
plained that when wanted they can
not find a veterinarian for the treat
ment of their hogs against cholera.
And when they want the “vet” theyj
want him right away. Therefore,'
when the veterinarian is wanted, it j
only remains for the farmer or stock
raiser to communicate with Mr. Tyre
at Mt. Vernon and the hog doctor
will be forthcoming. Mr. Tyre ap
pears to know at all times where to
vfind the veterinarian and will gladly
tell any farmer where to get on to
'him.
I The other thing against wmch Mr.
LYONS HOST TO THE
DANIEEL ASSOCIATION

BAPTISTS OF THIS SECTION IN
THIRTY-THIRD ANNUAL SES
SION ON WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY OF THIS WEEK.
The thirty-third annual session of
the Daniel! Baptist Association con
vened Wednesday morning at Lyons,
with practically all ministers and ev
ery church in the association repre
sented by good delegations. The as
sociation came to a close Thursday af
ternoon .
A number of splendid sermons were
heard by the gathering, the introduc
tory sermon Wednesday morning be
ing preached by Rev. A. D. Woodle,
pastor of the Lyons church, Rev. J.
T. B. Anderson of Vidalia preaching
the missionary sermon Thursday at
11 o’clock.
Reports from the different churches
shows that every department of the
church work was moving forward in
a gratifying manner.
Quite a number of prominent Bap
tists of this section of the state were
in attendance on the association.
Tyre’s wrath is burning is those old
stumps that abound so plentifully in
many a field in this section. They
grow old, but with age do not lessfln
their grip on the ground, where in
many places they are as thick as the
leaves of autumn—to obstruct and to
make successful farming impossible.
Uncle Sam has allowed the farmers
of the South to buy picric acid at
cost for blowing stumps and similar
work, and it can be bought for seven
cents a pound, freight added. If you
need some of this new-fangled dyna
mite, which they say is safe to use,
see Mr. Tyre and he will get it for
you.
Now, the county agent docs not
have time to peddle out this stuff in
his flivver, but when sufficient number
| of parties want it, a carload is sent out
| to some central point, from which it
|is divided out. Picric acid is said to
be very effective and economical in
the matter of inviting stumps from
the soil —or for moving anything else
that has grown too permanent for
ornament and where the space is
needed for something else. ,
If the stumps bother you, try the
picric acid remedy. Mr. Tyre will
tdl you how to get it.
