VERNON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1922. 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. HEMSTITCHING.

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 1 —■* 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. NO. 23
