The Progress regrets toi see the disposition of some to want to bolt and vote for some one else. In Grady county we notice that the ticket,, which was printed in a local print shoo, and whose man ager was opposed to Hon. Hoke Smith, has so arranged the ticket that a blank space is left under Mr. Smith’s name so another can be easily substituted,,while the balance of the ticket is printed so no name can be substituted. This may be honest. Every man who participated in the pri mary is in honor bound to vote for the nom inees. Below is what The Herald has to say: “Our state general election will occur next Wednesday, October 5, and in view of the fact that persistent effort is being made to drive a dissenting, dividing wedge into the body of the Democratic party of the state, The Herald begs to submit a few thoughts and suggestions on the subject of duty, and good faith from the standpoint of those who participated in the August pri mary. Pin the first place, let us say that it is the duty of every voter who participated in “Mr. Thomas E. Watson, who is going about over the state making speeches and urging the people to disregard their pledge and dishonor their party loyalty by voting for governor for another than the nominee of the primary in which they participated by common consent for the purpose of as certaining the will of the majority is offer ing an affront to every honorable Demo cratic voter whom he approaches with his demoralizing proposition. His arraignment of the “steam roller” method adopted by the majority faction in the state convention following the primary should not be accept ed by honorable men and loyal Democrats as a justifying excuse for breaking faith with the party organization. The Herald is not going to undertake to defend all that was done and the manner in which some things were done in the state convention. We have already expressed our opinion on these things, but there is nothing in the situation which .lustifies a Democrat who participated in his primary in bolting his party and refusing to accept in good faith the verdict of the majority of the party family as rendered at the ballot box.” T9 RAISE FUNDS ARE HOMESEEKFERS Prospectors Coming In Every Week Looking Over Grady County’s Farm Lands.

Cairo established herself as a cot ton market for several years and is continuing to increase each year.

I am reliably informed by good law abiding citizens of the county that a great many dog owners have not returned them for taxes, if my friends throughout the county will co-operate with.me in finding out who these parties are I will do all in my power to see that the taxes ire paid. Not only are there dog tax dodgers but people who do not. own dogs try to dodge tax every year, I have caught many of these in the past. Get a list of all hands working at these mills and turpen tine stills turn over to me and I will guarantee over half of them will be tax defaulters. * Respectfully, R. W. Ponder. Special Sermon.
