it must have been very hot re
cently at Colquitt. The Millei
County Liberal stated th it-publi-
cation had been delayed because
the press rollers had melted.
Sir Joseph Beecham (he of
pills) has just sold nineteen acres
of mil*, in the heart of London
for $30,000,000. For that sum
we would even part with our own
estate.
We admire President Wilson’s
course in conferring with the
leading business men of the coun
try, but feel slightly peeved be
cause we were not included in the
invitation. However, we have
hopes that some good may result
from the conferences.
The dayp of the County Treas
urer are numbered in Georgia.
This legislature will probably
give the people an opportunity tc
vote on the question this fall and
the people have decided that the
County Treasurer is a luxury.
Instead of paying a man to han
dle the County money a good and
solvent bank will be found willing
to pay the county for the privi
lege of safeguarding and hand
ling the funds.—The Empire
State.
Atlanta and other citi es have
the golf bug worse this year than
ever before, especially since the
completion of the beautiful new
Druid Hills Golf club. Just now
the city is all worked up over
the showing of young Perry
Adair, the best boy golfer who
ever swung a driver.
Perry Adair, though only fif
teen, was second in the South
ern championship recently played
in Memphis, and was an easy
winner in the Montgomery, Ala.
invitation tournament, where he
beat some of the crack players
of the South. He is a son of
George Adair and a nephew of
Forrest Adair, two of Atlanta’s
foremost citizens.
“Farmer Jim” Price, commis
sioner ef agriculture, refuses to
become angry because his oppo
nent, J. J. (Guano Agent) Brown
accuses him of “hob-nobbing
with the weather man”.
"The weather man is really a
very fine and interesting gentle
man,” said Mr. Price. “The
weather bureau is designed prin
cipally for the service of the
farmer and I find it worth while
to keep closely in touch with it,
not only as commissioner of ag
riculture but as a farmer my
self.”
Mr. Price is a f; r ner first of
all. His plantation is one of the
best in Oconee county, and he
makes his living there. It is at
least one case where a Georgia
official is in a position to know
something about the work of his
department.
Does Advertising Pay
The other day a local merchant
elevated his chin, squared his
shoulders, assumed a belligerent
attitude, ant defiantly told ut
that “advertising doesn’t pay.”
He is still alive, but let us con
sider a minute:
A London baronet who manu
factures pills has sold a part oi
his real estate for the tidy sum
of $30,000,000. He made it out
of the profits of his business 1 ,
and he built that business up by
alvertising, often spending as
hifh as half a million dollars a
year in printer’s ink.
John Wauamaker, the best
known and most successful mei-
chant in this country, made hi
millions by advertising, and said
so.
The great department stores of
the country are kept alive by
advertising, and are coining
irioney by more adverfsing.
You never hear of a large mer
cantile house in this country that
does not advertise, and advertise
heavily. •
If a politician wantes to make
himself known to the dear people
he uses the most effective means
—newspaper publicity. That
is adverti ing.
If a new son arrives at your
house you are keen to have it
“put in the paper,” where your
friends will see it, thereby ad
vertising the fact that you are
walking on eggs.
If the editor called you a thief
in a two line item, and stuck it
away in the most obscure corner
of the paper, would you pass it
by in the belief that it” would
never be noticed-?”
Never! You would consider
yourself defamed before the en
tire community, and would paw
up the earth in your bellowings.
You would be only to quick to
concede that every line in the
p iper is read.
Yes, advertising certainly pays.
There is no ad so small, or in
significant, but what some one
i3 waiting for it.
There are plenty of people who
want what you have to sell, but
they are weary of looking
through a hay stack for a needle
They prefer to find it in an ad
vertisement. And they will
look in a local paper for. the ad.
Toey will find someone’s but will
it be yours?
Thomas E. Watson’s announce
ment that he would take the
stump for Little Joe Brown and
make the welkin ring has caused
quite a bit of stir around Geor
gia, Mr. .Watson’s fame as an
orator of the “hot shot” typp
will no doubt win him plenty of
hearers even where his opinions
are-not favorably received. 1
Mr. W atson is expeced to ac
company his praise of Little Joe
by an equally hearty denuncia
tion of William J. Harris, candi
date for governor, for Mr. Har
ris assured Mr. Watson some
time ago that his support was
neither asked nor desired. The
Watsonian eloquence will be lent
therefore to the aid of Brown
and Nat E. Harris and toward
whatever harm it can do to Hoke
Smith and William J. Harris.

ARE YOU QUALIFIED AS
A GEORGIA VOTER?
Don’t ask the candidate to measure up unless you
apply the yard-stick to your own coat-tails.
What should a good voter do?
THINK 1 ANALYZE 1! COMPARE!!!
Now in sending a man to the United States Senate,
the responsibility is upon YOU.
It is your sacred:duty to your State to vote for the
best man. .•
Think of the office of United States Senator, then
think of
JOHN M. SLATON.
Does thd office need experience?
JOHN M. SLATON has it. Twenty years of tried
fitness.
Does the office require breadth and magnanimity?
There is nothing narrow in JOHN M. SLATON. He
is always kindly disposed.
Does the office require a God-fearing man?
Ip Christian virtues, JOHN M. SLATON rings true.
He is loyal to' his Church and Sunday School. It is not
generally known that he is at the head of a large Bible
Class. '*
Does the office require a self-made man?
JOHN M t . SLATON earned and saved the money
which gave him his education. He had the hard knocks
of bitter experience. He won success through hard
work. He was a farmer’s boy with only the prospects
before him of thousands of other Georgia boys, now on
the farm., v
Does the office require a man of poised attain
ments, and well balanced judgment?
JOHN M. SLATON as a United States Senator will
be the peer of men most noted for service to their
States, to the Nation, and to the Democratic Party.
Does the office require a successful man ?
Character first considered, success should be count-:
ed in. JOHN M. SLATON’S slogan has always been
“WORK, HARD WORK”. His success as a young man
was the result of applied toil. His advancement at
the bar came because he had the capacity to stick hard
on the job.
Now if^SLATON measures up as a candidate, YOU
should measure up as a voter.
Consult your conscience as a voter acting fo? the
best interests of the State.
