PRICE HAS FINE RECORD;
IS A PRACTICAL FARMER
Wh-C
To tho People _ot Georgia:
I want you to know that 1
am n candldato for ro olootlon an Com
missioner of Agriculture. In view of
the fact tlmt the duties of my office
make It impossible for me to got into
evory county of the State, I take this
opportunity of appealing to you for your
endorsement and base my plea solely
on what has been done by the Depart
ment during my administration.
I am a prnetlcal farmer and have fol
lowed this occupation all my lifo. It
was natural,- therefore, tlmt I' should
fool a keen Interest In. the problems con
fronting the farmers of Georgia. I
wont into the Department with an ambl-
ttou to be of practical service to the
MM thousands of Georgians engaged In ngrl-
, _ culturo, stock raising and similar pursuits.
J. ». PRICE. Let mo toll you brlofly, without dis
paragement to any of my predecessors, wlmt the department has done
under my administration tho past twelve months.
As Commissioner of Agriculture, my duties have Involved the In
spection and regulation of the sale of fertilisers, illuminating oils and
gasoline; carrying out the provisions and requirements of the pure
food and pure feed laws; tho work of a department of animal husband
ry with an expert veterinarian In charge, and the far-reaching activi
ties of the State Department of Entomology.
During the first FIVE months of the present year 11,109 samples
of fertilizers wore taken, an Increase of 1,584 samples, as compared
with tho ENTIRE year of 1913. Of this number 2,672 were of the
"special” kind, in. which reports of analyses are sent direct to the
farmer In order that he may know the results before the official bulle-
. tin Is Issued; and thlB number exceeded by 1,035 the total number of
special samples taken In any previous season, meaning that more than
1,000 more farmers were given the advantage of special reports
on tlielr fertilizer purchases.
I have turned Into the State Treasury to be used for the education
of .the farmer boys and girls of Georgia more money than has ever
been turned In by the State Department of Agriculture for a similar
period. •
During tho year ending June 30, 1014, we have analyzed 1,196 sam
ples of foods, feedstuffs and drugs. Results of analyses have In every
Instance been sent to both'manufacturer and consumer.
The work accomplished by the State Entomologist, the State Veteri
narian and the State Oil Inspector In their respective departments, has
been equally notable and a full account of it is given in my annual
report to the Governor.
I am urging and shall continue to urge the enactment of legislation
that will strengthen the work of the department and render more effect
ive existing laws relative to pure foods, feedstutTs, fertilizers and- pre
vention of Infection to plants and animals.
. It Is my desire to have the Department of Agriculture render in
creasingly active and effective aid In the development of this, one of
the greatest agricultural sections In the world. 1 am confident that
tlie scope and usefulness of the department can be steadily increased
along all linos, and to this end I pledge my earnest and faithful service
in the event you give me your endorsement at the polls on August 19tli.
In addition to' tho record of what the department lias accomplished
! during my administration, there are three points in my personal record
which, I believe, bear directly on the Issue in this primary;
I am the only candidate for Commissioner of Agriculture who has
always been an organized Democrat and can point to a record of life
long loyalty to the party.
I am the only candidate for Commissioner of Agriculture who is not
and has never been connected with any fertilizer or guano company.
I am the only candidate for Commissioner of Agriculture who Is a
practical farmer. I have farmed all my life and I derive my living from
the. farm. The law which created the Department of Agriculture ex
pressly states that the Commissioner must be a "practical farmer."
Both on my personal record, therefore, and on the record of what the
department has accomplished during the past year, I a3k your sup
port at the polls on August 19, and pledge you my earnest and faith
ful service In the event I am re-elected.
(Signed) J. D. PRICEr
Commissioner of Agriculture.

JAMES H. BROWN
PHONE 251 THOMASVILLE, GA.
The announcement of Hon
Toseph M. Brown, for the U. S.
Senate, has already set the old
lire to burning. When the bitter
fight between Little Joe and Hoke
eame to an end fours year ago,
Cl\e people of Georgia said in no
uncertain terms: ‘‘We are tired
of factional politics.” When
Hoke Smith was elected to the
U. S. Senate many people were
heard to sa.v; “if Hoke doesn’t
make good, his political career is
ended.” Just how near he has
come to making good you can
judge by the expressions”of peo
ple who. were-against him then,
but who aie for him now.
The leaders of Farmer’s Or
ganizations throughout, the cot
ton belt have been asking for a
law to prevent gambling in cot
ton. Hoke Smith has been
square on the job fighting for
such legislation. The Smith-
Lever bill, to extend.farm de
monstralion work, which is noth
ing more nor less than the teach
ing of practical agriculture on
the farm, to the farmer and the
farmer’s bog, who has not the
means to take an agricultur, I
course at the colleges'of agricul
ture, is one of the most impor
tant pieces of legislation enacted
during the present session o!
Congress. A bill to establish a
Division of Markets is the work
of Hoke’s own hand and was
asked for by the leaders of the
Farmers Union.' There are many
other bills that the common peo
pie have asked for. Read his re
cord and see if he has not stood
by the masses in fighting, for
legislation that would bettei
their condition. Little Joe told
us in his campaign for governor
that ‘‘he could not make a speech
but he could make a governor.”
In the halls of Congress a mar
must be a speaker and a debatei
to accomplish very many great
feats.
I have an appeal to mdke to
my fellow-citizens of. Grady
county. Let’s hake one clean
election: not fraught with bitter
ness and factionalism. Two
years ago I made a plea for clean
er politics. The September grand
jury of the same year made a
plea for the same thing through
their recommendations. The
Grady County Farmers Union
have more than once made a si
milar plea. The Democratic Exe
cutive Committee should and will
make a ruling I believe declaring
no candidate elected who uses
money, whiskey.or any other
corrupt methods to secure votes.
Our fore-fataers bought the right
of suffrage with their noble
blood. Let’s hand it down to
our children as a pricel ess heri
tage. The Roman Republic with
all it’s splendor, glory and learn
ing, went to decay because her
citizens sold and bartered away,
her right of suffrage. Hear me
my fellow-countrymen don’t sell
that.-saceed right.
I have no axe to grind, no foe
to punish, every card I have ever
written on public issues, I have
signed my name beneath it-, that
the people might know where I
stood. Let’s do some good
wherever we can, and face our
fortune like a man. Let’s raise
the standard of our citizenship.
Let’s respect the law, and the
other fellows’ feelings too. So
long as law is law we should re
spect it. If we have an unjust
law we should seek to have it re
pealed.
Just now we hear a great deal
about the convict law’s and the
public roads. Public sentiment
is the origin of law. A few years
ago, public sentiment said the
convicts were cruelly treated,
and no man disputed it, hence a
law was created to work them
on the public roads. .
When we worked the roads
with hoes and shovels a few peo
ple did the work while the others
otood around and told smutty
yarns. Public sentiment said
we want a law that will put the
Luiden of road working on all
alike hence came the Alternative
old way better; can wo have it
repealed by local legislation? I
think the constitution of " Geor
gia says: A local law cannot l o.
passed where it conflicts with a
general law. If I am not mis
taken about the year 1903 in
Dooly or Macon counties, a law
was passed Wnich sought fo re
peal the alternative road law bu*
the Supreme court ruled that it
was unconstitutional. The grand
jury, by recommendation, mukes
or puts the alternative road law
into operation in the several
counties of the state. Is it not
through the grand jury that this
law is repealed? Will some good
lawyer give us some light on this
issue; wont it be necessary to
change the convict laws first be
fore we seek to repeal the road
laws? This is a question that
the voters should understand be
fore they can vote intelligently.
Certainly we want to vote in
telligently on all issues of impor
tance. P. H. WARD.
