LARGE CROWD HEARS
CAMPAIGN SPEAKERS
The first campaign speeches of
•he Brown Smith contest for the
United States Senate were made
at the court house here last Sat-
irday when Hon. Grover C. Ed-
nondson, of Quitman, addressed
crowd of about 600, in the in-
erest of former Governor
Brown’s candidacy for the long
term in opposition to Senator
Smith, while Hon. Roscoe Luke.
«f Thomasville, espoused the
:ause of Senator Smith.
.Col. Edmondson, who spoke
Irst, was introduced by • Capt.
Stone. Mr. Edmondson plunged
nto his speech with an earnest-
less and enthusiasm that met
vith much response.
He assailed the record of Sena
tor Smith; attacking him for try-
ng to “hog” all the. patronage
riven the two United State?
Senators from Georgia; and foi
ligning his own commission to
the U, S. Senate, after being
lected to that office by hi?
‘own” Georgia Legislature,
lather than entrusting his elec
:ion to the will of the people at
che primaries. Mr. Edmondson
laid that Mr. Brown was against
the common, practices used by
Labor Unions in bringing capital
co terms; also, that Mr. Brown
vas against the present tax law
low in force in Georgia, and op
posed the institution of such?
aw when he was governor.
The speaker praised former
Governor Brown’s . record a?
chief executive and described
“thejittle man frojn Marietta'
as being a man who was not
afraid. ’ .
He was followed by Hon. Ros-
aoe Luke, of Thomasville, who
spoke in behalf of Senator Smith.
Mr. Luke devoted most of his
time to praise of Senator Smith,
tie said he should be returned
for the sake of the administra
tion as it needed him. He also
said that he considered Senator
Smith the strongest man in Con
gress. .
He was cheered heartily
throughout his speech in which
he cited the important measures
chat Smith had helped to enact;
stated that Smith was of the live
Democratic type that is making
the party a success and this ad
ministration safe and sane. He
stated further, that a card writ
er could never accomplish any
thing in the United States senate.
When asked by someone in the
crowd as to his own appoint
ment to the-office of district at
torney Mr, Luke said he was not
worrying_about that, that there
were plenty of good Democrats
who could; fill that position, but
none could fill Senator Smith's
olace. He praised the adminis?
tration which he said he consid-
e:ed the best since the war.
Mr. J. J. Brown, candidate for
Commissioner of Agriculture,
ilso made a speech in the inter
est of his candidacy,
The court house was filled to
its capacity and the crowd fre
quently applauded the three
speakers and the speeches were
listened to closely- and greatly
enjoyed by the large crowd.
Pelham and Moultrie Railroad.
PLANS LAID TO HELP
Senator Hoke Smith conferred
With a number of senators fron
cotton growing states Mondiv
about the situation of the cottoi
market growing out of the Euro
pean war, and the effeet of the
wat upon the price of cotton,
They agreed to call a confer
enceof the senators and mem
bers of the house from cotton
growing states, to be held in th.
Democratic caucus room of the
senate next Monday night todis
cuss ways and means to aid th<
farmers in protecting their cot
ton if Europe is involved gener
ally in war.
Senator Hoke Smith suggested
two things for the consideration
of this conference.
First—The quesjtion of ship?
floating the flag nf the Unite!
States and thereby being free
from interference, to carry the
cotton crop both to European and
Oriental ports.
Second—The problem of financ
ing the surplus crop.
Referring to the subject, Sena
tor Hoke Smith said:
“Of course, I still most earn
estly hope that a general Euro
pean war may be averted. But,
already in consequence of the ap
parent probability of war, the
price of cotton has been substan
tially depressed and the feeling
of dread has been created. I be
lieve it practicable for legislation
to be passed which will bring at
once under the flag of the Unit
ed States many vessels and
thereby ■ make it certain
that cotton can' be shipped
to England and to other parts of
Europe and -also to the Orient
with safety. This will immen
sely help consumption. I believe
that the conference of the sena
tors and members of the house
from the cotton growing stntes
will result in the appoi itmentof
a committee to study the finan
cial problem so as to aid in caring
for a part of the crop.
“Just how this may be done I
am not able to suggest at this
time, but it must be done : n some
way, and as it is perfectly clear
that the responsibility for legis
lation on the subject of the trans
portation for the crop abroad is a
matter with which congress must
deal, I (eel that it is advisable
for the entire subject to be start
ed in this way.”
A new railroad linking Pelham
ind Moultrie is proposed in the
chartering by the secretary of
state last week of the Cairo, Pel
ham and Moultrie railroad.

§75,000, and will be about 50
miles in length. It will run from
Pelham eastwaid to Cairo, thence
to Moultrie.

Mrs. B. H. Pope, Ochlochnee; T.
H. Hester, J. J. Forester, Cairo;

McCord, R. W. Jones, Meigs..
LUKE WITHDRAWS
FROM THE RACE
Hon- Roscoe Luke today wired
Senator West, in Washington,
requesting that that his name be
withdrawn as an applicant for
the position of District Attorney
for the Southern District of
Georgia.
Mr. Luke made no definite
statement for publication, but it
is generally understood that Mr.
Luke’s active support of Senator
Smith, in the Second Congres
sional District, was directly res
ponsible for the rupture, which
caused his withdrawal.—Tues

physician, farmer and man of the
people, living in a small town and

ural education, and a legislative

their supporters politicians, cor
porations, railroad attorneys and
whiskey interests.

Georgia a practical busiuess ad
ministration.

He stands for law enforcement,
for humane treatment of prison

enforced as long as it remains
upon the State Statutes, that

health find growth," and who in

Cairo Again Defeats
The Coolidge Bunch.
Coolidge came over again
Thursday of last week and met
defeat at the hands of Cairo to-
the tune of 5 to 4.
Roddenbery went in to pitch
for Cairo but on account of a sore
arm had to retire in the fourth
in favor Laing. During the time
Roddenbery was in the box he
had the heavy Coolidge team
breaking their backs at his un
derhand ball. Laing pitched
good hall but on account of errors
and some opportune hits Cool
idge was able to make 4 runs.
Cairo jumped, on Wood in the
early part of the game- and by
some good hitting, and errors on
the part of Coolidge, managed to
shove across enough to win.
Singletary for Cairo and Mas
sey for Coolidge were the catch
ers.
Thi3 game ended the tie, giv
ing Cairo two out of three,
