There is small doubt that ns this race advances it will become a strongly contested one. Judge-Cox is young, aggressive and progressive. He. has made a good record as judge, and has a strong list of friends throughout the district that will do everything possible to land him in Washing ton. Congressman Park is ail old campaigner, a man who lias many warm friends and admirers that will stand firmly for his re-election. He has made a most satisfactory congressman, and the fact that, ex perience is a weighty factor in the work that, a Congressman is able to do, will not, be lost sight of by a great many voters. Tlie second district is sure to have an interesting campaign this summer. A. Si Johnson - Seeks Judgeship We arc carrying the .announce ment of Judge A'.* S. Johnson as a candidate for Judge of the Albany Circuit, This announcement is concise and to the point. We hear only good things of Judge Johnson, and he will no doubt add many new frionds during this canvass to the large'number he already has. Hath, Chicken,checBe or pimento Sandwiches at Central Drug Co. Mr. J. M. S.asscr, was looking after business matters ■ here Tucs- this week bring;"out. the fact that we have shipped’ already from the county this season, 25 cars of hogs and at least 8 cars of [cattle. In addition to these, a number of cars have been driven from the county on foot. It is not possible to come at the exact valuation of- these, but there is hardly a doubt that) it would approximate 840000.00. When it is recalled that until year or two ago that the shipping of hogs away from here Jyas almost unheard of and only at very rare intervals were there shipments of fat cattle, it shows very encourag ing progress to report the above number. . There arc still a few cattle to be shipped from tho county this spring, Moultrie, Ga., May 16, Is It Mere Coincidence? Our business in the main consists in securing adyjertising^from our local business folks. Naturally we keep in more or; less close touch with almost all fines of business in the towD. There is one • fact that we have bad thrust, upon us, not one time, but almost daily, and that is that the people who advertise are not hard to secure an advertise ment from if they can find the time to write one, but the people who never advertise always seem to have abundance of time to write un ad, but ,thpy, always put. us 0 ff with ihc excuse that times are too hard and busirtess too dull .to ad vcrtisc. ; fss .. . When will people learn that there is real connection between cause .and effect? Now and ,t%n there 1V successful [busincs-H- tlmt docs npt advertise along the/ tegulrtr chan- neLs, but cvep those; if you yull take tho,trouble tp find out, are depend ent on'splhe form of advertising. Advertise honestly, consistently and steadily and our word for it you arp going to reap the harvest. If your business is being killed by advertising it is becuu.se your com petitor is . doing. the advertising and you are not. been understood to be a candidate for congress from the Second dis trict, has formally announced hia candidacy. Thad Adams, who has to year work a more serious hard ship upon the burden carrying peo- - plc of the soirat.' : “The introduction 6f the element been active in the politics of this ■Ti section lor several years, will man age his campaign. Headquarters have already been opened in Moul trie and Mr. Adams will direct ithe campaign from this point. * According to information given out here, Judge Cox will wage a vigorous campaign for the seat now held in congress by Judge Frank Park. It was stated that hq wcjuld within a fevv weeks begin a speak ing tour, visiting eVery ono of the twelve counties that form the dis trict. Judge Cox will issue his declara tion of principles later 1 and that it will contain some positive views is indicated by the following state ment which he gave out today: “I have for sometime cherished ah ambitition to serve rtiy district in congress, and my candidacy is announced at this time in response to'what appears to me to bo the demand of existing conditions. “The office of Congressman holds the possibilities for the correction of many glaring inequalities which cause unrest and which from*year of good faith is greatly needed in the administration of governmental affairs. A policy of candor and frankness should prevail as between the people and their representa tive, and promise fulfillment should be placed above promise making. “The distribution of jpublic pat ronage is merely incidental to tho work of a congressman. It is something however, that should be handled with fairness and never bartered as a personal chattel. Federal aid to all local needs should bo closely looked after by congress men, but the pork barrel reciproc ity resulting in the pillage of the public treasury cannot be too se’vor- ly condemned. “The taking part in and. tho shaping mid passage of that public [legislation which affects the. indi vidual eVery day of his life is the most important work of a congress man. It shall be my purpose to. aid in that work, if the people of.: the Second district see fit to choose, me as their representative iff' ’ton-* gross and. I shall not content, my- ■ self with pleasing for a time by thfe 1 mere introduction of a flpod 1 .pf .im practicable ahd impossible, byisf” I. •Florida Pecan Growers Association Program and announcement has been received at this office of the 10th* Anhuol Convention of the Goorgia-Florida Pecan Growers Association which convenes at Thomasvillc May 31st, 1916.
