Mudslinging Ad Ennui.
Literal mud is with us in large
quantities. That however, is a dis
pensation of providence and we
shall endeavor not to complain.
But there is another form of
mud which has become so noti
ceably plentiful this year as to
drive all decent men to disgust.
It is the growing habit of mud
slinging and exchanging very vile
epithets through the columns of
such newspapers as will admit
such matter; the Atlanta dailies
have been the chief offenders out
side of the weekly paper with
which the greatest part of it or
ignates.
Many careful parents have long
ago ceased to allow their children
to read the daily newspaper. But
now, so very filthy is the nature
of these articles published by some
that an adult can hardly read
without having his mind defiled
with the very ideas conveyed.
The newspaper’s only excuse
for publishing it is that the peo
ple demand it. We do not believe
that any large number of people
want such character attacks and
corrupt and corrupting language.
What business has a reader to
know all about the private life and
habits of a man? If these are cor
rupt, the grand jury is the place
to air them. There is a supply of
disinfectant to prevent the spread
of the contagion among the peo
ple to debauch their thoughts and
the very springs' of character. If
these habits, etc. are not evil en
ough for the grand jury to inves
tigate them, the people can endure
them far better than they can such
abandoned denunciation and vil
lification as has filled the press for
some months past.
There is now pending in our
Legislature a bill to make the pub
lication of such language a misde
meanor.
We hope and pray for its pas
sage and euforcement, that a long
suffering people may have relief.
From the Albany Herald.
Chairman Hal! and
Candidate Ha!!.
If Chairman Hewlette A. Hall
persists in that gag rule and arbi
trary interpretation of his by which
the Democratic voter in the Au
gust primary must vote for as
many candidates for a particular
office as there are nominations to
be made, whether there be that
many who are acceptable to him
or not, upon the penalty of not
having his vote counted, he need
not be surprised if thousands of
the voters who are now protesting
in vain against his tyranny regis
ter their protest by voting against
him for Attorney General, for
which office he is understood to
be now a candidate. The average
man so expressing his resentment
of what he believes to be an un
necessary restriction of his right
to prefer one candidate over all
others and at the same time regis
ter his objection to another would
be only following the natural
promptings of ordinary, every-day
human nature. We don’t know
Mr. Hall personally, but his brief
career as chairman of the State
Democratic Committee and that
six-and-a-half-column explanation
and defense of his rules have
somehow impressed us with the
idea that he is not the sort of man
the people of Georgia need for
their Attorney-General.
Spalding to Vote On Bonds.
New Court House, Jail, and Good
lloads Are Planned.
We note the following in the
Griffin Daily Herald, and congra
tulate our neighbor county on this
stupendous improvement being
planned:
“At a meeting of the county
commissioners held this morning
in the office of Col. W. E. H.
Searcy, Jr. it was decided to call
an election for bonds, the money
to be used in building a new court
court house, a new jail and gen
erally improving the roads and
building bridges. The election will
be held on August 23rd, at which
time a special ballot box will be
arranged for all votes cast for or
against the bonds. The total
amount of bonds to be voted will be
$150,000 divided as follows; Court
house, $80,000; jail, $20,000; roads
and bridges, $50,000. The ballot
slips will be so printed as to allow
each voter the right to vote for ali
three, or scratch as ho deems it
best. For instance, a voter may
vote for court house bonds and
not for the others.
‘Tt will require two-thirds of
the votes of the county to carry
the bonds. They will be of five
percent coupon variety, the first
to be disposed of December 10th,
this year. They will be paid off at
the rate of $6,000 per year, mak
ing the last payment due Decem
ber Ist, 1935.
“It is understood that a strong
fight will be made to carry the
bonds at the coming primary. This
is the third time the question has
come up for approval, the first
two times the odds being against
the bonds. Conditions have chan
ged materially, however since the
last bond election, and it is be
lieved that there will be notrouble
in putting them through this time.”

John Powell’s Pressing Club does
every kind of Pressing. Dyeing and
Cleaning. Ladies Fine Dresses and
Gentlemn’s Suits are given our care
ful and painstaking attention. We also

GREAT AUTOMOBILE RACES IN
JACKSON, GA., JULY 26.
MANY CARS WILL IJE ENTERED.
Course of Races will be Along Third
Street in .lackson, the Longest
Straightaway Course in the
State. Several Loving Cups
Will he Presented to the
Winuers of Each Class.
Jackson, Ga., July 20.
On Tuesday, July 26, Jackson
will have her second automobile
races of the season, and from the
amount of interest and enthusiasm
shown they will eclipse the races
held here Chautauqua week. The
course of the races will be along
Third street in this city, the long
est straightaway course in the
state. The course has been put
in thorough condition for some
fast time, which will undoubtedly
be made by the cars entering.
The races will be open to stock
cars only and any stock car can
enter. In each class a handsome
cup will be awarded the winner,
This is sure to create lively inter
est in the races and inspire the
drivers to let their cars out to the
limit. With the course in such
perfect condition it is certain that
some good time will be made dur
ing the races.
In addition to the automobile
races there will be motorcycle and
bicycle races, the idea being to
have something doing all the time
to amuse the large crowds that
will be present. At the last races
the largest crowd ever seen
in Jackson was present, it being
estimated that there was four or
five thousand people here on that
occasion.
To complete the program and
make it one of perfect interest and
pleasure for all who attend, a bar
becue has been arranged by the
Daughters of the Confederacy for
occasion. The crowds that come,
no matter how large, are sure to
be well taken care of in that line.
Cars from all parts of the state
will enter for the races. Already
the promoters of the races have
received word that cars from Ma
con, Atlanta, McDonough, Griffin,
Forsyth, Barnesville, Hampton,
Monticello, Madison and other sur
sounding towns would be entered
in some of the different classes.
The races will be held in the
afternoon, probably about 2:30.
This will give plenty of time for
all the cars to complete their runs
before night. Many of those en
tering their cars coming over
the night and morning before in
order to give them a tryout on
the course and to take advantage
of the barbecue.

GOD'S STONE WITNESS
THE GREAT PYRAMID.
The Ancients In recounting the Seven Wonders of the World, placed at
the head of the list, the Great Pyramid. Its interior passage ways evidently
symbolically represent the Ages and Dispensations In the Divine Government
in connection with humanity. Its witness is only beginning to go out to the
world of mankind. It is commonly credited to the foolishness of an Egyptian
King. Such claims as to the other Pyramids which are inferior to this one,
are not questioned, but the great Pyramid evidently was constructed under
Divine supervision. In symbolic language the Pyramid interprets itself if fig
ured an inch for a year. The downward passage way from the entrance to
the bottomless pit represents the way traversed by the human race to death.
The ascending passage way represents an escape from death and corresponds
to the giving of the Law' to Israel. “If ye do the se things ye shall live by
them.” The intervening years to the end of Jewish favor, A. D. 32, has its
exact fulfillment In Pyramid inches, bringing us to the Grand Gallery, which
symbolizes the Gospel Age, the period of the High Calling, the Lord coming
“that we might have life and that more abundantly.” The grand scheme of

TIIE GREAT PYRAMID WHICH PASTOR RUSSELL BELIEVES HAS
SYMBOLIC BIBLICAL SIGNIFICANCE.
Pyramid passage way measurements tells us that the Gospel Age Is soon to
end and that the time for Divine favor to return to Israel is about due. The
measurements seemingly say that by 1915 the Jews should be re-established
In their Promised Land,
The Pyramid covers an area of about 13 acres; is 486 feet high, and 704
feet broad at Its base. It Is estimated to weigh about 6,000,000 tons'. It con
tains stones weighing three or four times as much as one of the obelisks.
Some of the stones are thirty feet in length, and fit so closely together that
you may run a pen knife over the surface without discovering the breaks be
tween them. There is now no machinery so perfect that it will make two
surfaces thirty feet In length which will-meet together as these wonderful
stones In the Great Pyramid. Its four corner stones are sunken In the earth
in fulfillment of Job xxxviii. 3-7. It is supposed to have been built B. C. 2170,
at which time the star. Draconis. symbolizing death, looked down the de
scending passageway, and at which time the Pleiades were in line and looked
down the ascending passageways leading to life, the Pleiades representing the
throne of Jehovah, the source of all life-giving power.
