“with considerable bluster announc¬
ing that the alabaster box, supposed
to be only for Harris, had been also
broken for him."'
Announcement in Full.
Here is the complete statement:
“May 11, 1918.
“To the People of the State of Ceor
gia:
“I hereby announce my candidacy
to the high and honorable office of
United States senate, subject to the
September primary and respectfully
ask the support of all white voters.
•T have qualified by sending my
entrance fee to the secretary of the
state democratic executive commit¬
tee, and will publish my platform at an
early date.
“I am opposed for this office by
thrte chr-juic officeholders, Meesra.
Harris, litrdwick and Howard, all
wit’, unsavory political records. I
have challenged each to a discussion
of his record with like results.
As to Mr. Harris.
“Knowing that Mr. Harris would
not and could not make a public
speech I gave him an open challeng¬
ing letter, pointing out specific
charges, which, if true, totally unfit
him to represent Georgia in the
United States senate. If untrue, they
called for a speedy, quick and em¬
phatic denial. The public Is famdiar
with these charges. A month has
passed and not one line of denial has
been attempted, though there wera
hundreds of witnesses in the Macon
convention by whom I could hava
proven every, word charged, had he
denied the same. He stands convicted
by his silence.
Charges Against Hardwick
‘‘When Senator Hardwick came to
Georgia, prepared to enter upon a
campaign of abuse and rilliflcation of
President Wilson and the Democratic
administration, beginning at Carroll¬
ton and extending from county to
county throughout the state, I stopped
him with the direct challenge to
meet me face to face, and presented
him with twelve specific charges, at¬
tacking his record. These charges
have been printed broadcast for three
weeks. Had he possessed on* re¬
maining trait of political character
he would have met me and dented
the charges, or retired from the race.
In fact, he turned both head and tali
and left the state with only one
speech, and now announces that his
duties are so pressing he cannot re¬
turn to Georgia until congress ad¬
journs. This means, in my Judgment,
that he is absolutely eliminated from
the race and will never return to dls
rbss his record before a Georgia au¬
dience.
Challenge to Howard

SIX OAKLAND CARS CO
OUT AFTER ADVENTURE
The “Sensible -Six” Makes More
Miles and is the Logical
Pathfinder in
America.
This is the story of six sturdy
roadsters that have gone forth
in quest of adventure.
They carry on their radiators
the Oakland name plate and be¬
fore the first snows of winter
fall, they will have seen much of
this country and given battle to
deep mud and sand and steep
mountain grades.
For these Roadsters are in the
service of the Automobile Blue
Book, which annually charts
thousands of miles of new roads
for American motor tourists and
blazes the trail to places of scen¬
ic and historic charm.
Within the next six months,
each of these six pathfinding
Oaklands will have traveled any¬
where from 12,000 to 18,000
miles, distances three or four
times as great as the average au¬
tomobile covers m a year. They
will be put to the most exacting
of daily tests, for their drivers
take no account of weather and
road conditions on these trips of
highway investigation.
“When we decided to use these
roadsters for pathfiinding and
new highway inspection we were
convinced that the Oakland ‘Sen
sible Six’ was the car that would
do our work most efficiently and
economically” said John P. Dods,
western manager of the Auto¬
mobile Blue Book Publishing
Company. “Without this con¬
viction we would not have pur¬
chased them.”
We regard our automobiles as
an investment, nothing else.
They must give the maximum
mileage at the minimum cost or
they become a costly liability.
"We will have nothing but praise
for the Oaklands if they serve us
as well as they have thousands
of privates owners. The records
of lasting efficiency and low cost
of maintenance that they have
established in the last, three
years, in fact, recommend their
adoption for Blue Book work.
“It would have been exceed¬
ingly poor business for us to ig¬
nore the fact that Oakland own¬
ers are getting from eighteen to
twenty-five miles on a gallon of
gasoline and that a set of tires
on the lightweight ‘Sensible Six’
is good for at least 12,000 miles
before replacements are neces¬
sary.”
The Oakland roadsters in tht
Blue Book service are painted
gray with blue fenders, striping
and lettering. Their territory
for the present season has bee)
assigned and all six cars are now
on the road.
One of the Oakland will tour
New England this spring and
summer; another will cover the
highways of New York, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania, a third
will log routes in Ohio, Indiana
and Michigan, a fourth will tra¬
vel through Illinois, Wisconsin,
Minnesota Iow r a and Missouri; a
fifth will inspect the motoring
throughfares of the Pacific coast
States, while the sixth will leave
the imprint of its tires in that
vast expanse of territory which
extends from the Missouri river
to Rocky Mountains and from
Texas to the Canadian boundary.

CANNING AND COM¬
MUNITY CLUBS.
By •
Miss Margaret E. Barge
Emergency Home Demonstra¬
tion Agent.
O---O
The Community and Canning
Clubs of Newton County are do¬
ing such good work I think they
deserve some recognition. Gai
’hers Club has already started
canning for the fair; Oxford
Club has a large number of very
p ne gardens; Rocky Plains mem
¬
bers are doing a lot of the dem¬
onstration work; Porterdale,
(which was already organized),
has just completed a clean-up
1 ack-yard campaign; Brick
Store is to begin canning at the
r ext meeting; Hopewell has jus-'
started but is doing good work,
Stansells has just organized, and
. -tliers are to organize real soor
It is hoped that before the fair
each militia district will have
one or more clubs. There are
150 commuity club members at
present.
The girls in the canning clubs
are doing splendid work too, and
most of them are getting their
a aps, aprons, towels, holders, etc
y eady for the canning season. At
present there are 75 girls en¬
rolled.
There are a number of boys
and girls who, for various rea
sons, couldn’t gel a ten h acre,
and they have Liberty Gardens
At present there are 219 chil¬
dren from 6 to 14 years of age
who are enrolled and only eiglfi
schools heard from. The great
increase in the number of gar¬
dens not only means more and
better food, but stronger and
healthier children. Let us have
1 000 children in Newton county
working Liberty Gardens.
We have heard that “haste
makes waste,” and in this war
“delay means destruction,” but
“timely preparation means vic¬
tory.” Every garden is that
much towards weakening the
iron grip of the Hohenzollern.
Let us dissect the word "Hohen-
7ollern” and see what we find:
Ho-hen-zol-lern. Let the Ger¬
mans or Huns learn that when
the Allies use the hoe and hen
1 here is not enough of them left
to count. This v ill mean:
His
Undoing
. Now.
Now is the time to begin can
l ing, packing eggs for wintei
use, and to start a campaign
against flies and boost your dis¬
trict for the fair.
Use more Irish potatoes and
save wheat. They may b« use1
for making cake, light bread, tea¬
cakes an a number of other
things.
Men’s Spring and Summer
tailoring books have arrived and
the same big values as we offer
you in other lines, fit, styles,
quality, and workmanship, fully
guaranteed. Come and see
them.

In Good Service
There are three parties to every tele¬
phone conversation—the party calling,
the trained operator, and the party who
answers. All three share alike the respon¬
sibility for quick and accurate telephone
service.
The calling party should give the cor¬
rect number in a distinct voice, speak¬
ing directly into the transmitter, and
wait at the telephone until the party an¬
swers or the operator reports. The called
party should answer promptly.
Patience on the part of the telephone
user and the telephone operator is also es¬
sential to good service. j
