COVINGTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 12, 1920.
THE CITY BEAUTIFUL.
There lias never been a time in the
history of Covington when as much
thought is being given to the “City
Beautiful” as today,aud by the “Get
Together” method Covington can be
made the “Show City” on tlio Georgia
railroad. No city of its size in all
North Georgia has more natural beauty
Lliau lias Covington, but there are
many places about our city that are
not only most unsightly, but many oi
them are really unsanitary and should
be removed: If every property owner
would look over their holdings and see
how many ways they could improve
tlieir communities by doing away with
all unsightly out-houses and repairing
those which are needed, the work of
“City Beautiful” would begin in
earnest. A handsome business house,
with plate glass windows .on the front
streets and piles of packing cases and
rubbish of all sorts in the rear does
not make our city attractive, aud how
easy it would he to have all these
waste places cleared away and have
the rear of our business houses re¬
lieved of all accumulation of years.
There are many unsightly things about
the residences that can be greatly im¬
proved by just a little timely attention.
So if we are business men lei’s take
stock of our business houses and see
if there is not some way that we can
improve tlie appearances of our city,
anil if we are housekeepers let's go to
work and see how much we can do to
make Covington “The City Beautiful.”
This town has a new mayor and a new
council and a brand spanking new
paper, and an up to date, wide-a¬
wake new editor and with a combina¬
tion likt» this why should not Coving¬
ton be the Most Beautiful City in
North Georgia? A prominent banker
of Covington said to me the other day
“If every lady in town would just
beautify one lot. whether it be hers or
not, makes no difference how beautiful
<>l,r Hty would be. So let tlie ladies
to work and please Mr. Mayor and
Councilmen. as you pass through our
streets, study to find the unsightly
conditions and lets see if we cannot
help the owners to make the changes
that are necessary to make Covington
The City Beautiful.”

ANOTHER ADDITION
TO COVINGTON
The Georgia railroad has let the
contract for seven dwellings to be
built in this city which will be occu¬
pied by their track crew for this
section.
This crew together with their fam¬
ilies have been stationed at Aleovy,
and on account of the disadvantages
f getting their children in school and
>ther inconveniences that are usually
confronted by being at such a distance
from town, necessitated this change
of location. Workmen would often
become dissatisfied with tlieir job on
that account and would leave, so the
railroad company seeing that it would
mutually benefit both,made the change.
The men are employed at a salary
fmui $75.00 to $150.00 per month and
most of them have families, which
mcaps that they will spend their
money in Covington.
The work on these buildings will
Mart next week, east of the Georgia*
railroad depot, and rushed to comple¬
tion as soon as possible. The J. R.
McCord Lumber Company lias tlie con¬
tract for doing tlie work and as this
company has the reputation of build¬
ing anything in an up-to-date manner,
in double quick time, we feel sure it
will not he long before this small ad¬
dition to our -town will he a certainty,
and we welcome it here.
HARDWICK UNABLE TO
ATTEND COX NOTIFICATION.
Thomas W. Hardwick was unable
to attend the- official notification of
Govern*',; James M. Cox scheduled for;
Saturday, to which lie was invited as
une of the representatives of Georgia.
He lias sent a telegram to Governor
Cox pledging bis active and enthusi¬
astic support and expressing a wish
for a glorious Democratic victory in
November. His telegram follows:
“My sincere good wishes. You may
rely on nip toieeoder'-you tt-H- possible
aid in your campaign. I hope you
will win a glorious victory for the
Democratic party in Novembem. 1

TO THE CITIZENS OF NEWTON
COUNTY:
It being the avowed purpose of tlie
American Legion to uphold and pro¬
mote 100 per cent Americanism, the
time has come for us to take up the
light that has been launched against
us and the principles for which we
stand, and prove to the world that
patriotism in America still lives and
surpasses selfish polities.
When American men had achieved
the great victory in Europe in 1918
and were patiently waiting to be re¬
turned to America, a number of Ameri¬
can enlisted men met with an equal
number of American officers in
Paris and formed the Amer.
ican Legion. It now has a mem¬
bership of more than two million men.
if we should grant that every man
who was commissioned an officer dur¬
ing the entire duration of the war is
now a member of the Legion, which
is, of course, not true, there could not
possibly be more than 300,000 office|s,
>r approximately one-seventh of the
present legion membership. The Le¬
gion is governed by a majority vote,
making any effort to brand it a secret
society of officers ridiculous.
To accomplish our purpose to up¬
hold and promote 100 per cent Ameri¬
canism, it is essential that w« make
sure that men elected to public office
lie proved loyal American citizens.
Mr. Thomas E. Watson, a candidate
in Georgia for the United States Sen¬
ate, and Mr. Thomas W. Hardwick, a
candidate for governor, of Georgia,
proved themselves to be disloyal to
America and America’s ideals during
tlie late war with Germany, and we
accept it as our duty to denounce
these men to the people of Newton
Bounty and to Georgia, and to make
public their records, which prove their
ii-loyalty during the world war.
Be it definitely understood by all
Georgians that we will tight these two
men on their records of disloyalty.
We will not espouse tlie cause of any
•audidate now in the race for either
office, nor the cause of any man who
niiy come in the race. We will fight
mr own fight for principles of right,
just as loyal Americans have always
done, and no man may elaim our ef¬
forts in his selfish interests.
THE AMERICAN LEGION,
Newton County Post. No. 32.
There will he a meting of Newton
County Post, No. 32, American Leg¬
ion, at the Court House, Covington,
Georgia, on Monday night, August 16,
1920, at 8;30 P. M. Eevery ex-Ser
vice man in Newton county is cordial¬
ly invited and every member is par¬
ticularly urged to be present. Im;>or
* ant matters to be taken up. The
mblic is inveited.
W. R. STILLWELL, Pres., •
Newton County Post, No. 32.
SPEAKING HERE ON THE I7TH.
t>n Tuesday, August 17th, Thomas
W. Hardwick will make a speech in
Covington, also Tom Watson will
speak. Each candidate will speak re¬
garding his race for Governor and
United States Senate.
Mr. Hardwick, in the Governor’s
race, lias as bis opponents, Hon. Cliff
Walker and Hon. John N. Holder. Mr.
Watson’s opponents are Hon. Hoke
smith. Hon. Hugh Dorsey and John
Ft. Cooper and all of these gentlemen
me well known to the people of Geor¬
gia and we need not dwell on their
ability to serve should they be elected.
But there is one thing about this race,
to-wit: There is entirely too much
abuse of some of these candidates.
These smearers of mud are only wast¬
ing their time for everything changes
ns time goes on. and so will a change
come in rotten polities when the word
patriotism cannot be brought into the
political arena. Some would have you
believe that if either one of the men
above mentioned succeeds in winning
that civilization will be overthrown
and all hopes for our existence be for¬
ever lost. Banish the rot from your
thought and vote according to your
own dictates.
iu all of the great excitement over
tlie State caused by different organi¬
zations bobbing up here and there and
attacking various candidates, and wliat
other little rings are doing to throw
the voter in a cloud of discord is a
faction that if watched close enough
you are most sure to find the trail of
tlie serjient.
The copper clad will just suit you;

A CHALLENGE FROM
THE TRENCHES.
Feeling that the dignity of all ex¬
soldiers lias been degraded and in¬
sulted by the political stand that Clark
Howell Post No. 1, of Amerioan Legion,
has been taken. I hereby challenge this
bunch of hecklers to meet me in a se¬
ries of debates. Remember, this chal¬
lenge is to any member of Post No. 1,
American Legion, Curtis Barrett or
any paid servant of Clark Howell.
I would like to compare my record
in tlie war with some ofo those who
are making so muoh noise about pa¬
triotism during the war. 1 did not
wait for the draft law to get me, neith¬
er did 1 seek the officers’ training camp
oi order to save myself from carrying
■i rifle. I did real fighting, unsolicited,
i left two brothers sleeping under the
poppies of Flanders, and all I escaped
with was one leg, one arm, a backbone
and a clean character—plus a deter¬
mination to ever fight to keep our
country free from foreign contamina¬
tion, and I will wager my one arm
and my one leg that Tom Watson and
Tain Hardwick will get more ex-sol¬
dier votes than all their opponents to¬
gether.
Clark Howell and a few little bow
legged Atlanta officers and jaekleg
lawyers are trying to make it appear
that, the ex-soldiers are all against
Hardwick and Watson. Watch us line
up. Count the soldier votes at the
1 wills. We are nearly all for Watson
and Hardwick. The people of Georgia
are not inclined to believe that it takes
a little officers’ uniform and a pair of
leather leggings to make a man pa
triotie.
Name your speakers, places and the
dates, and 1 will be on hand with the
backing and support of the real soldiers
of Georgia who did real fighting. Quit
your heckling of candidates and break¬
ing up of meetings. A real soldier
Won't do it, Let tin* candidate alone.
Meet a soldier. Very respectfully.
A. B. SMIth.
