KEEPING THE RECORD STRAIGHT
The congressional convention which
nominated Congressman Brand in Sep¬
tember, 1920, voted down a resolution
endorsing the national Democratic ad¬
ministration. It is said the Congress¬
man was very much worried for fear
the convention would endorse Woodrow
Wilson and his great achievements.
The convention was a . half-hammered
kind of a Democratic affair. In fact, we
considered it a burleque on the Demo¬
cratic party, and so stated in our issue
of October 1. 1920. We merely mention
this in order to keep the record straight.
The resolution endorsing the Demo¬
cratic administration was introduced
by Hon. Thomas S. Mell. of Clarke
county.—Greensboro Herald-Journal.

CONGRESSMAN BRAND
PRAISED BY PAPER
AT EAWRENCEVIELE
In an able and lengthy editorial with
references to Congressman Charles H.
Brand and his record in congress, the
Lawrenceville News-Herald in its issuff
of July 2-lth says, in part:
•'No member of the national house of
representatives from this state has ren¬
dered so able, valuable and efficient
service to the people and to the demo¬
cratic party of the country, as Judge
Charles H. Brand, of the 8 th district,
and he should have been returned
without opposition.
He is a profound lawyer, knows the
law and the strong and weak places in
it, and 'where remedial legislature is
needed.
“He is also a first class business man
and knows what legislation would he
beneficial or hurtful to the people in
the regular and ordinary pursuits of
life, and never hesitates about taking
the initiative in their behalf.
“Added to these necessary equipments
for a really useful congressman, he is
an actual glutten for work, and lias the
energy of a steam engine. "
“These qualities have made him a
recognized leader in legislature of a bus¬
iness character on the floor of the
house of representatives and he has
been supported by both democrats and
republicans Ln some very important
and far reaching legislation of a purely
financial character.
“Recognizing farming as the basic
industry of the country, upon the- suc¬
cess of which depends that of all other
callings and industries, Mr. Brand has
accomplished more in the form of leg¬
islation in its behalf; and on his own
initiative, than any other one congress¬
man, since he became a member of it,
all of which is a matter of record that
will stand after he has crossed “The
Great Divide.”
“We do not reside in the Eighth dis¬
trict. yea cannot he charged with being
an interloper, as every Georgian has
the same interest in national legisla¬
tion, regardless* of location, and when
a congressman has rendered the whole
state such splendid and unprecedented
services as Judge Brand has all of
them have the right to stand by him,
and rally to his support.
“We want it further distinctly known
and understood that we hold no brief
for Judge Brand, and that this article
is written wholly upon our own initia¬
tive and without even any request or
suggestion from him, directly or indi¬
rectly.”

CHIEF .JUSTICE FISH
MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT
Chief Justice*William H. Fish, of the
Supreme Court of Georgia has made
his announcement for re-election of that
high office. Judge Fish says:
To Hie People of Georgia:
I am candidate to succeed myself as
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of
Georgia, subject to the Democratic
primary of September 13th.
My duties are such that I will not be
able to make an active campaign for
re-election. My entire time is taken up
by the requirements of my position and
therefore I have little time to look af¬
ter my own interests. I will greatly ap¬
preciate your influence and support,
and assure you if re-elected I will efi
deavoi- to give’ you the same, faithful
service that 1 have rendered in the past.
Being in perfect health with my long
experience I feel that I can do more
efficient work than ever before.
I will regard another endorsement
from you as a crowning honor of a life
spent practically in your service.
Respectfully,
WILLIAM H. FISH.
BRAND ON THE JOB
While in Washington recently, in
company with Judge Walter L.
Hodges, we had the pleasure of calling
on Congressman Chas. H. Brand, and
we daresay no office in the whole house
building presented a busier sight.
In addition to devoting his entire time
to the interests pf his district and con¬
stituent^. Mr. Brand has two stenog¬
raphers in his office working from
early until late. In fact, the Eighth
district,has rarely, if ever, had a more
faithful and conscientious man than
Congressman Brand and his break¬
down in health recently was directly
attributed to his arduous duties.
Congressman Brand has many friends
in Hartwell and Hart county who
preciate the ap¬
many things he has done
for us, such as getting the night mail
re-established tend in many ways look¬
ing after our interests when called
He is up¬
on. prompt, reliable, efficient.—
igartwell Sun.
