I hereby announce myself as a
candidate for Congress from the
Fourth Congressional District f
Georgia to fill the unexpired term

I gained valuable experience as
Secretary to Congressman Owen
duying his tenure of office and feel
that I am qualified for this office.
Your support and influence will

EDGAR BLALOCK.
I hereby announce my candi

Congressman E. M. Owen, de

ful support given me in the “last
race for this office and will be
grateful for your continued ef
forts in my behalf. If elected, I
shall strive to serve the people of
my district at all times. My ef

district of Georgia.
Gratefully,
A SIDNEY CAMP.
I am a candidate for the unex
pired term of Congressman Emmett
Owen. I was born and reared on a
farm in the Middle 9th District of
Meriwether County, Georgia, and
am now residing on a farm. I was
educated at Gordon Institute and
at the Georgia School of Technol
ogy, and' am a graduate in the
school of experience and hard work.
I have farmed continuously all of
my life and have for the past twen
ty-four years served as Clerk of the
Superior Court of Meriwether Coun
ty. From my experience as farmer,
and officer of the court, and my
contact with men of all stations in
life, I feel that I know the evils
which now confront (he people anil
if elected to Congress I will fearless
ly and honestly seek to apply the
remedy.
This is primarily an agricultural
section and there can be no genera!
or stable prasperit.y until a sound
foundation is put under the farm
er consistent with the rights of oth
er business. However, the farmers’
buying power must be restored, and
I shall work to this end.
I will greatly appreciate the sup
port of the people of the Fourth
Congressional District. I have no
political manager, but am trusting
to the people to look after my inter
est and if elected will be under no
obligations to any political boss or
clique. Sincerely yours, LOUIS C.
CLARK.

Make Tourists
Feel “At Home”
Belle isle Urges
ATLANTA. Ga.—"Extend such a
cordial invitation to visitors that
they will want to stay over-night or
longer’’ is the suggestion made by
A. L. Belle Isle, president of the
Atlanta Convention and Tourist!

thousands of dollars in tourist trade
can be realized during the-summer
months by Georgians in commun
ities making visitors feel "at home ’
He stressed the importance of
having at all times accurate inform
ation about points of interest in
Georgia. Setting the example ai
Belle Isle Garage, of which he i
the head he has road maps; de
tailed information about interest
ing parts of the state, and is mak
ing visitors welcome to use the
large, cool, beautifully appointed
lounges for their meeting place in
Atlanta. He is further making visit
ors feel at home by putting at their
disposal a free parcel checking ser
vice.
As a result, thousands of people
from Georgia and other states daily
are meeting their friends at this!
comfortable, cool garage in the!
heart of downtown Atlanta, on;
Peachtree next to Loew’s Grand
theatre. The expression “Meet me at
Belle Isle's” is familiar to motorists
from nearly every state in the un-1
ion
Mr. Belle Isle pointed out that
parking in a cool garage during the
summer months is not only a con
venience. buT an economy, as it pro
tects your automobile from the rav
ages of summer sun.
