PRESSURE OF BUSINESS NEC-
CESSITATES HIS WITHDRAWAL
Four Months Campaign Too Long For
Mr. Detn. Thanks Friends For
Promise Of Supports
editors Herald:
I wish to thank my friends and ex
press to them my appreciation anJ
gratitude for their , promise of sup
port and kind expressions In by be
half, as a candidate for representa
tive of Ware county.
I have considered the matter care
fully and thoughtfully and while I
would be glad to represent the coun
t'y and Its people at any and all times,
I feel that at this time that pressure
of business, at present and for the
next few month* demand my whole
time and attention, and I trust my
friends will see the importance of
my getting out and remaining put of
a tour month's campaign.
To bo a candidate necessarily de
mands and consumes time and atten
tion, and at tbi* time 1 feel that 1
cannot spare it', therefore must with
draw from the race.
My little experience and observa
tion as a legislator has convinced me
that If Ware county and South Geor
gia is to get their Just recognition,
they must have as representatives
men of ability. Ware county’s rep
resentative should be a man of ca
pacity ond' strong convictions, and
ono who will ask and contend for a
fair and equltabio share of the state's
appropriations.
Again thanking my friends, I beg
to jemaln, very truly yours,
GEO. W. BEEN.

soldiers were then eligible for ap*-

the civil service rule has been In
voked, and all persons over 55 years

been excluded from the service.
In view of the fact tfca'c the Confed

the further fact that the disabilities

There will be a state fair at

old machinery hall will be torn down

agreed upon by the park board after
a three-hour session, at which a

There were arguments against the
holding cf the -fair for commercial,
reasons.
The argument to tear Cown .the old

a compromise, as this will give room
for the immediate beautifying of a

WHALE3 TWISTED TAILS
In whales we havo an entirely dif
ferent state of affairs, the tall being
set trausverslly instead of vertically,
says a writer in Outing.
The reason tor this is concealed in
long ages of evolution. Ffshes have
always been as they are now .aquatic,
but the ancestors ot whales and dol
phins lived on dry land, where they
crawled about on four good feet.
When tor some reason these creatur
es of old took to the water, they
probably*, did not plunge at once Into
the open ocean, where tlielr do*
scendant8 now live, but waded and
paddled along in the shallow and
marshes of the shore. Here-a ver
tical tail would certainly be In the
way, while a horizontal one might be
used advantageously. We must not
forget also that whales breathe air ,
as we do, and that is more fit
for them to .shoot quickly up/
the dark ocean depths to the‘su!fe.w>
than to turn, fish-like, from aide to” 1
side.
