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.

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. + The Model License organization ot Kentucky which I, composed -of xviHs- ■ key <11,tillers and brewer, Who their buxines, Hipping away (ram them, hare undertaken to Interpret the scripture, for the clergy of the country in u circular letter, they have scat out.
