to tuke part in making it a success.
"Tag Day" is a day set apart in
Waycross, to help out one of the
gicatost, yea! the greatest charitable
iiutitutions In our midst. The King’s
Daughters Hospital. The good ladies |
of Waycross inspired by the self- j
sacrificing love that can only spring
flam a woman’s heart, by labor ana
loving effort have built this splendid
institution in our midst. Already it
ha* been a God sent blessing to
neny sad and weary hearts, and 1ms
enabled many pain-st/icken men and
women to rise to health and strength
again.
Surely it is /our duty and will be
our greatest pleasure, each one of us,
to wear a "Tag" tomorrow and show
by that our willingness to contribute
something to- encourage and help
these good women in this splendlly
benoficlent work they have under
taken.
The Herald will wear one fag or
pinny tags as it can, and calls on
every man and woman to d*** all that
they possibly can tomorrow to make
these good women happy, with tho

Alanta, Ga., April 13.—Commission-
or of Agriculture Thomas L. Hudson
today made the positive announce
ment that when hls present term
expires he will not be a candidate for
rele tion.
This announcement, made this af
ternoon, threw the political doposters
into a whirl of conjecture and rumor
run rife as to what the Amerlcus
statesman will do when next election
times comes around.
It is generally believed that Mr. Hud
son is acting on the presumption that
Iloko Smith will avow himself a can
didate for United Staes senator, la
which case Hudson will run for gov
ernor. Jt is pretty generally conceded
that he does not Intend to retire alto
gether from political life. Beyond the
simple announcement that he would
not run for the commlssionershlp of
agriculure again, h* had nothing to
ssy.
The concensus of opinion is that he-
will either maks the race tor the seat
of the chief executive of tho state or
enter the field against Dudley Hughes:
tor the latter’s congressional seat In
VAvihington.
