favor of the boys. He said be
faithful unto the end; make a
brave soldier and don’t forget
that after life is death. .

they were used by the men on
the voyage and repacked for
use in France; in naval vessels
for naval bases abroad; and in
Red Cross tonnage for the hos
pitals in France and England.
- A total of more than 2,500,-
000 books have been supplied

overseas. Approximately 500,-
€OO of these books were pur

40 library buildings have been
erected, and 600 camps in
America, alone, have received
collections of books.
Two hundred librarians, in
cluding leaders in their pro
fession in this country, are
giving their time to Library

serving as camp librarians, as
sistants, and organizers in the
field; others are in dispatch
offices for the shipment of
books to France.

Hon. G. Ozden Persons, of Forsyth, former President of
the State Senate, announces himself as a candidate for Co
ngress from the Sixth District. .
Mr. Persons is a lawyer of many years’ practice at the
Bar of the Flint Judicial Circuit, and is widely and favorably
known throughout the District. He is an experienced legis
lator, having served in the lower house from his county for
several times, and as State Senator from the Twenty-second
District, composed of Bibb, Pike and Monroe counties. He
was elected President of the Senate without opposition. While
in the Legislature, he occupied a prominent position, and was
the author of general legislation of state-wide interest. His
formal announcement as a ecandidate for Congress will be re
'ce;iv:d with great interest, as his friends are confident of his
election.
To the Voters of the Sixth Con
gressional District of Georgia
After a careful survey of the Sixth
Congressional District, I have decided
to become a candidate for Congress
from this district, subject to the rules
governing the next Democratic Pri
mary.
I base my candidacy for congress
on my record as a state legislator,
which record 1 respectfully submit to
the consideration of the voters of the
Sixth District. '
In addition to taking an active part
in all general legislation enacted while
I was a member of the House and
Senate for many years of service, I
am the sole author of the following
general legislation which is of benefit
to all the people of the State:
(1) The Parole Law, whereby men
who have been convicted of crime and
sentenced under the law to penal ser
vice, are given another opportunity in
life of becoming useful and respected
citizens.
(2) That Constitutional Amend
ment which authorizes counties to
give unto the rural pupils the same
free high school training, as is afford
ed by the towns and cities; and which
gives the county authorities the
right to use the State’s appropriation
for the common schools in connection
with High School instruction, and
(3) That Act which prevented the
Louisville & Nashville Railway Co.
from obtaining a charter from the
State to parallel the tracks of the
State's road, the Western & Atlantic
from Chattanooga to Atlanta, until af
ter the new lease was made by the
W. & A. Commission with the Louis
ville & Nashville for a period of fifty
yvears, and at a much higher rate of
rental than was ever obtained before,
1 was elected President of the Sen
ate and ex-officio Licutenant Governor
of the State for the years 1915-1916
without opposition.
On my election to Congress I shall
devote myself to the duties of a Con
gressman with the purpose of serving
the pecple of my District, State and
Country as faithfully as 1 have en.
deavored to serve the people of my
County and State in the State Legis
lature.
We must stand united on all meas
ures until the present war against Ger
many is won for our country, and
American lives and property are made
gecure beneath the folds of our flag
throughout the entire world,
After the war is won for our peo
ple and when we return with joy and
gladness to our pursuits of peaceful
life, the important questions both for
eign and domestic which will so vitally
affect our future prosperity, must be
solved by Congress with an eye single
to the interests of America, so as to
accord full liberty with exact jusfice
to all the class of our citizens.
Our State sovereignty must be pre
(Advertise
served if we would perpetuate our form
of government.
Next in importance is the question
of land and water transportation de
velopment, and the regulating and im
proving of our transportation facilities
in order that the country may be prop
erly developed and defended, and the
destructivé conflicts between capital
and labor prevented by providing just
returns unto capital actually invested
and fair working hours and wages for
labor.
I greatly desire the proper develop
ment of Georgia’s deep-sea ports, and
heartily endorse the proposed plan of
the business men es Bibb county to
obtain government aid in opening the
Ocmulgee channel so as to make it
navigable all the year round, and equip
it with a sufficient number of freight
barges to take care of the commerce
that will be carried. This waterway
from Macon to Brunswick is nature’s
gift to the Sixth District and should
be utilized to its effective fullness. It
should be operated in conjunction with
the deep-sea connections of the Mer
chant Marine to be operated after the
war, thereby greatly benefiting the
people of the District and the State.
I shall work for a permanent loca
tion of the military camp at Camp
‘Wheeler. This camp because of its
naturally healthful and advantageous
surroundings being located in the
heart of the State, is entitled to as
many soldiers as any camp, in the
State, and should have them.
Our immigration laws must be
‘changed s 0 as to bar from our coun
try every undesirable alien, and our
‘naturallzation laws changed so as to
prevent any enemy of our country ex
ercising the right to vote and enjoying
the protection of our citizenship.
Rural free delivery of the mails
should be extended until every home
is reached, while educational and vo
\catlonal training of our people should
be rendered thorough and effective.
~ The government farm loan system
with its low rate of interest to the
borrowers should be so simplified and
perfected as to make it. possible for
those who wish to avail themselves of
its benefits can do so without unnec
essary delay or expense.
Believing in the great principles of
the Democratic Party, and its motto,
“equal rights to all and apezl:l.; privi
leges to none,” I submit my didacy
and respectfully solicit with apprecia
tion your votes and influence with
the promise that on election I shall
devote my energy and best efforts to
the solution of all questions that may
come unto me, fledging that my in
fluence and vote shall be uséd solely
for the best interests of the people
whom alone I shall serve. , ,
Respectfully,
OGDEN PERSONS.

FOR JUDGE SUPERIOR COURT.
mn«‘vvmo. Ga., June 10, 1918,
To thc“vlhlu oters of the Ocmulgee Cir
cuit:
1 honb:’ announce my candidacy for the
office of udfc of the Superior Court of the
Ocmulgee Circuit for the term beginning
Cunw{fll. 1919, subject to the rules of
such nu? as may. be ordered by the
Democratic State Committee. L
It has been’ more than half a century
since a citizen of Baldwin County has held
this important office. The office has been
continuously held by citizens of Greene
County for nearly twenty-four years, and
by the present Judge, Hon. J, B, Park, for
nearly eight years. Since the organization
of the Ocmulgee Cireuit, no gudn. so far as
I am informed, has held the effice longer
than two terms, and if Judge Park is re
elected the precedent of a hundred years
will be broken.
I respectfully solicit the support of the
people of the Circuit; and if elected, I
promise faithfully to devote my entire time
to the discharge of the duties of the office;
I shall give the people of the Cireuit, as far
#8 in my power lies, a prompt, energetic
and economical administration of the ju
dicial business of the Circuit. If elected,
it will be a pleasure to me to visit, between
the terms of court, the several counties in
the Circuit, for the purpose of disposing of
such’ motions and Chambers business as
may arise,
I shall devote the entire powers of my
bod{ and mind to the economical and
business-like disposition of the matters
coming before the Court. I shall be deeply
grateful for the support of the people for
this important and honorable office.
Very respectfully,
EDWARD R. HINES,
FOR CONGRESS.
To the Voters of the Sixth Congressional
District of Georgia:
I am a ecandidate for the Sixty-Sixth Con
gress, to succeed myself, subject to such
rules and regulations as may be adopted by
the Executive Committee,
I have endeavored at all times to look
after every interest of my constituents,
agfl_tto represent them to the best of my
a ny.
Since being in Congress, I have been kept
in Washington almost continuously, and
have not had the opportunity and pleasure
of visiting my constituents, as 1 would
have under other circumstances, but I felt
it my duty to remain at my post in these
perilous times, and render what assistance
1 could to successfully prosecute Zhe WAar,
If it is the will of the voters of the Sixth
District that I be returned to Congress, !
shall do all I can by word and act, to bring
’thls awful war to a speedy and victorious
termination, and then to devote myself with
‘nll the energy I have to the passage of such
legislation as will tend to the upbuilding
of our government, and if possible, estab
lish a lasting and permanent peace among
the nations of the earth, so that freedom
and liberty may be the portion of mankind
everywhere.
Thanking my constituents for past favors,
and hoping my candidacy may meet with
lyour approval, 1 am,
Sincerely,
f J. W. WISE.

Nho Says He Now Feels Fine, Since Taking
Ziron Iron Yonic.
David Jones, of Forbus, Tenn.,,
writes: “I got a bottle of Ziron and
will say that I never had anything to
come in 8o good a time as I was think
ing of giving up, I was so weak. I
cannot tell you how bad I felt, Had
stomach trouble, loss of appetite,
couldn’t sleep, in fact was a total
wreck all over, as I am subject to weak
spells in the Spring of the year. After
using Ziron will say I now feel fine
and can do a fine days work. I think
you have a good medicine, and I can
surely recommend it to any one who
needs a tonic”,
Medical authorities and text books
agree that iron is needed to keep the
system in good condition. Investiga.
tion shows that pale, weak tired peo
ple generally lack the necessary a
mount of iron in their blood. The
strength that iron gives may be ob
tained by taking Ziron Iron Tonic.
Try it. Ask your druggist about his
guarantee on Ziron. ZN 4
