TUESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1918.
DEMOCRATS SHOULD GO TC THE
POLLS, AS NOMINEE FOR THE
SENATE IS OPPOSED.
Terrell county democrats are re
minded that the state and national
elections will be held on next Tues
day, November sth, when governor,
state house officers, members of the
legislature, United States senator
and congressmen will be voted for.
I'here is no opposition except to
the nominee for the United States
senate, who is opposed by G. H.
Williams, of Dublin, as a republican.
As the nominee of his party W. J.
Harris should receive the vote of ev
ery democrat, and the voters of Ter
rell county should discharge their full
duty by turning out and giving him
a large and praetically unanimous
majority.
The candidates of a local nature
to be voted for are Congressman C.

6. H. WILLIAMS, OF DUBLIN, ANNOUNCES
- CANDIDACY FOR UNTED STATES SENATOR
™0 THE PBROPLE OF GEORGIA
1 am a candidate for the United
gtates Senate to succeed T. W. Hard
wick and to defeat W. J. Harris.
In a letter to Clark Howell, Presi
dent Wilson asked the people of Geor
gia to vote for Harris. In a telegram
to W. J. Harris, President Wilson as
sured the people of Georgia that the
Government would not interfere with
olir cotton and ugon this political and
moral contract the Igeople of Georgia
nominated W. J. frris for . B
Senator, well knowing that he was a
weak man indeed for this high office,
and was not the choice of the people,
but the flasco of the President.
We had faith in President Wilson’s
promise to protect cotton planters
against the spinners and speculation
of the North and of foreign coun~
trieg, but in three days after Harris
was nominated on this issue, Presi
dent Wilson on the 14th day of Sep
tember issued an order directing the
War Industries Board to look into the
cotton situation, stabilize grades and
distribution, and if necessary in the
opinion of this unfriendlg' board of
Yankees to the South, to fix the price
of cotton and place it under Govern
ment control.
Cotton dropped from 35 cents to 29
cents per pound; millions were lost
to us and thousands of people have
been bankrupted, sacrificed and ruin
ed. The golitical and moral contract
made with Harris and President Wil
son at the September primary has
been broken and is void, and the peo
ple of Georgia are now free to act
and vote as they please in the Novem
ber election for a United States Sen
ator. If the President had kept faith
with us on this promise all the peo
ple in Georgia would be glad to ca.rg
out their J)an of the contract, but
the President did not keep his prom
ise he made in that telegram to Har
ris, all the people of Georgia will be
disloyal to themselves and their sec
tion if they do not resent it and elect
an independent Senator; and fight
fhis unjust and outrageous move on
the part of the Administration to sac
rifice the product of our land labor to
forei%n trade and unfriendly interest.
I, for one, will oppose it with all
the strength of my soul and being.
The farmers of Georgia are with me
and the loud-mouth politicians, un
sorupulous newspapers and powers
to be can not and will not fool them
ggain oh the first Tuesday in Novem
er,
Mr. Wilson is a great president, he
s a powerful man and the h. st schol
ar that has lived since the days of
John the Baptist. He holds the reins
of the Government as no other man
has ever held them. When he pogs
the whip the wheels turn or the
traces break, and we are with him
whole soul and body in the winning
of the war; but, he knows nothing eof
the cotton conditions in the South.
He should not hurt us now if he
could not help us in 1914, and has no
right to dictate the local politics of
Georgia against our judgment and
against our interests. If President
Wilson has not made another politi
cal promige with the powers to be to
sacrifice our cotton for political pref
erence in doubtful sections for the
November election, and cares for the
interest of the people of Georgia and
the South who have served him and
his garty ag faithfully as a siave
could serve his master for fifty-three
years, why don’t he settle this cotton
%uestion and keey his promise in that
arris telegram? He could do it in
one day and save us millions of dol
lars and vexation of spirit,
All the world knows this Adminis
tration is against the cotton market.
The farmers of the South are being
made philanthropists of to finance
the cotton seed oil mills and other
%reat interests unfriendly to us.
here is but one reason for this—we
tave been solid for one party’ until
we have no political standing in na
tional affairs. Shall we keep our
heads in the same yoke? If so, wa
deserve no hetter.
No farmer in Georgia has been able
to sell a ton of cotton seed since the
September primary. They are scat
tered from the gins back to the farm
ers, ;;]fled in heaps and are rott.inf by
the t ousands, all on aecount of un-
Just discriminations against the farm
ér at the most critical time in the
history of our being and the protest
of Democratic Senators seems to be
of no avail,
The Macon Telegraph and some
other newspapers in Georgia that
éither know or care nothing of these
conditions, have continually advocat
ed the price fixing of cotton, but after
I made my announcement on.this is-

R. Crisp, Judge W. C. Worrill, State
Senator J. B. Bussey and Representa
tive D. C. Pickett. There are three
announced candidates for county
commissioner who are asking the
votes of the people next Tuesday—
Dr. H, A. Cook, W. L. Pace and J.
L. McLeod. It is contended by some
that the term of office of the three
Incumbents will not expire until two
years hence, which raises a question
that will have to be determined in
the future.
All states will elect congressmen
and a majority of them United States
senators, and the result will decide
whether the next congress will be
controlled by the democrats or repub
licans.

G. H. WILLIAMS,
Of Dublin, Ga., Candidate For
United States Senator
- You know and- all the Administra
tion knows that it is the common talk
and daily statement in the hotels and
corridors at Washington, in the Cot
ton Exchange of New York and New
Orleans and with purchasing agents
of foreign countries that if cotton
goes above 35 cents the Government
will take control of it and fix a price?
Don’'t you know that the committee
appointed by the Administration to
control, and that is controlling cotton
is made up of cotton mill men, cot
ton seed oil men, aad cotton exchange
and commission gamblers?
If you don’t know this, get the Of
ficial U. S. Bulletin issued September
24th. You will see this is true. Wash
ington is full of foreign agents. New
England spinners and Wall Street
gamblers, doing all in their power to
make the Administration take charge
of this and the next crop of cotton,
and, incredible as it now seens, there
are some newspapers and paid agen
cies right here in Georgia advocat
ing the same dirty deal: and I want
to tell yoy in no uncertain terms, that
unless the Southern people assc-t
themselve in the most vigorous terms
it will be done.
And when this is done we will be
at the mercy of the spinners and for
eign agents, just as we are now at
the mercy of the cotton seed mills.
Cotton seed is congested and depress
ed now: cotton will be depressed and
congested then. You can raise no
money on seed now; you could raise
no money on cotton then. You have to
wait on seed mills now; you would
have to wait on cotton mills then.
Southern banks cannot advance mon
ey on seed now: they could not &d
-vance money cn cotton ihen.
If you had one hundrad tons of
seed today and had to pay one thou
sand dollars debt you would have to
walt until the oil mill could use them
to lpny the debt, and the same prin
ciple will apply to cotton if the price
and coentrol is fixed. These conditions
would demoralize all business, wreck
and ruin the South?
Do you know that we live in a free
countri' and have a right to serve God
aocording to the dictates of our own
conscience and to vote for what and
for whom we please?
The interference with the rights of
the people by taxing tea and the Bos
ton disturbance was a mild encroach
ment of the people’s rights compared
to the present interference with cot
ton.
Just why the spinners and gamblers
should be protected from the effect
of the fourth disastrous’ crop and the
exporters for foreign countries se
cure cotton at the expense of the
Southern planters I can not see. Brazil
looks after the plantars of coffee, and
not the consumers of coffee in Amer
ica and Europe.
But the Democratic party cwns the
South by a preecriptive title, and un
til the bonds of thigs peaceable posses
gion are broken and we show some sec
tional independence, we will have no
reco%lmon in national affairs, and
will be bartered as weaklings for po
litical preference North, East and
West, regardless of our rights or
faithful service to one party. If it is
s 0 now and we bare our bhacks to
the lash that i{s being laid on in this
outrageous cotton situation, how much
worse will it be when this world war
is over and each section must fight
for its respective rights. We will need
business men with f““ and fall, grit
and g(r):ln to stand for the interest of
the th and be in position to de
mand what is rl,ht. If we have a
weaklirg in the United States Senate
trailing onlv in the banner of solid
Democracy, whipped into line by pre
judical sentiment and ignorance, we
will reap the harvest of that same
oontem%t3 of barter and sale for politi
cal preference in more manly sec
tions. If I am elected to the United
States Senate as an independent Re
publican, I will have the help and sup-

port of that great national orgamiza
tion in looking after the interest of
the people of Georgia, and I promise
you now that if I don't do more in
one year than Harris could do in six
years, I will resign my job and put
my salary back into the treasury,
Let us see what it costs under the
gresent conditions to make and mar
et cotton:
I have one farm of thirty-two plows,
run hy twenty-four tenants or crop
pers. Eighteen of them white families
and six colored. there are 128 people
in the twenty-four families. It will
cost at the present prices $20.00 per
month each to feed, clothe and in ew
ery way support these people, or a
total! cost for twelve months of $30,-
720. On the cropper system the land
lord furnished the land, the stock and
their feed, the tools and one-hal? the
fertilizer. He gets one-half that is
made. These thirty-two plows, twent
t'}y;—f_our families or 128 people made
this year as estimated, 297 bales of
cottoni. It takes the seed to pay for
the fertilizers, but we are clogged up
now and can’t gell them. ghis cotton
at 40 cents per pound would be $200.-
00 per hale or a total of $59,400; the
croppers’ or tenants’ part would be
one half or $29,700. _lf it has cost
them to live, $30,720, we must get
something out of the pigs, chickens
and vegetables to make good this dif
ference of $1,020. They, of course
can do this: but at these hlgh-prlced
times, if you pay them less than 40
cents, somebody will and must ?3
without, while the great majority
the favored clagss wallow in the la.?
of plenty. Shall this great Demoerat
ic Government protect the sfi 8
whose profits are fabulous an %,mge‘
same time depress the pro 3
whose burdens are already more than
ha can bear?
Our great President has been n&s
led and we are being sacrificed to the
advantage of the New England mills
and Wall Street gamblers. Fifty
cente for cotton today would nat be
equal even to the pay of other labor
in the South.

mills have made 100 per cent since
1914, and the Bibb Manufacturing Co.,
a cotton mill corporation in Georgia,
has increased its capital stock from
one million to five million dollars
since 1914, and paid for thig four
million with surplus and profits? Do |
you know that the Georgia farmers
who actually make their bread by the

cotton to clothe the world ig the only |
class that has not made money out
of this war?

have given more to the Red Cross and
Y. M. C. A. than any man in my eoun

bonds of every issue and ill buy
more, I allowed my nineteen
year-old son to go to France and
fight for his country before ,he was

If President Wilson reeds our coi
ton to run this war he is perfectl; |
welcome to take it. We are with him |
to a victorous conclusion, but it has |
not been shown uand it can not be
shown that it ig necessary to do this
in winning the war. Ali the world |
needs this small cotton Ccrop, and as |
Soon as the end of the war is in
sight, this crop of cotton wil] bring a
high price and we will for the first
time in forty years malke |ome money
to pay our debts and improve oy
condition. If President Wilson allowsy
the spinners and gamblers of America
and the European powers, who are
anxious for cotton, to take it from us
at prevailing prices, or if he allows
Baruch and his speculative commiit
tee to keep talking it down, the Presi
dent is badly mizfied or does not ap
preciate our interest and faithful ser
vice to him and his party. The dam
age has aiready been done, the fight
must be made and neither men nor
&my names should be considered.
Men and parties may ctémo and go,
but principles must stan forever.
Let the newspapers have their sSay,
and the old parti leaders abuse me
all they may. The world is n‘hunx
for freedom, Georgians must do so,
too, and they must do it from now un.
til the November eloction or leave
the yoke of oppression upon their
children’s necks for another half cen
tury.
“g'lce fixing of cotton and gotton
seed will hc;ll% the North and will hurt
the South. The Administration should
not allow the financiers of the North
to levy an indemnity upen the South
fifty years after we have sum:'(hred.
Any man in Georgla who es to

Months Elapse Before Claims for
Missing and Damaged Freights
Receive Attention.
Editor of The Dawson News: Geor
gia may have too many iaws, but
some aspiring politician has a fine
opportunity to win fame and favor
by adding just one more.
. The railroads do all their collect
ing on the strictly cash basis, which
is as it should be, but they pay claims
on the long loan basis, which is un
fair to the other fellow. Shipments
of goods often reach this depot torn
from rough handling and part of the
contents missing. A claim thoroughly
established is promptly put in, but it
is often the case that a merchant
has to wait twelve months for a set
tlement without interest or profit on
the amount involved.
This is manifestly unjust to the
merchant. One of these days a
hright young representative is going
to see this side of the question and
forthwith find a remedy by introduc
ing a bill to cover the case.

advent of stamps and envelopes,
