TUESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1920.
2EPORT NOW SAYS
Lkt
SOME DIFFICULTY, HOWEVER,
IN LAYING HOLD OF IT. LARGE
CROP PREDICTED.
e r——
puring 1920 there has been used
or hoarded in the United States 15
per cent more sugar than in former
vears, accordmg to an announcement
received from the department of agri
culture, in which -housekeepers are
advised of the wisdom of canning
fruit without sugar. The department
s inclined to the view that the
shortage is due to hoarding.
There is NO scarcity of sugar in
pawson at the present time, nor has
there been for several weeks, accord
ing ‘c the reports of several retailers.
It is stated that sugar may be more
abundant next winter when canned
fruit is used. Apparently there is a
large increase in the acreage of cane
and beet sugar in the United States
and the other northern hemisphere
countries that produce it.
A greater supply of sugar than
ever before, Says the department’s
nouncement, Wwas handled in™ this
country in the past few months, it be
ing millions of pounds in excess of
that of any previous like period.
“There has been no actual short
age,” says the statement. “The diffi
culties were in the ability of the con
qumer to get his share of the supply.
This must be laid to hoarding, unless
there is a big increase in consump
tion. Large quantities have been held
for future use by housekeepers and
for commercial purposes.”
In the last fifty years the increase
in the use of sugar in the United
Qtates has been at the average annu
al rate of one pound a year. In the
last five years the per capita con
camption for all purposes has been 80
pounds. It was 58.9 pounds in 1890.
This increase is attributed in large
part to more extensive use in manu
facturing candy and ice cream and
cther produets.

! John Holder's record in state serv

lown record of service; and it is this
[record we propose to put clearly be-‘
Ilore the peopl® of Georgia. |
' What Others Say of Him. |
. In the first place, here are a few
lcomments from those who have ob
;served and indorsed the record of John
Holder as speaker” of the house and
in his other legislative service:
Atlanta Constitution: “The house
imever had a better presiding eficer . . .
‘all of its members unmited in paying
‘tribute to the impartiality of the speak
er and in recognitton of his extraor
dinary ability as a presiding officer.”
Albany Herald: “We like Mr. Hol

forward and free from demagogism.”
Lyons Progress: ‘“Georgia would
‘make no mistake in electing Mr. Hol
:der as its next governor.”
Judge John F. Stone of Cairo, in 3
letter in The Covington News: “The
:gomr thing to do is to elect John N.
older governor. He is the available
‘man.”
Deserves Well of Georgia.
Editor James B. Nevin In the Atlanta
Georgian: “John N. Holder of Jack
son county is the ablest speaker of
the house I've ever known. . . . He is
fair. . . . He has played a highly hon
orable part in achieving much of the
most wholesome legislation on the
Btatute books today. Mr. Holder has
served Georgia wisely and well. He
deserves much at the hands of this
'ltate, I think.”
Adel News: “His platform through
out is a sensible and strong one—one
that will appeal to thinking people.”

tory of the state.”
Oglethorpe Echo: “John Holder
toulin’'t he insincere, if he tried.”

Fair and Impartial.
John T. Boifeuillet, for twenty years
terk of the house, said: “No other
GEO-‘Sian, except Senator Bacon, was
f%er speaker so long a time. I have
Uever known a fairer or more impar-
UYal presiding officer than John N.
Holger,»
Commerce News: *Mr. Holder's
‘'didadey is meeting with approval on
e part of all classes of people. If
flected, he will make onme of the best
Eo%mors the state has ever had.”
MR. GEORGE JENNINGS HOST
AT A FAMILY REUNION
Hundred Relatives and Friends His
Guests at Barbecue.
Mr. George Jennings entertained
a hundred guests at a barbecue Wed
nesday at Oliver’s mill. Before the
world war the reunion of the Jen
nings relatives and friends was an an
nual occasion of great interest. The
coming together Wednesday was the
first since Mr. George Jennings laid
down his gBun and returned to civilian
life. The weather was ideal for an
open air spend-the-day party and the
guests declare the barbecue was
cooked to perfection and was the
very best ever tasted, with everything
good that usually goes with such a
feast being liberally provided by the
generous host. Witermelons were
an important part of the typical
Georgia menu. The pavillion on the
crest of the hill furnished a cool and
inviting place for the guests.
Favors Reservations to League Pro
tecting American Interests and
Opposes Armenian Mandate.
Congressman Crisp makes formal
announcement in this issue of The
News of his candidacy for re-election.
He declares that he favors a
league of nations “with reservations
safeguarding American rights,” and
that he is opposed to accepting a
mandate over Armenia or any other
country and “will never vote to send
American soldiers overseas for any
such purpose.” Mr. Crisp declares
that he is also opposed to compulsory
military service.
RECEIVED MANY SOCIAL AT.
TENTIONS WHILE IN ALBANY
Miss Josie Catherine Albrect re
ceived many pleasant social atten
tions from the school girl set while
the recent guest of Mrs. O. C. Rad
ford in Albany.
| Covington . News: “John Holder {s
faithful and conscientious in the per
)formance of every duty. Let's elect
& newspaper man governor.”
Elberton Star: “He is a well known
and popular newspaper man, gnd will
recelve the strong support of many
papers and people.” .
Holder’s Public Life.
Many other equally strong indofse
ments might be quoted, bat just how
we desire to say a word about Mr.
Holder’s life and public record.
John Holder is, primarily, & farmer.
He is a successful farmer. His farm
is conducted on business principles.
It is a well-kept, prosperous farm. He
is also a successful newspaper man,
He has been one of the proprietors
and the editor of the Jackson Herald
gince 1891.
Born and reared on a farm in Jack
son county, working on the farm while
he went to school, he may literally be
said to have mada his way in life
wholly through his own effort. He
is a first honor graduate of the state
university at Athens. |
Honored By Home Folks.
There is no higher tribute that can
be paid a man than the repeated in
dorsement of his home people. For
eighteen years now, term after term,
they have elected him to the legis.
iature, both house and senate.
' Holding equally high opipion of his
ability, his integrity, his fairness and
other executive as well as personal
qualities, his colleagues have elected
him four times speaker of the house
of representatives. His service of
'eight years as speaker of the house
is a distinction which has been enjoy
ed by no other Georgian except Senator
A. 0. Bacon.
And, although he is not a lawyer
and never undertook legal study in
his life, he has presided with a skill,
a tact, a dignity and an ability that
have won him the praige and commen
dation of every one who has come into
contact with him.
3 Legislative Career.
| John Holder’s legislative career
has been marked, as Editor Nevin says,
lby a connection with “much of the
'most wholesome legislation on the stat
ate books today.” He began his leg
islative career by entering actively the
fight for inereased appropriations for
the common schools. He is standing
equally steadfast for them today, as
well as for longer terms and better
and more prompt pay for teachers.
His favorable attitude always to Geor
gia’s Confederate veterans and wid
ows is well known.
Holder's name appears as the sole
author of the law which ended the ob
noxious convict lease system, and put
the convicts to building good roads in
all the counties bf Georgia. His
name is connected with the measure
providing for uniform and cheaper
school text books; with ome of the
best health laws ever enacted by any
state; with the etate highway comr
mission act; with the establishment
of the state market bureau; with the
enactment of better banking laws foz
Georgia, and with many others, more
recently among them the effort «w
prevent any increased taxatjon and t¢
bring about greater economy in state
expenditure.
These are only a few of the good
things John Holder has done and help
ed to do for Georgia. His wide ex
perience and knowiedge in_the serv
ice of the state, eminently fit and
gualify him to be governor of Georgia
Vote for John Holder on Sep
tember 8. |
HAS INTRODUCED '
——— \ |
BOOSTS SCHOOL LEVY TO SEV
EN MILLS. ONLY ONE OTHER
LOCAL MEASURE. {
Representative 0. G. Cranford has
introduced in the legislature two of 1
the four local bills that were adver
tised. The other two will not be in-i
troduced.
One of the measures now before
the legislature affects only the peo
ple of Dawson. This is a bill author
izing a levy of $7.00 per thousand
for school purposes. The limit is
now $5.00, and if the senate passes
the pending measure an additional
tax of $2.00 a thousand will be
placed on property in the city limits.
The assessments on property were
raised also this summer for the pur
pose of obtaining more money.
The other bill which has been in
troduced increases the salary of the
clerk of the board of county commis
sioners from $3O to $6O a month.
No Raise for Chairman.
Dr. Cranford has informed The
News that he will not introduce a bill
to increase the salary of the chair
man of the board of county com
missioners from $250 to $l,OOO
a year, He says there is con
siderable opposition to this pro
posed legislation, and that a petition
in opposition to it containing 300 or
more names has been filed with him.
The other bill which will not be in
troduced proposed to amend the
charter of the town of Sasser so as
to authorize that municipality to is
sue bonds for the installation of wa
ter and light systems. It has been de
cided that this legislation is unneces
sary, as under the present charter of
the town Sasser can make these im
provements.
YOUNG LADY NARROWLY I
AVERTS SERIOUS ACCIDENT!
Supply of Gas Was Exhausted As~q
Automobile Neared Top of Hill. |
A very serious automobile accident‘
was narrowly averted while the
guests were in the midst of the bar
becue festivities at Oliver’s mill
Wednesday. Miss Ruth Smith with
other members of the family had
driven from Graves and parked theirl
car at the foot of a steep hill.|
Later she decided to go in the car up
to the pavilion, and just as she neared
the top of the steep incline the gas
gave out and the automobiie began
rolling rapidly down the hill. Realiz
ing her perilous position Miss Smith
by sheer force and presence of mind
managed to steer the machine so as
to avoid striking several large trees.
Those who witnessed the incident
held their breath, expecting a crash,
but one of the large pines was only
orazed by the wheels and this broke
the force of the impact with an old
dilapidated shop further down which,
if she had struck with the accumulat
ed force of the rapidly moving car,
would have caused it to collapse, and;
in all probability the young lady
would have been killed by falling
timbers. The rear right wheel of the
car was torn to shreds and the fender
broken and the top bent to one side.
Miss Smith was completely un
nerved by the experience, but sus
tained no other injuries and is re
ceiving the congratulations of her
many friends on her narrow escape.
