pulpit at the Methodist church Sun
day evening. Reared in Dawson Mr.

es, let us lay aside every weight, and
the sin which doth so eaisly beset

JOE‘ll‘l N o Holder
Georgia’s Next Govern
THE REASONS WHY: |
® :
. John Holder is going to be Georgia’s next governor be
cause he is capable; because—
He is big, broadminded and FAIR; because—
He has served Georgia well for nineteen years as legis
lator and for eight years as Speaker of the House of Repre
sentatives; because—
He knows the conditions in Georgia and the State’s needs
as few others know them; because—
He is a man of the people a farmer a successful
farmer and business man, and—
THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA KNOW IT.
The Atlanta Constitution and the Macon Telegraph got
together and simultaneously told John Holder to get out of
the race, in order that their candidate might be elected. ‘
*But he is in the race—in it to win—because— :
The people throughout Georgia have declared they pro
pose to decide this thing for themselves.
From all over Georgia comes that positive assertion.
We shall quote just a few of the hundreds of emphatic pro
tests that have reached us: : ‘
Editor J. F. Shannon of the Commerce News: “Georgila
taxpayers have the right to vote for the candidate of their
choice and they will not be bulldoaed by The Constitution and
‘prominent court officers.’ The onstitutign and ‘prominent
court officers’ can’t kick John Holder out of the race.”
The Jackson County Holder Club: “In the name of
2,600 loyal Georgians of the Jackson County Holder Club
and loyal Democrats in every gection of the state, we earn
estly protest your effort to put Holder out of the race.
Being a farmer, editor-and business man, not & law?'er, it
{s a wonder that a good many lawyers and ‘court officers’
are not supporting him.”
: Editor Jeff Carter of the Catoosa Record: “Noting that
the Clark Howell clique has asked you to withdraw, we re
quest you to stay in until the finish. You are the strongest
man and will win regardless of the Atlanta Constitution’s angd
Macon Telegraph’s desire that you withdraw for their can
didate, Clitford Walker.” - i
W. A. Perryman, prominent Farmer of Rnndol&h County!? -
“We claim to be good Democrats and we resent is sugges
tion from The Constitution and Telegraph.
H. S. Golding, well-known South Georgia Farmer:
“The claim *of the Constitution that Walker will carry South
Georgla, ils just one more of their tricks to fool the peo¥le.
: You will carry Thomas, Grady and Mitchell counties. he
farmers are solidly behind youw.”
L. F. Roberts, leading Hall County Merchant: “Hope
you will pay no attention to this bosh. I know you are de
: cidedly stronger in this section.”
E. S. Martin, prominent Banker of Mont%)mer County:
“Don’t get out of the race. Walker cannot beat ilardwlck.
You undoubtedly can. The people should say who is to be
~governor, not a few editors and politicians.”
Frank Dunn, Atlanta: “The Constitution’s editorial and
our courageous stand have won me over, and I am sure they
: ¥sve also won many thousands of other noble Georgians who
% eel they are competent to think for themselves.”
‘ These are just a few out of many, but they represent .
widely separated sections of the state.
What do you say, Georgia Voters?
" Will you allow two editors to “handpick” your govere
nor for you?
This effort to kick him out of the race has made John
Holder friends and votes all over Georgia. In every speech
he has made in which John Holder has told his hearers of
the efforts of the Constitution and Telegraph to kick him out
of the race, cries have come back from his audience, amid
loud cheers—
“ Don’t let them do it! . We’ll stick to you!” 7
They meant it, and they are going to do it, because—
John Holder has always stuck to the people!

games. Present on these occasions,
to watch and encourage the contest
ants, were friends, and according to
popular tradition the gods and he
roes of the past whom the atletes
admired and emulated.
In our race, the speaker stated,
the patriarchs, the martyrs, the he
roes of faith mentioned by the apos
tle in the eleventh chapter of He
brews, are witnesses; God, the Fath
er, Christ the Son, and the Holy
spirit are also witnesses as are the
good and great men and women of
all ages. They are interested in us,]
watching to see with what success
we are running the race set before |
us. The presence of these witnesses
is a source of comfort and encour
agement to us and should inspire us
to do our utmost to run with pa
tience and win at last the promised
crown, a crown that fadeth not
away.
The message closed with an earn
est exhortation to patience and per
severence and made a profound im
pression upon the large congrega

THE DAWSON NEWS
OF TERRELL TAXES
NAMED TO REPRESENT STATE.
HE AND WILKINSON WILL
SELECT THIRD MAN.
State Tax Commissioner Full
bright has appointed Mr. C. T. Till
man, a prominent business man of
Quitman, to represent his offices in
arbitrating the tax returns of Ter
rell county. The board of tax equal
izers of the county had previously
named Hon. H. A. Wilkinson to rep
resent the taxpayers of the county
on the board of arbitration, and
Messrs. Tillman and Wilkinson will
select the third man. Mr. Tillman
has already proposed a citizen of
Thomasville, and Mr. Wilkinson, it
is understood, will offer to Mr. Till
man the names of a number of prom
inent men of this section who are
familiar with property values in this
immediate part of the state, any one
of whom will be acceptable to him.
Mr. Fullbright directed that the
tax returns of Terrell county be in
creased $2,000,000, about 40 per
cent, The board of equalizers be
lieved that was too great an increase
of the tax burden, and refused to
raise values as given by the re
turns, which showed an increase of
$200,000 over last year. The .result
is that Terrell's tax returns will be
arbitrated, as provided by law when
the state tax commissioner is dis
satisfied with the tax returns of a
county.
The matter, it is understood, may
find its way into the ceurts before
it is finally settled. :

“TO THE WHITE VOTERS OF THE
STATE OF GEORGIA: |
_ “I wish you to consider the follow
ing statement. It is absolutely true
and can be proved by any number of
men. It will not be denied by Gov
ernor Dorsey: \
“I am an experienced gardner andl
florist. I was appointed under Gov
ernor Smith-# look after the flowers,
grass and trees at the capitol gorunds
and at the governor’s mansion. I
was reappointed in this work by Gov
ernor Brown, by Governor Slaton and
by Governor Harris. For a short time
during this period I left of my own
adeord to do some private work and
was then reappointed to do this work
for the State. I am a white man, fifty
years old. -
“In July, 1919, I was notified that
my services were no longer needed, as
Governor Dorsey thought he could
have the work done by a man who
would not charpe as much. I was
drawing at that time $lOO a month.
As soon as'l left my position was
given to a negro from Fayette coun
ty, who is said to be a family servant
of the Dorsey family. His name is
Rufus Bennett. He is now filling the
position that I had, and is to be seen
by any one who watches work being
done on the capitol grounds.
“He is drawing $21.25 a_ week.
While this is a little less than I drew,
there is really no saving to the state,
because I had no assistant and there
is another negro employed to assist
Rufus Bennett in doing his work.
“My services were satisfactory to
Governor Smith, Governor Brown
Governor Slaton and Governor Harris,
I have a letter from Governor Dor
sey’s keeper of buildings and grounds
saying that my services were satisfac
tory to them. The notice discharging
me gave as the reason that the work
could be done by a lower price man
I have already said that this did pot
save any money to the state, because
the negro who took my place had to
have an asisstant employed to do his
work. But if it was necessary to get
a lower price man to save money for
the state, I am sure some deserving
white man could have been found to
take the position.
“This is simply a statement of the
exact facts in connection with this
matter.
«“FPRANK GRANT,
“21 Mathews Ave., Kirkwood, Ga.”
This is a copy of the letter which
Gov. Dorsey’s custodian sent to Mr.
Grant. You will see that Gov. Dorsey
said Mr. Grant was the most capable
man he could get. The state did not
save any money when Mr. Grant was
discharged to make a place for a
negro who was a family servant of
the Dorseys from his old home in
' Fayette County, because it was nec
essary to employ, an assistant for him

In a letter from the Governor today
he informs me .that he will dispense

| ther states that you are a capable
' man, and that we could not get 2
more capable man for the position
but th-t the amount paid for the
work to be done at the Capitol in
your line will not warrant the wages
we are paying.
If you can obtain work before th:
time mentioned that would be com
natible with your desires we would
have no hesitancy in relieving you.
