: PLACE LONG ENOUGH
e a—
Weestern, Central and South Georgla
Want Representation on Rallroad
Commission—Bankston The
Man They Want
Since the following announcement
appeared in the daily papers, letters of
sndorsment from all sections of the
state indicate the election of W. Trox
Bankston of West Polnt, Troup county,
lor Railroad Commissioner as & cer
minty. After reading it, get busy and
delp Bankston to win.
West Point, Ga., August 7th, 1820.
f'o the Pepple of Georgia:
When the generous and big-heart
»d people of the best state in the
Union were informed of the devasta
don wrought by the flood at West
Point last December, when she was
ravaged by the turbulent Chattahoo
shee River, they responded to her call
for help with a liberality which evi
fenced their love for the stricken city.
While not a recipient of their dollars,
there is not a resident of this city
who appreciated the generous contri
butions more than myself.
Less than four months after, when
8 tornado swept West Point, leaving
fleath and destructiog in its path, Geor
glans again wanted to help my home
town; our citizens, with their indomi
table spirit, took care of the unfortun
ates without outside assistance.
While my own financial loss from
the flood and tornado was & heavy
one, I humbly bow ic submission to
decree of fate, and am neither dis
pouraged nor broke; yet there is ome
thing I would like to have from Geor
glans; that is, their vote for Rauroad!
Commissioner to sucoeed the present
fncumbent, P. B. Trammel.
Col. L. N. Trammel most ably filled
that office until his death, and after
g short interval, his son, the incum
bent, was appointed to the commis
slon. Bince that time he has beex
med twice and is a candidate for &
time. He has two sons, eithe:
xwwmmelmbutomuqfice,u
ey should aspire to ft.
The continuation of asy one family
znofice partakes of autocracy and i
iirectly contrary to my ideas of Dem
gncy. for which I have always con
ded, and shall continue to do s¢
&8 long as life shall last, whether ]
win or lose.
I want another interval in this fam
E succession to ofice and I want this
terval named Bankston. :
My record as chairman of the Rail
g:d Committee of the House of Rep
entatives for two years, while a
homber of the legislature from Troup
county, showse conclusively that the
ons cannot control me. In‘a
Em, which came up for contidersdon‘
ore that committee, which was op
med by one of the biggest corpora
s in the Southland, a tie vote re
bglted, and, as chalrman, it was nec
essary for me to cast the deciding
vote, which was against the interests
ol that corporation. My vote will
probably cost me their opposition, and
perhaps that of other corporations; yet
{ prefer their antagonism to sacrifio
tng principle to curry their favor.
After reading the printed evidence
recently submitted tlre Railroad Com:
mission, I belleve 1 would have again
{ncurred the antagonism of the corpo
Women !
Here is a message to
suffering women, from
Mg, W. T. Price, of
Public, Ky.: “I suf
fered with painful...”,
ghe writes. “I got down
with a weaknegs in my
back and limbs...l
felt helpless and dis
couraged...l had about
given up hopes of ever
being well again, when
a friend insisted I
Take
CARDUI
g €
The Woman's Tonic
I began Cardui. In
a short while I saw a
marked difference...
I grew stronger right
along, and it cured me.
1 am stouter than I
have Been in years.”
If you suffer, you can
appreciate what it
mezns to be strong and
well. Thousands of wo
men give Cardui the
tredit for their good
health. It should help
you. Try Cardui. At all
druggisis, E-73
rations by refusing to grant the In
orease in car fare and electric current,
a 8 well as gas furnished to consum:
ars.
The word “corporation” is no night
mere to me simply because it bears
that name, and I think corporations
are entitled to a fair return on the
actual money invested, as well as in
dividuals, but I am sure their custom:
ers should not have to pay increased
rates tha: a dividend may be paid on
watered stock.
At the recent meeting of the Geor
gia Press Association, held at Car
rollton, I was honored by being elected
an honorary lifetime member, which
| 1 highly appreciate. Now if the peo
ple of Georgia will elect me Railroad
% Commissioner to succeed Mr. Tram:
| mel, I will be the happiest man in the
' State, and assure the people 1 will give
them the best service I am capable of
rendering, and will devote my entise
time to the discharge of the duties of
that ofice.
If the many thousands of voters
who voted for me before will get busy
and get their friends to vote with
them for Bankston this time, I will
sweep the state from Tybee light to
Rabun Gap. :
Western @eorgia has had no mem
per of the Railroad Commission since
the resignation of Fuller E. Callaway
more than twelve years ago; while
North @eorgia has had almost contin
aous representation.
Wwill you help Western Georgia to get
representation on the Rallroad Com
mission?
Yours to serve,
W. TROX BANKSTON.
SLUMP IN HOTOR MARKET;
Number of Leading Manufacturers
Have Already Materially Reduced
Their Forces of Workmen,
Suspension of the automobile in
dustry in a short time because of
fewer orders and ‘the fighting of
money by banks is foreseen by In
dianapolis motor car manufacturers.
Thousands of employes of automo
bile factories have already been
laid off and others are on short time.
If the banks continue their refusal
to grant loans or to extend those al
ready out every branch of the motor
car industry will be forced to shut
down pretty soon, in the opinion of
officials in Indianapolis. The Nor
dyke and Marmon company has re
leased 2,000 men and the National
plant has closed down with the ex
ception of the service and shipping
departments. Fifty thousand motor
car makers are idle in Detroit, while
at Akron, 0., center of the tire mak
ing industry, 25,000 workmen are
out of employment.
“People simply are not. buying
cars now,” an official of one automo
bile company said. He declared it is
growing more difficult for dealers
and manufacturers to obtain loans,
and said this is responsible largely
for the general layoff.
Money Was All in Silver, and Was
Found on the Miller Plantation
: Near Preston,
Sheriff C. M. Christian, of Web
ster county, unearthed a half gallon
fruit jar containing $284.25 while
raiding an illicit still on the Miller
plantation, near Preston. The money
was in silver dollars, halves, quar
ters, dimes and nickels, and near
where is was buried a complete out
fit, including a copper worm, was
found. A negro living nearby, and
in whose house a small quantity of
liquor was found, was arrested and
taken to Preston, but as yet no one
has claimed the money found buried
in the jar.
FARMER REFUSES $1,400
AN ACRE FOR HIS LAND
Was Bought a Year Ago For Half
<That Price.
" STERLING, Col.—A new valua
tion on Logan county land was es
“tablished when Henry Therkhorn,
owner of a five-acre tract a short
distance south of the city along the
Lincoln Highway, refused an offer
of $7,000 for his place. This is equal
to $1,400 an acre, but includes all
improvements ,and if the cost of the
latter were deducted the price would
represent at least $BOO an acre, as
the improvements could be replaced
for $3,000. Mr. Therkhorn purchas
ed the tract about a year ago for
$3,500, and he holds it today at bet
ter than twice the figure he paid
for it.

IN MEMORIAM. l
Mrs. Ida G. Christie, nee Whaley,
was born May 31, 1859, at thel
Whaley homestead, Lake Eula, near
Parrott, Ga. :
Sh 4 was the daughter of John
Douglas Whaley, a Confederate vet
eran, and Martha Alice Parrott. Her
paternal grandparents were J. A.
Whaley, who served in the Indian
war, and Nancy Lake. The ances
tors of these were prominent in the
history of North Carolina: l
Her maternal grandparents, James
and Harriet Dennard, were decend-!
ants of the Parrotts of Virginia, of
the old South.
She was one of a family of eight
children, being the eldest of five
girls. When only. twelve years of
age her mother died. A cousin, Miss
Addie Gregory, now of Macon, Ga,,
came into the home and was indeed
a mother to the orphan children,
Her care and training fitted them
for lives of prominence and useful
ness.
She received her education in the}
private schools of Dawson, graduat
ing at Owen Nelson Institute, Daw
son, Ga.
October 11, 1877, she was mar
ried to D. K. Christie, who is the
son of Benjamin G. Christie and
Anna E. Kaigler. ! !
Mrs. Christie was the mother of
eleven children, ten of whom with
her husband survive her. Paul died
in infancy. Those living are Mrs. C.
V. Youmans, W. E. Christie, Atlan
ta; Mrs. I. C. Melton, Dawson; O.
P. Christie, Parrott; Mrs. S. O.
Thompson, Odum; Mrs, J. S. Plaxco,
Augusta; Mrs. W, V. Bell, Hawkins
ville; D. K. Christie, jr., Yeomans;
Mrs. R. E. O’Hara, Jacksonville, Fla.;
Miss Ida Christie, Dawson,
She is also survived by eleven
grandchildren, and two brothers and
one sister, J. C. Whaley, J. H. Wha
ley and Mrs. J. H. Williiord, Par
rott, Ga.
Her last days were full of pain,
but there was no murmurim%; Dur
ing these days of suffering she had
the comfort of one of her daughters
being ever by her bedside to minis
ter unto her. Her husband and chil
dren have comfort in the fact that
everything love could suggest or
medical aid could render was done
for the sufferer. She realized her
frail hold upon life, and her tired
body, worn and weary with waiting,
gradually weakened until God, in
watchful tenderness, bade his child
come home.
She died August 10, 1920, in a
private sanitorium in Atlanta, Ga.
The funeral services were held Aug
‘ust 10, at the family residence in
Dawson, the Rev. T. H. Thomson
performing the last sad rites.
Many floral offerings, whose
beauty and fragrance, spoke elo
quently of the beautiful life of the
deceased and the love and esteem of
friends, were laid on her -casket.
Her body was laid to rest in Cedar
Hill cemetery.
Mrs. Christie lived well—life to
her was sacred. She looked on it,
lifted it and bore it solemnly. She
stood up and walked beneath it
steadfastly, though sorrows came
she did not fail, she faltered not but
pressed onward and upward until the
goal was won. ,
She was joy, strength and sympa
thy to an idolized family. Truly the
heart of her husband did safely trust
in her, and her children rise up and
icall her blessed. Yea, she was all a
wife, a mother, a friend could be.
She believed domesticity to be a
virtue, and made home radiant with
sunshine, happy wiith song, and
beautiful with fragrant flowers. Her
hospitality was bounded only by op
portunity, and her manners bore
that beautiful simplicity and win
ning modesty which evidences gen
tle nature and splendid breeding.
When God gave her children she
shared her life with them, safe
guarded their interests and fostered
their virtues as tenderly as the
petals protect the heart of the flow
er.
Her life is imperishable. She will
live in the hearts and lives of her
children, all of whom are filling
places of usefulness in the social
and business world. As in the years
when she walked by the side of her
husband as a helpmeet she will still
be his counsellor and guide.
And now, husband, children and
friends since God has reached down
and lifting this dear one in His
arms and placing her beyond all
hurt, beyond our sight, and bade her
wait for us, shall we not be glad and,
thanking Him, press on to overtake?
1 What Mrs. Brenninger, of New York,
| Says About Rat Poison.
~ “Tried preparations that kill rats,
but RAT-SNAP is the only one that
prevents disagreeable odors after kill
ing. Also like RAT-SNAP because it
comes in handy cakes, no mixing
with other food. You don’t have to
dirty your hands, it’s the best for
household use.” Try RAT-SNAP.
