PRETTY THIN. THIS.
The people of Georgia now have the
spectacle of u Governor the Governor
of their Slate holding office, directing
a political campaign and running about
the State to make speeches. He made
two speeches last week. He delivers
another to-day. Of course, his friends
sav that his addresses are entirely non
political. However, the fact remains
that he is making speeches on the very
matter on which thousands of citizens
have taken issue with him the tax
equalization law. He is defending ids
record on this legislation. The Gover
nor is on the run. He is on the de
fensive. He’s scared. Macon News.
The ahove is a fair sample of the
“arguments” put forward in this cam
paign by the anti-Slaton organs and
orators. That the Governor has, by
invitation, made speeches at two or
three points in the State giving his
views on the new tax law stressing the
need of a better taxing system, explain
ing the operations of the tax equaliza
tion law and forecasting the benefits to
be derived from it jh wholly within the
bounds of official propriety. We should
invite the Governor to make the same
kind of talk in Newnan. Our people
would he glad of an opportunity to
hear him upon IhiH or any other subject.
On the run? Yes; running all right,
and running in the right direction.
Scared? Not so you would notice it.
A FINE RECORD.
Elsewhere on this page will he found
the announcement of Hon. .1. D. Price
as a candidate for re-election to the of
fice of Commissioner of Agriculture.
During the twelve months that Mr.
Price has administered the aff airs of
this department of the State Govern
ment he has made a splendid reeord —a
record that will (and should) appeal to
the large element of our voting popula
tion who look to tho Stale Department
of Agriculture to protect them from im
position in the matter of inferior grades
of fertilizer and from spurious feed
stuff’s that are constantly finding their
way into the markets.
Mr. Price is a practical farmer, and a
good one. He has never had any other
occupation, and no man in Georgia lias
done more to put the business of farm
ing iqmn n successful business basis.
Mr. Price's administration deserves
an indorsement, and that lie will be
overwhelmingly elocted in the August
primary seems now to he assured be
yond perudventurn.
Barncsvillo News-Gazette: “Hon. J.
I). Price, t’omniiHsioner of Agriculture,
has unquestionably made an excellent
record in his administration of this im
portant office one which will commend
him to the favorable consideration of
the voters of tho entire Slate, particu
larly those engaged in agricultural pur
suits. Ho bus been vigilant in looking
after the interests of the farmers, and
has obtained practical results which are
highly profitable to them, as an investi
gation will demonstrate. He is n prac
tical farmer, is thoroughly familiar
with the nerds of the farmers, and is
making the Agricultural Department of
the utmost value to them.”
The House has passed the hill to cre
ate the office of I.icutcnunt Governor.
As the measure hud previously passed
the Senate it only needs the signature
of the Governor to become a law. The
l.ieutcnanl Governor will preside over
the sessions of tho Senate, his compen
sation being the same as that now re
ceived by the president of that body.
In case of the death, resignation or re
moval of the Governor the Lieutenant
Governor would succeed automatically
to the Governorship for the unexptred
term, thus obviating the expense and
annoyance of a special election to till a
vacancy in this office. It is a good lew,
and one that has long been needed.
Up to Wednesday the State Tax Com
missioner, Judge John C. Hurt, had re
ceived digests from eighty of tho one
hundred and forty seven counties. None
of these are large counties, Fulton.
Chatham, Bibb, Richmond, Muscogee,
Coweta, and others of like size, not
having reported as yet. For the year
1913 these eighty counties showed a loss
in value of $512,437, us compared with
the returns for 1912 For 1914 they
show a gain of $82. fi.fi), $25. According
to Judge Hart's estimate the gain for
the entire State will not be less than
$100,000,000.
The political sensations of the week
was the announcement of Hon. R. 0.
Cochran on Monday withdrawing from
the race against Hon. Hoke Smith for
the U. S. Senatorship, and that of Hon.
W. J. Harris on Wednesday retiring
from the Governorship race. Mr. Har
ris’ retirement leaves only three candi
dates in the field for Governor—Judge
N. 1 . Harris of Macon, Hon. Randolph
Anderson of Savannah, and Dr. L. G.
Hardman of Commerce

Senatorial districts In the State from
forty-four to sixty was voted down in
the Senate Wednesday.
W. J. Harris Quits Race for Gov
ernor.
Washington, July 21.—Wm. J. Harris
has retired from the race for Governor.
He issued a formal statement here to
day announcing his decision.
Returning here after several weeks
spent in prosecuting his campaign in
Georgia, Mr. Harris found the Census
Bureau in such Hhapp that he realized
it would be necessary to give his undi
vided attention to the bureau, or lie
relieved of all responsibility for the
work.
After conferring with the President
and Secretary Redfield, of the Depart
ment of Commerce, of which the Census
Bureau is a part, he decided to give his
undivided time to the work of his im
portant. Government position.
This decision of Mr. Harris caused
much satisfaction among the officials of
the department and his friends in Con
gress. They regretted to see him leave
the place in which he has given such
general satisfaction to prosecute a cam
paign for the Governorship of Georgia.
The formal statement of Mr. Harris
follows ‘
“To the people of Georgia: I with
draw from the race for Governor.
"On my return here 1 find that the
work of the Census Bureau has accu
mulated during my absence, and will
require my presence here for several
weeks.
“The President and Secretary Red-
field have requested that I continue my
present work, and a large number of
Senators and members of Congress
have, in writing, petitioned that I re
main, stating that 1 could be of service
to my State and the entire country in
my present position.
"I wish to express to all my friends
in Georgia, who have so kindly given
me their support, my grateful and
lasting appreciation. In taking this
step I wish also to say to those gentle-
who have opposed me in the campaign
that I entertain only kind feelings for
them. William J. Harris.”

S. G. McLendon Victim of a Cruel
Hoax.
Atlanta, Ga., July lx. Realizing at
last what many had seen practically
from the first, that he was being made
the victim of a cruel and contemptible
hoax, S. G. McLeidon wrote a letter
yesterday afternoon withdrawing his
name as a candidate for Governor.
It looks very much ns if Mr. Mc
Lendon was victimized by a crowd of
heartless jokers, who wanted to humil
iate him.
J. C. Ethridge, of Eastman, the man
who started the report that he had $250
to put up for McLendon, is still around
town talking wiidly. Ho stated this
afternoon, even after Mr. McLendon
had written the letter withdrawing his
consent to the use of his name, that he
hud the money to put up for him and
that a $1,000 campaign fund had been
raised. Somebody else is evidently hack
of Ethridge, for the plain truth is that
he has not been in a mental condition
while here to “put over” anything ex
cept drinks, at which ho evidenced re
markable expertness.
Certain parties here indorsed drafts
for him, it is said. These drafts came
back and the indorsers had to pay them.
The people of Georgia, regardless of
politics, will resent this cruel and un
warranted attempt to humiliate a good
man, and one who is an invalid and
compelled to live in a rolling chair.
Investigations are under way here
that may result in exposing the whole
miserable scheme. If facts come out as
indicated some things revealed will
shake the State.

To Require Persons to Fulfill Con
tracts.
Atlanta, July 21. —If a bill introduced
by Hon. Grover Edmondson, of Brooks
county, becomes a law Georgia farm
ers will have protection in the advance
ment of money or supplies to tenants
and others. The law is a very neces
sary one, especially since the Govern
ment lias held that "peonage” covers
the simple matter of attempting to en
force payment of just debts.
The Edmondson bill is intended to
correct the defect pointed out in a de
cision of the Court of Appeals, which
held that where a farm laborer pro
cures an advancement on his contract
to perform specified services and works
only a few days and quits, that no
crime has been committed.
The Edmondson bill requires the per
son to whom an advance has been made
to fulfill his entire contract. Unless
he does so criminal prosecution can be
had against him on the ground of in-
i tent to defraud the party advancing
1 supplies or money.
Farmers w ho employ negro labor will
he especially inteiested in the passage
of the bill.

Death of Mrs. W. F. Jones.
Fayetteville News, 17th Inst.
Mrs. Myrtice Jones, a well-known
nnd beloved lady of Woolsey, died last
Monday at a hospital in Atlanta, after
an illness of several weeks.
Mrs. Jones was Miss Myrtice Perdue,
reared in Coweta county, and was 45
years of age. She had lived in this
county since her marriage to Mr. W.
F. Jones.
Mrs. Jones was a woman of nobility
and strength of character, with a dis
position which won the respect and es
teem of all who knew her. Hosts of
friends who knew her worth and good
ness will miss her, and her community
will not soon be able to repair the loss
of her noble and useful influence. She
was always ready to lend her aid to her
neighbors, her community and church.
The funeral was conducted at Wool
sey Wednesday afternoon by Rev. W.
H. Robinson, followed by the interment
at the cemetery at that place.
She is survived by her husband, Mr.
W. F. Jones, two daughters, Misses
Clyde and Grace Jones, two sons,
Messrs. George W. and Harry Jones.
Also three brothers and three sisters.
How the New Tax Law Works.
Atlanta Constitution.
Gwinnett county, whose tax returns
under the new tax equalization law are
just completed, presents a striking
spectacle in that it illustrates on a com
pact scale the virtues of the new law in
the State-at-large. An analysis of the
returns shows that perfect equity has
been observed as between all taxpay
ers. Satisfaction is practically univer
sal.
Tax values in Gwinnett county have
been increased over last year $828,732.
Notices were sent to each man raised,
hut not one appeared before the board
with a protest.
Property not heretofore on the tax
digest at all was assessed to the value
of $517,090.
Lost land, not heretofore returned
and amounting to 19,838 acres, owned
by 1,149 people, was restored to the di
gest, at a valuation of only $10 per
acre.
Of the property unreturned $210,740
was city property, and $192,254 was
country property, placing a bomb under
the misleading statement that equaliza
tion affected country property most.
Personal property was valued at $99,-
493.

IDE SECRET OF SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required to Win
the People’s Confidence
Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products that
are extensively advertised, all at once
dropout of sight and are soon forgot
ten? The reason is plain—the article
did not fulfill the promises of the man
ufacturer. This applies more particu
larly to a medicine. A medical prepa
ration that has real curative value al
most sells itself, as, like an endless
chain system, the remedy is recommend
ed by those who have been benefited, to
those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says; “Take
for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
a preparation I have sold for many
years and never hesitate to recommend,
for in almost every case it shows ex
cellent results, as many of my custo
mers testify. No other kidney remedy
that I know of has so large a sale.”
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who
have used the preparation, the success
of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to
the fact that it fulfills almost every
wish in overcoming kidney, liver and
bladder diseases, corrects urinary
troubles and neutralizes the uric acid,
which causes rheumatism.

PRICE HAS FINE RECORD;
IS A PRACTICAL FARMER
To the People of Georgia;
1 want you to know that I
am a candidate for re-election as Com
missioner of Agriculture. In view of
the fact that the duties of my office
make it impossible for me to get into
every county of the State, 1 take this
opportunity of appealing to you for your
endorsement and base ray plea solely
nil what, has been done by the Depart
ment during my administration.
1 am a practical farmer and have fol
lowed this occupation all my life. It
was natural, therefore, that I should
feel a keen Interest in the problems con
fronting the farmers of Georgia. I
went into the Department with an ambi-
. tion to be of practical service to the
JHB thousands of Georgians engaged in agri-
culture, stock raising and similar pursuits.
J. D. PRICE. Let me tell you briefly, without dis
paragement to any of my predecessors, what the department has done
under my administration the past twelve months.
As Commissioner of Agriculture, my duties have involved the In
spection and regulation of the sale of fertilizers, illuminating oils and
gasoline; carrying out the provisions and requirements of the pure
food and pure feed laws; the work of a department of animal husband
ry with an expert veterinarian in charge, and the far-reaching activi
ties of the State Department of Entomology.
During the first FIVE months of the present year 11,109 samples
of fertilizers were taken, an increase of 1,584 samples, as compared
with tlie ENTIRE year of 1913. Of this number 2,672 were of the
“special" kind, in which reports of analyses are sent direct to the
farmer in order that he may know the results before the official bulle
tin is issued; and this number exceeded by 1,035 the total number of
special samples taken in any previous season, meaning that more than
1,000 more farmers were given the advantage of special reports
on their fertilizer purchases.
I have turned into the State Treasury to be used for the education
of the farmer boys and girls of Georgia more money than has ever
been turned in by the State Department of Agriculture for a similar
period.
During the year ending June 30, 1914, we have analyzed 1,196 sam
ples of foods, feedstuffs and drugs. Results of analyses Have in every
instance been sent to both manufacturer and consumer.
The work accomplished by the State Entomologist, the State Veteri
narian and the State Oil Inspector in their respective departments, has
been equally notable and a full account of it is given in my annual
report to the Governor.
I am urging and shall continue to urge the enactment of legislation
that will strengthen the work of the department and render more effect
ive existing laws relative to pure foods, feedstuffs, fertilizers and pre
vention of infection to plants and animals.
It is ray desire to have the Department of Agriculture render In
creasingly active and effective aid in the development of this, one of
the greatest agricultural sections in the world. I am confident that
tlie scope and usefulness of the department can be steadily increased
along all lines, and to this end I pledge my earnest and faithful service
in the event you give me your endorsement at the polls on August 19th.
In addition to the record of what the department has accomplished
during my administration, there are three points in my personal record
which, I believe, bear directly on the issue in this primary;
I am the only candidate for Commissioner of Agriculture who has
always been an organized Democrat and can point to a record of life
long loyalty to the party.
I am the only candidate for Commissioner of Agriculture who is not
and has never been connected with any fertilizer or guano company.
I am the only candidate for Commissioner of Agriculture who is a
practical farmer. I have farmed all my life and I derive my living from
the farm. The law which created the Department of Agriculture ex
pressly states that the Commissioner must be a “practical farmer."
Doth on my personal record, therefore, and on the record of what the
department has accomplished during the past year, I ask your sup
port at tlie polls on August 19, and pledge you my earnest and faith
ful service in the event I am re-elected.
(Signed) J- D. PRICE,
Commissioner of Agriculture.
