Carpenter. BROWN A CARPENTER, Kt'llOtlH ANII PUflLUHERJf. MR. WRIGHTS PLATFORM. In the opening speech of his campaign at l.aGrange on Monday last Hon. W. C. Wright announcetl th<* following as the platform upon which ho bases his candidacy for Congress “I favor the enactment of a law pro viding for a system of rural credits, whereby the farmer may borrow money on his land on long time and at a low rate of interest. “I approve the law enacted during I he present Administration which re vised and reformed the tariff - ; and I fa vor the Democratic policy of a tariff for revenue only, fixing the duties lower on the necessities of life than upon the luxuries. "A high protective tariff is the moth er of trusts, and the formation of the numerous trusts which have been sap ping our commercial life were made possible by the Republican tariff. I fa vor the policy of the present Adminis tration in its efforts to break up theRe unlawful combinations in restraint of trade. "1 am opposed to negroes holding Federal offices of any character. “I favor the extension and improve ment of the free rural mail delivery system. "I favor the parcel post, and such extension of the system as will result in the greatest good to the greatest number. "I am in favor of farm demonstra tion work, under the approval of the United Stutes Department of Agricul ture. "1 am in hearty accord with the movement to secure appropriations from the Federal Government for the construction of good roads, and if elec ted will use my host efforts to secure such appropriations. “I am in favor of the currency re form law enacted during the present Administration, and believe it will re sult in preventing financial panics and stringency in our money markets. “I am in favor of the regulation, hut not the confiscation, by the Government of interstate transportation and public utility companies. “I am opposed to Federal Judges be ing appointed for life. "I believe public officers should be the servants of the people. “At the expiration of his present term my honorable opponent will have been in Congress from this district for eighteen years, and will have drawn as salary during that time $107,501). Don’t you think it is time to make a change?" I’retty sound platform for an old- fashioned Democrat to stand on, don't you think? This seems to be the gen eral opinion, judging from the way the voters of the district are rallying to Mr. Wright’s support. O, we are not through with this cam paign yet not yet. 77/A’ WAR IN EUROPE. Nearly the whole of Europe is aflame with war, the detuils of which are too voluminous and distracting to be cov ered in the limited space available to the average country weekly. With Ger many and Austria-Hungary arrayed u|>on one side, and Russia, Frunce, Eng land, Belgium, Servia and Montenegro upon the other, the struggle for su premacy promises even at this early stsge to be the most devastating war that the Christian world hus ever known. While the conflict was provoked by Aus tria-Hungary, the nations of Europe attribute the rupture t-> the sinister machinations of Germany, operating through its Teutonic neighbor and ally, lte this as it may, the dreadful issue has been made, the ‘‘dogs of war” have been loosed, and all Christendom stands appalled at the frightful waste of life and treasure that the nations in volved must suffer in the final compu tation of losses that will inevitably fol low, with nothing gained save the empty glory of compiest. (’resident Wilson has tendered to the warring (lowers the good offices of this Government us mediator, in the inter est of a peaceful adjustment of the dif ferences that provoked the conflict, but it is not believed that his friendly offer will be accepted by either of the na tions involved. Germany, which is real ly responsible for the war, has gone too far to turn back. Her “war lord" has been strutting before the world for twenty years with a chip on his shoul der, and now he will have to reckon not only with an armed force superior in numbers and lighting ability to that of Germany and Austria-Hungary com bined, but with the sympathy and sen timent of all peace - loving nations against him. Germany has been a menace to the peace of Europe for more than a decade, and tranquil conditions in that country will not be permanently assured until she has been practically wiped off the map. Unless all signs fail, this is the penalty she w ill ultimately have to pay. So be it. tjjick to take action where the in terests of the farmers of his State and section are endangered, Hon. J. D. Price, Commissioner of Agriculture, has cafled a meeting of the Association of Commissioners of Agriculture for the Southern States to meet for the purpose of devising means and to agree upon some concert of action to protect the farmers of the South from loss or financial embarrassment in marketing the present crop of cotton. Just what measures of relief will be adopted to meet the situation can only be deter mined after the association has had op portunity to go into the matter thor oughly, but the movement is an emi nently sensible one, and Commissioner Price is to be commended for his promptness in starting it. The effect of the European war upon the South's chief money crop is fraught with grave possibilities, although it is hoped that means will be found to avert any seri ous danger that may threaten this great industry. Hon. Garland M. Jones proved his value as a useful and vigilant legisla tor when he took a determined stand in the House last week in opposition to a bill to increase the per diem of mem bers of the General Assembly from $4 to $7. He was the only member to make a speech against the measure, hiB contention being that the present con dition of the State’s finances did not authorize the proposed salary grab, (for it could be called nothing else.) The measure was defeated, thus saving to the taxpayers of the State $35,000 to $ 10,000 per annum. The bill had strong support in the House, and, but for Mr. Jones’ spirited opposition, might have passed. Good work. In his canvass of the district Hon. W. C. Wright, candidate for Congress, is receiving the warmest encourage ment in all quarters. However, he is taking nothing for granted, and is meeting the people face to face, both at his speaking appointments and in the very effective house to house can vass he is conducting. In fact, he is making a whirlwind campaign, and wherever he goes his pathway is strewn with wreckage for the opposition. If you don’t believe Wright is some run ner, just try to keep up with him. The entire nation mourns with Presi dent Wilson in the deep bereavement occasioned by the death of his beloved wife, which occurred at the White House yesterday afternoon at 5 o’clock. She had been ill for several months. This affliction, corning upon the Presi dent at a time when he wus already weighed down by the cares and anxie ties of an unusually turbulent period through which his administration has been passing for several months past, is more than sorrowful. It is pathetic. The Carroll County Adamson Club boasts a membership of two thousand — mostly on paper. That isn’t a marker to the three thousand sturdy Coweta Democrats who are backing Hill Wright for Congress, nor has it been found necessary to make a house to house canvas in order to secure pledges of support either, as is being done over in Carroll. Dallas New Era: "Hon. J. D. Price, Commissioner of Agriculture, is a far mer, and lias never done anything but farm. In our opinion he deserves an other term.” The Legislature will adjourn next Wednesday. Card From Hon. Garland Jones. To the voters of Coweta county: In the race for re-election to the General Assembly it is my earnest desire to see personally every voter in the county, but on account of the Legislature being in session until after Aug. 12, (only live days before the primary,) it will be impossible for me to do so. Because of the large amount of im portant legislation still upon the calen dar, vitally affecting the interests of Coweta county, as well ns the State of Georgia, I am compelled to remain at the capitol every moment of the present session. I appreciate the confidence of my constituents, and assure you, if re elected, I shall continue to' stnnd for economy in all alfairs of the State, the keeping of the expenses of the State below the revenues, the payment of taxes equally by the people and coun ties of the State, the reduction of the tax rates, and passage of only sane and sound legislation which will help the people of Coweta county.

Bill Wright is one of the ablest men in Georgia, and just as clean as he is able. He is essentially a man of the people, and of the highest class Con gressional timber. He is a hard lighter, well built for endurance, and is going to make things hum in the Fourth. He has many friends in Meriwether, who are actively supporting him. LaGrangc Graphic. The spirit of rotation is strong among Democratic people, and if Mr. Adam son should be "rotated out” this time he would be broader-minded than to think the people do not appreciate his services merely because they do not see fit to make his job one of life ten ure. Buena V.ata Patriot. In this week’s issue of The Ratriot appears the announcement of Hon. W. C. Wright, of Newnan, far Congress from the Fourth district. The an nouncement of Mr. Wright occasioned very little surprise, as it has long been known that there was strong opposi tion to Judge Adamson. There is a feeling throughout the district that he should be retired to private life. For eighteen years he has represented the district, and The Patriot can see no reason why he should receive further consideration. Hon. W. C. Wright is one of the leading lawyers of the State, his ability is unquestioned, while his public and private life are above re proach. Reports from over the district indicate Mr. Wright’s nomination on Aug. 19, while Marion county will give him a splendid majority. Carroll County Times. In this week’s Times is the an nouncement of Hon. W. C. Wright, seeking the nomination for Congress from this district. Will Wright is a native of Carroll county; a man that we are all justly very proud of; an able attorney, a clean man and a Christian gentleman. Under different conditions, there is no man in the Fourth district for whom we had rather vote. Indeed, there is no other man but Charles Adamson for whom we would vote, with Will Wright in the race, and it has been, and is yet, our hope that he shall succeed Charles, but not at this time. Should he receive the nomination and election he will make a Congressman of whom the State and district will be proud. No man questions his ability; no one doubts that he would make an able and in fluential Congressman, of whom the entire State would be proud. Communicated. Carroll County Indorses Adamson for Congress. Responding to the call of Hen. W. O. Perry, chairman of the Democratic Ex ecutive Committee of Carroll county, one thousand Carroll county voters as sembled at the court-house at Carroll ton on Aug. 4. and by rising vote unan imously adopted a resolution indorsing Hon. W. C. Adamson for Congress, and pledging him their support in the coming primary. A Carroll County Adamson Club was organized, with Hon. C. E. Roop, So licitor of the City Court of Carrollton, as president, and Adamson headquar ters were established in the Roop build ing. Before the sun went down on the day of organization the club member ship had reached 2,O0(). A number of able addresses were de livered by prominent citizens of the county in behalf of Judge Adamson’s candidacy, all of which were enthusias tically received by the large number of voters present. The spontaneous interest manifested in Judge Adamson’s candidacy, and the voluntary pledges of support tendered, leave no doubt as to the attitude of the voters of Carroll county. The voters of Carroll may have their friendly dif ferences over some issues, but when it comes to Chas. Adamson they are uni ted. Carroll County Adamson Club. C. E. Roop, President.
