The Legislature adjourned Wednes
day night, after an unsually busy ses
sion. A number of meritorious meas
ures were enacted into law, but a much
larger number failed of passage.
Among the latter was the school book
bill, the bill to exempt college en
dowments from taxation, the bill pro
viding for biennial sessions ot the Gen
eral Assembly, the bill prescribing
four-year terms for State and county
officers and making the Governor ineli
gible to re-election, besides a number
of other important measures. The fol
lowing bills were passed, viz:
To create the counties of Barrow,
Candler, Bacon and Kvans.
To reorganize the State Board of
Health.
To change the date for holding State
ami county elections from the first Wed
nesday in October to the first Tuesday
in November, thus consolidating all gen
eral electisns.
To make members of the General As
sembly hold over unlil their successors
are elected and qualified.
To increase the powers of the Depart
ment of Agriculture in the regulation
of pure food laws and in checking hog
cholera and cattle tick.
To give State aid to the Entomologi
cal Department in eradicating black
root and fighting the boll weevil.
To amplify existing laws relative to
the employment of child labor.
To make it a misdemeanor to draw a
check against a bank in which the
drawer of the check has no money on
deposit.
CONTEMl'TIHt.E.
A few days ago ex-Judge Newt Mor
ris, of Marietta, printed a card in
the Atlanta papers in which he
charged that nn inspection of the tax
books of Fulton county showed that
both Gov. Slaton and Mrs. Slaton
were tax dodgers, etc. He charged
specifically that Mrs. Slaton returned
no personalty for taxation, yet the facts
are that Mrs. Slaton did return person
alty to the amount of $11,01)0, besides
real estate valued at. $415,725, and that,
she will pay in taxes this year the sum
of $(5,000. His charge of tax dodging
against Gov. Slaton was also shown to
be unfounded, as revealed by the tax
digest of 101 1. According to the digest
(iov. Slaton returned property this year
to the amount of $15,200, as against
$0, GOO in 1913.
Measured by Judge Morris' standard,
even a baseless charge against Gov.
Slaton might be considered plausible
politics, because the Governor is a can
didate and therefore regarded as a fair
target for any shaft aimed at him,
however envenomed it may be: but to
retlect upon Mrs. Slaton’s honesty,
from no motive other than to embarrass
her husband's candidacy, is cowardly
and contemptible.
The attention of every reader of The
llernld and Advertiser is called to the
splendid speech of Hon. W (\ Wright,
delivered at Talbot ton on Friday last.
It is a clean-cut. candid declaration of
the principles for which Mr. Wright
stands, and upon which he is making
the race for Congress. It is moreover
a manly, straightforward presentation
of the issues involved in the campaign,
and will carry conviction wherever it is
read and pondered. It is a vote-maker
too, as is evidenced by the warm re
ceptions and earnest pledges of support
he has been receiving at all of his ap
pointments.
Atlanta Constitution; "The prompt
action of Commissioner of Agriculture
James D Price in calling a meeting of
the Commissioners of Agriculture of
the South to meet in Washington to
take steps to relievo the cotton-growers
in the face of what appears to be a cri
sis as a result of the European war, is
being very favorably commented on by
officials at the capitol, and it is pre
dicted that, the meeting will result in
great good to the farmers of the State.
Mr. Price is right in the midst of a
heated campaign for re-election, but he
nesday afternoon last his mother-in-law
was killed in an automobile accident
near Marietta,
Cedartown Standard: "Hon. J. D.
Price—'Farmer Jim' —is serving his
first term as Commissioner of Agricul
ture, where he is making a record of
unsurpassed usefulness. The farmers
of Georgia are going to look to their
own interest, and will keep him in the
position where he is serving them so
well.” ^
Hon E. L. Hainey, candidate for re-
election to the office of Prison Commis
sioner, seems to be having easy sailing,
and deserves to. He has made a splen
did official, and should be continued in
the position in which he has rendered
such useful service to the State.
Will Wright is a clean man, and is
making a clean race.
Wright for Congress.
The War and the Price of Cotton!
Atlanta Constitution.
There’s no need for the South to be
alarmed. Cotton isn’t going to be a
drag. The farmer won’t have to "give
it away!”
The average price will he a paying
price, and every bale will be in demand.
Dig into the facts and there’« plenty of
sound reasons to inspire confidence.
We needed ships flying the American
ling to carry cotton and cotton goods
safely into foreign ports.
We needed means for financing early
cotton while conditions are still chaotic.
Congress is about to meet both these
needs in ample measure. The burden
of the cry of the pessimist is, “The
foreign countries can’t use this crop.”
Look at the facts:
Seventy-five per cent, of the labor in
cotton mills is made up of women, chil
dren and men not subject to draft. And
the ocean is open to safe navigation.
Will these mills close, with cotton in
reach, plenty of labor, and the nations
to be clothed and provided for?
Of course, their output will be de
creased, maybe cut in two, but any
such must be largely offset by the in
creased production of American mills.
There is where we come in! Don’t you
see?
Germany will be practically kept off
the seas. She supplies the heavy cot
ton goods (the kind that requires most
cotton in its manufacture) to South
America in overwhelming preponder
ance, and largely to Africa.
This business must be diverted to
American mills. There’s nowhere else
for it to go! Isn’t it simple?
American mills can run double shift,
with the markets of the wolrld wide
open, and can increase their consump
tion of raw cotton to a point that cun
easily maintain prices to the last sea
son’s level.
The chance of a century! And The
Constitution has been showing it every
dav for a week !
The American mills should develop
t rade that will last forever. The pre-
sent condition should result in an
enormous increase in Southern spindles.
It is certain to result in a greater
home market for raw cotton.
Be of good cheer! It’s nil right! If
the Southern farmers will sit tight, re
fuse to sacrifice their cotton until con
ditions are readjusted—and it won’t be
long-there’ll bo plenty and prosperity
for them in abundance!
Compliment Paid State Treasurer
Speer.
Cordele Humbler.
We are pleased to note the high com
pliment. paid our worthy State Treas
urer, Hon. W. J. Speer, by the legisla
tive committee appointed to investigate
the Treasury Department. Mr. Speer
has for a number of years given his ser
vices as State Treasurer, and it is with
out question that his record is one that
reflects credit on the State. The people
of Georgia should remember, in casting
their votes on Aug. 19, that there is
one faithful servant of the State who
should receive at their hands an over
whelming indorsement, and that Hon.
W. J. Speer should he elected State
Treasurer by one of the old-time Dem
ocratic majorities, thus evidencing the
faith the people have in a worthy and
efficient public servant. It would he
political folly to take from the State of
Georgia at this time, when true and
tried men are needed, this splendid offi
cial who has stood watchman at the
door of the Treasury for many years
past, and turn over the finances of the
State to untrained and inexperienced
hands, and that for purely political pur
poses. We hope to see Georgians rally
to Hon. W. J. Speer and make his elec
tion unanimous on Aug. It).

'Communicated.
Judge Nash R. Broyles For Court of
Appeals.
The election of Judge Nash R.
Broyles to the Court of Appeals seems
assured. The fame of Judge Broyles
as an impartial, able and courageous
administrator of the law is not confined
to Georgia, but has Bpread over the en
tire South.
He has been a blessing to the city of
Atlanta. For fifteen years he has
firmly and righteously enforced the law
in the capital of Georgia. His legal
ability is unquestioned.
Now that he seeks a wider field as a
Judge of the Court of Appeals, his fel
low-citizens of Georgia should show
their approval of hia faithful service by
casting their ballots for him in the
coming primary.
He richly deserves promotion, and
his election will show that the people
of Georgia believe in the enforcement
of the law and that they are opposed to
the trivial legal technicalities that so
often defeat justice in our courts.
Judge Broyles, more than any other
man in Georgia, stands for these vital
principles, and when in addition to all
this we remember his generous conduct
at the Macon convention two years
ago in withdrawing from the Court of
Appeals contest alter he had tied with
Judge Robt. Bottle in the primary, we
are assured that this time the people
of Georgia will award him the nomina
tion by an overwhelming majority.
It will be of interest to our readers
to know that Clark Lewis, an old New-
nan boy, is actively assisting Judge
Broyles in his campaign.
Hon. W. C. Wright at Buena Vista.
Marion County Patriot. 7th inat.
Hon. W. C. Wright, of Newnan,
spoke to an interested audience at the
court-house in Buena Vista Wednesday
morning at 11 o’clock, in the interest
of his candidacy for Congress from the
Fourth district.
Mr. J. O. Smith was elected chair
man of the meeting, and Col. Geo. P.
Munro, in a short speech, commended
the speaker to the audience.
Mr. Wright spoke for one hour and
ten minutes, reviewing Judge Adam
son’s record in CongresB. He gave
figures showing that the Judge has re
received as salary $107,500, and 20c. a
mile traveling expenses, since his first
election. He brought smiles to the
faces of his hearers by referring to the
stand taken by Adamson against Con
gressman Moses in 1896—i e., that six
years was long enough for anyone to
hold office.
Mr. Wright is a brilliant speaker and
made many friends while here. Indica
tions point to a splendid Wright victory
on Aug. 19. He spent Wednesday af
ternoon and Thursday morning visiting
Tazewell, Draneville, Brantley, and
other sections of the county.
Infection and Insect Bites Dangerous
Mosquitoes, flies and other insects,
which breed quickly in garbage pails,
ponds of stagnant water, barns, musty
places, etc., are carriers of disease.
Every time they bite you, they inject
poison into your system from which
some dread disease may result. Get a
bottle of Sloan's Liniment. It is anti
septic and a few drops will neutralize
the infection caused by insect bites or
rusty nails. Sloan’s Liniment disinfects
cuts, bruises and sores. You cannot
afford to be without it in vour home.
Money back if not satisfied. Only 25c

Woman and Child Drowned at Ford
Bowdon, Ga., Aug. 12.— Swollen
streams, due to torrential rains such as
have seldom before visited this section,
washed away two buggies late last
night, causing the death of Mrs. Wil
liam Moore and her young grandson
and nearly proving fatal to three others
who were swept away by the waters.
Mr. Moore, his wife, their little
grandson and another boy, son of a Mr.
Crawford, while returning in a buggy
from a camp-meeting at Burnell, drove
into a small stream known as ’Possum
branch, near their home. The vehicle
was in the middle of the stream when
it was overturned by the force of the
current and the four occupants were
thrown out. Mr. Moore succeeded in
rescuing the Crawford boy, who was
caught under the buggy, but his wife
and grandson were swept down the
stream. It was hours before their dead
bodies were recovered.
Other parties behind the Moores
drove back out of the branch barely in
time to escape the same fate.
Miss Olive Hearn, of Victory, was
nearly drowned Tuesday night when
she attempted to cross Garrett creek,
which was badly flooded and runnin
swiftly.

WILL SPEftK IN NEWNAN

AT lO A. M.
Also in Greenville at 1 p. m.
and in Luthersvilie at 4 P. M.
Mr. Anderson will address the voters of Coweta
in the interest of his candidacy
FOR GOVERNOR
He will tell you how Macon's candidate, Judge
Nat E. Harris, worked and voted to increase
Georgia’s legal rate of interest from 8 to 12 per
cent. He will tell how Judge Harris worked
and voted against Georgia farmers.
In the Legislature of 1882-83 Mr. Ray of Coweta, now living in
Atlanta, introduced a bill to protect the farmers of Georgia against
wholly worthless fertilizers, by permitting them, when the goods
were proven worthless, to plead failure of consideration. There was
no inspection law then in force to protect them, and they based
their hopes on this bill. Judge Harris voted twice against this bill;
first to adopt the adverse report of the committee, and then against
the bill itself. (See House Journal, 1882, Adjourned Session, Pages
263-264.)
