The members of the County Demo< cratic Executive Committee are hereby called to meet at the court-house in Ncnnan on Saturday, Feb. 12, at 11 a. m., to fix a date and prescribe rules for the primary election for county officers, and to give attention to such other matters as may oeme before the committee. Jas. E. Brown, Chairman. PRESIDENT WILSON'S CAMPAIGN FOR PREPAREDNESS. One of throe things is true about the speechmaking campaign President Wil son has been conducting in the Middle West. He may bo playing to the gal lery; he may be obsessed with an idea that is utterly without reason; or he is in possession of facts and in a position to know onough to make him feel all the anxiety he expresses in his speeches. The first of these suppositions is not at all reasonable. The policy the Pres ident is advocating as to an increase of our army and navy is not the declared policy of the Democratic party. Since this is so, it is not at all probablo that Mr. Wilson would bo so eager for the course ho pleads for for political or partisan reasons. S As to the second, President Wilson is not a man to be easily led ofT by a fad or a fancy. He iB eminently sane and cool-headed. It is therefore reasonable to believe that he knowB more about the real sit uation than does the public generally, or even Congress itself. Without giv ing absolute adhesion to the course he is advocating, one would do well to give all the weight such statements as he makes are entitled to, in view of his high office and charactor. That Presiddbt Wilson should feel called upon to go beforo the people with his patriotic plea for "prepared ness” ia a reflection upon Congress, some of the members of which are har assing him in many ways that deserve criticism. That Republicans, for purely partisan purposes, should lend them selves to this cabal is not surprising; but for Democratic members to join this yelping crew in its efforts to em barrass and belittle the Administration is enough to excite tho disgust of all true Americans, whatever their politi cal leanings may be. The policy ad vocated by President Wilson is not a political one, nor by any method of distortion can it be construed as a par ty measure. It is simply an appeal to the patriotism of the nation, and the enthusiasm with which he has been re ceived at all points on his speechmaking tour shows that the people are behind him. MIDWAY. The singing at the school-house Saturday night was well attended. It was not only an event of social pleasure, but the singing was fine. The new books purchased recently contain some splendid compositions, and our singers are good as any community affords. After the singing a number of four-yard lots of canvas belonging to the school were sold to the highest bidder. Much interest was shown, and about $4 was realised from the sale. This will be used for school improvements. Tho bouse has been remodeled and painted, and some new desks put in. There are other needed improvements which the progressive patrons hope to make. With the start already made there is no reason why they should not have a standard school within the next year or so. Much praise is due those who bsve responded so readily to every call, both with work and money. Mr. C. A. Wiggins spent Monday and Tuesday in Newnan. Mrs. Sussn Kidd, accompanied by her grandsons, William and Crantlll Kidd, apent Saturday night and Sunday with her daughter, Mrs. Berry Davis, at Dresden. Miss Eva Jones and J. M. Kidd spent the week-end in Whitesburg. Mr. and Mrs, Wade Luckie, of Buck eye, visited Mrs. Lula Kidd Sunday. Mr. Lynn Kidd, of Corinth, spent Sunday with his mother here. Mr. D. L. Hardigreo is having his bouse painted. Mr. Will Kidd waB in Newnan Tues day. Several from this community visited the Georgia exhibit train in Newnan last week. Feb. 2d.
