GET A FORD
“if you’re going to buy a car,
Get a Ford;
Then if you would travel far,
Get aboard;
North or south or east or west,
She can ramble with the best,
Always equal to the test;
Get a Ford.
She'll just cost you half the price;
Get a Ford;
And she’s every bit as nice;
Get a Ford;
If you want to save expense,
Don't sit longer on the fence;
Show your good common sense;
Get a Ford.
If you want to be in style,
Get a Ford;
Costs you less to run a mile,
In a Ford.
Save the half your little pile,
Make your wife and children smile,
Either one is well worth while;
Get a Ford.
Don’t you know a big machine,
(Get a Ford)
Takes more oil and gasoline?
Get a Ford.
If a small machine goes wrong
You can mend it for a song,
Neither does it take so long;
Get a Ford.
Ford repairs are very cheap;
Get a Ford;
Parts of others are so steep,
Can’t afford;
Broken parts of other cars
Cost you 'way up in the stars,
High as Juniper or Mars;
Get a Ford.
Men who know are saying loud,
Get a Ford;
Join the pleasure-loving crowd;
Get on board;
Settle now within your mind
That you’ll buy no other kind;
To your interest don’t be blind;
Get a Ford.”

All teachers whose licenses expire
this year must take the examination.

Hugh Dorsey’s Candidacy.
Buchanan Tribune.
Some are attacking Hugh Dorsey on
the ground that he does not possess the
qualifications necessary for the making
of a good Governor, declaring that un
til the Frank case Dorsey was un
known in the State, except in his im
mediate locality. But you will notice
that all these statements emanate from
those who would oppose the Atlanta
solicitor under any and all circum
stances, with no regard as to his qual-
lifications. Even if the Frank case did
make Dorsey popular, why shot-id that
be used agaist him? Some one had to
conduct the prosecution, Dorsey, being
the Solicitor-General of the Atlanta
circuit, within whose domain the dirty
crime was committed, was the sworn
defender of the State’s laws, and it be
came his duty to see that the guilty
man was convicted. Dorsey’s manage
ment of the case caused him to be
famed, not only in this State, but
throughout the United States. He
matched his ability against some of the
country’s most noted legal talent—and
he won upon every point. Of course,
merely the fact that he won his case
gives him no more call for gubernato
rial honors than any other lawyer who
has won a case, but the famous case was
the means of bringing out all that was
in the brilliant young solicitor. He was
shown to be competent under any
and all circumstances; hence, when
suggestions for Governor began to ap
pear, the people, remembering that in
the young Atlanta solicitor the State
had an absolutely dependable man for
the place, hiB name began to be sug
gested here and there, until from all
sections of the State have come thous
ands of solicitations for the young man
to make the race.
And here’s a pointer: If the Frank
caBe is injected into the campaign,
watch who holds the hyperdermic. It
will not be in the hands of Dorsey and
his friends, but the opposition forces
will use it—in fact, they are already
doing so.

the United States of over 30,000 inhab

Best Thing for a Bilious Attack.
“On account of my confinement in the
printing office I have for years been a
chronic sufferer from indigestion and
liver trouble. A few weeks ago I had
an attack that was so severe that I was
not able to go to the case for two days.
Failing to get any relief from any
other treatment, I took three of
Chamberlain’s Tablets and the next
day I felt like a new man," writes H.
C. Bailey, Editor Carolina News,

We hope you read last week’s an
nouncement of the change in the sub
scription price, tojtake effect June 1,
and understand the reasons which make
it necessary. We have as intelligent a
class of subscribers as are to be found
anywhere, and feel sure that they will
appreciate the fact that at present
prices a paper cannot be gotten out for
$1. The newspaper ia one of the most
potent factors in the upbuilding of any
county, and to do its work properly it
must be run on a businoas basis, with
sufficient profit for the editor to make
a decent living for his family. We are
confident that our subscribers will
ing to concede this, and indorse our
efforts to keep the paper up to the Stan*
dard. Remember, you can rCheW ftt
the old price till June 1; after that date'
it will be $1.50 to everybody. —Douglas
