VACATION DAYS ARE OVER.
Today we are standing at the thres
hold of one of tho most important sensons
in all our varied experiences—the season
of school openings. ^ ■
Wo have had most ploasnnt and pifoiL
table vacations; parents have had right-
of-way with tholr children at home;
children have enjoyed ease and liberty
to the fullest extant; teachers'have ap
preciated their respite from tho trying
duties of the school-room, and been bene
fited thereby. We have had some of the
niqst wonderful nnd successful evangelis
tic meetings at our churches that we
ever witnessed.
Now, wo hnve come to the point of
leaving our summer diversions, and
reached tho eventful day of putting into
practice ttie beneficinl results of our va-
rational employments. jOur bodies and
minds are stronger and brighter bemuse
of the rest* and*Vecuperation. Parents
are anxious to see their children In toroid
again, for they realize what such an op
portunity means to them as well as to
to the child; teachers are growing eager
ta resume their duties, and the children
themselves are ready to line -up. for
work, for it means to them a training
and culture which will equip them for
good citizenship.
Come to tho opening of our school next
Monday morning, (Sopt. 6.) Prof. L.
H. Mills, of Richmond, Ky., is our prin
cipal, and we have a corps of five excel
lent assistants. All come highly recom
mended. Let parents, teachere and stu
dents come with united hearts* to love,
serve and sacrifice in behalf of our school,
fnd make tills thg best year in all de
partments in the history of the More-
:mtid-St. Charles institute.
Here is" a good tonic for the mainte
nance of a good school; First, native
fitfiess, which includes a sound mind, a
healthy body and a good character;
second, a thorough preparation of all
our faculties to do the best possible;
third, a sincere desire to get at our du
ties and work steadily and persistently
until we reach the goal; fourth, have
a purpose that never admits defeat. This
is a good tonic for parents, teachers, stu
dents and friends; so let’s all take a
good dose and be present and ready for
buhmess Monday morning. O. W. Taff.

Smith Men Use Falsehood
To Bolster Dying Campaign
Atlanta, Aug. 31.—In a desperate,
eleventh-hour effort to appeal to public
prejudice, Sountor Smith’s campaign
managers hnve scattered broadcast over
the State a report to the effect that Gov.
Dorsey had discharged . a white florist
named Grant and pur a negro iu his
place. ^
This, of course, is u falsehood out of
the whole cloth, and Senator Smith’s
managers know it. But, like the drown
ing man grasping at a straw, Uicy.will
stop at nothing te bolster up the fading
rlnitua of their dying candidate. •
The truth of the matter is, as stated
by T. E. Masseagale, Keeper of Public
Buildings and Grounds, that the posi
tion of florist was abolished on account
of wnr time economy. The State now
has no florist at alt. The negro referred
to is simply a porter in the executive
office, and one of his duties is to cut
the grass and pick up papers from the
grounds. As a result the State is saving
$900 a year. Here are the exact facts
ia the case, as stated by Mr. Massengale:
“Mr. Grant had been employed at the
Capitol for a number of years prior to
tlic time Gov. Dorsey came into office.
When the Governor assumed ids office
lie laid down certain rules by which his
Capitol employees should be governed.
Mr. Grant seemed to feel that Ids long
deeupancy of hia position made him
immune from these rules—and he did
not comply with them. The Governor
had me speak to Mr. Grant several times
ia reference to being late to his work,
and annj- from tho Capitol when wanted.
After keeping a record oa Mr. Grant, I
found that his services were unsatis
factory and so reported to the Gover
nor, who abolished the office of florist
and told me to notify Mr. Grant of that
fact- Mr. W. B. Wilson, engineer at the
Capitol, and Mr. R, B. Devors, assistant
superintendent, are both thoroughly fa
miliar with the fncts as above stated.
The duties of the negro referred to in
Mr. Grant’s card consist in being a por
ter in tho executive office, sweeping
floors, and keeping the grass cut and the
grounds clean. No florist is now era-
ployed at all. Since the abolishment 1>f
hia office the State has saved $900 per

Georgia’s Next
(/. S. Senator
HUGH M. DORSEY
This race is won.
Hugh M. Dorsey is going to be the next United States
Senator from Georgia.
Overwhelmingly favorable reports from every county
in every district in the State leave no doubt as to the re
sult.
The'evidence is piled up here in Dorsey’s headquar
ters in a daily mail so large that an extensive force of
stenographers can scarcely handle it.
Over 100 enthusiastic Hugh M. Dorsey Clubs have
been organized in as many counties all over Georgia.
The names of voters—many thousands of them—are
signed to these lists.
Hugh Dorsey is going to carry more than 100 counties
in the primary, including Fulton, his home county, and all
the other six vote counties in the State. •
The fight is won against Watsonism—won by Dorsey.
Senator Smith will be a poor third, in the race, and
will not even, poll as large a vote as in the Presidential
primary when* he was the last man in the running.
This is the natural result of Hoke Smith’s betrayal of
the Democracy of Georgia in the convention of May 18th,
when he combined with Watson in denouncing the Na
tional Democratic Administration, and attempting to stab
it in the back. / - '
Every report reaching our headquarters shows con
clusively that this is a contest between Dorsey and Wat
son, and that Hoke Smith has not even a remote chance of
figuring in the convention.
When Georgians go to the polls on September 8th,
they are going, to put their emphatic stamp of disapproval
on the Watson-Smith combination, and its assault upon
the platfonn and administration.
Georgians will not tolerate Parly assassination.
They will repudiate wobbling, straddling and turn-
coatism.
They are going to do it in the only possible way—by
electing Hugh M. Dorsey United States Senator.
DORSEY IS A SURE WINNER.
HUGH H. GORDON, JR., Manager,
Hugh M. Dorsey Campaign.
Headquarters, Kimball House, Atlanta, Ga.
To the Voters of
No man ever conducted a cleaner or
more high-toned campaign than I have
in my race for Solicitor-General. En
couraging reports from all over the cir
cuit indicate that the people appreciate
my method of campaigning.
- . . - - ... . • i
Although a younger man than my
opponent, the court records of this cir
cuit will show that I have had more ex
perience in the practice of law and
in the trial of cases before juries than
he has. '
' This race will be decided by popular
vote—and not by the county unit vote.
I respectfully call upon all my friends to
go to the polls and vote early, carry other
friends who may not be able to get there
otherwise, and make my majority as
strong as possible.
YQurs cordially,
WILLIAM V. ATKINSON
