IRECORD OF HARDWICK IN SEN
ATE RIDDLED BY WALKER.
Atlanta .lournnl.
The official record of Thoit. W. Hard-
•wick ns United States Sonntor was the
target of Clifford Walkor, hia opponent
for Governor, in a statement issued Tliurs-
■day.
In Ids statement Mr. Walker asserts
that Mr. Hardwick, irrespective of ball-
•vifinal opinion on matters of politics, is
unworthy to be Governor If for no other
- reason than that ho made the race in
tho first primary on a deliberate misrep
resentation of facts. He declares that
' Mr. Hardwick won ninny votes because
the voters believed that lie hnd opposed
tho esplonaito liill when It cnino before
tho Semite during Mr. Hardwick's intm
bership of that body, Borne two years
ngo.
As a limiter of recorded fact, says Mr.
Walker, the official vote on that bill, ns
npiienrs from tho Congressional Record,
shows that Mr. Hardwick voted for tho
espiomiffo bill, lining one of sixty Sena
tors voting “aye” against twelve who
voted ‘ 1 no. ’'
Regardless of anyone’h personal opin'-
ion of tho propriety of that bill, Mr.
Walker assorts, it Is certain that Mr.
Hardwick has nllowed the impression that
be voted against it to bccoitio general
throughout tho State and has largely
based Ids campaign on that pretense.
Any man who would thus take advantage
•of a false position, doclnros Mr. Walker,
cannot be trusted with tho highest office
In tho gift of the voters of tho State.
Mr. Walker’s statement follows in full:
’’Hinco tho dnto of tho first primnry
'I hnvo licen exceedingly busy in confer
ences with friends and in nrrnuging my
organisation for tho socond race, I have
been gratified by tho romnrknble (low of
letters which hnvo como to my litnd-
qunrturs from practically nvory county
in the State, nastirlng mo of tho whole-
lieacted support of the loynl Democratic
vote. Tho former supporters of Mr. Hoi-
-dor, 1)otweon whom and myself there
• Dover was any difforonco of viowB, rep
resenting as wo do tho saino loyal school
of thought, aro coining to my help al
most unanimously.
“This fncl, when it is rocall.ul that
tho combined Walker and Holder tote
on Sopt. 8 was moro than 35,000 greater
than the Hardwick voto, being a clear
majority in 105 oountlos, is what causes
mo to feel so stiro of succoss on Oct. 0.
If my frlonds ovor tho State will keop
• up tho good work they aro now doing
there can lie no doubt about tho result.
And thin I know they will do.
“This majority of .'15,000 lias already
-spoken convincingly of Georgia’s lcpu
dintion of Hnrdwickism. Tho people can
not bo confused ns to Issues, they cannot
bo argued into forgetting the official
record, which stands today In blnck m il
while for all to rontl.
“Without a trace of personal animus
Ity, 1 hnvo eoitlluoll mysolf during .the
race to opening up Mr. Hardwick’s offi
cial record ns a Hemitor for tho pooplo
to see. Thorn can bo no debate on this
record. It is written in imperishable ink,
and not all tho nlnlblo-wittod oratorical
■Uroworks in tho world can oxpungo it.
“In tho first place, It Is a known
fact to every voter in Georgia that one
of tho main planks in tho platform on.
-which Mr. Hardwick based his plea for
votes on Sept. 8 wns tho boliof that lie
had vigorously opposed tho espionage
bill—a bill which, whether rightly or
wrongly, many Georgians believe to have
boon an invasion of their right of free
speech, free press and free assembly.
“As a matter of fact, the official
recorded vote of the Sonato nt Washing
ton shows that Mr. Hardwick, contrnry
to opposing this bill, actually voted for
It. This cannot bo argued away, cannot
be. denied or disputed. It is a simple
matter of recorded fact, open to public
view and inspection. (See Congressional
Record for Knb. 20, 1917, pngc 'IfillO.)
“And yet, in his public statement, pub
lished just prior to the first primary,
Mr. Hardwick says: ‘I opposed the es
pionage law. I am proud of it. it in
sulted tho traditions and endangered the
liberties of free people. It was enacted
to padlock tho tongues of honest Ameri
cans—to stifio the voice of fenrlcHS and
honest criticism—to chain the thoughts,
cower tho spirit and intimidate the souls
of American citizens. It is tho proudest
memory of my life that I hnd the privil
ege in tho Senate of opposing it—and tho
object of tho contest I ain now making
in Georgia is to help restore and regain
tho nnciont rights and liberties of tho
people, with which it interfered and
which nt one time it threatened to per
manently destroy. ’
“Anil nil tho time Mr. Hardwick knew
that ho voted for that very bill I
“Secondly, it is evident to the most
cursory inspection that, while a Senator
nt Washington, Mr. Hardwick wan al
ways on tho side of tho big-monoy in
terests, regardless of the rights or bene
fits of tho funner or tho laboring man and
tho public generally.
“ Whutover tho cause, it Is a fact that
in ovory issuo which involved largo finan
cial interests coming before tho Senate
during Ids incumbency of office, Senator
Hardwick wns invariably to bo fouuil on
tho side of big monoy, vigorously work
ing anil speaking and lobbying for their
benefit.
Examples of this fact aro -many,
First, to mind, wns tho parcel post bill
a bill which hns been of greater benefit
to tho farmer than any other single piece
of nationnl legislation enacted in years.
Tho overwhelming majority of both Dem
ocrats and Republicans in tho Sonnto wns
for this bill. It was opposed only by
tho rnilronds anil express companies, for
reasons which nro ovidont. It cost only
one-sixth as much to send a package by
parcel poBt ns by express. And Senator
Hardwick aligned himsolf with tho rail-
rondtnnd express companies and fought
tho mil to IRb utmost ability.
‘ ‘ Then como tlio nitratos fertilizer bill.
This bill was for tho purposo of lowering
tho price of fertilizer for furmors—par
ticularly Southern farmers. Yet cx‘Son-
ntor Hardwick, when that bill camo be
fore tho Sunnte, aligned himself with tho
forces who fought it.
“Then there is tho shipping bill—on
that bill Senator Hardwick aligned him
solf with tho big money interests behind
tho shipowners’ opposition.
Other cases could bo referred to in
almost endless succession. But spaco
would , not ponnit, and besides, everybody
knows thorn. I
On one point, however, must reit
eration bo used.
Hardwick nctod tho part of a misera
ble Ingrato when, juBt a few short yeurs
ago, ho wns asked to aid in securing
justico for TIiob. E. ‘Watson, thon facing
trial in the Federal Courts and threatened
with removal to a distant State for trial
boforo a jury of prejudiced strangers.
At that time Hardwick stated, ‘I would
be personally pleased If they would seo
to it that ho is drawn and quartered.’
The ingratitude of such language is viv
idly realized when it is Tcmemberod that
it was Mr. WatBOn’s friendship which
made Mr. Hardwick a Congressman and
gave him his chance to become a Sena
tor.
“Thoughtful peoplo will seo a possi
ble motive for Mr. Hardwick’s support
of tho espionage bill, when this language
about Mr. Watson is recalled, uttered a
short while before that bill came up, and
wlion it in remembered that it was under
the function of that bill which Mr. Hard
wick helped to create that Mr, Watson’s
paper, The Joffersohian, was denied the
use of tho United States mails.
“Tho record of Thos. W. Hardwick
is too blnck with the shadow of tho big
moneyed interests, too changeable in re
gard to iiis friendships, and too closely
linked with Ludwig MartenB and other
Bolshevik propaganda disseminators to
pass tlie scrutiny of tho thoughtful voters
of this State, even though lie does try
to rldo into offico on tho coat-tail of the
man who, just n fow short years ago, ho
would lmvo been ‘pleased to see drawn
and quartered, ’ ”
Put Ear to Odd Uses.
Burmese men and women delight In
ear ornaments. The lohh of the ear
la bored with a hole of astonishing
size, and In it various articles are
worn—pieces of wood, jewels, or rolls
of solid gold or silver. When no or
naments are In the ears, the men often
put their cigars, or any other small
article In frequent use, through them,
and the women use the holes for bou
quet holders.
Baby's Batteries.
Ruth often helped her mother look
after baby brother. One morning her
mother told her to go and listen out
side the bedroom door to see If broth
er was crying. “Why don’t you want
him to cry?" naked Ruth. “Are you
afraid he’ll run his batteries down?”
Killed by Peashooter.
"Shot to death with a peashooter,"
was the verdict of the coroner’s jury
Investigating the demise of Mrs. Jes-
lie Archer In London, England. It
was found that she ruptured the aorta
when the vegetable, shot from a boy’s
irtlllery, hit her In the face.

The Service Situation
l
Telephone service should be adequate, effi
cient and dependable; sufficient In quantity,
satisfactory In quality and furnished without
Interruption.
To abort a cold

plications take

Adequate service Is dependent upon adequate
facilities.

i
Efficient service Is dependent Upon a suffi
cient number of trained employees to maintain
and operate the facilities.
Dependable service le dep indent upon both
adequate facilities and trained forces.
The facilities are paid for with the money In
vested In the business. Trained forces are
paid with the money paid to the Company by
the public for the service furnished.
In no other way can these essential requi
sites of service be had. The needed facilities
are never paid for out of the earnings of thle
Company, and-the employees are never paid
cut of tho capital of the Company.
Subsequent itatemente will show what the
Company has done to meet Its obligations to
furnish both faollltleV and forces.
Everyone knows that this Company's sendee
has been dependable. Throughout the war and
In spite of strikes and the most abnormal con
ditions ever known, our service was furnished
without Interruption. While the service now
Is not adequate to meet the unprecedented de
mand, due to causes which will be given later,
the facta show that the Company Is now fur
nishing a far greater quantity of service than
ever before.
The following figure* show the service fur
nished within tiie State of Georgia:
1919 . ,
1920
(5 mo.) . . 6,661 8,403 3,158
During 1919 the net gain was 242 per cent
greater than the average gain for the four
previous years. If the rate of net gain during
the first five months of 1920 is maintained
•throughout the year, the 1920 gain will be 210
per cent greater than the normal average an
nual gain. H
The average number of oalls made from tha
exchange stations has greatly increased, so
that the Company is now furnishing several
hundred thousands more exchange messages,
from the eame number of telephones, than ever
before.
