To the Voters of the Heventh Cou- Kressioual District: I hereby announce myself as a candi date for representative from the Seventh Congressional district subject to the election to be held in November of tne present year. If elected I pledtre my ovary effort to wards the material development of this district through governmental aid._ I so'icit yoar consideration of my candidacy and will earnestly ask for vonr support.- Walter Attenuate Next election Tuesday, Nov. >). You must admit that it takes a roal good county to have two fairs. You have to pay tribute to Trans Hebool district for pure progressive ness. Rome has captured the state reun ion of Confederate veterans for 11)11. Akerman is a good man, but he is disputing the right-of way with the Democratic steam roller. There iB a great demand for Wal ker county farms. People are not alow to realize a good thing. Tennessee is entitled to the sym pathy of Georgians—their guber natorial race is still undecided. Is that a Democratic break-down in Tennessee for which Bob Taylor is fiddling and calling the figures? Looks like the dog owners will have to take the medicine the legis lature prescribed and pay that dollar dog tax. One of the political wondera of the age is the Colossus of Roosevelt. And it is no wonder that it straddles the tariff. Old Walker is on the up-grade. And the census figures will show our progressive prosperity car is a good hill climber. Anyway, the weatherman did his best to make amends for the rough deal he gave the farmers in the spring and summer. Many of our citizens Lavs to spend a year or so in granoletexas to real ize that the honey-pond and fritter tree can quickest be found here in Walker. Lest we forget—there's the bailiffs election coming on. There's class to this election, thinks the Griffin News, for it says: “Bailiffs can raise name b-ll in a community than all the governors" The sttiement is officially made tnat the individual owning the great est number of dogs in Walker coun ty is a negro, who returned five dogs for taxation. His dog tax is, there fore, $5. His poll tax is sl, and his property tax lbo, so yon can see how the dog tax bits him. • Oue impatient La Fayette citizen has joyfully calculated that there is but one more dark-of- the moon to live through until there will be lights to guide his homeward foot steps. Dozens of Georgia counties com peting for prizes at the state fair in Macon this week. Walker is not among the oumi>er, but we have the eminently pleasing consciousness that this county would have won first prize had we entered the li ts. A Courageous Statesman Wanted (Macon Telegraph) One of the greatest needs of this country is a statesman with sufficient courage to stand up in congress and attack the gigantic pension swindle Mr. Roosevelt is popularly supposed to have courage to spare. Let him prove it by denouncing this outrage ous fraud which indirectly places an unjust tax on every individual Am I erieau. The republican party is the chief sinner in this matter, but the democratic party is equally cowardly and more recreant to its plain duty, as the party of opposition, to attack the iofamy and demand reform. Iu limeof profound civil peacj, says a writer in the World’s Work 1 for October, "full half a ceutury af ter its existence was lust threatened, the United States government is lay-, ing upon every man, woman and child in the land a tax of $2 a year, to pay military pensions. It is’ handing over to a particular class (consisting of a million men and women once for a short time direct- j ly or indirectly connected with the army) a sum which would in one 1 year pay the expenses of the entire] military and naval establishments of Japan for three years and a half;' which, another year, would buy the Argentine wheat crop and leave enough money to pay, another year, the bills of the German army—the biggest iu the world; which, auotber year, would pay the sum total of the cost of the government of Bslgiu m —the most patriarchal in the world." It stands to reason that forty-five years after Ihe war the greater part of this huge sum goes to unworthy persons. It has been shown again and again that deserters, shirkers aDd imposters of every description are on the rolls, but nothing is done Democrats and republicans alike are afraid to move a single step toward reform. The thing is a tyranny as well as a fraud. Corn Contest For Boys The corn contest which have been carried on in the many Btates have, proven of great educational value to the boys. The prizes offered have 1 added zest to the endeavor to maka tne best showing and produce the beat £orn, but the knowledge and experience gained are of far greater! importance than any prize. Last year there was issued in Arkansas a circular on the effect of the corn con tests upon the boys participating It says: The boy who haa engaged in a * contest of bis kitd, whether success-1 fully or not, has gained practical training of far reacbiog value and lasting significance. He has been brought iu touch with the gieat natural laws on one band and with modern science on the other. He has by bis own efforts demonstrated the relation between the two. He has been led to work and think, to ap ply knowledge to the most practical affairs of life. By his own efforts he has made a crop and dignified himself by accomplishment. He has established in his own mind for all time the relation cf theory and practice. Good Roads In Dade (From the Dade County Times) The suggestion that the ordinary levy a tax sufficient to raise $4,000 each year for the purpose of build ing a pike road through our county is indeed a wise «ne and appeals favorably to every thinking citizen in Dade county. A levy of $4,000 will not oppress any taxpayer, how ever poor he may be; and if expend ed in judicioua manner will in a few years, build a thoroughfare in our county, and will be paid for when completed. Rumor has it that the Chattanooga Southern is planniug all kinds of improvements. Here's hoping. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has become famous for its cures of coughs, colds, croup and influenza Try it when in need. It contains no harmful substance and always gives prompt relief.
