Fairs are good things; this Bank believes in them. The social
feature, the gathering of the people for a day’s recreation during the
busy harvest season is worth much; friendly competition for prizes
for the best stock and the best farm products is worth more. Be sure tea
to bring an exhibit and try to win one or more of the prizes that have
been offered. JnJ
It has been a pleasure and a privilege for this Bank to contribute H
to the premium lists. We want to see the agricultural interests of
Walker prosper and grow greater every year. We are always ready H
to help any way we can for this end.
While attending the fair, come to see us; we want to renew old 9^
friendships; make new ones. We are still at our old location on the fcjf
meast side of the square, but not for long. Workmen are now busy re- |H
modelling the Farias building for us. We will soon be in our new
Rfl home, where we will have much better facilities for serving our pa- [W
teal trons. We are growing, thanks to the patronage of the people of Wal- »H
USJ ker, patronago which we appreciate and have tried and will always try, IS
ISI to merit. tea
S By-the-way, to our farmer friends who deposit their cotton money |W
ti with us this fall, we have a handsome and durable leather coin bag to H
Ire given away. Kvery farmer should have one.

The keen ears of Wert Garmany,
son of Sheriff Garmany, were all
that prevented the escape of several
prisoners at the county jail Wednes
day night.
While locking up the prisoners
on the lower floor Wednesday night
Wert heard what he thought was a
saw being used to cut the bars of
the cage upstairs.
Marshal Mashburn was telephoned
for and with several men went to
Wert’s aid. Investigation revealed
that the prisoners had made a saw
from a steel piece torn from one of
the cots and were sawing the over
head bars.
From now on the prisoners will
have to sleep on the hard floor.

TO THE WHITE VOTERS
YOU ARE URGED NOT TO OVER
LOOK DUTY,
But Go to tho Polls on TUESDAY,
NOVEMBER 8, and Vots For
HON. GORDON LEE, tho
Nomlnoo of Whito
Primary.
To the White Voters of the Sev
enth Congressional District:
On the 23rd of August last you
cast your ballot for the man you
desired to represent you in the
Sixty-second Congress. You did
this under rules that admitted all
the white voters to an equal voice
in the selection of public officials,
no matter what their political
views were or had been. More
than three-fourths of the qualifiec
white voters of the district voted
in that primary. Your choice for
Congressman fell upon our repre
sentative, the Hon. Gordon Lee.
When we have gone to the
trouble and expense of holding a
white primary, its results should
nos be disturbed except for the
gravest reasons. An election that
admits all white men, irrespective
of their political faith, cannot be
objected to as partisan. The only
persons who can reasonably ob
ject to this white primary method
of selecting our officers are the
negroes and those who are wil
ling to affiliate with them politi
cally.
A cause or a campaign that
seeks to enlist the negro vote,
which we have been at so much
pains to eliminate, and use it to
defeat the will of our white pri
mary should be sternly discour
aged by all good citizens. While
the negro registration is light at
present, we know from experience
what it will become if his vote
should acquire a market value.
Despite these and many other
good reasons why our white pri
mary nomination should be sus
tained, we have a candidate in the
field against us, placed there by
influences beyond the bounds of
the district, and against the judg
ment and wishes of a large per
centage of his own party who
participated with us in this white
primary. A few federal office
holders, secretly assembled and
representing no ofte but them
selves and their confederates,
have put forward one of their
number against the nominee of
the white primary. Their only
hope of success, of course, lies in
our being lulled into a sense of se
curity by the heavy vote in our
primary and failing to turn out
and vote again in the regular elec
tion on November Bth.
No man who approves ot the
white primary method of naming
our officials and is opposed to re
turning to the old and turbulent
and corrupting methods that pre
vailed before it was adopted
should fail to go to the polls and
express his sentiments by his bal
lot on November Bth. Those
white voters who prefer to have
the negro as an equal co-worker
in the selection of our officials
will also be able, on that occasion,
to express their views by their
ballots.
Let us all turn out on Tues
day, the Bth of November, and
settle this question so decisively
that it will not again disturb us.

Puts Your Kidneys Right
Kidney weakness is the danger signal for Rheumatism and Bright's
Disease—the advance guard of a persistent malady.
You certainly cannot afford to trifle with the slightest kidney ail
ment —systematic treatment sbould begin with the first
symptoms of stress in the region of the kidneys.
The pain may be slight at first—may give you the impression that
it requires no special attention—wi'l no doubt leave in a
day or so, but—
Do not overlook the fact that the pain, however slight, is the
forerunner of further trouble.
The bladder, liver, kidneys and urinary tract shoula be thorough
ly cleansed of impurities and restored to a state of normal
activity.
Nyal's Stone Root Compound will do this and more than that it
wiil cleanse the blood of Uric Acid —the chief causative factor
in Rheumatism.
Now that. von know the best remedy do not neglect any kidney
trouble—do not allow the disease to become chronic.
If after a fair trial, Nval’s Stone Root Compound fails to benefit
yon, your money will be refunded —cheerfully.
Fifty Cents and One Dollar.
We expect to be here in bnslness a good many years. The only
way we can do it is by treating everybody right. That’s our policy.
