GOVERNOR WALKER
ASKS CO-OPERATION
When informed of the announce
ment of the withdrawal of Honorable
H. H. Elders from the Governor's
race Governor Walker gave to the
press the following statement:
“I would be untrue to every worthy
sentiment if I were not gratfiied and
humbled by the practically unanimous
endorsement of my efforts by the peo
ple of the State, carrying with it a
new call to service for a term now
approximating three years. It is very
gratifying that during my administra
tion there has been aroused such a
general recognition of the vastness of
the undeveloped resources of the state
and such universal impulse toward its
' progressive development along all
i educational, agricultural and industri
al lines that practically all old politi—
i cal factional lines have been obliterat
■ ed. My only ambiton is to have a
: humble part in crystallizing this im
| pulse through cordial co-operation
of the press, through the women of
| the State and the people generally*
into a great progressive program for
better schools, better roads, and bet
ter health. I take this occasion to
remind the people that this program
however worthy, cannot and will not.
be realized so long as invisible prop
erty, comprising one half of the tax
able values of the state is bearing:
no part of the burdens necessarily in
cident to progressive development.
“I further remind them that what
ever may be the impulse of the peo
ple it will be fruitless if the legisla
tors they elect are not only patrioticr
in their purpose but progressive ii*
their vision. I serd grateful greetings,
to the most royal friends who ever
blessed a public servant. To these;
greetings I add an earnest personaf
appeal that they make their loyalty
complete by joining vigorously ii»
electing representatives and senators,
on this September 10th who- will co
operate with the administration in
its efforts to secure a fair distribu
tion of the burdens of government by
placing a just share of taxation on
the owners of intangible property
thus laying the foundation for the
building of a Greater Georgia. To
this end I here and now dedicate my
every thought and effort fJh the next
three years and I earnestly beg the
full co-operation of press and people.*'
REPRESENTATIVE POPE WILL
STAND FOR RE-ELECTION
Representative D. F. Pope author
izes the Messenger to state that he
will be in the race for re-elecion as
one of the Representatives from Walk
er county to the General Assembly,

noucement a little later. Mr. Pope

It
RESOLUTIONS
Resolutions adopted by Knights of
! the Ku Klux Klan on the death of
Klansmen C. W. Routt and J. W. Full
er.
It is with sadness and unfeigned
regret that we have heard of the pass
ing from earth to that Invisible Em
pire beyond the skies of tho.e two
worthy brothers and noble Knights of
our great order. We bow in solemn
awe and submission to the will of
Him, who holdeth human life in the
hollow of His hand, even to the King
of all Kings and the Supreme Archi
test of the Universe.
We knew them and loved them as
worthy Klansmen and their places are
gadly vacant in our Klaver and the
deliberations of our Kian Karc.
Therefore, be it resolved:
First, that we humbly bow in sub
mission to the will of Him who is the
.fudge of all, and Who doeth all things
Well.
i Second, That we shall miss them
from our gatherings in Klan Klare as
sembled, their advice and encourage
ment in all things noble and true, for
they were wont to be with us always
when their health and Providential
circumstances permitted.
Third, That we convey a copy of
these resolutions to the respective
families of these brethren.
Fourth, That a copy of same be
spread upon our minutes by the Kli
graff, also that same be printed in;
the columns of The Walker County
Messenger.”
Respectfully Submitted,
Committee.
IN MEMORY
The angel of death visited the
home of Mr and Mrs. W. L. Cherry
and took from them their darling lit
tle daughter, Dorothy. She was bom
Nov. 13, 1922 and died Jarv. 20, 1924.
Dorothy was not sick long. She was n
pleasant little baby and loved by all
who knew her.
Oh how sad to think dear Dorothy
has gone from us forever but God
knows best.
Weep not dear father and mother
for she, was a bud on earth and haa
been transplanted over in the para
dise of God. Dorothy has gone to be
with God and the bright angels of
Heaven.
We cannot call her back but we can
bo live as to meet her.
It is so hard to say, Thy will be
done but the Lord giveth and the
Ix>rd taketh away. She leaves a fath
er and mother, one brother and a host
of relatives and friends to mourn her
less. ..
•The funeral services were conduct
ed by Rev. B. H. Howard and her lit
tle body was tenderly laid to rest iu
the Trinity cemetery to wait the rea- .
urrection morn. . _ ... ,
A loved one from us is gone,
i A vpjae we lovetf is sttll, '
A place is vacant in our home
That never can be Billed.
