VOTE NOV. 4TH.
In n general election there is us
ually a light vote polled. In the
South which has always gone
Democratic in national elections,
the vote is usually exceedingly
light. In this year’s campaign ev
ery effort is lie : ng put forth to
break the solid South.
With the combination of Davis
and Bryan, the Democrats have a
clean, strong team, a team that
will win and that pledge them
selves to a policy of common hon
esty, progressive legislation of
which this country is in dire need.
The record of the Republican ad
miniatrat on the past three and
more years, permitting the Teapot
Dome, oil lease and veteran’s bu
reau steal if millions of the money
of the tax payers of this country,
should be such a stench in the nos
trils of ill self-respeccing people
ns to eliminate the Republicans’
chances in the coming election,
and we believe it will.
During the extravagance of the
world war aid the enormous ex
penditure of money under a Demo
cratic administration and under
the leadership of the world’s peer
less statesman, Woo.drow Wilson,
not one scintilla of scandal or steal
or misappropriiftion of the tax pay
ers money was found, ami the Re
publicans hunted down every trace
of such irregularities.
The plain thievery of the Repub
lican administration in a civilized
nation and Ohriutinn country is a
disgrace upon America, and the
Republican party, as long as there
is party government " tl-.vi coun
try, should pay the p
So in the light f these tacts, it
behooves every loyal Democrat to
not sit at home on November -Ith.,
but go to the polls and cast hi
balh*,. Tne w mie n should be arous
ed; this i. i Democratic year, and
)e us sh >w our colors and vote.
Here’s hoping And ’nip don't
pa*- up Atlanta.
Nven at that wo fall to see that
rial’s Vermont farmstead is sueh
nn attractive outfit.
The Republican party thinks
that one big steal merits another,
so they are running Coolidge.
l*Follette says Coolidge sat i.i
the cabinet and knew all about the
big steal and Unde Bob ought to
kwow.
The Chattanooga fair begin*
.Saturday. Attend, and then be
acre to come to your own county
fair Oct. 23-24
*
Is it nothing to you that several
-gaung men and young women in
Walker county cannot complete
their college education because of
feck of funds?
OCTOBER 23-24
In less than a month the Walker
county fair will be held. The fair
management is making prepara
tions for our best fair, but the
backbone of the fair is the exhibits.
The people in all sections of the
county are urged to plan their ex
hibits and to bring them here, so
that the people of this section may
see just what old Walker county
produces.
Aside from the farm products,
the won. n’s department should be
belter mis year than heretofore.
Our manufacturing plants should
also make exhibits and all inter
ests of the county should be on dis
play at the county fair.
The premium list has been sent,
out to every community and sec
tion of the county, and the com
plete list was published in the
Messenger a few month# ago. The
list is especially attractive with
cash prizes of sizeable amounts,
and is considered by far the best
balanced list ever announced in
the county before.
If you have not received your
copy of the premium list, write
county Agent, G. P. Saye, and he
will giadiy furnish you one by re
turn mail.
The fair presents a splendid op
portunity for the people of the
county to come together and mix
and mingle with each other, see
what is being produced, grown and
manufactured in the county, which
is educational and inspirational.
Bring your exhibits and come
with the whole family for the two
day fair Oct. 23-24.
Peach county is sticking its head
up again this year as a constitu
tional amendment to be voted on
in the November elections. Remem
ber she lost out two years ago, and
the people of the state should see
to it that it is snowed under by a
convincing majority. Too many
counties in Georgia now to swell
the tax burdens.
The same fellow who would in
dignantly resent the insinuation
that his child dosen’t know as
much as children in other sections,
is usually the same fellow who is
doing nothing for better schools,
whereby his child may have equal
opportunity with children of oth
er favorable sections.
From the manner in which the
giant steel industry of this country
is crying for protection one would
think it an infant—yet it is about
the biggest and strongest industry
in the country, only approximated
by the Republican STEAL indus
try.
About Nov. 4th the voters of this
country will realize that the Re
publican administration stole mil
lions in ths oil leases and veteran's
bureau, money from the tax payers
and will no longer stand for gov
ernment by thievery.
Here's hoping that more than 41)
per cent of the qualified voters of
this country will vote in the na
tional election Nov. 4th. It is a
travesty on a democracy when less
t .in fitt.\ per cent of the qualified
voters cast their ballots.
Around the consolidated school
should group the community’s best
activities. Each consolidated school
district should hold a community
or district fair each year—the in
spiration would be well-worth
while.
If the Democrats ever had an
opportunity to elect a President,
that opportunity presents itself
now, but that opportunity will not
be so rosy unless the Democrats
turn out on November 4th and
VOTE.
Los- legis'ati r. nr.d u better
quality is a great need in this
state. Vote for the biennial sessions
amendment, it will help start a
movement in the right direction.

Whal You Need Is a Good
Tonic For the Kidneys”
The kidneys are the scavengers and
they work day ar.d night in separat
ing" and the poisons from the blood.
Their signals of distress are easily >
recognized and include such symp
toms as lumbago, backache, depres
sions, drowsiness, irritability, head- ■
aches, dizziness, rheumatic twinges, ;
dropsy.
People are realizing more and more
every day that the kidneys, just as j
do the bowels, need to be flushed |
occasionally. The kidneys are an
eliminative organ and are constantly
working, separating the poisons :
from the blood. Under this con
tinual and perpetual action they are
apt to congest, and then _ trouble
starts. Uric acid backs up into the ;
system, causing rheumatism, neural- I
gia, dropsy and many other serious ]
disturbances. It means that you are j
a victim of uric acid poisoning. Then
ask your druggist for Anuric (anti ;
uric acid) and you will very soon be
come one of hundreds who have been
helped by this powerful enemy to
uric acid. .
Dr. Pierce manufactures Anuric
(kidney-backache) tablets and you
can obtain a trial pkg. by enclosing
10c and addressing Dr. Pierce, In
valids’ Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y.
