Two weeks and our county fair!
Nov. 4th is hardly four weeks
off. Show your loyalty to your
country and government by going
to the polls and vote.
At the fairs we have attended,
■we have notived that the graded
products sometimes not so large as
other farm products, win the
prizes. _
'Another worthy victory for
Walker county—The stock-judging
team won first prize again at Chat
.tanooga. Here’s hoping they win in
Atlanta this week.

Fall, Forbes, Doheny, Daugher
ty and Denby are Republican
names that will go down in history
in the greatest steal any country
has any record of.

' Os the ten millions of people in
this country who listen in on the
radio, a larger per cent are listen
ing in on the world series of base
ball than on any other event of the
.year.
This is the football season and
.also the cotton speculator has a
broad smile. There is much in com
mon with football and the consum
ers cotton in the hands of the
speculator.
The best way to combat the mail
order house to let the people
know what you have together with
your prices and quality. Advertis
ing pays, or the mail order houses
wouldn’t use so much space.

Taxation, national, state and
municipal, reached the enormous
total of nearly 8 billion in 1023, al
most one billion more than ire 1022
and 5 1-2 billion more than in 1013,
and yet the world war has been
over six years.
With the names of all nominees
from the President down to the
lowest county office, together with
• eight amendments ,the voters will
•doubtless be presented with the
longest ticket in our history on
Nov. 4th. , , .
One of the hindrances to Geor
gia's growth is the mania for the
creation of new counties. We have
lt>o at present, and we are called
.on to vote on an amendment to cre
ate another one—Peach county.
Let's stop it and vote against this
movement for increasing the bur
. .den of taxation.
The kind of citizens of the future
depends on what we are doing for
the children now. How shall they
know unless we give them the ad
vantages now? If you will think of
this a little you will go to work for
•better schools in your community.
' FAITH MUST HE
. RESTORED
The basis of credit is confidence.
The best government is one in
which the people have faith .De
stroy confidence and lawlessness
and crime follow, crooked paths
are trodden and the people perish.
In this government today, in the
light of the past three years of big
steal on the part of men who have
been placed in high places of trust,
there is a lack of faith. Men are
suspicious, and to restore order out
business chaos; to bring back a res
pect for law, to establish confi
dence in our government here and
abroad, leaders must be selected
who are honest and who are cap
able of public trust.
Honest government is what
America needs and before we can
make much progress and command
the respect of ourselves and the
nations abroad, confidence in our
free institutions, in our laws, in
our government must be restored.
We ane ruled by party govern
ment and parties are responsible
for the acts of their leaders. They
cannot escape it, and with this
same order in power how can con
fidence be restored ?
If the people were aroused in
this country as to just what had
been stolen the past three years,
they would not hesitate to cast
their ballots for a change, and be
fore November 4th they will be
made known and aroused. The
leaven is worknig and under Davis’
leadership the people will rally
around the standards of honest
government.
THE FUTURE BRIGHT
The future of this section of
Georgia and particularly Walker
«
county is bright. The reaction from
the past few years has set in and
an era of prosperity and business
activity is predicted upon a scale
unprecedented before.
Agriculture will come back and
with manufacturing facilities at
our command to offer to capital, a.
real awakening will follow. The in
terest in good roads, good schools,
churches, cheap electric power,
ideal climate and organized bodies
making bids for new industries,
the eastern capitalists who are
looking to the South as fields to
plant industries, will be attracted
to our borders.
The past few years have been
hard years on all business but con
ditions are changing and the fu
ture holds great things for us in
this county if we but prepare our
selves for the big opportunities.
GETTING IN SHAPE
It is the duty and privilege of
the people of Walker county to
support their own county fair by
displaying their farm and home
exhibits, industrial and manufac
tured products, and by attending
in person. The enlarged plans for
the fair this fall augur the best
fair ever held in the county. Much
interest is being taken by commu
nities heretofore indifferent, and
there seems to be a feeling of real
county consciousness in the mat
ter. ;
Rossville is doing the splendid
thing in making a complete exhib
it. Their interest.is deep and sin
cere, and a splendid exhibit will be
displayed. Other communities will
do the same thing and indications
are for a really worth while county
fair. lit *•
Let us make our fair the vital in
stitution it should be in the life of
our county.
• it
The states that have biennial
sessions of the legislature would
not think of going back to the an
nual sessions again. Among the a
mendments to be voted on Nov. i
in this state is the biennial session
measure.
The Chattanooga and Rome
fairs are over. The Atlanta fair is
on now, but the biggest of them all
will be the Walker county fair Oct.
23-24. don’t forget that.

ANNOUNCEMENT
To the Voters of Walker County:.
I offer myself a candidate for tfis
office of Tax Collector of this county
and da so by the adviaa of
of g r>oi men who have told me they j
desired it. I have been told by hun
dreds of the county’s beat people tharq
since the Primary in March was con-|
ducted in away very unfair, by one ■)
man perhaps, registerings hundreds on ™
the day of the election and permitting
them to vote and sending word to
other precincts directing, the same ac
tion there (though not obeyed outside)
| permitting one or more to vote under
t'venty-oue years old, that they did
not feel bound. This has come to me
from a reliable source, and since my
! friends have signified that such ac
tion, .being unfair and undemocratic
people do not feel bound, to foster a'
wrong, I have been asked.to continue!
my race for Tax Collector. It has |
aLvays heretofore been trie rule, if
not the law to close the registration
books a specified time before the pri
mary, to. make up a list and abide by
it—that all may alike he governed,
but: to register them on the morning
of. the. election when no one has time
nor. opportunity to challenge any
vote‘or voter is manifestly unfair and
unjust ami is not in keeping with the
principles bequeathed to us by our
i founders and forefathers of this Gov
ernment. I need not discuss these fea
tures at length since most, every fair
voter knftws the things that prevailed
jin. the primary in March-. Had it been
-conducted, in fairness, L would not
1 have continued my race- but no one
man. has a right to register hundreds
on. the election day and. then permit
the vote to follow in the face of all
law, and. previous rule, it .is, unfair and
unjust. If I am right upon, principle i
then Lam only asking that justice be ,
done-
To Every Voter In Walker County: 1
I am offering myself as a candidate
for the office of Tax Collector of
Walker County and ask the vote of
every, man and woman. in. the county, i 1
If you favor me with the vote of elec-' i
tiou. L shall do my hest. to attend the |
duties of the office with fair and im
partial conduct. Most.of you know me! !
and know what my fitness is and if!
qualified I feel sure, that you will I
favor me with your vote- None will I
appreciate your votes more than I;
