WALKER COUNTY __ MESSENGER Established 1877 E. P. HALL. JR. I’ublisher and Editor Official Newspaper of the County SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year , SI.OO Si* M oaths 60 ' “Three Months 40 I Foreign Advertising Representative , THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCI ATION Entered at the I.aFayette, Ga., postolfire for transmission through the mails as second class matter. 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. f* 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.

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; nilL W. L..
