COUNTY CAMPAIGN
FOR CARSWELL
For the first time in Wilkinson
County we have a candidate for Gov
ernor. When people began to look
about over this State for a strong
man to get out and lead the fight for
progress, development and to down a
political machine they turned to Wil
kinson County for the man. A can
didate was wanted who had the abili
ty. courage of his convictions, one
who had lived a clean, honorable life
and who had experience in questions
of State to champion the cause of s he
people. That man selected was Hon.
Geo. 11. Carswell. *
The issue in this race is a fight on
the machine that has been dominat
ing Georgia for years and keeping the
state backward and hindering pro
gress. Mr. Holder represents the
old kind of politics. He wants to ।
keep the machine going, to uphold
the patronage that does not serve the ।
people, If you belong to the 1
machine you get your part but as a
plain ordinary citizen who wants •
civic and public devlopement the i
machine offers you nothing but an 1
empty premize- Mr. Holder has '
promised the people an allotment of
800 miles over the state Highway
System- Yet it has been proved and i
is without a doubt shown there is i
only 51 miles to be given away. Yet i
citizens of this State bad ridden far i
and near, hoping to come back to
tWeir respective counties all tell the ;
THE BULLETIN
IRWINTON, WILKINSON COUNTY, GA., FRIDAY, AUG 6. 1926
quarters in the Kimball House that
encouraging reports are coming in
from every section of the state.
Hundreds of letters are poyring into
the offices, with the mail increasing
.daily.
“Before the primary is over every
county in the state will know about
George Caps well and what he stands
, for,” said Sam A. Nunn, his campaign
, manager. “Not only is Mr, Carswell
going to speak in as many places as
possible, but his friends are already
active themselves. They are making
engagements on their own initiative
, in some counties to speak to groups
of voters.
Carswell voters throughout the
[ state were even more enthusiastic
, over campaign prospects following
the selection last wee 1 ' of Mr Nunn as
campaign manager, reports indicate.
. Hundreds of people have written Mr
. Carswell expressing approval. Mr
• Nunn has been practicing law in Per
ry since 1912, and is also president
of the Houston Banking Company.
For four years he was president of
t the Methodist League Conrerence
and during the war he served in sev
. eral active engagements- He first
■ sprang into state wide prominence
through his political ability in con
. ducting Houston County’s campaign
in its fight with Peach countv, which
[ was later amicably settled by mutual
. agreement. He attracted considera
. ble attention in this work.
Associated with Mr Nunn in this
, work are Malcom D. Ainsworth, son
[ of Bishop Wm. N. Ainsworth, of
, Macon. He has held executive posi
( tions on three Georgia newspapers
and was formerly manager of the Ma
(Oontinued on this page)
tax payers that the road had been
granted. But instead the decisions
have been held up until ‘ after the
election”. Abraham Lincoln said
that We cannot fool all of the people
all of the time. Holder may fool
them in this campaign but the
chances he will not. The tide has
turned. County after county is
swinging in the Carswell column.
On Sept, the Bth, Wilkinson County
will furnish the next Governor of
Georgi*. Mr. Watson went before
the people and said for this country
let’s have no League of Nations. He
swept the State. Mr. Carswell says
let’s have no , machine controlled
State, give every boy and girl an
equal chance for an education and let
the people say how they want their
roads built. Thai’s the issue- The
people will make the decision. And
we may rest assured that they will
never decide for machine politics.
What happened to J. J. Brown at
Mcßae yesterday People from
twenty counties asked him to quit the
race. Why? Because they are tired
of the Agricultural Department not
functioning for the farmer and only
for politics.
This is Wilkinson County’s oppor
tunity to tell the people of Georgia
that we are on the job lor our
candidate. The campaign manager
Sam A. Nunn says that the most
effective work is to be done over the
State from here. The plan is this:
we want every man and woman to
write their friends and relatives over
the State to vote and work for Mr.
Carswell. Committees at Irwinton,
Gordon, Toomsboro, Danville and
Allentown will furnish the letters.
If you have the names of friends and
relatives you want written to the com
mittees will glad furnish you the
letters and envlopes. All that is
necessary is to mail them. Also we
want to get banners for automobiles
so citizens from this county can go

Department of Agriculture
To the Editor of The Telegraph:
No doubt the readers of your paper
will be interested in the strtling facts
about the State Agricultur 1 Depart
ment, which I have obtained through
carrespondence with departments of
other States. I invite anyone to in
spect my files as to the accuracy of
the statements that I make.
‘‘l have found that a number of the
states have no oil and fertilizer in
spectors, but 1 find that Georgia has
191 oi inspectors and 52 fertilizer in
spectors. making a total of 243 such
inspectors. I find that there are
number of other useless employes of
the department, making a total of 350
useless employes. •
“The department of agriculture
cost of the State $32,000 a year ten
years ago. Now it is costing the
State $5000,000. or 16 times as much
as ten years ago.
“I would like to ask the business
men and farmers, if their cost of do
ing busines has increased at sneh a
rate? I would like to ask, is the
Agriculture Department worth six
teerr titnes more to you to lay, than
ten years ago^ No wonder Georgia
is dead broke, while our sister States
are making great progress
‘ Georgians, isn't it • time for us to
wreck this great and powerful
political and grafting machine? -
“Sunday .Aug. 8,1 will give you
the law regulating the Agricultural
Department, and how this machine
has been built up.

MACON IS INTERESTING
MACON, Ga. - -Of probably note
interest than any city in the State of
of Georgi i, is Macon. located six
miles from the geographical center.
On cursorv examination, Macon
appears to present an ordinary front,
except for its unusually wide streets,
in several places divided by parks
and maksng for ease in driving, and
parking.
However, delving into the spurs
of this city of 70,000 hospitable
persons, one finds that it is the
location of the oldest women's oJlege
in the world; that here are a group of
Indian Mounds said bv authorities to
be among the most interesting in
North America; that the dome or, the
new and beautiful municipal audi
torium (and. bv the way, a trip to
Maeou is not complete without a visit
to this structure) is the largest
eop per-covered dome in the world.
In addition to healthful miners!
wells. Tuft Springs is said to prjv.dj
the purest water in the world. Even
the. city water is exceptionally pure,
many electricians using it in storage
batteries without bad effects. Even
its manufacturing plants, turning
Georgia raw mtterials into products
for shipment all over the world are
found interesting by many visitors,
while the lake parks and first class
theaters provide amusement for those
so inclined.
Macon was the birthplace of that
world-famous jwet- -Sidney Lanier- -
and his boyhood home still stands on
High Sireet, a mecca for literary
visitors. The city and Bibb Couutv
have an exceptional education system,
in addition to the college facilities,
there being 46 grammar schools,
while all high school students are
transported by free bus to the modern
Bovs, and Girls, Lanier High Schools
giving every child in the county an
equal educational advantage.
