Wiikinson County Democratic Club
. To the voters of Wilkinson county: ‘
It looks now as if the Démocrats will win the election next
Tuesday: That the days of Ben Davis and his postoffice selling are
numbered: That the fool cotton crop estimates of the Republican
Commissioner of Agriculture, Jardine, which both this§ year and
last depressed the cotton prices, will cease: That such grafting
Republicans will be kicked out of office and the loyal southern
Democrats will again receive the appointments. That Hoover will
not have another opportunity to fix the price of 42c cotton at 15
cents as he did 10 years ago.
AL SMITH IS WINNING NEW YORK AND THE NEW
ENGLAND STATES.
The outraged western farmers ‘are determined that the
Democrats shall have a chance to remedy the distressing situation
among the farmers., and are sweeping the corn and wheat belts
for our party. a5
Senator Norris at the head of the Progressive Republicans
have come in a body into the Democratic camp. ;
The Solid South remembering the four years of war forced
upon her noble sons in the Sixties by the traditional enemy of the
South, the Republican party: Remembering the terrible days of
the Reconstruction when the Republicans placed black heels on
white necks: remembering that ever since the Democrats of
the North combined with the bemocrats of the South and freed
the South of this bondage, the Republican party has always heen
trying to replace these black heels on the white necks of the
South, will never vote for a man who promises to torce the in
famous Dyer Bill upon us. Thousands are refusing to vote at
all, rather than vote for Hoover.
lam asking you as loyal southerners to help bring about a
change in the oppression that is already upon us and the more
terrible conditions that would result with the passage of the Dyer
Bill., by casting your vote for the Smith and Robinson ticket.

bountiful dinner was served a
bush of the whitest roses was in
profuse bloom, the emblem of
purity, and it seemed much to
please this couple to tell and to
recount to their children and
grand children that this same
rose bush was in fult bléom on
tnat, their marriage day of 50
years ago. 3
Mr. J. E. McCullars, who had

when they were married, was
present on this anniversary, also

present on this oceasion.
Everything surrounding this
aged couple on tnis day seemed
and was rich in sentiment and
history,even the house in which
they have lived for 50 years, it
was standing and in use in 1801
before there was a county by the
name of Wilkinson.

When it comes to a question of whether Georgia will share in
the prosperity that is marching southward, all good Georgians
should lay aside their prejudices and join in an effort to have this
state share in the general progress. The one impression that
people get of a state or section, which decides their choice of a
residence perhaps more than any other, is the roads. Automo
biles, as economists of time have come out of the class of luxury
and entered the class of necessity.
An everwhelming majority of automobile owners who are
mempers of the Georgia State Automobile Association are in
favor of the higbway bond issue proposed by the special committee
of the association of County Commissioners of Georgia, in the
first returns received from a questionnaire sent out this week by
the association to its members.
The questionnaire, which was mailed the middle of the week,
brought 336 replies up to Saturdsy.
