Not a Month Left in Which to Register.
Have you prepared to cast your ballot in the primaries and the elec
tions ol this t eat? if not you only have about three weeks more in which
to qualify and there are lots of folk who w ant to vote a little later in the
year. .
Get your name on 'he registry list before the fifth of April, for it
will enable you to vote as you desire when the primaries come around. It
j in sort ot a sovereign duty you owe your state and your county to be a voter
and help put the right man in office.
There is no use in having bitterness in a campaign, but there ts need
for consideration and intelligent disposition ot issues and selection ol
candidates. Upon each individual voter rests a share of responsibility and
n > man should shirk his measure of work in this respect.
You should not kick a little later on if you wake up and find that
you have not registered, because you cannot vote don’t blame anybody,
lor the ignorance of the law excuses none and the new law provides that you
must be registered six months before the general state election.
We take pleasure in calling the attention ot the voters of Baldwin
countv to this important matter and we trust that everybody will be sure
to register within the next three weeks.

“On Decoration Day Let Us Plant
A Flower on Every Soldier’s Grave”
As a rule The News prints only the
news that will be of local and general
interest to its readers. Below we give
an Associated Press item from New
Orleans that ought to be intensely in
teresting to every man, woman and
child in Baldwin county:
Before his departure from New Or
leans Thursday night for Houston, Tex
as. L. K. Van riant, commander-in
chief of the Grand Army of The Re
public, was given a rousing ovation by
Confedrate organizations here.
"Conna lea,” declared Gen. Van
Sant,, "never braver men wore uniform
than the southern soldiers."
The old veterans broke forth into a
spontaneous "rebel yel!" which was fol
lowed with a stirring eulogy of the Con
federate soldier by the Gland Army
commander. Commander J. A. Brook
shire, of the Douisiana-Mississippi divis
ion of the Grand A-my of the Republc
supplemented: “On decoration day, let
us plant a flower on every soldier’s
grave, not because he wore the blue or
the gray, but because he was an Am
erican soldier.”

Latimer, an ex-slave, by white |>all

Now comes Thomas 1). Murphy, old
,r. ago a» well as in point of service
m l in Ids classy column "Talking it
Over,” ho says:
it is understood in New York that
Mr William C. McAdoo is to become
president of the Inter Borough Rapid
Transit Co. succeeding Mr, Theodore
B. Shouts.
It was Mr. McAdoo who financed and
built the Hudson tunnels. He is an
annual visitor to Augusta and has many
acquaintances and friends here.
Mr. McAdoo is a Georgian. He was
reared in Msrriettu and is intimately
known in that section of the State.
This thing lias gone far enough. It
detracts from the history and the honor
and glory of grand old Milledgeville
and as custodians of the peonle's right
we resent it. We believe it was error
of the head and not of the heart, but
in this case, too, Win. G. McAdoo,

born in this city and not in Marietta.
So there!
WE MUST HAVE A CLEAN CITV.
Milledgeville needs cleaning up with
the spring time. The grass is growing
green, covering up the scars of time on
the hills and in the valleys. Everything
is beautiful except where the ruthless
hand of man has torn nature's power
awav. •***
With the change thus wrought there
is a noticeable lack of beauty in the
business streets of town. Tho paper is
scattered everywhere, the boxes are
piled outin anysortof fashion,destroying
much of the national beauty of the city.
Let’s get to gether and observe the
law on this score. Do it because you
want to co-operate and make* a better
city and a prettier city.
The city bar provided disinfectants
for every home and there is no reason
why we shouldn't have u beautiful and
healthy city.

Mr J. E. Stembridge Cut
For County Commissioner
Unusual interest will be centered
around the announcement of Mr. J. E
Stembridge for County Commissioner,
which is made in today's News. The
announcement of Mr. Stembridge was
made at the solic tationof many friends,
though he refrains from using this
time-worn story in his announcement.
Mr. Stembridge enjoys a marked
degree of esteem and admiration of the
people of Baldwin county and the city
of Milledgeville, both as a business
man and as a citiren and there is no
doubt but that he will stand well up
in the front when the votes are counted
in the primary.
The man who does things is the nmn
who has determined not to take his

To the Voters of the Sixth DiatHcG
I am a candidate for renominatkin to the office
of Representative n» Congress from the Sixth
District m the primary election, which, under the
law. will baheld neat August.
1 believe that my record aa a Representative, of
which I invite the ebawat scrutiny, justifies me in
saying that I have discharged every duty ami
obligation to the who have honored me
with that high and responsible office. During the
entire period of my service in the House. 1 have
been fared by a republican majority, strongly
adverse in sentiment ami policy to tho best in-
tereals of the pe >ple of my section, but my record
here will demonstrate that in every word I have
spoken and in every vote 1 have cast. 1 have had
an eye single to the honor and welfare of the
people I represent. Whether my duty as a Rep
resentative has called me to must the insiduous
attempts that are U-ing constantly made to under
mind t'ie sovereign dignity of the States, to op.
pose the enertakchment* of orgsnixed monopoly
upon the rights ami imbalance of the people, or to
defend the institutions ami glorious traditions of
our own section. 1 have responded to that call with
all the f iron and vigor my being. Am the Rep
resentative of a free people. I have denounced
tyranny in whatever form it has appeared, and
act.vely participated in the movement to wrest
the control of the House from the arrogant,
despotism that has been erected m the people**
forum by ti e S|>eaker a nl his Committee on
Rules. My reconi in this and all others matters
will moat conclusively show that 1 have never on
any occasion faltered or hesitated in the course of
duty dictated by perfect loyalty to my constituents
and party.
Believing that my long experience will enable
me to serve more efficiently the people of the
District in the next House, which, from all indi
cations. will **e Democratic, and with grateful
appreciation of their support and confidence in
the peat. I aak a re«o mi nation at the hands of my
constituency.
