AN ACT OF CONGRESS PASSED AUG. 24, 1912:
All editorial or Other reading matter published in
any newspaper, magazine or periodical for the pub
lication ot which money or other valuable consider
ation is paid, accepted or promised shall be plainly
marked "Advertisement." Any editor or publisher
printing editorial or other reading matter for which
compensation is paid, accepted or promised without
so marking the satna shall upon conviction in aivy
court having Jurisdiction be fined not less than fifty
dollars <$50) nor more than five hundred dollars
(»5t0). /
! From what we have been able to learn and the expres
sions gathered from those who have given study to the
matter, it Is quite generally conceded that less than five per
! cent of our farmers have cashed in on the very splendid
I
arket established by our commissioners. No one seems
to know very much about the county affairs, though we are
told that our commissioners have made it a practice oi
paying nrour.d twenty-live cents per bushel more for corn
hen was necessary. It is figured that should tho cour.t
onst nie four theuapnd bushels of corn p r year only on>
! thousand dollars more than necessary is expended during
a twelve months period for this particular product am
I therefore should place no serious burden upon tho other
' I'.nety-flv® per cent of the farmers who have not been so
j favord by paying the difference. Furthermore, admitting
I that five per cent of our farmers have been royally trentei
! dnee our present board of county commissioners went into
| office, it i3 estimated that the remaining ninety-five per
i -ent will be reached within a period of thirty-eight years,
| if ever. Perhaps this wonld be good dope for a figure-head
L
i to use in making an appeal for re-electi<yi—most politicians

Mllledgevilie tho first part of August, three men from each
of the precincts In the county, twenty-four mea all told.| k ‘‘l ,t l| P b >' the 8tatu highway department are in the worst
were asked to make a thorough canviss of the county as
possible in an endeavor to arrive at a conclusion as to such
men as might be qualified to fill,the places on the board of
c< unty commissioners, rich w.hose character, Integrity and
fhlr-niindedncss might prove acceptable and appeal to all
the people.
Out of the tjvenjy-four nun selected to arrive at the
conclusion as to the logical men to a:sk to become cuudi
deles for county commissioners, three of tho number reside
in Mllledgevilie wliilo twenty-one reside in-the rurul sec
tion.-! of the county. While it Is an unquestioned fact that
more than clgbty-tive per cent of the men chosen to go
about the matter of drafting the candidates are tillers of
the soil, we- are forced to undergo the disgust of having
come to us reports to the effect some peanut politicians are
endeavoring to create the Impression amongst thj good
farmers of this county that the names of thofte men named
to make the race for county commissioners Were selected
by men residing iu %tllledgevllle. . Any man. and wq- make
exceptions, who attended the mass meeting at the time the
names of the candidates chosen were read out kno.ws full
well that there Is not a word of truth contained in such u
statement and the action of those who are spreading such
propaganda are hacked up by eitheV ignorance or an out
right desire to vary from the/facts in the case. We would
(like to .express ourselves more mildly In reference to tho
gorogoir.g, but thero is no chance to do so. So much trela-
live to the manner In which some of our candidates have
•catered the race for county commissioner.
1 Fow quite a number of year s we have hoard of people
.tracing for the time to come whoa cl.izetu wouicl go ul
iin search of worthy mpn to till our offic s'tnstoad of th.
many centuries old Idea of taking heed from those who ns
self-appointed candidates seek our offices. The Very fact
that a number of citizens of Baldwin county have gone otu
overtoil above board fnd express. J the belief that the
three men named at that mass meeting held in August
would be acceptable to the pople of Baldwin county as
commissioners of roads and revenues is quite conclusive
evidence that we have an office seokiug holders. The men
called upon to make the race for county commissioners are
well known In Baldwin county as successful business mer.
possessing such character > as to be placed above reproach.
However, it is not the purpose of anyone to contend that
another has not all the right in the world to go about seek
ing this or any other office on their own accord, for jve
have in days gone by known and heard cf a,!l sorts of folk
tasking political honors and the rights of no one in doing
so have ever been questioned. As a matter of fact, dear
citizen, you have the right -to cast your ballot for anyone
you might choose and should you see fit to your own can
didate there isnt any law in this land that can prevent you
from so casting your ballot.
