GAINESVILLE,-GA., WEDNESDAY, JULY 1% 1922.
NO. 47.
yOEMALLY ANNOUNCES FOR
CONGRESS
Congressman Thomas M; Boll’, ia this
issue of The News, v formally makes an-,
nouncemcnt •of his candidacy to sue-
teed himself. His friends had* hoped
that he would be unopposed this time
and be given one term without having
to make a fight for it'. However, Dr.
j y, Crawford of Stephens county, is
said to be a candidate against Mr. Bell,
in fact he has for several months been
making an active canvass of the dis :
t r iet. Mr. Bell’s friends are confident,
however, that regardless of opposition
he will be overwhelmingly returned as
the Representative of the Ninth,dis
trict. Congressman Bell will probably
reach home sometime during the com
ing week inasmuch as the House has
adjourned until the 15th of August. It
may be that he will visit the various
counties of the district so that his con
stituents may have personal conferences
with him regarding such matters as
thev are interested in, , and also that
he may have the opportunity of visit
ing among them, which he so much likes
to do .hut which he was prevented .from
doing to any great extent for several
years due to the fact that Congress re
mains in almost continuous session.
P

tor J. E. Paimour’s candidacy for Rail:
road Commissioner:

ville, hp announced as a candidate for

He is well qualified for the position and
is a mighty fine gentleman in addition,

the people of Georgia could not find a
bettor man to succeed Mr, Candler,”
SERIOUS AUTO ACCIDENT
Dr. W. R, Hardin, s head , of the dental
division of the U. S. vetcrans’ bureau,
Atlanta, ip in Downey’s hospital with
legs bot h broken in two places, and a j
fractured hip, and R. W. Lamb,'“disburs
ing officer of the bureau, "also of At
lanta, is suffering with a fractured
shoulder and cuts about the head, as a
result of an automobile accident Satur
day afternoon at the overheard bridge |
over the Southern railway at the coun
ty farm home, three miles south of
Gainesville, when their car ran into the
railing and dashed to the railroad tracks
about 30 feet below. Mrs. Lamb and
Mrs. Hardin were severely shaken up,
but appear to have sustained no se-
ripus injuries.
The accident occurred at 5 o'clock
and as soon as other members of the
party could drive to the city an am
bulance Wias immediately dispatched,
and the seriously injured brought here
for modkal attention, The entire party
in three cars en route from Atlanta to
Tallulah Falls for the week-end consist
ed of Dr. Hardin and his wife, Mr.
Lamb and his wife, occupants of the
ill-fated car; Mr. and Mrs. M. Bryson,
Mr. and Mrs.’ Dr P. Lyon, Mr. and v Mrs'.
A. L. Williams and John M. Slaton, Jr.,
occupiod the other two cars. All live
in. Atlanta. . !
When the automobile dashed through
the' Tailing, it turned over twice before
landing on the Southern’s northbound
track. It is regarded miraculous that
Mrs. Hardin and Mrs. Lamb escaped
with only slight injuries.
The accident .attracted wide attention
and a hundred'or more cars filled-with
people visited the scene ,pf the' wreck
late Saturday. The automobile- • was
badly wrecked and was soon removed
from the fqilroad tracks and carried to
the county farm home.

KEEP HEALTH OFFICER IN HALL.
‘It is understood an effort will be made at tile ap
proaching session of the Grand Jury of Sail county to
secure a recommenda tion discontinuing the County Health
Officer. One grand jury has already made such a recom
mendation, and a similar recommendation from this suc
cessive grand jury will- result in" a discontinuance of this
valuable work. We trust the grand jury will make no
such recotamendation but, on the ether hand, will insist
that the work be continued became the work already
acccomplished has meant much for the people of the city
and county, and the work now under way of ridding the
city and county of venereal diseases should by no means
be discontinued because of its fat-reaching importance
to present and future generations.'
As to the personnel of the Health Officer himself we
have nothing to do, except to say, in simple justice to
Dr. B. D.'Blackwelder, that we believe he has faithfully,
fearlessly and copscientipully discharged his duties, diffi
cult as they are. Regardless, however, as to whether he
is retained or not, the work ought not to be discontiuned.
We believe the Grand Jury will make a most serious
mistake if it recommends the discontinuance of the work
under the Ellis Health Law. Let’s kee^ it up; it’s too
important to be abandoned at this time.

The News takes pleasure in presenting
the essay in full:
When the early savages first learned
that twc> working together could lift a
stone which, one mfl^ alone could scarce

' and now in this day and time co-opera
tion is the means of unlimited success
: in many forms. By co-operation the
rural districts and the cities of-Geor
gia not only will make prosperous dis
tricts and cities but will enrich v each

'of the most important features. Go-
: operative producing possibly would
1 come first, for an article must be pro
duced before it can be bought. The
rural districts should produce the pro-

We hope that the boys and thei*
friends wiil.be pleased with the site. It
is situated in a section of the tows,
where the monument can be -cared for
and where the grounds can be kept
and beautified.
