TWICE.A-WEEE VOLUME 53. 3D PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE IN STATEPRIMARY Atlanta, Ga.—New interest was added to the presidential campaign in Georgia Saturday when avowed folowers of the late Thomas E. Watson informed the Democratic state executive committee that they will support neither illiam G. Mc- Adoo nor Senator Oscar Underwood, but will place a third candidate in the field. Although no announce ment to that effect has been made, it is reported that the third entry probably will be Senator James Reed o’ Missouri. The primary was set for March 19, wit a state conven tion in Atlanta, April 28. There was a sharp division in the ranks of tte state committee over the date for holding the statewide presidential preference primary, af ter charges were made that the Mc- Adoo supp rters were endeavoring to rush the primary through before other candidates have a chance to make a campaign. Motions to set the primary for April 23 and April 30 were defeated by votes of 21 to 19 and 23 to 20, it benig necessary on the first ballot for Assistant Secretary Gardner to cast his vote in order to show a quorum voting. Primary Rules Adopted. The lesolution fixing te date of the primary and convention, provid ed that a committee of seven be appointed to arrange details; that the county executive committees should meet on the day following the primary and count the vote; that the state executive committee should assemble in Atlanta April 12 to declare ths result in each county and the state; that the candidate re eeiving the plurality vote in each county name delegates to the state eenventieu iu Atlanta April 23; and that th.i cadidste receiving the largest county unit vot* name the delegates to the national convention in New York June 24, each county beig allowed two delegates for each representative in the legislature. The entrance fee was fixexd at SBOO and the entries will close March 4. People in Fair Way Toward Living Down Reputation for Squander ing Money—Women Best Savers Atlanta, Ga., January 17. —Are southerners becoming more thrifty? This question is being asked in At lanta papers of thrift week which is to be observed from the 17th to the 23rd throughout the country. In the flush times following the world war the answer was “no.” Four years of ups and downs in prosperity seem to have brought with them another story of the habits of the people in squandering or taking care of their money. The latest reports received by Atlanta bankers from the savings banks of the country show total deposits of over seventeen billions, or 47 per cent of the total deposits in all banks. Deposits in Atlanta banks are steadily increasing and are larger than ever before. This is the state ment of John K. Ottley, president of the Fourth National bank of At lanta, and other leading bankers of the south. The Fourth National bank, a recognized leader among southern banks, shows a remark able increase in its savings deposits within the last year. Prodical Natures Changing. The people of the south and the 1 rest of the country, for that mat-! ter, have not lived down the reputa tion of being the most prodical in the world in spending, but, as point ed out by bankers here, they are in a fair way to do so. They are sav ing part of the earnings, buying in surance, investing in corporation stocks, building homes. In other words, an increasing number of people are fortifying themselves against the day when their earning power will decline. The, hard saved dollars which bulk so large in savings fund re ports and bank deposits are where they are because the women of the country have put them there, often against the will of their husbands, in the opinion of the head of the wo men’s department of one of the At lanta banks. The average man, it is asserted, is a much swifter spender than a woman, and despite the jokes of the paragraphers and comic ar tists, do not throw away money on innumerable hats and gowns. The average housewife in the south, financial experts claim, has a very high appreciation of the value of money and how hard it is for her husband to earn it. It is shown that the women are not only sLiewd jr ~i\ “T IT iHE EM S-IiERA LB BRAND HAS BILL CHANGE PUNS EXTRA LEVIES Washington.—A bill providing that a taxpayer shall not have to pay an extra assessment fixed by the bureau of interna! revenue un til the case has finally been settled has been introduced in the house by Representative Brand, of Georgia. As the law now stands, if an extra assessment is made, the taxpayer must pay it in advance, with the on ly recourse of filing a claim for re imbursement later. FrFequentiy, it as been found that te extra assess ment fixed by the government i* too large. Representative Brand’s bill would remove the portion of thep resent law requiring advance payment, and provide that the government ac cept a bond from the taxpayer, pay able to the government. “In many cases," Brand said, in commenting on his bill, “it works a hardship to make this cash payment because it takes that much money out of te taxpayer’s business which is needed to carry it on successfully. Sometimes the taxpayer hasn’t the money, and it is difficult to bor row it.” The board of tax appeals, set up under the Mellon tax plan to hear claims of taxpayers, would be re quired to sit in the state capitals to consider appeals under an amend ment to tis provision of the law pre sented by Representative Crisp, of Georgia, and adopted by the ways and means committee. Representa tive Crisp thinks the capital of each state would be the most convenient point for taxpayers in the state. The provision in the law did notd eaig nate the seat of meeting for the board of appeals, but provided that the board ox - some section of it sit in different sections of the country to hear appeals. Inmnit Gymnasium at Riverside. Contracts have been placed for what is said to ha. the largest .pre paratory-school gynjnasium hi the south and one of the largest in the United States at Riverside Military academy at Gainesville, Ga., ac cording to reports received here. It is expected that the structure will be completed by April Ist. Unusual interest is now being taken in athletics by the cadets at Riverside and the ‘varsity basket ball team is said to be one of the strongest in the south, reports state.

Highway developers and road ex perts here have endorsed the pro posal of the League of American Pen Women to place markers at the sides of roads crossing famous streams informing the public as to the name of the body of water ahead. As pointed out, a great many of the rivers of the country, small as well as large ones, are of high his torical interest. They have served for periods as frontiers. They were used by explorers, missionaries, trappers, traders and innumerable settlers as highways. The turning point of several not able baltles was upon the banks of streams, it is asserted. Rivers have appealed to poets and caught the fancy of artists. It is often a mat ter of regret to the automobile tour ist, it is stated, that he has crossed a stream, whose name is familiar to him, and he had not known it at the time. It has been the practice of most of the makers of road maps to leave out the names of streams, just as often they ignore the existence of railroads, autolsts claim. Rivers and creeks are definite land-marks, if they can be so called, it is de clared. They give, according to some autoists, a much better sense of location to the traveler than “red schoolhouse on the left” or “cross - roads, keep straight through.” A bridge should be just as useful to the motorist, in a dis j trict strange to him as is a bench mark to a surveyor. LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, MONDAY, JANUARY 21, 1923. STATE NOW HAS CAL.

Any farmer who wishes to secure his supply at 12 cents per pound' should see either Mr. Clower or my self at once. It will bo delivered the* latter part o fFebruary.

If you vat a supply at the above price send in your order at once and expect to take it whether it goes down or up. * A. G. ROBISON, County Agent. MRS.

Robinson, who has so acceptably filled the office of Ordinary, announces as a candidate to succed himself to this important position. Judge Robinson is one of the most accomodating officers in the coun ty, and looks well after the matters entrusted to his charge. Every estate that is wound up, as well as the Orphans who have prop erty rights, must go to this Court to have their affairs administered, and it takes a capablep erson to look after the same. In addition to thia each pensioner in the county draws his money through the Ordinary's Office.

NORCROSS NEWS. Norcross, Ga., Jan. 16.—The Pri mary—We are not calling up this subject -with personal" motives, however, County Executive Com mittees all about are acting. Doubt less no office will go begging for want of at least ONE candidate— notwithstanding only one has cast his hat in the ring for County Com missioner at thep resent writing (three to elect). So, since the ball is rolling already, your Correspond ent suggests that the Chairman take up the matter of calling the com mittee together to transact such bus iness as naturally comes before them in election years and while there is very little farm work going on. We make no suggestion a 3 to date of either the meeting or the primary, knownig our efficient Chairman is well posted on existing conditions, so leave the matter of the call for his experienced consideration, even though we are a member and Ex- Chairman. Speaking of candidates, we noted the very-well I won’t say exactly flattering, but god picture of a Gwinnett county raised boy’s pic ture in last Sunday’s Atlanta Jour nal, carrying his announcement for sheriff in Fulton county’s approach ing primary. Two days later, the Voice of the South, that covers Dix ie like the dejv, said Mr. Plennie Miner had reebnsidered, owing to the short time left for campaigning, therefore would not be in the race for Sheriff. Plenum's young yet and the experience cqming to him in the next two years will tie on more friends and better equip him for the plum he seeks.

When we form the habit of crit icising other* we fix in our own minds an attribute that tends to our and our own defat. We cannot w#x the things We desire hr this way. No man can rise to success by criticising others. Neither can he win happiness in this way. We can not evade the law of reaction. This rebound come back to you and makes you pay for your folly. To be happy and successful in life we must bie on good terms with our fellow men, and to be on good terms with them we must be likeable. People do not like the critic, the fault-find er. You cannot help people by crit icising them nor will they help you if you have a fault finding nature. Husbands and wives often have the habit of criticising each other. It may be their aim to make each other better in this way but they the mistaken in their aims. It is the constructive principle in life that builds up. There is power in praise ans assuring words. The husband can make of his wife a splendid companion by constructive words of praise and encouragement. The wife can do likewise with her husband. She rises or falls with him and it is to her interest to help hmi win suc cess wit her words of praise and up liftment. A nagging, fault-finding wife is always an element of failure in the life of any man. He will always fail unless he is strong enough to rise above her and shut her out of his life. He wins then without her and in spite of her. She then loses her place in his affections and life, and if there is no separation, she is only tolerated in order to keep out of the divorce courts. There is no happi ness and peace and companionship in such a union. We meet men whose well-mean ing wives have criticised them into failure in business. And we meet wives whose husbands have criticised them into unhappiness and careless and nidifferent home makers. Sometimes an ambitious woman marries a commonplace, easy-going man. He hasn’t the push and energy that she wants him to have. She be gins to criticise and nag him be cause he is not successful like other men. She plants and cultivates in his mind the seed of inferiority and he succumbs to her influence and become an inferiour man. If she knew the law of the mental world she would plant only seeds of up lifting and superiority in his mind and cultivate them daily by her words of encouragement. Her pow er to make him attain her ideal is greater than she imagines. There are more sorry men in the world than women, hence if is im portant that the women learn the laws of success. It’s a big Job to make a success out of asorry man. but some women do it.—Exchange.

Having been solicited by many good citizens from every section of the county to make the race for county commissioner, I hereby an nounce my candidacy for said office at the primary election, and should I be elected I pledge myself to dis charge all duties of the office. Here are a few items that I am not in favor of, and some that I am: I don’t believe in a county com missioner being clerk of board of commisioners. I ani not in favor of convicts staying in winter quarters the year round, and being transported to their work in trucks. Am not in favor of the county be ing cut in three departments, for there is more or less friction with board of commissioners. Believe in the tax payers knowing twice a year by an itemized state ment through the papers where their money has been spent. In favor of all road taxes being spent in the district where it was collected. Under the system that Gwinnett coqnty has been run for several years, I can’t see why a man can’t save tlje county at least $3,000 per year. Respectfully, W. B. HOPSON. TWICE-A-WEEK SOUTH HONORS ITS GREATEST ONCE MORE Stone Mountain, Ga.—The south again honored its imortnl leader when high up the granite wall of Stone Mountain there was unveiled the sculptured head of Robert E. Lee. v, The dream of a great memorial began to come true wheg a bright, broad American flag was lifted and gathered as a glowing coronet about the majestic brow of I.ee, looking out from the sheer wall of Stone Mountain—the first of the mighty group planned by Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor. The skies were tenderly gray; and even the chill breeze out of a trace of rain was in the air, as the distin guished gentleman of the old south, gave te signal for the thunder of granite boulders down the sheer face of the mountain, and then the slow lifting of the national emblem that disclosed the face of the great leader, sculptured in heroic base re lief upon the living stone. The dawn of a great dream com ing true lighted the towering gran ite wall of the mountain, and under its more than royal coronet the calm face of Lee looked out across the grey landscape, keeping watch now and forevermore over the southland that eh loved and te nation that he served. „ Plans for the unveiling exercises had been carefully perfected by the executives of the Stone Mountain Memorial association.
