MRS. W L. NIX,
On McAdoo Scored
By Watson Friend
Edmondson Attack
Atlanta , Ga.—Grover Cleveland
Edmondson’s editorial attack on
William G. McAdoo, candidate for
the democratic nomination for the
presidency, appearing in the last is
sue of the Columbia Sentinel, is de
nounced by William G. Mcßae in a
statement made public Sunday by
Georgia McAdoo headquarters.
Mcßae is a young lawyer and
World war veteran of Rockmont. Me
Adoo headquarters point out that he
was kknown for years as a warm
friend and supporter of the late Sen
ator Thomas E. Watson, and second
ed his nomination at the 1920 con
vention in Macon. Mcßae, it is an
nouneced, will speak fop McAdoo at
Dublin on Tuesday morning and at
Swainsboro Tuesday night.
Mcßae asserts that Edmondson
has not the slighest right to “speak
for Senator Watson and to give ad
vice to the dead senator’s friends as
to how they shall vote in this im
portant election.” Edmonndson, he
says, was repudiated by Watson
only a few months before hedied.
The statement by Mcßae follows:
As a real friend of the late Sen
ator Thomas E. Watson, who had
the honor of seconding his nomina
tion for the senate in the democratic
state convention in Macon in 1920
I am disgusted by the effrontery of
Grover Cleveland Edmondson.
This renegade, who ad no standing
with Senator Watson when the sen
ator died, and who is entitled to no
standing with-the friends of Senator
Waston, has revived the Columbia
Sentinel for the purpose of attack
ing William G. McAdoo on the eve
of the presidential primary in Geor
gia. He presumes to speak for Sen
ator Watson and to give advice to
the dead senator’s friends as to how
they should vote in this important
election.
I was a friend and supporter of
Senator Watson, but unlike Edmond
son I never did anything to embrass
him, I never rouhiedcrossed him, and
was never repudiated by him. lam
going to vote for McAdoo in the
primary next Wednesday because he
has demonstrated by his record in
public life that he is a genuine
friend of the masses of the people,
and because in my judgement he is
the ablest leader the democrats can
name to wiif the presidency and re
store honest government in the in
terests of the people.
I am reliably informed and believe
tha Edmondson offerer for the finan
cial consideration to revive the Col
umbia Sentinel and publish an ed
itorial praising McAdop and that Me
Adoo campaign headquarters fiatly
turned him down because they were
not willing to insult the friends of
the late Senator Watson by going
before them with any statement over
Edmondson’s signature. A few days
later, Edmondson appeared in the
Sentinel with an editorial attacking
McAdoo and praising Underwood.
The friends of Senator Watson can
draw their ow conclusions as to the
high and patriotic motives which
Edmondson to give them
this advice.
Personally, I do not believe there
is on Watson follower out of a hun
dred ir. Geoergia, who will pay any
attention to Edmondson. Senator
Watson learned by experiece that
there was no dependence to be put
in him, and issued a statement to
that effect a short while before he
died. I think Senator Watson
would turn over in his grave if he
knew that this renegade is peddling
the name of his newspaper around
any political headquartess where he
believes it can be .sold.

God took dear. Florence to fill the

They love her, “Oh they loved her,”

J. J. BROCK, Principal Lawrenceville High
I was born and reared in Banks county; received my educa
tion in the rural schools. After finishing high school I attended
Mercer University for four years, graduating with A. B. degree.
I have been a student at the University of Georgia summer
school for several terms. I have been superintendent and teacher
for about twelve years, a part of which has been in the rural
schools.
If elected I promise the people of this county a business
administration as well as an educational supervision. We need an
educational revival in this county, and this should begin in the
rural schools. The small schools are failing to function efficient
ly, resulting in a great waste of public school funds, and far
greater w r aste in time and opportunity of our boys and girls.
I believe the small schools of the rural section should be
just as good as the schools of the towns and the teachers should
be paid just as well.
I believe each school district should have their part of the
school funds, and spend it anytime that is best for the community.
I do not believe we are ready for (fonsolidation in the lower
grades.
I believe there should be a high school in the reach of every
boy and girl of this county. Thousands of dollars go out of the
county each year for the education of Gwinnett county girls and
boys.
My duties in the Lawrenceville school are such that I will
not be able to see all the people. If you feel that my qualifications
and experience fit me for this place your influence and vote will
be appreciated.
Yours for better schools in this county,
J. J. BROCK.

It is very generally thought that it

Cotton Planting

For Heavy Production and Early Maturity
. A NEW VARIETY
SALSBURY IS DISTINCT
SALSBURY is a distinct variety—the result of eight year’s plant breeding
by Professor J. W. Fox and Mr. E. C. Ewing, the experts of the Delta and Pine
Land Co. at Scott Miss. Commencing with an extra-early heavy-fruiting
strain of Wannamaker-Cleveland, these men have worked untiringly year
after year selecting and cross-breading, keeping the best and eliminating the
underesirable, until they produced SALSBURY, which we believe to be a per

still, is worth a good premium in any market.

thority to reduce taxation.*
The foregoing statement was
made here today by Joel Hunter,
well known business counsellor and
statistician, in discussing taxation.
His views as an expert were sought
in view of pending legislation on the
subject. Mr. Hunter is consulted on
taxation problems by more import
ant business interests in the south
than any other man. He is the au
thor of a number of books on taxa
tion and business subjects which
have had a wide circulation, and he
is frequently on demand as a lectur
er. •
Where Tax Money Goes.
“When we come to discuss what
the United States does with the
sums it collects from taxation, the
figures are so vast as to make it dif
ficult to understand. In the late
world war the government loaned
the foreign nations about eleven bil
lions of dollars. In order to rai.se
this money it issued bonds and of
these bonds we now owe over twen
ty billion dollars.
“The annual interest charge on
this vast amount is greater than the
whole public debt of the United
States before the European war. In
addition to paying the interest, the
government is to lay aside each
year, a proportionate part of the to
tal revenue in order to pay these
bonds when they come due.
“On top of this great burden of
debt, the United States has to pay a
great number of expenses which
make up the cost of running the en
tire government. It might be said
with truth that if it were not for the
enormous debt caused by the world
war, the average citizen would not
have to pay any taxes to the United
States.
One Evil Begets Another.
“The great income tax was brought
about by the needs' engendered by
this great war, and then, as showing
how one evil begets another, by rea
son of the fact that the interest oni
the state and county bonds does not
have to pay any income tax, thous
ands of counties in the United
States commenced to issue bonds for
all sorts of purposes of every kind.
Rich people bought these bonds in or
der to save on their income taxes,
but the person of modest means who
ow(j,s property is now compelled to
pay a higher county tax to meet in
part the interest on these bonds.
“Mention may be made of the tax
imposed by the 'United States that
is known as the tariff. If you go to
Europe and bring back a silk dress
you have to pay a tax, known as a
duty, on this dress. Thousands of
articles thus purchased are subject
to duty and the money received from
this tariff goes into the general fund
to meet the various expenses of the
federal government.”
