“THREE SPRINGS”
I. A story of three springs that rise high on the moun

One is blue, one is white and one is gold. The dip of
the willow branches bids each a fond farewell.
First, in the little limpid pool, they listen to the But
terfly’s advice to the ambitious Lily—“be content,” then
down the Brook they flow “merrily, cheerily,” until they
come to the “Three Little Falls,” where it is “rough and
dark” but “cool, oh, cool.”
They go down the sluggish, slow-moving river, hear
ing the song of the rowers, then “leaping and falling”
they shoot over the ‘'Great Waterfall,” and at last from
the tip of a wave out on the ocean vast, they are drawn up
by the sun to the soft clouds above, to be wafted back to
their lovely home, high on the mountain side.

ALBERT WOODRUFF WILL
RUN AGAINST JIM PRICE
To the Citizens of Georgia:
1 have had under consideration for
sometime the question of Whether or
not I would make the race against
Commissioner Price for a place on the
Georgia public service commission.
I have definitely decided 1 to run *
against Commissioner Pried in the
coming primaty, next September.
I have felt for a long time that
someone actively affiliated writh the
business of the shippers of the state
should be on the commission, and it
is due somewhat to this conviction
that I have decided to make the race.
It has been a long number of years
since ond of otir’citizens thus affi
liated has been on the commission.
Reasons justifying this representation
on the part of the shippers of the
state, as a whole, are too obvious for
discussion.
I shall immediately begin an active
campaign throughout the state and
expect to go into every cpunty in the
state. In this way of campaigning,
I will have ample opportunity to
thoroughly familiarize myself with
the conditions throughout the state
and, particularly, getting « close-up
view of the agricutural interest,
which to my mind, is seriously await
a solution in matters of equitable
transportation.
If elected, I shall strive to the ut
most ttf see that absolute justice is
done to shippers and carriers alike,
fostering every legitimate enterprise
to the end that Georgia may main
tain her stand in the future, as in the
past, as the Umpire State of the
South.
