from the boll weevil is neglible, ex

The fans highly appreciate the
kindness and consideration of the
Atlanta Journal in broadcasting the
baseball games between the Crack
eds and other Southern League
teams every afternoon, which is a
pleasure, by the way, that the base
ball enthusiasts of no other state
in the union have, as it is the only
newspaper anywhere giving such a
gratuitous service to the public.
A Mrs. Ferguson, wife of the im
peached Texas governor, is a candi
date for the democratic gubernator
ial nomination in that state, where
it requires a majority of the votes
cast at the preferential primary to
nominate, the two highest being re
quired to make a runover race, and
'atest returns show it highly prob
able that she is the second highest.
The house committee on constitu
tional amendments has recom
mended one providing for the sub
mission of one authorizng the is
suance of ?18,000,000 of bonds to
raise money for aiding in road con
struction, and the members of the
legislature who vote for t should be
left at home by the September pri
maries, as the people of this state
are overwhelmingly opposed to in
creasing its bonded indebtedness,
which mean 3 higher taxes. This leg
islature has done absolutely nothing
to relieve taxpayers, but, on the
contrary, its main purpose has been
to increase it. $6,000,000 are being
annually expended on road building
in Georgia, while the general as
sembly has refused to appropriate
a sufficiency for the Asylum for the
insane, and likewise for the mainte
■nance of the state’s educational ir.
stitutions.
The trouble with these sapient le
gislators is that they have a higher
appreciation of dirt- than brains, the
latter of which the majority there
of seem to be short on.

PEACH COUNTY.
Two years ago, the people of
Georgia defeated a constitutional
amendment providing for the crea
tion of a new county to be carved
off Houston and Oglethorpe coun
ties to be named Peach.
The present legislature has again
submitted a constitutional amend
ment providing for the creation of
the proposed county.
Georgia already has about thirty
more counties than ought to have
been made, and the house of rep
resentatives has so many members
that it looks and acts like a mass
meeting and is utterly unable to
legislate in due time, or intelli
gently, and, instead of increasing
its membership and inefficiency by
making more counties and members,
the interests of the state demand
that there should be a reduction of
both.
Instead of ratifying this proposed
amendment the people ought to re
ject it by a crushing majority.

UNCLE JIMMIE WILLIAMS
SCALPS HARDWICK.
On the Ith of July. Ex-Gov.
Hardwick made his keynote address
at Watsons Springs, following which
Editor J. C. Wiliams, of the Greens
boro Herald-Journal proceeded to
scalp him thuslyi
“fn his address at Watson
Springs, Hon. Thos. W. Hardwick
stated that he was an old fashioned
Democrat —the kind like Andrew
Jackson, Thomas Jefferson and all
of the old boys who made political
history.
“We thought all the time Tom
Billy was a Republican!
“He held office under the corrupt
Daugherty, former attorney general
of these oil saked United States.
“Can you picture Thomas Jeffer
son, or Andrew Jackson being a
party to Republican rascality? Or
holding jobs under a corrupt Re
publican attorney-general?
“If Tom Billy is an old sash oned
Democrat, then all we ca n say is,
God save Democracy!
“In 1912, at the Macon conven
tion, Tom Billy said he was a pro
gressive Democrat. But twelve
years is a long time.
“Tom Billy also said he was
against any secret order of a politi
cal nature. He denounced the Ku
Klux Klan.
“While the Herald-Journal has
no brief fer the Ku Klux Klan, we
again remind you that while Tom
Billy was governor; he told the.boys
of the hooded night cap and white
pajamas, ‘I would like to join your
order after my term as governor
expires.’ He delivered the dedica
tion speech of the imperial palace.
“But doi\’t think for one moment
that Tom Billy is against all secret
political orders. He practically an
nounced for the United States sen
ate in an address before the ’2l
club’ in Atlanta,, a secret political
organization formed to fight the Ku
Klux Klan.
“Tom Billy says that Senator Har
ris, who has served one term in the
senate, can’t point out one single
accomplishment in that length of
time.
“Of couise, we won’t take Tom
Billy serious, but at the same time,
Toni Billy served sixteen consecu
tive years in both houses of con
gress, and he can’t point to one
single thing he accomplished. Tom
Billy was a friend to the corpora
tions. He voted against the parcel
post bill. He voted for the sugar
turst. After all, it’s better to be an
honest ‘messenger boy’ conveying
the wishes of those you represent
than to be a mere tool of the cor
porations.
“Tom Billy said at Watson
Springs that he was against war. If
that’s the case, why did Tom Billy
vote for war whle in the senate?
“Tom Billy is inconsistent in a lot
of things, but he is consistent in his
pursuit for all public offices—he’s
nothing but a chronic office seeker!
The Atlanta Journal copied this,
and when Billy read it he grew ex
ceeding wroth, and had what he ex
pected the reading public to accept
as a reply published in that paper.
Here are some of the charges, and
they are of a very serious nature, to
which he made no reference:
1. That he could not name a
single measure originated by him
that was enacted into a law, during
his sixteen years service in congress.
2. Did not deny the charge that
he is a republcan, especially when
at Washington, where he hobnobs
with republicans, who are his partic
ular personal friends and associates.
3. He did not deny the charge
that, during his term as governor,
he was intimately friendly with the
Ku Klux Kian, and that he made the
dedication speech of the Imperial
Palace of the Klan, but tried to
dodge by saying the house wag the
PRIVATE residence of W. J. Sim
mons, when he knew better.
Ho did emphatically deny that ho
ever expressed an intention to join
the Klan when his term as governor
expired, though there are said to be
plenty of witnesses to the contrary.
He also said that he was defeated
for governor because he publicly de
clared himself as opposed to the
Klan, and that he knew that de
claration would defeat him, when he
made it. Now all you folks who be
lieve that, stand upon your heads,
until you are counted. If he knew it
beat him then why does he repeat
it now. if he considers himself ac
tually in the race for senator? % .
He oi l deny that Editor Wil-
liams wrote the objeetional editorial,
and charged that Senator Harris was
the author of it. Of course he knew
better, as Williams is one of the i
leading editors of the eGorgia week-1
lies, and fully capable to do his own
writing. His purpose was to get up a
personal contest with Harris, who is
absolutely ignoring him, just as
nine-tenths of the people are.
The truth about Billy is that he is
as careless about handling “facts”
as Sherman was with fire during his
march through Georgia.
The first bale of the 1924 cotton
crop, in Georgia, was ginned at
Omega, Tift county, on the 28th
inst., and weighed 485 pounds, and
classed as good middling. It was
shipped to Savannah, where it is ex
pected to bring a fancy price.
WHAT WILL THE VERDICT BE?
The triangular fight for the pres
idency between Davis, Coobdge and
La Foiled, is rapidly shaping up,
and the adherents of the'eontestants
are making optimistic predictions a
to the final result.
These pre-elections predictions
are unworthy of serious considera
tion. because, instead of being based
upon the real facts as to the actual
situation, they are merely the ex
pressed wishes of the predictors.
A cold blooded review of the sit
uation, however, shows that Davis
has the best chance to win, a 3 the
following indisputable facts will
show:
There are 530 votes in the elec
toral college, and, therefore, it re
quires 266 of them to win.
The following states are regarded
as sure to cast their electoral votes
for Davis:
Votes
Alabama 12
Arizona 3
Arkansas 9
Florida 6
Georgia 14
Kentucky 13
Louisiana 10
Maryland 8
Mississippi 10
Missouri 18
Nebraska 8
Nevada 3
New Mexico 3
North Carolina 12
Oklahoma 10
South Carolina 9
Tennessee 12
Texas "20
Virginia 12
West Virginia 8
Total 200
The following states are regarded
as reasonably sure republican:
Votes
California 13
Connecticutt 7
Illinois 29
Kansas 10
Maine 6
Massachusetts 18
New Hampshire 4
Pennsylvania 38
Rhode Island 5
Utah 4
Vermont I "*"' 4
’ * !
Total 138
The foregoing lists of states show
that Davis is 66 votes short of an
election, and Cooledge 128.
The needed electoral votes must
come from the doubtful states,
which are as follows:
'•'otes
New York , "> . 45
New Jersey v - 14
Ohio . 24
Indiana ►, 15
Oregon '• ». 5
Washington 'Y, 7
Michigan ? 15
lowa % 13
Colorado 4 6
Delaware ” 3
Idaho ,"3** T 4
Wyoming ” 3
Total 154
The following states are conceded
to LaFollette:
Votes
Wisconsin 13
North Dakota 5
South Dakota 5
Montana 5
Total 23
So it is clearly Shown that, in or
der to win. Cooledge must carry ev
ery doubtful state, which is highly
improbable.
Among these doubtful states,
however, it is considered that La-
Follette has achance to win in six
of them, tewit:
Idaho, Wyoming, Michigan, Ore
gon, Washington, and lowa, and it
is also true that Davis has a f ght
ing chance in several of v hem.
We believe that the American
people will repudiate the corrup
tion in so many of the government
al departments at Washington, the
frauds perpetrated through the neg
lect, or connivance, of men high in
the confidence of the Harding and
Cooledge administrations, who have
gone unpunished for their crimes,
and the absolute failure of the pres
ent republican congress to enact any
remedial legislation to relieve them
from the terrible economic condi
tions, which have brought suffer
ing, bankruptcy and poverty to hun
dreds of thousands of them, by an
overwhelming majority. In fact, we
expect a landslide next November
that v ill sweep Davis and Bryan to
a splendid victory.

Suffering.
There’s nothing more annoying
than kidney weakness or inability to
properly control the kidney secre
tions. Night and day alike, the suf
ferer is tormented and what with
the burning and scalding, the at
tendant backache, bpadaehe and diz
ziness, life is indeed a burden.
Doan’s Pills—a stimulant diuretic
to the kidneys—have brought peace
and comfort to many Lawrenceville
people. Profit by this Lawrenceville
resident’s expedience.
C. D. Oakes, prop, grocery, 214
Crogan St., says: “My back was
lame and weak and if I stooped a
catch seized me. When I did any
heavy work, I suffered for it the
next day and could hardly get
around. 1 had to get up nights on
account of the too free passage of
the kidney secretions. My limbs,
feet and ankles swelled, also. 1 used
Doan’s Pills from the City Drug Co.,
and one btfx gave me the desired re
lief.”
