Official Organ Gwinnett County. City of Lewrenceville, V. S. Court, Northern District of Georgia. __ Entered at the Post Office at Law renceville.

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. J 4 SI 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. WRIGUYS Chew it after every meal It stimulates appetite and aids digestion.

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. New »rd Second Hand Ford.. H. P. Stiff Motor Co.

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.

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.
