No. 17.
Lois Mills
Mr. Editor: With a few changes and apologies to
the Anders <n (S. C.) Tiibune I ain sending the follow
ing.—Bill Blue.
One i ight as the devil sat musing alone,
In the midst of his cozy warm fire,
And trying to figure the difference in guilt
’Tween a thief and an all around liar.
His memory turned to the scenes of his youth,
Ailhiie/M ills 1 wit 1 hi: boiling tears,
So he took down his ledger and turned to a page
Dated tack about six thousand years.
I suppose he said as he glanced thru the book,
I am doing the best that 1 can,
For my business denotes a continual increase,
Every since the creation of man.
Iv’e cribbed a good harvest for six thousand years,
And should be content with the yield,
And give my opponent permission to have
The gleanings I leave in the field.
I have gathered a very diversified crop.
Of merchants and lawyers galore,
I have bound politicians in bundles until
Every one of my fingers are sore.
I have murderers, forgers and liars,
I have fiddlers, gamblers and : nsurance men,
I have filled up the furnace with pro-Germans,
Till they have actually put out the fires.
* have railroad conductors and doctors to spare,
Horse traders and preachers to spend,
AH kinds of candidates, a few plain fools,
And two or three newspaper men.
But there is one class I am happy to say,
Can never gain entrance here,
Their souls are so d : rty I am sure they would
Demoralize hell in a year.
I refer to that thing neither human or beast,
The carrion crow of the world,
Who makes war on old men, women and kids
And feasts on the helpless srirl.
A million of years in my warmest of rooms,
His sins could never atone,
Bo I’ll give him a match and advise him to start
A select little hell of his own.
With his fingers he lit an asbestos cigar,
And placing the book on the shelf.
He muttered I may be a very bad man.
But I have some respect for myself.

For Judge Tallapoosa

The Gateway takes pleasure in
presenting the name of Hon. J.
R. Huseheson, of Douglasville,
as a candidate to succeed himself
as solicitor-general of the Talla
poosa judicial circuit.
Mr. Hutcheson was born in
Paulding county, near the line of
Haralson in 1871. At the age of
17 he canvassed his county sell
ing books. Taught a country
school for several years; earned
the funds with which to procure
a splendid collegiate education
and taught school continuously
for six years. When not teaching
to get money to educate himself
he was in college.
On July 1, 1897, at the age of
26, he began the practice of law
in Douglasville, and has redded
in that county continuously ever
since, where he has built up a
splendid law practice.
Born in Paulding, adopted by
Douglas, and most of his people
residing in Haralson county, it
can truthfully be said that he
b. longs to the three counties.
He is a son of Mr. John K.
Hutcheson, who resides at the
old homestead near Draketown,
in Paulding county, and a grand
son of Dr. R. B. Hutcheson, that
grand old man whom so many
loved for his noble virtues, his
untarnished Christian character
and his many charitable acts
during the war between the
states.
However, the people of the
Tallapoosa circuit know Bob
Hutchesun, and they know him
to be just and fair to both rich I j.”
and poor alike. All look alike to
him. If you want to see him

Upshaw to Speak
Hon. W. D. Upshaw will,speak
at Litliia Springs Saturday after
noon, August 3. the merchants

pose in the future, as in the

equal justice to all.

Wm. Schley Howard
To those who attended the
Howard speaking in Atlanta
Monday night—and they were
there from all over Georgia—it
certainly looked like everything
and everybody is for Howard.
We don’t believe any ether
man in Georgia could have dtawn
audience of six thousand
people who had formerly heard
him on numerous oc asi ms.
If all the people of the state
could hear Mr. Howard as he
compares the records of himself
and the Junior Senator, he would
carry every county in the state.
He had little to say of Mr
Harris, and ihet was in a humor
ous vein; but he took Hardwick’s
record from start to finish since
the war began, and it is enough
to make any man blush for shame
unless he is all brass
After voting for war, Hard
wick voted against the selective
service act, thus failing to pro
vide men to prosreute the war
for which he voted.
After our men were being sent
over, he voted against the meas
ures that would supply them with
food and necessities which would
leave them at the mercy of the
most merciless brutes in the
annals of history. If he had been
representing the German govern
ment he could not have done
more valient service foe the Kai
ser.
Men, Georgian a, Americans!
Dr.T. R. WHITLEY
Ca ididate for Congress
From the 5th District
Dr, Whitlev has had many
years’ experience as a Legislator
and State Senator, and has as
much constructive legislation to
his credit as any man in the
S ate.
He was the author of the bill
creiting the State Board of
Health; one of the authors of
the Uniform Text Book bill;
author of the State Tuberculosis
Sanitarium at Alto; also the bill
creating the first Pardon Board,
and served as Chairman of said
board—the succeeding session of
the Legislature making it per
manent and designating it as the
Prison Commission.
He gave his active support to
many constructive measures,
among the most important of
which was disfranchising the
negro and placing the convicts
on the public roads. As director
of the Bankhead Highway, he
succeeded in putting it through
the Fifth Congressional Distiict.
WHAT HE STANDS FOR :

Opposes the fixing of prices on
cotton—our great staple indus

his “independence." If Hard

President are wrong. Is he the
