Watch The Leader grow!
Once he called her ‘ darling, 1)
And wrote her three times a day.
Now they’re married he never
Calls her anything but, “say”!
When the scientists have suc¬
ceeded in destroying all the Hies,
■what will the spiders live on ’
poor things?
Doubtless Mr. Bryan, seeing
the volume Governor Johnston’s
candidacy lias developed in so
short a time must be I r ad the
Denver Convention was not put
off longer
Out of several hundred dele
gates who nominated Joe Brown
in Atlanta this week, it was no¬
ticed that not ‘all 5 of them were
railroad men, whiskey men or
“durn fools.’ It will also he no¬
ticed that they endorsed prohi¬
bition. Now growl!
Taft has been nominated as
the Republican candidate for
Preside nt, and will be elected un¬
less the Den i (, crats wake up to a
realization or ’ i ! ft’s strength and
put a stronger man against him
• than Bryan. Governor Johnson
is the only Democrat in the Uni¬
ted Stales who could stand any
showing of beating Taft. The
Democrats will refuse to vote for
a man who has been defeated
twice.
Twelve years ago a President
candidate proposed to pack the
Supreme Couri in order to re¬
verse the income tax decision,
The Democratic party has been
out of power ever since it sup
ported this candinate. If it
wishes to remain out of power
for twelve years more it can al¬
most certainly achieve such an¬
nihilation by another campaign
to pack the Supreme Court and
trample upon the Constitution
of the United States.
* The bill passed by the last
Congress prohibiting labor by
children under fourteen years of
age and imposing a penalty on
those who employ them, is a mis¬
chievous bill and the entire ar¬
gument of it is that parents do
not know how to rear their child¬
ren and the inference is that
there is not enough race suicide.
It is really a measure for the
promotion of vagrancy, although
it is all done in the name of re¬
form and morality Sentimen¬
talism and hysteria are all too
evident in recent legislation
It is said that there is an un¬
derstanding that Secretary of
State Root is, either before or
after Taft’s election, to be ap¬
pointed as Chief Justice of the
United States. Justice Fuller,
appointed by Cleveland, is an old
man and has a right to retire on
full pay, but so far as is known,
he has shown no intention of do¬
ing so. No better appointment
than Secretary Root could be
made. There is no better law¬
yer or broader or more brillient
statesman in the country, nor
perhaps has ever been.

The Leader’s Big Subscription Popularity Contest has been!
quite interesting since our last issue. In the first district Misses
Houser, Baldwin and Glass have been running so close until no one ;
could even get an idea one afternoon who would have first place j
the next. Some days it came near bein t tie between.them. in
the 2nd district Miss Green lias held first pi ce the, entire week,
hut some of the other young ladies in that district have started to
work and promise to make it interesting for Miss Green. Miss
Annie Sue Johnson, of Marshallville, is a new one in the race and
j has held second place since she first entered the race.
Some of those with a smaller vote in each of the districts have :
climbed ui) considerably and may yet become one of the leaders.!
A ny of them can come up to the head of the list if they would try,;
for votes are easy to get. All you have to do is to go to your |
friends and ask for their votes, They will readily subscribe fori
the Leader and give you thevvotes which their subscriptions enti¬
tie them to. tle in ember a two-year advance subscription gets 500
votes and a live-year one giv-es you 3,000 votes.
None of the young ladies have a very large vote yet and it is
not yet too late to enter the race if you would like to get one of
these companion trips. Take advantage of the 500 extra votes |
offered in our big ad. Remember the contest closes July 18th and |
yOU Olljj have three weeks after this one in which to get votes.
Don’t delay; now is the time.
The vote up to 4 o’clock Thursday afternoon was as follows:

On Friday the H)th our town
and community was shocked by
the sudden announcement that
j our former fellow townsman, Mr
Jack Glieeves had died at his
home in Zenith- Having seen
him in town that morning, it was
hard to realize that we would see
him no more. His was a fine old
Georgia family who for several
generations have made their
homes in Grawford and Houston
counties, and lie will be greatly
missed by the friends who *knew
him best. He leaves besides
two brothers, two devoted daugh¬
ters, Mrs. Albert Skellie and
Miss Parmelee Glieeves whose
mother had proceeded him to
the Glory-land more than ten
years ago. May their Heavenly
Father who is too wise to err,and
too good to be unkind, be an ever
present help and comfort to these
sorrowing daughters and lead
them gently home, where orphan¬
age is unknown.

Do You Need
A Telephone?
The only man who doesn’t need one is stone deaf,
lives alone, has no friends nor occupation.
To aH the telephone at least proves interesting, To
some it will open up a means of making money,
while to others it means social and business better^
ment.
Su ppose you you see Lester Hartley, and have a
phone put in before the rush of the peach sea6on.

vvhile switching cars in thel
yard in Macon last Thursday, Mr
G W Gas sett had his foot run ov
er by a freight car and severely
mashed. He was carried to Tl__ cut;
hospital where he will be confined
several months. It may become
necessary to amputate his foot.
Mr Gasset was reared in Craw¬
ford and has since lived in Fort
Valley while running on the Per¬
ry branch. He is a conductor on
the Central road.
