M’ADOO FORCES IN GEORGIA
HARMONIOUS DESPITE PLOT OF
OUTSIDERS TO STIR DISCORD
Delegates Chosen Regularly
and According to Mr. Mc-
Adoo’s Wishes, Says Hani
ilton, Who Charges Politi
cal Pique Is Back of Prop
aganda—Randolph Not a
Candidate - , He Says
Thomas J. Hamilton, editor of The
Augusta Chronicle, and chairman of
the McAdoo campaign committee for
Georgia, issued a statement Satur
day afternoon, charging that the ag
itation over the selection of delegates
to the state convention is “being
fostered by The Atlanta Constitu
tion," and that its purpose is to re
tain Hon. Clark Howell as national
committeeman from Georgia.
In his card, which is addressed to
his fellow editors. Mr. Hamilton char
acterizes the agitation as “a feeble
barrage,’’ and appeals to the people
of “the Empire state not to reward
that gentleman who has held the of
fice so long, ’tis ‘true, but who is
entitled to no consideration in this
instance.” *
Mr. Hamilton’s statement, and «
card by Hollins N. Randolph, deny
ing that he is, or will be, a. candidate
for the national committee, were ac
cepted in political circles as develop
ments foreshadowing a harmonious
state convention in Atlanta, April 23,
when delegates to the Democratic
national convention will be selected
and instructed for William G. Mc-
Adoo.
Not Candidate, Randolph Says
In his card, addressed to the editor
of The Atlanta Georgian, Mr. Ran
dolph makes it entirely clear that,
while he is not a candidate and will
not be a candidate for national com
mitteeman, he is deferring to and re
specting the wishes of Mr. McAdoo
with regard to the state convention.
Mr. Hamilton’s statement follows:
To my fellow editors of Georgia:
As chairman of the McAdoo
movement for Georgia, I wish to
make a statement vhich, I am
sure, will enlighten you in re
gard to the feeble barrage which
is being laid down by certain
people in the state on the ac
tion of the McAdoo campaign
managers in selecting delegates
to the state convention.
Anyone who reads carefully
the rules of the state executive
committee knows that Mr. Mc-
Adoo's managers committed no
error in the selection of dele
gates. It was distinctly provided
in the rules that the delegates be
selected by the friends of the
winning candidate.
The four managers of the Mc-
Adoo movement, consisting of
myself, Hon. Miller S. Bell, of
Milledgeville; Mrs. Edgar Alex
ander. of Atlanta, and Hon. Hol
lins N. Randolph, of Atlanta,
were specifically designated by
Mr. McAdoo to select these dele
gates. Therefore, there was noth
ing irregular, blit a persistent cry
is going up and emanating from
a certain source that we have
usurped authority, that we are
autocrats and have sacrificed
democratic go ei.imem on the
altar of despotism. Well, here is
the story:
The agitation is primarily for
the purpose of retaining lion.
Clark Howell as national cotn
mittman, and is being fostered
by the Atlanta Constitution.
Says Constitution Hesitated
1 wish to say to my fellow edi
tors and to tha people of Georgia
that Mr. McAdoo had onl.Y one ,
powerful daily pexyspaper in At
lanta to come tq his support
after the writer wd other man
agers of the McAdoo campaign
had been assured that the At
lanta Constitution "at the proper
time” would come out strong for
Mr. McAdoo.
The friends of the writer, who
is editor of the Augusta Chroni
cle, which newspaper first es
poused Air. McAdoo’s cause,
have urged that he be national
committeeman. 1 am not a can
didate for that position, but 1
wish to urge upon the electorate
deserted by soldiers. Only keeper

WINSTON-SA LE M.—Opinion is
expressed by T. G. Troy, field repre-
of Georgia the . ame of that stal
! wart supporter of Mr. Wilson
in 1912 and Mr. McAdoo in 1924,
Major John S. Cohen, president
and editor of The Atlanta Jour
nal.
The Constitution had persist
ently denied us assistance and
Major Cohen’s powerful paper,
The Atlanta. Journal, running
true to form, came to our aid
with the result that there was
virtually a McAdoo landslide.
I make an appeal to editors all
over Georgia and to the people
of the Empire state not to re
ward that gentleman who has
held the office so long, ’tis true,
but is l entitled to no considera
tion in this instance. He failed
us in our hour of trial when we
were led to believe that, he would
bo our friend. If Hon. Clark
Howell is named national com
mitteeman in face of the results
of March 19th, merit will go un
rewarded and the chief honor
that accrues from a president
ial campaign will ge to a man
who failed in a crisis.
After all the assurances of sup
port, the editor of the Constitu
tion infromed the writer that Mc-
Adoo was eliminated from the
race. His paper proceeded ac
cordingly. He refused us aid in
our hour of need and yet he
wants all the fruits of the vic
tory.
The writer not only asks but
urges that Major Cohen receive
the support of all Mr. McAdoo’s
friends, for his paper was the on J
and only support we received
among the powerful dailies of
the state capital.
Respectfully,
THOMAS J. HAMILTON,
General Chairman McAdoo Cam
paign Committee and Editor
Augusta Chronicle.
Mr. Randolph's Card
Mr. Randolph’s card to The Geor
gian follows:
Atlanta, Ga., April 5, 1924.
Editor Atlanta Georgian:
The nbws item in your yester
day’s paper that I had been sug
gested as a compromise for the
position of national committee
man, was, I am sure, prompted by
the best of spirit and the compli
ment you paid me has not passed
without notice. I am not a can
didate for the position, however,
and would not accept it if unani
mously tendered. Mr. McAdoo
was the candidate in the recent
primary, and it is his privilege
to make suggestions and express
his wishes along these lines and,
so far as 1 personally can by my
voice and efforts, they will be
respected. I worked for him un
tiringly and to the utmost of my
ability, and the only regret I
have about the result is, it was
not unanimous.
They fought him hard and bit
terly, but the people of his native
state answered the opposition in
away which, to my mind, is
unmistakable. Under no circum
stances or conditions would I
accept the position on the na
tional committee.
Respectfully.

SAWMILL MAN AND PREACHER
IS STILL IN HARNESS AT 92
Young Giant Who Was Haiti
Drinker and Camp Bully
Was Converged and Has
Baptized 2,000 Persons
*— .
( MOULTRIE, Ga., April 4.—With
1 his mind apparently unimpaired by
| the sweep of time and his health
'remarkably good, the Rev. John R.
Caldwell, nearly ninety-two, and one
of the oldest living ministers of the
-ospel says that he intends to con
tinue ’to divide his time “between
preaching and saw milling .i” st sf>
, long as he possibly can. ’.His home
ij S in Dallis county, Alabama, but bo
is here OH a visit to his son, John
R. Caldwell, Jr., a well-known Col
i quitt county lumberman.
To a Moultrie newspaperman, the
i aged minister told an interesting
story of his long and colorful life,
i Born in Monroe county, Georgia, he
left home in 1848. making his way to
1 Macon county, Alabama, where he
secured work as a raftsman for a
1 lumber concern that had extensive
; holdings along the Tallapoosa tivet.
'At that time he said that he was
“an illiterate, penniless and wild
I youth”
Drinker and Bully
Being almost a giant in size and
of a reckless temperament, Mr.
Caldwell said that he soon estab
lished a “wide reputation as a pas
sionate drinker and lumber camp
bully.” After a brief reference to
this episode in his life, Mr. Cald
well referred to his conversion at
an old-fashioned eamp meeting in
1855.
“It. was ort Friday night before
the fifth Sunday in July that year,”
he recalled. “The meeting,” he con
-1 tinned, “had been underway for sev-
I eral days, but 1 had firmly refused
ito attend any of the services, al
though repeatedly urged to do so
by my wife. We had been having
a mighty hard time. 1 gambled
just well enough to lose what was
left after buying my whisky. Final
ly, 1 consented to attend. We left
our cabin and 1 carried our seven
teen-months-old baby in my arms.
That night under the influence of
the preaching of Rev. Joe Abernathy
I was regenerated.”
Disgusted With School
It was not until after this that he.
had any desire to learn to read and
write, said Mr. Caidwell. “I started
to school with my oldest child, but
at the end of the third day 1 quit
in disgust because the teacher tried
to pound into my head a lot of sense
less rules found in Smith's gram
mar, but I studied at night.”
At the outbreak of the Civil war,
Mr. Caldwell said that he had a
large sawmill business, but enlisted
in the Confederate army, serving
throughout the conflict. He was
licensed a Baptist minister in June,
1865; but continued his business as
a. sawmill man. Since that time he
has received into the church more
than 2,000 members and has bap
tized all of them.
“1 have never had any paying
churches; I haven't needed or want
ed them,” he said. “I have pre
ferred to serve the small ones—i
those that are struggling and unable I
to pay a pastor. I have been able
to do my business fairly well and to
preach also. I expect to keep* up
that program as long as I am able.”

J/ie Farmers Profits are not
J Dependent on Freight Rates
There are many things which determine whether ot
not a farm crop brings profit or loss to the farmer.
Normally, the farmer has a right to expect and get a
price that will repay him for production costs, plus a
fair profit.
Even on fertile ground, with expert cultivation and
every condition favorable, a drought or freeze at the
wrong time may tip the scale from profit to loss. A
war abroad, a slump in business, or a strike in some
locality boosts or lowers the price of farm products,
unexpectedly.
For the railroads to reduce freight rates (even if
conditions allowed a reduction), would not insure the
farmer against any of these possible losses; nor would
it guarantee him a profit.
In most cases, the farmer’s responsibility for his crop
is ended when his produce is delivered to the depot or
is put in cars on the freight siding. It is the man who
buys the farm products who pays the cost of trans
porting them to market; not the farmer.
If you raise your crops on a basis that will produce a
profit when loaded on the cars, you are independent o<*
freight rates. But if, on the other hand, you have suf
fered a loss in growing your produce, no reduction of
freight rates can possibly wipe out your loss.
What the farmer needs, and should have, is not lower
freight rates but a fair price and a wider market for
everything he producer That the railroads desire to
aiinT a help the farmer is proven by the 12» reduction the.'
have made in freight rates during the past two years
amounting to over one billion dollars.
Further reduction of rates would impoverish the railroads,
Farmers would be the first to suffer
