Judge J. J. Flynt’s plan for the
distribution of automobile tags
through lccal county officials, and
depositing the funds in the state
depositories in the counties where
the money is raised until used for
road purposes, instead of putting it
in a few Atlanta banks, is meeting
with state-wide approval and indi
cates that he will be overwhelm
ingly elected Secretary of State.
Tag purchasers will be greatly
convenienced by this plan, and the
expense of distribution will be les
sened. A*, the same time the funds
will be safe, since the officials who
sell the tags and the banks hand
ling the money will be under bond. ■
His opponent L. charging that i
Judge Flynt opposed this plan in l
the 1927 session. This is positively
false. Judge Flynt not only fa- |
vored it but went to the Secretary
of State and urged his support. \
Judge Flynt has dared Mr. Cars
well to mnke his charge in the form
of an affidavit. Judge Flynt fur
ther declares that the time has ctftee
when the people demand that can
didates offering for office shall not
bo men who will deliberately at
tempt to mislead the public.
Judge Flynt is clearly the lead
ing candidate, nnd his friends be
lieve that his election is assured.

COTTON FACTOR - AUGUSTA, GA.
WISDOM! Ar. You Going to Uso Either? COMMON SENSE'
The old method of each person selling their own cotton, by
getting local buyers to make a bid, and then just taking the “Highest
Price,” is recognized as bad buiinnai. For the simple reason the
“Highest Bid” may be many dollars under the market value.
How many people can grade cotton? There are 26 different
grades and the money difference between them is great. The pres
ent age demands specialists and having been in this business all
of my life fesides having a complete organization I can assure
you each bale sent to me will be handled in such a manner you will
get it’s FULL VALUE—and not just the “highest ML ’
Liberal advances at any time. $1.00 covers the expense of
selling each bale and if you hold your cotton, only 50c per bale per
month is charged, which covers everything.

Harrisburg, N. C.-Mr. M. P.
Fink, of this place, says: “ It must*
have been fully twenty-five years
ago that I began taking Black-
Draught regularly. It wasn't so long
after I married.
**I was in town one day, and
while talking to a friend I stooped
over to pick up something. When
I straightened up, I felt dizzy. I
spoke to him about this and how
I had not felt like eating.
My friend told me to take some
Black-Draught. I knew my mother
had used It, and so I bought o-
package. When I got home, I took
a good, big dose, and the next night,
another. In a few days I felt much,
better. I was hungry and the dizzi
ness was gone.
“A good many times I have had
this dizziness and a bad taste in
my mouth, or headaches, and then
I take Black-Draught and get bet
ter. I do not hiive to take it very
often. We buy from five to seven
packages a year.”
Thedfcrd’s Black-Draught has
been found to relieve sick headaches
<n thousands of cases that were due
to constipation. Containing r.o min-
«ral drugs. It acts gently, yet
promptly. Try it. NL-I jS
FACTS VS. PROMISES
CANDIDATE Rivers
claims to lie in favor of ef
ficiency and careful han
dling of State business.
SENATOR Rivers, in
1927, fought Senator Kel
ly’s resolution to require
the hanking department
to furnish the Senate de
tails of the amounts spent
in liquidating defunct
hanks: Incidentally, when ’
this information was fur
nished over SENATOR
Rivers’ opposition, it was
disclosed that MR. Rivers
was liquidating agent and
also attorney for himself
as liquidating agent of the
little hunk at Adel. He
received out of this de
funct hank $3,741.02. The
widows, orphans and oth
er ordinary depositors of
this hank did not receive
a dollar. Why the differ
ence between his platform
and his record?
CANDIDATE Rivers
claims to he in favor of
reducing the number of
slate departments and
cutting off useless em
ployees. MR. Rivers, as
a member of the House in
1925, voted against the
hill to reduce the number
of oil inspectors from 180
to 0. Wliy this change of
heart since he became a
CANDIDATE FOR
GOVERNOR?
CANDIDATE Rivers
now loudly proclaims his
friendship for the farmers
of Georgia. SENATOR
Rivers, in 1 9 2 7 , intro
duced his famous “Self-
rising flour” hill in the
interest of the li a king
powder trusts and against
the interests of the wheat
growers of Georgia. Had
this bill passed it would
have deprived the farmers
of Georgia of a market
for Georgia grown wheat.
As a member of the
House, in 1925, MR. Riv
ers voted against an ap
propriation to help the
farmers of Georgia com
bat the boll weevil and
othercrop destroying
pests. Again, as a mem
ber of the S en a t e in
192G, he introduced ar.J
fought m o s t vigorously
for and finally had passed
a bill a g a i n legalizing
bucket-shop gambling in
Georgia. This bill, for
tunately, was immediate
ly and overwhelmingly
defeated in the House
after its iniquitous pur
pose was revealed in a
statement to the press by
Charles S. Barrett, Pres
ident of the N a t i o n a 1
Farmers Union. Why has
he become interested in
the fanners of Georgia
only since heheeamea
CANDIDATE for Gov
ernor?
CANDIDATE Rivers
now claims to be in favor
of conserving the proper
ty of tbe State of Geor
gia. As a SENATOR, in
jja
Cov. L. G. Hardman
1927, he voted for a reso
lution to lease Georgia’s
most valuable property,
the Western nnd Atlantic
Railway, for an addition
al period of fifty years,
although the present lease
still has forty-one years
to run. As GOVERNOR
of Georgia, would he con
tinue to serve the same in
terests that got him to
support t h i s iniquitous
lease resolution?
CANDIDATE Rivers
now claims to be deeply
interested in the welfare
of the Confederate Vet
erans and the widows of
ConfedernteVeterans, but
—as a m e m b e r of the
House in 1925, MR. Riv
ers voted against the bill
authorizing the issuance
of scrip with which to pay
increased pensions to
Confederate Veterans and
the widows of Confeder
ate Veterans. Why did he
vote against this measure,
which meant so much to
these grand old men and
women of Georgia?
As a CANDIDATE
for Governor, MR. Riv
ers claims to he in favor
of Sunday observance. As
a member of the House
in 1925, MR. Rivers
voted against a bill to pro
hibit Sunday dancing in
public places.
Promises cover a mul
titude of sins. Will the
good people of Georgia
accept his promises and
shut their eyes to his rec
ord? •
The issue in this cam
paign is a clear-cut one.
You will vote for a man
w hose record squarely
contradicts every promise
he has mnde in his cam
paign ; who is now and has
always been closely align
ed with the political ma
chine you repudiated two
years ago and who must
continue to do their bid
ding, OR you will vote fr*
the re-election of Govt
nor Hardman, who has
behind him a lifetime of
consistent battle for the
right and whose honesty
of thought and action has
never been questioned.
