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.

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. nsult your Agent as you would your Doctor or Lawyer.

Lombird In. for tbe build] DIZZY, NO-APPETITE Since Tnkinf Blick-Dnifta Thii Mu I* Eager For Hit Meal, ud Feels Much Better. 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.
