The King of Spain has talked for

earlier than to be expected
many democratic women, who at the
begnining of this campaign were
silent, now are taking positive and
outspoken stands in support of our
party. They have been impressed by
the unreasonable and impossible po
sition to which the few dissatisfied
ones would lead them into and they
have not only refused to joi
group but are boldly assisting
support of our Democratic Purty.
These democrats, like myself, know
that they cannot afford to submit to

Rev. J. R. King, pastor of the French and SpanisV ports.

around Milledgeville.
Many Prominent Men Through
out Nation Break Life-Long
Party Ties.
Hundreds of life-long Republicans,
many of them of national prominence,
ore swelling each day the vast army of
voters who believe that it Is the duty
of every thinking American to support
Governor Smith.
Among the most recent of leading
Republicans who have publicly
pudlated the Republican candidate
Rudolph Sprockets, widely known
banker and business man of San
Francisco, owner of huge sugar plan
tations la Hawaii, and formerly a
close friend and adviser of President

Another Republican banker to Join

Western Farm Leaders
Frank W. Murphy, chairman of the
Legislative Committee of the Corn
Bolt Federation of Farm Organiza
tions, and a member of the Minnesota
delegation to the Republican Conven
tion, has renounced allegiance to his
party and repudiated Hoover as “an
enemy of the farmer.”
Other farm leaders to bolt the Re
publican party were Governor Adam
McMullen, Republican Executive of
Nebraska, and L. F. Shultleworth, of
Indianapolis, former head cf tho pur
chasing committee of the Indiana Fed
eration of Farm Bureaus.
“YOUTH ENDANGERED”
PHILADELPHIA.—James F. Lucas,
vice president of the Lucas Paint und
Brush Company of Philadelphia, a
well-known Republican fer fifty years,
has announced that he Is "opposed
hypocrisy” and, accordingly, opposed
to the election of Herbert Hoover. He
added:
•*I shall vote for Governor Smith be
cause I believe his election would end
conditions which are endangering the
future of tho younger generation."
DANIELS REBUKES STRATON
RALEIGH, N. C.—Rebuking Dr.
John Roach Straton for expressing
the belief that “ay old friend."
Josephus Daniels, would bolt the
Democratic party, the former Sec
retary of the Navy has again empba
tically declared. In a letter to the New
York pastor, that he will support Gov
ernor Smith. Mr. Daniels wrote:
"I believe I can serve the causi
prohibition and temperance betteT by
remaining In my party than by sup
porting Mr. Hoover, who sat in the
Cabinet with Harding with all the cor
ruptioa and with Coolidgo with all the
favoritism-the two administrations,
which, by flagrant failure to enforce
the law or to give it legal and moral
support, have done more to harm pro
hSbitlon than its open foes."
may drive as fast i
self, have driven 1
ty-four years.’’
Most important is the fact that
talking pictures will enable everybody
to see, study and know the most im
portant people on earth.
That really is progress.
The electron, mysterious, theoreti
cal, “smallest division of matter,” is
no imaginary “dot in space.” It pos
sesses definite size, revolving inside
the atom, as our earth revolves with
in the solar system.
We go around our sun once in
three hundred and sixty-five days.
The electron goes around ITS sun,
the nucleus at the centre of the atom,
billions of times every second.
You cannot imagine that, or be
lieve it, and you need not, but science
proves it to be a fact.
Recent important discoveries are
due to an Englishman, Professor
Thomson, and an American, Dr.
Davisson, of Columbia University,
and the big telephone company labor
atories.
The electron may not interest mod
erns, but it interests science and will
interest future ages more than this
Presidential election will, a good deal
A man looking through the l
is like a small boy in a menagerie
So much to see you have to run from
cage to cage, from the laughing hy
ena to the snorting hippopotamus,
and from the bar-shaking orang ou-
tang to the placid elephant.
Politics may be called the laugh
ing hyena of the human menagerie
and the crime wave is the orang out-
ang.
In his first address as president of
the British Association for the Ad
vancement of Science, Sir Wiliam
Bragg insists that man has a soul.
That is like saying there is steam in
i engine when it moves, physical
e in u man running and talking.
Science cannot PROVE the exi
ice of a soul, but proof isn’t neecs-
No man can prove he isn’t dream
ing as he talks to you, and many a
man dreaming has been certain he
was awake.
Three thnigs in the universe, mat
ter. force, spirit. Matter and force
may be one. At least they take dif
ferent forms. Force cannot act with
out matter. And only spirit CON-
CIOUSNESS can supply force to mat
ter and make things better.
The earth was a wilderness, until
human beings, each with his spaik
of consciousness, came to change it.
No “fortuitous concourse of
atoms” could produce the left hind
leg of a field mouse, much less the
brain of an Aristotle.
It is man’s work that counts, not
his ashes.
When kings came back after the
French Revolution they scattered
Voltaire’* ashes to the four winds.
And they picked the right man, for
it was he that put an end to French
king*-. They are gone. He remains.
They never succeeded in scattering
him while he lived. He worried them-
like. I my- . the walls adorning the homes of these
fast for twen- <r 0 od democrats today are portrait*
of these noble men and wopien of the
past whose generous Christian char
acters are objects of respect, affec
tion and reverence of their children.
Only a few of these living emblems
of that great past are still with
Hear the words of a W .C. T. U.
democrat of almot* one hundred
years of age:
“I deplore the attitude of some of
ir pulpiteers and of Southern
Methodist women, who have succeed
ed in getting on the Hoover electoral
ticket, Avith violent accusation ngainst
the Tammanynites who were brave
defenders of the South and where I
know they are now mistaken.
ioneer in W. C. T. U.
s n pioneer in temperanoe
work in this state. I joined at a W.
T. U. convention held in Macon
early in 1886, forty-two years ago. . .
If I am not the oldest of the militant
temperance women of the early day*,
ar the oldest in point of age.
So far as possible I held the banner
high for nearly half a century. I
am over 93 years old.
When I enlisted in the organization
it was non-political. I am grieved to
know that some Georgia women are
now drugging a clean, white, and
much honored organization into the
mire and filth of dirty politics, in a
mud slinging campaign.
I am acquainted with Mr. Work,
Mr. Hoover’s political manager,
am grateful to know that he denounc
ed the slanderous attacks on Gover
nor Al Smith’s character and
duct made by Preacher Straton in
New York and Atlanta at unworthy
of the notice of either party, . .
Theso are words of our own Mrs.
Rebcccu Latimer Felton, who has the
distinction also of being the only
woman in the world who has ever
been a Senator.
These intelligent democratic wo-
en \ Jters and supporters appreciate
that the efforts to arrive at a friend
ly and economic relationship in our
Southland now is about to be realiz
ed and they regret that these few
dissatisfied ones are willing to sacri
fice everything for their own par
ticular and personal views. Illustra
tive of the extremity that this fana
ticism forces them to, an effort is
being made to upset our social order
and some arc proclaiming publicly a
willingness to “swallow whole” a
prominent republican member of the
negro race,—an attitude not only
insulting tc( the tradition of our
Southland and repulsive to\ every
white democrat, but also regrettable
by the best members of the colored
race. Everybody knows that no
good can come out of such talk, but
it is fraught with evil. For this rca-
on also I am constantly being inform,
ed of these intelligent democratic
women boldly coming out in support
of our Democratic Party and are
lending their efforts to prevent the
horrible result that such fanaticism
and seditious uttitude n »st necessari
ly lead to.
And w e are to be congratulated
upon having the assurance of the
support of these many nohie-hearted
democratic women and their determi
nation to vote our democratic ticket
on November the 6th. They see the
subterfuge of joining this disaffect
ed group and they know that a vote
for he Republican Hoover, (no mat
ter what may be the prejudice and
no matter what may be the name
under which they call them-elves) is
a vote for the Republican Party.
I am thanking you for your help
in supportnig our Democratic Party.
Sincerely,
ERWIN SIBLEY,
Chairman Tenth District.
