a large part in forming as a mem
ber of that august body, the United
States Senate, of which he has been
•*» member since President Roose
velt was inaugurated as the Chief
Executive of these United States.
Former Senator Hardwick has
now retired to private life and is
engaged in the practice of his pro
fession of law. I had not seen him in
a long time. He is in fine health and
more recently has been engaged as
counsel for the House committee In
vestigating "the extent, character
and object of Nazi propaganda in
the U. S. and diffusion within the
United States of subverice propa
ganda." His ability as a lawyer is
unquestioned. He is known as a stick
ler for the constitution und in and
ou* of congress he has had many n
till with other learned and able men
over its interpretations that at
tracted more tiian passing attention.
Few men in the public life of the
nation have more valiantly and
forcefully stood by their convictions
than Tom Hardwick. He was "the
stormy petrel" of Georgia politics
in his hey day and he knows both
the elation of victory and the sor
row of defeat. He asked for no quar
ter and gave none, and when he was
nominated far United States Sena
tor at the Macon convention his fol
lowers proudly bore a "Game Cock"

Tom Hardwick's undoing
United States Senator in the Wood-
row Wilson administration
opposition to some of the Wilson
policies in the war period. The
try was at war and while the people
of the United Staes are not war like
and really did not want to get into
U»e world conflict, once they were
in they placed every resource at the
command of the President for its
speedy termination. Tom Hardwick
could not "stomach" it all and
result he fought with evrey ounce
of his wonderful ability for what he
conceived to be his duty. The re
sults was that the late William J
Harris, with the support of the ad
ministration, was declared the vic
tor for the Senate and Tom Hard
wick was retired to private life.
There came, in due time, the back
wash of pent-up resentment acainrt
the Wilson League of Nat!
which Hardwick was a lo-.d- r. To.n
Watson, r-f whom Hardwick V
formerly been a bitter opponent
his congressional davs in the
Tenth, had fanned to fury this
sentment and they joined hands
one of the fircest fights Georgia has
ever known. Watson ns a candidate
for the Senate and Hardwick
candidate for Governor. Up and
down the state they went fanning
the burning embers of hate and re
sentment against the Wilson regime
with the result that both triumphed
at the polls.
We have gone a long way since
then. Harding, Coolidgc and Hoover
have come and gone as Presidents,
and Franklin Roosevelt is here with
the "New Deal". Hoke Smith, Wat
son and Bill Harris have passed
as United States Senators, and there
has been almost a complete turn
over in the Georgia delegation in
congress. Cliff Walker. Hard
man. "Little Dick" and "Gent" hav
held down the Governorship, and
right now we are in the midst of :
rough and tumble between "Gene'
and "Claude.” Politics, politics, poli
tics! Tom Hardwick, for many years
in the thick of it, is now sitting
serenely on the side lines and
joying it.

ESSENTIAL FOODS CAN
BE GROWN M WINTER
Taking sulphur and molasses in
the spring will not be necessary if
a good supply of vegetables is pro
vided during the winter months, says
Miss Susan Mathews, nutritionist at
the University College of Agricul
ture. Besides, it will cut the grocery
bill, aid growth in the children and
promote the health of the entire
family.
"Now is the time to be getting the
winter garden planted,” continued
Miss Mathews, “and plenty of green
and yellow vegetables should be in
cluded. String beans, cabbage, cdl-
lards, lettuce, mustard, rape, spinach,
turnips and carrots are some of the
crops that can be grown, and they
are rich in vitamin A, which pre
vents infection of various kinds as
winter comes on.”
The planting of foods which can
be eaten raw is urged. These foods
provide vitamin C, which is essential
to the health of everyone and which
is difficult to obtain in winter. Let
tuce. cabbage, carrots and onions
may be planted to furnish this vi
tamin.
A large variety of vegetables
should be planted in the fall, and
thay can be used plentifully in the
diet. In addition to furnishing vita
mins the fall vegetables will also
supply liberal amounts of minerals
which are essential in blood build
ing. It is important that vegetables
be included in the school lunch as
well as in the regular menu for din
ner ana supper.

When Theodore Jones, 16, and
Henry Grob, 15, started digging a
hole in a cellar at Baltimore, Md.,
they never dreamed of finding bur
ied treasure.
Before long, however, the boys
had struck a pot of gold—$11,000 in
gold coins. They don’t know whether
the gold belongs to them or not. The
police are holding it temporarily.
The two were digging in a cellar
at the Jones home to bury trinWr.*.

thing hard.
"Look," he said, “here’s a medal ’•
"You’re crazy," shouted Groh
“that’s a $20 gold piece!”
It was planned to bank the coins
but Grob’s brother-in-law recalled
the federal title to all geld in the
nation. So the youths took it to a
police station.
Legal authorities were puzzled ai
to whom the money belonged.
