THE CLEVEL
VOL. XV, No. 39.1
Grey Haired Soldier 0! Sixties
Thanks Lumsden.
Mr. Etfifor:
Will you please let me have a
little space in your paper to return
thanks to Mr. Ltynsden for his op¬
en expression made in regard to
the issue between Tom Hell and
Col. Charters. Every one knows,
who knows anything of his own
condition, that when you want
help you must ask those-that have
always proved witling to help. It
is evidently true that the farmers
have been striving for the good of
those by whom they have
been hated, and have marched even
without a murmur joyfully to death
over such mistakes as we now have
tire opportunity to make. At the
commencement of the war 1 heard
a good lawyer say in public that he
could wipe up all the blood that
would he >pilled in the war with a
white handkerchief. Before the
war was over 1 found that he was
many times mistaken, for in one
b ittle there fell eight thousand men
whose flesh had been pierced by
buttlets. Could this lawyer have
saved upon a white handkerchief
all the blood that was spiled-there.?
No, he could not have got it all in
a barrel. 1 say 7 to the farmers,hold
fast to the man that stands for you,
and vote for Tom Bell. The com¬
mon people are largely in the ma¬
jority. and if they will stand tirin'
to get her that will re-elect their
friend. In justice to Mr. Lumsden
I will say that he is right, and I
1-hunk him for his encouragement
to the common people of the ninth
congressional district.
Respectfully,

paragement to any of my predecessors, what the department lias done
under my administration the past twelve months.
As Commissioner of Agriculture, my duties have involved the in¬
spection and regulation of the sale of fertilizers, illuminating oils and
gasoline; carrying out the provisions and requirements ol llie pure
food and pure feed laws; the work of a department, of animal husband¬
ry with an expert veterinarian in charge, and the far-reaching activi¬
ties of the State Department of Entomology.
During the first FIVE months of the present year 11,109 samples
of fertilizers were taken, an increase of 1,584 samples, as compared
with the ENTIRE year of 1913. Of this number 2,672 were of the
-special” kind, in which reports of analyses are sent direct to the
farmer in order that he may know the results before the official bulle¬
tin is issued; and this number exceeded by 1,035 the total number of
special samples taken in any previous season, meaning that more than
1,000 more farmers were given the advantage of special reports
on their fertilizer purchases. used for the education
I have turned into the State Treasury to be
of the farmer boys and girls of Georgia more money than has ever
been turned in by the State Department of Agriculture for a similar
period. 30, 1914, have analyzed 1,196 sam¬

ples of foods, feedstuffs and drugs. Results of analyses have in every
instance been sent to both manufacturer and consumer.
The work accomplished by the State Entomologist, the State Veteri¬
narian and the State Oil Inspector in their respective departments, lias
been equally notable and a full account of it is given in my annual
report to the Governor.
I am urging and shall continue to urge the enactment of legislation
that will strengthen the work of the department and render more effect¬
ive existing laws relative to pure foods, feedstuffs, fertilizers and pre¬
vention of infection to plants and animals.
it is my desire to have the Department of Agriculture render in¬
creasingly active and effective aid in the development of this, one of
the greatest agricultural sections in the world. I am confident that
the scope and usefulness of the department can be steadily increased
along all lines, and to this end I pledge my earnest and faithful service
in the event you give me your endorsement at the polls on August 19th.
In addition to the record of what the department has accomplished
during my administration, there are three points in my personal record
which, 1 believe, bear directly on the issue in this primary;

always been an organized Democrat and can point to a record of life
long loyalty to the party. of Agriculture who is not
I am the only candidate for Commissioner
and has never been connected with any fertilizer or guano company.
I am the only candidate for Commissioner of Agriculture who is a
practical farmer. I have farmed all my life and I derive my living from
the farm. The law which created the Department of Agriculture ex
pressly states that the Commissioner must be a “practical farmer.”
Both on my personal record, therefore, and on the record of what the
department has accomplished during the past year, I ask your sup¬
port at the polls on August 19, and pledge you my earnest and faith¬
ful service in the event I am re-elected.

Man Stot To Death In Tent
*
Hear Helen.
Saturday night while a' man
named Shelmit (foreman of con¬
struction on train road) was in his
tent in the lumber camps near Hel¬
en, White county, he was shot
dead. An investigation was made
by the officers, which included
Sheriff Trotter, and an arrest was
effected without a warrant, believ¬
ing that Lester Ilarrison was the
man who had done the awful deed
from tlie statement made bv a ne¬
gro. When the time arrived for
trial there was no one to swear out
a warrant, and the Justice of the
Peace dismissed the case and re¬
leased the prisoner. At this Mr.
Trotter became indignant, since he
had lost time and wasted his money
working up the case, and turn
ing to his prisoner said : “Go to the
mountains, and kill just as many as
you want to.” Doubtless there is
as much law in Helen and vicinity
as elsewhere in the state, but .it
certainly tooks^a# though it is not
enforced, it is really a pity that
such conditions exist within the
borders,;oF'\i county bearinging such
a spotless name as “White.” ■'

To the People of Georgia:
I want you to know that I
am a candidate for re-election as Com¬
missioner of Agriculture. In view of
the fact that the duties of my office
make it impossible for me to get into
every county of the State, 1 take this
opportunity of ’appealing to you for your
endorsement and base my plea solely
on what has been done by the Depart¬
ment during my administration.
I am a practical farmer and have fol¬
lowed this occupation all my life. It
was natural, therefore, that T should
feel a keen interest in the problems con
fronting the farmers of Georgia. I
went into the Department with an ambi
tlon to be of practical service to the
thousands of Georgians engaged in agri
culture, stock raising and similar pursuits.
Let me tell you briefly, without dis-

WHY THE DISPATCH
IS FOR SLATON
(From the Cordele, Ga., Dispatch)
1st. He is a constructive statesman and believes in
the people of Georgia with his whole heart and stands
for bettering their prosperity and happiness at all
times.
2d. Because he has an experience of twenty years
before the people and the record for that time shows
no blemish, but does show that he has shaped some
of the best legislation for the betterment of the peo¬
ple.
3d. Because that during the whole period of his
public life no man can lay his hand on a single unworthy
or ignoble act or anything that would reflect the slight¬
est discredit on himself or his State.
4th. Because he is a conservative reformer, who
believes in giving ear to every individual and every
interest in his State and then performing duty with
the highest purposes of justice and right.
5th. Because he loves peace and would rather ac¬
complish a right with kindness and diplomacy than
to have an ugly knock-down and drag-out fight.
6th. Because he has good, sound, safe judgment on
all questions.
7th. Because he is loyal to his friends and mag¬
nanimous with his enemies, without any vindictive
spirit of revenge.
8th. Because he is a Christian gentleman and has
helped to do some good by teaching a Sunday school
class for twenty years.
* 9th. Because he will carry weight, credit, respon¬
sibility, honor and respect to the United States Senate.
10th. Because he is by far the best man in the
race for the Senate.
Any one of the above reasons is sufficient to justify
the election of SLATON to the United States Senate.
We call particular attention to the tenth reason.
SLATON is safe, SLATON is sound, SLATON is pro¬
gressive, SLATON is trained, SLATON is tried, SLA¬
TON is true.
