Scliool Trustees Call Election
On Bond Issue.
At a meeting of the trustee of
Cleveland High Scliool Monday
afternoon a petition signed by
over one hundred patrons of Cleve¬
land school was read, and after dis¬
cussing the question pro and con a
motion calling at election at as
early a date as possible carried un¬
animously. The advertisement
calling the election will appear in
The Courier for next week. The
amount of bonds to be issued has
not yet been decided, but it seems
to be the intention of the trustees
to vote sufficient bonds to erect a
creditable, but not unneccessarily
large, building, and equip it with
strong furniture.
This is another stride on the pro¬
gressive road for Cleveland. We
have a railroad giving us the very
best service that could be desired,
and if we live up to the conditions
which surround us, we must awak¬
en from our lethargy and push to
the front. To give the rising gen¬
eration of this country good educa¬
tion means leading men and women
tor these hills will become shinging
lights in America’s future. The
old saying, ‘‘where ignorance is
bliss, ’tis tolly to be wise,” crn al¬
ways be relied upon. The world
must become more and more en¬
lightened with every generation,
and the only way to keep the light
shining bright is to keep pouring
water on ttie fire of ignorance by
the application of better schools
and better methods of teaching.
Warren Grice Asks
You to Continue Him
As Attorney General
To the People of Georgia:
I have been serving as
Attorney General since
April 15th, filling an unex
pired ’term. In order,
faithfully, to discharge my
official duties I have been
unable to make a personal
canvass of the State. I
prefer to remain at my post
rather than to seek to fur
ther my political interests
neglect of my duties'in this .
Since leaving Mercer Uni-
20 years ago, I have engaged in the active
practice of law. I ask your support on my record as
a lawyer, and on my record a.s Attorney General.
The duties of this office are unusually important.
The Attorney General not only has to represent the
State in all murder cases before the Supreme Court,
but he is also charged with the care and responsibility
of guarding the interests of the State, in various tax
cases before the United States courts, and in winding
up insolvent banks and insurance companies. The duties
formerly devolving upon a special attorney for the
Western & Atlantic Railroad are now by law added
to this office, and upon your Attorney General devolves
the protection of the State’s interest in this great prop¬
erty. Almost daily he is called upon to render opinions
on important questions of State to the Governor and
other State House officers. From this you see the im¬
portance of this office, with the duties of which I have
now become thoroughly familiar. If, upon investiga¬
tion of my record, you believe me worthy and qualified
to discharge these duties, I will gratefully appreciate
your endorsement at the polls.

V bile Charlie Mize, of near
Commence in Banks county, was

was scarcely any clothing left upon
j the boy’s body which was bruised
and terribly mangled. Charlie was
a nephew of Mr. C. E. Ward,

out the state.
Macon Telegraph: Mr. Stephens is
considered a lawyer of ability and
character, and with the judicial tem¬
perament. His friends say that he
would make an ideal judge, able,
strong arid fearless. He is an author¬
ity on law, and every one who knows
him is confident that as far as ability
is concerned, there is no one in Geor¬
gia better qualified to fill the high
office to which he aspires.

OPPOSES LA WLESSNESS
Says Labor Has a Right to Organize;
Favors Separation of (Church
and State; Stands For Parcel Post
and Rural Credits; Against Ne¬
groes in Office; Favors Literacy
Test on Immigration.
To The People of Georgia:
The strength of the govern¬
ment of a free people lies in the
deliberate making and the fear¬
less and impartial enforcement of
just laws. Preference for a class
and fear of a class by those who
make and administer the laws are
alike odious to all who hold jus
tice as a basic principle and not
the temporary expedient of the
opportunist
So believing, I pledge myself,
if elected to the United States
Senate, to introduce and press
bills for enactment into laws, for
forcing the labor unions, a large
majority of whose members are
foreign born, to obey the laws areI in :
the same manner as they
obeyed by all other citizens of I
this republic. Laboring people
have a perfect right to
these unions, but they should be
incorporated and put under the
same penalties as are provided !
for common carriers, since it is a
matter of common knowledge
that they obstruct or prevent the
operation of the common carriers.
I favor greater restrictions on
immigrati ,n. Too many unde
sirable foreigners are now enter
ing the United States. I believe
a and literacy test should be applied,
that all failing in this should
be debarred.
I believe that reverence for re¬
ligion should 1 be fostered, and
