The War Industries, hoard has
issued rules regulating weekly
newspapers, and, being loyal to the
people by supporting the govern¬
ment in donating a large per cent
<?f our advertising "space to liberty
bond and other campaigns, we will
most assuredly be found complying
with the wish of the War Indus¬
tries board, regardless of what it
may cost this newspaper.
To be other than faithful to the
call made upon us be not only
criminal, but disloyal, and to be
disloyal would be pro-German, and
to be pro-German would be patting
the kaiser on the back—and we are
not constituted of that kind of ilesh
and blood—nor the lack of brains.
To comply with these rules will
bring a hardship upon us if our
subscribers do not promptly meet
the requirements of these rules in
so far us they apply to them, but
we frankly admit that your refusal
to comply does in no sense mean
that you are disloyal, or anything
approaching it
You have the free privilege to do
just as you choose, but inasmuch as
you fail upon your part to comply
with these rules you bring upon
the publisher a hardship.
The War Industries board has
placed no unnecessary burden upon
publishers of weekly newspapers,
lienee no kick going out from the
Courier.
There has been no unnecessary
burden thrown upon subscribers—
any kick coming from you?
There are a number of rules by
which publishers are to be regulat¬
ed.
There is but one with which you
are asked to comply, and that one
is that you pay your subscription in
ADVANCE.
It is no longer a question wheth¬
er we will credit you, as we must
not send out copies of our paper to
persons in arrears after September
31st. Therefore, our subscribers
must not expect us to keep their
names on our mailing list after that
date unless their subscriptions are
paid in advance.
It has been our pleasure to do a
satisfactory credit business with
many of our subscribers, and we
hope that in future the “pay in ad¬
vance” policy will be equally as
pleasant.
We have hundreds of subscribers
who are in arrears, and these we
urgently request to pay up and re¬
new not later than Sept. 31st—
better do it now.
There has been times when we
could have a good deal of fun in
political campaigns—but it is not
now.
Broad and many are the ways
that lead to destruction,but narrow
is the way that leads to life—and
this is true in the present senatorial
muddle.
Personal ambition is to be ad¬
mired when coupled with harmony,
and the men who are making this
race for any other purpose than
that of strengthening our unity, are
doing what they can to drive the
state to shame and degradation
that they may be honored and the
helmet of the kaiser adorned with
another plume.
IIow fortunate it is that a presi¬
dent elected by the democratic
party now presides over the nation.
A pretty strong statement, eh?
And thanks to ex-president Roose¬
velt for the position he took in the re-!
election that so utterly split the
publican party that made the dem
ocratic party’s candidate’s election I
possible—and more than that do i
we thank the all-wise Ruler of the j
universe from the innermost depths
of our soul that He so guided the
destiny of this nation and permitt
ed it to be so. Some more strong
statement, you’ll think. Yes, but I
well founded upon truth and es¬
tablished in the waters of righteous¬
ness.
Dear old Georgia is writhing and
struggling in the political cesspool
of rottenness, trying to clean her¬
self of the stains of disloyalty—and
that under a president elected by
the democratic party ; and Georgia
has never been anything but demo¬
cratic in national politics.
Suppose, for a moment, that we
had a republican administration—
a president elected by the republic
an party? What would be the
political situation in Georgia to¬
day? Can’t you see that we would
have been suffering a much greater
political strife than lias been known
since the days of the sixties? This
is a fact staring us in the face, but
because of our blindness have been
unable to see. and the whole South
would have been standing on the
edge of the precipice of revolution,
if we had not actually been engaged
in this most destructive of all con¬
ditions.
Therefore, iny fellow-citizens,
you have God to thank that the
political strife is no worse than it
is, and that your homes are as safe
from intrusion as what they are.
What are the republicans of tiie
east doing? They are standing
like a wall with the democrats to
the back of the administration,
knowing there is no other place for
loyal citizens.
Let me admonish you, now of all
times is no time to scrap amongst
ourselves. This is a time when
no man should rend asunder the
ties that bind this nation in the
joyful folds of unity, for only in
unity is their strength.
To be loyal now means you will
ever be proud of it ; to fail now in
your duty to freedom and righteous¬
ness is to ever afterwards regret it.
You would not willfully walk
the way of error and be guilty of
placing a stumbling-block in the
path of your son, or your neigh¬
bor’s son—perhaps in your own
path ere the fight is ended—as lie
faces the triuls and the dangers,
that you and that I, and those that
live after he and us, may enjoy
greater blessings of every kind than
we had ever hoped for, but do you
realize that this is exactly what
(unconsciously) some amongst us
are going to do. It is because of
this that we come to you with this
appeal to guard yourself against
wallowing in the mire of political
error to'gratity personal prejudice.
This is not a political play be¬
tween man and man. It is a game
being bitterly waged between
union and disunion—a vote for
the fundamental principles under¬
lying the Constitution of the I'nit
ed States of America, or a vote
for the power upon which is estab¬
lished German militarism.

This newspaper has received for \
publication in this issue enough
political matter to fill double the
amount of space we have. Some
of this matter is “last chance”
matter. We have neither the space
for this matter, nor the inclination j
to become a party to the spreading i
of unclean politics merely for dol¬
lars, hence we do not publish them,
but rather do we issue a warning,
against campaign lies on the eve of
the primary, and bear in mind that
a man’s religion is no more than it
proves to be in politics.

is of the greatest concern to me. To re¬
indeed, present you honor. in the National House is,
au At this time there are
grave duties and responsibilities to be
assumed by your congressman.
The world is engaged in a titanic
struggle for supremacy; a conflict be¬
tween right and wrong, truth and false¬
hood. democracy and autocracy. The
United States has never met defeat, al¬
though our heritage has come to us
through many a bloody battlefield and
over unnumbered slain. Our greatest,
eftorts should be to preserve for our
children and our children’s childaen that
freedom we now enjoy,
To accomplish this it is of the greatest
importance that our people should be true
to the principles of democracy and es¬
pecially that your congressmen shall not
only be patriotic and loyal,but outspoken
ami persistent in their efforts to uphold
the arms of authority. They should not
waiver, nor should they lack in that
courage to go and perform where duty
calls.
True Americanism is not only an ideal,
it is a living, breathing virtue that shall
save our country. I promise you that
virtue, to live it, breathe it and promul¬
gate it wherever I go. If you trust me I
shall not fail you.
In making this announcement I wish
to assure you that your influence and
support will be greatly appreciated,
flay 7, 1 018, Respectfully yours,
Daeula, Ga. R. p. JACKSON.

Gainesville Bar in said circuit, I have a
strong desire to be of real service to you,
and if honored by election to this high
office, it shall be my purpose to make

my efforts in every good work tending
to that end.

make it impossible for tneOo make a per¬
sonal canvass, and I therefore, by this
announcement, appeal to every patriotic
citizen to look after my interests in their
respective localities, and I take this
method of thanking them in advance.
Very truly,
Robert McMilliax,
