The primary of the nth was
quite interesting and, to those who
will allow their brains to indulge
in unprejudiced thought, very in¬
structive, especially so in the sena¬
torial race.
We all remember well that Sen¬
ator Hardwick secured bis first and
last nomination to the senate by the
“steam roller” process. The mat)
who has now defeated him (Win.
J. Harris) was one in that conven¬
tion. Senator Hoke Smith came
all the way from Washington to
attend that convention in the in¬
terest of Mr. Hardwick. There
were many other men (of smaller
caliber than Senator Smith) who
helped keep up the steam that
FORCED the roller to success.
Rut Mr. Hardwick was not equal
to the task, arid his friends soon
lost confidence and became asham¬
ed of him, and now the loyal citi¬
zens of Georgia have cast him out.
Germany spent millions in spread¬
ing her propaganda but, thanks
to Georgian intelligence arid her
keen sense of honor, the game is
more difficult to play in Georgia
that she (Germany) suspected.
Rut let us compare White courtly
with its neighbor, Rabun, for a
moment. White county voted a
plurality of fifty-four for Mr.Hard¬
wick. In all of Rabun county he
received eight votes?
Are not the interests of the
people of Rabun and White coun¬
ties one and tlie same in national
representation ? There can be no
difierence—there is no difference.
Our interests being one then one
of these counties gave a majority
against its own interest, and we
leave it for you to say which one it
was.
Somebody was misled, and they
in turn misled others—but why
were we or they misled with the
facts laid bare before us?
One cannot believe that a major¬
ity of those voting in White coun¬
ty in the primary willfully voted
against the interest of the nation of
which they are a part. That is
absurd!
Rut permit me to tell you what is
not absurd :
Because of the dealing of men
intelligence with men of less
telligence—perhaps we should
said misdealing—confidence
tween these two elements has
shaken, and when an appeal to
public is sincerely made the
ity is questioned and the results
satisfactory.
There is no better guide than
telligence, when that
is clothed in purity of purpose.
Neither is there a more
ous guide than intelligence
in the cloak of deception.
Hence it is that regardless of
integrity and honor of an
ual, political party or what not,
less they enjoy
of the people they cannot

position in its endeavor to create
new congressional regime, but
Bell has been found
stronger and stronger until, in
recent primary, instead of
home to the
mained at his post of duty inWash
ington giving his attention to such
legislative measures as vitally con¬
cerned his district and the nation,
while the candidate for his seat
thoroughly canvassed the district.
Mr. Bell lost Gwinnet county (the
home county of his opponent ) by
87 votes, and the county of For¬
syth (the home county of his cam¬
paign manager) by 17 votes.
The only explanation we can
offer is CONFIDENCE, and it
does seem that Mr, Bell lives in the
hearts of the people, and the hearts
of the people live in him.

Wheat is the most important War Crop.
?
Until its production is increased still more
there will not be enough to remove the dan¬
ger of a Food Shortage from the Front.
Of twelve most important Food Crops, the entire
country gained in planted acreage in 1917 over acreage of
1914—26,184,000 acres.
Of this gain the Southern States increased 14,965,000
acres or 57 per cent of the whole.
Of the individual crops the South gained:
In Wheat—1,976,000 acres, or 56 per cent of the whole.
In Corn—6,582,000 acres, or 41 per cent of the whole.
In Other Food Crops—6,407,000 acres, or 37 per cent
of the whole.
Of the Fall wheat acreage of 1918 there was an in¬
crease of 3,067,000 acres, of which the South gained 2,382,
000 acres, or 76 per cent
But we can do still better in 1919.
Let’s back up Our Boys in France. It is no less our
duty to furnish them and our allies food than it is their
duty to fight. We are raising this fall an ample cotton crop
to clothe and provide edible fats and oils for our boys. Let
us raise a big grain crop next spring to help feed them.
It can be done. The labor requirements are compara¬
tively small, and the acre yields may be increased with good
seed, a well prepared seed bed and a liberal application, of
proper fertilizers.
