Miss Adelaide Bulgin Named Bj Republicans
0! Macon Count; (N. C.) As Tbelr
Canldate For Represents.
For the first time in the history
of Macon County, we have a
woman candidate for office to be
voted on at a general election.
At a special call meeting of the
Republican Executive Committee
of Macon County, held last Satur¬
day, Miss Adelaide Bulgin was
unanimously chosen as the nominee
of that party for Representative.
This action was made necessary
because of the fact that Mr. Lewis
Angel, who was nominated by the
party at the convention held several
weeks ago, for business and
personal reasons declined to make
the race, so the executive commit¬
tee bad to choose a new candidate.
Miss Bulgin is well known to the
people of our county, having served
in the capacity of County Home
Demonstration Agent for several
years, and has also taught school
for several years in this and other
counties. She was one of the
teachers in the Franklin Graded
School last year, and is said to be
one of the most efficient teachers
ever engaged here.
It is reported that when Miss
Bulgin was notified of the action of
the committee in selecting her for
this place, her first words were
•■This is so sudden!" But a lot of
women before her have used those
same words when notified of the
fact that they had been selected for
positions more or less important.
Miss Bulgin has accepted the nomi¬
nation and will make the race.
She has not yet announced her
platform, except to say that she
expects to work for the best inter
ests of ull the people of Macon
County.—The Franklin Press.
We see from the Cleveland pa¬
per thst Mr. F. G. Jones of White
Co. is a canidate for the senate for
White, Lumpkin and Dawson
Counties. Mr. Jones is a fine
man and a man of broad experience
and will make a good senator. We
hope to see him nominated rnd
from what we can hear we believe
that he will be.—Cosmopolite.

Mrs, H. A. Jarrard Dies In
Gainesville Sunday Morning
That much beloved woman, Mrs.
H, A. Jarrard, who was before
being stricken with paralysis in
December, 1914, was such a great
influence for the good town, died
at the home of her son-in-law, Mr.
G. H. Walker, Gainesville, Sunday
morning at 4 o’clock, after a
sedond stroke of paralysis.
Mrs. Jarrard was the daughter
of the late Mr. and Mrs. W. B.
Bell, and was born in White Co.
59 years ago at the home of her
grandparents a few miles from
Cleveland.
She possesed such a lovable nat¬
ure that to know her was to love
her. She joined the Methodist
church when quite young and
rendered much service and left a
never-dying influence in her Christ¬
ian work that will pass down
through the |val!ey of time from
generation to generation.
All the care and love that skill¬
ed physicians and an axious house¬
hold could devise and apply tor her
comfort and assistance were
brought into play, but the fate of
Him who rules our incoming and
outgoings had been issued, despite
the prryers and entreaties of all
who knew and loved her, their
appeals were over ruled and before
the beautiful Sunday morning of
September 3ri was kissed by the
rising sun, the sufferers spirit took
its flight to that home the Christ¬
ian believes is the fullfilment of
tlie everlasting.
The funeral was conducted by
Rev. T. R Kendall, assisted by
Rev Wm. Greenway, at the home
of Mr. Jarrard Monday afternoon
at 4 o’clock where a large congreg
of friends and loved ones had
geathered, and the remains were
laid to rest in Cleveland Cemetery.
She is survived by her husband;
six sons, Mesrs. Harry Jarrard of
Fayette, N. C.; Walter, of Calif.;
Eugene ot Atlanta ; C. C., A, J.
and L. H. of this city; two
daughters, Mrs. G. H. Wrlker, of

To the Voters.
Several people have ask m
about who is the proper ones to
vote for to serve as committee.
The State Executive Committee
rulings says that the ones entitled
to hold the places are those that
will vote both state and national
democratic ticket. It would not
be right to elect, men on the com
mittee that will not stand by the
justice. With best wishes to all
the voters in getting good men for
all the offices.

To the Voters of White County :
Ladies and Gentlemen.
The rumors which have been
current over the county involving
myself'have been proven absolutely
false and without foundation what¬
ever by sworn affidavits from some
of as good men as live in the county.
I want to emphasize the fact
once more that it is as false as false
can possibly be, and I sincerely
trust that the people will repudiate
the slander at the polls on Sept.,
13th, which I believe they will do.
The false was conceived by some
of my political enemies, and is
corculated by my opponents,“they
say it is a fact,’’ as they carry it
from one ear to another.
I simply propose to run this race
to the finish with clean hands and
clean lips, and 1 sincerely believe
the men women are going to vote
for me in sufficient numbers to
assure me of the nomination and
ultimate election.
I was born and reared on a farm
in White County, Georgia, and 1
now live on the farm. I merely
mention this so that all people may
know that my interest is in White
County, and I propose, if elected,
to represent this section of Georgia
Yours very truly,
John K. Kenimbr.

To the Voters of the Northeastern Circuit:
In making my announcement for Judge of the Northeastern
Circuit, this the second time, I having made the race for Judge at
the last election, I do so, believing that the voters desire a change
in the judgeship, and it is my worthy ambition to become your Judge.
Conditions have changed since I ran before. At that time the
world war was on us, and a majority of the people seemed to have
thought it best not to make any changes in the offices, and most of
the officeholders were retained in office without much thought
being given their efficiency, competency, or whether their records
were satisfactory or not. However, conditions have now changed
and times are about normal, peace has been declared and war is
no more.
The present Judge has been on the bench twelve years and has
drawn from the people for his services $48,000.00. No doubt he
has done the best he could, but, having done the best he could,
not only has he failed to reduce the number of undisposed of
cases on the dockets of your Courts, but today the number of cases
and have witnesses practically have doubled been forced in number. to attend The Court result from is that to parties
term term
and from year to year without accomplishing anything.• Many times
this delay has proven costly in dollars and cents to litigants to
whom money was due, because before a trial could be had and
wasted, judgment^&ecured disposed of the property else placed and beyond assets the of the reach debtor of have judgment. been
or a
Witnesses are compelled to attend court but they ought i)°t to be
rain, compelled to keep on coming back, Judge, often times would through mud and
with no compensation. As I see that cases
were set for trial on a definite day, and would see that they were
tried at the time appointed. The object of a Court is to promptly
dispose of all legal business brought before it, and to accommplish
this I shall have no other business or interests other than that of
faithfully fulfilling the office of Judge. The Northeastern circuit
is with composed its business of nine and counties, population having increasing a population from of about to year, 75,000, and
giving year
it will require the best efforts of a Judge, his dispose full time of all to
the office, to faithfully and promptly consider and
matters brought before him.
There are certain matters to be heard by the Judge without a
jury, such as motions for a new trial, injunctions, determine certiorari, such de¬
murrers, etc., and I propose to hear and all matters
in vacation time, and not wait until Court convenes in regular ses¬
sion, and run the taxpayers to an expense to pay for the operation
of a court, while these matters are being disposed of, when the
proper time to have disposed of them was before Court convened
with its heavy daily expense.
Furthermore, when Court is in session, in order to more fully
expedite the business of the Court, I Bhall use each jury empanelled
for the full six days in the week, or until all business triable at that
time is disposed of, therefore, the Court will always be ready for
business, with a jury waiting.
I propose to call the criminal docket myself to take all such
cases in their order and dispose of them with the exception of jail
cases which will be promptly tried.
This is the first time in the history of our politics where the
ladies of the Circuit have participated in the election of the Judge,
and I earnestly solicit the support and vote of all these new voters,
and to them I promise, as I have to all voters, to faithfully and
impartially discharge the duties of the high office of Judge.
Born in the mountains of Georgia, during the days when schools
were few and money was scarce, I had very little opportunity and
means of getting an education in my youth. What I have learned
I have dug out since my early manhood, and in the university of
hard knocks and experience, where so many others of my fellow
countrymen who came along in this age with me have gained condi¬ what
they know. By hard work and diligent study under adverse
tions I have attained whatever successful results in life I have ac¬
complished in my profession. It is my ambition to crown my long
years of legal experience with the honor of the judgeship and field of the of
Northeastern circuit, which has always been my home
activity and where the people know me, and know the principles -
which I have always stood for, and I want your help and support
and co-operation in helping me to attain that to which I aspire,
the office of Judge.
I believe I am qualified for the office. For thirty-three years I
have practiced law at Clarkesville in the Northeastern Circuit.
My long experience at the bar and in court, together with my ob¬
servation of Courts the various judges, and my long; and daily close
contact with the people, will enable me to be an efficient judge, and
to adopt the best methods and rules for conducting a Court.
The area of nine counties comprising the Northeastern Circuit
is much larger than the whole state of Delaware and approximately Naturally, I
twice as large as the entire state of Rhode Island.
shall not have the opportunity to see and personally solicit all the
voters of the Circuit, but I take this means of asking all of you to
vote for and support me.
And I request my friends and supporters to stand firm, work and
go to the polls and to persuade their neighbors and friends to vote
for the man who will give them an efficient and business adminis¬
tration as Judge, and I feel confident that we will win this race,
and I shall always appreciate and be grateful to you for your votes
and your help.
J. C. EDWARDS.
