people of White county formed
their opinion on who would be

That affable, genial and remark¬
able gentleman, James A, Hollo
Rion, has this to say, besides other

Georgia, in his “Just in Passing’’

tion :
“And thus it is all over the
Georgia mountains. In five years
the developments will be keeping
a close pace with western North

Think of the changes since 191s.
when 1 led a government road ex¬
pedition through these mountains
in order to cull the nation’s atten¬
tion to the fact that we had just as
beautiful a mountain country in
Georgia—for tourists, recreation
ists, health and rest seekers—as is
to be found in the world.
We have made progress in build¬
ing toad* since that day—just four
yeur ago. But we need more. W'e
need hard-surfaced roads every¬
where.
Georgia, with her great national
mountain forests, will become the
principal summer playground of
eastern America, when we get
paved highways."

as well as a sacred duty to give
him every county in this section
for any high office he desires.

sociation to meet in her town.More
than that, Mrs, Price can make a
strong and forceful speech. We
have heard her since she was suc¬

DeLaPERRIERE MAKING
CLEAN, WINNING TACE
FOR CONGRESS
Hon. H. P. DeLaPerriere, can¬
didate for Congress, was here again
this week. He fs making s nice,
clean race, has no criticism for his
opponents nor ar.y one else, and
for this reason is gaining strength.
At the start we thought the gentle¬
man would merely introduce him¬
self, but it begins to look now from
what we see and learn that he is
going to be elected. As we have
heretofore said, that Mr. DeLa¬
Perriere worked hard while on the
legislative committee for the N. G.
A. College. He wore no cloak,
but came out openly and boldly,
and made a strong appeal for an
increased appropriation for this
institution—helped our representa¬
tives in every way he could, suc¬
ceeded. We are going to show
our appreciation for what he has
done by casting our ballot for him
the 8th day of September if
alive and tjble to get to the polls.
The College is a state institution,
rendered many boys and girls able
to receive a collegiate education
who could not have received such
traiuiug without it. It has been a
oig help to Dahlonegu, Lumpkin
and adjoining counties aud the
state of Georgia, because it can be
attended with much less expense
than any other institution within
its borders. No doubt Mr. Bell
has rendered this College aid but
he ought not to expect all the pay

To the Citizens of tliia p-reiiit:
Without inquiry as to the wishes of
the people, I bad announced I would not

tbs people by petitions, letters and in
person, asking m« to run again. The
following quotations are from a few
these letters: “You ongbt to run because
the higher courts sustain your judge¬
ments and expenses are th retry saved.”
In another letter:”We want you because
you are not etuci-up and the poor man
e*u talk to you as well as the rich man."
In another one: ”Iam a poor widow and
didn't have a dollar and my seventeen
year old boy plead guilty and you saved
nim from the gang and suspended bis
sentence and give biq|a good talk and
sent him home and he has joined the
church." 1 could fill tbjs paper with
letters like thu,' let alone the number of
people who haye talked to me; so, that’s
why I entered the race, and in answer¬
ing this call 1 have no apologies to mak e
This is by far the largest circuit in the
state; the duties are arduous and con¬
tinuous and leave me no time to visit
around and pay my respects to the people
as I would like, so I must ncceesarily

Bell** Experience, Faithfulness
And Industry Deserve Reward
Sam W. Small, staff writer of
the Atlanta Constitution, in writ¬
ing in thal newspaper under date
of July 15th, has the following
complimentary reference to Con¬
gressman Thomas M. Bell of the
Ninth District, which will be read
and appreciated by the people of
this district ;
“While speaking of Georgians
why not say something of Con¬
gressman Com Bell, the veteran of
the niuth district ?• Do you know
there are only five of the 435 mem
beetf ot the house that have been
there longer than he? They arc
Cooper, of Wiscosin, 16 terms;
Butler, of Pennsylvania, 15 terms;
Haugen, of |owu, 14 terms ; Pou,
ot North Carolina, 13 terms; and
Garner, of Texas 13 terms; Bell is
serving his eleventh continuous
term and is running now for his
twelfth. Just think of the thou¬
sands of congressmen who have
come in and gone out during the
twenty-one years that be has been
a figure on the floor!
And in view of a promised
democratic house iu the next con¬
gress, what a lo.sft would be to
thut majority to have him missing
from the roll-call. He is now the
minority leader of one of the big
major house committees—that ol
Post Office aod Post Roads—which
is of vital importance to the people
of every district^ in the country,
our insular possessions, Alaska and
our interuaiionol postal communi¬
cations. I here is no man on that
committee with older service than
Tom Bell and no one of them who
understands our postal affairs better
than he. In the event of a demo
cratic house, with in it, be would*
be be the'isfluential the-iofluential chairman chairman and and in¬
valuable certainly to southern pos¬
tal interests, h experience, faith¬
fulness and industry deserve re¬
ward, Tom Bell has all those en¬
titlement* to be kept on the works.”
The closing of the banks inGeor
gia did not effect the bdnks in
NVhi e county. But it is generally
conceded that it has made them
stronger. They ore managed by
the keenest.ublest and mod reliable
business men in White county.
