Paint up and clean up. You would
not wear a dirty collar, so dont have
dirty premises.
Lots of folks are learning to like
corn bread,“who were of the opin
jon, a short time ago, it was not
fit to eat.
We never believed that President
Wilson was going, to ask us to elect
Bill Harris senator, and now we
know he will not.
Is the war news from the front
not serious enough to wake up and
solidify all our people? It will take
all this to win and we can not afford
to lose.
America can not sorrow over the
death of Senator Stone of Missouri
as much as it might have done, had he
proven a “true blue” American in
those trying hours at the beginning
of the war.
Beginning Sunday is wheatless
week by request, but not order, of
the Food Administration. How much
wheat will you save in response to
this patriotic call? Each family in
America should save enough to feed
a soldier for two weeks.
The present rapid decline in cot
ton ought to be fair warning of what
the price would be, if the English and
American Navies should lose control
of the sea. And yet there are still
a few who are content to think that
this is just a “rich man’s” war.
Half-soled breeches and half-soled
shoes are badges of honor. 1 wear
them and gladly recommend them.—
Secretary McAdoo.
Well now he seems to have ac
quired and retained some Cobb
County habits besides politics.
To carry your own packages should
be counted as an honor, in these days
when every unnecessary service
should be suspended. We would
suggest thal our grocery merchants
get together and effect a consolidated
and restricted system of delivery
service.
Would it be worth while sending
you a statement of your subsciption
you a statement of your subsecrip
tion? If you ave in arrears the label
on your paper shows it, and you can
save us postage by remittin. We
only ask one dollar per year and
must collect all of that.
Truth is the farmer has been made
the underdog in the fight so long that
he has about lost faith in the bal
anee of the business world, and now
that his day has dawned it is hard
for him to realize that he is really a
most important factor in the big
things that are now transpiring. He
must get out of that and begin to do
things for hmmself and his country
before it is too late.—Thomasville
Press. ;
iast week Hon. W. J. Harris
came down from Washington to
advise and instruct the State com
mittee. This week he comes again
to tell the Georgia Medical Associa
tion at Savarnah what to do. Just
why he has delayed his Washington
resignation to May Ist is not clear,
as he has spent most of his time re
cently on the trains between -here
and Washington.
He evidently thinks neither Geor
gia nor Washington can do without
him but it ia possible that he is
mistaken.
Now is the time for all good men
to come to the aid of their country.
WM. SCHLEY HOWARD IN
RACE FOR SENATE.
The Sunday papers contain the
formal announcement of Hon. Wm.
Schley Howard for the seat of .
W. Hardwick in the United States
Senate.
Quite a number of others, have
from time to time during the past
year, announced as candidates, but
it was apparent that none of them
were to the liking of the people.
One of these candidates, Wm. J.
Harris, had the backing of a very
large section of the press of the
state, and further claimed to have
the unqualified support and endorse
ment of the President but with all
this claimed prestige he could arouse
no enthusiasm for his candidacy, and
no doubt he will now be able to find
some excuse for retiring from the
race.
~ Mr. Howard is a member of Con
gress, having defeated Hon. Lon Liv
ingston, in a mest remarkable race
some year ago. He stands well with
his fellow members in the House, and
is one of the very few men who com
mand the instant and undivided at
tention of the House when he has
anything to say.
There is no doubt also that he
stands high in the estimation of the
President, as he was only a few
weeks ago asked by Mr. Wilson to
open the campaign for the Demo
crats in the President’s home state
New Jersey. -
Mr. Howard is one of the most
able debaters and stump speakers in
the country. He has striking ability
to convince and impress his hearers,
and those who know him all agree
that ‘“‘senatorial dignity” will get a
shock on his arrival there.
He is just the very same plain
“Bill Schley” Howard, whether in
the presence of the President, the
Supreme Court, the Senate, or with
boys around the corner drug .store
telling a good dog story. And Bill
Schley knows dags and horses, and
likes them too. And a fellow who
does is never a bad man, be his sta
tion high or low.
He is a hard worker, and as Con
gresman from the Atlanta district
he has never been without plenty to
do, and yet he has so frequently per
formed services for friends in other
parts of the state, that he has been
called the congressman from the
state at large. :
Mr. Howard has issued a strong
statement to the voters, basing his
candidacy on his record as ‘‘an
American, a Georgian and a Demo
crat,” and says he hopes none of the
other condidates will caim to have
a “monopely of patriotism.”
He is a member of some of the
most important committees in the
house, and has been a consistent sup
porter of the President.
He has a farm in South Georgia,
on one of the islands below Savan
nah, which is one of his hobbies. It
was a part of his fathers estate, which
he has improved and where he spends
as much of his time as he has been
able to be away from Washington in
recent years, and he will therefore
probably meet the demand of those
who think a South Georgia man
should be elected.
Mr. Howard states that he will
come to Georgia as soon as he can
leave important committee duties
and make a vigorous campaign, and
his friends are confident that the
race will have more “pep” in it
now.
HONOR AND CREDIT DUE
PATRIOTIC BANKERS
In summing up the patriotic work
done by the various citizens for the
causes of the war, a very large share
of credit must be given 'those bank
ers of the county, who have so cheer
fully and freely given their time and
service to the work of the various
committees raising finances.
As the government itself is, in a
way, in competition with the banks,
when it seeks to borrow money, as
through the Thr¥t Stamps and Lib
erty Loans, nothing but pure un
adulterated patriotism can be attri
huted to those bankers who have
been so freely aiding in the work.
Much money must be withdrawn
from the banks for investment in
these loans and yvet we see the bank
ers giving their time and service, and
even paying for advertising these
matters for the government.
Other business interests have also
been free helpers in these campaigns,
but what we wished to remind our
people of, is the fact that the bank
ers are competitors in finance, and
only the most patriotic motives could
command and secure such service of
them.

OBEY THE ORDERS.
We have heard of no grumbling or
attempts at evasion of the orders of
the Food Administration in our own
community but we frequentfir read
of the penalties being applied for
violations in other places.
There should he strict and cheer
ful compliance with the law by ev
ery one, and from what we hear of
it there has been an impartial ap
plication of the penalties where vio
lators are reported.
In some cases these penalties have
been severe, but the enormity of the
offense seems to usually determine
the penalty.
Below is the case of Swift & Co.,
who are the largest food distributors
in New York City as reported by the
New York World:
“The power of the United States
Food Administration was publicly ac-
I'nowledged late yesterday afternoon
by the largest corporation in this
country dealing in foodstuffs.
“A notice placed in the window of
the offices of Swift & Co., No. 32
Tenth Avenue, announced that, by
order of the Federal” Food Board of
this city, the concern would not deal
in eggs in this city for the next thir
ty days. This morning similar no
tices will go up in the windows of
the nine branches of the Swift con
cern in this city that handle eggs.
Part of the punishment for buy
ing and selling eggs at prices above
that fixed by the Food Administra
tion has not yet been paid by Swift
& Co. The corporation must buy Lib
erty bonds with the $3,000 profit on
the offending transaction, give the
Liberty bonds to the New York Chap
ter of the Red Cross and present,the
receipt of the Red Cross to the Fed
eral Food Board in this city.”
Certainly when the big offenders
are thus punished the law is being
impartially administered.
Obey the law yourself and do not
ask any one else to violate it to do
you a favor.

' News About Town
Mr. R. E. Butler had the misfor
tune to fall one night last week and
break a rib. He refuses to be in
valided by it however, and is out a
gain.
Dr. Mayes Gober, who has been
with a Brooklyn hospital, was here
to visit home folks on Saturday, en
route for San Antonio Texas to at
tach himself to the Base Hospital at
that point. The Doctor is now a First
Lieutenant but he gave up an ex
ceedingly lucrative position to enter
the service of his country.

THIS NEW REO MODEL is the epi
tome of Reo experience—and that, as
every motorist knows, is the longest,
most extensive experience in Motor
Car building.
REC BUILT GOOD CARS long years
before most of those now in the busi
ness had started.
KEO AUTOMOBILES HAVE always
been good automobiles—rugged, de
pendable and famed {rom the first for
Low Upkeep.
SO SOUND HAS BEEN Reo engineer
ing you have seen less Reo Models
than of any ether make—bar none.
THAT FACT ALONE should indicate
to the prudent buyer that he would
bec more certain of choosing right if
he just.closed his eyes and said “Reo”
than if he shopped for weeks up and
down the Row.
WHEN YOU CONSIDER, for example,
that the predecessor of this new Reo
Light Four—that wondcriui Reo the
Fifth—was standard in practically the
same form for eight scasons while
its competitors changed yearly and
oftener, the natural conclusion must
be that is was a marvelous product.
THIS NEW LIGHT FOUR is a refine
ment of that Reo.
INALLMECHANICALESSENTIALS
it is the same—but rctinemenis have
been made wherever our engineers
could find a better way.
IN OUTWARD APPEARANCE it is
one of the classiest cars of the year.

Friday Morning, April 19th, 1918
UP TO THE MINUTE in design—
every line and curve and every detail
of finish is in the latest style.
AT THE NEW YORK SHOW where
dealers and the public got the first
glimpse of this latest Reo the excla
mation most often heard <wvas “At last
the Reo Four looks as good as it is!”
AND THAT SUMS IT UP—mechani
cally you know there has never been
a better motor car.
PERHAPS WE DID concentrate on
the engineering featuies to the neglect
of mere outward aipearance. Pecrhaps.
AND YET—AND YET-—never has
there been a more popular automobile
—never one the demand for which
always so greatly exceeded the output.
NOW YOU RECEIVE BOTH in this
new Reo Light Four—a chassis that
is recognized wherever motor cars are
known, as the most rugged, the most
dependable; the most simple and the
most accessible, :
INCORPORATED ALSO in this latest
model are thosc {catures of design and
that quality of materials which have
resulted in an upkeep cost lower than
. any other car ever made;—
AND PLUS APPEARANCE—a body
that in dcsign and finish is fully in
keeping with the mechanical excellence
of the car.
STUDY EVERY DETAIL of this new
Reo Light Four—and say if you have
ever seen anything that se fully con
forms with your own ideas of what an
automobile should be.
We will bet Bill Harris has spent
five years to Schley Howard’s one in
Atlanta so which is the “Atlanta poli
tician.”
