SUNDAY, AUGUST 9. MR. HARDWICK’S QUALIFICATIONS. Now that the campaign for the Junior Senator is about to draw to a close, we wish to admonish our friends all over the Tenth District to marshal their forces solidly for Mr. Hardwick. As usual in his races, he is being attack ed both front and rear by every weapon that devilish sun ning can devise and direct; and it can be truly said that he bears more scars from democracy’s battles, fought and won, than any Georgian living. Every day of his private life, every page of his public record, has been winnowed and sifted for some “dammed spot” that would condemn him in the eyes of his constituents. His opponents have examined his campaign speeches and his record in Con gress, and have rent their hair v and wrung their hands but can only find that he is opposed to the Tax Equiliza. lion law in its present form ; but they fail to tell you of his statesman-like attitude that demands that this law should be so amended as to reach every class of taxable property in the state of Georgia and tha't every citizen should bear his proportionate part of the burden. They are also industriously circulating a report that he is opposed to the present Parcel post. This is as false in its essence as it is malicious in purpose. His position on this subject has been clearly stated, over and over again, in* bis public addresses, and those who make the charges have been repeatedly urged to be present and present the evidence in person. But they dare not meet him in debate, preferring to be placed in the category of those who “are willing to wound, but afraid to strike.” “ ’Tis conscience makes cowards of us all.” Again they charge tnat he was opposed to the present currency law---an administration measure. In short, that he was guilty of “Lese Majestie.” Wouldn’t it be a miracle, indeed, if all members of Congress could spon taneously agree upon every detail of so great a measure? If that were usual it would be better to have a one-man government. But Congress is elected by the people to sit together and consult with each other, recognizing that “in a multitude of counsel there is wisdom.” Hardwick objected to certain phrases of the law, which in the minds of wise men are still mooted. He presents his objections in a manly and masterly way; but when he found hinrSelf in a minority, he surrendered his personal views for the sake of party harmony, like a tiue democrat. So it would seem that we have proven by his enemies that he is a man of initiative, independence, and party loyalty that does not have to run home and consult any little coterie of politicians every time he casts a vote. And these are the things that have endeared him to his con stituents, and the things that have caused Woodrow Wil son, that unerring judge of men, to place the seal of his endorsement upon his character and ability. It is further charged that he is neglecting his duties at Washington to conduct a campaign of personal aggran disement. This i 3 another vain attempt to make a moun tain of a mole hill. This custom has been followed ever sin e the republic was launched, and no self-exploiting M.ississippian can change it. Besides it is well known that the lower house has done its work and done it well, and Mr. Hardwick is absent by the advice and consent of the President and leaders in Congress. But worst of all, some miserable slanderer has charged that he is the “tool of the express companies,” “the hire ling of the sugar trust.” If we absolutely knew there was but one unpurchasable man in the halls of Congress, our mind would involuntarily rdVelt to Hardwick. Any man who originates a charge so vile ought to lie made to prove it in open court, or forever hide his head from the destestation of mankind. Men of the “Bloody Tenth,” your gallant leader is bearing your banner is an unequal combat, beset by foes from within and from foes without the ranks of his party his breast bared to every blow that money can buy, or that malice can inspire. It is said that in the memorable battles of Napoleon that he relied chiefly upon the Tenth Legion, the Home Guard from his native isle. In this battle of the ballots your own Little Corporal puts his trust in the Tenth District---The Home Guard that he has so ably and unselfishly served. Has he represented you well, or has he betrayed your interest? You will answer that question on the 19th of August. T. J. COOPER, Sandersville, Ga. GOOD ADVERTISING deans More Business-More Dollars Mr Small Merchantman, have you ever felt the wonderful power of GOOD advertising? Many is the man who has been searching in the dark for this wonderful magnet which pulls new business to one's store and office. Many is the man who has fooled himself with an argument some thing in this fashion—"l’m only a small merchant—l cant afford GOOD advertising because good things cost money but then I MUST keep my name before the peopIe—SOMEHOW.” And with no more definite Idea than this he begins to buy various kinds of ''Jimcracks” with his name printed on them. He receives every solicitor whp hap pens along soliciting "ads” for thi s or that “special” occasion. With out any system or plan he spends (or should we say donates) $5 here and $lO there and $25 another place, until in the entire year he has expended a right tidy sum. And hae he kept his name before "the people?*' A few—very saw —AT LEAST the ones to whom he paid h's money. MR.
