EIGHT Progressive Democracy of Georgia Must Win, Says Hardwick “Gov. Slaton is Now Trying to Run From the County Unit Rule That He Urged Upon His Own Committee,” Declares Mr. Hardwick, the Congressman Atlanta, G a#—Congressman Thomas W. Hardwick, candidate for th«* short term In the United Htatea senate, Thursday issued a second statement, In which he* asserts that the Macon convention “will be organised and controlled by the progressive Demo* # crata of this state and the election of two senators from that wins of our party and from the friends of the Wilson administration is a certainty. His statement follows: f "In his announcement for the sen ate, April 19, 1914. Mr. 8 tat on said: ** 'Only recently i urged upon the state executive committee of our party the importance of preserving the full lights of even the smallest county. And I am pleased to note that in the rules adopted for determining the contest in which T snail he engaged such is done, in conformity with tho rlarform on which I was nominated for governor.' "After having ran sway in the cam paign from every Issue that was rais ed and* from every debate that was suggested. Mr. Hinton now tries to tun from tiie county unit rule that lie ‘urged* upon his own committee and had established. Seeing defeat star ing him In the face under the rules of his own urging he wishes to give to the ballots and to the first and second choice of counties a sigfinicance widely different from that they had on the day of the primary. He played the game under itiles that he made him self, and now with the game almost finished wants to change the rules in his favor He will not he allowed to do it. Whether he wishes to do so or not. he must play it out according to his original rules, win or lose. He Made Hi« Own Bed. "Let me. nay in passing that if the rules had been what he now suggests, it would have made a groat difference in the conduct of my campaign as I should have fought f<»r every vote in (Georgia, even in counties that I had no Mope of carrying, and I feel reason ably sure, in that event, that my pop ular vote instead of being Just two or three thousand behind him, would have been many thousand larger than him. In any event, no man can tell, with any wrutney, what difference it might have made in the popular vote if Ihe people had known on the day of the proinary that every vote was to count for the candidate for whom it was cast regardless of county results 1 urged that course upon the commit tee. Mr. Hist on opposed it and the committee stood with him and not with me Ho Mr. Slaton lias made his own bed and must lie In It The peo ple of Georgia will not permit him to get Into a different one during this contest. *'l am not very deeply impressed with cither the fairness or candor of Mr Slaton’s statement to the effect, 'one hundred and one counties say they do not want Mr. Hardwick for senator. One hundred and thirty-one ccunties out of one hundred and for ty-eight say the.v either want me as first choice or want me ns second choice.' "In other words in comparing his vote with mine. Mr. Slaton counts for me only the counties in which I ran first, leaving out the countlch in which 1 ran second, while in marshaling his own vote he counts for himself every county In which he ran either first or second It seems to it»p that such ut ter nonsense would not even please his own partisans. *’! am sorry that the little talk 1 made to s large crowd of niv loyal and devoted friends in the Kimball House lobby on the nigh! of the elec tion did not meet with Mr Slaton’s approval. Many of these men had work ml hard for me all day at the polls and 1 fell so grateful to them 1 could not resist saying so. That Is all. Mr. Wilson's Attitude. ‘Again 1 beg to express niv deep regret that my progress! ven©## on parcel post currency bill, etc., is not of so rabid a type ns to meet with Mr. Hintons approval True. President Wilson, whose opportunity for knowl edge of these matters may possibly be hi least equal to that of Mr Slaton, seems to think otherwise and to be lieve 1 am allright; still Mr. Slaton Is such a recent convert to the progres sive wing of our party that with the usual seal of a recent convert he sim ply out-Herod* Jlerod In the radical ism of hts new found faith. "If Mr Slaton should be elected Health First — Happiness Follows Ever notice that moat normal, healthy persons are cheerful optimist*— And that dyspeptic, sickly peoplo are gener ally pessimistic? Most indigestion is caused by improper food; and the surest way to health is to use a wholesome food such as Grape-Nuts and Cream. Made of wheat and barley, it supplies, in form for easy, quick di gestion. the nourishment that builds normal bodiea,brains and nerves. Eat right—Peel right ! "There's a Heaton" senator, it Is my judgment that an extra election for governor would be necessary otherwise, section 96 of the code of Georgia must be given a con struction that makes It possible to put the executive power for more than six months in hands of the presiding offi cer of the senate, and the intent of the law is not to permit that. However, I do not regard this question as of much importance, as I am sure that Mr. Hfutori will not be elected to the senate, but will fill out the balance of his term as governor. If J am elect td to the senate, there would be no necessity to fill the remaining three months of my term as a member of the house. The Democratic party has 149 majority in the house and can do without the vote for three months. The precedents for this course are numerous, but if. after my election, it seems best to fill the seat in the house niy successor, Who has already been selected by the Democrats of the dis trict, can be chosen at. the November election to fill out the three months of my term, at the same time ho i* being elected to the next congress. Otherwise —No 'Cues. "The hysterics of Mr. Slaton and of his organ, Mr. llearst's paper, over ‘packed* conventions and 'ring* poli ticians, is so absurd as to rival comic opera. May Heaven preserve Mr. Sla ton, dauntless champion of the people, great exponent of popular rights, and of progressive policies, from the steam roller of a 'packed' convention, and from tfn* trickery of ring’ politicians. The entire state ought to rise up, as one man, and save Mr. Slaton from the wicked 'ring' politicians, other wise we may have no more barbecues. "His own strong-arm methods in trying to force the selection of dele gates favorable to himself from coun ties carried by Mr. Felder and myself ought, it seems to me, to preclude him from now playing the baby act. "His conduct in trying to filch dele- THE LITTLE DEWHOP.

The poor little dewdrop thought the roMe loved it. and nestled doner to her nml sparkled its brightest as the moon light streamed over the garden. Hut the rose only raised her proud lead and looked at the nightingale, which was singing near her. "Am 1 not beautiful?" she said. "I am the only one in the garden who wears a Jewel." The nightingale came nearer and told her she was Indeed the most beautiful of all. The little dowdmp trembled as it listened to the words of the vain rose, aml it knew that there was no love In the heart of the rose save for herself. *‘lb* careful," said the rose as she felt the dewdrop tremble "you w'tll fall, and that will spoil mv beauty."

She then went out and stood oil the corner hold tux the flower* out to the people that paaxed. In this way ahe earned a few pennies which she brought home to her graudfatlier. Poor Annie, 1 am afraid site did not have a very pleasant time, for there was not much to eat and she was often hungry. One day as she was standing on a corner trying to sell her flowers a lady stopped to buy a bunch and she gave her a few extra pennies. The lady naked ahout her, who ahe lived with and where her home was. The next dav she came again and told Annie she wanted to go home with her and see her grandfather. They walked home to the cottage and found grandfather was there. The lady said site wanted Annie to come mid live with her. that ahe would give her warm clothes and lei her go to school, so Annie went to live with her kind friend and never had to go out selling flowers after that, lwit ahe never forgot to give aome of her pennies to any poor little chthlren that she saw and would ask them to come and see her One dav a little girl was stand ing on the comer selling matches.

Annie took some matches and together they sold U:em all In a few minutes. Then THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA, GA. gates from Mr. Felder and myself in counties carried by us, have been O*b served by all men, and was anticipat ed . On July 3, 1914 there was a meet ing of Mr. Slaton’s state committee called by retiring chairman Harris. At that meeting Mr. Hall, of Bibb, proposed a modification of the rules governing this primary, so as to pro vide that the delegates from each county should be selected from among the friends of the candidate for sen ator who had carried that county, as well as the friends of the successful candidate for governor. Mr. Slaton’s friends on the committee promptly defeated this resolution by adjourning the committee before the resolution could bo voted on. "This was plain notice to all Geor gia. of what was to be expected from Mr. Hlaton. He has been caught, red handed, in his efforts to purloin from Mr. Felder and myself delegates from Ware, Colquitt, Campbell, Hen Hill, Butts and many other counties that I could name, and he now exercises his lungs, to the amusement of the state, by shouting veriferously ‘Stop thief as he endeavors to get away with th© goods himself. “Ilis effforts to do so have failed. We have checked them everywhere. His nomination at Macon is an im possibility. We are going to insist that he shall fill out his term as gov ernor ‘without regard to the entice ments of a more alluring prize.’ It will and ought to be a long itrne be fore this state is again treated to the unfortunate spectacle of its governor as a candidate for office in a primary contest and a hustler after votes in a convention fight, summoning his henchmen to the capitol and execu tive mansion of Georgia in droves and swarms, abusing the powers and low ering the dignity of the high office to which lie was elected in a vain effort to elect himself to another place. “The Macon convention, I assert with every confidence, will be organiz ed and controlled by the progressive Democrats of this state, and the elec tion of two senators from that wing of our party and from the friends of the Wilson administration is a cer tainty. "In the short term contest., my friends naturally hope for my success, as 1 have long led in both delegates and popular votes over any other pro gressive candidate. "THOMAS W. HARDWICK." Atlanta, Gtu, Aug. 27, 1914. "and now you do not notice me and listen to the nightingale." "Why, you silly little drop." replied the rose, "do you expect one as beau tiful as I am to be in love with you? That you should love me is not to be wondered at, and that I allow you to remain near me and love me should l»e quite enough for you to expect. Your love for me makes me appear more beautiful, and 1 let you rest upon my soft cheek " The poor little dewdrop shrank away as he heard the cruel words of the haughty rose and moved nearer to her heart, thinking that pity might move her if nothing else But the proud rose gave it no word of pity or love, and the dewdrop rolled into her heart and was absorbed by her. more beautiful than ever the next morning. The rose is like many people In this world, who expect and take all the love and friendship the generous na ture's of their friends offer snd never think of giving one word of sympathy or love for all these blessings. And the little dewdrop Is like many others who give their love, and wor ship to those so far removed from their sphere in life that the one to whom they are given never known of the gifts offered, or sees the giver. Love and friendship are priceless gifts, but they will not bloom or give forth their sweetness unless they tako root in the heart of a friend. If these gifts are given to one who, like the rose, receives them only be cause they think them their Just due. they will lie dormant, forgotten in time by both the giver and the one who receives them. they went to Annie's home snd the little girl wan fed and clothed in a dress of Annie’s and she went home warm and happy. *JFgEE feM 504 <?■: xVsx Bottle of ||&X w ZEMA-FO ■ iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMimiiiu Ej'X-ZEMA-FO, the colorless, -/odorless, non-staining liquid, has made good with so many thou sands of skin sufferers, that we want you to try the first bottle at our expense —not a mere sain pie— but a regular 50c bottle of stan dard size and quality.

THE WAYS OF THRIFT (Copyrighted, 1914, American Society for Thrift). BUYING CANNING FRUIT. Do you know what it costs con sumers to have "only the best” on ther tables? You know that some people, whether their grocer’s bill is paid or not, insist on having fruits, meats and vegetables of a perfection that costs like sixty. It is fine for the grower who can supply that sort, in case he shares the high prices paid by the consumer. Take the peaches In the markets in northern cities. There are small green peaches tinder red mosquito netting, and big peaches in baskets, and still bigger ones from the west In boxes. Then there are mammoth peaches wrapped in paper, all pink and gold, a temptation to any appe tite, and those are the peaches that sell as "the best.” There has been keen rivalry to have the biggest and finest because the big returns in pro portion to labor are for the producer of the things for the Spendthrift's table. Time was when the biggest peaches were no larger than green ap ples that drop In .Tune. Then some one developed a variety known as the "Elberta" and millions of Elherta peach trees, hearing fruit as big as an unhusked walnut, or even larger, were planted. Now the market marvel is a peach larger, as big as a ripe ap- WHAT TO SAVE IN THE HERALD’S M. & M.

When a housewife orders “send your best” she pays the piper these days, though she pets peaches unbelievably big and fine, it is true. This is a case of high efficiency in horticulture, for the Hale peach for the “send-the-best” people, makes the big profits these days. One man took $1,420 from 133 trees of that variety. The reasons are size, color, taste and the fact that ten days before ripen ing the Hale peaches turn a beautiful “ripe" color, but are hard enough to ship In a barrel. If the consumers’ side were studied equally well, the cost of living problem would be sim plified.

THE LAST SHOT The Herald’s New Serial Frederick Palmer, as a correspondent, has witnessed all of the wars and insurrections of note in the last two decades, and his remarkable story is based upon his observations and experiences. It contains none of the wild improbabilities, the thrilling air con flicts of modem novelists, but recounts battles virtually as they are being fought in the air and on the fields of Europe, as a result of the development of war tactics and armaments. “The Last Shot” is a terrific arraignment of war, a prophecy of the struggle now taking place and a prediction that the awful cost will teach all nations a lesson they will not soon forget.
