After a moat brilliant atate-wide campaign In which ho met ami ad dreaaed the voters in a great majority of ths counties of the state. Congress man T. W. Hardwick has been nomi nated by the state convention a a tin* Democratic nominee for the uncxplred term of the late Senator A. O. Bacon. Congressman Hardwick's campaign has been one of the hardest and moat I itterly contested elections held In Georgia in recent years. In a three cornered race, and under the miser able unit system, the convention was deadlocked between Hardwick. Hlaton and Felder. It took fourteen ballots h untie the deadlock. This fact remains significant in all the convention balloting. After the first (Millot both Hardwick and Felder, candidates of the progressive wing of the party, showed gains. Slaton and Hutchens steadily lost votes as the balloting went on. After stirring scenes and an all night session the convention adjourn ed till noon the next day. when Fel der would not release his delegate?* and leave the fight between Hard wick and himself. To continue the fruitless balloting would he *c Jeop ardise the interests of progressive democracy. Congressman Hardwick will make Georgia an able and efficient repre sentative In the senate. No man In the state has fought the'party’s bat tles more steadfastly or more valiant ly. He mis been on the firing line in many national campaigns His service and lon* years In the house have given him valuable experience and training and made him a national figure lie stands high In the conn ells of thw administration and in the estemi of the president and of the leaders in Washington. Tit# Herald extends its congratula tions to the Junior senator and pre dicts for him a useful and brilliant o*re#r in the senate. The nation a?* well as Georgia And ths South will find Georgias new senator capable and dependable and helpful in his new duties and responsibilities The Tenth Congressional District that Senator Hardwick has represent ed so long and faithfully, will still find him active in her Interests.

Farmer* are turning their attention from cotton to other crops A few acres devoted to onions, po tatoes. beans, cabbage, lettuce, aspara gus and other truck will be worth hundreds planted in cotton while the European war lasts. Augusta is favorably located to grow all kinds of garden truck and with tile co-operation of the transportation companies a great impetus will be giv en to the growing of these crops around Augimta this fall and winter. Farmers' clubs and the state agri cultural college* and the department of agriculture experts are preaching the doctrine of crop diversification for the South thia year.

Ever the songs of the past and the pomp of armies have been used to inflame the passions of the people. Our spirit cries out to thee in revolt against it, and we know that our righteous anger is answered by thy holy wrath. Break thou the spell of the enchant ments that make the nations drunk with the lust of battle and draw them on as willing tools of death. Grant us a quiet ami steadfast mind when our own nation clamors for vengeance or aggression. Strengthen our sense Germany Is Warring Against Veteran Troops From the World’* Work. it i* a curious fact that almost all the troops in this war that have seen service are in the armies of the anti- German allies At Mukden in 1005- Russia had as large a single army as even entered battle in the history of the world. In that one battle she had .*IIO,OOO men. The soldiers in it* armies in the Fast received a thor ough seasoning. The large propor tion of these veteran* is available for the Russian army now. They have proved themselves to be excellent sol diers. The reports of the United States army observers in Manchuria hear witness to the stubborn courage of the Russian soldier under the most trying conditions. Even with the poor leadership (from which he suf fered at Manchuria) he will stand tremendous losses without breaking. The Manchurian veterans will tough en the fiber of the Russian army. Whether the lessons of Manchuria quickened the intelligence and in creased the skill of Russian leader ship is still to be seen. Russia's ally, France, has also a body of troops seasoned by actual warfare, though not nearly so large a body. Within the last ten years . France has had ss many as 70,000 troops in Morocco at one time Though the service in North Africa has not Sit Tight! Don’t Rock the Boat! (Editorial Chicago Herald.l Sit tight! Don't rock the belt!

Un der these renditions the French North African force has become one of the best known fighting forces in the world. England’s last active fighting on a huge scale was in the Boer War 12 years ago. when it had 1 million men in the field. England should he able to draw on some of these men. and the officers In command of the Brit ish army nyw very largely got their actual experience in the South African campaign. The best seasoned troops in the war are the Montenegrins nr, 1 Ser vians, veterans of two bloody wars hardly a year gone by. On the other side the German and Austrian armies are without actual war experience, except for the South west African campaigns of 1903-6. in which there were nearly 20,000 Ger man troops at one time Germany has not had a larger body of troops en gaged than this since the Franeo- Pru Asian- War. Austria, except for such comparatively small operations as the war against the Begs in Bos nia in the late seventies, has had no actual warfare since the war with Prussia in 1566. foreign nation* as to what consti tutes contraband Such questions can not conceivably Involve us In difficul ties.

Public Mind He Want* to Quit Swearing, but Can't. To The Herald: How can a man quit swearing* l quit drinking ten \ ear* ago and tobacco five years ago. It was pretty hard but. be lieve me. gentlemen, it was tame com pared to the struggle in quitting the use of profanity. i have made up my .ind to quit a million times, I reckon and would get along all fight for about an hour. Then T would be talking to someone and. the first thing I knew. I would blurt out an oath. I am not a malicious swearer. I never swear when l get angry. I never swear when l stub my toe or break my new straw hat. I swear in ordinary conversation just as easily as l use the articles “a." ''an'* and “the.” After years of trying to overcome this habit which certainly tag a place among the very worst of bad habits. I have almost come to the conclusion that the only way for me to quit is to quit talking I do not swear when T am olone or when I am asleep. Now in desperation I write my old friend. The Herald. If there are read ers who have overcome swearing, in heaven's name, tell me how. I am 48 years old. I am a member of a Protestant church and believe in the Bible from cover to cover. ANXIOUS. A Telephone Operator*'* Advice. To The Herald: s In the public eye it seeme that the telephone operator has but one line to concentrate her mind on. but instead she takes care of from two hundred to three hundred lines in one hour. Don't blame Central because your bet rang. She* would have no reason for ringing unless someone was calling you. Sometimes the constant ringing is caused by tranches of trees rubbing against the wires. Don’t be angry with Uentra! if she does not Answer your question It is her duty to connect you with the infor mation operator. f We are allowed to answer very few questions, and in doing so must use phrase* prepared by the company and not by us. • Don't use rTofane language over the telephone. You would not do It face to face. Don’t hang tip the receiver when you by mistake call a wrong number Stay on the line and tell the party railed It waa your mistake. • Yon don't have to call Central pet names in order to get good service. l>on't call Central « 'hello girl;*’ that name la not used in any of her phrases AN OPERATOR.
