ciatiou has been organized with L.

for organization was held in Savan

The Consus Bureau gives out a
a comparative statement of cotton
ginned in 1918 and 19J9 in Atkin
son county. It shows at the date
of January 16, 1920, 536 bales as
agitinst 1,644 on the same date in
1919. Yet Atkinson county farm
ers arc in as good shape as at any
time ths past several years.
Only one more week before the
Atkinson county bond election
will occur. The proposition is:
Vote for bonds and pay for the
necessary county buildings and
good roads in thirty years, vote
against bonds and pay for them in
one year. Vote tor bonds and keep
the county tax rate down to nor
mal!
The Valdosta Times classifies
Senators Lodge and Hoke Smith
as allies, lint the evidence ac
cumulates. Senator Smith is oppos
ed to the peace treaty and league
of nations, and so is E. S. Fuller,
of Savannah, who is running for
congress on that kind of a plat
form, and says he is a Republican,
if so, what is llokc? Republican?
Vote for bonds on the 21st; it
will settle the question of perman
ency of Atkinson county affairs,
which is so necessary to progress.
Vote for bonds on Hie 21st; it will
insure good roads by placing At
kinson county in line to share in
the State and National road build

the government we must keep in
line.
The Albany Herald speaks truly
when it says: “There are many

These are the fellows who are go

the feeling which inspires the song:
“Swing low sweet chariot!" And
the horseless buggy will be sold to
pay its taxes.
Editor Trimble, of the St. Marys
Georgian, says: “If Judge Lank

will be forgiven.” Bro. Trimble
must remember the necessity for a
reserve force. Judge Lankford
will use the Ocmulgee route as a
reserve proposition, should eon
gross fail to agree on a sea level ca
nal on the St. Marys St. Marks
route. The Panama canal is of the
lock type, and it may be lock ea
nal or nothing on the St, Marys-St.
Marks route. That would never
do. but a lock canal on the (X*uiul
gee route would not injure any
one. So the Ocmulgee proposition
may prove a w ise reserve.

TO THE PEOPLE OF THE 11TH DISTRICT:
| TERRY HENDRICKS FOR CONGRESS
The continued rumor coming trom Valdosta t.o the effect that Terry
Hendricks, formerly of Nashville, is likely to be a candidate for Congress
at the next election, leads us to suggest his name to the people of the
District.
He was born in* Irwin county, and lived for several years, with his
parents, in Atkinson county, moving to Nashville in 1900. He completed
the Nashville public schools in 1911, and went to Washington and spent
reveral months in an official position with Congressman Roddenberry. He
returned In the fall of that year and entered the University of Georgia,
where he graduated with distinction in 1915. He then spent a short while
in the University of Michigan, but returned to the University of Georgia
and graduated in law in 1916. The same year he moved to Valdosta, where
he engaged in the practice of law. When the United States declared war
on Germany and her allies in 1917, lie volunteered immediately lor the
army, and soon after was made a second lieutenant, and in August, 1917,
was assigned to duty In the 12th Field Artillery, of the famruis Second
Division. Shortly afterwards he sailed for France and landed there early
in January, 1918.
His organization soon moved up to the front and began training, and
in March, 1918, entered the trenches at Verdun. A few weeks later volun
leers were called for the aviation service. He immediately volunteered
and was sent to the French Army, and in April made hi; first flight over
the lines near the heroic town of Rheims. For five months he fought the
Germans in the air, narrowly escaping death a number of times He was
returned to the American Army in September in time to participate in
the Battle of Bt. Mlhiel, where two horses were shot from under him. Here
he was cited for bravery and promoted to First Lieutenant.
A month later, under severe fire in the Battle of Champagne he showed
such conspicuous bravery that he was decorated by General Pershing with
the Distinguished Service Cross for "extraordinary heroism against an armed
enemy of the United States"; and scarcely two we- ks later was decorated
a second time by Marshal Petaln, of France, will the Croix de Guerre,
lie fougtit in six of the greatest battles of the war, as follows: Chemin
des Dames, Chateau Thierry, Soissons, St. Mihiel. Champagne, and the
Argonne Meuse.
After the armistice he ruarclled wit It the triumphant American Army
into Germany, where he spent three months on the Rhine with the Army
of Occupation. He was then sent to the University of Parts and spent
nearly three months in study there.
In June, 1819, he landed In the United States and returned to Valdosta
to practice law, without a word of his hardships, privations or heroic services.
Such in brief is Terry Hendricks.
We believe that these extraordinary times demand extraordinary men,
and, so, we who know him best propose his name to the people of the
Eleventh District for congress.
1. Because we need in congress a strong man, an educated man, an
experienced man.
2. Because he is all that.
3. Because he is a soldier of the first order, who Bprved his country
valiantly in war. If he can fight for us in France why 'can't he fight for
is lh congress?
4. Because he is a young man with ambition.
6. Because he is fearless —he has proven It
6. Because he stands for 100 per cent Americanism and will fight un
restricted Immigration, and the Reds.
7. Because he is wide awake and will not go to sleep on the Job.
8. Because ho has been preaching a "Return to Reason," and will
keep it up.
9 Because he believes in education, progress and expansion of the
United States.
10. Because he will make a fight to save the small railroads of the
United States.
11. Because he will flgtyt for the St. Mary's Canal.
12. Because he will fight for a sane administration of the government
utd a reduction of taxes.
13. Because he will fight for a reasonable control of both capital and
labor. for the benefit of the people as a whole.
14. Because he will fight for Federal aid for roads and drainage in
South Georgia, such as is given In the West
16. Because he will fight the trust and food combines that are strangling
the people by profiteering.
16. Because he would be the right man for the place and we should
lend him there while we need fighting • blood in congress.
17. Because he is capable of doing things when he gets there.
Respectfully,
BERRIEN COUNTY FRIENDS
OF'TERRY HENDRICKS.
Republican Politics.
It is very apparent that strenu
ous efforts are to be made this year
to bring Republicanism back to
Georgia,
It is already Certain that party
will have candidates for congress
in the first, fiftii and ninth districts,
and possibly in all of them. The
main plank in their platforms will
be the peace treaty and the league
of nations.
The attitude of Senator Hoke
Smith to the treaty and league is
thus enheartening the members of
the Republican party in Georgia;
shows his long association with La
Follette is bearing fruit and be is
on the very threshold of Republi
canism.
It is also a noticeable fact that
some of Hoke’s most ardent sup
porters in Atkinson county have
become saturated with the taints
of that party, and besides are ver
itable Republicans in principles.
The party managers in Georgia
are raising a large campaign fund
to be used in boasting the party in
this State, and to defeat the peace
treaty and league of nations among
the people of Georgia. The devi
ous way in which the party of
Lodge, Borah and such ilk, is to
sneak back among Georgians.
Heaven forbid.
Happenings at Homerville.
The Tribune learns from a reli
able source that Homerville is.
under the progressive leadership
of her new Mayor, making steps in
the right direction.
Among the several thingsaceom
plished during the short time he
has been in office is the raising of
$2,500 to erect a Baptist parsonage,
to be located near the church. The
lot, valued at #SOO, was donated
by Judge R. G. Dickerson. This
gift was quickly matched by Mr.
J. H. Fenton with a check for SSOO.
Theft came smaller contributions
until the entire amount was raised.
He says he will just as easily
raise SSOO for the reorganization of
the cornet band, to be composed
of fifteen pieces.
The manner in which the people
of Homerville rally to his leader
ship is really refreshing and wor
thy of emulation by the people of
other communities.

nestly asking your support. Fur
tbermore, I am interested in our
schools but at the same time 1 do
promise to favor the taxpayer’s of

Savannah’s Birthday.
To-day is Georgia Day—the
187th anniversary of the founding
of the colony of Georgia by Gener
al .lamest tglethorpe—at Savannah.
“Georgia Days,” therefore, have
more intimate and significant
meaning to Savannah people than
to the Georgians on other cities
and counties of the state, it is
Georgia's bitthday; but it is more
accurately Savannah's own anni
versary. To-day over the state in
the school exercises, in the editori
als that will note the recurrence of
the day, in the speeches that will
be made before patriotic state or
ganizations —it is Savannah that
will be linked with the story of
the birth of the colony.—Savannah
News.
Georgia has the raw materials of
various kinds and the possibilities
in undeveloped resources for won
derful increase in the supply;
Georgia has splendid waterpowera
and the undeveloped possibilities
for millions of horse-power in addi
tion: Georgia has many factories
turning out scores of kinds of
finished product, and the possibili
ties for many more: and Georgia j
has the greatest port on t he South j
Atlantic. Savannah, with large]
capacity and even larger potentiali
ties for shipment of goods to all
parts of the world. NY hat's to bin- ;

a place in manufactures as high in

Started to give herZiron.
She improved so rapidly from the first
bottle, so we have given her two more,

general weakness, loss of appetite and
other symptoms which indicate lack of
