VOTE FOR OUR NATIVE SllN.l
Before another issue of the
Eagle reaches our subscribers
am election will have been held.
In the election to be held next
Wednesday, Wheeler county
yoters will have an opportunity
of yoting for a native son,
Judge Walter M. Clements, who
was born and reared in the
Spring Hill settlement, now
composing a part of of Wheeler,
is a candidate for congress.
There are wore reasons than
merely that of patriotism for
supporting Judge Clements, Os
the two men in the race for cong
ress from this district, we are
quite sure that Judge Clements
is the stronger congressional
timber. Born and rearedon the
farm, plowing and working as
an ordinary farmer lad, attend
ing the same country school that
other country lads of that day
attended, endur.ng all the hard
ships and responsibilities that
other farmer boys endured; he
is therefore eminently, qualified
to appreciate the needs of the
farmers of his district. - Not
only that, but Judge Clements’
other business and legal attain
ments make him all the more
fitted for the task of represent
ing our people.
We believe that Judge Clem
ents would accomplish something
for his distriet. We have his
word for it, that if Le stays in
congress six vears, like Mr,
Hughes has done, and does not
accomplish more than has Mr,
Hughes, he will not ask the peo
ple to send him back there. Not
enly that, but in a crisis like the
country is now facing, Judge
Clements would be found on the
job at Washington. He would
not, we believe, for the sake of
his seat, forsake the people’s
interest at a time like this and
come home to electioneer.
Mr. Hughes has never, since
he announced for re-election,
told of a single bill that he intro
duced and pressed to passage.
He hasn’t any record of this sort
to tell us about. He has attempt
ed to tell us of a few bills that|
he introduced and some others
that he claims to have assisted
to passage, but the records fail
to record anything of material |
benefit to his constituents in the[
six years that he pas been in the|
house of congress. The records|
speak for themselves. ‘
Wheeler county wants the
honor of having a native son inl
congress. Judging by reportsl
coming in from all over Lhel
district she is going to have that
honor, and let’s give him a hand
some majority in this connty on I
next Weduesday the 19th. 1
Don’t overlook a chance to
vote for a native son for c(’mg-i
ressman next Wednesday.
Judge Clements is one of usand
will represent us as we should
be represented. He represents
the farming and all other classes
as well.
The latest prediction is that
there will be a great big snow
down here in Georgia about
August 19th and somebody is go
ing to be frozen as stiff as a
dead politician. ; f
To be a good congressman a
man should always,among other
things, be a forcefu! speaker.
Judge Clements is not only a
speaker of rare qualities, but he
stands well with the administra
tion at Washington and is there
fore imminently qualified to rep
resent our people there. You
will make no mistake by voting
for him next Wednesday. ‘
. Hugh Dorsey spoke te the
largest audience that ever gath
ered in Bainbridge to hear a
political speech last Saturday.
Roscoe Luke was on hand to
mike a speech for Seantor
Smith, but the audience ad
journed without hearing him.—
Macon Telegraph.
The south is now facing a big
problem with regard te the
marketing nf her coming eotton
crop. There is no doubt that she
is harder hit, on account of the
European war, than any other
section of this country, With all
the cot}on exchanges in the
country closed, and with no
demand whatever now for the
staple, the situatiou is one that
calls for the deepest and most
serious consideration on the part
of the gavernment as well as of
all business men,
e o
The six largest nations of
Europeare engaged in war. The
Triple Alliance is pitted against
the Triple Entente. Twelve mill
ion men, the flower of European
manhood, are spriging at each
other’s throats with all the rage
that long pent-up jealousies and
hatreds engender. Milliens of
lives will be sacrificed unless
monarchs come to their senses,
billions of treasure will be
wasted, the map of Europs will
be remade, rnd human progress
set back half a century. The war
in Europe is 1 erime against
civilization.—Ex.
Vote for a native son next Wed
nesday for congress—Judge
Walter M. Clements Let’s send
a sure enough country cracker|
to congress. He has a right tol
claim the title of farmer, for hel
was actually raised ona farm.
Merely owning a large planta
tion, which he hardly ever sees,
is not enough to make a man a
farmer. That 1s abovt all the
claim Mr. Hughes has to the
title,
Two thirds of our cotton crop
goes to KEuruopean countries,
and with thelr markeis now
closed, or, if not closed with no!
means at hand here for the ex
portation of the ciop, there will
be at present no deamand for
cotton, or, if any, at such figures
as would make it a sacrifice to
sell. Advice frome all our bank
ers, cotton factor, ard buisness
men unanimously, is that our
farmers must hold their cotton
until a market is provied. Let it
be stored away in Warenousesl
and other suitable places untill
satisfactory prices can be ob
tained. It would be folly to sell
‘it at a loss of from twehty to
ithirty dollars on the bale.

_By insinsinuation, one of the
papers supporting Congressman
Hughes makes it appear that
friends of Judge Clements may
try to play a trick on the op
posing forces next Wednesday.
Judge Clements nor his friends
will either have to resort to any
trickery to get him elected to
congress. When Mr. Hughes
was elected over Congressman
Elijah Lewis in 1908, it was by a
political trick pulled off on the
eve of the primary, when Mr.
Lewis’ personal papers were
secretly spirited from his office,
published in pamphlet form and
scattered over the district, which
helped to defeat him, and gave
Mr. Hughes his seat in congress.
The people have their eyes open
for any schemes that may be
pulled off on or before the elec
tion day.
~ The American farmer has mil
lions of bushels of grain which
Europe needs. American ship
pers will be tempted to buy this
grain for export to European
countries. If American ships
uudertake to run bleckades they
are liable to seizure. Seizure will
provoke controvrsy, and contro
versy is liable to lead to quarrel.
Though grain is consigned to
neutral ports its final destination
might be questioned, in which
event explanation will be deman
ded and. not being forthcoming
will lead to reprisal.
