ALAMO, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1930
HARRIS FOR U.S. SENATOR HAS LANDSLIDE
OVER OPPONENT, JNO. M. SLATON; RUSSELL
LEADING CARSWELL IN GOVERNOR’S RACE
Seeond Race Between Russell and Carswell in
October to Name Governor. Holder, Per
ry and Rivers Eliminated From the Race
In Last Wednesday’s Primary.
Returns from Wednesday’s primary in the state gave
Senator William J. Harris one of the most flattering victories
over his opponent, former Governor John M. S'aton, ever re
corded in this state for a candidate for United States Senate.
Slaton has only 2 unit votes, while Senator Has 329 unit votes
to his credit.
Richard B. Russell, Jr., led his four opponent.*, Carswell,
Holder, Rivers and Perry for Governor, with Carswell running
second. Rivers came up as a close third, Holder fourth and
Perry a very slow fourth
A very small vote was recorded over the state, due no
doubt to conditions that prevailed in Wheeler county. The
races for United States Senate and Governor attracted the out
standing interest in the campaign, while the race for Repre
sentative stimulated considerable interest.
In the race for Representative in Wheeler, between R. E.
Rivers, incumbent, and G. L. Hattaway, Mr. Rivers won out
by a safe majority over his opponent.
In the race for Public Service Commission, in which Cal
vin W. Parker, of Valdosta, and Guy O. Stone, of Glenwood,
were running; Parker winning ever his opponent by a large
majority. However, Mr. Stone carried many counties, and his
vote in Wheeler was overwhelming.
In the run-over for Governor, another primary will be held
in October,.when the two highest candidates will come before
the voters again, according to the result of Wednesday’s pri
mary, the race will be between Russell and Carswell.
We give below a tabulation of the vote polled in this county
for United States Senator, Governor, Commissioner of Agri
culture, Public Service Commission, and Representative.

Hints For Homemakers
By Jane Roflers
r IB t
THE next time you clean carrots
which are to be grated, instead
of cutting off the whole top leave
about an inch of the stem. The
whole carrot can then be used
without the risk of scraping your
thumb and fingers while the last bit
is being grated.
A good general rule to follow in
! seasoning green vegetables is to
I use a dash of sugar to a pinch of
salt. Without artificially sweeten
i ing the dish, the sugar restores
the garden sweetness which so
many vegetables begin to lose on
their way to the kitchen.
Hints For Homemakers
By Jane Rogers
I
IF your pancakes have a tendency
to stick to the griddle, try rub
bing it with the cut side of a raw 1
potato instead of greasing it. This
will usually prevent sticking even
when grease consistently fails.
The art of seasoning lies in
blending and developing the flavors
of the main ingredients: never in
smothering them out of all recogni
tion. A small amount of sugar,
for instance, is frequently used in
the preparation of meat and fish
sauces; not to sweeten, but to
point up and harmonize the flavors I
of the fish or meat, and the other
ingredients of the sauce.

RUNOVER PRIMARY
WEDNESDAY, OCT. 1.
For the first time in a long time
' the people of this State have an
. opportunity to select a man to
represent them as governor of
। a great state without strings on
him by corporations.
The race now is one of much
s interest to us, as it is narrowed
down to the choice of two candi
dates, Richard B. Russell, Jr.,
and George H. Carswell. In the
primary on Wednesday, Russell
led his opponent by 16 county
unit votes. This gives him a good
start in the runover, which will
be held on Wednesday, October
Ist, when the winner will be
named.
The light is on, as to whether
the people shall reclaim this
state from political combines by
n ominating Dick Russell, or se
lect Carswell, who is said to be
a member of the so called ring.
So, all out for Russell in the
next race. The time is short. It
is time to deciden ow.

all, and ill will to none. Again
thanking you for your loyalty, I
