The congressional primaries will oc-
cur just two weeks from today. That
Judge Griggs will be the winner is not

Gaunt hunger and want stalks about
in sunny Italy. Mothers are feeding
their children on grass and weeds by
the roadside, and in all parts there are
deaths from starvation.
Isn't it time that we were hearing
from the Macon Telegraph again? 1t

whose reason for desertiOn is his be-
lief in an honest dollar. The major
is best known in Georgia as a notorious
