as has been shown by his wide popu-
larity in the past. There is no better
equipped judge Of the Court or Ordi-
nary in Georgia and no one who per-
forms the duties of his office more
faithfully or more sympathetically. So
far Captain. Cobb has no opposition for
the Office of ordinary.
The announcement simultaneously
today of the candidacy of Sheriff w.
H. Feagin for reelection, and that CT
MIR. George D. Jones, of DeSoto, who
has entered the race against Sheriff
Feagin, leaves no longer any doubt
that there Will be contest for this
position. For some time there have
been rumors that Mr.. Jones would be
a contestant for this position. Nj
Jones is a well known citizen of De-
Soto and has many friends there and
elsewhere throughout the county.
Sheriff Feagin has a host of friends
in the county, who admire him for the
fearlessness and thoroughness with
which he has performed his duty un-
der all circumstances. With Sheriff
Feagin will be associated Deputy She
riff Q. w. Fuller in the race for re-
election Both of these men have
proved valuable public servants since
they have been in office, which is the
best recommendation for their re-elec-
tion With Mr.. Jones will be asso-
ciated Mr. James A. Walker, of Ame--
icus, who will serve as deputy sheriff
in the event of Mr.. Jones being. elect
ed as sheriff. Both of these men are
well known throughout the county and
are we'll equipped for the positions to
which they aspire.
For the position of clerk of the
courts no one has announced yet other
than the present capable incumbent,
Mr. H. E. Allen, who will be assisted
in the event of his election, by Mr.. s.

the county for county purposes. Thu
money is expended, SO far as ROAD
work goes, entirely outside of the
city. Not one cent of the money re-
ceived by the county from the tax
payers of Americus is expended On
roads inside of the city. Some one has
misled you on that point. With the
taxpayers of Americus contributing
probably seventy per cent. of the
county taxes surely you can not say
there is an injustice in the city hax-
ing representation on the Board CT
County Commissioners, especially
when the money is entirely expended
in the county, outside of the city, so
lar as road work is concerned"
Every now and then some one is
found who has this incorrect idea as
to the property owners of the city
not paying county taxes. Of course,
every dollars worth of property in
Americus, some four millions in all,
is subject to the same county taxes as
the farm and other properties outside
of the city The opinion to the con-
trary seems to have been created at
some time by unscrupulous politicians
seeking to enlist the country vote
against the city, and echoes of il
still are heard.
Americus not only pays county taxes
but it pays them cheerfully, and
is more than gratified that the money
it pays into the county treasury has
been so judiciously used in the build
ing up of the county. If the work
of constructing good roads is con-
tinued for another four years there
will be an even greater difference in
Sumter than the last three or four
years have brought.

The sale of tae vacant property Oh

/ ..tiored today elsewhere in Tie
reflects the great ad-
49,. +, Americus central property
irca several years ago when that per
,or Of the original courthouse squars
.os sold for the sum of $6,500. That
roreytv bounded by Lee, Lamar, For
Evtb and windsor streets, consisted of
bparIv two acres of vacant realty, and
|,,os then owned by the old Windscf
biotel Company,
In part payment of an indebtedness
e $4,000 to three of the local banks,
!, ,bo entire tract was sold for $500,
(which many thought full price at
tba time. The purchase was made by
! sbe Bank of Southwestern Georgia.
Since that time all of the property ex-
|cept the lot at the corner of Forsyth
|bnd Windsor streets, has been sold.
The postotfice property was the
|frst sale at $4,000. Recently, the
IA. W. Smith Furniture Co., which
some time ago acquired the property
bold yesterday, received $13,500 foc

BOLD several years ago for $1,000.
while sum sufficient to run the total

Thus a vacant property which sew

STATE BUYS IN AUSTRIA
INSTEAD OF in OREGON

(From the Portland Telegram.)
In bids now being asked for the
equipment of a public institution in
Oregon, chairs made in Austria are
specified. This fact was brought out
at the "Oregon First" luncheon Of the
Ad Club today, held to foster the "0re-
gon First" movement and encourage
the use of Oregon products. Every
article on the menu was raised or pro-
duced in Oregon, and the chairs and
tables used we're made in Portland.
Colonel e. Hofer, chairman Of the day,
named number of concrete instances
where the specification Of Oregon
made goods in public contracts had
brought much wealth to the state.

gon Chair company, reviewed the de-
velopment of manufacturing in the
state and addresses we're made by A.

During the Rose carnival hundreds
Of western Oregon and eastern Oregon
people visited Portland and many Wis
tied the great department stores in
that city. On the Oregon Electric be-
tween West Park and Tenth streets is
the great 0lds, Workman & King store,
occupying an entire block. Many who
were in the city the past week and
wanted a comfortable place to rest
with all modern conveniences called
into this great establishment and rest
ed, or left packages or got dairy
lunch or a fine midday meal. 1t is in
the heart Of the city and has the most
courteous and accommodating en-
ployes. The various departments of
the store as you go through them are
a sight in themselves. The manage
ment made an announcement in this
paper inviting their friends and the
general public to come in and make 1t
their headquarters during the Rose
Show, and they had hundreds Of valley
callers.

The Made in Oregon idea is the best
guaranty of a friendly interest in the
home manufacturer and the home mer-
chant. The newspapers Of the state
are getting a great deal Of advertising
for the home industries and the home
merchant OH account of the Made in
Oregon campaign. Under the heading
made in Baker County," the Baker
City Herald has the following over a
page of Advertising Buying home
products will create places for our
boys and girls as we'll as every one
who seeks advancement. Encouraging
home industry by conscientious pat
ronage is a guarantee that our young
people will not have to leave us to get
chance to live and succeed. Insist
on home products when price and
quality are equal. If our present local
industries succeed others will come
here, Baker will be more prosperous,
larger and wealthler. Read over the
following advertisements carefully and

(The Astoria Daily Budget.)

The made in Oregon" campaign
that is being waged throughout the
state Is movement that is worthy Of
the unqualified cooperation and sup
port Of every loyal Oregonian. Its OBJ
ject is to extend the home market of
the various classes Of articles that are
manufactured in the state and to thus
by giving them our patronage, grad
ually build up industrial Oregon, until
the state is listed among the leading
manufacturing commonwealth Of the
Union. At the present time many
hundreds Of thousands Of dollars are
sent away each year for articles, that
ought by rights to be manufactured
within the confines Of the state. One
thing that we want is more factories,
more Industrial plants to manufacture
our raw materials into products for the
market. A splendid way to bring about
the establishment of these additional
factories is to patronize those which
we have and thus show intended in
vestors that 0regonians are proud OF
their manufacturing enterprises and
are willing TO encourage them by using
their products.

home, our stores could keep even bet
ter stock. 1t Is a great convenience
to be able to make selections from
good line Of goods at home. This be-
comes possible where every one 10y
ally supports the home merchants.
Under such circumstances existing
stores could do larger business, em-
ploy more people, and new concerns
would start. Every person owning
real estate or business here would
see 1t grow more valuable. Even the
man with nothing would gain. There
would be more property to tax, hence
more public improvements. With more
