Emerson penned a fact when he
said, III the man who has something
the people want lives in the woods,
the world will make a path to his
home" That was no truer when the
great American philosopher and poet
said 1t than it is to-day.
1t has become trite to say that 1t
is the man behind the gun who wins
the battles. That Is true at a clash
at arms, but in The Georgian's Want
Ad Contest 1t is the candidate be-
hind the nomination who does things
which count.
One may have the very best inten-
lions and be real popular but to these
qualities must be added industry to
win, and it is industry the world
wants and the world needs and hon
ors.
The vote in the contest as published
to- day shows who the workers are

take advantage of this wonderful OPP
portunity, and every business man in
the city of Atlanta should be warned
of this fact before it is too late. 1t

votes to win the best prizes In this

their appreciation of this fact and
good many are devoting all their time

Candidates, boost your cause by
your own enthusiasm and by enlisting
the aid Of your friends. Sell the ad-

The race between Judge Frank
Park, of Sylvester, and Roscoe Luke,
of Townsville, for the place in Con-
gress made vacant recently by the
death of Judge Anderson Rodden-
berry was extremely interesting, al
though not at all spectacular. 1t was
evident enough all along that the
race was between these two, as Judge
| Covington, while always sure of d
good complimentary vote, never
seemed at all likely to win
Judge Parks victory over the
Townsville man was rather narrow
but all the more to his credit, be-
cause of that, perhaps. Both are
strictly high grade men. and either
one In the National House could
hardly fail to make good.
In the earlier stages of the fight
1t looked as If Luke had a shade the
better Of it, but as the race drew to
close it became plain enough that it
would require a count of the vote to
name the winner. The Townsville
hackers of Luke certainly stood by
their man to the last ditch, and they
never ceased to claim victory for him,
even after the polls had closed on
Wednesday.
The result of this race leaves one
thing still in doubt, however; l. e.:
Is it advisable for a Judge of the
Superior Court to resign his seat on
the bench before entering a race for
Congress?

The Governors Day. so-called, at
the Putnam County Fair-to be ex-
act, Tuesday of this week-was not
the Governors day, at ALL" said a
well-known Georgia statesman, who
was present, to-day
AS matter of fact, it was the
Governors mother-in-law's day, and
the Governors wifes day.
"Of course, the Governor was there,
and something of a to do was made
OF that circumstance, but he was not
noticed very much-that is, not so
much as Governors generally are at
State fairs.
Down Putnam way they love the
Governor not so much for his own
sake-although he has scores of
friends and well wishers there-as
for Mrs Grants sake. The good peo-
pie of Putnam County think John NJ
Slaton did not do half so good or so
important job in getting elected
Governor as he did in getting elected
Mrs. Grants son-in-law.
Everybody in Putnam knows Mrs
Grant and knew her folks long be-
fore anybody down there had heard
of mere Jack Slaton
81 will say to his credit, however,
that he seemed to realize perfectly
what he was up against in Eatonton,
and he behaved just like well regu-
lated son-in-law should. He didn't
try to butt in on celebrations and
frameups designed for Mrs. Grants
especial honor.
Il understand they are fixing up
to display the Governors likeness in
beautiful fireworks at the Cordele fair
next week, and that may serve to
bring him back to earth once more,
and make him recall that he is the
first gentleman of the State. Indeed,
| am very glad he Is to be made
big hero in Cordele, for there wasn't
much room for him in Eatonton.
THE jubilee in Putnam was de-
signed primarily for Mrs. Grant-and
nobody made any bones of the mat
ter. And it was all very enjoyable
and very pretty, too"
