"The "preferentlal ballot is a
system of voting, honest in ite
purpose; fair to all concerned; DA
tural and easy to handle; effective
in results. 1t 10 opposed to com
binations in its very principle. 1t
is Q test of public favor for the
respective candidates. 1t will
more successfully resist the "fac
tional spirit" than any other
agency. 1t is the friend Of the
people aud the handmade Of pub
lie opinion.
One voter said to the lberian,
this week, that he was going to
vote tor but one man for Mayor;
that he could not understand this
new system OF voting for three
men for one office, where you de
sire to elect but one; therefore, he
would stand by the old way Of
voting.
Suppose We stand four or five
men in y rOw-all candidates for
one Office, and but one can land Or
be elected. Now, the question is
plainly before you, Mr.. Voter,
which Of the five candidates do
you most desire elected to the of
tice they seeki This answered to
the satisfaction Of your own mind
and heart, stamp 10 the square OF
the first column opposite his name.
Lot us illustrate by the use Of
the above ticket. There you have
fvc candidates in competition for
your first choice ballot. Let US
suppose that that first choice falls
to POleinan--the ticket would be
stamped as shown.
Poleman having beon hon0red
with your "first choice" vote, he
does not figure in the contest for
second or third position or choice
on your ticket. The remaining
candidates are ChStmsn, Fortune,
Robman and Finger.
Who, Of these, would you most
prefer to see electedi Now, don't
get POleman mixed up with this
questiOn-yOu have tended to his
running, and 20 far ~ he is con
ccrned you have done all you can
possibly DO towards his election.
He IL not in this second race with
chatham, Fortune, R0bman and
Finger. Then, W. will suppose
the "secOnd choice" rests upon
Fortune. A mark is placed in
the square Of the second column
opposite his name.
Now, you have three candidates
left III competition for your third
choice vote. Those three are
Chatmsn, Kobman and Finger.
AZ before, those you have already
voted for are not in this last race
for your 3rd choice vote. Let Us
suppose that Finger appears to
you the most worthy Of the re
naming three and that you de
eide upon him a. your 3rd choice
camdidate-then you would vote
in the 3rd column opposite his
name a. above shown.
This finishes your ticket, aud
when you have properly consider
I'd the candidates Offering for the

your ticket 90 above suggested, it
is ready for voting.

His decisions from the

decisions are leading ones in

ever, a believer in the Bible,
the truths of Christianity
and the creed of that denomi-
nation to which his family
belonged. 1t was his habit
to keep upon the table in his
bedroom to the last day of
his life two books; one was
Blackstone, and the other
was the Bible. This Bible
his mother gave him when
he left home for his long
journey. To this same Bible
he turned for comfort and
support when, So years aft

man, he entered the valley

Hiram Warner, for whom
Warner County is to be
named, was born at Viii
iamsburg, Hampshire Coun-
ty, Mass, on October Goth,
1902. He sailed for Savan-
nah when 10 years of age,
but was shipwreoked off
Cape Hatteras, and reached
the Georgia port weeks later.
He settled first at Sparta as
a teacher. He studied law
and was admitted to the bar
at Knoxville, Crawford
County, in 1924. He married
there and had one child, a
daughter, the mother of As
sociate Justice Hiram War
ner Hill of the Supreme
Court of Georgia.
He was a member of the
Legislature 1828-31. He was
elected judge of the Coweta
Circuit of the Superior Court
of Georgia in 1888. At that
time there was no Supreme
Court, and the Superior
Court judges gathered in an
nual convention to discuss
their decisions and establish
uniformity of practice.
In 1916 the Supreme Court
of Georgia was organized
and with Joseph Henry
Lumpkin and Eugenius A.
Nesbit was elected to that
high branch of the judiciary.
He defeated Benjamin H.
Hill for Congress in 1856;

S1,750,000 Taxable Values;
Area Over 222 Square
Miles.
The people situated in the
southeastern portion of Mer-
iwether, northern portion of
Talbot and northeastern
portion of Harris Counties
will petition the 1913 ses-
sion of the Legislature to
create a new county to be
named Warner, in honor of
the late Chief Justice Hiram
Warner, the area of which
will be 222 square miles,
while the area of the old
counties after the proposed
county of Warner is created
will not be materially re
duced, but will leave them
among the larger counties of
Middle Georgia, and Meri-
wether will then contain 421
square miles; Harris, 465
square miles, and Talbot,
1923 square miles. The ter
ritOry to compose Warner
County is inaccessible to
either of the present county
sites by railroads and in
transacting legal business
the citizens are required to
go this distance by private
conveyance over mountain
Gus roads, which in rainy
seasons are almost impas-
sable; while a very large
portion of the population
has no means of conveyance
and are forced to a great
expense in reaching the
present county sites.
Taxable Values of New
County.
The proposed county of
Warner Will have taxable
values of one and three
quarter million dollars. This
will leave Meriwether tax
able values of abouC twice
the amount of Warner Coun-
ty; while Harris and Talbot.
from which counties small
values will be taken, will not
be materially reduced, but
have considerably more
wealth than Warner and no
incorporated town is to be
taken from either Talbot or
Harris and but a few miles
of railroad.
The population Of Warner
County will be upward of
10,500, Of which more than
1000 live in Manchester,
the proposed county seat. At
least 5000 of those living
within the country territory
closely adjoining Manches-
ter have to travel IA to 20
miles to their present re
spective county sites. War
ner County would exceed in
population 80 counties in the
State.
Roads and Bridges.
Warner County as proposed will
take from the three affected
counties It's proportion of roads
and bridges as compared to it's
area and wealth, while the roads
and bridges in this territory have
received but little attention, as
the taxes collected by the old
counties have been spent on 9TH
er roads and bridges nearer the
present county sites, and other
sections Of the counties, since
this territory occupies the re
mote corners" consequently has
had little influence in securing
road improvements.
Warner County, as proposed
will include GIL, Chalybeate,
First, Raleigh, Bullochville and
parts Of the Third, Harris and
