Washington.-There is resentment
in the White House over the charge
made by Senator Townsend at the

GOVERNOR JOINS FIGHT
ON THE COTTON PEST

The Georgia Chamber of Commerce
has received the prompt and unquai-
flied endorsement of Governor John
NJ. Slaton in it's fight to prevent the
boll-weeviI from entering into the
State of Georgia. The States Chief
executive states his position through
proclamation issued to the people
of Georgia, generally, urging then.
to give their support to the George
Chamber of Commerce in the boil
weevil fight, and also to devise ways
and means among themselves to
check the invasion of this pest.
Experts are generally agreed that
the boil weevil will make its ap-
pearance in Georgia within the next
three years time unless radical pre-
tentative steps are taken by the peo
pie of the State in the meantime.
Following is the Governors pro-
clamation:
Whereas, the boil weevil is a Sc
rious menace to Georgia, and
Whereas, the Georgia Chamber %
Commerce is now actively engaged
in the organization in each county
in Georgia of county Chamber of
Commerce in which the farmers and
business men will be organized for
the purpose of bringing about meth -.
DDS of farming and marketing for the
better protection of the state against
the threatened boil weevil invasion,

Governor of the state of Georgia, do
request and urge that public meetings

MUD SINGING IN
CAMPAIGN REGRETTED

Editor Marietta Journal, Marietta

Editor Marietta journal, Marietta,
Ga.
Dear Sir have observed for the
past two days articles in the Daily
Herald, signed by the campaign com
mittee of one of the candidates for
Mayor. 1t is, of course, the right Of
this committee or any candidate for
Office to discuss the issues of the
campaign, but in view of the fact
that our fair city is now and has
been for some time trying to get to-
gether and all work together in a
spirit of harmony and goodwill, it
is regretful that these gentlemen
should see proper to engage in per-
sonalities and mud-slinging, mill
though it be, when the campaign SO
far had proceeded upon high and
clean plane Of citizenship. Both can
didates for Mayor are most excellent
gentlemen; both have the best in
terests of Marietta at heart, and it
is to be regretted that the friends of
one should employ methods whica,
no doubt, are disapproved personally
by the candidate whose interests the
articles seek to serve
Let us hope, therefore, that all the
good citizens of the town, including
the committee referred to, will use
their best influence to keep the poll
tics of the town upon high and
noble plane of citizenship.
Respectfully,
A VOTER.
