STATEMENT BY
HODGE BAILEY

To the Voters of Grady County: In
mad EFFORT to confuse the minds OF
honest voters and discredit my candi-
daey for the office sf sheriff of Grady
county, certain of the more unscrupu-
lous of my enemies are circulating a
report that did not support the Dem
ocratic nominee for this office in the
last general election. This report and
all others OF like nature, are abso-
lutely without basis in fact, but are in
tended to mislead my friends by calling
into question my party loyalty. 1t also
involves a point of personal honor.
Therefore, to set at rest any doubts
in the minds Of any along the above
lines, | wish, emphatically and finally
to go on record.
| have been a voter for twenty-five
years ! have been a Democrat for
the same length OF time. And, most
emphatically Of all, in the general
election of November, 1912. l did vote
the Democratic ticket-straight from
constable to president, as ! have an
ways done. did support the Demo
cratic nominee for sheriff of this
county in that election. And ! did moi.
use my influence to the detriment Of
any party nominee.
And, lastly. wlsA to state to friend
and foe alike that any assertion touch
ing upon my political integrity and
party loyalty which does not square
with the above facts is deliberately and
unequivocally false, and the parties
circulating such reports know them TO
be malicious lies.
Yours truly,

Railroad Freight Officials Return

Travelling freight and commercial

lines handling Florida farm product:

state and getting in touch with the
actual conditions of every crop to
be moved shortly.
The next great crop to be moved,

the state, is Irish poatoes, and one
II these commercial agents has just
returned from the Hastings, Federal
Point and East Palatka sections,
tributary to Palatka, where they raise
more potatoes to the acre than in
any other part of the country.
In speaking about the conditions
OF the potato crop, he said to the
Times Union:
There are nine thousand acres
planted in Irish potatoes in those two
sections alone, and really they are
but one section, for they almost touch
now and are getting closer together
every season.
They should raise forty barrels
per acre this year; but because the
frost has slightly touched the vines
they are counting on something a
little less than that yield, though old |
experienced potato growers say the |
frost that came did no appreciable |
damage to the crop, beyond a posi-

Congressman Claude L'Engle arriv-
ed in Jacksonville last Saturday and
it is understood will spend some time
in running over the district looking
after his fences. While his health is
much improved, Mr.. L'Engle is still
in poor condition to make the vigo-
rous campaign of former days, and
will therefore be obliged to depend
more on efforts of his friends. At
present there are four candidates
against him-St. Elmo W. Acosta,
Albert Williamson, Joseph Sears and
W. H. Malone. Mr.. Acosta resides in
Jacksonville and it is not thought he
will take much from L'Engle in that
city. Williamson is a quiet worker
and is visiting all pairs of the district.
He is out and out anti-L' Engle.
Sears is from Kissimmee and is a
past grand chancellor of the K. of P.
in Florida, and well-konwn in all
parts of the district. He is no.,
however, considered strong as con-
gressional candidate, except in his
home county. W. H. Malone, were he
alone in the field against L'Engle,
would prove his strongest opponent.
AS it is it seems that L'Engle's
friends will cling to him and the oppo-
sition will be divided between the 9th.
er four. L'Engle's following is pc
culiarly his own and some of them
would follow him over a precipice, 81
great is their admiration for the man.
