much rain and insufficient sunshine pre-
vented necessary work and all crops are
becoming grassy. Temperatures were
excessively high and conditions were
more favorable in the coast districts.
Cotton in many places is showing rank
growth and Is not fruiting well. Some
shedding and rust are reported in places,
and damage by the boil weevil is in
creasing in southwest portion. Peanuts,
sweet potatoes, and corn are doing we'll,
but need cultivation. Pastures are tine
but making hay is impossible. Peaches
and melons continue to be damaged by
wet weather; heavy shipments continue.
Lowland crops are still under water In
the southern portion of the state and

VOTERS OF GRADY COUNTY
GIVE POTTLE OVATION
Candidate for Governor De-
IiverS Address at Court
House in Cairo
Especial Dispatch to The Journal.)


CAIRO, Ga, July 1S.-Joseph L. Pot
large crowd at the court house here
today. He was introduced by r. c.
Bell, solicitor general of the Alabany
circuit, who referred to Mr.. Pottle as a
great lawyer. a patriotic citizen, loyal
friend, a statesman though not a poll
tician, known as the man who keeps
his word and whose support is the re-
suit OF an impulse on the part of free
voters to have a governor whose qual:i-
cations are founded on a firm bed rock
of character.
Mr.. Pottle spoke an hour and held the
attention of his audience throughout.
The speaker criticized Mr.. Dorsey vigor-
ously and asserted that his admitted
connection with the Louisville and Nash
Vile Railroad company in it's efforts TO
destroy the Western and Atlantic rail-
road disqualified him from being gov
ernor of Georgia. He quoted from the
constitution of the state the provision
making it the duty of the solicitor gen
eral to defend the state in all litigation
brought against it and prohibiting him
from taking the other side, and he ridi-
culed Dorsey's explanation that his law
firm and not himself represented the
other side in that litigation.
Mr.. Pottle declared that Mr.. Dorsey
was appealing to the prejudices and pas
sions of the people and not to their
judgements and their intellects. He ass
serted that Dorsey's position as to ex>
ecutive clemency was a play to prejudice
and asserted that the right of the gov
ernor to pardon was the right to eX-
ercfse the God-given ATTRIBUTE of mercy.
and that attrabute could not and should
not be limited by statute. He asserted
that Mr.. Dorsey was playing both sides
onthe prohibition question and was not
frank and open with the people.

hard facts there is nothing like good old iron
to put color in your cheeks and good, sound,
healthy flesh ON your bones. 1t is also a great
nerve and stomach strengthened and the best
blood builder in the world. The only trouble
was that the old forms of inorganic iron, like
tincture of iron, iron acetate, etc, often
ruined peoples teeth, upset their stomachs and
were not assimilated. and for these reasons
they frequently did more harm than good. But
with the discovery of the newer forms of or
