COLQUITT FARMERS ARE
AGAINST CATTLE DIPPING
BIG AND DETERMINED MEETING
AT MOULTRIE DEMANDS
WORK BE STOPPED.

MOULTRIE, Ga.-A mass meeting
held here today, attended by 1000
Colquitt county farmers, who went
on record as being unalterably OPP
posed to the enforced dipping of cat
tie for tick eradication and adopted
resolutions calling upon the county
authorities to abandon the campaign.
1t was asserted that majority of
the people of the county are opposed
to the tick eradication work, and the
county demonstrators were assailed
for not calling the campaign off. Sew
eral of the speakers asserted that
they had never permitted any of their
cattle to be dipped and that they
would die before submitting to any
such trampling on their rights.
Such statements were met with
wild cheers, and it was plainly evil
dent that large majority of those
attending the meeting entertained
similar views.
1t was a determined body of men
and the few Moultrians present were
astonished to learn that the oppOsi-
ton to the movement to eliminate
the cattle tick from the county was so
formidable.

PLACE. BAN ON SALE
OF WESTERN AND ATLANTIC
THREE OF CANDIDATES FOR
GOVERNOR OPPOSE STATE
SELLING RAILROAD.

ATLANTA.-The fiat declaration
of Hugh M. Dorsey, candidate for
governor, against the sale of the state
road-this declaration coming over
his own signature-defnitely, unal-
terably and unequivocally places
three of the four candidates on that
side of the "big issue"
In letter to his friend, the editor
of the Logansville Record, Mr.. Dor
sey thanks the editor of that weekly
publication for the organization of
"the first Dorsey club" tells him
that he is for the lease of the West
ern and Atlantic railroad, and that
the state Twill never sell it except
over the governors Veto" if Mr.. Dor
sey is elected governor. In the same
letter Mr.. Dorsey admits that he
stands on the question of education
and roads as is outlined in the Cor
dele platform.
DR.. L. G. Hardman some time ago
declared himself against the sale of
the road and fatty for releasing the
property. In an advertisement pub
lished here, which is accepted as the
opening of a Hardman advertising
campaign for the governorship, the
doctor claims credit for the prohibit
ton legislation in Georgia and good
many other things
Pottle Against Speculation"
Mr.. Pottle, in his announcement,
declared it is his purpose to put him
self "unreservedly and aggressively
against its sale or spoilation," in re-
ferring to the state road, and declared
it SHOULD be preserved for our chill
dren and our children's children" He
stands for lease for a long term of
years.
Governor Harris position all along
has been that the matter of lease of
the property should be gone into
carefully, thoroughly and fully; that
the legislature contemplated investi-
cation with a view to going into the
question of a new lease, but he has
held that the entire situation, in ev-
cry respect and from every angle,
should be carefully and fully investi-
gated, and that, before action is tax
en-, every possible item of available
information should be in hand and
the state should know exactly what
can be done.
Thus stands the position of the
gubernatorial prospects as related to
"the states greatest asset.

81 have been treated by skilled spe-
cialists in Birmingham, Atlanta and
