Republican voters at the primary Aug,
Goth, was announced to tour Shiawassee
county on Monday in the interest of
his candidacy. Unfortunately he
sprained his ankle the last of the week
and was unable to get here. In his
stead Congressman Mclaughlin of
Muskegon, and Hon. N. J. Whelan,
former speaker of the house of repre-
sentatiyes, came and spoke at several
towns about the county. Both these
gentlemen gave excellent talks to rather
small crowds at most of the stops
They urged support for Mr.. Diekema
on the ground that he was the best
qualified man for the position on ac-
count of his long experience and
interest in the affairs Of his native
state, his unswerving determination to
do what was right and because of
insistence that the affairs of Michigan
can be more economically handled il
the budget system advocated by him
is adopted. Both the gentlemen took
occasion to give strong endorsement
to the national ticket and Congressman
Mclaughlin referred several times to
the efficiency and worth of Cong.
Fordney, whom he declared should be
retained in congress as long as he WAS
willing to serve. "

Zone of the great factors in the prog
ress of Georgia is the good roads
movement. for nothing SO much as good
roads brings the people together-the
country folks to the city and the town
jewellers to the country. The national
highway between Washington and
Atlanta is doing a good part in this
measure for the advancement of the
state. The parcel post. too. has done
a big work in this direction. for the
people in the country can send their
products to the city as never before.
Some great men have belonged to
Georgia. but none has been regarded
with stronger affection than the late
Joel Chandler Harris, and every Georg-
ian honors his memory. His love Of
children was well known throughout
the land. 1 knew him well. and a
more noble character never lived. His
residence in Atlanta Is now preserved
as memorial by the Uncle Remus
Home Association. and it is open daily
to all who wish to visit the home of
the famous author. There is still upon
the porch the wren's nest around which
SO many of the Uncle Remus stories
were written, and it is one of Atlanta's
cherished relics.
One of the many interesting and
wholly unique art features in the world
is soon to be given to Georgia in the

Borghlum. describes it as a Memorial
to a Movement and the great work OF

sent the Confederacy. will memorialize
