HUDSON RECORD.
IS ASSA|LED BY.
CRISP IN SPEECH.
(BY CRANsTON WILLIAMs1

LUMPKIN, Ca, July 29.-At Bow
er's Grove, in the southern end Of
Stewart county, about five miles south
of Lumpkin, Congressman Charles R.
Crisp addressed a gathering Friday
estimated at 750 people in the interest
Of his campaign for reelection to con-
gress from the Third district. The
condition of the crops and the roads III
that section prevented a number of
people from attending the barbecue.
which was arranged through popular
Although somewhat hoarse by
speaking in the open air on several
occasions during the week in the dis
trict, MIR. Crisp spoke for an hour Oh
the measures which he took part in
passing with the Democratic admin
istration and the record of Thomas G.
Hudson, his opponent in the race.
Congressman Crisp stood back of the
rural credits bill which has been re-
Gently enacted by congress, and he
stated he endorsed the measure as
whole, although there were some fea.
lures which he would like to see in
cluded. He told of the accomplish
ments of the administration with the
of the parcel post system,
together with the federal appropria-
tion of $S5,OOOOOO in the interest of
good roads in the United States.
Americanism was endorsed by Con-
gresham Crisp and he stated he was
in favor of restricted immigration. He
emphasized his work in the interest Of
the half and half" plan of govern
ment and taxation in the District of
Columbia, a measure which he spon-
sored and pushed through congress,
despite loud opposition in Washing
ton.
Congressman Crisp said that he
was prohibitionist, and that he did
not qualify his stand He charged
that some of his strongest opponents
were people who were hailed before
him in the City Court of Americus
while he was judge, on charges of
blind tigers" He read what he stat
ed was the stand of Mr.. Hudson on
prohibition some time ago, and said ii
Mr.. Hudson was a prohibitionist it was
Of recent date.
A feature Of the campaign was prom
ised by Mr. Crisp when he said he
would secure list of names of people
to whom had been promiser offices By
Mr.. Hudson, and that he would pub
lish the list. Mr.. Crisp also took UP
charges made against Mr.. Hudson dur
ing his terms of Office as commissioner
Of agriculture of Georgia.
The conclusion of Mr.. Crisp was an
appeal for the suffrage of the people
on the merits of the men and the is
Sues
The new life put in the congress-
icnal race by the charges of Mr.. Crisp
although without personalities, prom
ises to give a decided term for a warm
campaign until September 18th. The
Third district race will overshadow
the gubernatorial campaign and other
political questions.
Sixteen counties of the district are
interested in the race and from this
day ont here will be much for the peo-
pie Of the district to read and hear.

With winter on it's last legs and no
snow of consequence before, the fall
comes as a surprise and delight to
many towns where there must be at
least one snow year. 1t is hailed
throughout the Piedmont as the first

Columbia, Feb. 29.-Prohibitionists
In South Carolina will be "vigilant as
well as active" this summer, accord
ing to J. K. Breedfn Of Manning.
former secretary Of the prohibition
forces. f.:.
In q statement he says: .eJ
so many have written or spoken
to me regarding the likelihood Of a
prohibition campaign this summer
that I feel called upon to say that
prohibitionists will be vigilant as well
as active. We do not regard prohi-
Dition ns an excrescence of emotional'
frenzy likely to be dissipated by time
or opposition; but the average pro-
hibitionist wishes prohibition to be-
come inwrought into the fabric Of
our life as inseparably as the idea
Of taxation. Prohibition is a perma.
nent policy Of social and economic
welfare, not shifting platform for
lspread-eagle oratory. 1t was delib-
erately adopted both by the legisla-
ture and the men of the State at the
polls. Prohibitionists will continue
their campaign OF popular appeal for
some time. Such campaign may
be conducted this spring before can.
didates for office take the field, as
there is no purpose to give our efforts
a political complexion. We shall de-
vote most of our effort to quickening
sentiment for the observance Of the
law"
