Dear Sir:
The recent call in your columns
asking me to become a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for Mayor
has been read by me with careful
consideration and with much pleasure
IL has led me to believe that the pol
icies adopted during my administra-
ton have met with the approval OF
those to whom | am indebted for the
honor of having been permitted to fill
the highest office within the gift Of
the people of this city for the eight
years now coming to a close. This
compliment is to ME a source of great
qualification, cdming as it does from
citizens of my native town in which
my whole life has been spent, AMI
where my faithful friends have so of
ten honored me with public office.
both in city and in county. When I
recall the five terms as Mayor and
several terms IS Councilman, and
three terms in the State Legislature.
together with frequent offices Within
my party which | have been permit
ted to fill. it may seem that | ought
not to refuse the request of those
who have thus honored me and have
made it possible for me to say | have
never been denied any office to which
| have aspired.
am deeply grateful for all the 10y
atty of my friends and for this renew
ed expression of confidence and good
,, will. all of which have striven to de-
serve through conscientious service
for the upbuilding and betterment Of
Paris and Bourbon County. Their IN
terests | have always considered,
Identical with my own, and have ell
deavored at all times to give to the
supervision of my duties as Mayor
| the same care and attention that
would devote to my own personal at
| fairs.
BY watchfulness as Mayor and guard
ian of the city's resources with the
faithful cooperation of my associates
in Office as we'll as the efficiency o!
my predecessor and others before him
we have been able to point with
pride to- the growth of Paris into the
best city of it's size I'm our State.
! By a conservative expenditure OF
1.-THE resources at our disposal we have
been able to accomplish this without
a large burdensome debt and have
been able besides to materially re
duce the city's bonded debt.
1t has ever been my policy to pro
vide every advantage and improve
Iment for the city consistent with goot
business judgment, and to accomplish
this has meant no little burden OF re
sponsibility, and sacrifice of time ane
thought, all of which has been cheer
fully given in return for the conn

To Organize Local
Market DepOts in Ga.

Atlanta, Ga. Sept. (SpeciaD
Two Representatives Of the Georgia
State Bureau Of Markets are now
engaged in organizing local market
depots in towns and cities over the
state, where the farmers of each
particular community may find
ready sale for their surplus feod
products.
Already some fifty of these local
depots have been organized in as
many counties, the arrangements
varying all the way from locating q
single merchant who is willing to
buy these products, to the estab-
lishmeut of a $4,000 incorporated
company, with So farmer members,
at Corrollton, Ga, where it is pro
posed to assemble products in car
load lots and put them in shape for
market.
The services Of the bureau are
promptly at the disposal Of any
community in the state desiring
them, for this purpose. The bureau
is anxious to have those communi,
ties where such an organization has
not yet been perfected, make appli-
cation at once. Every county in
Georgia should have its own well
organized depot, and through these
the state bureau will be able hest tc
cooperate in finding the most adj
vantage9us markets for all Of Geor-
gia' S surplus food products.

The Coal Situation.

Under that section of the state
market bureau law passed at the
last session Of the Legislature, whioh
provides that it may institute in
quiry and proceedings to prevent
unlawful combinations or agree
ments in restraint of trade, nirec-
tor i. B. Jackson has written
Chairman VIM. Harris of the Fed
raj Trade Commission in Washing
ton, calling attention to the serious
ness OF the coal situation at praeti-
cally every point in Georgia, and
the fact that no remedy has come
as yet, Notwithstanding She action
Of President Wilson in fixing stan
dard prices at mines.
Mr.. Jackson in his letter, fur
nishes the trade commission with
evidence that the coal miners are
disobeying the order of the Presi-
dent and do not intenl to sell at
the prices fixed. An Atlanta deal
er who has offered spot cash for
coal to number of miners in this
territory, has te6n met by the an
swer chat they have NO coal for sale
at the prices named by the Presi
dent, but have already sold their
output to dealers at higher prices,
In this connection Mr.. Jackson
says to the trade commission:
What good is there to come
from the President naming prices
if the people are to be met with the
statement that there is no coal to
be had at such prices? Somebody
is going to be hurt badly, if some-
thing is not done at once. II the
people are going to have to pay the
high prices for coal which have
been prevailing, then the quicker
the government lets them know
this, then the better. Please let
me know what disposition is to be
made Of this complaint. /"
A reply from the federal trade
commission as to action in this
matter will be awaited with inter
est.

Young Harris, who has just

broke into print when he was offer

OF flying machine, OF $50 "O and

by a Canadian concern. Harris Is
Il mechanical genius, and besides
inventing the roadster of the sky, 4,
or what Ford is to an automobile,
he has several minor things. He
recently made miniature railroad
locomotive, an exact duplicate OF
the moguls that run on the tracks.
This engine was demonstrated at
several fans last fall, among them
the Georgia Carolina Fair at Angus.

ious for Harris to demonstrate his
aerial roadster, and will arrange
for its transfer to Fort Monroe from

The machine which Harris has
invented, when complete, will
weigh less than 100 pounds, but is
capable of travelling in excess Of
seventy-fve miles and hour. 1t
takes flight from speed Of less than
fifteen miles an hour, which is not
obtained by the motor or engine,
but by the feet foot of the oper.
ator. The operator of the machine
is supposed to take running start,
just as the operator of a motorcycle,
and then the machine rises majesti-
caIly in the air and scars to I'm
known heights. The aerial road
oter" is SO light in weight and SO
easily handled that it alights, after
fight, with the greatest ease, thus
one of the most difficult
features Of aviation.
The inventor received the inspira-
ton to construct such a machine
by studying the fight Of a buzzard.
When the machine is once in the
air, it is operated by motor that
runs plopellers to obtain the re
quired speed The motor was built
BY Harris himself. 1t generates
tremendous power and weighs but
little.
When Congressman Brand was
interviewed concerning this ma

will accomplish what he sincerely
believes for it," Continuing he
said: "They were only too glad to
order the young mans transfer to

Harris invention is the subject
of much talk, especially in his
home town, Greensboro, and the
citizens believe that Harris will be
admitted into the parlors of fame
and become as famous as Wright
