DEAD AND BURIED.

Two years ago the shadow of the
sinister figure Of Thomas E. Watson
was over the Macon convention, and
his spirit was a dominating force in
its proceedings.
Governor Dorsey, first proposed by
Watson and supported by him, was
being nominated and Watson, who
had made himself an issue in the cam
paign, was vital factor in the con.
vention. He was a masterful figure
By even his enemies respect was en-
tertained for him Though he was a
hundred or more miles away, he was
almost present at the Macon gather
ing, and his friends were there by
the scores, ready and willing to praise
him, to brag of him, to defend him, if
necessary.
How different was the Macon CON
vention yesterday!
In the meantime the star of Wat
son has fallen and with the force of
meteor flung from its bearings it
struck the earth and buried itself al
most out of sight. Yesterday the loyal
Democrats of Georgia buried it even
deeper 1t is covered up now so that
it never will be resurrected. 1t is
buried with the slime of its own crea-
ton. It's grave is one of political
infamy. If a stone should be raised
and an epithaph engraved thereon, it
might read
Here Lies The Political Corpse
Of One Who, When His Country
Called Him Most, Turned A Deaf
Ear To Its Pleading Cry; One
Who Placed Politics Above Patri-
otism, and Self Above Service;
One Who Pulled Back When He
Could Have Pushed Forward; One
Who Was Mean When He Could
Have Been Magnificent. Who Was
Tagging and Lacking When He

who had been ardent supporters of
Watson in the halcyon days of his
Fl ;me, when his wonderful intellect
lowered above his fellow-men like a
majestic pine in a thicket of scrub

TALLY of men who had followed Wat
sons paths of political reasoning, un-
til his ways became too devious and
even he was lost in it's labyrinthian
mazes, pronounced the elegy and
sounded the death-knell-this con-
vention, comprised of Georgians all

like radiant shaft out of heaven,

and who had followed it ever on, re-
CARELESS of personal sacrifice. rang
a tocsin that will reverberate through
out the nation, proclaiming this states
unbounded fidelity to the government
and echoing warning to all dealers

The convention did this when it re-
fused to play politics with the plea of
Watson that he be given a special
privilege enjoyed by none others, to
the extent of having his appeal for
a turnover primary considered by the
convention instead of by the Tenth
district executive committee, the tri-
bunal lawfully created to hear it. 1t
did this when it said to Watson that he
must present his cause in the forum

worthless pretensions.

Ny dear friend
The United States Government be-
gan it's Fourth Liberty Loan drive
last Saturday. They expect to sell
six ti:..cn dollars worth of bonds, but
with the aid of my friends 1 expect
to defeat them. If they go over the
top it means the end of Autocracy and
me.
My intentions are to start hell
here on earth but if my friends go
back on me and buy bonds (my worst
enemy will certainly lose.
For you to buy them will enable
nv enemies to build ships to trans
port soldiers land believe me they
are some fghters) to Europe, also to
furnish them with clothes, rations and
plenty of ammunitions and guns,
which will mean certain defeat for
me for if the folks at home buy bonds
cannot win.
When you fail to buy bonds you
stab YOUR boys in the back and in
that way you help me to win.
If you don't want me to lose, don't
buy any bonds, for they are the most
destructive and longest range guns
in the world. They will enable your
bovs to drive me back home and take
all the land that have over-run.
have over run Belgium, Serbia,
Montenegro and Northern France and
ruined Russia, and with you aid l
expect to capture England and your
own United States.

and women and making slaves out
of all the other people in the world.
I'm the guy that raised hell here on
earth for l want to rule the world,
and can't do it if you buy Liberty
bonds. My friends will not buy them
and if you want to be my friend don't
buy them.
Ny submarines were sinking all the
ships that sailed and killed all OF
YOUR people until your Uncle Sam
stopped me.
You will do me great favor by
not buying Liberty bonds, for then

urrmany, IUr the nrsI tlme since
its legions swept over Belgium into
France more than four years ago, is
really on the defensive
The Allies, no longer on the defen-
sive, with their backs against the
wall, are ON the aggressive. They
have the offensive at all points of the
line, extending from Egypt to the
North Sea.
There have been times when the
British lion was forced to the last
line of defense. There have been
times when the roar of the guns were
plainly heard in Paris, and when the
Kaiser's hosts were within less than
forty miles of the French capital.
There have been times when it SEEM
ed that the hordes of Austrians would
overrun Italy. There have been times
when the Allies were helpless in ST.
IBERIA in Palestine, in Egypt, near
Saloniki, in Belgium. There have
been times when most of the civilized
world held it's breath in tense excite
ment, lest the final break should come
and the Prussians should sweep on
to relentless victory.
But all of that has changed The
world breathes easy again. The bat
tlefronts are no longer made to or
der by the Kaiser and his councillors.
The Huns can no longer pick the
ground they wish to fight on. They
no longer have time to construct mag
nificent Notifications and to equip
their underground quarters with all
the comforts and luxuries of home.
The Kaiser can no longer address his
troops with a staggering air, boasting
of his conquests and speaking con-
temptuously of the Allies. He can no
longer poke fun at the Americans and
sheer at their pretensions and their
plans.
The Hun is on the run. He is wor-
ried, harrassed, sorely wounded,
bleeding from thousand pores He
is giving up ground he has held for
four years. He is releasing his grip
on the great coal mines and iron
ln,nes of France He is fearful lest
his own country soon feel the iron
heel of the invader In front of him
he has determined foe; behind him
he has a sprely tried, disgruntled
populuace, unable to be deceived any
longer as to the truth of the situa-
ton Victory is not near, but it is
certain; and every day makes a lib
erty bond a better investment.

If he or she then refused to take their
full amount their names should be
left on the blackboard with the
amount they paid, and all the other
names that took their quota would be
erased.
This by a process Of elimination
would force people through fear to
take their full amount even though
their financial condition would not
permit it, and if they were Americans
enough to live up to what their judges
thought was right, their names would
be left on the blackboard. After the
meeting the clerk of the district
should then write down all the names
left on the blackboard and a record
of their excuses should be sent to the
office of the War Savings Chairman.
Now, men and women or Grant

chairman Of that kind Of organization
because it is not American. It smells
too much of Militarism 1t makes the
few people who are in charge tyrants
over their neighbors; it does not APP
peal to American manhood; it APP
peals to fear and towards; it creates
enmity among neighbors; it makes
people whose circumstances at pres
ent are not the best either to own up
to it or make too great a sacrifice
through fear; it creates disloyalty;
it makes people dissatisfied with the
method of force and does not make
loyal, patriotic Americans who, when
the real hour of need is at hand, will
not stand back Of their government

pear in Lancaster on 3-27-18, at a
meeting as chairman of So. Potosi to
receive instructions and literature as
to the manner of carrying on the cam

HERALD CLEARING HOUSE
FOR LOSERS AND FINDERS.

Last Wednesday Jas. Bevins of So.
Lancaster, called at the Herald office
and advertised that he had found a
pOcketbOok containing a large sum
of money. Mr.. Bevins found the mon
ey and purse on Pigeon hill and i'm
mediately dropped in to have this Of
flee find the owner. Saturday after
noon J. w. Meyers, another South
town farmer, came in and wished to
advertise that he had lost a purse
containing 5000. Mr.. Meyers de-
scription was SO exact that the edi-
tor told him at once to see Mr.. Bev-
ms about it. Mr.. Meyers had taken
all his papers out of his purse before
coming to town and there was moth

one who would not do his or her duty.
We started the drive on Sunday,
April 7th with patriotic meeting ap-
pealing to Americans to do their
duty.
When we went amongst them they
received us with a smile and did
more than our government asked,
and by Thursday, the 18th day of APP
ril at o'clock, we were over the top.
In carrying out the advice of the Hon
Mr.. Baxter l did not have to report
one name as a disloyal citizen. On
June 18th [ received another mes
sage to appear in Lancaster the same
day at one o'clock to receive instruc-
tons as chairman for War Savings
Stamps for So. Potosi. Well and
good.
The chairman of the county not be-
ing present, Mr.. Orchard of Lancas-
ter, conducted the meeting and in
structed us to hold meetings in ev-
cry schOolhOuse in our township in
compliance with the Presidents and
Governors proclamation. We were
instructed according to the announce
ments which read, Each taxpayer
and wage earner's name should be
placed on the blackboard of the re-
spective school district and the
amount they should subscribe in War
Savings Stamps. The man or wo-
man who could not take what was ex-
pected of them which his neighbors
thought was just, should make their
excuse as to why they could not do
it, and the next highest amount that
his neighbors thought he should take
should then be put on the blackboard

In answer to Mr.. Chris Kartman's
article in your last issue would like
to draw his attention to the fact that
at the meeting held in Lancaster on
June 18th, there was motion made
and carried to assess according to
ability to pay, not according to per
