PEOPLE NEVER SENT HIM

In his address the other day at Car
rolton Senator Hardwick with great
emphasis declared the people OF Geor-
4 sia never sent him to Washington TO
| take orders, AS TO the accuracy Of
one portion Ct this claim we personal
| " know he is correct in his assertion
The people Of Georgia never sent
! Hardwick to Washington as the sue
cessor of the late Senator A, o. Bacon
Eternal shame on them if they had
Hardwick never went as the popu-
lar representative Of the people of
Georgia Let him remember this, and
may the people who have a thousand
causes to blush always have the sat
isfaction of knowing they never sent
him.
Hardwick and his political associ-
ates beat his way to Washington,
bought his way, stole and plundered
it from the people after it. had been
given TO another man. They did that
in The Macon convention of 1914, one
of the most dishonorable, dishonest,
most shameful political disgraces
ever heard of in a generation in Geor-
gia. The people never sent Hardwick
to Washington. 1t is a pretty well
settled certainly that they never will
send him there for anything as their
representative,
lie declares he waa not sent there
10 take orders He boasts that he is
no rubber stamp senator and thinks
that is cute saying Well, il isn't.
Il rather reveals the shallowness Of
ihis pn-headed mapls intellect. DR.
M. Ashby Jones answers this boast
in a sensible way with these words:
i perfer to be represented by a
rubber stamp that would write
Georgia under Woodrow Wilson
than by the heels of man who is
continually making headon collisions
with The mental ability of the preai-
dent" And Or Jones replies with a
great deal of force. You Georgians
who knew the late Senator Bacon,
will you have to do with sending this
man back as his successor?

G. 0.P. DELEGATES
Committeeman ABANDON PRE-.
CTNCT CAUCUSES-TELL THE
CHAIRMAN TO DO 1T.

Republican precinct committee
men. meeting here last Saturday af-
ternoon, decided not to hold caucuses
in their precincts to select 10 dele
gates to the represent the county in
the state convention in Tacoma, June
|27, but to let the county chairman,
w. H. Hosler of the state land Office,
appoint them.
Chairman Hosler proposed the
caucus plan, but G. c. Winstanley OBJ
jected, and l.. L. Bowers of Little
Rock moved the adoption of the
other method. Winstanley seconded
and the proposal carried. Hosler
was also chosen to head the delega-
ton. The idea of a county conven-
ton was declared impractical. owing
to the shortage of labor and the
rush of war work.
Each committeeman was instruct
ed to make recommendations to
Chairman Hosler, who stated he
would take his time in making the
appointments, and try to get Repub-
licans who would attend the state
gathering.
Harry L. Lewis of the county
auditors Office was appointed secre-
tary of the county central committee
by Chairman Hosler. to fill the unex-
pired term of r. A. Cruikshank. who
died year ago.

ECHO Of COUNTY GAME
FARM IS HEARD AGAIN
Dealer for Wire, Is Thrown
Out Of Court.

Another episode in the county's
experience with the game farm at
Buffers cove, established several
years ago when C. A. Burr was audi
tor and later abandoned, occurred
the fore part of this week when the
county game commission attempted
to sue secondhand dealer to re-
cover some wire fencing and pens.
and the case was thrown out of
court.
When it came on for hearing, SUI
perior Judge Wilson ruled that the
commission had no authority to sue
anybody. Consequently If the action
is continued. 1t will have to be
brought by the county commission
ers. and it is expected this course
will be followed.
The commission alleges that the
wire fencing and pens were bought
by the county when the game farm
was established. and that H. w.
Myers. who first operated it. signed
an agreement to buy It; that Myers
sold the farm to w. E. Cage and that
Cage sold the fencing and pens to H.
A Tennison, secondhand dealer.
This, the. commission claims, he had
no right to do and now it Is trying
to recover the value of the property
from Tennison.

REGlSTnAN|TS MUST
| WORK now OR FIGHT
NEW GOVERNMENT ORDER, EFF.
FECTIvE JULY 4. HITS AT
ALL LOAFER6. &n

s after July 1t will be work OF
f1gfits for all men Of draft age, a
drastic amendment to the selective
service regulations having been is-
sued by. the war department this
week.
Not only idlers, but all draft reg
istrants engaged in what are held to
be nonuseful occupations are to be
hailed before local boards and given
the choice Of q new job or the army.
Gamblers, race track and bucket
shop attendants and fortune tellers
head the list, but those who will be
reached by the new regulations also
include walters and bartenders, the
ater ushers and attendants, passen-
ger elevator operators and other at
tendants Of clubs, hotels, stores. ETC.,
domestics and clerks in stores.
The order does not mean, however.
that the government proposes to con-
script labor, Secretary of War Baker
said. While the order forces idlers
either to work or fight and directs
men from non-essential lines into es-
sential war tasks, 1t is not intended
as a club above the heads of men
who strike. Baker said.
The war departments policy to-
ward labor Is to give 1t adequate
wages and fair treatment, and it was
said there is no plan to govern the
labor situation in q military way.
In an explanation accompanying
the regulations, Provost Marshal
General Crowder said:
Zone of the unanswerable criti-
cisms of the draft has been that It
takes men from the farms and from
useful employuients and marches
them past crowds of idlers and loaf
ers away to the army. The remedy
is simple--to couple the industrial
basis with other grounds for. exemp-
ton and to require that any man
pleading exemption on any ground
shall also show that he is cOntribut-
ing effectively to the industrial well
fare of the nation"

NO CONTROL OVER
SUBSTITUTE PRICES
FAILED TO AUTHOR
IZE PRICE.FIXING, HEBBERD
TELLS DEFENSE COUNCIL.

Had congress conferred upon the
food administration or the president
the power to regulate the price Of
corn, oats. barley and other coarse
grains. as it did wheat. the prices of
these grains would not have gone to
the ridiculous heights that they did
in the early winter and spring this
year and our people would not have
been paying the high prices that we
have had to pay for substitutes"
This is one of the statements made
by Charles Hebberd, state food ad-
ministrator, in letter to George
Draham. chairman Of the county
council of defense, In response to the
protest the local council recently
adopted regarding the high prices of
substitutes.
''In the absence of regulation of
prices by the government on these
raw materials" Hebberd's letter con-
tinues, they will always respond to
an increased demand.
"Your council can be of service in
this matter" 1t adds, 'if you will
assist in impressing upon senators
and representatives the necessity of
controlling the prices Of coarse grains
If the control of wheat prices Is to
continue"
Administrator Hebberd anticipates
"a considerable reduction in the
prices of substitutes with in the next
few weeks" In explaining some OF
the reasons for the high prices. he
said that last years crop was about
six weeks late, that much of it was
soft. that when it was ready to move
the railroads were blocked by bliz-
yards. and that when 1t did finally
reach the mills the demand for sub
stitute flours had grown so heavy
that "cash corn rose to unheard-of
prices"
The price of corn and oats has
dropped considerably in the past two
or three weeks. he says, but he adds
that ''it will be several weeks before
these older stocks of high priced
substitutes are consumed and before
1.-THE new lower priced substitutes are
received In this state
