BEYOND CONSIDERATION.

Schley Howard is no longer CON,
sidered in the senatorial race.
He has placed himself beyond the
pale of consideration.
Having proven himself deliber,
ate, unmitigated liar, he has forfeited
the respect of decent-thinking Geor'
gians, as we'll as the respect of the
president of the United States.
By his present conduct in COINS
back on his own word, and in acting
contrary to his promise to the pres
ident. and in defying the president
when the latter asks for unison and
harmony in Georgia politics, Schley
Howard has made himself altogether
worse than Hardwick!
And that's going some, even fol

VICTORY vs.. DEFEAT.

What does the defeat of Germany
mean to every American? 1t means
that we are to go on in the freedom
we have always lived a liberty that
knows no kings or kaisers. 1t means
that we shall go on living it and low
ing it and welcoming to its benefits
those who prove their right to live
the life Of freedom. 1t means that
tthc United States will continue, with
Kna15re toward none, with charity fo~
all, lighting the world to Liberty
glorious model, patient teacher, a
wise guide to lovers of democracy
throughout the world.
The r!ctcry Of Germany in this war,
which the blood-crazed Kaiser has
forced upon civilization, would mean
the destruction of every ideal that
mas been the inspiration of the Amer
Ican people. Not so easily have we
won freedom that we shall yield
meekly to autocracy as it makes its
struggle to trample the world under
foot. Ours is a noble heritage and
behind Americas army of 1918 march
Washington's men of '76 and Lin
coins men of '61 Perry and John
Paul Jones, Farragut and Porter
brave Admirals ALL are on the
decks of the ships We send to fight
for the freedom of the seas.
Speculation as to what would hap
pen IL Germany won this war is flu
tile, for if Kaiserism wins we ceas,
to be freemen and the right of indie
pendent thought and free speech. TO
which millions in all lands and al
ages have sacrificed their lies, woul'
be lost-a thing to fight for and vii
all over again.
The worlds democracies must tri
umph or the iron collar of despotisn
will be riveted upon the necks o
their peoples. The issue is write
large upon the heavens; government
by the people for the people, or dom
Ination by Frankenstein whose wea
yon is a bloody mace of iron.

HARDWICK REPUDIATED BY
THOMAS Z. WATSON.

Major c. f. McGregor, member
of the state Democratic executive
committee, who is perhaps Thomas f
Watson's closest personal friend, has
formerly protested against Senator
Hardwick's name being published on
tbe official ballot of the Democratic
party in the forthcoming primary.
He declares that Senator Hardwick
is not entitled to any Democratic
considera(i ion, 1nasmuch as he has
been disloyal to his nation to his
party, and to his constituents.
The chief significance in connection
with this is that it shows Watson is
against Hardwick.
For several weeks, ever since ne
himself realized he had lost the sup
port of all other voting elements,
Hardwick has sought to curry favor
with the Watson crowd, by posing as
their friend and by pretending to be
the friend and the champion Of Mr..
Watson.
However, there are some things
that even watson apparently won't
stand for, and one of them is Har1-
wick.
Through his friend, Major McGre-
sor, Mr.. Watson has repudiated Hard
wick, and has put his friends and
the world on notice that he wants the
junior senator defeated.
We DOUBT the advisability of the
rrocedue ado!ted by Major McGregor.
It is not easy to read a man out
his party. no matter what he ha'
done. The fact that Hardwick has
been disloyal does not take away }
Democratic membership. Judas also
was a traitor, but he was none the
less disciple, a member of the Lords
band. The best thing is to aawit the
election, and permit the people OF
C.~,rgja 70 read Hardwick's title clear
to the skies. They will read him out
and do it So thoroughly that never
again W.: ne have the temerity to
rop his head up in Georgia politics.
With every patriotic citizen against
hiu, with the Watson followers re-
fqSjng to swallow him, with the far
mers gong back on him, Hardwick is
between the devil and the deep blue
sea, like Mabomet's coffin, swinging
IL empty space, will all above avoid
ing him and the earth below getting
away from his touch as fast as it can

PATRIOTIC GEORGIANS.

Some of the opposing candidates in
dulge in attempted ridicule Of Hon.
W. ]. Harris because there are a
number of Georgians out speaking in
behalf of his candidacy.
However, it is one of the happy
encouraging signs of the times that
there are such men on the stump for
Mr. Harris.
1t is one of the most convincing in
stances that Harris is going to be
elected. and that Hardwick is going
to be defeated because he deserves to
re beaten.
The list of Harris speakers" is
long, comprising distinguished, men
from all sections of tn estate-men
without selfish ambition, men who are
adopting this patriotic course without
fear of punishment or hope of reward
men who are inspired solely by their
love of state and actuated by deep
sense of indignation that Georgia
should have been subjected to the hui
initiation Hardwick has brought upon
it.
Is there a single man publicly
speaking for Howard? No!
Is there single man publicly
speaking for Hardwick? MOI!
The fact, then. that nearly two
score of prominent Georgians have
volunteered their services to Mr.. Har-
ris is proof itself that the candidacy
ot Mr.. Harris represents something
more than a personal ambition-it is
! proof that his candidacy stands for
those principles, that fidelity to gov
eminent, that faithfulness to public
trust, that fealty to the commander,
in chief, that all loyal and patriotic
/ Georgisns espouse at all times anC
i especially in critical times like tn,
| present. 1t shows they love theil
state. and want it to stand honorabl!

Have You
Noticed?
That the fur houses
: which had the market
quoted entirely too high
in their November price
lists have "sneaked out"
with new prices, quoting
furs from 10 TO so per
cent lower, and did you
also notice that they did
not say one word about
the market being lower
in their reading matter?
In fact, they talked
the Market Up and
quoted the Prices Down,
a kind OF Higher but
Lower, fool the shipper
to get his furs camou-
fiage that surpasses any
thing OF its kind we ever
saw. Are fur shippers
going TO let them get
away with this kind OF
stuff? We don't think
so.
Compare the Abraham
Fur Co. December price
list with these other
price lists and see which
one strikes you as be-
ing on the square. We
warned you in Novem-
Der that some houses
were quoting prices
above market value and
we told you in plain
words in our December
list that the market is a
little lower. We are the
only house that told fur
shippers the truth about
the fur market.
II you want reliable
information about the
market, reliable grad
ing, reliable, honest re-
turns for your furs,
ship them to the Abra-
ham Fur Co. We guar
: antee to give you an
Z honest grade and salts
factory returns in cash
for every skin shipped
to US at all times. We
: don't "Juggle the Grade
to FIT the Price," and
II we can't get your busi-
ness on this basis we
will have TO get along
without II.
Notwithsts nding, our
prices were lower than
any other house, fur
z shippers soon found out
that our grading was
better and that we were
sending them more
money for their ship
ments than the high
uuoter, and as q result,
we received more furs
in the past thirty days
than ever before.
Ship all your furs 20
the Abraham Fur Co.
: and rest assured your
: interests will be fully
protected.

We Want
Your Furs

in the year, and it will
pay you to do business :
with the Abraham Fur :
Co. whenever you have :
any furs to sell. Our :
big, flourishing, success :
full fur house was not :
built on wind" did not :
grow up over night like :
a mushroom, but was :
founded many years ago :
and grew and expanded :
gradually and steadily :
through conscientious :
application of honest :
business methods. :
We have built up an :
organization that knows :
all about how to buy :
and sell furs - that :
knows how to prepare
furs for tie manufac- :
turing trade SO that they :
can be sold at highest :
possible prices. :
Our gani z alton :
knows more about furs :
and the fur business :
than any other fur or :
ganiZatiOn in the United :
States, and this is the :
big reason why we can :
and do pay fur shippers
more for their furs day :
after day and year aft :
er year. It's all in :
knowing how. :
Most of our competi- :
tors are merely eur :
scaIpers" who take the
furs of many fur ship
pers, throw them in one :
pile and sell them on :
bids to local dealers. Z
They cannot get full :
value for every shipper :
by this method-the :
buyer is bidding on a :
"cat in the bag" for he :
does not know how :
these furs will grade
out, and consequently
he plays the anne safe :
and figures the doubt in z
his own favor. This :
partly explains why you Z
sometimes get a good
price and then almost
nothing for your next :
shipment from the So
called auction houses. :
Not so with the Abra- Z
ham Fur Co. Every skin
is bought on grade and
sold on grade-every
skin brings every penny :
il is worth when we sell
il and every shipper gets
every penny his skins
are worth when he sells
them to the Abraham
Fur Co. No guess work.
No estimating the value.
Every fur sells on its Z
merits when Skinned to Z
MS and when sold by US. :
You take no chances
when shipping to Abra-
ham Fur Co. :
