From Vader Stewart.

Mir. Hunter seems to regret very much that the influenza epidemic necessitated a ruling by the State Board of Health. requiring that all public meet ings must be prohibited which caused him to cancel the dates announced by him and Mr. Crawford. It seems that it is not yet clear to MT. Hunters mind, why 1 refused to meet him in a discussion. In the first place. MT. Hunter said he was not going to make a campaign, that he could stay in his office and beat me; then after 1 had canvassed several townships. he decided to come out and speak at only fifteen places in the county, and invited me to be present. in order to either defend or deny some reports that were calculated to be damaging to his candidacy, woich reports, the peaple knew 1 had not circulated.
 Now, Mir. Hunter. 1 have never said anything against your character, and if there has been any false reports circulated on you, then why do you not get in your saddle and straighten them? You only wanted to make a partial campaign. that's the reason 1 refused to meet you. and not because was afraid to meet you at all, for l am not afIaid to meet you for discussion at any time
 Will say to the citizens. in re. gard to my patriotism. as l said in my annouucement, and still say. toat 1 am as patriotic as l know how to be. While have not bought any Liberty Bonds, l have bought stamps and donat- ed to the Red Cross every time l had an oppornity. Not only that, but l have been producing all that 1 could on the farm to help the boys who are fighting and dying for the virtue of the mothers and daughters of Bel gium and France, and for world wide Democr acy. Had 1t not been for my misfor, une, which renders me incapable of par ticipatlng in any active service Of a military nature. would have been today in the trenches with our boys shooting Germans
 will day in conclusion, in re- gard to Mr. Hunters demerits. l spoke of MT. Hunter have you forgotten the gentleman from South of the river who called at your office for some land papers. amp you refused to look for them. said you had just as we'll look for a needle in a hay stack? No doubt MT. Hunter has forgotten that.
 Here is a statement from w. A. Milton. Tn regard to what Mr. Hunter said in the Herman D. Huggins case, also an affidavit from MT. T. T. Sells.
 Now, Mr. Hunter, can you

Hunters Reply
 To Stewart.

Mr. Stewart. l desire to tell the people. that when you say 1 EVER refused to look for Hand papers, or any thing else in my office, for ANY man, you LIED: { l am desirous that you under stand me, and 1 know you can un- derstand this. II have been on the job 365 days in the year, (except- ing Sundays) since 1 have been in office, and have done my FULL duty, and to think you will come and intimate that l refused to accommodate a man is more than 1 will take,
 Now, Mir. Stewart, in regard to why you would not meet me in joint discussion" Pll say that 1 did send you registered letter. which you refused to answer, but 1 waited until 1 saw you, and asked you to meet me and you refused. Afterward you and MT. Arlington said thro- ugh local papers that you want ed to make a clean. straight, honest race, and that was the reason you refused to meet us. Now, Mr. Stewart. as a matter Of fact, the reason you did not meet me, was that you had cir culated some things that you were unable to establish and that were false and you knew when you were putting these re- ports out that you could not eS- tablish them, and knew that you would be called upon to do so, therefore you declined to accept my invitation. Now, Old ''Prtriot," if you really wanted (as you say. clean, straight" campaign, you would CERTAIN LY acknowledge that the only way to have it IS to meet in joint discussion, and not b eat around through the brush and scatter dope" where you could not be easily detected, as you have done all the way through.
 You asked why 1 do not get in the saddle and straighten up the false reports you and your friends have circulated; Yes, 1 say again that you and your friends. and your own kin as we'll, have cir culated some of the most slan- derious reports that any man could think of, and. if you deny it, I'll produce the affidavits that your own father and an. Uncle of yours have have bee n guilty. All of which reports, 1 say are false from beginning to end.
 But my reasons for not get ting in the saddle" as you sug- gested. Ill say, First, l have a duty to perform, and have held up my hand and sworn that 1 would faithfully discharge this duty. and that is my main reason for not taking the Sad dle"
 Second, l have too much con- tidence in the citizenship of our grand old county to think that THEY will be swept off their feet" by a lot of ''insinuations" and false accusation, when you have been absolutely unable to

 Now. in regard to this "patri', otism. " about which you boast so much, 1 will say that it is pity that you only had ONE opportunity to donate to the Red Cross. for you said you had donated every chance you had" for 1 examined the Record, and and have found that you donate d the MINIMUM amount only once I have also eXimined the Record and found that you, (Mr. bundle of ''Patriotism') have bought the great amount of S15. DO worth of stamps. Yes, if every man was as patriotic as you, Uncle Sam would have already borrowed so much money, I doubt if he could repay it.
 Again, l am surprised, that you. MT. Patriot (after an un- successful attempt by Mir Ar rington to prejudice a few of the people in regard to the Huggin's case, and after you have been to Huggins' house and partaken of his hospitaity) will come in at the eleventh hour and try to arouse a little prejudice. and gain a few votes. and when l never did have anything to do or say either for or against him or any other boy. It is true that Mir. Milton came to my office one day when was busy, at my post of duty, trying to attend to my own affairs. and ask ed me what 1 knew about the "Huggins Case" but told him at the time that 1 did not know any thing about 1t and was not inter- ested Tn 1t any way, and refused to have anything to say about 1t but did say hat so far as l knew, the boy was a good work CT and good trader or some. thing to that effect, but added that 1 had never taken any stock in it and that l preferred to re main neutral, as 1t was none of my business.

lie roads, and furnishes service to
the following well known people.

The subscribers on this line are now
in constant communication with each

Under the plan of the Southern
Bell Telephone Company farmers and
other rural dwellers are enabled to
secure telephone service on an econo-

AcWORTH GIVES LOT FOR
DEMONSTRATION GARDEN

Acworth is to have demonstra-
ton garden. Some days ago when
the Home Economics Agent, Mrs.
SAWYER. was over there she express
ed a wish for such a garden, and up
on her return to Marietta, she re-
ceived the letter below, which glows
with fine spirit of progress.
'Mrs. D. E. Sawyer, Home Econo-
mics Agent, Marietta, Ga.
Dear Mrs. Sawyer:
"All preliminaries have been ar
ranged here for that demonstration
garden, and many of us are enthusi-
aistc over the idea of having it here
and the outlook for its success. Mr..
Smith, whom | spoke of to you, is
very much interested indeed and will
do everything in his power to make
it a success. He is an experienced
gardener, but is anxious to operate
the garden exactly as instructed by
you. We have secured a splendid
plat, right in town, just opposite the
railway station, and we think just the
right size and slope. The local oil
mill and fertilizer works have re-
quested that they be allowed to fur
nish all the fertilizer needed. / feel
sure the local merchants will be more
than glad to furnish the seed. We
can get all the other cooperation
wished for from the citizens in gen.
eral.
"Mr. Smith is anxious to see you
just as soon as possible before pro-
ceeding, as of course, you both wish
a thorough understanding in regard
to all phases of the matter.
We are ready and anxious to do
our part, and surely appreciate your
designating Acworth for your demon
stration garden. We realize what a
great benefit this will mean to our
community.
with very kindest regards to your
self and Dr. Sawyer, / remain,
"Yours very truly,
E. w. RAY"
In this connection, but without the
permission of Mrs. Sawyer, we wish
to remind our people that no progress
has yet been made toward getting
such a garden in Marietta.
Personally, we know that the mat
ter has been held up for the lack of
the proffer of suitable lot in town,
while we feel sure that there are
many such lots that will not be other
wise cultivated or made use of in
any way this year.

SEVENTH DISTRICT
HIGH SCHOOL MEET

One of the greatest events of the
school year, and one to which we are
all looking forward, is the annual
District Meet which is to be held this
year in Marietta, on the twelfth and
thirteenth of April. There is no
greater incentive to class and ath-
letic work than the chance of rep
resenting Rome High at this meet.
The greatest rivalry is aroused year
ly and much hard work is done by
every contestant in the preliminaries.
When the lucky ones are chosen all
personal hopes and feeling are put
aside and the contestant is sent to
the meet with the whole school be-
that he must win, and as usaal
thing he does, as witness oar cups,
hind him. Consequently he feels
past and present.
The stated object of these meets is
the holding of various contests, but
in addition to this the meet brings
the schools into closer relationship,
helps school progress and furnishes
a time of pleasure and excitement
for all participants and spectators.
The contests themselves consist of
spelling, essay, defamation, music,
recitation and athletic events, in ad-
dition to exhibitions of the various
departments of the assembled schools.
The athletic contest occasions the
greatest excitement and interest and
is usually the most hotly contested.
A cup is awarded to the team max
ing the greatest number of points.
The literary events, while not so ex-
citing, are certainly as important as
the athletic contests. The winning
literary team is also awarded cup,
and winners of first prizes in the
various contests are presented with
individual medals.
The lists for the preliminaries,
WHICH dAC W NC lClu oOOAS uAC AoPAN~
ly filling up, the entrants in athle-
tics are practicing daily, and the ex-
hibits are being prepared and, in
fact everything is being prepared for
the meet. While we have fine can
didates for each contest, yet no one
can do so we'll alone as he can when
he has the crowd behind him. We
shall certainly have the school with
us in spirit in Marietta, but actual
presence of all the students possible
will greatly increase our chance of
victory There will be no school on
the days of the meet and all who can
are urged to go to Marietta and root.
Our object is to bring our literary
cup won last year, and to bring the
atheletic cup, now held by Carters-
vile, in addition. 1t depends on the
spirit of the contestants and that
depends on the encouragement of
your presence Therefore, let's all
go to Marietta prepared to urge our
school to victory.--The Roman of
the Rome High School.
