WILLIAMS FOR COMMISSIONER

The friends of Volney Williams,
editor of the Waycross Journal-Her err
aid are rallying to the support of ais
candidacy for place on the Railroad
Commission of Georgia, and the indi-
cations are strong that he will be
elected when the balloting takes place
on September II.
The point is made that there is no
member on the Commission from South
Georgia, and that on the basis of a
geographical distribution, Mr.. Will
liams is entitled 70 support
This claim is well grounded, but
it is far from being the only claim
Mr. Williams has on the suffrage of
the people He is one of the ablest
and most progressive members of the
press in Georgia. His service to the
state in politics and in other lines
has been of the highest order. He
possesses the executive ability and
the breadth of vision essential for
such position as that of member
of the Railroad Commission, and in
the next few years the Commission
more than ever will have need for
just such men.
The voters of this section of the
state have come forward warmly in
his support, and his election seems
to be a certainty-Macon News.

coal shortage are appearing in our
Georgia weekly exchanges. and they
are havinga good effort
The point is that, with fuel supply
at their very doors, the people Of
well-wooded Georgia counties will
have only themselves to blame if
any of them are confronted by
fireless hearths next winter.
And in addition to their own well
fare that of tfle country, and the
country, and the patriotic duty of
patriotic duty of fuel conservation,
should be considered.
The striking fact-as The Cordele
(Ga.) Dispatch sees it's this:
eve. have no right to claim coal
supply with wood so close and
easily gotten. lie coal is needed
for, the ships and for the railroads
and steel furnaces and for TIE
foundries and ammunition fac
tories. The war cannot go en-
| without it, and so much more
is being used than was con-
sumed last year it will be i'm
possible to get service even as
good as it was last year. If we
have the least spark of patrio-
tism, we are going to make the
winter with supply of wood in
order to release our coal for other
| needs"
And correspondent of the Cordele
paper calls attention to the waste of
wood in localities where hundred
of cords are lying on the ground, and
no effort being made to save the
wood"
The thing to do is to get patricical-
ly busy and join the Georgia wood
cutting army
I For that army is being we'll orgaiz-
ed, and is working well in many plac-
es to help home and the coutry

began the fight. When the astonish

excuse, saying that they thought he
might need them to take care of

to preform the duty of escorting
prisoners to the rear, but when he
turned his back, they put their
machine guns into action and fought

If forces and arms are required in
Russia to establish a government the
allies have much of a task on their
hands. Stabilized rule and liberty and
safety for those who make up the
great Russian population will win
more than battle. When the people
find safety and confidence in them
selves then they will begin to believe
they can run their own affairs. This
is the thing the allied nations are

applies more particularly to medicine
a medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it..
A prominent druggist says, 'Take for
example Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, q
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for IN
almost every case it shows excellent re
suits, as many of my customers testify.
