E MMETT SHAW WILL
SPEAK IN TERRELL
AT THREE APPOINTMENTS IN
COUNTY WILL PRESENT HIS
CLAIMS FOR SENATORSHIP.

With the exception of Messrs.
Shaw and Cooper all of the candi-
dates for United States senator have
visited Terrell county and personally
made known their ambitions to vo-
tiers.
Now Mr.. Shaw is going to tell
them about his candidacy. An adver-
tisement in this issue of The News
announces that he will speak at Par
rott, Bronwood and Sasser on next
Friday, August the 9th, stating the
hour he will be at each place.
Mr. Shaw is our neighbor, living
at Fort Gaines, and is well known
and has many friends in Terrell and
will no doubt be heard by good-sized
audiences. He is making an active
campaign throughout the state, and
according to reports is being well re-
ceived. In a lengthy report of a
speech recently delivered by him in
that city the Gainesville Herald says
in part:
"Hon. Emmett R. Shaw, candidate
for the United States senate, of FIT.
Gaines, spoke on the court house
grounds last Thursday at the noon
hour to a crowd estimated to number
from five to seven hundred people.
He made a most excellent speech.
He cut all red tape and disposed of
all formalities by mounting a goods
box and saying that he had asked
to introduce him, but that he
was Emmett Shaw, of South Georgia,
and had come to North Georgia to
make a political speech that the vot-
ers of this county, and all others

present, might have better idea of
the principles for which he stood. At
times he was eloquent, giving himself
over to flights of oratory such as
challenge the admiration of any body
of hearers. When he had concluded
a great many people went forward
and shook his hand, some pledging
their support, while others told him
that he had made the best speech
of any one of the candidates now in
the race To say that his speech was
well received and that he made a
most favorable impression on his
hearers is but a mild expression"
