HARRIS NOT THE MAN
FOR SOUTH GEORGIA

When Hon. W. J. Harris mounted
the rosturm at Waycross on Saturday
and began to read his opening speech
from manuscript the cold chills of
despair began to chase up and down
the spinal columns of his most en-
thusiastic hearers.
One fellow who had travelled all
the way from Savannah wanted his
railroad fare returned.
The man who aspired to represent
our state in an impromptu debate
on the floor of the United States
Senate and combat in our behalf the
the brains of the world, was reading
a school boys recitation at Waycross
Ga.
The United States Senate is the
greatest deliberative body in the
world.
The man "we have decided on to
beat Hardwick" couldn't make a
stump speech.
Several women wept and lot of
men went off in thorough disgust.
One man who had Travelled hum
dred miles to hear the opening gun,
said instead of it being a cannon it
was fire pepper.
Another said if everybody in Geor-
gia could have been there "Billy
Badly" would not have a handful of
supporters in the state.
They learned the reason why
Harris was Opposed to joint debates"
They learned why the pepole in
his home section who know him, in
sist that he is not senatorial tim
Der.
They are not surprised that How
ard was brought out.
They know why he refused to meet
Will D. Upshaw in joint debate when
Upshaw told him if he couldn't meet
him in his own congressional dis
trict, he would get out of the race.
They learned why the people over
in the western section of the state
say they will support Emmitt Shaw
before they will the man 1--WE have
all agreed upon"
1t was an awful bad day for sena-
torial booms in Waycross.
An old Hardshell Baptist who
drove mule in from Coffee coun-
ty, said:
81 don't believe the Lord lis talk
ing through this fellow"
Somebody said:
"They ought to have got the fell
low who wrote that speech to come
down here and deliver it." -Savan-
nah Hawkeye.
From the above report of the
opening speech of Mr.. Harris In
South Georgia, it would seem that al
that section is not enthused over his
candidacy.

OUR BIT.

Now, Johnnie went from New Hope
And Billie went from Zion,
Across the seas to Europe
To fight along the Rhine.

So Paw, he plows old Becky
And Nav, she hoes her row;

A Hooverism so!
If Johnnie fights the Germans
Like the Yanks were fought in Cobb,
Well exterminate that vermin
Ere we quit the bloomin' job.

If Billie fights the Germans
Like the Yanks were fought by Paw,

Every farmer should name his
farm and then have some station
cry printed In fact, he should have
the printed stationery whether or
not the farm is named. 1t gives him
prestige and standing as business
farmer and also pays in many other
ways. For example:
1. An undeliVeEed letter will be
returned to the address printed in the
upper left hand corner Of an en-
velope.
2 If name and address are not
plainly signed, the printed letter
head win remove any doubt as to
initials, spelling, etc.
g. It is a geed advertisement. Ger
tainly no man who is raising some
particular breed Of livestock or spe-
cializing in some particular variety of
seeds should miss announcing the fact
on his stationery.-The Progressive

The people of Georgia think well
of the President, but if the Harris pa
pers should succeed in making them
believe the President favored Harris
above Howard as they say, why the
Presidents judgement would suffer

GAME OFFICIALS ARE
PLEASED WITH BUDGET

Ofiicials OF the game and inland
fisheries department are highly
pleased with the adoption OF the
budget system for the state depart
ments. Many benefits will be derived
from this law. it was stated at that
department yesterday. Among them
is the primary fact that IL will re-
lieve the organization from the inf1u-
ence OF amateurs and embryo poll
ticians.
Heretofore the general public has
to a large evxtent expected the i'm
possible of the game department
whose limited funds placed an insur-
mountable barrier in the way. The
new budget system, state the game
officials, will remove much of the un-
just criticism. since a definite amount
of money will be appropriated for
each phase OF activity in which the
department participates
There is probably more individual
interest I'm the game department than
in any other form OF state activity.
The $4,000 hunters in the state each
have suggestion relative to the laws
that should be adopted, and since all
of these suggestions cannot be adopt
ed. very often luminosity is aroused
The work of the department will now
it is thought, be relieved of much OF
this.
An investigation is now being made
in many sections of the state In re-
gard to the quail situation. In sew
eral sections, Berryville in particular.
an unnatural scarcity of the bird liz
reported, and an effort is now being
made TO secure number and distrib-
ute them where they are most needed
In those sections where the quail are
distributed, the hunting season will
be closed long enough to allow them
to gain a footing

for prison reform,
The proposed amendment fixing
