AGAIN REMEMBERED

The are two more citizens of Sum
ter county who are addicted to the
practice Of remembering the editor,
delightful habit which they do not
want to break.
One is Johnny Marshall the popu-
lar salesman at Ansley's, who is also
a crack shot. He has proved his abiI.
ity with the gun and his lovely, gen
erous disposition also by sending The
Times-R Recorder a dozen plump quail
Another is John Ed Chapman, also
a star huntsman, whose remembrance
to the editor was a brace of fine, fat
rabbits, almost big enough to be Bel
gian hares. It is needless to say thai
the gifts were highly appreciated, ant
that the givers are splendidly es
teemed in this Office.

SEMI

TO TO The THE SENATE s. NAT
RESENT HIS SUCCESSION TO Tag
GUARDIANSHIP OF DTMIGRA~
TION COMMITTEE SAYS HE Has
"CONTEMPTIBLY FAILED.-

The Americas council of the Junior
Order of United American Mechanics.
which is one of the largest and moss
powerful fraternal organizations pf
the country, has protested to the Unit-
cd States Senate against giving Sen
ator Thomas W. Hardwick the chatT
manship of the committee on irnglss-
grafton.
This action is significant in view Df
the fact that Senator HardwicAis
views regarding the restriction Of im-
migration coincide with those Of the-
] o. U. A. NJ, one Of whose funda-
mental tenets is opposition ta nnFa
stricted immigration
Senator Hardwick is castigated in,
burning language 1t is declared thafI
he has "contemptibly failed" to prop
orly represent the state Of Georgia
The resolutions, as sent to the viees
president for presentation to tbs
Senate, read as follows:
Whereas, It has come to the as
tcntion of Americus Council, No. l29s
J. o. U. A. M, that certain indfyia
uals interested in the political career
of Senator IThnnaas " Hardgick. wlln
it apIphrs wish tcssee' him placed
chairman of the senate COMMITTEES or
immigration, this place being made
vacant by shifting chairmen, due to
the death of Senator Newlands.
ut is the unanimous opinion OF the
Americus Council, ]. 0. u. A. NJ. that
Mr.. Hardwick has placed himself by
his attitude on the vital questions con-
fronting the national government.
without the pale of consideration pe1-
itiically by the citizens Of Georgisr
and although he may favor the Fe-
striCtcd immigration that we as an or
der have ever. contended for, yet ne
cannot, nor viii we, lend ourselves as
an organization to the furtherance oE.
the ambitions, politically or other
wise, OF any man, much less Thomas
w. Hardwick, who has so thoroughgF
and contemptibly failed to represent
tkis state at an hour of our greatest
peril.
Resolved, Therefore that we naz
all on notice that we as a council
unanimously disapprove the attempts
of anyone to further the political IN
terest Of Mr.. Hardwick at this time.
believing that there are others in the
senate who can represent the interest
of the immigration question much bet
ter than Mr.. Hardwick. We believe
further that the fact that he would be
in favor Of the restricted immigration
would in a measure be a mfIlst0ne
around the neck of the question
The resolution is signed by G. L.
Williams, A. NJ Guerry and E. d Nc
Daniel, constituting the committee on
resolutions.
