If crowds that heard two men may
be taken as an indication of the
strength of Harris and Hardwick in
Sumner county, then it may be safely
asserted that this county will go over
whelmingly for M. Harris in the
primary election September elev
enth.
This statement is based upon a
comparison of attendance when
Senator Hardwick spoke here
two weeks ago before ad
assemhlage composed largely of
negroes, and representative gath
erir.g of prominent citizens, business
men, farmers and manufacturers
who heard Hon. William H. Burwell
Of Sparta. deliver an address in be-
half OF the candidacy of William J.
Harris for the United States senate
here this morning. A noticeable
feature generally commented upon
was the number of negroes who
heard Hardwick and the very few
citizens of this class who attended
the great Harris rally.
Hon. J. E. Mathis, former mayor
of AmerIcus, and the present super
inipn6ent of the city school system
nere, introduced the speaker in an
eloquent and complimentary man
ner. The crowd received Mr.. Mathis
brief talk with applause, and when
Mr.. Burwell began his address, the
ovation he received was so great as
to shake the very rafters of the
building in which the assembly
had congregated. Mr.. Burwell spoke
from the floor of the Superior Court
room, declining to stand upon t.
rostrum, as he said, he preferred to
be close to the people, as he wanted
his words to get close to their hearts
and sink deeply into their minds.
Analysed Hardwick's Record
He began his address by saying he
would analyze and expose Mr.. Hard
wick's record, the truth regarding
which is not to be found in the words
of the present junior senator from
Georgia. "It is poor argument,
said Mr.. Burwell, ito use the lie in
an appeal to an intelligent people.

unity CT spirit among the people of
this country, said the speaker. Ger
many hac prepared for seventy years
for this war before it began. Even
agriculture in that country had been
trained for war; every farmer planted
as he knew he must plant, by direc-
ton of a government which prepared
always for war. The business, edu
cational and financial interests of
Germany had long been welded into
solid compact unit, ready for this
war. This, be said, is responsible

A great outburst of applause greeted
this statement.
Mr.. 3urwell then took up in gen.
eTal the record of Mr.. Hardwick,
saying the present possessor of the
senatorial toga from Georgia has no
only begrimed, but besmirched it.
The speaker compared Hardwick t.
cutie fish. In his speech Mr.. Bur
we'll said Hardwick spewed out a
vast quantity of blackness to cover
his own infamy. His speech here,
he said, if true, would have redeem
ed Judas Iscariot. Fortunately, much
that was said by the present Junior
senator in his address here, as weh
as elsewhere in Georgia, is not true,

Taking up the charge that the
press OF Georgia was debauched
and a lying institution, iprejudiced
against Hardwick because of his vote
IN the postal bill, the speaker said
such a charge was preposterous,
ANY one who ssays the press of an
entire state can be debauched is
himself dehauched," passionately de-
cleared Mr.. Burwell Taking up the
several zones established by the pos
tai law, which Mr.. Hardwick said
has arrayed the entire press OF
Georgia against him, the speaker
showed clearly that few newspapers
of this state, or any other state for
that matter, have been affected by
the operations of this law. Post
rates for newspapers within the first
zone" said Mr.. BurweIl, remains
unchanged under the provisions
the law which Mr. Hardwick claims
has set the whole newspaper frater
nifty against him" He then explain
ed that one hundred and eighty miles
were constituted with the first zone
in which the rates remain unchanged
and said that only the magazine
have been affected appreciably by
the advance in postal rates, add
that many of these are even
spreading disloyal propaganda. Few
newspapers in Georgia circuia
freely beyond the first zone," he sa
and their tax has not been increa
ed a bagatelle No tax has been
placed on advertisements in news
papers as such, and of the malta
zines taxed by operation of the new
postal law, few, if any, are publish

Mr.. Burwell drew himself up to
