WANTS STATE WIDE
STAMP DEMONSTRATION
DIRECTOR ASKS DAWSON TO
JOIN IN MOMENT IN INTER
EST WAR SAVINGS STAMPS.

Mr.. NJ. W Reddick, assistant state
director for the sale of war stamps
in Georgia, wants Dawson and Ter
rell county to join in a movement
for a statewide demonstration to do
honor to those in military service
and also to show what they are do
ing to care for these boys. In let
ter to The News Mr.. Reddick saws /:
From every community in our
state men have gone to the colors.
1t seems TO me BETTING that the peo-
pie at home should give some evil
dence Of their appreciation for and
loyalty to those who have gone away.
Nothing would encourage our BOYS in
the camps and trenches so much as
to know that friends and loved ones
at home are making some kind of a
public demonstration in honor Of
their heroic services.
Il hereby call upon the negroes of
Georgia to inaugurate service flag
parades to be held in the various
towns and cities in the state. begin
ming Saturday, September 18th. be-
tween the hours of ~ m. and 4 o. m.
and ending Saturday, October 18th.
That IS to say, that every town would
choose any Saturday from Septem-
Der 7th to October 18th in which to
hold its parade. | would recommend
that every family having one or
more representative in the services
would secure a service flag, which
should be displayed as a banner in
the parade
Il would suggest also that every
person holding thrift or war savings
stamps should exhibit their cards in
the parade as an evidence of what he
IS doing TO help care for the boys
now in military service. Service flags
may be made or purchased. Those
desiring to purchase them VIII likely
ind them at the book stores; and if
they fail to find them in their town.
tins office viii put them in touch with
a house here that viii be clad TO fur
nlsh them. The cost depends upon the
SIZE and the material out Of which
they are understanding from IS
cents up.
Il would suggest further that ev-
cry person who is without war saw
ings stamps or thrift stamps would
provide themselves with as many as
he can afford and Join in the parade.
! would have the parade close with
a rouslng patriotic meeting, held
either at the court house or at some
other auditorium large enough to ac-
commodate the people
Il would have the officers of the
war savings in the various counties
to become the prime movers in this
campaign with a view to stimulating
the people of their communities in
the purchase of thrift and war saw
3 ings stamps. This, it seems TO me.
would give the citizens q splendid
. opportunity to show their loyalty to
our soldier boys, both by honoring
them and lending money for their
support
Now, as this Is the season in
which our pledges are to paid, such a
campaign, it seems to me, would
greatly aid In the collection Of these
pledges and stimulate those who have
not as vet subscribed their quota to
join with their fellow citizens in help
ing our government to finance the
war"

NOT MUCH OF A
BREEZE in TENTH
CAMPAIGN FOR CONGRESS IN
THAT DISTRICT A RATHER
QUIET AFFAIR.

AUGUSTA, Ga.-The campaign
for congress in the Tenth district has
not created the stir and strife that
many expected. In fact, very little
Is being heard Of it. Congressman
Vinson has returned home to look
after his fences and is making some
speeches. Mr.. Watson is taking
things quietly, and is doing but little
campaigning. There is time yet, how
ever, for considerable ginger to be
thrown into the campaign.
In his opening speech at Crawford
vile. to nearly 5000 people, speak
ing under the trees in the TaIiaferro
county court houseya I'd, Mr.. Wat
son, in telling why he is in the race
for congress, said:
1t has been 26 years since I faced
q Iallaferro county audience in be-
half Of my own political affairs.
Across the gulf of years made. and
forever made, there floats many
memory sacred to me because of the
fidelity with which | served my peo-
pie and which they have always been
ready to pay to me.
Il challenge any man in citv or
town to name the time or place when
l was ashamed of my course or
afraid to meet an enemy.
Thirty days ago, confined to nv
room in Jacksonville, Fla, with a
nervous breakdown, if anyone had
predicted | would be a candidate for
any office / would have considered
him lunatic. But no man can tell
what time and tide will bring.

patton, | cast about helplessly and

gies and my mind and keep it away

lshment there came the request to

Cured to me that l had been recall
ed to life as Alexander Stephens,
who sleeps beneath yonder monu-
ment, was called in 1870.
With almost unanimous voice nv
friends and those who had been nv
foes united in the hope that in this
time Of crisis the old Tenth district
might be represented in Washington
by the very best material that could
be put there"
Mr.. Watson declared veremently
that he would not go to Washington
to oppose and harass the president;
that the CONSUMPTION and espionage
laws were now in the past and should
be Obeyed, and that he believed. now
that we were in the war, that it
should be fought out to a successful
finish.
He declared his opposition to a big
standing army, which might menace
civil rights when the war is over. and
renewed his attack on the Catholic
church as a political organization,
though disClaiming any interference
with any mans personal religion, and
said his measure of any bill which
might come down from the white
house would be his oath to support
the constitution of the United States.
The famous Georgian showed the
effects Of years His head is silvery

did not indulge in the bitter invec-
tive for which he has been known
most widely. His voice was seldom

he spoke for more than an hour in.
