TIRES IMPORTANT PART OF
AUTOMOBILE EQUIPMENT
Efficiency Demands That Perform

E7Ic1GhCy 0CM~
ance of Each Tire Be Known.
Tires are so important part OF the
equipment of an automobile that the
experienced motorist does not care
to lose his money or his temper max
ing experiments. He buys tires that
have proved their worth after years
of testing. and leaves it to others to
shoulder the expense of trying out
the novelties that come and go.
1t is in this fact that the United
States Tire Company finds the ex-
PLANTATION for its steadily mounting
sales among those who want good
tires.
Present day efficiency demands
that the automobile owner keep
careful account of his costs and that
he know the exact performance OF
each tire. 1t is among this class OF
BUYERS that the United States Tire
Company finds it's best customers.
Many large corporations, which have
reduced their tire buying to science
and place their orders where they
get the most service for the money,
use United States tires exclusively.

A PATHETIC LETTER
FROM DR.. ,M'NAUCHTON
THANKS EDITOR OF SWANS
BoRO PAPER FOR EDITORIAL
ESPOUSING HIS CAUSE.

The Swainsboro Pine Forest, pub
lished where DR.. w. ]. McNaughton
was convicted and several times sem
fenced to be hanged before he re-
ceived communication to life imprison-
ment at the hands of Governor Sla-
ton, recently printed an editorial
urging the pardon of the noted pris-
oner, and in the current issue of that
paper is a letter from DIR. McNaugh-
ton expresses his appreciation. The
letter follows:
Georgia State Prison Farm, Mil
ledgeville, Ca, May 20, 1919.-Mr.
w. E. Boatright, Editor The Forest
Blade, Swainsboro, Ga.-Dear Mr..
Boatright: Nothing has SO much en-
couraged me since I have been in
prison as the excellent editorial which
appeared in your issue of May 9Th
relative to my case. If everyone
would consider all of the points in
the case / am sure they could but
feel as your editorial expressed-suf-
ficient doubt at least to grant my
freedom at this time. While I know,
and my many thousands of friends
over the state have expressed their
absolute belief of my innocence, it
seems that those who have entertain
ed a sufficient doubt thus far would
at this time relent and assist to Sc
cure my release, feeling that the
service I have already rendered is
sufficient to atone for the doubt they
felt in my case.
"No one can ever know just what
these years have meant to me, serv-
ing year after year to pay a debt
that has been imposed although not
due; the igrominy and physical suf-
fering that I have endured are
enough to almost drive a man in
sane. Yet, have kept the faith,
ever looking forward to better day
when Justice would rule and my re-
lease would be secured.
"I have given the state the very
best service that I could; have min
istered unto the sick at all times,
never losing an opportunity to ale
viate the suffering of fellow pris-
oner when possible for me to do so;
bearing in mind constantly that l
might be ministering unto a poor I'M
fortunate like myself, whom fate has
decreed must suffer, and ever bear
ing in mind the words of the Savior:
IF you have done it unto the least
of these, you have done it unto me.
81 notice your editorial has been
copied by other papers that have ia
ken up the cudgel in my defense.
Many articles have appeared In va
rious papers over the state, and with
out an exception they are favorable
to my cause. Ny own resources are
exhausted, and / am trusting now to
my friends to see that justice is
done.
az am sure you have done a great
good in publishing your editorial,
and I am also sure that your reward
will come. | wish to take this oppor-
tunitv to thank you for the copies OF
your good paper that have reached
me from time to time. I hope some
day to be able to reciprocate IN some
way for your kindness.
IT wish I could thank you as my
feelings would dictate, but l feel
that a mere expression of words
would sound absurd in comparison
to nv real feelings at this time. / am
gratefully yours,
"W. J. McNAUGHTON."
