F orrcer Seaboard Engin-

Announcement

Friends OLA. E. Hines, who a few
days ago announced that they had
asked him to make the race for the
legislature from this county and that
he had taken the matter under advise
ment, informed the Times Recorder
late this afternoon that Mr.. Hines
had given his consent to make the
race and had authorized the publ
cation of his announcement for the
office in the coming primary Septem-
ber 8. His entry fee was paid to
Secretary Arthur this afternoon, to-
day being the last day for entering
the contest.
Mr.. Hines was for many years
Seaboard engineer here. He was in
jured in a railroad accident two years
ago and is now engaged largely in
farming, having interests in and near
Leslie, as well as in Americas. He is
a member of the city tax board.

POLES FLATLY REJECT TERMS OF SOVIET
Geddes Declares Britain and
u. S. Co Trustees for Humanity

ST. LOUIS, August 25.-The boil
sheviki were pictured as enemies of
Democracy, of Lincoln's ideal Of
government of the people, by the
people, in an address by Sir Auck-
land Geddes, delivered before the
American Bar associations annual
convention here today The British
ambassador declared that the bolshe-
Wiki were the real reactionaries en-
deavoring to establish a privileged
class called the proletariat; to force
on society a great idea, regardless
of whether society wanted it.
Sir Auckland declared that Great
Britain and the United States "are
co-trustees for humanity that the
theory and practice of Democracy
shall not suffer distortion or dimu-
milton in spite of avalanches of as
sault loosed upon it by its enemies. J"
He said that Democracy should be
protected from the attacks by "all
who desire to benefit humanity
through some great idea of incalcu-
liable good, by all who as individuals
seek for themselves privileges over
their fellows and deny the equality
of men before the law"
Sir Auckland defined the idea of
government that constitutes the prec-
ious heritage for which the two ma
tions are co-trustees as being: "First,
that the revelation of the divine will
is made to man through the under
standing of all men; second, that this
can be expressed in laws made by the
people for the governance Of the ex-
ecutive officers whom they appoint
as well as for the maintenance of
national discipline among them
selves"
Sir Auckland said that Lincoln best
epitomized the best form of govern
ment the human race had been able
to devise as 'by the people, for the
people," but, he added, 81 wonder

American Legion Charges

Never did | oppose a measure that
was necessary to the prosecution of
the war. If only one plan or only
one way was possible, and the thing

supported every single proposal that
was ever made TO appropriate money,
in any way, to prosecute the war.
Indeed, | helped frame, as a men,

measures. On the other hand, if
unwise and unnecessary measures
were proposed, | unhesitatingly op-
posed them, and if several plans were
suggested of doing some necessary
thing, | invariably supported what
ever plan | honestly believed was
the wisest and best plan. Surely no
just man can say should have done
otherwise.

That | supported the volunteer plan

Mr.. Watson was urging the boys of
Georgia not to volunteer.
The truth is that | supported the
volunteer plan. Except during the
Civil War, and in defense of our own
soil, this county has never adopted
any other plan except the volunteer
plan. 1t is the way that free men
fight their wars. | thought then, and
| heliev now, that if we had offered
a liberal bounty to the private sol

$100 per month, the salary of a

quired. Who can say that | am

Many honest men may, of course,

an army was not given by the consti-

sition and sustained it at a time
when the constitution was not twen-

Editor, Americas jTimes-Recorder
Since you published the resolutions

Augusta in which my record as Unit
ed States senator was assailed, as
an act of simple justice to me, re-
quest that you publish the enclosed
statement in which | have replied

rect statements contained in those
resolutions. Thanking you, l am, sin
cerely yours,

Atlanta, Ca, August "a, 1920.
Hardwick's Statement.
The statement follows:
To the People of Georgia:
The assault of the so-called Am
erican Legion" on me is wholly un-
provoked and wholly gratuitous. |
had in no way assalled or attacked
it, anywhere, in either public speech
or private talk, when it began its
drive" against me. | knew, from
the beginning, exactly what influence
had inspired the attack of CLARK
Howell Post No. l" of Atlanta on
me, and, while | regretted to see
these young men duped into becom-
ing the catspaw of desperate and
fast crumbling ring and the mouth
piece of a discredited and coWardIy
politician, yet | was not disposed to
consider the incident, however re-
grettable, as of any considerable I'M
portance.
Since however, in resolutions for
mally adopted at their recent state
convention at Augusta, the legion of
the state has seen fit to assume re-
sponsibility for SANDER and mlsrep-
resentation, | shall no longer refrain
from plain speech on the subject. SO
far as they relate to myself, the reso-
lutions of the legion are false, not
only in generalization, but also IN
specification, and display so lament
able a lack of information about the
public records of the country as to
make the spectacle presented by these
misguided young men, ardent IN tnelr
zeal to pull the chestnuts OF otherS
out of the fire, both ridiculous ana
pitiable. They prove conclusively the
risk of relying at all either upon the
fairness in judgment or accuracy In
information of these young men
certainly of those who framed and
those who voted for any such pue--
rile resolutions. -.
The resolutions find fault with my
record as United States senator from

500 NAMES NOT
ON TAX DIGEST
So Jury Commissioners
Find in Revising
List

The Sumter county jury commits
sion today completed It's biennial task
of revising the jury lists, and In
checking up its work found some
rather interesting if not amazing
facts.
The grand jury list in 1918 con-
tanned l3S names. The list as just
revised now contains 2l9 names.
The traverse jury list of 1918 con-
tain GIG names; that OF 1920 con-
tains 1862 names. The grand jury
list is drawn from the traverse jury
|Nbox.
The remarkable fact about the
whole procedure, according to mem
bers OF the jury commission, Is that
the county contains at least 5OO
white men eligible tor the jury duty
whose names do not appear on the
tax digest. The COMMISSION is limit
ed in its selection Of names to those
appearing on the tax digest. why
these names do not appear no one
on the commission could say. Judge
Littlejohn informed the commission
that he would have the fact looked
into, A number of the missing are
well known citizens. The total white
voting registration in the county IS
approximately 2,4OO.
1t is the duty of the jury commls-
sion to meet once every TWO years
and select names for the jury box.
Men are exempted for varied rea-
son. Poor hearing, bad health, age
and other such conditions result IN
many names which appear on the tax
digest being left out OF the jury
box. Peace officers and lawyers are
exempted by law and railroad tram
men and engineers and tremen are
also customarily left out OF the boX
for obvious reasons. The commls-
sion is the sole judge of mans
suitability for the jury list. A num-
her of names had to be rejected, II
was reported, because OF errors lnrec-
ord which made it impossible TO Is
sue legal summons for the man IN
tended should be drawn.
Before adjourning the commission
drew a grand jury for the coming
November term of Superior COURT
two traverse juries for the same
term. and two juries for the City
court, September term;
The members of the commission
are: John Sheffield, chairman; ). l.
