Debs. several times Socialist candi-
date for the presidency of the United
States, and now serving a 10-year
term in the Atlanta federal peniten-
tiary for violati N of the espionage
laws when the country was at war,

that he was again named by his par
ty for the title role in the 1920

James O'Neal said:
"Comrade Deb,.
"We have made this journey to
formally notify you of your nomina-
tion for the presidency by the Social
ist party. While this nomination is
made by the Socialist party, we also
know that hundreds of thousands of
workingmen and women, and other
citizens, heartily app 'oye It
In rendering you this nomination,
we do it with the knowledge of your
unfaltering loyalty to the masses and
your answering devotion to the
ideals of Socialism. In the struggle
of humanity for liberation, its ad-
vance couriers have often spoken
from felon's cell. In the long roll of
| liberators your name has been added
to this glorious list.
The felon of one age becomes an
emancipation in the view of posterity.
Socrates, Christ, Bruno, Savonaro-
la, Lovejoy and John Brown have
trod this path. History will record
its judgment of you, dear comrade
as it has of them.
''In an hour of passion and autoc.
racy you spoke as they spoke. You
defended the human mind unclaimed
and the right of ungagged expression
of opinion. You incarnate the best
ideals and traditions in American
history and the hopes of humanity.
"With affection too profound to
express in words, in the name of the
Socialists of the United States and
many thousands of other Gberty-loy-
ing men and women, we tender this
nomination to you"
Socialist rallies here Sunday were
planned to follow the formal notifi-
cation of Debs.

South Georgia Crop
Outlook Much Better

Lawson Stapleton, who returned
Friday from a trip through South
Georgia, stated yesterday that he had
never seen such an improvement in
crop outlook as that which has taken
place during the last two weeks in
South Georgia as a result of the sun
shine. Cotton and other crops are
growing rapidly, and farmers have
been able to do a great amount OF
plowing.
An official of one of the great fer
tilizer concerns in writing to g
friend here few days ago stated that
reports from the company's field
agents all over the South indicated
that the crop outlook, based upon
present conditions, was better in the
Third District of Georgia, of which
Americus is the center, than in any
other part of the South.
