We have preached the doctrine of the hardship OF

COUNTY BOARD
IN IMPORTANT
SPECIAL MEET
Matters Delaying Actual
Beginning of Paving
To Be Cleared Up

The board of county commission
ers were called in special meeting at
the court house this afternoon to act
on important matters in connec-
ton with the county paving program,
following the receipt today of mes
sage from W. R. Neel, state highway
engineer. Indications before the
meeting were that matters which had
been delaying the actual beginning
of paving, resultant in measure
from reorganization of the state high
way commission and consequently
changes in policy, would be cleared
away and headway made toward get
ting the program under way.
A letter from Mr., Neel informed
the board that he would be in Amer
icus next week for a conference with
the board regarding the local prob
lens and situation, he having been
invited to come here for that pur-
pose.

Anybody Here Seen
Col. Ships Turkey?
IfSo,Speak RightUp

Woe is Colonel j. E. D. Shipp..
For the colonel is shy one perfect
ly good bronze turkey gobbler.
And the turkey wasn't exactly his,
which makes him all the more woe.
This is the explanation:
A few days ago Mrs. Sam Nc
Garrah, who had taken a fancy to
the colonel's turkeys on his farm
west of the city, entered into a
deal with him whereby she was to
swap him a frst-class Holstein
calf for a pair of turkeys. A day
or two after the deal had been
made, but before the delivery of
the property, someone stole the
gobbler, the only one which the
colonel could spare. and which was
necessary to complete the pair ac-
cording to the compact. So now
the colonel is doing some gum
shoe sleuthing to learn the where
abouts of the stolen gobbler. He
really fears that what is left of
him is now making hash for some
body.

H. 0. JONES OUT
FOR SOLICITOR
OF CITY COURT
First Formal Announce
ment Starts Political
Ball Rolling

The county campaign. which will
eliminate in the white primary, the
date of which is yet to be fixed, but
which likely will take place in March,
was given definite start today by
the definite announcement of At
torney H. 0. Jones, of Americus, that
he is a candidate for the nomination
for the Office of solicitor of the City
Court of Americas, to fill the place
now occupied by Zach Childers, who
has announced that he will not be
candidate for reelection. Mr.. Jones
authorized the following statement
for publication:
You may say for me that | am
in the race for solicitor of the City
Court of Americus. | shall earnest
ly endeavor to run the race in
gentlemanly manner. OF course, !
entertain nothing but the very kind
est feeling toward each, every and all
of the men whose names have been
mentioned for this place.
Before the campaign is over l
shall do my utmost to see all the
voters in the county In the mean
time their loyal assurance of sup
port is deeply appreciated.
The air was full of rumors and re-
ports, politically, today, mostly as
regards the solicitor race, Several
names were mentioned as already in
the race or likely to announce soon.
One of these was Dan Chappell
young attorney and returned soldier,
who admitted in reply to direct ques-
ton, that he had practically decided
to enter, although he was not yet
ready to made his public announce
ment to that effect. He stated that
he had received widespread assur-
ances of support. Other names men
toned were those of Stephen Pace
and Harry Hawkins, the latter also
returned soldier and a young at
torney, and the former one of Sum-
ter county's representative in the
state legislature. Neither of these
men would discuss the matter for
publication today.
The matter of calling the county
executive committee for meeting
to decide upon a primary date has
/ been discussed by several citizens
with Fred B. Arthur, secretary, there
being vacancy in the office of chair
man since the restoration of Hollis
Fort from that office, following the
last election. 1t has been suggest
ed to Mr.. Arthur that the week of
March Is would be a date suitable
to the lawyers and court house off
cials, all of whom, it is assumed, will
be candidates for reelection, because
it falls between court terms and will
not interfere with official matters.
Mr.. Arthur is expected to summon
the committee shortly for calling the
primary and fixing the date.

The resolutions said when the
Democrats came into power in 1913
they found "nation in condition of
comparative industrial and CONNER
cial depression" and with "the bank
ing system in the hands of a few men
at whose will panics periodically oc-
CURED,
''To remedy this condition." the
resolutions continued, "the demo-
cratic administration entered immed-
lately upon a vigorous constructive
program" adding that the establish
ment of the Federal Reserve banking
system "entitles the party to the ev-
erlasting gratitude of the country,
while the farm loan banking system
gave agricultural interests the re-
lief long demanded by them"
The resolutions then referred to the
enactment of the law giving "the peo-
pie the right to elect their United
States senators by popular VOTE" and
said the party had "enfranchised the
women and for the first time gave
labor the fair showing to which it
was entitled"
The resolutions declare that had
the peace treaty been ratified "with
reasonable promptness the world
would now be engaged in the fruitful
work of reconstruction.
"We join" said the resolutions, "in
the demand of the pulpits of the coun-
try, of the agricultural interests, of
labor and of the great business, in
dustrial and commercial organizations
of America that the senate quit
playing politics with this sacred ques-
tion and give to the world word that
America is ready to at least make a
trial for universal peace. We re-
pudiate the inferential suggestions
that, having Joined our associates in
the war that is now leaGing them to
chaos, we are to withdraw and leave
them to a mercilcss fate in order that
we might maintain the so-called ira
ditional state of isolation that we
surrendered when we went to the de-
fense of our rights and to the aid Of
struggling humanity"
"If this is to be our attitude" the
resolutions continued, "then the 50,-
900 Americans who now sleep in
France gave up their lives in vain
and 100000 more who willingly
offered their lives for the cause that
called us there have right to ask
for what were they summoned to the
colors."

Kansas City were in the contest for
the national convention when the

products, it does not seem to me that
there can be any question as to the
good faith and impartiality of the
Government in the application of a
clause of this character. That phase
of the matter has been practically
accepted universally by timber oper-
ators in National Forests in the
Northwestern States, where, in fact,
the reasons for u liberal policy on
the part of the Government are
much less urgent than in Alaska.
1t therefore seems to me that a
clause in this form or in substantially
this form is the best method of
meeting the situation; and | am very
sure that it will meet the situation
just as soon as paper manufacturers
are satisfied that the water power
legislation and the market conditions
in the paper trade justify them in
making the large investment neces-
sary for Alaskan developments AS
a matter of fact the cost of stump
age would be such a small factor in
Alaskan developments as to be al
most negligible in comparison of the
big element of risk due particularly
to transportation conditions, which
such enterprises must incur.
81 will, however, be very glad in
deed to obtain any suggestions which
you may wish to offer as to how
our sale methods in Alaska might be
modified with due regard to the
public interests and with a view to
encourage pulp developments
