Admiration Is
xpres S ed for
Many Republicans

Ex Governor N. Z Harris of Geo.
gia, one OF the best beloved OF the
regular Beach tourists, is just back
from a trip 70 his old home state, TO
which he affectionately refers as the
foremost commonwealth of the
South 1t is conceded that Governor
Harris was one Of the very best exec
utiges Gsalsia ever had. and doubt
less, one of the reasons was the fact
that he has always been IN love with
her people and proud OF their achieve
ments. He is, however, native of
Tennessee.
Governor Harris is very anxious
that General Leonard w Wood shall
be recognized and he hopes to see
him the next secretary OF war Al
though he is a life long Democrat and
loyal party man. il is nor al all GER
tain that he would not have jumped
over the traces last year. for the first
time in his life. and voted for a Re
publican candidate for president. if
,General Wood had been the nominee.
Governor Harris and General Wood
are old time friends and Il would
have pleased the latter very much TO
have seen this great military genius
tl4c chief executive OF the nation.
Governor Harris kpows President
elect Harding and thinks well OF him.
At a banquet given the governor some
years ago by number Of his friends

+ i3gton. Senator Harding was one OF
the guests and sat at his side He re-
sponded To one OF the toasts ana the
governor says that at that time his
mamerisms and expressions remind
cd him much OF N-President McKm-
! ley, whom he also knew. He believes
President Harding viii not outrage
any American idea. bus that he will
go along giving pretty nearly every
body and every section OF the country
square deal.
Governor Harris SAYS the cotton
growers of Georgia have been won
derfully hard hit. as they planted 35c
cotton and have been unable to reap
anywhere near the price OF the seed.
He believes that il the war finance
board is again made to function it will
be OF great benefit TO the South and
especially to the cotton growers. as
he believes that thereby the export
trade in cotton With Europe will be
much encouraged and greatly me
creased, y
When asked what he Thought OF the
proposition OF senator elect Thomas
E. Watson TO enact law making all
government obligations a legal ten
der for all debts Governor Harris said
he had hardly given tho matter enough
thought to express An opinion. Il
looked 10 him however. as il 10 turn
INFO the channels d trade at once
many billions OF dollars OF new cur
rency as that is what il would amount
to- might have more or less Of
disastrous enect ia the financial
world unless i was properly safe

would be ii such action was taken rs
