CRISP BACKING
FORD PROPOSAL
Tells Kiwanis Club Why Muscle
Shoals Offer Is Advan-
tageous

Congressman Chas. R. Crisp, who
is home for a few weeks from Wash
ington, told the Kiwanis club, of
which he is an honorary member, at
its luncheon Friday his opinion of
the Ford offer for Muscle Shoals.
He said he was glad to note that
the club had endorsed, the Ford Of
fer, because in his opinion it was a
splendid offer and one which, if ac-
cepted, would work greatly to the
increased prosperity and well being,
not only of the South in particular,
but, the whole nation. He pointed
out that the Ford offer, which he
said was being opposed by power in
terests owned in Canada, proposed
to pay the government as much cash
proportionately as the government
received for the salvaging of several
other great war projects, and in ad-
dition the plant would be maintained
at all times ready for instant use
in making nitrates for war purposes
in case of need. The plant would
make nitrate for fertilizers, produc-
ing enough to prepare 25O,000,0OO
tons of commercial fertilizer, at
price of not over per cent above
cost, the cost to be verified by a
public committee, if desired, who
would be given all access to the
plant records. According to the
testimony of experts, Judge Crisp
said, this would furnish a CONNER
cial fertilizer for the whole country
at about half the price now paid by
the farmers. He expressed the hope
and belief that the Western Repub-
licans in congress, uniting with the
Democrats, would eventually accept
the Ford offer
At the suggestion of w T. Lane,
the club authorized the appointment
of special committee looking to the
turning of the Souther Field proper
ty, when eventually disposed of by
the government, to the commercial
and industrial advantage of the COM
munity. This committee will con-
sist of Mr.. Lane. John w. Shiver, j.
W. Harris and w. M. Humber.
The club unanimously accepted an
invitation form Sherrod Horne to be
his guest at a fish fry at the river
next Thursday afternoon. Members
and their ladies will attend. This
affair will be additional to the regu-
lar weekly luncheon, which will take
place as usual.

public expenditures that are employ
ed by all large business concerns
to the end that the public money
may be wisely and economically
spent, and to the end that every
taxpayer may find out, at any time,
just how every cent of it is spent.
Without in any way assailing the
god name of Georgia and its people,
on the contrary upholding them on
all occasiJls at home and abroad,
the governor has firmly stood for
the maintenance of law and order,
for the protection of life and prop
erty, for decency and just dealing,
and against invisible government of
every sort, from every source.
"In short, in the opinion of this
committee Governor Hardwick has
already proven himself one of the
ablest and strongest governors this
state has ever had, has given to the
state a busines5 administration of
the highest and best type, and has
displayed wisdom, conservatism and
rare courage in the performance
of the duties of his high and diff
cult office.
Deserves Endorsement. 80.
For these Teaaons, we submit
that he is entitled to second term
without opposition, and with or
without opposition, that he de-
serves and will receive an over
whelming endorsement from the
people in the coming primary.

ATLANTA ELkS JUEILANT
OVER 1928 CONVENTION

ATLANTA, July Is. Atlanta
Elks are jubilant over the news that
came over the wires from Atlantic
City to the effect that this city had
been selected as the meeting place
for the grand lodge of Elks in 1928,
after a stiff contest with Boston,
Mass, and Saratoga, New York.
The announcement came as a COM
plete surprise to most members of
the Atlanta lodge. When the local
delegation left for the famous New
Jersey watering place to attend the
1922 meeting of the grand lodge this
week no plans were on foot to bring
the next annual gathering here. 1t
was not even thought that an at
tempt would be made to do this.

in the state, and a further amend
ment included baseball games, dance
hall and shooting galleries. Many
senators objected to this amendn ent,
among them Senator Nix, who de-
clared that, he favored it person
ally, he was convinced that the gen.
eral assembly would never vote to
tax mortgages and notes, an pre-
dicted that every merchant and bank
er in his district would write cr tele-
graph him opposing this amendment
before sundown Fri 3ay.
Supporters of the Golucke reso-
luton merely as suggestion to the
house committee now striving to
solve the Question as to how the Con-
federate pensions were to be paid.
He said:
Il remember the confusion of last
year and am afraid that we will be
confronted during the last week of
the session with the prospect of hav-
ing to pass bond issue to pay the
pensioners orr leave them unprovid-
ed for" He added that he would
oppose a bond issue. AS the reso-
luton went to the house it calls for
an early report back to the general
assembly by the committee appoint
ed to draft the bill.

Declares Present Contest Over
Gevenorship Wholly Un-
called For

ATLANTA, July 15.-The follow
ing statement was issued today by
the committee in charge of Governor
Hardwicks campaign, Arthur Lucas
chairman
'In undertaking the management
of Governor Hardwick's campaign for
reelection the committee feels that
it may not be inappropriate for it to
make a brief and temperate state
ment to the public.
''In the first place, we believe the
present contest for governor is wholly
uncalled for. The people of Georgia,
in our opinion, did not desire it, and
do not now desire it. They are pass
ing through most critical and trying
period. They are fully occupied
with their personal affairs and buSi-
ness concerns and have no wish for a
heated political contest this year,
which, by all ordinary rules, is an
'off-year' in state politics. Unless
any governor of this state has made
a dismal failure in the performance
of his duty he is entitled to a second
term without opposition, for it IS
manifestly unfair to subject him, be-
fore a year of his administration has
passed, while the legislature is in
session, and public duties are press
ing him, to a political contest for
which he has little or no time, unless
he neglects his public duties.
Rule of Common Sense.
This is the rule suggested by fair
play and by common sense. There
have been only few exceptions 90 it
in the political history of the state,
and looking back, most fair minded
people will admit that these eXcep-
tions have not promoted better pOliti-
cal feeling or better political condi-
tions in the state.
'The argument in favor Of sec
ond term for any governor who has
been fairly successful in his admins
tration, becomes, in our judgment,
an unanswerable one when it is made
for an executive who, in one short
year, has made the state as able, as
courageous and as brilliantly success
full a governor as we submit to the
people Governor Hardwick has made.
'In one short year of administra-
ton he has so wisely managed the tis-
cal affairs of the state as to wipe out
a treasury deficit of substantially
three million dollars, and to put the
financial affairs of the state on
sound and stable basis. This has
been accomplished in a period OF pro-
found financial stress.
Check on Spending.
"He has, during that period, sue
cessfully maintained the position
that appropriations by the legisla-
tures must not and shall not exceed
the 3revenues of the state, and that
income and outgo must be carefully
and d4accurately balanced against one
another
he has recommended and secur-
ed the most rigid economy in legis-
latiYe, appropriations, the appropria
tioul for 1922 having been reduced
substantially one and one-half mil
liotEdollars below those of 1921.
Sic is now engaged, with every
PROSPECT of success, in the important
and essential work of establishing
for Georgia complete and modern
business system for the transaction
of its fiscal affairs-by budget and
audit--a system by which he pur-
poses to throw the same safeguards
