ANNOUNCEMENT OF E. H. CLAY

TO THE VOTERS OF COBB CO.:
At vote of the State Senate held
Wednesday, the Senate, by vote of
rs voted to repeal the Tax Equaliza-
ton Law and 20 voted against.
cast my vote with great deal of
pleasure to repeal this law, and did
what l could in every way possible
to kill same. However, this Bill was
lost, as it takes 26 votes to pass a
Bill in the Senate.
The fight has just begun in Georgia
to do away with this law, and as a
candidate for the House from Cobb
County, if elected, expect to take
an active fight in not only killing the
Tax Equalization Law, but make in
visible property, as well as visible
property, pay its proportions of tax
es.
The Old Soldiers, under a tax on
luXuries, and a mortgage tax, can
and should be paid their pensions, as
they will not be with us much longer,

our children. | am further in favor
ot Constitutional limitation, so far
as taxes are concerned, on a limit
on power of counties to levy taxes,
and | have introduced a Bill to that
effect in the senate.
The good women of Georgia have
introduced several measures that are
now before our body that are of ut
most Importance to the State of Geor-
|! gla, and | have seen, and expect to
continue to stand by them in their
hight for these measures.
Our people are going through a
period of reconstruction, and it is
necessary at this time that no unjust
burdens be put on the people who
cannot bear them, and if elected, as
one of your representatives, | am
going to do my best to carry out
these policies. If | can do this, two
years from now l expect to be a can
didate for Governor of Georgia on
this platform, and l know | will have
the backing of the good people of
Cobb County, who have been so good
to me.
will appreciate the vote of every
voter In the County.
Respectfully,
HERBERT CLAY.

MIR. Boil Weevil, Watch Your Laurels

Well, Well. Mr.. Brown, Of Eman-
uel county, it might alright to re-
strict the liberty of the farmers in
Emanuel county, but it will never do
in old Cobb. Fellows, Mr.. Brown pro-
posed, in fact, he has introduced a
bill in the house to restrict the farm
ers from growing any cotton in Geor-
gia in 1924 and ever second year
thereafter.
1t might be good thing not to
grow cotton but it is sure left with
the individual to say whether or not
he is going to grow any.

wives shall be guilty Of felony and
their sentence shall not be less than
five years, nor more than twenty
years at hard labor"
Wheee, we can hardly believe that
la man would do such a thing. At
first we thought it was a joke but in
quiry proved that it was a fact and
that the bill is really a serious one
and not joke.
We do not know whether Mr.. Flem-
ing, the author of the bill, is a d.
vorce lawyer or has got something
against the preachers of the state.
Action should be taken by the men
.of the county to see that the bill does
not pass-see your representatives.
1t Will go Somewhere, Why Not Here
Representative Pruitt, of Lumpkin
county, has introduced bill in the
house to appropriate $4,000 to the
North Georgia Agricultural College
for the erection of a new dormitory.
This is good cause and if the money
has got to be spent we might as well
spend it here.
Penalty of Death Voted Burglars
By vote of 35 to the senate
Tuesday passed the bill of Senator
Nix figuring burglary as crime pun
ishable by death. The bill was imme-
diately transferred to the house for
action.
Arguments of members opposed to
the Nix bill was that the penalty of
death for burglary was too drastic
and would permit the taking of hum
an life needlessly.
It's friends answered that burglar
is a potential murderer, and very
rarely does one break in to steal
without being prepared for escape
with a pistol or other murderous
weapon.
He provides that the punishment
for the breaking into and entering
of any occupied dwelling or sleeping
place in the night time shall be
death, or life imprisonment, upon
of the trial jury.

May | Sees Inaugurated First
General Campaign of
Kind in Service.

Without the Postal Service, business
would languish in a day, and be at a
standstill in a week. Public opinion
would die of dry rot. Sectional hatred
or prejudice only would flourish, and
narrow-mlndedness thrive.
1t Is the biggest distinctive business
In the world and it comes nearer to the
innermost interests of a greater num-
Der of men and women than any other
institution on earth. No private bust
ness, however widespread, touches so
many lives so often or sharply; no
church reaches into so many souls,
futters so many pulses, has so many
human beings dependent on its min
istrations.
postal improvement Week" has
been set for May 1, by the Postmaster
General. This is the first general cam
palgn Of its kind In the Postal Service
for several decades Business men
and their organizations, large users of
the mail, newspapers, motion pictures,
advertisers, and the entire organiza-
ton of $4,000 postal workers are to be
enlisted in this countrywide campaign
of interest In postal improvements
Your help is vital. Address your let
tiers plainly with pen or typewriter.
Give street address. Spell out name
of State, don't abbreviste. Put your
return address In the upper left hand
corner of envelope mot on the back
and always look at your letter before
dropping in the mail to see If It is
properly addressed. This care In the
use of the malls is for your benefit and
speeds up the dispatch and delivery
of mail matter.
II you have any complaints of poor
service make them to your postmaster.
He has instructions to investigate them
and report to the department.
