These figures Include interest on the
public debt which amounts 70 about
one billion dollars, but include moth.

in honor of her little daughter Hazel
Margaret aged 3, and little James
Moore, aged 2, son of Mrs. Isaac
Moore on west Central avenue, on
last Saturday, the anniversary of
their birth. Punch was served on the
vine-covered porch by Misses Myrtle
Cannon and Bobbie Burns.
Pink and white asters were used as
the floral decorations in the living
room and the centre table bore a mir
ror lake on which thel little children
were delighted to find miniature boats
and fish which were given to them as
favors.
The dining room was made attractive
with pink and white asteis and lilies
and streamerS of pink and white paper
from the chandelier to the table. A
birthday cake iced in white and topped
with three pink candles formed the
pretty center-piece and was sliced and
served with jello and whipped cream,
and at each plate was tiny basket of
bon-bons. Mrs. Nellie Jones and Mrs.
F. E. Burns led the children in mum

FOR JUDGE SUPERIOR COURT
To the Voters of the Cordele Judicial
Circuit.
| announce as canoldate for the
Judgeship of the Superior Court in the
approaching primary. 1t is known
that while judge I, in the term of my
oath, administered justice without re-
spect to person, and did equal rights
to the poor and the rich. That I
protected peaceful citizens from the
habitual criminal and showed leniency
to the young and unfortunate, without
breaking the heart of faithful wives
and loving mothers. To this record
if Judge again, will add one more
thing will reduce the present ex-
penses of Court and thereby materially
lower taxes. Present hard times and
high taxes have cut off many from the

cannot vote, yet, l especially ask
their influence for return to real old

Jingle Of Fifteen Million Farm Dollars in Mccormick Wedding
Son of Harvester King Splits Fortune
and Unmakes Two Marriages To
Wed Woman of His Choice.
Special to Leader-E Enterprise
By ROBERT FULLER
Autocaster Service

CHICAGO, Aug. 24-When Harold
F. Mccormick, son of old Cyrus Nc
Cormick, the inventor of the wheat
binder, was married to Mime. Gamma
Walska the other day, there echoed
the clank of some fifteen million Amer
lean farm dollars.
Country America is OF MUNICH inter
ested in the doings OF millionaires but
the name Mccormick is different be-
cause it is known in every farm yard
i'll the United States. The Mccormick
millions are made up of dollars paid
in for farm machinery during the last
half century.
What Man Will Do For Love
The marriage f Harold Mccormick
to the thrice married Polish Opera
Singer, Gamma Walska is the story of
man of great wealth, swayed by love
who gave up one of Americas greatest
industrial positions, the presidency of
the international Harvest Co., stripped
himself of lareg part of his huge
fortune and unmade two marriages
Chis wn and hiatt of Nine. Walska), in
order to wed the woman of his choice.
1t is estimated that it cost him $15,-
100000. These figures include the set
tlement with his former wife settle
ment Of $5,000,O00 on his new wife and
the cost of the two divorces.
Harold McCormick's first wife was
Edith Rockefeller, daughter of John
D. Rockefeller, the worlds richest
man.
Mccormick Finally Gets Divorce
The Rockefeller family is much op-
posed to divorces-still it was John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., who finally went to
Chicago and afer brief and vigorous
conference with his siser, persuaded
her to start action for a divorce, which
was granted just three days before last
New Year. An outside property set
tlement was then made which was re-
ported to be almost half the McCorm-
