THE FASHION SHOW.

ThE Fashion Show last night was
= revelation and the biggest thing
that the merchants of Americas have
ever done, in many respects. Its big
best value lies in the fact that it
demonstrated beyond the slightest
doubt that the women of this COM
munity who demand to be fashion
ably dressed and want the smartest
and most up-to-date apparel, made
of the best materials, need not go
outside of Americas to fill their
needs or meet their most discerning
tastes. Heretofore the idea has been
too general that the smartest and
best gowns, coats and suits could be
had only by going to Macon or At
lanta or even farther away. In nu-
merous instances women are known
to have bought smart clothing else
where, thinking they were getting
something exclusive and better than
could be obtained here, only to find
when they returned the same gar
ments on display in local shops.
The gowns and other apparel dis
played at the Fashion Show by the
flower Of the young womanhood of
Americas were everything that the
eye could demand, from the most ar
tistic creations in plain lines and
modest shades and colors to the most
gorgeous. In entering into this ex-
hibit the merchants Of Americas have
done the community as well as them
selves a distinct service.

HARD TO GET OUT OPPOSITION

The silence Of the last ten days from
Monroe indicates also that Clifford
Walker has yielded to the good judg-
ment Of his friends and viii not make
the race, however much he continues
to aspire to the governorship. And
1t becomes more and more apparent
that Governor Hardwick viii have no
opposition this year for reelection.
The fact is, opponents Of the gov
ernor are going to have a mighty
hard time finding a man willing 10
butt his head against the stone wall
which he would have to encounter
should he make the race. Even his
enemies concede that Governor Hard
wick has made a splendid governor
in which he has disappointed them.
He has been conservative and con-
structive; he has worked at the Job
and has been making progress for
Georgia, something the people appre.
clate. Having made good and hav.
ing made no serious missteps, any
opposition would find him difficult
to attack, and unless vulnerable
spot could be found it would be hone
less for any man in Georgia to op-
pose him, under the circumstances.
So it looks more and more like
Georgia would be given rest from
major politics this year, for which
all should be duly thankful. We all

er two years without a knock-dowp
