NOTHING TO BkAG ABOUT

A young man came along recently with brand-new automobile and spoke rather patronizingly to me as he mo- ticed my old weather-beaten car that I, bought back in the fall of 1915. He plainly felt superior to me. Yet why should he? I happen to know that he is so careless in his habits, so neglect full of his property, that he has to have a new car every year; after he has driven a car for twelve months, it is worthless. His new car is always symbol of his incompetence and slip shod character. Why should he be so coeky toward anyone capable of taking. care of property?

ATLANTA, Sept. 2.-(By Tho

the statewide democratic primary
on September 10, political eandl-
dates for the various offices are
NAL ing extensive drives in the last
few days before the citizenship will
go to the polls and cast their votes.
Less than a week remains before all
of the political speeches will be
history, and ballots will be in the
process of being counted.
And in these last few days the
candidates for the many offices Gill
visit only those communities where
they feel that last word will better
their candidacy.
outstanding in the race for state
offices is that between United
States Senator William J. Harris
and former Senator Thomas W.
Hardwick, for the seat of Senator
Harris. Both of these candidates
havl made many campaign speeches,
Senator Harris pointing to his rec
ord in bidding for reelection, ard
former Senator Hardwick attacking
the record Of Senator Harris, and
making an attack on the Ku Klux
Khan.
The only thing that remains to
be done after the primary, insofar
as the governors chair is concern,
ed, is to count the votes cast for
Clifford Walker, who is unopposed
for reelection, following the with
drawal of H. H. Elders from the
arena several weeks ago, and leav-

bent.

THIRD OF PLAINS

With Long, Open Fall Weather
Engineer AnsIey Hopes to

USING MUCH NATIVE ROCK
Already $4,000 TO. $4,000

Three miles. more or less, of the

If the fall is long, open fall, with

In one week, Mr.. Ansley said,
the crews were able to complete
1900 feet. Mr.. Ansley's gangs
are bit short, he says, and using
the rocks gathered by the farm
ers in the section through which the
roads runs, delays the work to some
extent. However, despite the delay
Mr.. Ansley says the use of these
rocks has caused saving.
mot only a saving" Mr.. Ansley
added, "but we have paid out to
the farmers out that way between
$4,000 and $4,000 for rock. This
was money they needed and it kept

Il don't mean to say that the ROAD
could not be constructed more ra-
pidly, but we are looking to the
future, we are building a road that
will last. 1t would be utter folly to
spend $4,000 or $4,000 a mile to
build a road that won't hold up

quality for speed"

These gentlemen inspected every

these engineers remarked, "but
never built better mile than you

.STRIB FIT zSIMN0NS
B OUT DISAPPOINTIN
Macon Lad Easily Outpoints OPP
ponent Before Crowd of g.
600 at Central City Park

MACON, Sept. 2.-Young Stri5-
ling here Monday afternoon battled
before his home folks and easily
outpointed Young Bob Fitzsimmons.
The bout was a disappointment to
about eight thousand persons who
towards the end booed the fighters.
stribling punched Fitzsimmons at
will, but was never able to put
across a blow having enough steam
to do much harm to his opponent.
On the other hand Fitzsinmons did
nothing but paw at Stribling and
was constantly going into a clinch.
Stribling weighed in at 166, and
Fitzsimmons TIA,
After the referee held up Strib-
Iing's hand at the end of the tenth
round, declaring him the victor
Fitzsimmons instead of retiring to
his corner, said something to Str'b-
ling, and stribling pushed him away
A crowd quickly gathered, but Fitz-
simmons returned to his corner aNd
left the ring after Young Strioling
went over to his opponents corner
and shook hands with him.
Fitzsimmons is said to have called
Stribling's attention to a remark he
made in the tenth round which Firz-
simmons didn't like. Stribling apollo
gized when he went over to shake
the defeated fighters hand.
In the attendant excitement, tee,
graph wires at the ringside were
torn down. However, no one was
hurt. One woman tainted.

DECLARES FOR NEW DEAL

ABOARD DAVIS SPECIAL, En-

ara those of farm relief leglsla'
Hon tariff revision and the e&
tension of the nations conservation
nrogram. Other issues OF less I'M
nortance will also be touched upon,
with Davis taking a definite stahu
upon all of these.
In his Wheeling address the Dem

didate. came with his declaration
that he believed in a liberty that IS
above and beyond all governmental
control" and could not sympathlze
with those "who would give to con-
crosses and legislatures or even to
popular majority, the power to DO
whatever they might see fit"
There is no such thing in Amer
ca as governmental discretion" he
said. at is not the strong who need
protection against unwise and IN
Just laws, nor against the encroach-
ments of power; it is the weak on
whom the burden of such things IS
apt to fall.
"They have the right to call
upon the courts to say to every
governmental autocrat, great or
small, Thus far shalt thou and no
further"
The nominee again declared
against the use of injunctions in
labor disputes as he did at ClarlSs-
burg in his acceptance address, and
he added that if legislation already
passed providing against such use
Us not sufficient guidance IN this mat
Ter we must write it in palmer terms
He added that on the ground of too
wide a use of the injunction power,
labor had cause to make complaint
against the judicial power.
Davis spoke at the Wheeling
Park from a stand at the foot of a
gently sloping hill on which were
gathered several thousand. His sta9
