M;srenresentine Georgia

(From the Tifton Daily Gazette)
If the advocates of big bond IS
sue for paved roads would use a lit
tie more judgment and not contln-
ually misrepresent Georgia in com
pairing it with other states, others
might have more patience with them'
thinks the Dawson News, which says
"Their favorite method OF argument
is to belittle Georgia and laud some
other state. They have misrepresent-
ed Georgia so much that strangers
who come to find things different
from what they had been told.
Mr.. Holder has many critics
and needs no defender. His silence
in the face of all that has been SAID
about him is his best defense. lie
has kept his head and continued
busy with business Of the highway
department throughout all the accu-
sations heaped upon him, and has
won our admiration for his GOODNESS
under fire. His harshest critics are
doing him much more good than they
are harm and if Holder is elected, he
will owe the Telegraph at least a
vote of thanks"
The editor of the Telegraph takes
himself too seriously. He should
read Johnny Spencer's column occa-
sionally. He has cried "Thief,
Thief" until his repetitions have be-
come boresome.

WHAT GEORGIA PRESS
HAS TO SAY ABOUT THE
CUBERNATORIAL RACE
Says Carswell Demanded Allotment
of Mileage
(From the Louisville News and

Louisville people are not at all
moved by the many and varied
charges made by the opponents OF
John Holder for governor of Georgia.
In the first place, they know these
charges to be unfounded by fact, and
they resent the cowardly political
principles that prompted such
charges. When Mr.. Carswell attacks
the road mileage that the highway
board plans to allot, he evidently for
gets that he motored to Louisville
this summer t oattend one of the
highway hearings, asking for road
mileage for his county, and stated in
jefferson county courthouse, shaking
his fist in the face of the board, '1f
you do not give this mileage, the
people will rise up and put in men
who will allot this mileage" Jeffer-
son county voters will remember the
changed attitude of Mr.. Carswell as
a man, and Mr.. Carswell, the politi-
clan.

"Nails Another Lie"
(From the Franklin News and

(From the FRANKLIN news anu
Banner)
Hon. Thos J. Shackleford, of Ath-
ems, nails another lie of the opposi-
tion to Holder. One of the opposing
candidates has been making the
charge that Holder tried to fasten
the convict lease system on the state
when the convicts were placed on
the public roads. Mr.. Shackleford
shows by the records that he and
Holder roomed together, and with
others were joint authors of the law
that broke up the miserable lease.
And still the losing candidates for
governor are iprating about Holders
machine" We admit that Holder
has a great and strong machine to
back him. It is the stentorian call to
service from about seventy-five per
cent of the best and most reliable
people of the state.

SIGNALS AND HEAVY RAIL
FOR MACON-FLA. LINES
SOUTHERN RY. SYSTEM

Atlanta, Ga.-Carrying forward
plans for the improvement of its lines
between the Ohio river and Florida,
the Southern Railway System an
nounces that it will install electric au-
tomato block signals of the new
color light type on the line of the
Georgia Southern and Florida Rail-
way from Macon to Jacksonville, 262
miles, and will lay 85-pound rail on
$50 miles of track, equipping all
parts of the Macon-Jacksonville line,
now laid with lighter rail, and the en-
tire line between Valdosta, Ga, and
Palatka, Fla, 134 miles.
Installation of electric automatic
signals between Macon and Jackson
vile will give the Southern advan-
tage of this protective system on its
entire line between Cincinnati and
Jacksonville. The system is now in
service between Cincinnati and Chat
tanooga and is being installed be-
tween Chattanooga and Macon. All
bridges and other structures between
Chattanooga and Macon are being
strengthened so as to permit the
operation of the heaviest locomotives
and longer passing tracks have been
provided to accommodate the longer
trains that will be handled.
Longer and additional passing
tracks have also been constructed be-
tween Macon and Valdosta and be-
tween Valdosta and Jacksonville as
part of the Southern's plan for the
improvement of this line.

BUILD UP GEORGIA,
URGES W. R. critics

Atlanta, Ga.-Addressing the At
lanta Exchange Club recently at the
Atlanta Athletic Club Building, w.
r. Critics suggested a working pro-
gram for the building up Of Georgia
and analysed the situation as it is to-
day, showing the defects. He pointed
out how the people are neglecting to
take advantage of the natural re-
sources of the state.
Mr.. Critics was introduced by Har-
ry MCGOWAN. The meeting was pre-
sided over by Edward N. Claughton,
vice president of the club. "Home
Problems" was the subject of the
speaker.
Possibilities of the mineral belt
were stressed by Mr.. Critics, as well
as agricultural and marketing. He
urged that industries be brought to
the state in order that raw materials
may be turned into finished products
at home and that more intensive cul-
tivation programs be followed with a
cutting of the cotton acreage.
"It is time for the peopl eto wake
up said Mr.. Critics. "We can not
continue to spend money out of the
state for things we use and could
raise and make. Proper storage and
packing facilities should be encour-
aged along with a program of edu-
cation so that Georgia consumers
may recognize the value of the home
product.
"When a program of that kind is
adopted" said Mr.. Critics, in con-
cluding his speech ,"the dawning of
a new day is at hand for Georgia"

1.-THE One Issue"

Es(From the Moultrie Observer)
John Holder will be elected gov
ernor because he took the right side
of the bond proposition. 1t was a
high-handed scheme that was laid to
mortgage the state of Georgia to the
road machinery and road material
people through the prosperous me-
dunn of the big city banks. 1t was
Holder who stepped in and saved the
state from this indebtedness. This
race for governor is an appeal from
the legislature. 1t will either put
Georgia on record in favor of bonds
or against bonds. If Holder is elect
ed, the state will be pledged to a
policy of pay as you go. Any at
tempt to find other issues and to in
ject personal matters, is an attempt
to muddy the waters and dodge GER
