LET'S GO! SLOGAN
URGED FOR GEORGIA
CROPS BOUNTIFUL, INDUSTRY
ACTIVE, BUSINESS GOOD AND
OPTIMISM PREVAILS, ALL RE-
PORTS NOW INDICATE.

Atlanta, Ga.-Let's Go.
The futures looking mighty bright,
Let's go!
Things are working out all right,
Let's go!
Wheels are turning, smoke-stacks
show,
Fires are blazing high below,
Traffic signals green and so
Let's go!
This verse is appropriate to Geor-
gia and other Southern cities at the
present time.
Georgia's future is bright none
brighter. Things are working out
splendidly for all concerned. The
crops are bountiful, the wheels of in
dustry are turning, business is good
and optimism is found everywhere.
There is an increasing demand for
employment in all lines of business
in Atlanta, which means that it's pop
ulation must continue to grow in this
way, as we'll as through other chan
nels.
Is it any wonder that the average
Georgian can shout exultantly "Traf-
fic signals green and so let's CO."

Farm Leaders Urge
Diversified Crops

Atlanta, Ga.-Diversity in produc-
ton is insurance against bad times,
it was pointed out here today by of
ficials of the Georgia Department of
Agriculture.
The farmer whose crops are suf-
ficiently diversified almost never has
complete failure, it was shown. A
season that is bad for one crop is
usually good for another and the ten
dency is for deficiency in one crop to
be made good by abundance in some
other one, officials said.
The farmer who depends upon cot
ton alone or any other one crop alone
is always in danger of suffering Sc
riously from a crop failure, while the
one who has half a dozen or more
different crops always has something
to fall back upon, it was asserted.
One of the most useful factors in
the state today is the Market Bulle-
tin provided for the farmers through
the state department of agriculture,
agricultural leaders here claim. The
Bulletin helps the farmer get wider
market with better prices, it was
stated. The Bulletin is sent free to
all farmers upon request.

CAMPAIGN CANARD
NAILED BY JEFFERSON
REPRESENTATIVES
HARRIS AND ENGLAND MAKE
VIGOROUS DENIAL OF STATE
MENTS MADE BY HOLDER OP-
PONENTS.

To the People of Jefferson County:
Charges have recently been made
in the county to the effect that the
State Highway Department has only
81 miles of state roads to allot in
stead of 500 miles.
, In view of the fact that we repre-
sented Jefferson county in the legis-
lature at the time the bill authoriz-
ing the extra mileage was passed we
deem it our duty to make a statement
in reference to the extra mileage
question.
During the summer of 1925 bill
was introduced in the House to in
crease the road mileage 800 miles.
When the bill came on the floor for
passage it was amended for the pur-
pose of increasing the road mileage
500 miles. The author of the bill and
the members of the legislature in
tended that this bill should authorize
the State Highway Department to al
lot the sum of 500 miles of state road
mileage in the different parts of the
state. And it was upon the belief
that the bill carried such authority
that we agreed to support the bill.
1t is claimed that the bill passed at
the session of 1925 limited the mile
age in the state system to the present
amount of miles. 1t is true that the
bill limited the number of miles out
side of Incorporated towns and cities.
But the law as it now stands allows
$500 miles of roads in addition to the
mileage which happens to be included
in the territorial limits of incorpor-
ated towns and cities of $500 or less
in population. Under this view of
the law the state highway department
has now 800 additional miles to be
allotted.
The State Highway Department is
certainly constituting the law in ac-
cordance with the intention of the
members of the General Assembly
who voted for this bill. They state
that they will allot the extra mileage,
and their action is in accordance with
the intention of the legislature.

SPREAD OF WEEVIL
OVER COTTON BELT
REPORTED GENERAL

Tallulah, La.-Except for the
Piedmont sections of Georgia, North
Carolina and South Carolina, boil
weevil infestation is increasing gen.
orally over the cotton belt, it was an
nounced at the delta laboratory here
Thursday.
The past Is days, however, have
shown decrease in cotton hoppers
although their infestation is general
throughout the cotton belt with the
exception of North Carolina, where
only a few severe cases have been
reported in the Piedmont section.
Heaviest infestationin Texas were
reported in the south central portion,
although they were prevalent in the
central and eastern portion. In
Arkansas they are increasing in the
eastern portion in the delta counties
and in Oklahoma they are increasing
i nthe southeastern section of the
state.
Weevils are numerous in Louisiana
with high infestations in both the
southern and the northern section of
the state. In northeastern Louisiana
they are seriously damaging many
fields, and local areas in Mississippi
reported considerable damage, while
a general increase in infestation was
noted over the state.
Infestation is general in southern
Alabama, but lighter. in other sections
of that state and southern Georgia,
while no reports of weevils came
from north Georgia and the Piedmont
section of that state and North and
South Carolina. A light infestation
was reported in the coastal section of
South Carolina. Infestation in North
Carolina was unusually light through
out the state.
Although many localities reported
that cotton showed no recovery from
the depredations of the cotton hop
per, Ill OtucIS IL was IL ulIiHE AoA ~
we'll. Heaviest damage was done in
the eastern half of Texas, in the river
bottoms of Oklahoma, northern Mis-
sissippi and western Tennessee. The
insects were reported general over
Alabama with the heaviest damage
over the northern and central sec
tions.
Severe damage was reported in the
Piedmont section of Georgia and
South Carolina with scattered reports
of damage in other sections of Geor-
gia.
Leaf worms were reported scat
tered throughout Texas, southern
Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and
northern Mississippi, with defoliation
fcotton common in south central
Texas.

FOR JUDGE OF
COURT APPEALS

Judge j. P. Highsmith, we'll known
jurist, especially in south Georgia, is
a candidate for Judge of the Court
of Appeals and is well qualified for
the position. While geographical
lines are not the best to draw in Sc
lecting members of our courts of ap-
peal, still if the aspirants for this Of
flee are equal in all their qualifca-
tions, sections of the state that have
heretofore been represented may we'll
send one of their own up higher.
Judge Highsmith stands we'll with the
attorneys in his circuit and has the
reputation of fair and impartial
Judge we'll versed in the law and in
dustrious in making his decisions.
In a recent letter to the Leader the
Judge says:
81 am a candidate for the Court of
Appeals in opposition to Judge Alex
ander w. Stephens, of Atlanta, who
was elected eight years ago. I am
basing my candidacy on the PROPOSE
ton that by diligent effort much of
the delay in the final disposition of
cases in court can be eliminated.
"No one, of course, would say that
a judge should not give all the time
necessary to decide cases properly
and justly; but if five of the judges
require on an average only fie months
from the time cases are appealed to
decide them, it is unreasonable for
the sixth judge to take twelve months
and longer to decide cases of the
same general class. The trouble is
not too much consideration, but too
little work.
Something must be done to cur
tail the growing disrespect for courts
and disregard of law. Delay in court
procedure is largely responsible for
this condition. If elected l pledge
myself to cooperate with the other
five members of the court to the end
that the unreasonable delay at pres
ent existing may be eliminated"

ELECT A Highway Governor"

ELECT "A f1lghWay Governor
(From the Waycross journal Herald)
1t is time to elect highway gov
ernor in Georgia.
Whether you are in favor of a
state bond issue or opposed to state
bond isue you must be aware by this
time that Georgia must have paved
highways before she can attain many
fthe goals she has in mind.
The paving of the highways is ur-
gently needed to supplement and
support the building OF tobacco in
dustry, the continuance of hydro
electric development, the furtherance
of industrial development, the loca-
ton in the state of new settlers and
better farmers, the faster diversified
ton of crops, the securing of addi-
tional consolidated schools, the at
traction of capital to the state.
For all of these things and for
many others paved highways are
needed.
This is why Georgians must work
for paved highways.
This is why John Holder is going
to be the next governor, because
without question he is building high
ways and will work for the paving
of Georgia highways.
Georgia urgently needs a highway
governor.

A Construction Record
(From the Journal of Lanorl

(From the Journal of Lapor)
John N. Holder, Of jefferson, Ca,
chairman of the state highway board
and candidate for governor of Geor-
gia, is making no personal campaign
in his race for the post of chief ex-
ecutive, but according to his friends,
who are perfecting an active organ
izationI throughout the state. the sit
uation as regards his candidacy is
highly satisfactory.
Mr.. Holder is perhaps one of the
best known men in the public life of
Georgia, having for many years par
ticipated in legislative activities and
been identified with affairs of state.
He has served in both branches of
the state legislature and for several
years was speaker of the house of
representatives. During the period
of his service in the legislative body
he participated in the enactment of
many constructive statutes, support
ing measures for the development of
public schools, highways and other
economic facilities.
Himself farmer and business man
of wide experience, Mr.. Holder while
a member of the legislature was in
strumental in the enactment of many
measures intended to aid agricultural
development in Georgia.
AS chairman of the state highway
board, a post he has held for more
than four years, Mr.. Holder has con-
sistently advocated policy Of road
development and construction, insist
ing upon the "pay as you go" plan
instead of issuing state bonds in large
amounts to provide system of hard
surfaced roads in Georgia.
The bond proposal was defeated in
the state legislature last spring and
Mr.. Holders friends through the
state urged him to become the anti
bond candidate to carry the issue be-
fore the people and thus obtain a di-
rect expression from the public on
this important matter.

cause Mr.. Phillips, of the highway

ty and those who know him feel that
his presence on the board is a vindi-
cation of any and all charges against
the board, and in the third place, the
people of Jefferson county are
pleased wit hthe work of the depart
ment. Roads in Jefferson county

largely to the county board of COM

Interesting Facts About Holder

A writer in the Athens Banner
gives the following interesting facts
about Hon. John N. Holder:
For number of years he very ably
represented Jackson county in the
house of representatives, and also
served a term in the senate, and was
the author of much constructive legis-
lation.
He was the author of the bill plac-
ing the convicts on the public roads,
and finally broke up the convict lease
system.
He was for many years speaker of
the house of representatives, and con-
sidered one of the ablest and fairest
speakers who ever occupied that posi-
ton.
In 1904, by heroic efforts, he
helped to keep the Agricultural Col
lege at Athens, where it has made the
most wonderful success and come to
be regarded as the best institution of
that character in the United States,
and strongly supported the common
schools, the University of Georgia,
and all it's branches, and when not
speaker, was chairman of the COM
mittee on education.
When student at the university
he soon became the leader in all his
classes. Fresh from the farm on
which he was raised, he amazed stu
dents and professors with feats of his
marvellous mind. He easily led in
every study, and graduated in 1890
with the first honor.
He is a first class business man,
and has successfully served as the
president of the bank at Jefferson
has for many years been the owner
and editor of the Jackson Herald, a
clean and influential newspaper, and
has always been engaged in farming,
in which he has also been successful.
Fl els man of the very highest
type of christian character, and a
prominent leader in church activities,
in which he wields great influence.
He is unquestionably the most pop
ular man in Jackson county, and has
never failed to carry it by substantial
majorities when a candidate, and will
repeat at the September primary.
