HOLDER TO CONDUCT
VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN In
CUBERNATORIAL RACE

Washington. Ga.-That John N.
| Holder. anti-bond candidate for gov
ernor. is going to wage vigorous
canvass in the turnover gubernatorial
campaign was made apparent here
Saturday by Mr.. Holder in speech
to the people of Wilkes and adjoin-
ing counties.
Mr.. Holder has secured thirty
day leave of absence from the high
way department, without pay, and
purposes to meet the people face to
face, discussing with them the issues
of the campaign and answering the
abuse that has been leveled at him
by his opponent.
He denounced an eieventh-hour re-
port, secretly circulated by the Hard
man headquarters, on the eve of the
first primary, charging him with mis-
appropriating funds of Martin insti-
tute and the Methodist church.
"The best refutation of this SIAN
der lies in the fact that DIR. Hardman,
assisted by his check book, could not
carry Jackson county, in which both
of us reside, and in which Martin in
stitute is located" he said.
Mr.. Holder denied that he intended
to appoint j. J. Brown as chairman
of the highway board. g" have not
discussed the craftsmanship of the
department with Mr.. J. j. Brown, and
if i am elected governor, will not
appoint him chairman of the highway
board
II am running my own race" said
he. II have run it without any col
lusion, understanding or agreement
with any other candidate. Can DR..
Hardman say as much? Scarcely had
the ballots ceasel falling before the
combination issued manifesto to the
people of Georgia and declared that
the men who supported Carswell and
Wood were to be delivered into the
Hardman colony"
Mr.. Holder declared that the day
has come when "the picture that DR..
Hardman has drawn of himself-a
great humanitarian millionaire -
must be exposed"
II would like to ask the doctor if,
in the days following the World war,
when cotton mill operators over the
state were asking employers that
their wages be adjusted, and some of
the mills adjacent to Commerce did
adjust their wages, didn't the human
itarian millionaire doctor voice a Wig
orous protest and state that two dol
lars day was entirely too much for
cotton mill operators, as none of
them was worth over fifty cents a
day.
II would ask the doctor, as an en- !
ployer of labor, what improved con-
ditions and modern conveniences are
furnished employees of his own cot
ton MILL"
Referring to DIR. Hardman's great !
wealth and Admission" of unusual
business ability, Mr.. Holder inquired
to know how the doctor had acquired
his money, and asked if he didn't In.
herit it.
Mr.. Holder charged that DR.. Hard
man has avoided the issue of the cam
paign, which is the proposition to is.
sue bonds. He pointed to the incon-
sistencies of the doctors position I
with respect to this issue, and called
attention also to statement madea
by DR.. Hardman in Madison county
that he, Holder, should remain chair
man of the highway board.

which cities of Florida had

Which cities of Florida had
Ie largest proportion OF grown
persons to their population in
4 1925? DIR. X. M. Harper, local geo.
grapher and statistician, believes
that ne has located nearly all with
over 65 per cent of adults, and
most of those with over so per
cent, although, he states, the
question cannot be finally an
s@efed, without an exhaustive per-
usal Of the returns from over a
thousand precincts in the last
state census report.
According to DIR. Harper's sta
tisties on the subject, Palm Beach
led the other cities of the state
with more adults in 1925, with a
percentage of 1875.
Pass-a-Grille was second, with
74.9 per cent, and st. Cloud third,
with 1876 Lynn Haven, Valpar-
also, Zephyrhills, Miami Beach,
Bradenton and st. Petersburg
were next in order among the lead
ers.
The proportion of adults has an
important bearing on educational
facilities, the statistician points
out. Where two-thirds Of the pop
ulation is over 81 as in many
cities, he explains, there are two
adults or potential taxpayers to
every child. In addition to that,
DIR. Harper says, the schools ought
TO be much better equipped than
where there are more children
than grown persons, as there are
in most rural communities.
Although the school statistics
Of Florida land probably most
other states) make no distinction
between city and country schools, :"
says the statistician, cit is evident
that the former are usually better
equipped and better attended, and
It Is safe guess that cities with
more adults than the average have
better schools than the average,
and naturally less illiteracy."
The table DIR. Harper prepared
shows, he says, the per cent of
adults in 1926 in the white pop
ulation of several Florida cities
and towns that rank high in that
respect. All Of those cities listed,
he adds, seem to have less than /
per cent of illiteracy among the
whites.
- Corresponding figures for 1920
~were given for comparison where
possible, says the statistician, but
many of the places, he states, were
too small in 1920 to be treated
separately in the federal census
Of that year. The third column
gives the per cent of illiteracy
among the white population over
10 years old, in the same cities
n 1920. Figures for negroes
were not given, but the proper
ton of adults among them was
usually a little lower than that
for the whites in the same COM
munities, and the percentage of
illiteracy always greater, accord
ing to DR.. Harper.
Some of the 1925 figures were
a little uncertain, the statistician
points out, because the calcula-
tons were based on precincts, and
city boundaries do not always coin
eide with precinct boundaries.
The difference, however, he says,
Is small. In the case of Miami,
nevertheless, there are some o.her
uncertainties, which make it inn
possible to get the adult percent
ages for 1925, the statistician says.

HE PROVED HIS
ADS ARE READ

So many customers were out Q, own on vacations that one of our merchant friends in d nearby town concluded that ii wasn't worth while to continue his advertisement | n the home paper. He knew the editor well and called him up and ordered out the ad "I don't believe people see il anyhow" the merchant informed his friend the editor. The latter suggested thatt it might be well to change the copy, but the merchant had made up his mind.
 The paper came out as usual, but f, flowing the editors instructions the illustration in the merchants ad was upside down. That evening he editor strolled into the store and was immediately hailed by his friend.
 What's the big idea of having that cut upside down in my ad." he inquired. "I told you to take my ad out"
 Well, you're probably the only one that noticed it" replied the editor.
 "Is that so?" replied the mer- chant Why bet fifty people have already called my attention to the change-asked if I'd seen it. A dozen customers brought their own paper to show me. Two women went to the trouble to call me up on the telephone about 1t. I didn't realize that so many people noticed my ad. You had better let it run and will get up some new copy right away"
