The project is the sewer line be-

GeOrgia's Vote Fight
StirS Democrats

Telephonic talks with officials
Of the Democratic National Com
mittee in New York city reveal the
fact that the High Command Of
that outfit is unwilling to appear
even interested in what is q local
row-but, nevertheless, there were
several conferences on the subject
yesterday.
Considerable emphasis was
placed on the fact that the old
established orthodox Democratic
Absentee Voters Bureau is show
ing how it can function by send
ing nearly q thousand New York
ers over to that city this evening
on special trains, New Yorkers
who will register for the coming
| elections.
The Absentee Voters Bureau
conducted by the Democrats here
is in the charge Of Mrs. s. Jen-
ningS Asbury, who has the back
ing Of the Democratic National
Committee.
This activity has been moving
slowly. Major Estes, an active
Democratic worker, started the
Georgia Democratic Club, now an
extremely active organization. He
was prominent in the Roosevelt
NominatorS Parade organization;
and works closely with the two
Georgia Senators who are def
nitely Of the opinion that he is
Of more service to them than the
Democratic Absentee Voters Bu-
reau.
There is q strong rivalry be-
tween the Georgia Democratic
Club and the Absentee Voters Bu-
reau over the Georgia voters-and
who will induce them to register
and vote. Georgia Senators ex-
tend to Major Estes aid and in
dorSement and look upon him as
a valuable coadjutor; so also the
Georgia delegation in Congress.
Local Democrats who are watch
ing this row are Of the opinion
that the Democratic national com
mittee will attempt to put a
quietus on Major Estes work
wherever it duplicates or conflicts
with the work Of tila Absentee
Voters Bureau, but viii be en-
couraged in the work Of arouSing
political interest in the campaign.

A sharp demand by Mrs. Evelyn

Farley Of the Democratic Ma

District Democracy is in an up

The entire Georgia delegation
in Congress, which backs the
activities Of Major Charles Estes
in instilling life and political
vigor into Georgia's absentee
voters, may be lined UP against

that the Districts Absentee Voters

However, there is a distinct feel

WATER METER
ON EXHIBIT

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Va, July 31.-Just to pacify irate
county citizens who contend that
their water bills always charge
them for more water than they
actually use. and that the water
meters are all "wet" when it
comes to accurate measuring,
county officials have connected
an exhibit water meter in q glass
case in the corridor of the new
court house addition.
Attached to a water fountain
on the second floor, the shiny
new brass meter begins its regis
tration when the fountain han
die is turned for a drink of water
and through its glass inclosure
the heavily burdened taxpayers,
as they have styled themselves,
can see the precision of the me-
terS used throughout the county.
For the convenience Of the
water department, which is
forced to air all complaints con-
cerning the county's terrible"
water meters, the exhibit is at
tached to a fountain just outside
the door of the new offices Of
the water department. One
water official said:
when they kick now we only
have to take them in the hall
and show them this. 1t settles

them, but some Of them-well,

Many Of the canine family ap-
pear to possess more intelligence
than their human superiors.
Under ordinary circumstances a
dog will look out for himself bet
ter than you can do it for him.
There are four things, however,
which, according to nature. are
necessary for his welfare. They
are open air, sunshine, proper
food, and sanitation.
No matter what breed Of dog or
how delicate or tender he may be,
he will crave the open and all that
goes with it. A dog does not like
gloomineSS or darkness when he
can have sunlight.
Any dog, large, rugged, small or
delicate should be allowed to eXer-
else at his own judgment, but
should not be continually kept on
a leash.
The other day I visited a friend
Of mine and from the apartment
below him, I listened to the most
pitiful howls of someone's dog. To

Of the animal and being a canine
fancier himself, he explained that
they were due to the fact that the
dogs owner went away to the sea-
shore, the dog was kept locked in
the bathroom and probably with.
out sufficient water.
It is my opinion, that regard
less of how poor a person may be,
he has no right to own a dog if he
cannot furnish him wholesome
food, exercise, and provide him
with quarters that are not
cramped and well kept.
