ARCIHIE WILLIS IN .$W FIELD. Well IKniowi Advedtishin dfan, Native of tlits County, 101118 Ativint Adver. tising Staff. Friends in .this county of J. Archic iiIs, native of Gray Court, who has becn with The Atlanta Jour'nal for a -number of years, will be interested in a now connection he has made with the Geo. W. Ford Adveiising Agency in Atlanta. In carrying the announce ment of the change, The Journal had a very complimentary notice of MNr. Villis and the line worg 1te has done on that paper, 'which The.Advertiser reproduces, as follows: - - J. Archie [Willis, one of the most capable and widely-known a(vertis lng men in the south, left The Jour nal Monday to become associated with the (icorge W. Ford Advertising agen cy, of Atlanta. Announcement of Njr. Willis' new Connection will he read with interest througiout the soutl, for he has friends in practically every city in 'Dixie and is Particularly well known, through his work, to -the business mn of hundreds of cities and towns. Mr. Willis has3 been -with The Journal for six years and has been In the advertising bImsiicss for. more than ten years. Durin la.,at time he has won a well-deser eputation for ability in every ph f adver .tising second to none. For the last two ye r. Willis has conducted the land and industrial department of Tie Joirnal, a tposi tion In whIch his worlkN.,Ws nothing short of brilliant. The p,;qoto of the department was, "Know hsout and let the south know you,' -- rl readers of The .lotrnal will tesjf recalling the editions of the Sunah4 paper in whiclh the department tigured promi nently, that Mr. Willis Ann his asso clates just about made tha(. motto ap ply' to every community of, prominence in half a dozen states. The higher character 6t Mr. Willis' work gained him a recognition that resulted in more than one flattering offer for his services. He leaves The Journal with mutiual regret on both sides, to go with an agency that has collie rapidly to the fore as one .of the soutil's most prominent and progres sive. INIlth such 'well-known advertis ing men as George W. Ford, T. E. Fal vey, A. M. Waples and others, Mr. Wil l1s Is certain to Increase the prestige and sticcess of the Ford agency to a ipoint even greater than that which It now enjoys. PEEPLES MAY RUN AGAINST ED SMITH Issues Statement After Conforence Here. Will Oppose League. The Statc, May 4. Thomas IH. Peeples, attorney gen eral for three successive terms, will most likely be a candidate for the Ujnited States senate this summer in tht campalgn against . ). Smith. A conference of a grouip of friends of Mr. leeples was held in Columbia yesterday, and wliIle no definlite an iounceient is made by .Mr. Pleepies that he will be a caiididate, he says; lie will be in the race, "provided lily friends from other counties'' feel Iii cilined to urge his entrance. Another Icoiference is to be held within tile next few weeks. 'Following the conference Mr. Pee pes issued a statement in whicli he indicated the chief points of his plat form, should lie go into the campaign this summer. le is opposed to the adoption of the league of nations, along with the peace treaty, and against the 18th, or prohibition amendment and the Susan h. Anthony amendment granting suffrage to women. Mr. 'Peeiples was elected attorney general in 1912 and served three sue cessive termi's In that oilee. In the summer of '1918 Mr. Peeples vohuni teered for service in the ITl11ted States army. .1list prior to the (late for hir ifnduction into the service at Pa Ic Alto, Calif., the armistice was signed. <lie was subsequently commissioned as nia.lor in the judge advocate generatl's department In "Washington, where he served seven months. Only within the last few weeks .lr. Peeples was com missioned with the rank of major In the oflicers' reserve corps and Is sub ject to call at any time. 'rhe following Is the statement 18 sued by Mr. 1Peples at the concli sionl of the conference: "At a conference of my friends from other counties who have urged me to day to make the race for the United States senate I consented to do so, provided 1my friends from other coun ties not here today felt the same way as those present. I 'will await further expression at a subsequent conference before definitely announcing my can didacy. .IHowever, I have no hesitancy In saying from all present indications I expect to be a candidate, I f eel it is Only fair to slate my platform before asking any fiurther ex.. presslon from my friends. I am op posed to the Susan 11. Aqthony amend men i, Which grants o(itial suffrage to women, and which would allow the women of our state to vote under fed eral supervision. I anm not opposed to Our white Women enjoying the right orsuffrage anl voting the same as our White men when controlled by our state election laws. Otherwise our primary system In South Carolina would be destroyed. '"I am oppose(d to the'adoption 01 the 18th amnendment to the federal constitution In toto. It cireulmserlbs'6 the Inherent liberties of our people as the moral stamina of any )eolplc rests entIrely with the Inividual. Not can it be recoeciled with the preambli of the constitution of tle Ilnited States In Ihat s;entimnent ex I)eVssed as fol lows: "'To secure the blessings of libert3 to ourselves and to our posterity.' "I am opposed to the league of na tIons being embodied lit the peact treatty. The peace treaty should hi comitplete( without delay, amd thit league of niations tak (enI up afterwards "In other Words. I stand first. las and always for state rights which have been usurped by the federal gov ernmtient. "I will make a more full and de tailed discussion of these questions at a later date both upon issues and facts -facts which 'were ascertalned diring my recent stay in Washington while serving as major in the judge advo cate general's department, where I had opportunity of constantly bleing In touch with the affairs of the govern ment and the eillciency and prestige of our representatives, both in te sen ate and in the house." iLOW ON STOMACl hIILS LI'l"E I'l110) Vannis Workmanli .Jr., of P1ine01and Snecumbs.
