FOR CONSRESS:
HON. GORDON LEE.
What old Paulding needs i« full
smoke-houses and corn-cribs. Don’t
forget that.
Twenty-five days more before the
election—and the voters are getting
>n the hand wagon to beat the band.
Hon. Gordon Lee will sweep the
district for congress. He is I he right
ipnn In exactly the right place and
tl e people know It.
Keep In a good humor until .Tune
-ItIt—then the victorious crowd can
tight, and shout If they choose to
their hearts content.
The town and country [must keep
In perfect harmony with each other.
Neither will prosper without the co
operation of the other.
The Atlanta Georgian’s work for
Hon. Joseph M. Brown Is worth
mote to him than that of any other
dozen papers supporting him, truth
fully remarks a contemporary.
A scientist says the world Is drying
off and all Its Inhabitants will finally
die of thirst. They aro doing that
'in Georgia now, says a contemporary,
hut it Is for something a little strong
er than water.
It Is reported that several candi
dates attended the singing at High
Shoals Sunday—and the strange part
of it is they didn’t take part in the
singing. The question arises then
what did they go for?
An exchange suggests that if
the husbands of the town who spend
hours daily talking politics would
spend that time at home sawing
stovewood and working the garden
for their wlvos they would hav<
more home comfort, more vegetables
ami perhaps more friends.
Dr. W. F. Goldin, candidate for
congress from this district, made an
appointment to speak in tin- court
house on Saturday IK, Inst. He went
to tlx- country and has not yet re
turned. We suppose he found so lit
tle encouragement that lio gave (Jor
don over to Hon. Gordon I.ee with
out further content.—Calhoun Times.
THE GUBERNATORIAL RACE
The New Era has had a good
deal to say relative to the guber
natorial campaign since Hon.
Joe Brown announced his candi
dacy. This for the reason that
to us it would be nothing short
of a calamity to put the execu
tive power of Georgia in such
hands ns those of Jos. M. Brown.
In taking this stand we say noth
ing against the moral character
of Mr. Brown. So far as we
know he has a good moral char
acter as that is generally under
stood. Llis supporters have been
trying to make much out of the
statement signed by Ilev. Jno.
E. White, pastor of the Second
Baptist church in Atlanta, testi
fying to Mr. Brown’s personal
good character. But this has
nothing to do with the matter.
So far as we know Joe Brown’s
personal morals have not been
brought into question during the
campaign. A man’s character is
presumed to bo good until it is
in some way brought into ques
tion. s
For years and years the people
of Georgia have been trying to
get control of the government of
the state so that the monied in
terests could not, by their paid
lobbyists and their special repre
sentatives, control the legislation
to suit themselves iu all particu
lars. What is needed in this
state and in every other state of
the union is not more legislation
favorable to those who have
money ; but legislation is needed
to give the poor fellow of limited
means, and the one without
means, an opportunity to' com
pete in the world for an exist
ence. This whole nation is curs
ed today by the accumulations ot
fortunes in the hands of a few
men.
Every man with any kind of
reasoning powers knows that
where a fortune of hundreds of
millions gets into the hands of
one man this makes it harder for
thousands of other men to make
a living. What is needed is an
opportunity for all men a like to
live, to earn money and make
life comfortable for themselves
and their families. There has
been too much legislation favor
ing wealth. Unless a stop is put
k to this not many years will pass
before the great masses of the
common people will be entirely
at the mercy of those who con
trol the wealth of the country.
The recent linancial depression
was not caused by unjust legisla
tion against capital.
Already the monied interests
have such power that they can
make the country to prosper or
to suffer a panic. This is always
done when an attempt is made
to control the monied interests.
By bringing on these depressions
they hope to scare the people
back into the old, old paths of
obedience to the rule of wealth.
That is why so much is now heard
in Georgia about hard times ai d
unjust laws against railroads.
That is the reason they have men
employed to go about telling the
Why is it that those men who
are identified with opposition to
the masses of the people are
working so hard to defeat Hoke
Smith? Why is it that such,
great efforts are being made to
induce the voters of Georgia to
repudiate what they did two
years ago? The people have be
gun to win their battles and they
hope to turn them away. To
lose now means that ultimate
victory will not be gained for
many years to come. T*-e peo
ple need to stand firmly by what
has been done and seek to ac
complish what they set out to do.
Joe Brown stands for a re'urn to
the old methods in politics and
is representing the people who
practice the old game,
Whatever may be said against
Hoke Smith, Joe Brown is not
the man whom Georgia needs for
her governor.

Anyone wishing to vote in the

COUNTY POLITICS.
From now until the pri
mary on June 4th, the politi
cal pot will be kept boiling
over iu this county. There
are numbers of candidates out
soliciting votes and many a
plea is being made to|the vo
ters.
We hope this year when
there are so many from whom
to choose, good men will be
elected to all the offices in the
county.
People are sometimes apt
t y vote for a man, not because
of his fitness for the office for
which he is running, bat be
cause he is a jolly, good fel
low, or because he is a friend
to them or to their friends.
We need men to fill all the
offices who have the interest
of the county at heart, men of
good sound common sense,
and above all, men of integri
ty—men who can be trusted
to carry out the duties of the
offices to which they are
elected.
We want to call attention
again to the race for the leg
islature. There are five can
didates for this office. Only
one is to be elected. But this
in a good many respects is
the most important office to be
filled. Especially does Pauld
ing county need as represen
tative in the legislature a man
who can be depended on to
vote light when he is put to
the test. All of a representa
tive’s duties are performed
away from home out of sight
of the eye of his constituents.
All the laws by which the
whole state is governed are
made by the general assem
bly. It is the duty of every
count}' to select from its very
best men a representative—a
man who will indeed repre
sent the sentiment of the
county—one who cannot be
influenced by anything ex
cept a sense of duty to the
people whom he represents.
Let us be careful this year
to select the best man for the
position.

LOOK FOR THE OOOD STRAWS.
The Lackawanna Steel Com
pany put two thousand men at
work in Buffalo last week, mak
ing four thousand now employed
in that city. If straws show
which wav the wind blows this is
certainly au indication that the
panic is passing.—Utica Press.
The Herald’s extensive news
service shows straws of this char
acter in all parts of the country,
says the New York paper of that
name. If everybody would fol
low the example of our esteemed
contemporary, in looking for
ward instead of backward, we
would soon forget that the finan
cial affairs of the country had
been disturbed—Savannah Press.
Right you are, Brother Stovall,
if we could have exterminated
the pessimists and“conntry-gone-
to-ilogs” howlers last November
there would have been scarce
any feeling of a panic; and, in
fact, the attitude of the newspa
pers, such as the Press, that told
the truth and held out honest ei -
courageinent. kept the panic from
assuming greater proportions
than it did.
All along the line confidence is
beiug restored and business con
ditions are changing for the bet
ter all over the country. Each
succeeding week the business in
Fitzgerald is increasing and has
now nearly reached the point at
which it stood before the trouble
last fall.—Fitzfiorald Enterprise

have been good all along if some
