HARDMAN IN HALL COUNTY.
There is no question that Dr.
Hardman will carry Hall county.
We ask every one we see. especially
the people from the. country, and
four out of every five are either pos
itively for Hardman or inclined that
way.
Post cards have been sent out to
all the voters in the county with an
invitation to join the Hardman Club.
So far hundreds many have been
returned properly signed. Many
others who favor Hardman have
failed through neglect to return the
cards, and every one is admonished
to hunt up these cards, which have
been laid aside, and sign and return
and become a member of the Club.
Captain Mitchell, secretary of the
Hall County Hardman Club, sent
some of the cards to Stephens coun
ty, inviting voters to become mem
bers of our Club, and he has received
more than 150 members from Ste
phens, fifteen signing one card.
These names have been sent back
to Stephens and a Stephens County
Hardman Club organized there.
The names of the Hall county
Hardman Club will be published in
next Sunday’s Atlanta Journal.
At this stage ol the game, and
prospects are growing better every
day, it looks like Hardman for gov
ernor. The Macon Telegraph says
that in South Georgia there are only
two candidates —except the counties
near Savannah. These two candi
dates are Nat Harris and Dr. Hard
man.
Dr. Hardman’s element of strength
is his well-known character for po
litical integrity, the purity of his
private character, and his ability as
a practical business man, manufac
turer, farmer, and his stand for ed
ucation am' the principles of tem
pereuee.
Another element of strength is
the fact that he is abusing no other
candidate, but toting his own skillet, i
He expects to be elected, not on |
what other candidates are not. but j
upon what lie is himself.
This being the fact—this being the
attitude of Dr. Hardman—should
a deadlock occur in the convention,
it will be very easy for him to draw ■
from the ranks of his opponents.
Since writing the above, M. J.;
Harris has withdrawn from the]
gubernatorial contest. Phis will be ■
a decided advantage to Hardman. ;
It is a question of how much j
strength. Harris had, but he must ■
have had considerable, lor he was i
said to have been the Hoke Smith '
candidate. Now. a very large pro-'
portion of his strength will doubtless ■
go to Hardman, because of the war ■
that had already arisen between the .
two Harrises—W. J and Nat. For
Hardman was and is fighting no one.
We may expect Hardman to carry
the Ninth and Seventh Congression
al districts by good majorities.
MR. BELL’S GREEN STREETER.
Last Friday morning one of Mr.
Beil’s Green Street supporters, in
conversation with a member of the
Charters Club, spoke in very sarcas
tic terms of the Charters meeting
the night before because there were
some men participating in the meet
ing who were stopping in a wagon
yard.
"Ah,” exuitingly spoke this Green
Street supporter of Bell, "you Char
ters men had to rob the wagon yard
to get a crowd at your meeting.”
These men were from the moun
tains amt after arriving at the wagon
yard heard of the meeting of the
Charters Club and wished to attend
it, and they did. They came in
overalls, ami received a hearty wel
come.
Now. we are ot the opinion that
the men who stop at the wagon yards
are just as honest, just as intelligent,
just as virtuous as this aforesaid
Green Street supporter of Mr. Bell.
Tt is true this Green Street suppor
ter of Mr. Beil rides in an automo
bile, stops al the best of hotels —but
there are so few of him, and so aw
ful many of the boys who wear over
alls and stop at the wagon yards.
Mr. Tom Beil is trying to pull the
wool over the eyes of the boys who
stop at the wagon yards by posing
as the friend of the poor man, but
when lie has a good plum to give out
he gives it to the wealthiest men he
can find. For Norcross post-office,
McElroy, a rich man —the richest
in the town. "1 love the poor man,
but O you McElroy—you can give
to my campaign.” In Lawrenceville,
Mr. Cornett, the rich cotton seed
man; in Winder McCants, the rich
est man in town; in Dahlonega.
Meaders, of the richest family in
y -
I Lumpkin county. At Ball Ground.
Jack Lovelady, the richest man in
town: In Gainesville, Andy Mun
dy. worth tens of thousands. got the
job of making the gin returns from
Mr. Bell.
When Mr. Bell came to make the
appointment of cadet to West Point
he gave it to McNieli, a Carolinian,
a ball player, because some Beil
fans and Col. Nash of Riverside
Academy wanted him to. Polk
Niblack, a poor boy oi Jackson
county, and many other good coun
try boys, tried for the place; but
they weren't rich, and didn’t have
the backing of the fans and a big I
Colonel.
These appointments are the best '
Mr. Bell had to give out during his
ten years in Congress—and he gave
them to gentlemen who aggregate
over a million dollars in wealth.
Oh you poor boys’
You have waited patiently for
these ten years for the waters to be
troubled —when Mr. Bell might do
something for the poor man, whom
he loves with a love that passeth
understanding (during the cam
paign). Then when the angel
comes down and stirs the waters —
the rich man enters the pool.
It is the poor man wld> stops at
the wagon yard that Mr. Bell is try
ing to deceive into re-electing him,
by empty promises. But don’t you
think it is rubbing it in for Mr. j
Bell’s Green Street supporters to be I
making fun of the Charters Club ■
for receiving them as participants |
in their meetings?
Oh, Mr. Bell, you have fooled the j
people long enough with your prom- |
ises. After a long experience they I
have finally located you—they have
found that you carried your elec- >
tions under false pretenses of your ,
loyalty to the cause of the poor — j
while you shower your choicej
blessings upon the heads of the '
rich.
And another little incident that ;
we might mention in passing: Last i
winter when Mr. Fuller was dying!
at his home at Gower Springs and!
the news came that his family was :
destitute, Mr. Bell and John Martin '
rode out to the home with a sack of :
flour. John bought the Hour and ;
Tom made the speech of present a- ;
tion. Court'was in session at the;
time. One of the despised lawyers'
mentioned the case inside the bar. ;
Col. Charters handed in livedoliars; i
another lawyer two dollars; another I
two dollars; several more gave two
I dollars. Then they sent it to a lady, :
I who carried it to tire stricken family,
and none knew who gave it.
.Did Charters get- a certificate from
Mrs. Fuller that he had given five ;
dollars? And did he have this cer-
1 titivate published in the papers? , I
Nol much, for he is not a peanut I
! politician.

■ THE NINTH DISTRICT SINCE THE WAR
If you hail made the attempt,!
'without reading this, to tell who'
I have been elected to Congress, and I
j what year, since the civil war, you j
■would probably have misled it sev-;
era! yard-. The thing hard to come I
at was the terms up to isfi and 75. |
'But we found one who knew and re-I
j membered —Mrs. McMillan, mother
of Solicitor Bob McMillan, whose
husband was elected to Congress but
died before he took his seat.
The first man elected to Congress
J after the war was John H..Christy,
i editor of the Athens Watchman,
jHe was refused his seat. This was
j 1866.
In 1868 Wier Boyd of Dahlonega
i was elected, but was also refused his
■ I seat.
•! In 1870 W. P. Price of Dahlonega
I was elected and served a full term.
' 111*1872 Price was beaten for the
. nomination by H. P. Bell of Cum-
i ming, who served a full term.
i i In 1874 Bell was beaten for the
nomination by Garnet McMillan of
Clarkesville, who was elected, but
died in J uly, 1875.
. i A special election was called in
' 1875 and the convention held in
■' Gainesville lasted eight days. Dur
| ' ing all this time Ben Hill, of Athens
i and Atlanta, received 28 votes on
. every ballot. For the first seven
days Parks Bell received 32 votes on
every ballot. Then Bell adherents
; j tried various other candidates, all
, i of them receiving 32 votes —and Hill
[ I the same 28. On the eight day J. B.
, ' Estes was put out as a majority
. ' candidate —the convention rule be-
■ ing two-thirds—and Ben Hill was
> put out as a minority candidate.
- Hill was elected by a large ma jority.
- In this race W. P. Price •ran as an
Independent. During 1886 Hill was
- elected to the Senate. Parks Bell
> ; secured the nomination for the
r House. In this race Emory Speer
t ' ran as an Independent, and Col. M.
■ .r. Archer, posimaster of Gaines-
■ ! ville, was the Republican candidate,
, i and his vote defeated Speer. Archer
t had been put out by Col. Farrow in
, 1 revenge for trying on a former occa-
■ sion to break up a Republican meet
, ' ing at the court house.
I In 1878 Col. Joel A. Billups of
- Madison beat Bell to the nomination,
but Speeu- defeated him by 125 votes.
i In 1880 Bell again was the nominee,
I ut Speer was elected by 4.445 votes.
IsSO A. D. Candler was the nominee,
because no one else wanted it. He
beat Speer by more than 2.600 votes.
Candler had a fair Held until 1888.
when Thad Pickett ran against him
as an Independent. Candler was
elected by about 1.300. After this
race Candler declined to run again,
because, a* he said, "the leg-pullers
cost him a lull term’s salary.”
In 1890 “Col.” Tom Winn, through
the Farmers’ Alliance, secured the
nomination over F. C. Tate and was
elected.
He got tired in one term and quit,
and in 1892 Mr. Tate was elected and
served without opposition till 1896,
when he was opposed by IL H- Perry
on the gold standard plat form. This
year the country was crazy over free
silver and Perry carried only one
precinct in the w hole <1 ist i icl New
town in Jackson county.
In 1898 Tate was opposed by
Howard Thompson lor the nomina
tion, but was re-nominated.
In 1900 J. N. Twitly opposed Tale
for tile nomination, but Tate was
successful.
In 1904 Th os. M. Bel 1 opposed Tate
and was successful —and is still on
the job, with signs oi being pulled
loose by the people.
SOME OPTIMISM.
Congressman Thos. M. Bell spoke
to a big crowd at Buford Saturday
afternoon at 4 o’clock. The crowd
was so large that speaking in the
COURT HOUSE had to lie aban
doned and the people gathered
around the platform of the depot,
in the open air, where Mr. Bell ad
dressed them. —Gainesville News.
Now, Brother Hardy, that is good.
You advise the Bell men to keep
up their optimism, and be of good
cheer. How much optimism will it
take to to believe there is a Court
House in Buford? We don’t think
it would take many Bell men to
overcrowd that court house.
Brother Hardy, aren’t you a little
out of practice?
HE FLUNKED, OF COURSE.
And so Tommie has refused to
meet Charters in joint debate.
Os course he has. You should
have known it without asking.
Tommie’s claquers said it was be
cause Tommie didn’t want to use
himself to draw a crowd for Char
ters.
Tommie said joint debates engen
dered bitterness —and he wanted no
bitterness.
Now, isn’t that a bitter statement?
Behold Tommie endeavoring to
avoid, bitterness!
You know the reason why Tom
mie doesn't want to meet Charters
face to face before the people.
But Tommie is following Char
ters around whenever possible.
JACK AND TOM.
Now, these two fellows, Slaton
and Hard wick—well, it is about a
standoff with us. And therefore we
are in a position to see things:
straight.
We thought yesterday, after the
speaking, what a beautiful idea it
was— what a beautiful sentiment —
to see the governor of the State and
tin 1 “First lady of the State” stand
ing side by side shaking hands with
the yeomanry. But no one could
get rid of the thought that his |Ex
cellency was running for oilice —and
that night be the cause of it all.
And Hardwick—he tore himself
badly in that Lockridge matter.
And so it goes.
Now. don’t you get it in your head
that we are saying these things in
the interest of anybody.
We are only saying how it looks
to a man up a tree.
Hardman Will Carry the Ninth.
From Atlanta Constitution:
Dr. L. G. Hardman, candidate for
governor, will carry the ninth con
gressional district certainly and very
probably the eighth district also, ac
cording to State Senator John T.
Peyton, of Mt. Airy, hi the thirty
first senatorial district, who was in
Dr. Hardman’s headquarters in the
Kimball house on Monday.
“Dr. Hardman’s chances in my
section of the state are brighter now
i than they ever have been,” he said,
1 Band he is steadily gaining in
strength. There is no doubt that he
will carry all of the eighteen coun
ties in the ninth district, and it
would not at all surprise me if he
carried the eighth district, too.”

Speer is Highly Praised for Efficiency
in Office.
W. J. Speer, State Treasurer and
candidate for re-election, has been
highly commended by the special
committee from the house and sen
ate appointed to make an examina
tion of his books, and to count the
cash in the treasury. An examina
tion of the books of the state treas
urer is re<|uired to be made each
year, but this is the first time it has
been done in some years. The re
port of the committee follows:
“We, the committee required by
law to examine the accounts and
vouchers of the State Treasurer’s
oflice as to all money’s received into
and paid out of the treasury during
the fiscal year, beg leave to make
the following report:
“We have thoroughly examined
the office of the State Treasurer and
find the books and all voucher
neatly and accurately and correctly
kept. We hgve counted the money
on hand and have verified the ac
counts of all State depositories, and
find that they are also correct. We
have carefully examined the report
of the State Treasurer and find tha
he is sustained by the true condition
of his office.
In this connection we desire to
commend the incumbent in office,
the Hon. W. J. Speer, for the effi
cient manner in which he has con
ducted the affairs pertaining to
the treasury.
Respectfully submitted.
