WARNER HILL’S REPLY.
Emboldened by the applause of his
friends and inspired by the faith lie has
in the doctrine that the end ot being
elected governor justifies the means,
which was riot only inscribed upon the
banner under which he spoke at Fitz
gerald, but which is inscribed upon the
banner he has carried from the begin
ning, Candidate Moke Smith has seen
lit to go out of his way to attack many
men in Georgia, including among many
others mentioned by name, Hon. Hi
ram Warner Hill, chairman of Geor
gia’s railroad commission and, in the
opinion of the writer, one of the purest
and best men, as well as one of the
ablest men that Georgia ever honored
with high position. We have been
surprised that Mr. Hill has remained
silent so long under the insinuations
of Hoke Smith and have wondered how
he refrained from giving expression to
his feeling under these taunts. We
have no fear but that Mr. Hill will con
tinue to be, what we are sure he has
always been, a true man and an honor
able public servant. We see no reason
for Mr. Smith’s attacks upon Mr. Hill.
He continued to make them, not by
specilic charges but by insinuations of
dishonesty in the administration of iiis
oilice by favoring railroads against the
people and being in the control of rail
road iniluenecs, and other insinuations
which are the most cowardly forms of
attack.
Mr Hill has replied at Inst and his
reply is in that open, bold and unmis
takable language which is characteris
tic of the man.
Maddened, justly, by these long con-
Our hopes are high that Sandersville I tiuued attacks which even the patience
place of the and long suffering of Mr. Hill could
no longer endure, he writes and pub
lishes a card in which he says that Mr.
Smith knowingly, wilfully, maliciously
and falsely slandered him and denoun
cing Mr. Smith on this account a bold
slanderer, falsifier and hypocrite. To
those who know Mr. Hill (and we have
known him some years ) his burning
words seem well timed and worthy the
consideration of all. It is just such
attacks as these, attacks upon Mr. Hill
and men well known to Congressman
Adamson (and Mr. Hill has been his
friend for many years) that prompted
Mr. Adamson to say in a speech at
Warm Springs upon the state cam
paign.
When unfaithful demagogues and
detestible apostates, whom honest
democrats should hate and shun indis-
riminately slander all democratic of
licials, you. knowing the falseness and

It is gratifying that Mr. Bryan will

Since the Chautauqua is all over, we
pause just long enough to urge the

Why not re-elect the same Chautau

gentlemen have gained will help them
to make the next Chautauqua even
better than this one.

We know Mr. Hill and Mr. Adamson

them, we feel that it is time they and
the people call a halt upon a candidate
for governor, whose chief business and
concern is to go about the state at
tacking public men not in the race for
governor and who are making good
officials.
We believe it is high time the people
>f Georgia had a rest from a denuncia
tion of everybody. Let the candidate
who wants to abuse and attack the
character and records of others, at
least coniine those attneks to other
candidates for governor and when oth

enough for opponents then to attack
them.

ABOUT RUSSELL’S SPEECH.
The date for “plain” Dick Rus
h’s visit, to Washington county,
has been fixed for July Iff, at the
Chalker annual picnic and he will
probably speak in Sandersville
the day following. At Chalker
lie has the support of the gallant
old picnicker and prominent citi
zen Hon. Alfred Harrison and
many other prominent citizens
ho have asked The Herald to
give notice of the fact that Judge
Russell will speak there on thut
date and assuring us that we, as
ell as all others who may wish
to go, will be cordially and gladly
oleomed. Mr. Harrison himself
the proud father of a large and
excellent family, among them,
by the way, are seven voters, all
for Russell, thinks that a majori
ty of the people will yet become
nthusiastic over what the Atlan
ta News calls the “vision they
have of his election ns governor
and the dress parade he proposes
to pull off' on Peachtree street ns
he marches into The Mansion with
is gingham aproned battalion of
mng Russellers.” Mr. Harrison
thinks that Georgia will not suf-
r from a governor who can live
n the Governor’s Mansion with
hirteen children playing in the
root yard with jeans pants and
ickory shirts and ginghams
prons on and says that he feels
sure that plain Dick Russell will
get an ovation at Chalker as well
as at Sandersville.
We think wo shall attend the
Chalker picnic. Even if we are
or Howell for governor, the Rus
sell ites have assured us that we
hull have the same old Chalker
welcome and that is good enough
for us and they say that friends

I think it proper at this time to an
nounce the fact that I will be a candi

Circuit. For eight years I served the
people of the Circuit as Solicitor Gen
eral, endeavoring at all times to dis
charge the duties of that office, wi»
fairness, impartiality and courtesy
Upon the promotion of Judge Evans to
the bench of the Supreme Court, I was
an unopposed candidate before the
people for the judgeship to fill out his
unexpired term of two years. My u-
nanimo-us election to this office neces
sitated a cemplete nbandoment of my
law practice. I submit that I am
fairly entitled to at least a full term
if, in your judgement, I have made an
efficient and impartial judge. On that
subject, of course, I can say nothing in
my own behalf except that I have la
bored earnestly in presiding over your
courts to do so impartially and to ren
der efficient service to the people.
Whether I have succeeded or not, oth
ers must say. If so, I am fairly en
titled to an endorsement of my admin
istration and of my record.
