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 Entered at the Sandersville poat- oilice ns Second Class mail mutter The Macon News wonders how Mr. Bryan will feel when he sees some peo ple in the Bryan band wagon feturn home. his will be the next meeting Georgia Weekly Press Help us to secure it. Association. It is gratifying that Mr. Bryan will have easy sailing and without effort or solicitation will be tendered the dem ocratic Nomination for President in 1008. Since the Chautauqua is all over, we pause just long enough to urge the stock holders to meet and reorganize for another year and then go to work for the county fair. Why not re-elect the same Chautau qua officers? The experience these gentlemen have gained will help them to make the next Chautauqua even better than this one. It looks as if Hon. Randolph llearst may win the nomination for Governor of New York. They no longer say Hearst is weak since the race he made for mayor of Greater New York. We congratulate young Mr. Guy Moye, of Oconee, upon his winning one of the speakers’ places at the Georgia Military Academy at Milledgeville, This popular school will close this week. “The Commoner” does not think ft likely that Mr. Taylor, of Indiana, will take advantage of the excursion rates for the home coming week of Ken tuckians to go back to his old Ken tucky home. baseness of the charges against those you know, may be better aide to weigh and judge the character of the same assaults from the same sources upon other officials with whom you are not familiar.” We know Mr. Hill and Mr. Adamson and others included in the wide range if lloke Smith’s attneks, and knowing 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 er public officials stand for re-election or re-appointment, it will be time enough for opponents then to attack them. With the full understanding of what it means to defend a man in a cam paign like this one. who has used We hope that steps may be taken by our Tennille neighbors to organize for | such strong language to a popular can next season’s Chautauqua and when the Fair buildings are completed the com mittee may consolidate and begin the work for the greatest Chautauqua ever.

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 f all other candidates are cordi- 11 y invited for that Russell comes Not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” And we tlmnk these gentlemen or assuring us that we will he wel omed there,—for in spite of our upport for Clark Howell and we xpeet to do all we can for him, wo are right glad to have the op portunity to shake hands with lain Dick Russell for wo sincere ly' admire the man and we would ie glad to see him governor of Georgia at some future time after Clark Howell lmd served tho cus tomary two terms.

Of course there was individual loss, but Where is tho slanderer that told those ugly stories about Judge Russell not being popular at his home and that he would not car ry his own county? Did you read those sixtynine letters from the Winder citizens including Major Strange and other of the most prominent citizens of the town? Everyone of them gave their unqualified endorsement of Judge Russell’s candidacy and all say the idea that he will not carry Jackson, Walton and Gwinnett counties is absurd in the extreme Some say he will have ten to one over anv other candidate. None admit that it will be less than three to one. We want to say that this condi tion of affairs is not confined to Jackson Walton and Gwinnett counties.
