Water Tank Falls
To the Ground.
The water tank which supplies
water for the large boilers of
Lang’s Variety Works in this city
collapsed Wednesday afternoon
about half past one o’clock, and
fell to the groufid with a crash
heard several blocks away.
The tank was filled with water
at the time it hursted and a small
sized flood was let loose back of
the shop.
A negro workman who was near
by got a good drenching but was
too far away to be hurt by the fall.
No Anonymous
Articles Printed.
Thk Herald finds it again nec
essary to remind its readers that
it will not print unsigned articles
in this paper. Very recently The
Herald received an article com
plimentary to Tiie Herald and
endorsing our editorial on Mr.
Wright’s candidacy and commend
ing this paper for taking a broader
view of politics than being against
everybody who opposed the poli
legislative candidates.
That portion of the article com
plimentary to The Herald and
Mr. Wright was pleasing to us, ^
but we cannot violate the long ^j ie Macon Telegraph
established rule and the article
goes to the waste basket.
The laboring people of Georgia
"ill crucify Hoke 8inith by their
votes on June 4th.—Athens Ban
ner.
The seepnd term precedent need
not enter into the gubernatorial
race nt all. The custom is little
more than a fancy—it is not bind
ing in nny office whatever.—Shell-
man Sun.
W hat has Governor Smith done
for Georgia? Crippled prosperity.
Ho pulled the wool over many
people’s eyes during the last cam
paign, but lie can’t do it any
more.—Dahlonega Nugget.
They have commenced the poll
of the trains, and the result in
almost every instance seems to be
favorable to Joe Brown. If Gov
ernor Smith thinks that lie has a
walk-over, he will make the mis
take of his life.—Dublin Courier-
Dispatch.
We nre sorry the ardent sup
porters of Gov. Smith have begun
that old cry of “ring” and “gang”
and “corporation marplots” and
dozens of other foolish expres
sions. Give the other fellow
credit for being ns honest ih his
convictions as you think you are.
—Dublin Times.
Candidate Brown says lie will
not make any rejoinder to the
Marietta man who said unkind
things about him in an Atlanta
paper last Sunday. He declares
tliut he will not inject any per
sonalities into the campaign. If
he will stick to this it will make
him many friends if not votes.
The people of Georgia have hud
more than a plenty of personal
politics.—Columbus Ledger.
If the remaining portions of the
state give Joe Brown as many
votes relatively as this sectiort will
give him, then the sweep of Geor
gia for the gentleman from Cobb
county will be complete. This
section of the state is for Brown.
No one need doubt this statement
a moment, if he will take the
trouble to canvass a little in the
counties in this section. The
people arc speaking out and they
arc speaking in no uncertain
terms.—Athens Banner.
Indications are that the second
term precedent is' not going to
have much weight in the present
campaign. But as it was intend
ed to hold good only where the
incumbent made good, there is no
good reason for not setting it
aside this time.—Hawkinsville
Dispatch.
This is exactly the position tak
en by the Times-Recorder and a
number of other Georgia papers.
'I’he idea that when a man is
elected governor of Georgia for
two years he is entitled to another
two years by courtesy, no matter
whether he is satisfactory to the
people or not, is too absurd to
seriously contemplate.—Americas
Times-Recorder.
The Thomasville Press has dis
covered that Hoke Smith stock is
on the decline among the farmers
of Georgia. And the Thomasville
Press was formerly a reform pa-

A wiregrass paper intimates that
possibly Mr. Watson might be
able to induce Joe Brown to tell
what was in that unopened letter.
