IS OllT OF THE RACE.
W eek. At the beginning of the
second day only about sixty-five
names were secured, some of them
Iteine from Tennilh
points.
This greatly encouraged the
Itrow:: supporters and taking u<!-
vantage of the situation a fiw of
them got busy and on the morn
ing of the second day the Brown
\\M showed eighty-nine names,
mid has been continually growing
since. Mr. A. S. Clmmlee, a
former Smith supporter, circu
lated I he Brown list in the city.
Many voters have not yet been
seen who are known, to be for
Brown.
Mr, Chamlee ■ stated that the
Brown club would be a county
organization und all who are in
terested in Little Joe’s candidacy
should send their names with au
thority to Mr. Clmmlee to enter
them on t he roll.
A permanent organization will
be made later and officers elected.
The Brown supporters are greatly
encouraged over the situation in
Himdersville.
Last Wednesday morning the
body of Mr. John B. Wilkerson, n
highly respected citizen of this
county, was laid to rest, in the
family burial ground on the Irwin
place at Wilkerson’s Crossing.
About a year ago Mr. Wilkerson
moved to Tennessee and for a
while lie greatly improved, hut a
short while ago began to decline
and no came home some time ago
and continually grew worse until
mid other i his death.
| He was one of the best of citi
zens, a true gentleman of the
highest class and a worthy Chris
tian. He was one of the best
farmers our county has had. Kor
many years and until li is death
he was a leading member of the
Christian church.

Governor Smith’s already con
ceding the governor’s defeat, pro
hibitionists will probably sit up
and take notice of the following
sensible extracts from a letter
published last Friday in the At
lanta Georgian signed by Mr. F.
L. Seelv, editor and addressed to
I)r. W. P. Lovejoy, «9 follows:
Now, we are talking plainly and
unbnsedlv, doctor, and this is no
time to mince words—there is too
much at stake. So, there is some
danger that Mr. Brown mav be
elected governor of Georgia—in
fact, no less an authority than
Judge Covington, whose letter
The Atlanta Journal is boasting
of its indorsement, of Mr. Smith,
wrote me four days before his let -

“Really, Mr. Brown has Mr.
I Smith beaten at this moment.”
Prohibition should not be the
issue of tin 1 campaign—especially
the campaign for the governor
ship. It was fought out and won
by t,he representative of’ he people
who carried it through our legis
lature, and the governor frankly
and honestly told us he was not
in favor of it, hut would sign it.

The state democratic executive
committee is in session today,
pursuant to a call of the chair
man. There is much speculation
as to what will In* done and tin
inemhi r-t hemselves are perhaps
not aware of t he purpose of the
call. The meeting is an unusual
ami extraordinary one as the rules
have already boon adopted and
the primary sot. Many counties
have a'ready acted adopting the
rules and selecting the same date
to avoid two separate elections.
It lias been frequently intimated
and is probably true that some
members arc anxious to do some
thing to renig from their scheme
to give entire political control in
Georgia to the governor, substi
tuting one man power for alleged
ring rule and if they can get a
majority of the committee to con
sent, after consultation, the date
"f the primary may be postponed,
or the majority rule changed back
to the county convention plan.
There are many politicians on
tin* committee, however, and these
may balk at any open scheme to
give Governor Smith a chance of
re-election at the last moment
and when the people can see the
real reason for the hurry call for
another meeeting.
That the reform committee
sought to llimflum the people and
build up a powerful political ring
with the governor as the Czar and
Master, seems plainly evident and
many of them would like to craw

It is a fine showing for the city
of Teunille and indicates not only
that tin* town is steadily and rap
idly growing hut is a convincing
argument that the people there
have confidence in the future of
this splendid little city.

Hollifield Goodman is out of
the race for Tax Receiver and
furnishes the following statement.
To my friends:
In considerntion of the grocery
trade of the other fifteen candi
dates for Tax Receiver, I have
agreed to retire from the race and
give the others a chance. 1 saw
they were trying to defeat me and
each one get elected and I decided
it would pay me better to have
the trade than the office because
my retirement will make each one
of the other candidates my life
time customer.
1 am retiring in no ones inte
rest as they ail know, because I
like each one of t he others. In
fact, I think more of them than
I ever did.
Some few of them have not
traded with me much m the past,
but they realize they have lost
money by it and though 1 do not
wish it. understood by other
grocerymen that the other candi
dates agreed to trade with me,
still I am convinced that they are
men of judgement and will do
business where they can save
money, especially those fourteen
who spend so much time trying
to get. the office and fail. They
will need to economize and do
business on business principles.
] wish I was able to give every
man who promised to vote for me
a years supply of rations. 1 love
everyone of them, but. while I
can't, do that. 1 will sell them
goods so cheap and treat, tin m mi
good at my store, they will never
regret it.
Here's hoping the best, man will
win and that tin* whole business
mav feel good after the election.
Sincerely Yours,
Hoi.i.ifiki.d Goodman.

Mr. Tatom Thinks North
Georgia Is Very Strong
For “Little Joe.”
Making Whiskers Grow
Where None Were Before
Good humored friends of the
popular solicitor of the City Court
of Sandersville are still twitting
him about attempting to grow a
beard in the “Little Joe” style,
but it is not seriously thought
that he is attempting to get on
the band wagon. However, he
seems lonesome.
Mr. N. L. Tatom is in Sanders-
villo shaking hands with friends
and of course they are all glad to
see him.
-Naturally, many of Mr. Tatum’s
friends have inquired about the
Governor’s race in several North
Georgia counties where he is fa
miliar with the sentiment and to
him it looks like Little Joe will
receive large majorities. Indeed,
Mr. Tatom says it is altogether a
one sided affair in that section
and that it doesn’t take a trained
politician to see that the people
Judge Jordan of the City Court
lias issued an order that no couit
be held on the Fourth Monday on
account of the memorial exercises.
The order excuses all parties and
jurors until Tuesday. The order
in full is as follows :
The April term of the City
court of Sandersville convening on
the fourth Monday in April will
be adjourned over until Tuesday
morning, April 28th, v half past
eight o’clock.
This will be done to allow all
parties who may have business in
this court, to attend memorin: ex
ercises in Sandersville or Tennille
held on that day. All parties,
jurors, and witnesses are excused
until Tuesday morning at half
past eight o’clock. All civil cases
triable at the April term will be
assigned for trial. The assign
ment of these cases with dates will
be published in the Hkbald and
Progress next week. This is done
to afford parties and witnesses as
little inconvenience as possible.
This the 15th day of April. 191)8.
E. W. Jordan,
Judge City Court of Sandersville.
Jt is believed bp those who have
the matter in charge that tin* lar
gest. crowd ever assembled in Sun-
dersville on Memorial day will be
present next. Monday, barring bad
weather and tin* exercises will no
doubt be more interesting than
they have ever been. A splendid
program lias been arranged.
The feature of the occasion will
be the memorial address by Pre
siding Justice B. D. Evans of the
Supreme Court of Georgia, the
most distinguished liv.ng son of
this city, a most eloquent, speaker
and a man of whom all our peo
pie are proud.
The City Court, Public Offices,
Stores and School will be closed
during the- exercises.
