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.

VOLUME LXVIII. P R I C E S TAX VALLES INCREASE IN SISTER CITY. Two Hundred Thousand Dollar Increase Over the Last Year. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE IN SESSION TODAY. Much Speculation as What Will be Done This Time. to After the Tax Assessors had made a canvas and completed their work of equalizing the taxes atTennille last week, it. was as certained that, lax values had in- crensed^aliout two hundred thous and dollars over the past year and when the full report was gone over at the meeting of the mayor and With the strong probability of Little Joe Brown's election ns gov ernor and with a “leader” of the cause on 1 a strong supporter of 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 - | ter to The Journal as follows: “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. If a bill affecting tin* prohibition law were passed by the legislature —requiring n majority vote—and a governor .should veto it, a two- DRY GOODS AND NOTIONS quintal it is said that Mayor thirds vote ot the legislature Franklin iwid the city fathers all could pass it over his head—so, by 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 hsh out of it, no doubt. wore smiles that wont rub off. 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. HON. A.R. WRIGHT WILL DELIVER THE ADDRESS, Interesting Memorial Pro= gram to be Carried Out at Tennille. CO all the law and the prophets, pro hibition should not be kicked around in the campaign ureiia. It is too much like joining the church for business reasons. Be,careful ot your representa tives and senators if you wish the prohibition law to have a lair •*trv out.” When leaders like Judge Freeman and Judge Coving- Ion rush into print, they show in discretion 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.
