HOLDS SMITH LIABLE.

IN THAT SECTION.
WATSON ADMITS SOME
MEN NOT HANDSOME.
In the issue of tin* Union News,
the official organ of the Fanners
Union, President Duckworth ex
plains at length the famous free
pass order granted to immigra
tion agents. We give below liis
card in which lie holds t lie gover
nor responsible:
“To the Public: Chairman Mc
Lendon's reply to my complaint
that the administration was being
used toward the promotion of
immigration in positive antagon
ism to the views of the farmers
and the laboring men of this
Btate, is not satisfactory. It will
be observed that tins department
of the state administration de
fends rather than withdraws its
objectionable order, and the only
point that he seeks to explain is
that the governor is not respon
sible for the orders of the com
mission.
“In view of Governor Smith’s
well known attitude, proclaimed
everywhere by hint that lie would
incontinently fire any member of
the railroad commission who dis
agreed with his views in the mat
ters of the administration of that
department, it will not do for
Governor Smith to seek to escape
responsibility in this manner.
“Governor Smith put the peo
ple on notice that ho primarily
would he responsible for the or
ders of th ) railroad commission,
and, as this nefarious and dis
criminating order is so closely in
keeping with the governor’s views
on the immigration question, as
formally announced by him upon
his return from Europe, where he
Thirty-six names already in
band and with tbe report that
these were gotten from forty odd
voters approached and that others
are coming later for the Joe
Brown club is the encouraging
news from Oconee, in this county.
Among these names are some
who formerly supported Governor
Smith, and it is said on good au
thority that the governor’s vote
will fall far behind his Jvote in
the formci race in that section of
the county.
Goats! Goats!

Sandersville, Ga.,
went to inaugurate the work
which the people of Georgia kill
ed last year, lie must assume that
responsibility.
“The farmers and tho laboring
men of Georgia are not in the
humor to be trifled with in this
matter. We aro not, and will
not be, in politics, but we have
well defined views on economic
problems, and there is nothing
that we more emphatically con
demn than the effort to commit
the state administration through
any of its departments to a prop
osition that means reduced wages
to laboring men and low prices
for cotton.

It has been prescribed by physicians in this

Tlu» lloke Smith committee bus line!
its special meeting and, having safely
reached the top of the hill, slid down
ugnin. In other words, if it. was called
together for any serious pui pose, some
body changed somebody’s mind, and
the thing intended was not done. To
say that Lawton Miller called the
whole committee together to settle a
local dispute in Glynn county, deceives
nobody.
When Chairman Miller issued his call
there is no doubt that the intention
was to postpone the early primary, so
ns to make the date conform to Hoke
Smith’s campaign pledges. Also, to
make a change in the recent revolu
tionary ruling of the committee which
almost obliterates the small counties.
But underground operations have
been going on, and tbe reform commit
tee was con. incod that it bad better
let King Rule proceed to its end.
Therefore, the committee having
marched up to Atlanta,solemnly agon
ized over'the ailments of Glynn, and
then marched away again.
We hope that Glynn now feels better.
We Wonder whether Hoke Smith is
really making many voters by ridicul
ing Joe Brown’s personal appearance
and denouncing bis father. We doubt
it. Few men antagonized the late Jo
seph E. Brown more bitterly than did
this writer, but we should consider it
unfair to attack the son because of the
public record of the father, just ns we
think it unfair for any opponent of
Hoke Smith to make capital out of the
fact that Hoke Smith’s father is u New
Englander.
Why drag the old folks into the
scrimmage? Why not 4et old Mr.
Brown and old Mr. Smith rest in peace?
A very serious blunder, perhaps, is
Hoke’s constant nagging at "Little
Joe” about his personal appearance.
How can any man help his looks? We
can’t all be magnificent specimens of
manly grace and beauty as Hoke is,
however much we’d like to be. Com
paratively few are so opulently endow
ed with the fascinations of Apollo Bel-
videre—as is our gigantic Hoke. Most
mortals must of necessity worry along
with such mugs and figures ns. the
Good God chose to give us. Some of us
are only middlin’, when it comes to
looks, anil some of us are real homely,
and some of us are as ugly as the
devil.
Now when Hoke, a resplendent type
of the human form divine, towers be
fore an audience and Says, in effect:
“Look at me. and you will then un
derstand why, if you saw Joe Brown,
you would not vote for him—”
He makes u thrust that isn’t fair and
which may prove hurtful to himself.
‘Little Alec” Stephens wasn’t much
to look at; nor was Jefferson Davis;
nor "Little Joe” Wheeler.
Is it true, ns stated iu the Georgian,
that the Atlanta Journal, Hoke’s or
gan, refused to publish "Little Joe’s”
statement to the people of Georgia,
until he agreed to pay about $120 for it?
If so, it is but another proof of the
fact that unfair methods always hurt
those who use them. Having published
Hoke’s announcement free, the Journal
should have published Brown’s free.
The people of Georgia love u fair
fight, and they generally sympathize
with the man who is not given an
equal showing.
The Jeffersonian practices what it
preaches, and when Livingston’s
friends asked us to publish a statement
giving their side of the Fairborn inci
dent, we did so, promptly and uncon
ditionally.
Yet we honestly believe it to be a
calamity to Georgia that the Atlanta
district is represented in congress by
such a man ns we know Livingston
to be.
Judge Hines, attorney to our enlarg.
ed anil high-priced railroad commis
sion. has been out on tbe stump making
speeches for our absentee governor.
The judge is a mighty good lawyer,
and knows how to make a goou speech
on a mighty poor case.
Here is a conundrum :
I low many months during the year
could we afford to leave the oliice of
governor without a tenant?
1 lere’s another:
If the state really needs no more of
the governor’s time than it is now get
ting, why should it pay for more?
And here’s one more:
If Governor Smith wasn’t sincere in
that matter of the early primary, why
did he make such positive promises
about it in the last campaign; and if
he was sincere, why did he Hop?
To Hon. S. G. McLendon:
Now, Guy t, you sit still; Don’t you
hurst into oratory, too.
You really must stav in your office
anil figure out, once more, that saving
of 500,000 bales of cotton that the peo
ple were going to get when me and
you and lloke whipped the Old Gang.
The way you figured it all out was
real beautiful, Mac. and you must do
it again.
All we expect, now, is the figures.
During our glorious campaign of 1906
we did expect to get at least a part of
the cotton. Ain’t expectin’ of that now.
Will be thankful just to see the figures
once more, before we die.
Is it true that President Finley and
Barbour Thompson, of the Southern
railroad, had a secret conference with
Governor Smith and Guyt McLendon
in the Majestic Hotel a few nights ago?
We are so informed. Night meetings,
in private rooms, between railroad
magnates and high state officers are
very interesting things.
\\ ould it be impertinent to inquire
of the governor anil of Guyt what was
"the object of the meeting?”
Take a seat, Guyt, and tell us all
about it.
For a man who doesn’t do any public
talking himself, "Little Joe” has a
wonderful talent for making the other
fellows spout.
Not only has lie got Hoke going at a
forty-knot pressure, but there’s Hoop
er Alexander ami Judge IJinescharging
around. Rube Arnold is said to be
refreshing his memory by glancing at
his 1906 speeches, and Hon. Tom Hard
wick is mentioned for speaker’s place.

forte consists not so much in dancing
myself as in making others dance,” so
"Little Joe,” who meekly admits that
lie is no speaker, is a marvelous incen
tive to the volubility of others.
Our brilliant, eloquent and beloved
frieiul. Seaborn Wright, speaking in
ilappylanta, exclaimed:
"Watch the line-up.”
That’s what we’re doing. Seaborn—
anil we’re getting powerfully mixed
and bewildered.
Overon Little Joe’s side we see Joe
Terrell and John Little anil some oth
ers. Overon Hoke’s side we see Slick
Thompson, George Gober, Boykin
Wright, Joe Sid Turner and Obe
Stevens and some others. It’s a very
interesting line-up, Seal).
Seeing this campaign as we do, and
remembering all the broken pledges of
the last, we are, as yet, for neither
candidate.
If Pope Brown or Seal) Wright takes
the field, off goes our coat, and we light
for him to the finish.—Watson’s Jef-

PROTECTION
Among the visitors to the city the
past week, none were more cordially
greeted than was Mr. V. L. Stanley
managing editor of the Dublin Courier
Dispatch. Mr. Stanley is always a wel
come visitor and has many friends here 1
Indeed the better part of him came
from Washington County which no
doubt accounts for most of his good
qualities and our people are always
interested in him on that account as
well as for his own sake.
First we heard of Joe Brown’s enn-
didacy for governor it was a joke ; then
it followed that it was the disgruntled
Georgia politicians; now it is a gigan
tic conspiracy of the railroad and
whiskey interests from Maine to the
Rio Grande, with the biggest corrup
tion fund in the history of politics,
backed by the entire republican party,
to keep the negro from being disfran
chised in Georgia! Surely, this little
old joke has grown with amazing
rapidity, and many believe it will
develop into a sweeping victory for
Joe Brown at the polls on June 4.—
