EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
TO BE CHOSEN JUNE 4.
Suggestion From County
Chairman as to Man
ner of Electing.
Mr. Editor:
Under the rules of the county
executive committee, the execu
tive committee for tho next two
years will he elected l>y the peo
ple in the primary, June 4th.
Twenty-one members of this
committee are to be elected, one
from each militia district in the
county.
There will be a blank space at
the toot of tho ticket, and the
voter can write in this blank the
name of any citizen of the partic
ular militia district for whom he
desires to vote for executive com
mitteeman from such district for
the ensuing two years.
By electing the executive com
mittee in this manner the people
keep in their hands the machinery
of the d.mocratic party, and it is
important that the voters of the
county select good men to serve
on the executive committee^
I wish to suggest that it would
bo exceedingly desirable for the
citizens of each militia district to
got together as it were, on two or
three good men so as to save the
time of the managers in counting
the ballots. If voters ballot in
discriminately and vote for any
and everybody without any con
cert, it will take an unusually
long time to count the votes. It
will save the managers of the
primary election time and labor
if there ure only one, two or thn e
candidates, but it every man in
the district gets a vote, or if there
are a great many candidates in
each district voted for, it will
result in a great deal of time and
trouble upon the election mana
gers. 1 make this suggestion also
for the reason that candidates
and the public are anxious to
know the result of an election as
early as possible, and if the plan
outlined above is not pursued, it
may be that it will be tho next
day after t lie election is held be
fore the result is known.

VOLUME LXVIII. No. 8
HARRISON HAS A
LARGE CLUB LIST.
Little Joe Strong Through
out That Section of
the County.
Mr. \\ . H. Barksdale, secretary
of the Brown club at Harrison, in
this county, lias forwarded u list
of one hundred and two names
from Harrison and vicinity who
are signed members of the club.
It is estimated by Hon. A. W.
J- Wood at Harrison, that in the
five districts in that section of the
county, Brown’s majority will he
large. That (Harrison district is
safely in tho Brown column is ad
mitted us it is also conceded that
he will get a safe majority in that
section.
With the exception of the 90th
and SKtli districts, that section of
the county is perhaps strongest
for Brown of any.

Lightning Strikes
Richbonrg Residence.
Tuesday afternoon lightning
struck the Riehbourg residence on
^mibli street, shattering the stove
Hue but doing no other damage.
There was considerable excite
ment in the home and in that
vicinity, as it was at first feared
Hie building was on fire, but the
fears were soon quieted.
Ice Plant Barn is
Destroyed by Storm.
The barn at the ice plant was
destroyed last Monday night by a
wind storm, it having literally
been lifted from the pillars and
thrown over the fence. Two
horses in the barn, by some mir
acle, were not injured.
While the wind was high in the
city and pretty strong, its greatest
force seemed to be about the pow
er house and in the vicinity of
the ice plant.
Col. J. C. Harman
Replies to Inquiries.
In answer to the questions pro
pounded to me in your last issue
I have to say : ,
To the first and third I answer
yes. I favored the present law
(Approved Aug. 8rd, 1904) at the
time it was made an issue before
the people, and I still favor it, as
in my opinion it is the most
equitable and just manner of
working our roads, also of dis
bursing the monies derived from
commutation taxes. I ndor this
system 110 favoritism can be shown
any particular section. Election
by the people, in each road dis
trict, enables the selection of a
man who knows the needs of his
district, and being directly ac
countable to his constituents, will
not be apt to be derelict in duty.
He stands in the same relation to
the people as any other elective
officer.
To the second I answer that I
do not favor a change of the law,
as already stated.
Fourth, I was not in favor of
the “bill” sent to the legislature.
To the contrary I did all I could
to prevent a change in the law by
petition and otherwise.

son for Coroner.
Tim summer cold yields to
Cherry Balsam.
In the last of the many state
ments made by tho Honorable
Hoke in reference to that famous
telegram, we understood him to
say that his true position—sifted
down and with all the chuff out—
is that lie favors ‘‘light wines and
beer” for other states.
Well, now, if it is a good thing
to have light wines and beer, why
shouldn’t dear old Georgia have
some?
But if it is a bad thing to have
light wines and beer, why give it
to the ‘‘other states?” We don’t
like this new variety of temper
ance sauce which is not as good for
the gander as it is for the goose.
The somewhat excited Atlanta
Journal exclaims tjiat Little Joe
has made live different platfenns
on the prohibition question.
Yet none of the five seems to
favor the use of light wines and
beer. Not even ‘‘for other states.”
The big cities having refused to
close such establishments as the
Piedmont bar, the small counties,
acting through the legislature,
did it for them.
Apparently the big counties are
getting ready to hit back. When
the new rule of the new commit
tee goes into effect it will lie pos
sible to elect a governor who will
exert all of his power to restore
former conditions, thus leaving
the small counties ‘‘dry” and the
big cities “wet.”
Our handsome, eloquent and
beloved ’friend, Seaborn Wright,
fancied that he had something to
say upon the gubernatorial race,
and he began ft double-column
performance in the Atlanta Jour
nal. By the time he reached the
bottom of the page he suddenly
discovered that he hadn’t said
anything; so he got disheartened
and quit.
What was it that you started
out to say, Seab?
As to that violation of the law
in the making of such a I ig de
posit in the Neal bank, the ques
tion remains:
Did Governor Smith act in wil
ful disregard of the law, or was
he ignorant yf the statute which
limits a deposit of state funds, in
any one bank, to $100,000?
At tho time he renewed the
50,000 dollur note which tho state
owed the bank, the bank owed the
state more than twice that sum.
Tho state deposit was already il
legal. By renewing the note and
thus adding to the deposit Gover
nor Smith became a party to this
violation of the law.
Why did he do this?
Was it done wilfully, or through
ignorance?
The chairman of the railroad
commission being laid up with the
rheumatism, and the other four
members being sufferers, appar
ently, from locomotor-ataxia, why
shouldn’t Judge Hines go abroad
making speeches?
The enlarged and high-priced
commission doesn’t at present
need lawyers; what it wants is a
medical staff.
The announcement is made that
our governor will continue to
rampage around on the stump
from now until June 4; and that
Judge Hines is going to rush out
and say it again, and that Con
gressman Hardwick is going to
tear himself away from his post
of duty in Washington and come
all the way to Georgia to tell us
poor, ignorant creatures how we
must vote for governor.
What an awful agony we’re in,,
to be sure 1
Why so much stump speaking
I beg to call tho attention of
the friends and supporters of Jo
seph M. Brown, candidate for
governor, to Paragraph 15 in the
rules for the state primary of
1908, which reads as follows:
“The county democratic execu
tive committees in appointing the
managers and clerks for said dem
ocratic primaries herein provided
for. shall select the same at least
ten days before the first primary,
and as far as practicable in select
ing such managers and clerks,
give representation to contesting
candidates.”
The “paragraph above quoted is
self explanatory. This rule, in
selecting malingers and clerks to
give representation to contesting
candidates, should and does com
mend itself to the friends and
supporters of both candidates for
governor.
I desire to call attention to it
in order that the friends of Mr.
Brown lie fully advised as to their
rights and to suggest that in cVery
county they take proper steps to
secure representation on the board
of managers at every precinct in
the state. ,T. R. Smith,
Campaign Manager.
