ONCE SAY FRIENDS.
Nominations May Be
Made Same Day Bill
is Voted on.
SANDERSVILLE, GEORGIA, AUGUST 21, 1908.
VOLUME LXVIII. No. 14
Opponents of the city court bill
and of the plan of electing the
Judge and Solicitor of the city
court by the people aro likely to
lmve another lesson in politics so
they say though they feel confidant
the Executive Committee will not
endorse the plan.
The bill to bo voted on in the
October general election loaves it
for the people to say whether they
wish to elect the officers‘and many
citizens nre opposed to tho plan
for the reason that they do not
wish any of the officers involved in
heated political contests and deem
it unwise for the county to hold
such elections.
Some friends of the bill aro now
urging that the bill and the can
didates 1)0 voted on ut the same
time, thus having the nominating
primary at the same time the peo
ple vote to say whether they
want to have one or not, and this
question will bo left to the execu
tive committee. If they endorse
tho plnn, ono object of the Com
promise hill will lie defeated.
If the committee decides to
hold the piimary on tho same day
a separate ballot box fer
white voters will be provided
to vote on the candidates and all
tin* voters will vote on the bill.
Then* is a strong sentiment in
favor of a w hite primary on the
ratification of the bill and the
committee may lie asked to con
sider this question at the same
time.
YANCY CARTER WILL
OPPOSE LITTLE JOE.
Willing to Qo Down Under
Cards, He Wants to
Debate.
W . h ancey Carter is a candi
date for governor against Joseph
M. Hrown, having accepted the
nomination of the Independence
league and will stump tho state
He also wants to engage the
democratic candidate in a talking
match, but this will likely not
happen. It is said, however,
that Little Jae will not treat tho
race as a joke and will use his pen
in the campaign.
Opposition will add interest to
tho October election and no doubt
bring out many democratic voters
who might otherwise feel little
interest.

Hon. I. W. Newman, who is
now away on his annual vacation
at the East, is expected to return
on Sunday.
Mr. Newman is regarded by
many, who are familar with mat*
ters of tlmsort, as being perhaps
the most progressive and well
informed on methods for handling
county affairs of anyone in the
state, by his high efficiency, his
many fine traits of character and
his constant attitude of friendli
ness toward everyone, he has won
for himself a position in the es
teem of the people next to that
of his distinguished father, the
late ajor M. Newman, whose
mantle has already to a great ex
tent fallen upon his shoulders.
Hon. bay Newman deserves es
pecial commendation for his very
able management of his uncle’s
affairs, both of a business and
official nature, when the latter is
away from home; his manners
and methods displaying those well
known qualities characteristic
of the entire Newnan family

Mr. G. H. Howard, whom The
Herald reported in its Inst issue
would consider being an appli
cant for Judge of tho city court,
has handed us the following card
for publication. It seems that
any effort to settle the matter
a by a bar meeting was not. satis
factory all round and Mr. Howard
does not desire to be considered
an applicant, whether Governor
brown makes the appointment or
not. His card follows
To the public:
Very reluctantly 1 allowed a
consideration of my name ns a
candidate for Judge of the city
court to friends who asked me to
run and then upon ono condition
only and tlmt was that a majority
of tho members of the bar would
not be against me. Since then,
though given this assurance,
find that it would bo unwise for
me to have the position even if I
could be elected, or appointed by
the Governor, ^specially under
the conditions imposed by the
campaign in either case.
I thank ihe several members of
the bar who have voluntarily as
sured me of their support, ns
woll as the citizens who have of
fered to support me without soli
citation.
If 1 desired the place more than
I do, 1 would give up the idea of
runing less reluctantly, because if
the proposed bill is ratified, the act
is so drawn ns to require sacrifice
in practice during a whole year
for one may run and lie successful,
a sacrifice which I am unable to
make. It would be unwise for me
to run under that plan, even if
elected a year before my duties be
gan, because the knowledge of my
election a year before the term
commenced would naturally lose
me some clients and some patron
age. besides, I realize with no
relative in the county, nopolitica
pull and no special claim on any
voter the race for me would he a
difficult one and hope of election
would involve mo in a most un
pleasant campaign.
Permit me to assure the people
of this county that 1 was led to
consider being a candidate, nut
because tjie present incumbent
lias failed to make an upright and
satisfactory judge, but for other
reasons and considerations which
it would be improper to set forth
in this withdrawal card. Let it
suffice to say that my race would
have been no attack on his admin
istration as an officer. 1 had an
idea that three years might lie
considered a sufficient length of
time for one to hold the office, be
cause I believed the public looked
upon it as 0110 which should be
given, not for gam, but the ex
perience and the honor the tem
porary holding of it would give
the incumbent.
1 desire to take advantage of
this opportunity to say that 1
have always openly and on every
appropriate occasion by word a-nd
pen, opposed the election of any
Judge by the people unless a sys
tem of rotation be provided and
my experience as solicitor and the
political enemies made solely he
cause 1 endeavored to do my duty
to rich/ond poor when I held this
j office, have strengthened this con
viction. Since there is 110 possi
bility of mv candidacy now, in
any event. I will not be charged
! with self interest or selfish motive
whop I ask the people and parti
cularly the poor people and those
who have no interest in politics
never to endorse the bill proposed

cun well afford to vote for it. but
in my humble judgement, its a
dangerous plan for tlie poor citiz
en without influence. You may
not always have the same high
class of officers that now serve
you. I am not ashamed to op
pose it. My experience of eleven
years at the liar has shown me
nothing to alter my convictions
in this matter and 1 lmve met few
lawyers and Judges out of politics
who favored the plan and they
have experience and observed
the matter closely.
To those who had the friend
ship and the will to pledge me
their support, let me offer again
my sincere and heartfelt thanks.
I have never sought to be popular
and realize that it is not in my
nature to make friends quickly.
That I have some true ones lias
been shown by the mention of my
name for Jiulgo and men who are
friends, not for what I have or
the kmspeople or interest that
I could influence. After all,
there are no real friends except
those who appreciate us for what
we aro. I have endeavored to be
true to my friends, to attend to
my own duties and there are none
to whom I have dor.0 an injury in
tentionally. It is no doubt bet
ter for me to try to continue to
keep up this record and improve
upon it, stay out of polities for
my own account, avoid the chance
of getting beat in any effort to
g C ,t elected, try to know my friends
and be ignorant of my enemies
and devote my attention to my
family und my business.
Very Sincerely,
Gus. H. Howaud.
