Here Shall the Press the People’s Rights Maintain V JOHN M BROWN. BNINBRIDGE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY NORNINC, JUNE A. IG08. Vol. 39—No. 16—Sl.oo a Year r «* editorial ,4 o Some persons who believe only j There is etill tome unterrified half what they hear perversely in* I capital in Georgia and it is being fiat upon choosing the worst halt, pat to work. Which class are yon in.? Flood, flames and Aim flam polt> tun are eviis from which rnnus sections have suffered. In Georgia flim flam politics has been the worst. jN’o babies have yet been named after Jofe Brown. No mother would be so cruel as to give her pretty boy the name of the railroad candidate. Suppose that for any reason Mr. Bryan should not be a candidate at. the Denver convention, what are these delegates to do who are in- structed to vote for Bryan? From every section come reports af a rapid betterment of industrial conditions. The canse of the de pression which was precipitated last fall upan the country was p re ly artificial, and the people having rallied from the fright then is now everywhere a return to normal con dition. An old negro in Rome died from drinking near beer, and several others barely escaped th-' same late. So it seems that the substitute is more dangerous than 'he real stuff. North Carolina is now dry; other states will follow; civilization has reached the stage that looks with horror on the greatest evidence of human depravity. We are passing to a higher plain. The present gubernatorial contest w ill go down into history as the most uncalled tor and unnecessary one of all previous campaigns in Georgia. We want someoody to tell us aN ter the election how much good it did them to go crazy during the campaign. Did it ever occur to you that when foreign capital comes to Georgia it comes after he best we’ve got? We have never believed that our development, growth and en- ri.'hment depended on foreign cap ital, nor we have been the stickler foreign capital that some of our 'a glibors appear to be. The fore- i_m apital idea has been worked vtr: line. The worst bore ot the campaign is the fellow all the time wanting to b t on something. The prohi ition wave seems to be rolling on. North Carolina has g ne dry by )x>pnlar vote, and the indications are that several other Southern states will shortly follow. Let ’er roll! Th. cotton is blooming an* the month of June wiH be the critical time with the crop. Four weeks of good weather in June and July makes a fairly good cotton crop. Sumatra Leaf Route. Cotton has been bringing 11 cen.s and over this week—more of Hoke Smith’s good work. It he is respon sible for the depression in the cotton market, he must also deserve credit for the rise in price. Isn’t he a won. derfn) man, though? The Johnson workers take it as a good sign tl at Georgia may send an uninstrocted :e,legation to Den ver. Governor Hon.e Smith stands out today as the champion of the peo* pie of Georgia against ling rule and railroad domination. He stands for the disfranchisement ot the negro; he stands tor a government in the interest of the people. He has dealt honestly and fairly w’th the peo;’e and tried fc> redeem every promise he made. The corporations are fighting him because he demanded of them subjection to the la "’8 of the state, and that they Pear their portion of taxation. V I’anline, it is not. strange tint wi ather is growing decidedly warm. Just think <>1 the amount of - iir that is being turned loose bv t e politicians now. Hu- opposition to Hoke Smith be- ooc he has served the first year of his term is no reflection upon his ad- luinist'atioB, eoratng from t esource it does. It is but the history of every official who has the abiliti If the peop'e lose this fight, when will another leader rise up to op>- pose the whiskey combination? Wouldn’t any truly great statesman who should be asked to lead, point to how the peo; le treated Hoke Smith when he gave up the greatest law practice of any lawyer in Geor gia, whipped tin 1 railroad-whiskey ring and made >t possible to the people to get prohibition and every, thing else they wanted, yet was re pudiated in less than one rear after the people’s victory. Most certain ly he would and the governors hereafter woul; be just such men as would before entering the race meet the approval of the railroad' w hi'k. y crowd. There is no doubt that it Gov. Johnson were nominated the e would be greater unity and bar. tnony m the party than there his been in many ye irs. There would be a feeling that the party had a fair chance to win the presidency, 1 and t at alone would arouse tre- ! mendous enthusiasm. Is a ew ays This office has received a copy of the handsome folder issued recently by the Georgia, Florida and Alas bama Railway, giving the details of the Sumatra Leaf Route, extending at present from Cuthbert, Ga., to Carabelle, Fla. The design is par ticularly striking, showing a tobacco leaf, with Columbus, Ga., the ultis mate northern ead of the road, in the stem, and Apalachicola, Fla., which is to be the southern ter minus, at the other end of the leaf. Among the effective illustrations with which this really artistic folder is embelished, are views showing shade tobacco along the line of the Georgia, Florida and Alabama Railway in different stages of growth, and the perfect combination of climate and soil is well illustrated by the remarkably rapid growth of the plant. In this county, through which this road pasees, is located the largest independent tobacco plantation in the world. The head quarters of the G., F. & A. Ry. are here and J. C* O’Dell is general manager. Who'll Pay the Freight There is one question in connect tion with the. gubernatorial cam. paign which is becoming more prominent every day. That ques. tion is: “Who pays the freight?” Who is putting u|> all the money, and why? It is palpably ararent that a great deal of money is being spent by the Joe Brown campaign managers. That he is the railroad candidate is known. Is it not also fair to as sume that the railroads are furnish ing part of the money tor his cam- .paign? And it they do, and Joe Brown should be elected and do for the railroads what they had in mind, and this results in profiling the railroads, out ot whose pockets must come the money to make put-’ ting up money for Joe Brown’s campaign expenses a piofitabie in vestment to the interests that sup plied the cash? When corporations spend money for political purposes it is not done to serve the cause of the people. HERE’S TOOK TICKET. Following is the form of the ticket to be voted for today: x For Governor.

''TENCJ& FRANK PARK * What The ‘Kidneys Do Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us Strong and Healthy All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys filter the blood. They worts night and day. When healthy they removed lbout 560 grains of impure matter dally, when unhealthy some part of this impure matter is left on the blood. This brings on many diseases and symptoms— pain the back, headaches, nerv ousness, hot, dry skin, rheuma tism, gout, gravel, di-ordors of th- eyesight and hearing, dizziness, dropsy, deposits in tne urine,etc, But if you keep the filters right you will eeve no trouble with your kidneys.
