Flnehurst, Ga., April 21,1002.
I find some fanners whooping up
Terrell for governor of Georgia. I can’t
see for ttye life of me why they do it, as
Mr. Terrell is the very man that said
the farmers should pay taxes on their
fertilizers when it was no law. Why
did he tax fertilizers? Was it not be
cause he krtew the laboring man would
just submit to it. Why didn’t he try
somdncorporatiou instead of labor?
He was simply afraid they would kick.
It seems to me that tho manufacturers
are the ones that should pay the tax on
their goods.
Then there is no reason why the snine
article should be taxed twice. - It seems
to me tlint labor is taxed for about as
much hs they cun stand. Why does
such men os Mr. Terrell want to crush
labor, ns the whole world depends upon
labor for u living. It is not right for
men to do so just to hold office. Trusts
of nil descriptions have been putting,
just such men in office as they wanted
ever since the civil war, and what have
they done to protect the laboring man.
What privilege has a laboring man,
only to pay his taxes—that he has got
to do if it takes the last crumb he has
in the world. Now, you all know these
are facts. Why can’t labor unite os all
other classes do?
Just let a man come front an adjoin
ing state and ask for office and he gets
it of course. The same way by
preacher. Have we been benefltted?
I say no! Men ought to poBt them
selves and be governed by their own
Don’t depend on what
others say; be your own judge. To do
that you have got to post yourself.
Don’t rely too much on your preacher.
Read the Bible and judge for yourself.
Success to the News; let it go Into
every family In our county.

a great many other counties are being
