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. PINEHILL DOTS The farmers are all very busy planting their crops this nice spring^ weather.
