Georgia towns generally realize the importance of manufacturing. Dawson will soon have a $100, 000 cotton factory all home capital. Griffin already has three or four factories and another is soon to be erected.

And yetNew- lian is oneofthedryeetof the “dry” eities.—Newnan News Foley's Kidney Cure makes kidneys and bladder right sometimes as much as half. Now, Mr. Editor the purpose of your answer is to endeavor to poison the minds of some people who will not have the opportunity of finding out the truth of the matter before the palmar/, and influence them to vote against Sheriff Sheppard to succeed himself. VVhut Sheriff in Dooly county ever received a per cent of the advertising fee from a paper published in Vienna? What Sheriff ever received half of the advertising fee from a paper pub lished in Vienna? Mr. Editor—Didn't you go to Sheriff Sheppard when you first heard that he was going to change the legal advertising from your paper to the News and ask him how much money or what it would take to influence him not to change them? Mr. Edjtor: It has been our in tention to let everything pass off without any newspaper controver sy, but you have been, misrepre- ting the facts connected with the Sheriff that we demand the proof of in an open manner. We have nothing to say ugainst any candi date, and we will not allow you to suy and publish what is false just beet use you ore “puffed up” about losing the legal advertisements. Futhermore, any mun who says that n money consideration obtain ed from the Sheriff the change of the legal advertisements from the Progress to the News is either do ing so to try to influence votes to turn ugainst the good old Sheriff of Dooly county or he is just simply lying. Mr. Editor: You are telling peo ple, on the sly, that you heard that the News gave Sheriff Sheppard $350 to chunge the advertisements. This is a lie and you cun not trace it back to anything else. Mr. Editor: The old adage "He who laughs last laughs best” can be appropriately applied to your case at present. Didn't you boast lust summer, just before and after the News whs launched, that it wouldn’t live three months? Didn’t you inquire of certain people, when you hud the legal advertisements, and say to them that you did not understand how we were running or making a living? Didn't you comment further in a boasting spirit that the county was feeding you? Neither the News nor the people object to you supposing the can didate of your choice, provided you do so m an open and legitimate manner. But we do object and will expose every stab you give any candidate in the back. Mr. Editor; Didn’t you do everything in your power to get Sheriff Sheppard to nume a certain time when he would change the ad vertisements back to the Progress, that if he would do so you would not fight him in his race tor re-elec tion? Mr. Editor: When you said it was a “glance of the eagle eye of your candidiute” that detected the filing of the cage of John Henry Peavy, after the sawing had been going on for three weeks; if you wtere not doing this to misrepresent Sheriff' Sheppard in order to elect ; on his cage, 1 who was asked to tell the Sheriff about it on Friday be fore it wus detected on Tuesday morning? Mr. Editor; You tried to leave the impression in your paper of the 1st. inst. that Sheriff Sheppard d.dn’t give John Henry Peavy a chance to make as long a statement as he wanted to, saying that he only spokte eight minutes and that it was then 12:30 o’clock and that the law allowed him until two o’clock. This is not true and the records in the Clerk’s office will bear out what I have to say on the subject. In the first place the sen tence is for him to hung between the hours ot 12 and 1 o’clock, and not 2 o’clock ns you would have the people believe. In the second place the Sheriff did not tell John Henry that he could not talk any longer, but told him that his time was about up and that lie could have prayer and sing a song, John Henry then finished telling what he was talking about and proceed ed to sing u song and have pray er. He did not even show any sign whatever that he wanted to talk any more. Besides he was on the stand more than twenty minutes had elapsed since the drop fell. These are facts thut can be substantiated by a dozen or more prominent citizens who were pres ent nt the execution. The first means that you employed to injure Sheppard was the local that ap peared in your pifper insinuating that according to the tales told by some ot the negroes around Pine- liurst, that John Henry’s body was not cold when it urrived there and remained so for some time after,' and furthermore .that they were nbout to make up a purse to have him brought bacx to life. But you didn't 6top at that. You were passed by unnoticed us you should have been, and the next time you started your information culunin you asked questions under the name of “Voter” and answering them in language similar to the questions, relative to the hanging of John Henry Peavy and the conduct and manner of the Sheriff in perform ing certain duties in his office. Since you hnve pitched your sup port of your choice in such a man ner, it becomes necessary for the News to ask some questions for you to unswer in an open manner with the proof to back them ud. This we want you to do and we dont want you to wait until it is too late to be answered and the people given the "whole truth aud noth ing but the truth." The people of Dooly county know Sheriff Sheppard too well to believe any insinuation tint the Ed itor of the Progress might make against him and when the. votes are counted out on the night of the 5th. day ot June we feel cer tain that the people of the great State of Dooly will sit flat down on the unjust and unfair methods that the Progress has seen fit to employ against Sheriff Sheppard.
