KEEN WRITES •LETTER TO THE JOURNAL Ant Sajs He Thinks Joe Terrell Has Clearly and ForeettUly Stated Where He Stands and What Be Stands For in Ever; Speech'He Has Hade. . v . Id To the Editor of the (journal: k Since the baud wagon crowd have been turned loose in the papers to tell wljat they know about saving the state, 1 ' many of .them are asking what does Mr. Terfell stand for? They have never rend III* speeches They echo Sam Jones, A. M. Williams and J. H. Goss, tneinbers.of an association known as Our, Brothers’ Keepers, and have their little say, like sophomores on the stage. Mr. Terrell, in his Forsyth speech, was explicits In his announcement address he was explicit, and in his Oglethorpe speech he was explicit. He said he was no calamity howler, (rat still was proud of Georgia and Geor gians. . He thought with all of our mis takes the democratic-party was worthy of praise, fie had faith in men like Allen Candler, \V.-A.- Wright and Gen eral Evans, lie had.faith in the people. We have achieved much. Georgia was yet the Empire-state. He wants to see it the Empire State of the Union. Taxation was a practical question. The legislature had todo with this problem. , It was for it to devise means to meet .expenses. The governor could only iadvisp. He favored equalization of •taxes, special.privileges to none. Corp orations should pay their full share of rtaxes and if they ejutled, he would do all in his power to. execute the laws. The law must be made >o os to get at property if such low was not on the statute books. The present laws do not cover the franchises of railroads. And it was in the power of the legislature to Vgmedy this. Much tax money would come into the treasury by such a law. The ohl tax act of ”74 should be feme died and this done would increase our tax receipts. Amend the act of’74. And. tax money should be got from bondholders. And he liked the Alabama law where the constitution fixed a limit to a given rate. We should amend our constitution in this regard and a fixed | limit be established beyond which the legislature cannot go. This of itself , would draw capital to the state and i' build up enterprises. , Terrell said also in his speech, he ‘ favored education. Our common school ; system is not perfect, but needs per- ' footing. Tho towns nnd cities supple ment the amount from the state by ’local taxation, and thus secure long • terms. But tbe terms in the county ■ are too short, and means should be ' devised to lengthen. them. These county schools heed first consideration. Do not destroy them, bat better them. - The pension system should not be destroyed, bat,all abases corrected, The system must live. Needy soldiers should have pensions. As to the' temperance question, he voted for local option—ourpresent law, . and helped to enact it Into layr. It was introduced in-1684 by W. J. Northern, but became law in 1886, and has proven the .wisest solution -of the liquor ques- pvey, jet devised In any state. Manf suites are now favoring itag the best solution yet. Georgia leads in temperance Onr law is better than that of Maine, or Kansas or -Vermont. We get more temperance than they do. Where; the law is so stringent and drastic as to forbid the sale of liquor here. In the. state, forcing die lecesiity of sending out of the '.'.tote, such inconvenience follows that even good people wink. at the violation of the law; so that secret places are pjo- vided and'the cJaodeUine system pre vails which so debauched the morals of Maine and,Kansas. Bat while holding these,vimys rttf willing for all counties ' to ticoihe 4qr on their own vote, If the people "through the legislature differed from hlm. he would set up no stumbling blocks to thwart their will. He is opposed tq anonymous circu lars and misrepresentation. He opposes turning the pnlpit into a political ros trum ;'he regards the kingdom of Christ a spiritual kingdom and opposes secu larization of the churches. To do so fs [was polled, considering the fape a step backward. He stands for good that there two different primaries morals, good citizenship, temperance in its highest form. He declares faith in the old Demqertftic party; does not believe in turning it in^o a chaos of nothings; he believes in Georgia, and wants onr people not to break into fragments, riding a hobby, but be a homogenous people—one in thought and purpose, standing for whatls bestin government; solid for good govern ment, temperance, soberness and truth; solid for law, for order; solid for the principle of home rule, for good society, for virtue, honesty, integrity, solid for NUMBER OF VOTES * POLIED !N DOOLY In County Primary of 1900 Was 1,779— - Hamper by District Given Belov. For .the benefit of our many renders we give below tbe number of votes polled in each district at the county primary in 1900. There was 1,779 votes polled in Dooly for county officers and the primary was held on May and the •primary for state officers was held some time in June. So it will be seen thqt an unusually large vote primaries in 1900. This time however, both state and county officers will be voted for on the same date, Thurs day, Tune 5th. A great many people have ex pressed themselves as not believing that the vole will be as large as it was in 1900, on account of nearly all the farmers being behind with their crops. However, there is a great deal of interest fawing mani- the advancement of our state along all ,e8tet * tbo governors race and lines, for advancement of religion and civilization, keeping the faith of the fathers, fighting a good fight, continu ing in the things whieh are good, and assured of, making fall proof of his faith and works before all the people. Such in brief are Joe Terrell’s views expressed in his speeches- That man displays wonderful ignorance who con tinues to ask: “Where does Terrell stand?” He certainly stands for the removal of ignorance.
