VIENNA, GEORGIA, MAY 11, 1900.
THE RACE FOR GOVERNOR.
The present campaign in Georgia for governor
baa proven to be a very interesting one in many
way*.
Just at the present time the Hon. Hoke Smith
seems to be the man that is Attracting the most
attention. And why shoul'tu't he. From the
very first he has proceeded to cuss out everything
and everybody that did not get on his band wagon
and take a merry ride to destruction, as he is now
going at a very fast trot, but has only himrfelf and
the Atlanta Journal to blame for his almost
certain defeat.
Instead of running on his merits, Mr. Smith
seems to prefer the clap-trap methods of several
of his predecessors, whose only hope of a follow
ing was to sound a war cry and then point to
themselves as the only man that could save the
state and its people.
Possibly one of the biggest blunders Mr. Smith
end his organ has made was when they acoused
Clark Howell as beingthe ring candidate and that
1 be other four had no hope of being nominated
and were only running in the interest of Clark,
the ring and the railroads. Those who have kept
posted on the affairs of the present campaign
know this is not true, for is it not reasonable to
suppose that the other five are as honest and as
truthful sb Mr. Smith?
Judge Russell was mentioned as a probable
candidate for governor long before the Hon. Hoke
ever showed any symptons of a “divine call.”
This being a free country he hss as much right to
run for governor as Mr. Smith or anyone else, and
if reports are true he is gaining about as fast as
Hoke is losing, and I tell you, "that’s losing
some.”
Next there is Farmer Smith who wants to be
governor, and who came very near entering the,
race four years ago, but waited to be opposed and
abused by bis “dear cousin Hoke,” the naughty
kinsman.
And next we find Col. Estill wanting to be
governor. Beiug the only man from South
Georgia who has dared to run for governor in
many years, we are unable to believe that he is
ruuning in anybody’s interest but his own. Hoke
has doubtless forgotten that Estill was a candidate
four years ago aud ran second in a three-cornered
race. Aud it is also remembered that the oue
who raised the biggest racket is the one that ran
list in this campaign. It has been understood
all along that Col. Estill would again be a candi
date for governor.
And the last man to enter the race was Rev. G.
A. Nunnnlly, and those that know him are satis
fied that he is running in his own interest and
mot in the interest of Clark Howell. Those that
tare.howling for reform and think that Georgia
needs reforming, they should climb on the band
wagon of Dr. Nnnnally, as he is truly aud rightly
the reform candidate.
To an unprejudiced mind, every man in' the
race bos as much right to be governor as the Hon.
Hoke Smith has. And if he had not accused them
all of running in the interest of the railroads, the
ring and Clark Howell, not one of them would
(save made a fight against Smith, but in justice to
thorn solves they had to fight back. I am glad
they are fighting him, and trust they will keep
fighting him. Ho is a big, bold and bad man,
he eats '’•em alive, he’s dangerous, fight him early,
often and late. And it is getting time for the
democrats of Georgia who are loyal te their party
to commence fighting him.
Will close for this time by quoting a good piece
of advice often used as copy by beginners while
learning to operate a typewriter: “Now is the
time for am. good men to come to the aid of
their party.
Who am I? Why I am WAT.,
The Self-constituted Chairman of the Dooly
Countv Democratic Club.
The weather for the past few days is not calcu
lated to make an ice dealer smile. But, cheer upl
May-be it will turn hot, and May-be not.
The thought that “no one cares and no one
knows” blights many a bud of promise. Be it the
young artist at the easel, the workman at his
bench, the boy at his mathematical problems or
your little girl at the piano, give what praise you
can at all times.
The Atlanta Georgian, Atlanta’s new afternoon
daily with Col. John Templo Graves as editor, is
now being sought after by thousands of Georgians
and is coming to the front ns no other paper ever
did. The people are with yon Col. Graves, stand
by thorn as you have done in the past, und your
influence for right will be greater than if you hud
been elected United States Senator.
Have you been watching the line-up? Here is
the latest line-up of the candidates for governor:
Hoke Smith, the people’s candidate; Clark
Howell, the democratic candidate; Col. Estill,
the South Georgia candidate; Judge Russell, the
plain people’s candidate; Jim Srftith, the farmer’s
candidate; Dr. Nunnally, the reform candidate.
Pay your money and take your choice.
ESTILL’S DEMONSTRATION.
Col. Morgan’s address was the most eloquent
appeal that we have ever heasd delivered to a
Bulloch county crowd. His eloquence and logic
swayed the great crowd who faced him, and in a
manner that showed that the Estill movement was
something to deal with in Bulloch. At the con
clusion of his address there was such cheering and
enthusiam as has never marked such an occasion
before. Men rushed over each other to shake the
hiflid of Col. Estill and Col. Morgan and assured
him that old Bulloch would again be found true
to him ns in the past.
The hour for opening court having already
arrived, Judge Rawlings was in the stand vainly
rapping for order, but for fifteen minutes the
demonstration continued and the judge, failing
in bringing the house to order, sat and smiled at
the scene being enacted before him. It looked
like a pity to break it up—even if he could.—

Prove Every Claim we Make
For These Clothes.
Some folks think, or seem to think,
that our claim for the Clothing we sell

our enthusiuui to lead us into ex
aggeration.
They haven’t seen the clothes for
themselves. Whi n they do, they will
know' that we haven’t “stretched the
truth.” They’ll realize that we haven’t
even praised these splendid garments as
much as they deserve.
