KEEP COOL. DON'T GET MAD.
With Hon. Hoke Smith with ua today and Hon.
Clark Howell to be with ua Thursday, it ia only
natural to suppose that the followers of these two
men will become more active than in the past,
and the rivally that already exists will doubtless
grow warmer and the arguments more heated.
But friends, keep cool I The weather is too
warm and life is too short to get mad. Keep cool
under any and all circumstances. Be sensible and
broad-minded enough to give the other fellow the
same'privilege you enjoy—the right to vote and
work for whom you please. The neighbor and
friend differing with you now as to who is the
beBt man for governor, love you far better than
either one of the candidates for this office. You
work and talk for your candidate, joke when you
want to and allow the other fellow the samegradd
privilege you enjoy, and when you get.so full you
can’t talk, just sit down and write something for
publication; if it is not too long we will gladly
publish it for you. But above all, keep cool and
don’t get “hot in the collar.”
We should remember that after all we are just
a band of brothers here on earth, travelling tram
the cradle to the grave. We live side by side, our
children attend the same school and aftor the
smoke of the battle has oleared,away, we will still
be friends and neighbors.
Let the bitter things go unsaid.
At best, life is short, and we get out of it a full
measure of sorrow. Let us in our little city aud
county live as one big, good natured family.
Here’s hoping that the Americus ball team will

It seems that the month of May has entered

Hoke was here today aud Clark will be here
Thursday. So near and yet so far.
Because a man is not a good public speaker or

If the reformers and prohibitionists practiced

Col. Estill is alright, and when he plainly sees
a mistake he oorreots it. Col. Tom Morgan, of

The long aud sweet tete-a-tetes over the tele
phone line from Vienna to Cordele are now a
thing of the past, the .two telephone company’s
operating this line having adopted the three-
minute rulo. This will be a sad blow to some of
the love-sick lasses and beaus, but the man who
has business to transact will welcome this new
and needed rule.
The recently adjourned Ohio legislature passed
some very needed reforms for that state. One
good thing was the abolition of the fee system for
county officials, and placing them all on a salary.
Another was the reduction of passenger charges
on railroads from three to two cents per mile, and
last but not least was the raising «f the liquor
license to $1,000 a year, which will put thousands
saloons out of existence in that state.
It is Time to Call a Halt.
Will the good old democratic party of the state
follow Hoke Smith, Tom Watson and'the Atlanta
Journal in their attempt to wreck the party?
Not hardly. Neither do the safe, sane and
sound democrats of the state approve the course
of the Journal in allowing any and everybody the
privilige of its columns to cuss out the democratic
party just so long as something is said favorable
to the Hon. Hoke.
A little over a year ago the Journal and Hoke
were busily engaged in.deuonncing Tom Watson
and the populists of the state. But that was
before Hoke received his “divine call.” Since
Hoke has commenced running for governor he has
apoligized to Tom for all the nanghty things he
ever said about Tommie and his party, and Tom
gladly accepted the apology as Tommie doubtless
thought he saw a fine opportunity to secure aid in
wrecking the party that he hates with a hate that
knows no bounds. The Atlanta Journal now freely
allows Tom or any of his followers, as much space
‘ in its paper as they drsire, and in that space they
are allowed to give vent to their feelings and say
whatever they wish about the democratic party
or any of the candidates for governor except the
“divine” Hoke, who has willingly allowed himself
to be used as a tool by the worst enemy the dem
ocratic party has ever had. We do not blame
Watson for taking advantage of the situation to
seek revenge. But we are unable to see how a
self-respecting democratic newspaper can allow
its columns to be used by an enemy to denounce
democrats and their party..
In a recent issue of the Journal it allowed Tom
to relieve his feelings considerably by giving him
space in which to denounce Mr. Howell,, a man
who' has always stood by the democratic party.
The following is a sample of the “beautiful”
language that only Tommie W. can use:
“Caught in one falsehood, he flees to another;
run out of that, he takes shelter in a third.
The man's tnlnd seems tube a howling wilder
ness of deceit and prevarication. He cares no
more for truth than a billy-goat does for mod
esty. He fattens on slander as the Mangrove
thrives on muck. He would rather deceive by
mis-statement than to convince by reason;
and his Ideal of a fair fight is to stick a pois
oned knife Into your back, and then run.’’
The Journal not only sanctions suoh uncalled
for language, but is as equally as bitter toward
Mr. Howell and the democratic party. In not
replying to Mr. Watson, Howell again showed his
sound sense, and thereby made him hundreds of
frieuds in every county in the state.
But then the Journal is not the only supposed
to be democratic paper that allows its paper to
be used by enemies of the party. As a sample we
give spaoe to two paragraphs taken from a card
in the Atlanta Georgian and signed by J. \V. T.
Jones, of Talbotton, Ga:
“In all candor, let me say that I. and doubt
less thousands of other Georgians, believe that
Clark Howell and the political machine and
edrporate gang for which he stands, are re
sponsible For the action of that committee. A
more cowardly and infamous piece of political
rascality has not been perpetrated In Georgia
since the days reconstruction, with the possible
exception or counting Judge Hines out of the
governorship to which he was elected and Mr.
Watson twice out of congress, to which he was
elected."
“It may not be pertinent, but It Is true, that
every candidate in the gubernatorial race,
exoept one, is wittingly or unwittingly running
In the Interest of Georgia's political machine
and corporation robber gang."
What would this populist have thought if a
domoorat had arose in one of their meetings held
several years ago; aud told them that this should
be adopted, and this man should be uominated as
all the balance were not honest. No attention
would have given him, for he would not have.
deserved any. \
All honor and praise to the members of the
democratic state executive committee who could
not be deceived into following the dictation of
Tom Watson as given by the Journal aud Hoke
Smith, and many other sore-head and disgruntled
politicians.
The pledge the committee adopted is an insult
to uo one who is faithful and loyal to the demo
cratic party. Neither is it an insult to the large
number of populists of the state who desire to
again enter the democratic party and support the
nominees.
But it was a death-knell to the Hon. Hoke,
whose only desire is to be governor of Georgia.
Daily seeing his chances grow slimmer, we are
are not at all surprised in knowing that his war
cry grows louder and more distressingly. And-if
Hoke is not too mad already to see what a trap
Tommie set for him aud the democratic party, he
will easily see it aftor the primary.
% We are proud to know that hundreds of good
democrats ovor the state have turned against him
and are now doing all in their power to defeat
him. They have seen through the whole plot and
have halted, and it is time for Hoke to halt, and
made to realise that this is a democratic primary
called for democrats only, aud those wjio will
support the nominees, to choose officers to be
voted on at the coming state election. And if
Mr. Smith is afraid to trust his chances with the
democrats, lef him do the proper thing and come
out of the race.
