.Imself formally as a candidate for
io office of Governor of Georgia.
,t has been understood for some time
bat he would do so. He made a
preliminary announcement several
weeks ago and followed this up yes-
rdsy v.ith a document announcing
.he principles upon which he will
make his race. The presentation of
,-.-ard, and by no means disappoint
ing to tho friends of the candidate,
in Abe beginning be recites the* un
doubted debt that Georgia owes to
Democracy. ■
He defends the white primary sys
tem as It now stands. "Let well
alone,” he says. He points
. the alleged disfranchisement
plank would' necessarily, for the sake
of legality, be based on an educa
tional qualification and says: "It will
mean an Increase of'negro votes over
the votes of the Illiterate white men,
or else will mean the Inauguration of
a system of Illegal evasion that will
be fraught with danger to the state.
More than that it will mean the
actual disfranchisement of thousands
of white me in Georgia and especially
of men In the country communities,
whore oducaiiottal. advantages have
not been to great as (n the cities."
The Times-Enterprlse heartily agrees
with Mr. Howell's position on the
disfranchisement question.
tn the matter of freight rates, Mr.
Howell points out that a reduction of
rates this year amounting to a sav
ing of one iqjllfon per annum to the
shippers has already been made. Ha
punctiires certain other arguments
by calling attention to the fact that
Interstate rates are beyond the con
trol of the Btate commission. He ad
vocates the enlargement of the pow
ers of the interstate commerce com-
mission to a full control of Interstate
rates. He, favors the election of
railroad commissioners by the peo
ple. In thlB regard his position Is
Identical with that of, Mr. Hoke
Smith. A significant paragraph
states: "I advocate the adoption ol
law prohibiting the Issue of tree
ves the Messenger great pleas
ure to quote the following coming
as It does from the Times-Enterprlse:
"The Cairo Messenger Is a paper
that deserves the support of the peo
ple of Grady county. It fought tooth
and nail for the establishing of the
county and did it without- remunera
tion while many other papers publish
ed In prospective county sites, drew
fat fees'-froffi the executive commit
tees. The Messenger fell out wRh
Its best friends. Including this paper
on account of Its. partisanship for
Grady! Tho folks of the newjcom-
monwealth ought to stand right at
Editor Wind's back."
We wish, however, to disabuse the
minds of the editors of that worthy
paper of the misapprehension that
we fell out with them during the cam
palgn for the new county. True,
the light waxed warm, but In (land
ing up for the interest of our-consti
tuents, we did not deny other jour
nals the same right. . We grant that
It was the duty of the Tlmes-Enter-
prlse to take the position that It did,
If the wishes and interests of the
majority of Ita constituents were sup
ported thereby; and since we came
out victorious at this end of the line
In that we got what we went after,
we certainly are not in a bad humor,
nor do we hold aught against any
taper that opposed us.—Cairo Mes
senger. *

Before me came B. H. Wright,
cashier of the Bank of Thomasville,
who being duly sworn, says that the
above and foregoing statement is a
the circus. He say. that he realizes true condltloil of sald bank . „ ehown
that he 1. taking an unpopular stand by tll , bookg of Bn|d bank
on this matter. In this connection I ’
wo are reminded of a story told by
the Waycross Herald. A negro
preacher stated that he would turn
out of the church every member
who attended the circus. Uppn inves
tigation he found that If he carried
out his threat the remaining member
ship wduld consist of himself and an
old crippled woman who could not

corporations or public utilities to all| that overpowers religious scruples,
public officials, - whether Uglslatlve,
judicial or executive^’
makes a brief statement of his
position on corporations. He Is op
posed to any discriminate against
Georgia concerns and In fa^or o( for
eign capital. He Is equally opposed
to any course of action that will de
ter foreign capital from seeking In
vestment. here.
He makes reference to the common
schools, stands for their advancement
and'for the prompt payment off their
teachers. He favors the mainten
ance of a liberal pension policy,
does not fall to mmr some hot shot
Into the eauscleassttacks that have
been made upon present and' past
state administrations. He remarks:
To the extent of my ability I shall
contend that the fair people of Geor
gia are )iot responsible’ for, nor re
sponsive to, these protests of pess
imism, these cries of corruption, these
clamors for confiscation.” ,
In closing ho makes reference to
his record of twenty years before
the people tn public life. He states
truly that none of the principles he
advocates are of sudden growth but
are consistent with this past record.
Is a fact worthy of comment that
even In the heat of the campaign to
date this record has not been suc
cessfully attacked.
Taken as a whole the platform Is
decided, manly and one that wilt win
votes tor tho man who will make
the race upon Ita principles.
Tho editor of the Cordele Rambler
thlnhB that as a rule blind tigers arc
a half starved set, who resort'to law
lessness to get something to cat.
Then as an exception, Thomasvllle's
blind tiger keepers are tat and sasay,
and resort to lawlessness to make a
fortune. They hnd a bushel basket
full of dollar hills to pay their fines
at the last session of court. A little
work on the streets Is more than apt
to reduce both avoirdupois and san-
ciness,-however.
Well, there are arrests made al
most dally by brave young policemen,
the cases are pushed by a brave young
solicitor, and the editors are not
afraid to print the newt and give
their opinion of It. How Is Mint for
nerve. i 1
Those brave young men of Thom
asville who tinted on tjie organiza
tion of the law and order league have
the opportunity to show their nerve.
