Editor N ugget:
In reply to your views on A1
Smith and democracy, when you
say some democrats will not vote
for Smith for President, and all
democrats should support him. Al
so that the wise men were sent to
the convention and selected A1
Smith as nominee, wish to say in
.reply, as a voter of Lumpkin
that your seemingly wise and
saintly advice does not by any
means express the views and wish
es of the people of the south, and
also the views of Lumpkin coun
ty. Of course many people all
over the co. probably overlook the
fact that your knowledge ami ex
perience on the record of Smith,
and the many evils that is stand
ing behind him with financial
power to overthrow True Jefferso
nian I)emecracy in the South will
look with pity rather than envy,
upon you on your short fighted-
ncss in this matter, but bare in
mind when you wish to advise
your neighbors what to do when
the ballot box is before them and
they have a democratic right giv
en them under our constitution to
vote as they please then beware of
your own office when you go be
fore them again for a living.
1 have always voted the demo
cratic ticket, and I am now- 52
years old. But since Party is now-
being put before Principal I want
the world tb know I* atfi voting
principal first.
You also mention W.D. Upshaw
as an ass, that has always made
himself, one when he got a chance,
there \ wish to call your attention
to the fact that this does not sound
Well in the ears of the people and?
again shows your knowledge of
True Americanism, as Bill l p-
shaw has always stood for True
Democracy and right.

We have space this week for Mr.

in that section, went oil with his
hooks, line and bait to fish some.
And that was the last seen of the
boy. Being reported that Smith
j told later on that he had
received a letter from the missing
one claimed to be in another state
making-money and had bought an
auto, when the poor ignorant boy
was not bright enough to run a
car, aroused suspicion when these
bones were found. Coupled with
another report that J. H. Turner,
who preaches some times, had
trouble with young Walden some
months ago, and heard to say, ac
cording to the report, that he was
going to kill him. Turner livid
on the farm last year where ti e
one whose tones were found had
either been killed or died a natural
death, and moved some five or six
miles away without gathering the
corn on this creek. Saturday af
ternoon Corner Head beiug ab
sent Squire Lovelace went out to
hol'd an inquest, accompanied by
Dr. Cantrell, the Sheritl, Deputy

held open and the boues brought

charged with manufacturing li
quor, who was held, and luruer
was arrested and lodged in jail, to
have a commital trial Wednesday.
