The late Sam Jones created an
axiom when he said: Ihe hit d<>g

plank.
Yes, Gertrude, the Brown wave
is quite warm, but not likely to
blight the cotton crop.
Whs it the picture of Tom Mat
son behind Luckworth's challenge
which kept Ifi>ke silent.
Joe Brown has explained his at
titude toward the prohibition bill
to the entire satisfaction of the
friends of the measure. Of course
this does not include The Atlanta
Journal.
The Sundersville Herald says,
“Joe Brown’s opposition is making
a Ldter governor of Hoke Smith
already." Probably the governor
has a substitute in charge. Hoke
seems to have pressing personal en
gagements which require all of his
attention at present.
Ordinary .1. X. Boas showed up in
Winder Wednesday with a copy of
Tom Watson's Jeffersonian in his
pocket. He made slight apology
stating that in former years he felt
that Watson literature might he
classed with deceptive sheets, hut
i>w he can say with others “the
end justifies the means."
“Joe {frown's oldest son was not
in the lemon-handing at Marietta.

leged public servant. The first essen
tial of state administration is that
each suliordinate department snail
be in entire sympaty with the ex
ecutive head. It is unthinkable
that a man so radically opposed to
the views held by myself on public
issues as Mr. Br-iwu, should remain
in office. I would be derelict in my

Ami he did!
W'Ti lie now remove what, v-r
railroad commissioner it was so
“out of sympathy with my views"
to authorizing fr<‘e transportation
to an immigration dgi nt, or was the
governor only “playing policies"
with trie farmers of Georgia when
he dropped his pet scheme to bring
alien laborers to Georgia to compete
with local labor and cheapen the
price of cotton?
The whole thing liears every evi
dence of a scheme to deceive and
hoodwink the farmers of Georgia.
It was political treachery of the
worst sort.
Will he “summarily” remove
whoever it was on the commission
that was so afraid of the light of
day on the immigration issue that
Iritis lonely exception to the anti
pass law was not made public until
nearly a month after its occurance?
—and then, only after its discovery
by outsiders!
If the governor knew about the
order, and he declares the first duty
of an executive is to he in perfect
touch with his departments, then
he is in sympathy with a plan to
promote in secret a movement he
lias ceased to advocate in public.
If he iliil not know about the or

immigration, then his cwurse to
the insubordinate commissioner is
plain.
Let’s see if another head will fid

PRESS COMMENT ON
RACE FOR GOVERNOR
In 1 1 is opening speech nt Madison
two years ago (iovernor Hoke Smith
said he was in favor of squeezing
out capital. lie has made good in
that respect.—Sylvania Herald.
One Hoke organette remarks that
Hoke hasn't done any more than
he promised. Tom Watson comes
mighty near proving that he hasn't
done anything he promised. —Nash -
ville Herald.
The Atlanta .Journal'* cartoon,
dragging Col. Janies M. Smith from
private life and representing him
as ‘‘Buster Brown’s" dog, "Tigc,"
in this tight for the governorship,
is Inith unjust and uncalled for.
Besides its mighty poor political
policy. —The Madison Advertiser.
An Atlanta man said he was sit
ing in a street car on the day Brown
announced and remarked. W hat
a joke." A friend sitting beside
him said, “If you think so,poll the
ear." He did so and found he was
the only Smith man on it. —Dublin
Courier Dispatch.
The saving that wise men change
their minds is a very time one. Dur
ing the last campaign (iovernor
Smith was for reform, hut when he
got in office he touched the wrong
button. He was for foreign immi
gration, no exceptions whatever*
Now lie wants only rich immigrants,
lb-stood for local option. But la
favors prohibition at this time* He
stated that the pensions of old sol
diers could only lie paid quarterly.
But as soon as little Joe announced
the governor ordered the second
payment to Ik- made at once. —

paign.—Fitzgerald Enterprise.
Hoke says he voted the dry ticket
in 18(Sd. That was when the
“drys” were on top and won out
in Atlanta. In 1887, when the
tide turned, all of the evidence
goes to show that IToke was true to
his nature and turned with it. He
voted “wet’, that year. —

(iovernor Smith is only paving
the way to give every old soldier in
the states a good pension. Note our
statements, you old soldiers whom
they sought to deceive recently.
Hoke is your best friend. We know
whereof we speak. —The Yidalia
Advance.
Because the railroads have !cen
so influential that the piesent ad
ministration has not entirely suc
ceeded in making the railroads Con
form in every respect, to the wished
of the people, is pool* reason why
the job should he turned over to a
man who has spent a life working
for and viewing issues from the
viewpoint of the railroads. —Butts
County ITogcss.
A man, who can’t take care of
his own money, is a poor fellow to
1m- in charge of somebody else s
money. Joe Brown is said to have
been turned <%t of tin- management
of his'father’s estate, by his own
brothers and sisters, hi-cause he had
squandered large quantities of tlu-ir
money. Who wants him in charge
of four or five millions of the state’s
fund? Bless your soul, the veterans
will do well to get any pension at>
all, if Joe Brown is elected governor.
