We call on the wool hat hoys of one country county .at least to rise up in their might and lead us hack into tile paths of our fathers by standing by the principles enunci ated by the constitution of our state and registering a vigorous protest against the snap judgment taken by the executive committee, which judgement discriminates against the rural districts of Geor gia. Register! Register! Register! Everybody register, and let us have a full vote, a free ballot and a fair count. AKL THLY FOOLS? We have been taught to believe that men wlm traflie in whisky are influenced and controlled by the devil. We have often been told that the devil is a smooth, shrewd proposition. Y*t, if earn paign literature which is being sent broadcast over the state claiming that Joe Brown is the candidate of the Whisky League be true, the members of the league are simple tons and his Satanic Majesty is a sniffing fool. The only hope that anti-prohibi tionists could have of regaining Georgia is by taking advantage of the majority vote rule of the Hoke Smith executive committee which places the city counties in control of the polities of the state and prac tically disfranchises the prohibition countr.v counties. Where did prohibition first ap pear in (ieorgia? In the country counties. Where did whisky make its last stand? In the city, counties, and it was legislated out of them by lcpre sentatives of the country counties. Which counties are most likely to want whisky in (leorgia? Why, the large cities, and under the ruling of the executive com mittee the’combined vote of ten of these counties would defeat the will of the combined country counties. Why should the -‘whisky ring” support Joe Brown-Jlor the irrele vant other of governor when there ■is such a gap in the breastworks surrounding prohibit ion ? And then, again, Joe Brown has been a prohibitionist all of his life, while Hoke Smith is a recent con vert. Statistic- tall us that most people an Cviuv ; ted while young, and somehow \\v never took much stock in death-led repentance. % T in* people want a return to sane policies, and when tlrry have suc ceeded in returning to tlic unit rule y the election of Joe Brown a> governor the "ivldsky ring,’* as well as the “ride or ruin’’ ring will ha\ lost an excellent chance to •lounne.t'* (ieorgia political affairs.

All others will have no voice, it matters not what you think, you have but little op portunity of making yourself heard or felt.

Reagan, editor in charge of the Memorial edition of The Henry County Weekly, regard ing the reason for its appearance, and the results she hopes to accom plish, says: “Our courage in sending it forth into a world blessed with the labors of editors of far superior skill and experience is horn of our sacred purpose, which is two-fold: The direct end sought is the raising of funds for rearing on the public square of our town a fitting monu ment to our Confederate soldeirs; but, as equally important, we are here attempting to contribute our mite to the collection an preserva tion of the materials for a truthful history of the Civil War. So that our children and our children’s children shall not, at some future day, behold before their eyes the enigma of speaking marble and si lent history, the monumental shaft commemorating their sire's heroic deeds, of which no records exist and there is no history. “And our beloved organization, the Fnitod I>a lighters of the Confedera cy, are much concerned about this work of preserving the true facts of our glorious history and teaching them to our children. But the Daughters cannot collect and pre serve these facts without the co-op eration of the participants in those stirring events. In this county, and doubtless in every county of our beloved Southland, aj;e men and women now living, whose memories of those times are worthy of being recorded in permanent form. They are fast passing to that land where the recorder of liuiman annals can not follow them. “Why cap not the Chapters in ev ery county issue such a memorial edition of tlieir county paper..each year, publishing especially local his tory and recollections of citizens who lived in those trying times? Let us cneoiiragi the old “rebel” who loves to tell of his adventures, let us coax into talk the reticent, and by our deeds show to the last Confederates whose presence still blesses us like a benediction, that tlieir deeds shall not be forgotten, nor their motives misunderstood. “We dread the dangers of indif ference here. It is a tale of horror, ; ’tis true, and a noble woman who endured those terrible days says: “ ‘We p ess our Freest against a thorn when we ’eoall the anguish of those days of death and disaster. It is often said that it is still too early to write the the Civ 1 War. It will soon be too late. Some of us still live who saw those days. We should not shrink from recording what we know to be true. Tims only will a full history of American courage and fidelity he preserved —for all were Americans.’ “Our own lamented Gordon en tertained fears on this line, and in one of his addresses thus vividly voices them: “ “ricere is danger that the South may be inadequately represented, or wholly misrepresented, in the future history of this country. Mis representation threatens the con quered always—the conqueror never. In the average estimation of man kind, victory vindicates, while de feat dooms to mi-judgment and thoughtless condemnation. There is in this truth a philosophy as plain and profound as the laws of human nature, involving consequences so calamitous that every lover of his people should unite to avert them. Should such misfortune befall us, it requires no prophet to foretell the character and extent of those con sequences. First, there would fol low a decrease of (an- appreciation of this section ar.d of its people; second, as an inevitable consequnee, a diminution of our self-respect; next, gradual, hut thje certain re trogression and impairment of our manhood; and, finally, the loss of those distinctive characteristics which are the traditional, recog nized and chief sources of this peo ple's greatness. No more import ant service could he rendered this country—not only the South, hut tin* whole country—than to clearly comprehend these dangers, and to erect firm and immovable harriers, mountain high, against the possi ble consequences.’ “We would here appeal to those who survive, to seek out some of our young friends, who will willing ly write, while they dictate their own experiences. For the futurl historian, in gathering his materine for correct history, if Ik* would do justice to our cause, must know the very life of the Old South, so differ ent from the life of today; and how can he knowjt, save as he catches its atmosphere in the treasured reminiscences of the survivors who were a pait of those times? To him even the commonplace events trans piring in the daily lives of the hum blest and the highest will he equally valuable. Let our brave men and noble women who are the last lin gering links binding us to that glo rious past, ponder these thoughts and contribute their share to the story grander and more sublime than the story of any other people in history. “Ves, old soldiers, help us now with your recollections; and we promise you for ourselves, our chil dren and our children’s children, that you and your exalt*?*?’. manhood and the principles for which you gave your bona ~, your hopes ami your happiness, shall live in our memory even win n you no longer walk among us, and we shall exem plify to the world the beauty and the truth of those words of the Con federacy’s gentle poet priest: ‘There is grandeur in grave's —thee is glory i?i gloom; For oig of the gloom future bright en ss is In,ni, As afti r the night conies the sunrise of morn ; And tli** graves of the dead with the grass overgrown May y< t form the footstool of lib erty's throne. And each single wreck in the war path of night, Shall yet lx* a rock in the temple of right. ’ * “\\V mm commit our effort to the gentle reader s tender regard. H e will not say ‘Farewell,’ for we hope to conn* again, if we can again impose unpon the kindness of Mr. Editor.”
