POLITICS
IN BUTTS
Politics continues to wax warm
er in Butts.
*
♦ *
The Progress goes to press this
week with five more political
announcements. Messrs. W. J.
McClendon for tax collecector; J.
Matt McMichael for represena
tive; S. J. Smith for treasurer;
Thos. E. Redman for tax re
ceiver, and J. M. Strickland, of
Griffin, for solicitor general.
*
* *
While these gentlemen would
merit all the pleasant things
which we could say about them,
The Progress realizes that the
people of Butts are conscious of
their many good points, and
therefore feel that any words of
commendation would be super
flous. Anyway, we are glad to
publish their announcements and
commend their candidacy to the
earnest consideration of the
voters.
*
* * \
Although no official announce
ments have been made, it appears
that there are now at least four
men in the race for the state sen
ate. The latest addition is Col.
Lucian L. Ray. He with the
other gentlemen in the race—
Messrs. O. M. Duke, F. Z. Curry
ahd S. H. Mays, will doubtless
make some fur fly as the primary
approaches.

than send him to the legislature.

HON. J. W. WISE.
We reproduce an article here
from the Middle Georgia Farmer,
which explains its self:
“Hon. J. W. Wise was born in
Henry county, on a farm, and
was raised on the farm. When
a young man he read law with
Hall and Hammond of Atlanta,
and then with Judge E. J. Rea
gan of McDonough, and began
the practice of his profession at
Fayetteville. He has been very
successful as a lawyer, and still
retains his farming interests.
From a poor boy by his frugality
and temperate life he has worked
himself up among the business
men of Fayetteville until he has
been honored with the presidency
of the Farmers’ and Merchants’
bank, at that place, and for last
two terms has been chairman of
the ways and means committee,
said by many to be the most im
portant committee of the house,
and as a legislator, was one of
the floor managers with Hon.
Seaborn Wright and Col. Coving
ton in the passage of the state
temperance bill.
“He with Hon. Murphy Candler
and W. A. Covington were com
mittee of prohibitionists, which
met with similar committee of
anti-prohibitionists and reached
agreement by which bill finally
passed after days of 'filibuster-
ing.'
* ‘He also introduced and succeed
ed in passing bill by which the
governor is authorized to use any
money in the treasury not other
wise appVopriated to pay the
common school teachers of the
state, and by which they will re
ceive pay monthly, and many
other important bills all looking
to the welfare of the people of
this state. He has always been
not only a warm prhibitionist,
but an earnest consistent temper
ance man, and active in Chris
tian work."
