Entered an second-clans matter, Novem ber , 1007, at the postoffiee at Jackson, Ga. Telephone No. 166. Jackson, Ga., Friday, Aug. 19, 1910. Vote! Vote for the best men. Pull for Jackson or pull opt. Don’t forget the new hotel. Prosperity is still prospering. Vote early and then enjoy the fun. Vote your convictions like free men. It will be “23” for a lot of can didates. An early fall this year—every thing is so Brown. We will all have the same gov ernor after the 23. Lay aside all business on next Tuesday and go to the polls and vote. The people are going to vote for prosperity and principles and not looks on the 23. Governor Joseph M. Brown is a scholar and Christian gentleman. Nobody has ever denied that fact. Don’t be fooled voters. You must vote in your own district. ■ You can’t come to town to vote, this year. Remember that. Two more years in the gov ernor’s chair will make Little Joe a good looking man. Pretty is, as pretty does. The first issue of the Monticel lo Journal is just out. The paper carries a fine lot of advertising and starts out under the most fa vorable conditions. The people of Georgia ought to reelect Hon. O. B. Stevens to the i i office of railroad commissioner. He is the only farmer on the com mission. Mr. Stevens favors a new depot for Jackson an should receive the support of the citizens of this city and county. The election on next Tuesday is of far-reaching importance, j The people are called on to choose | between a quiet, conservative' man who believes the free people of Georgia nave enough sense to rule themselves, and a big noisy man who believes the peopel are “durned fool” add ought to be led around by the nape of the neck. Disguise it as you will but it is the old principle of democ racy as represented by Thomas Jefferson against the federalist idea represented by Hamilton. The principle is an old one and as eternal as the hills. On this iden tical principle Old Joe Brown a man whose democracy was never questioned beat that brilliant Whig, Ben Hill, and on this same principle Little Joe Brow n is go ing to beat Hoke Smith on next Tuesday. BUTTS COUNTY PROGRESS, JACKSON, GA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 19. 19x0. To all those that want a hand some man for governor we refer them to M. R. Patterson of Ten nessee. Patterson is a large, fine looking fellow: fearless as a lion and a good speaker but rotten to the core. For our part we pre fer a man that will give us a quiet, constructive and business like administration regardless of size and looks. Honesty and sin cerity are the main things. JUDGE ROBERT T. DANIEL Judge Daniel was born in Griffin fif ty-one years ago and has lived here all his life. His father practiced medicine here and was an honored and beloved citizen. He gave his son the advan- tage of an education and about thirty years ago Judge Daniel “hung out his shingle” and commenced the practice of law. He had no advantage of wealth but started at the bottom, by strict and diligent attention to business, hon est dealings, courteous demeanor, clean habits and methods, and hard work, he gradually rose in his profession un til today lie stands the peer of any of his brothers at the bar. The habits of a life time have ripen ed into the courteous gentlemen, loyal friend and able and fearless law yer. No lawyer at (he bar in this cir cuit has enjoyed for years a larger or better practice, or possesses more high ly the esteem, love and confidence of the people of his county than Judge Daniel. Added to his ripe experience as a lawyer, his broad liberal views of life, his great sympathy for his fellow man, he has by training and habits develop ed an executive ability of the highest' order. He is as one has said of"him ‘A man who knows how to do things and does them.” iI is knowledge of the great funda mental principles of law, those rules of equity and right, no less than his ac quaintance with the rules of practice, throughout this section as well as ü broad are well known and highly ap preciated and scores of clients whom Ik has represented during thirty years are bearing willing witness to his loy alty and ability. t For many years Judge Daniel* has been prominent in church and Sunday school work, and the boys and girls of some years ago whose young feet he helped to guide into the “ways of righteousness nhd paths of peace,” now grown into the full vigor of man hood and womanhood bear loving tes timony to his cleanness of life, strength of character and unswerving fealty to the “meek and lowly One of Nazareth.” One can can easily conclude that a man of these qualifies is both conser vative and positive in his convictions. And such a man is Judge Daniel, al ways willing to hear all sides, quick to distinguish between sophistry and truth and to detect error, his matured mind points the way to righteous judg gemeut, not as the needle points to the north (that would be Divine insight) but with remarkable precision. And when the truth is found by him he pro claims it without fear or favor, posi tively and without compromise. A Christian gentleman and a knight, ly man he has conducted his campaign on a high and honorable plane. Though ' attacked in the public press by some lie bail counted as friends he has not been provoked to anger and bitterness, but pursuing the even tenor of his way, with no weird of Yep roach for his ad versary or any one else, without mal ice, but with an abundance of charity, he has passed in and out among his fellow citizens of the Flint Circuit win ning the friendship of and support of the majority of them and golden opin | ions from nearly all. Spalding county oilers such a man j for Judge of this Circuit. Strong enough and brave enough to fearlessly dis charge every duty. 11 umane and char itable as he is every man “will have his day in court” and be assured of a full and fair hearing and of a square deal. learned in the law and of wide ex perience every man may feel assured that justice will not be cheated but that the right will prevail. Such a man is Robert T. Daniel. —tiritlin News & Sun. If you want a good bis cuit, come to Jackson Hardware Cos. next week. If you like good coffee, come to the Jackson Hard ware Cos. next week.
