PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY Sip <£ort|rau publishing (to. T. L. BAILEY, Editor. J. H. HULLIS, JR. Business Mgr. sußsaumoH pxice SI.OO ter year ■ ■ 11 1 ■ • ' -T^-T Political Pot Is Boiling The political pot is now toiling. Our people are exercised over the race between Brown and Smith. You can hear nothing else on these streets. Friends are arrayed against each other. Of course most of the "claptrap” that is talked on the streets is done in a good natured way, but misapprehensions and slanders are engaged in that is real ly detrimental to the unity and peace of our community. I wish our people would bear in mind that the good will and feelings of their ncightors are worth more to them that any candidate for governor or any other office in this state, anil when the race is over and Brown or •Smith is elected, you will to left alone to heal up the wounds you have made, and neither Smith or Brown (whoever the victor may Ik;) will ever know thatthe great major ity of us are in existence. Gentle men, it is all wrong. You talk about Brown men "flopping” over to Smith and Smith men flopping over to Brown. What are you go ing to do after the primary? Won’t there have to to a wholesale " (Hop ping” on one side or the other? Some men are becoming so bitter over this race that it actually seems that some of them will have to stult ify themselves, or refuse to support \ fL'fletnoei btich ,*>mi u ee. Look at campaign in the tenth district. It is absolutely a disgrree to civiliz 'ation. The brilliant Thos E. Wat son on one side of his native town denouncing in the most bitter terms the present representative, the Hon. Thos. W. Hardwick, while the lat tei* is on the other side of town us ing all the calumny and invective at his command against Mr. Wat son, and both threatening to put the other in the chaingang after the primary is over. Watson fearing ass assination, had ,his house guarded, claiming that Hardwick had threat ened his life, and Hardwick de nounced Watson in such rough lan guage that he had to actually ajatli gize to the ladies. Now what is coming over the spirit of our dreams? Where is the boasted civ ilization of the twentieth century? Whitt has become of the old time Southern gentleman, who respected his opponent, and confined himself to parlimentary language? Has the splrit'of the times changed? Are our statesmen deteriorating? The time seems to have arrived, when no man in public life is safe against the poisioned arrow of the character assassian. Our political institutions ar held up to us as rot ten to the core. Men in high places are accused of being grafters, politi cal mountebanks and susceptable to bribery, until the ordinary citizen looks upon our public men with a degree of suspicion and a lack of confidence unparalelled in the his tory of our republic. I believe our people are getting tired of all this abuse and misrep resentation. Look at the career of the brilliant and versatile Thos. E. Watson, who can say that his in fluence has not toen impaired by the bitter acrimony that has been injected into his entire ploitical ca reer. His friends say that he is justifiable. He is, in all probability sincere and believes he is fighting for the right, but the bitter personal attacks made on him and made by him will follow’ him to the grave. Polities is a queer thing. When you get into it it is hard to get out. It seems to be fascinating. The in herent tendency of man is to com pete. When he gets into the race 'lii li.i-nt.il t<> thfflfl have paramount to issue con fronting us. The welfare and fu ture prosperity of this community depend almost entirely upon the united efforts of our people. toying everything else aside, let us present an unbroken rank and solid front for Cochran and Bleckiey County. It is our people whom we love. It is our people in whose in terest we are interested. People of Cochran, the farmers located in the vicinity are your custumers, and should to- your best friends and neighbors. Their friendship and confidence are worth a thousand times more to you than all the oth er outside interests of the state com bined. It was extremely gratifying to see the country and the town completely united on the new coun ty question Our interests are inter woven and interdependent. We are one socially amt industrially. The same blood flows through our veins. We are tound together by Christ ian affiliation and fraternal associ ation. Let not outside issues tear us asunder. We have put forth what little influence and talent we had in the interest of those things we have honestly thought would be for the best welfare of our little town and surrounding country. For weeks before sufficient means were provided for the maintainanev of our school, we filled our columns with articles on education and did our best toward creating a sentiment favorable to the support of our ex cellent school. We claim no credit whatever for the success of this movement, or that we were able within ourselves to wield any appre ciable influence but we know we kept hammering and the good peo ple rallied to the support of our ed ucational institution and we believe we are going to have the best school in the third Congressional district and if we have contributed one sin gle iota towards this end, we feel amply rewarded.
