Can’t Fool ’Em.
In a recent issue ol the Carroll
County Times there appeared
an article stating that the policy
of that paper would be to remain
neutral in the present guberna<
torial campaign and to be tair to
all sides, but before leaving the
subject he endorsed Joe Brown
tor a stcond term. Was that
remaining neutral and fair to all
sides? Well, hardly.
In this week’s issue of the
8ame paper there appears an
article headed “Georgia Farmers
a Unit for Brown.” Are they?
It makes us smile to hear any
such ridiculous statements, but
perhaps Carroll County is not
on his map of Georgia, or else
he don’t regard the farmers of
this county as a factor to be
reckontd with. The editor of
that paper knows, or should
know, that Carroll County has
always been in the Smith column
by a large majority.
The same article, in a way
accuses Brown of being the
whole show when it comes to
“the present period of high
wages, prosperity and good
times.” But we can hardly
swallow this in view of the fact
that an era of prosperity struck all
ot the southern states about the
same time, and surely if Gov.
Brown caused all of this pros
perity, good times, 16 1-2 cent
cotton, $1.25 corn, etc. here in
Georgia is responsible for it
in all the other cotton raising
stales where they have been
getting as good a price for farm
products as we have.
You can’t make the tarmers
of this county believe that any
one man is responsible for all
this. You can fool some of the
people part of the time, but you
can’t fool all of the people all ot
the time.
The article above Veterred to
is similar in every detail to one
received at this office, presum-
ably from Brown headquarters,
although there were no marks,
other than the absurb insinuai
tions against Hoke Smith, to
indicate from what source it
came. We refused to publish it
for several reasons, two of which
are the statements made in the
article are too one-sided to be
given much credence by any
man, and, in matters of this kind
we prefer to form our own
opinion of the situation rather
than be dictated to in any form
or fashion, or from anybody’s
headquarters.
It strikes us that this is rather
a peculiar proposition for the
editor ot the Times to try' to
palm oft on the intelligent citi*.
zens of this county, and, to us,
it appears as a reflection upon
their intelligence, but we sup-
pose he will explain next week
as usual.
Carson-Brown
A wedding of much interest
occurred in Atlanta some three
weeks since, when Miss Mary
Belle Carson of Atlanta, and
Mr Willis Brown of this city
were united in marriage .
Mr. Brown had arranged for
a surprise to his friends when
he would bring his bride home
on last Sunday, but fate was un
kind to him in this, the news of
his wedding had become spread
oyer the city, and when he and
his charming bride reached the
city it was amid a shower of rice
and old shoes from the throng ol
friends gathered at the station.
Mrs Brown, the bride, is a
charming and accomplished
young wopian, and has many
friends here where she has visit 1
ed on former occassions. Mr
Brown is one of the most prom
ising voung business men and
is at the present assistant book
keeper at the Citizens Bank.
We join their many friends in
best wishes for a happy life.

Ed. Free Press.
I. have been asked if my book is
to be a history ot Carroll Country,
and I ask another little space in
your paper to say that it is not
neither is it to be a^istory in any
sense ot the word. Dicing the
life ot Maj. Richardson, and es.
pecially during the latter part ot
his lile, when he was not active
ly engaged in teaching, he
wrote a great deal for the press
on a variety of subjects, both in
prose and in poetry. I have
selected from thrm enough to
make a book of about two hun
dred and fifty pages, so the pub
lisher says. It is not merely a
family book, but a book tor all.
A. B. Caldwell, who is get-
ingup “Menot mark inGeorgia”
will do the work, which is suffi
cient guarantee that it will be
done well.
