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. “That’s Just What I Want” Said a lady while looking through our toilet line last week. \/ni I Will Be Apt To Find What VDI I IV/U Want as Well I VrU Our Line is Up-to-Date Our Line is Complete Try us next [time you want some populrr advertised artised article.
