Mt. Vernon, Georgia, Thursday Morning, July 5, 1906.
The South Georgia candidate
for governor always pleases the
people when 1.0 meets them. No
muck rake on Ins shoulder, no
vote-catching reform fakes under
liis vest ; a clean Georgia business
man, and one every South Geor
gia and every North Georgia man
can vote for on August. 22d, with
out leaving his conscience shut
up in a closet at home when he
goes to the polls.
Georgia reformers are away be
hind the spirit of the “wild and
wooly west.” In Kausas they are
demanding that all shirts have
their tails lengthened, and the
women of Denver are demanding
that the next postage stamp issue
have n woman’s head on it.
What’s the matter with that
stubborn Georgia Railroad Com
mission that they do not give Mt.
Vernon port rates? Haven’t we
got the Oconee river and several
bateau boats, and dooson’t real
steam boats pnss here several
I imes a year?
Wit 1 1 Joe Hill Hull heating lip
the Georgia legislature seven
times hotter than its normal tem
perature, and the congressional
candidates in the First District
shutting ofT all our eastern sea
breezes, no wonder we are pant
ing for breath.
A REAL MENACE.
In the recent grand jury pre
sentments of Sumpter county, in
teresting figures relative to the
public schools of that county are
given. During the past year til
public schools were operated with
a total membership enrollment of
8,862 pupils. Os this number
1,007 were white children and
2,840 colored children, the negroes
predominating by nearly 8 to 1.
This statement does not include
i
the Anterious public schools,]
where the attendance is 1,500, and I
nearly evenly divided.
The above figures offer food for
reflection. According to reports,
the same condit ions exist in num
bers of other counties throughout
the state, and tins great increase
in attendance upon the negro
schools has taken place within the
short space of one year.
With these facts before us, the
the question that naturally arises
is, what is responsible fur these
conditions? The cause is quite
apparent. For the past year the
II on. Hoke Smith, of “divine call
and Piedmont bar fame,” has
been parading from one end of j
the state to the other advocating
the disfranchisement of the negro.
The only way this can be legally
done is on an educational basis,
winch would, if endorsed, take
awfly the ballot of thousands of
white voters, as it would the illit
erate negro vote.
The negro has taken in the sit
uation and is preparing to meet
these new conditions. He has de
serted the farms and is now at
tending public schools in order
that he may acquire the necessary
education to entitle him to vote,
while your own boys are forced to
remain at home and work ou ac
count of the scarcity of labor, and
your boy is therefore deprived of
the great advantages offered by
the public school system.
The plan advocated by lluke
Smith offers negroes a premium
ou education, and you and I are
taxed to support and maintain
their schools.
Can we support and vote for a
man who is working to accom
plish this end? We say no, a
thousand times, no!—Acworth
Post.
The two new propositions, to
add one inch to the length of all
1 1 shirts, us originated in Kansas,
• and to turn cotton stalks into
paper, us proposed by Harvie
Jordan, all to help cotton plan
ters, seem good to us.
Many of our weekly exchanges
took tins week off to rejoice over
the birth of American Independ
ence. It takes Christmas or iiog
killing tune to stop the Monitor.
II we fail to make a big cotton
crop, it is gratifying to note that
Montgomery’s bread and meat
crops give promise of abundance,
“in our midst.”
Joe Hill Hall’s bill creating a
state auditor was the first to pass
the house at this session. You
can’t hold down the irrepressible
Joe.
Did you celebrate yesterday?
Or did the American eagle bunt

THE GOVERNORSHIP.
Did you ever notice the fact,
that in the eyes of some people
down here in South Georgia, all i
of our big brainy men live in
North Georgia. This of course
would boa natural way for North
Georgia people to feel, but we do
not see why a South Georgia man
should feel that way. We know i
some, and many can, and will say
this is not a fair statement. As
to some, and many, perhaps it is
not yet ns to quite n number it is
true. Take the Governorship race
and stud)’ the question. You will
say perhaps that is not a fair test,
because you do not fayor Estill as
a man, but it is fair te-t all the
same. You say we have abler
j men in South Georgia than he,
j and if they were running you
I would support them. Yes, but is
; it not true that North Georgia has
| abler men than Smith, Howell or
Russell? Yet we always see North
Georgia men standing by one of
their citizens, though he may not
be one of their ablest and best.
There is no excuse for any South
Georgia man to refuse to support
J. H. Estill for Governor. He
may not be able to make as elo
quent a speech as some of our
lawyers but no one doubts bis
jhonestvnnd his superior ability
as a business man, and it is this
quality we need now in the guber
natorial chair more than we do
eloquence and politics. As a truth
there is no better business man in
the whole state of Georgia than J.
H. Estill, and now above all other !
times we need just such a brain as
he possesses, in the governor's
chair. The South, and Georgia
in particular, is on t-lie eve of one j
of the greatest eras of develop
ment we have ever had, and this
; is the time we most need a man :
who knows all about business
matters and how to handle ti-,
nances. This is all as true ns;
gospel, and we hope all of South
Georgia will wake up and rally to
tlm support of J. 11. Estill, the
South Georgia candidate for Gov
ernor, and we will then have one
of the best Governors the state
has ever had. This is South,
Georgia's opportunity and her
loyal sons should take advantage
of it. and we feel justified in be-i
lieving that a great majority of
them will do so. Vote for Estill. j
and you will not only vote for the j
best man in the race; but you
will be loyal to your own section.
