Vernon, Georgia, Thursday Morning, Aug. 9, 1906. !. - Just tell the calamity howler) that Georgia is all right, and that) Montgomery county ih one of the garden upotn in it. We favor a four years term for governor, and if the present dis graceful scramble is to be repeat ed, we don’t mind if you make it. eight years. Every honest Democrat liojws to see the end of Georgia’s politi cal muss in two weeks from this date, and that Democratic prin ciples will still prevail. Brantley is standing by Estiil for governor, and no man in this state can come nearer giving a sensible reason for the l'uitli that is in him than W. G. Brantley. The loss to Georgia in cold cash by reason of tlio strife engendered by the multitude of elections that keep the people lashed into frenzy may not be easy to count, but it is immense. And sure enough, Representa tive Anderson did not have in a blank cartridge when lie fired ut the speculating oflicers in the Southern Cotton Association. He brought down the game. A magnificent memorial window was unveiled by the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church (negroes) last week in Roanoke, V'a., to the memory of Stonewall Jackson. The question arises, wore these negroes ever properly disfran chised? Talk about your nightmares ami spooks and goblins, but if the “dark horse” which prances , up and down 111 the bulging eyes ol a few .North Georgia politicians don’t cost them a case of vuucu rickets it will be a remarkable escape. It. is not corporate greed, it is not railroad domination, nor the real danger of black supremacy that holds down this part of , Georgia. The real reason is a lack of co-operation on the part our people, and that suspicious distrust that may easily be traced to ignorance. Figure, investigate, explain all you like, but unless liarvie Jordan ' can shake out of their places Fair* 1 child and Cheatham, who have ac- 1 kuowledged themselves traitors to the cause espoused by the South ern Cotton Association, and shake 1 them out speedily, he hud just as well shut up shop and quit. There is not a count unity in this country that three earnest men could not improve a hundred p*r cent, by united effort. There is uot u town in all South Georgia that six intelligent, public spirit ed men could not build up by combining for that purpose. It is all a matter of getting together. Fitzgerald People:—Estiil, if elected, will enter his administra- 1 tion without the extensive politi cal entanglements of his two lead ing opponents of North Georgia, thus being free to administer the affairs after ins owu good judg ment which has marked with notable success all his private en terprises. Really don’t you think Georgia, and especially South Georgia, could consistently ami advantageously support this old war veteran for governor? A A A A A AAAAAAjtf f STATE PRESS COMMENTS < > wwvvvA Darien Gazette:—Of course if they are going to extend the State Road to the sea it should come to Darien, ,Savannah and Brunswick both want it and the proper way to do is to split the difference by coming straight to Darien. Deep water here all right, so let the | road come this way. Dublin Courier-Dispatch :—The people are fairly well waked up over the railroad situation, but, wait until Atlanta gets port rates if you want to hear a howl. The At lanta Journal is deceiving the peo ple, and when the people become undeceived theeditorof that paper had better take to tall timber. Fitzgerald Enterprise:—The prohibitionists of South Dakota have nominated a man by the name of Draukwater for governor. Surely they could not have found i a man with a more appropriate name. Waycross Herald: —There are but 178 negroes on the registration book of Bibb county. The poll tax and the primary puts the ne gro out of politics in Georgia. Disfranchisement is u farce and Ilolte Smith knows it. A mericus Ti mes-Recorder: — The Enquirer-Sun thinks Tom Watson, The Atlanta Journal and Hoke Smith will discover that all made a mistake 111 proceeding in accordance with the idea that Georgia folks aro fools. Cochran Courier: —Between July 1, and June 18, 1000, 00 new state bunks were chartered in Georgia with an aggregate capital of $2,806,000. Yet the ealuinity howling candidates tries to make it appear that Georgia is in a bad way and getting worse. Macon Telegraph :—Napoleon Bonaparte on a raft dictating terms to the crowned heads of Europe was not a circumstance to Thomas E. Watson on the bor rowed Thomson hillock dictating to the Democracy of the United States of America and of Georgia. Atlanta Journal: —Just see the amount of trouble Harry Thaw is causing. A Cleveland woman has sued her husband for divorce on the ground that houses cigarettes. Savannah News:—“Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.” The increasing irrri tability of Mr. Hoke Smith dur ing the recent past has attracted the attention of voters from Nickajack to Tv bee light. Sandersville Herald :—Hon. lloke Smith has made hisHhird speech in A mericus during the campaign and each tune carried it over again. The time for the fourth carrying has not been an nounced. Bryan Enterprise:—We art 1 glad to note a tendency on the part of the public and especially of the local press to discourage the run ning of cheap rate Sunday excur | sious by the railroad; It is said several of the leading southern roads have this season abolished the excursion tratio, finding it un profitable and others are contetn . plating a similar action.
