Burnett was sent to the asylum at Mtlledge ville from this county severnl mouths ago, and wan discharged from that institution about three or lour months afterwards, going to Carolina. He returned here on an excursion train recently, and going to his home near Alamo, was aguiii taken into custody. At the trial here on Saturday ho was discharged. LET US UNITE. If Col. Estill is successful, he will owe his election to the peo ple, not the office-seekers or cor porations. In other words, he will go into office tied by prom ises to no man or men or corpo rations. He is not a trader in public offices, but an honest clean handed Confederate veteran, a clear-headed, successful business man possessed of a clean record, in war and peace, rare executive ability and a ripe knowledge of men and public affairs. And, fel low-citizens, he is South Geor gia’s candidate, the peer of any who has offered for the place in years, and the whole state would honor herself in making his elec tion unanimous. As this won’t be, South Georgians, at least, should wake up to the long sought opportunity to unite on a good man for governor.—Ocilla Star. From Sardis. Mr. O. L.

ADVOCATES RUSSELL FOR GOVERNOR, | Communicated.] Fellow Citizens and Voters of Montgomery County: I noticed ! an article, addressed to the voters j of Montgomery county, published • last week in a nearby pajier, that jdid Judge R. B. Russell an injus tice in misrepresenting him. For j lack of space 1 cannot say all I wish to say in behalf of Judge Russell; and if any one thinks I took advantage of the last issue of the Monitor before the primary, I will meet you on the stump any time you wish. All those who have heard Judge Russell know all I say is true, and those who have no heard him may be certain that I tell you unques tionable facts. I venture to say, a d all who heard him then will vouch for it, that when Judge Bussell made his wonderful s|ieech at Mt. Vernon before an audience of four or five hundred people there were not ten Russell men when lie began, and when he closed you could not find ten against him, and since that time he has been gaining votes by the hundred. When we come in contact with a man of his ability and power and realize that he was a poor farmer’s boy, and in order to read law, he iiad to cook, eat, sleep und study in the same room, as he was not able to pay board; but hus for years been judge of the courts to which he once walked to practice in, having resigned to make the race, and has never had any oppo sition. And taking this into con sideration, and what he has done for the people of Georgia in the past, and what a practical, useful platform he has, I feel that we should nil vote for him, because there is no need to Bland back because you have expressed your selves. Remember that “fools never change their minds: wise men do.” There is no man in the race who can excel Judge Russell in übility, integrity, energy, perseverance, sincerity and honesty. He hns a life record without a blemish, and no one who has brought charges against him in this campaign has been able to sustain them. He was first to announce for governor in this campaign and he did it with out consulting any ring, clique or politician nod came out on his own manhood and brains, w ith no promise to anybody, without put ting money m the hands of poli ticians, or to have big newspapers to blow I. l in ami fine looking re porters to write him up. He has no big newspaper, hence you have no way to learn of his strength until he made his appearance. All the other candidates are million aires. Judge Russell is the only man in the race who was born in Georgia. They tell you the reason he is not ns wealthy ns the others, is because lie is a poor financier and unsuccessful in busines; but fellow citizens, here is the reason : While these rich candidates were making money and putting it deep in their pockets, Judge Russell was spending the best part of his life in the legislature of Oeorgia, working hard to establish the free public school system of Georgia, which lie accomplished by a six years hard tight. He says that if elected governor, he will he a member of the state hoard of ed ucation and will see that the country has nine months of free school as the cities have. They j tell you that Russell is in full! sympathy with the railroad mo nopolies. You know that cannot be true, when he refuses S4(XX> a year ns attorney for the railroads. Again while in the legislature he had a bill passed to reduce rail road faro from 4 to 8 cents; and if elected will reduce it to 2 cents, lit his platform lie he says that the State Road (the one owned by the state of Georgia) should be extended to the coast and that it should be made the competing line —that is, for what it can car ry freight other roads ruiinidg parallel to it must be made to at> same rate, and the roads that j cross it must not exceed the rute. Then and not until then will we have a just freight rate. Further-! more he advocates in his platform! that the railroads should lie taxed j at their full market value, and by doing so it would reduce the com- 1 mou people’s taxes nearly one I Half. How can any man tell that] Judge Russell is in sympathy with the railroads? “Render unto Cae sar the things that are Caesar’s,” and unto Russell the things that, are Russell's. “Thou shall not ! bear false testimony against thy I fellow man.” In regard to taxes Judge Russell says in addition to taxing the railroads for true value, ] the rich men, corporations, banks] and ot her concerns should he taxed for full value, and make the banks and other parties who have notes and mortgages give them in. This! can be done Ivy making a law to! THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, AUG. i 6. 1906. Libel for Divorce. Lizzie Mae Pridgen vs J. W. Pridgen Suit for Divorer in Montgomery Su perior Court, Nov.

(Ofcourse j it is expected that some of the rich | men, especially those who have notes and mortgages, may object to tnis.) When all this property is brought into light there will be a small tax rate levied —so small until the poor man’s tax will be very small, and if he is worthless than SBOO it will hardly be worth collecting. As far as the colored man is concerned, he does not pay any tax except a few. One of the ex-tux collectors says he does not think over 150 colored people pay in this county. Most all those who do pay are worth more than SBOO. Consequently there is nothing to lose there, judge Russell has said j in his speeches repeatedly, une quivocally and unhesitatingly that the negroes should be educated out of their own tax money, so it is not j list nor fair to say he advo cates otherwise in order to say ho has got it so the colored man pays no tax and goes to school on our funds. A few words on dis franchisement: Judge Russell tells you if he wanted to disfran chise the negro he would run for representative, as the governor would not be allowed to open his mouth on that question. All he can promise you is that he will approve any bill of this kind sent him from the general assembly. We practically have the negro dis franchised by tho primaries, and if they should die out, he could not vote in general elections, as it would take three million dollars to pay up back taxes; so, as such few can vote anyway why is it necessary to disfranchise some white men in order to disfranchise the darkey? If there ever was a settled fact, it is this: The colored man in the United States cannot he disfranchised constitutionally without disfranchising some white people. If that law should ever pass the uneducated white people of Georgia will sutTer. North Carolina now has the darkey ab solutely disfranchised, but after January, 1908, every negro who comes up to the educatiodal quuli-| fictitious can vote, and every w hite man who cannot come up to these i qualifications will not be allowed | to vote. Now yju see what the] disfranchise bill has done for the j uneducated white people of North Carolina. When you vote for Judge Russell, you vote for the next governor, because he has se lected the majority of counties and worked them, and will carry every county he has lectured in. Nobody knows his strength but the places where he has beeu. Some are trying to make you be- j lieve this man is running as a ] tool, when there are able men in this county who will testify that! he was ottered $25,000 for his vote in the legislature and he refused it. He has been holding public i office for about twenty years and sttil a poor man. l)o you believe he could be bought for a tool? No, but such a man as this will make ui a good governor. When you vote for him you do something to stimulate the hard working boys of the country, because they can see that riches and a city life is not the essential qualification tor governor. Do not be afraid you will lose your vote, because] there is no man in history who is sweeping the state like Judge Russell is sweeping it today. Do; not forget next Wednesday, but; leave off your work and go vote for Dick Russell. Dr. J. W. Palmer. Citation for Leave to Sell. Georgia—Montgomery County.
