SECOND TRIAL OF
BURNETT FOR LUNACY.
The court. of Ordinary here held
n lunacy court last Saturday, the
subject being 11. H. Burnett of
the Alamo auction. 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.

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!

have all notes and mortgages
stamped by the clerk of the court
and record kept by him. (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.
