VOL. XXII.
SAYS COUNTY
FAIR IS PROPER.
_______
Editor Monitor:
Will you please allow me a lit
tle space m your valuable paper
for the purpose of discussing the
above subject a little?
I think we should have a county
fair this fall—say in November.
This is one of the best ways of
seeing what your neighbor is do
ing—what is going on in the way
. * I
of Farming, Stock Raising, Dairy |
products, Poultry Raising, In-j
ventious, and in fact have an ex-j
position of all the many improve
ments along the many lines.
j
Now can we not have a fair this
fall somewhere in the county and
let it be under the management qf j
the Farmers Union ol IVfontgom-j
ery county, or some other set of
men.
I would like to hear from others
on this subject, and I want them f
to say their say through the col-!
umnsof the Monitor. Nearly ev-j
ery family in the county reads the i
paper, consequently all will know
what is being done about the fair.
I may write more on. the subject j
later. ’Yours truly,
Till. !

On the Liquor Question.
The following statofnent was is
sued yesterday by lion. Joseph M.
, Brown, candidate for governor;
'l'n 111*- people of Georgia: Tile
desperate effort of the Atlanta
Journal and its candidate to di*
eoive the prohibitionists and tile
people of Georgia by parading as
I champions of prohibit ion is -apT j
palpable hyproerisy, a disguise of
demagogy so thin, that I have j
been content to ht tho people
judge between us, just as I am
abundantly assured tin y have
judg'd. I have not needed to (.ear
the Knglisli language into ribbons
to find adjectives to protect my
record outlie subject, of prohibi
tion. I nm eleventh-hour con
vert for political reasons to its
enise. The people in this mat
ter - as in others,have their oppor-j
t unity to decide between words I
! and deeds.
pHoiniirrioN Not An Isstk.
At the outset of this campaign
prohibition was not an issue.
There was and there is no revolt
! against prohibition in Georgia to
justifv a campaign. The Atlanta
Journal candidate seized prohibi
|
t mu, a cause known to be dear to!
the people oft Icorgia, lor
al and selfish reason* to stay lnsj
falling fortunes,“wolf," “wolf,"!
when there was no “wolf.
At the same time The Journal's
candidate must, of course', try to
force prohibitionists under Ins
staudarda bv shouting that he
had driven the ant i-prohibit innist
i
out of his camp, and that tlieyj
were going to support Joe I’.rown.
The first suggestion that any
I ant i-prohibil ionists would support !
me came from Tim Journal and
! it s candid,lie. 'flies have kept up
i the cry, but not a shred of evi
! deuce has been offered
In my li rst si a t cnieiit to the
; people I declared myself as being,
by convict ion, “unalterably’’ op
posed I(i I lie sa loon . II t lie A 111 I-
Saloon League by its name means
anything, il means that d is op- j
posed to t lie saloon. Not even t lie I
word “unalterably seems neces-j
Isnrv to . define its position. Jf j
words can express ideas, then my j
deela rat ton of hostility to the sa-j
loon as “unalterable’’ was 41 clear 1
proebimat 1011 of my decided con-J
viet ions on this subjei-t ennvie-l
I '
t ions that were, so far as I could
know my heart and mind, as “1111- j
i alterable” after my elect io'n as!

' Tin- Journal's candidate was op-j

iit required only a two-thirds nut-j

It I Intel been governor of Geor
gia, I not only would have signed
1 lie prohibition hill, Gut I would
not liavo put my influence against
its passage a* Governor Smith
i did. His course in discourage
