SECOND TERM FOR BROWN.
It is a worthy ambition to want
to be Governor of Georgia, but
there are more people who would
gladly accept the position than
there m opportunity for. We are
ii it, surprised that, just at this
juncture, several are debating
with themselves and their friends
tin- propriety of making a tryout
t•»r the ooveted otliee. II is be
lieved by snnie that the refusal of
II iii. Hoke Smith to make tin
race leaves a very large element
in this State who would auto
matically and unconditionally
fall to the support of any man
that would oppose the present in
cumbent. liut is this a fair ami
aeeurate conclusion?
Alter u hard-fought butt le two
years ago Hun.. Joseph M. brown
was elected Governor. Ama jori
ty of the people had fallen out
with Governor Smith and they
demanded a change. The change
wan made. Some who voted for
the change knew little *>l the man
for whom they cast, their ballots,
and they regarded it as an expari
ineiit. These men are n >\v wholly
convinc.nl that the experiment,
has proved successful. The then
hugely unknown man for whom
they voted has made good. Not a
corporal’s guard, if any, will fall
awuy from the support of Gov
ernor brown for a second term.
Os course where there were two,
or three, or four applicants for an
ollice the Governor could appoint
but one. We know absolutely of
noue of these disappointed ones
that will oppose the re-dent ion of
Governor brown, Imt we know by
the experience of every other
Governor that, there are always
s.ene of that kind. There will
probably Is* fewer tins year t han
usual. but The Telegraph hears
from all quarters of the State
that the I 10,1(00 who put brown
in the Governor's chair will stand
fora second term for him this
year. It also hears that, a large
percentage of those who voted
against him will vote for Ins re
election against any comers. It
was known a month or more ago
that a large number who voted
1 r Smith two years ago were go
ing to vote for brown tins year,,
even if Smith run again. Since'
Smith has declined to run, still
another large contingent has al
ready declared that while they
w mid have voted for Smith they
will now prefer brown to anv one
that should run.
The Telegraph has a letter from
a prominent Georgian who says
lie “sat up” three hours with
lb>kc Smith within a few days,
and “urged him with all mv pow
er to announce,” etc., but since
he declines, that Georgian savs :
“Speaking for myself, as mat
ters now stand 1 shall cease to
importune Governor Smith to
run, Imt rat her commend his de
termination, under existing eir
cu instances, not to run; and it
appears to me that the best thing
for us all now to do, is to let the
present incumbent of the chair ot
state, the game little rooster from
Cold* county, have# second term
without further opposition.”
This is the feeling that pr e
\.. is. Let us have p. ace. Nobody
assails Brown's a.luuniustration.
He is impregnable, lie lias made
good with a rush. Georgians
have always given t heir Governors
a second term, except in one in
stance, and then they believed
they had good reasons for withhold
ing that reward. Macon Tele

“Dynamite is not essential to

who had a mind for it., patriotic

the nature of the danger they
face. Above all, tell them that
if your words and the words of
their trusted physician have no
weight on the quest inn of deny
ing fireworks to little, unskilled,
dirty hands, at least they must
not neglect the seemingly harm
less powder wound. Or if, in spite
of your own wisdom, your child
