E6e Grady County Progress ROBERT H. HARRIS ROBERT L. KINCAID Associate Editors. Entered as mail matter of the second-class at the Cairo, Ga., Post Office, July 22, 1910. SOME QUESTIONS. Who knows? and What? These questions relate to the political situation and out-look, in Georgia. And those conditions are involved in each other. Let us consider the questions, both separately and intricately. Who knows the man that can tell the un-warped truth, about political conditions and prospects, in our state? Not one to pose as “Sir Oracle”—a self-assumed Know-it-all. Not a mystic voice, rumbling forth,. as it were, from a Delphic P.ythia. The oracles of ancient classical lore are said to have merely hinted out mysteri ous prognostics, of doubtful, or double, meaning. We want no dubious pronouncements, nor duplex prophecies. We crave a straignt-forward statement of the truth and a safe augury of the coming day. What?—Which is a demand for a prediction, sane and safe; based upon an adequate understanding of the length and breadth and height and depth of the Georgia political muddle. Who is the true and truthful seer? And of what is Ihe the harbinger? This editor is not a politician and he pretends to no inside knowledge of politicial affairs confided to him sub rosa. Upon the general propositions, he is not a political augur. He is rather as his old boy-hood friend, Jim Dyson, (in later years, to become the father of our Aider- man Dyson) was, on a certain occasion while he and this scribe were soldier lads, together, in the Confederate army. Jim Wrote a letter for publication in our home paper. In that letter, he said about this, in reference to the probable duration of the bloody struggle: “Some folks think the war will end within six months; other folks think it will go on, for a year; but, as for me, I think think the close will depend entirely upon circum stances.” Let us illustrate our meaning. We have been asked substantially, such questions as these: “Who will be the next governor?” “How long will Hoke Smith re main in the gubernatorial chair?” “Is it not likely that some vital party question will come up in the United States Senate, to demand the presence of Smith?” “What will, or what ought, the Georgia Legis lature, or the—ah, somebody, to do about it?” We reply: Some folks think one way and some, an other; but, as for us, we think the determination of all those questions will depend entirely upon circumstances. Thus, it is clear that we are not the infallible prog nosticator sought. But, so far as th° state itself Ts concerned, aside from the selfish interests of all individual candidates for office, there are some things that we do know. And one of those things we would stamp into the mind* of our readers: The political situation in Georgia is extremely grave. In some respects, it is critical. In one, it is cru cial. Whatever Hoke Smith may do. Whether John Slaton is to be governor, ad interim, or not. Whether Tom Hudson ana Pope Brown-and Dick Russell and J:e Brown, Dr.Hardman and others are all to be kept before thepeople as candidates, indefinitely, or the race is to be narrowed down to a contest between two or three mem only. Whatever else may be, one thing is certain. THE LIQUOR QUESTION IS BOUND TO COME TO THE FORE! The results of the recent elections in Alabama and Texas are startling! And one effect of them in Georgai will be to precipitate the issue of Local Option vs. Prohi bition upon our people; no matter \yhat the'.Lfe@isia4ture may do, or not do, with measures upon that?l&bj8c!t that may come before it.
