The Henry County Weekly
VOL. XXXV
ILi.id Writes To The
Voters.
McDonough* Ha.
March 28 1910.
Mr Editor:
As my physical condition pre
vents me from meeting the voters
or Henry County in person, I kin
dly ask space in your valuable
paper to talk with every voter in
Henry County.
1 have lived in old Henry Comity
all my life, and prior to my af
fliction I t'aithfuily endeavored to
discharge my duly as a citizen as
a neighbor and as a hnsband and
father in mv humble way. I
labored faithfully to support n.y
family, as I believe all ot my nei
ghbors will testify.
M/ affliction and helpless con
dition is beyond human control,
y it. I have the same ambition and
the same derire to he placed in a
position to provide for my loving
wife and children as I did before I
w is stricken down.
I am not unmindful of the nnpre
eendented kindness that has been
shown me by fellow men during
all lof my illness Words cannot
convey to you all the ifrue appre
ciation of myself and family of
your many kinddeeds and chari
table acts. It is only the God of
Heaven alone that knows the true
feelings of myself and family for
the many favors that have teen
shown ns in our alflicton.
In asking your generous snpport
for the office of Connty Treasurer,
I feel that lam asking for some
thing that will bring you no cost,
but will add joy and happiness in
my household ; that it will give me
new life and will remove from my
self and family the painful neces
sity of having to depend upon tiie
goodness nf our friends and nei
ghbors who have so long adminis
tered to our necessities.
Ido hope that no man in Henry
Comity will raise the question of
inability on my part to perform
the duties of the office, because
we all know that the bank's of the
county handle the county money,
and the methods of disbursing tne
funds are so 7>lain and simple, that
th?'re is lit tle chance for mistakes.
The county funds in my hands
would he perfectly safe, because it
would always be found in the
vaults of the banks in McDonough.
The cashier and assistant cashier
in the Bank of Henry County can
easily explain to you the simple
method in which the money is
handled.
I need the office to support my
family, and if I thought that I
could not faithfully perform its
duties I would he the last man to
ask your support, as everyone
knows I am in a helpless condition
with hut little hope that I will
ever be better. I love my wife and
children the same that you love
yours.
I want every voter in Henry
County to take this, my personal
appeal, toyonr homes and firesides
and read it to your wife and chil
dren. On the morning of the pri
mary, when yon are just, starting
to the polls and when your good
wife throws one loving look into
your face and says, “John don't
forget the afflicted man to-day,”
and when your bright prosperous
looking children take you by the
hand and say, Papa don’t forget
the afflicted man to-day, I feel that
all will be well, and that sunshine
aud happiness will invade my home
and thud every voter of the county
will rejoice in my good luck.
Jnst one word to my opponents.
I entertain for each of you the
very kindness feeling. I am at
peace with all mankind. My long
affliction has been instrumental
in cansing me to love my neigh-

hors and friends with a stron
ger devotion than I could have
ever doue otherwise. I believe that
on the morning after the primary,
that if you find that I have been
nominated for County Treasurer,
that each of you will come to me,
take me by the hand and say,
Floyd, ' Id boy I am glad you have
got it, for you need the office far
more than I did.
I respectfully ask of my friends
throughout the county when they
are in McDonough to come to my
home and keep me posted as to Ho
race, if you can't come to McDo
nough, please drop me a card and
tell me that you are going to sup
port me in the coming race. I de
sire to say that in advance of pri
mary day, I desire to thank each
and every voter of Henry County
who has, is and will take an inte
rest in my behalf.
I feel confident, that when you
have listened to my appeal, when
you have discussed it at your
homes, talked it with your neigh-1
bors and given it your prayeilul
consideration that I will have no
cause to fear the results. With
kind regards to each and everyone,
I am truly your friend,
W. F. Hand.

Brown States Position.
To the voters of Henry Connty I
believe that the people who elect
their ttepresenative have theright
to know the position of one who
asks such election on questions af
fecting the peoples interest’s. And
when a particular county is forced
or may be forced by qnestions af
fecting distinct from
any interest of the people of other
counties, I believe it fair and
propea for n candidate voluntarily
to declare how he stands on these
measures.
Therefore I wish now-, both for
my present term as your Represen
tative and, if honored with re-el
ection, for my subsequent term or
terms of office, to pledge my active
opposition to creation of a city
court for our county with its
heavy expense of several thousand
dollars to be paid out the tax pay
ers pockets.
1 believe in adhering to the re
comenclation of onr official bodies
and carrying out their recomenda
tion as far as believed to be the
wishes of tlie people and when not
fully satisfied that the masses of
the people apprt ve a measure
then all bills to irclv.de the ratifi
cation clause, to be approved by
majority of people and that no of
flee shall be fillc d by appointment
but by an officer elected by the
people.
I oppose increased srliarys and
extravagant oppei aliens and be
lieve in safe and sound goverment
on economical principles.
