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- 12 More Than 300 A Day That Number Must Register Every Dayif AH Entitled To Register Do So.

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. OAKLAND. It seems like good old summer time is almost here again.

Georgia, Friday april i, 1910. March 28t.h, by militia District's. The List shows that 58 new names have been added to the list of those entitled to agister not on former lists With only 4 more days until the registration books close, the voters will have to register at the rate of 358 every day in order for all to be registered. 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. R. C, Brown. Mrs. A. F. Lemon will leave Tuesday for Lawrenceville as a delegate from the Missionary So ciety of the McDonough Presbyte rian church to the Presbyterial Union which meets there. Mr John S.
