Contemporaries differ as to tho spell ing of the title of tho Afghanlsan ruler. Some dub him "Ameer." Others "Amir." However by the time England gets through with him, perhaps they may all be able to unite on "Dennis”. of the two candidates for Governor of Georgia and certain reasons why Joseph M. Brown should be preferred to Hoke Smith and especially by the voters of Waycross and Ware county.

Moreover It Is well known by members of the legislature that while tre prohibition bill was pending he privately sought to Influence Its de feat, claiming among other things, that It would deprive the State of such a large proportion of Its reve- n*i . • to greatly embarrass his ad ministration, and everybody knows if he had vetoed the prohibition bill that it could and would have been passed over his veto.

Hon. Eb. T. Williams, of Atlanta, ia a speech at Dallas, Ga., last Friday, said: "Governor Smith had stated to Mr. Brown before he was a candidate for governor, that he would like to be gov ernor for one hour, to appoint him raiT road comissioner; that after Gover nor Terrell appointed Mr. Brown he congratulated Governor Terrell as hav ing made the best appointment of his administration.

When Hoko Smtta had under consid eration to run for United States Sena tor, ho virtually waved all ’’precedent" for aeefind term ns governor. It Is .not- a question of "precedent" but a question of "revolt" against an admin istration that the people are not sat isfied with. 8peaking of Hoke Smith’s recent speech In Amerlcua the Americus Re corder says: The governor of course put in his usual dttilal that he had anything to do with the panic. Nu. one ever-accused him of causing the panic. He knows tha> ^ thorough?? - . But he was a partner In bringing It on. His attacks on capital generally united, with tae attacks at Washing ton and In other states had as much to do with panic as anything else. Gov. Smith cannot avoid hia due share of responsibility. He tries to dodge It, but throughout the state there are thousands of men who will voce sgaiait him on thla ground alone. Smiths picture on them.—Brunswick Journal. Albeit the eggs when hatched will turn out Joe Drown*thickens. * Mr. Hoke Smith suld to Joseph M. Brown, *‘I would like to be governor of Georgia for one hour In order that 1 might appoint you n member of the | railroad commission." Afterwards when Governor Terrell did appoint him Mr. Smith said tuai it was the best appointment that Terrell had ev made, ami he congratulated him for making the appointment. Now in the face of these facts does any man believe (hat if Joe Brown had support ed Hoke Smith In his last ri governor that he would ever have been dismissed from tho commission? An swer this question true to yourselves and then sl/e up the governor that wo have today. THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG IN GEORGIA. There’s something wrong in Georgia. The people all complain; From the mountain tops of Rabun » the lumber camps of Wayne. From every nook and corner There comes a painful cry. From men by poverty depressed. Who a*k the reason why.

Tho most justice some men get the less they want to talk about It. There are times when the truth Is about as inspiring as a cold fried egg. A milliner feather’s her nest by put ting feathers on other women’s huts. A man may overtake a lot of peo ple on theqond to ruin, but he never meets anyone. When a woman tells her husband she wishes she had been born a man he Is'apt to echo the wish. : The difference between a “job" and | a "position" Is sometiems not even a matter of remuneration..

Morgan to* lay announced that $16,000,000 of Bur lington four pef cent mortgage bonds aad been sold and the subscription list was closed. Three times the amount wanted was subscribed. with the populists and joined in the But prohibition is crusade then being waged against rail- Georgia and nfiT road corporations and capital In gen eral and was elected Governor. At that time tae entire country was at the helghth of its greatest prosper ity. President Roosevelt was Invok ing the passage of the most stringent federal legislation against railroads and other corporations and the impo sition of the most extreme penalties upon them by the courts. At the same time Governor LaFollette, of Wis consin. Governor Folk, of Missouri, and later Governor Glen#, of North Curolina. Governor Comer of Alabama and other Northern and Southern Gov ernors, were favoring and having en acted most drastic State legislation, aimed especially at railroad corpora tions. With all of these Hoke Smith acted in concert. Capitalists, not ony In this country • but In Europe, became alarmed at their I investments in railroad securities and , began to unload taem on the market I and soon the crash came. I New York ns a great money center, naturally gave signs and bore eviden* , ce more perhaps than elsewhere ol the impending panic but from that great center It radiated until the whole country was more or less effected. Tae causes aforesaid which contributed to the panic so affrighted c&plial that railroad corporations as well as others became utterly unable to procure money upon their securities, hence they have been depressed and com pelled to siuWr ns the whole country has and the industrial improvements generally ha - teen forced t ruspend. Tlfe re-election of Hoke Smith for another term of two years would be a continuing and a standing menace against the further Investment of cap ital In Georgia, whereas the election of Joseph M. Brown would have the tendency to restore confidence and In vite the further and continued Invest ment of capital in this State in rail roads and other Industrial enterprises. When Brown became a candidate at the call of the people, this was-th* great and only issue to be made. As j ,• tho law of proposing to repeal cr modify it and so also has the disfranchisement amendment been passed by the legislature and only re mains to be ratified by tho people at the October election, and therefore neither of said questions have any place In the pending gubernatorial campaign. It has been shown that Joseph M. Brown Is a consistent life long pro hibitionist and in his first announce ment for Governor stated that lie was in favor of calntaining our Stnto pro hibition law*, and while stating that he would approve amendments thereto passed by the legislature In accord ance with the will of the people, he evidently meant amendments to strengthen and perfect the law’ be cause when the matter was presented to him In definite form he signed the pledge Hot only to maintain the pres ent prohibition law but to veto any amendment thereto, clearly meaning again any amenefcnent tending to weak on the law. Joe Brown has also stated that he not only favors but intends to vote for the disfranchisement amendment. The lawyers who filed the suit against the executors of the estate of Joseph E. Brown, say that they and their clients had full confidence In Joseph M. Brown and that said suit was directed solely at the mismanage- men on the part of Julius L. Brow It has been shown that Joseph M. Brow’n filled the positions he held with the Western and Atlantic R. R. Co., with such ability and Integrity that he was promoted and after long years of faithful service voluntarily retired; ami that when he was appoint ed by Governor Terrell on the* Rail road Commission and during all his service as a Commissioner, he was recognfzed as the ablest and best in formed man who ever held a position upon that board; and while Joseph M. Brown is iu favor of giving rail road corporations a square deal he also favors their proper regulations In the Interest of the people.

A Pulaski county farmer writes to the Macon Telegraph as follows: "The farmers of this section don’t relish the idea of the town fellows (who expect to get or hold a job under the Governor) coming out In the coun try and telling them to vote for Hoke Smith, who has fought the "Farmers' Union;" who went to Europe to work up immigration; whose administration slipped free passes to immigration agents, and who made cotton go down last fall by predicting a two-million- bale crop.
