A Wise Precaution
The day before she was to be
married the old negro servant came
to her mistress and entrusted her
savings in her keeping. “Why
Should I keep it? I thought you
were going to get married,” said
her mistress. “So I is, Missus,
but do you ’spose I’d keep all dis
* money in the house wid that
strange nigger?”—(From “Success
Magazine.”)

THE FITZGERALD LEADER FRIDAY, JULY 1, 1910
“Who Made Hell?” is a ques-
tion that seems to be bothering the
Missourians mightily. It makes
no difference who made it St. Louis
as come very near perfecting it,”
says an exchauge. Maybe so. But
some people in the grand old Em¬
pire state of Georgia think we’ve
mighty near got the real thing in
the perpetual politicgl mix-uy we
here. If it wasn’t for what we hear
of Texas and Tennessee, both of
which are mixing their politics and
prohibition, wc would feel like en¬
tering Georgia for the blue ribbon.

Brown’s Friends Are
Enthusiastic
Atlanta, Ga., June 29.—Judge
Hart’s announcement as a candi¬
date for governor seems to have
had the effect of stirring all Gover¬
nor Brown’s friends to action
throughout the state.
The governor has received let¬
ters from nearly every couuty in
Georgia during the last few days.
Clubs are being formed spontane¬
ously, old ones are being reorgan¬
ized, and the fullest assurances of
his re-election are being given.
The best reports come from the
country counties, indicating that
the farmer vote believes in “15-
cent cotton and Brown.” In all
the reports received hv the gover¬
nor there is not one indicating any
notable loss from his ranks, while
from nearly every county comes
reports that prominent men who
have formerly I men for Smith will
stand for Brown this year.
The following are a few excerpts
from communications received
during the past few days:
Colquit County—Although I am
sorry that he (Mr. Smith) finally
decided to make the race, for busi¬
ness will almost be suspended all
over the state for the next- sixty
days, but I feel sure that he will
be beaten worse than two years
ago. I have heard a good many
here in the city today say that he
would be beaten, and some of them
were for him two years ago, and
one in particular who signed the
petition from here sometime ago
asking him to run.
Walton County—You can count
on Walton county to come up with
a much larger vote than last time.
Newnan- I believe old Georgia
will come up properly at the pri¬
mary and give you a satisfactory
majority,
Glynn County—I feel quite con¬
fident Mr. Smith will be defeated
far worse than inthe first instance.
Johnson County—Personally be¬
ing in position to hear considerable
argument and discussion about the
gubernatorial campaign, many ex¬
pressions have come to me and
this office, and while 1 admit that
there are some Hoke Smith sup¬
porters in this county, yet I hon¬
estly believe, judging from the re¬
ports that you will get a better
vote in this county than you did
two years ago.
A Small town in Carroll County
This is a small place and there are
only 30 votes and you will get 15
of them, I think. In the la^t elec¬
tion you got 8 and Smith 21.
Troup County—It looks now as
if Troup intends to quit sinning
and return to her father’s house.
There seems to be no enthusiasm
among the Iioke Smith men, near
ly all of them regret that he has
consented to make the race,
Houston Couuty—I am genuine¬
ly surprised that he has ‘yielded’
after thrice declining. I thought
he was sincere in his first declara¬
tion. It goes without saying that
I and your other friends here will
support you in this campaign.
Today, without any effort to se¬
cure such information, I learned
that four prominent men who were
strong for Smith inthe 1908 cam-
paign, f. have declared their inten-
tion to . vote . for „ Brown ,, ... this
year, ’
and ... there are others. Houston
will ... surely , go tor ,. Brown. ..
If rom a former Hoke Smith
(a , prominent South Georgia ,,
man
drummer)—I , . T note ... that will ...
you
have opposition for a second term,
If I can bo of any service to you V
command , me. G We will ... take .
care

Randolph , , County-You are
stronger here than you were two
years ago.. 1 have inquired
aiound and find that Smith has lost
some of his raostactivesupporters,
Ware County-Hart’s announce-
ment makes no change here except
in your favor.
Irwiii County— I think that we
will carry Irwin county this time,
as ail of your friends in this sec-
tion are lining up in good shape
Wilkes County—“Mr. Smith
does not seem to realize that he)
was defeated before, and it will be
necessary to convince him with a
still more crushing defeat.”
Dodge County—“So far as this
section of wire grass Georgia is
concerned you have nothing to
fear from again going before the
people for an endorsement of your
administration. Our county, I
am sure, will go for you by a larg¬
er majority than it did two years
ago.”
Banks County—“My father and
four brothers are for you.”
Decatur County—“While we
confidently believe you will be re¬
elected, we shall work as hard as
we did when you first made the
race before the politicians learned
the mettle you had.”
Lowndes Count y—“Your
chances seem better than they
were in 1908.”
Baldwin County—“We have
certainly lost no ground here.”
Charlton County—“You can de¬
pend on our little county being in
the doe Brown column. 1 think
that Governor Smith’s friends will
line up with us this time.”
Polk County — “You will carry
this county two to one easy.”
Jones County—“Your friends
in this county are taking an active
part for you.”
Telfair County—“Three men
from the country, on the day of
Smith's announcement, were in
my office and stated that two years
ago they voted for Mr. Smith, but
this time they would support Gov¬
ernor Brown, I have heard others
express themselves in like manrier.
You will carry this county.”
Washington County—“It looks
very much like Brown down this
way,”
Stewart County—“We expect
to carry this County for you.”
Walton County—“The county
will go for you in about the same
proportion as it di<^ before.”
Ware County—“Your friends
here are in the saddle.”
