GOVERNOR HOKE SMITH.
“This is a revolt,” said Louis
XV, when told of the uprising of
the French people.
“Sire.” replied Liancourt, it is
not n revolt—it is a revolution.”
Ami so it seems to have been
in the gubernatorial contest just
ended. It was not a mere at
tempt, to disrupt the organized
democracy of the state, or any
thing of that kind—it was a gen
eral uprising of the people, un
precedented in its proportions,
against the power of the rail
roads.
The disfranchisement issue
was, of course, an important fac
tor in the race—but it was Mr.
Hoke Smith’s fight, against the
growing power of the railroads,
against their unjust discrimina
tions in freights, and against
their influence over the legisla
ture of the state, that won with
the people.
It was one of the most sweep
jdRM!, victories ever recorded
*^ S yitics —in fact it was well
uifelG unanimous^ The people
— have- spoken wrsh oue voice,
might say, and have said that
they endorse Mr. Smith’s plat
form, that these reforms are
necessary, and that they will em
power him, as far as may lie in
his power, to go forward and put
them into effect.
The other candidates were bad
ly hampered, in that they were
on the negative side of the ques
tion ; they had no special issue
with which to go before tha peo
ple—and, indeed, they claimed
that under our present prosperi
ty, there was no reason why we
should not let well enough alone.
Mr. Smith, however, had a live
and burning issue, and, with his
powerful manner of presenting
it to the people, it carried con
viction to their hearts.
It remains to be seen how far
Mr. Smith will be able to carry
into effect the reforms that are
demanded. A good many things
that are promised on the hust
ings are afterwards forgotton or
cannot be made good. We be
lieve, however, that lie was sin
cere in his fight, and that he will
doaLLthaT may lie in his power,
as governor, to bring about the
things that he promised.
The railroad inlluence over the
legislature will undoubtedly be
weakened, and the lobbyists
will receive such another shaking
up as when E. K. Overstreet got
behind them two years ago.
The Telephone hopes that Gov
ernor Hoke Smith may be able
to see that such measures are put
into effect as will protect the
citizens of the state from the
growing power and greed of the
railroads—which is, after, all,
the greatest issue now before the
people.
DON’T HURRY YOUR COTTON.
The prospect for the cotton crop
in Screven this year is not encour
aging. Possibly there will be
half n crop made—hardly more.
But the government reports in
dicate that the crop is good in
other sectious of the south, and
the price has, consequently, gone
down—with the market still
weak, and further depression to
be expected.
The next report will probably
show the condition lower than
the last, one—but whether it
does or not, we believe that a
crop made on the basis of the
last report should easily be
worth ten cents net, and that it
will be, if the cotton is not rushed
on the market.
The Telephone believes that
the only wise policy for our far
mers to pursue is to market their
cotton slowly. If this is doue,
generally, cotton will regain its
strength, and will bring at least
ten cents, which it is certainly
worth, even with an 82 per cent,
crop.
Consider this matter gravely,
and talk it to your neighbors—
and don’t rush your cotton on
the market at the present price.
CONGRESSMAN J. W. OVERSTREET
Judge .T. W. Overstreet won
easily over nil his opponents, in
the race for the short term in
congress yesterday, and has
several votes to spare.
This is a high compliment to
Screven county and to her candi
date. Judge Overstreet made a
splendid race. He went into the
fight with that vigor and enthu
siasm which have ever character
ized his political career, and, con
fident of success, he won the race,
where there were no issues in
volved, by his own forceful and
popular personality.
He will serve the district well
in the time that he is her
sentative in the halls of congress.
The work of his predecessor will
be taken up with vigor, and no
interests of his people will
while he is there.
He l.dS honoip.Wy anil briHhn.t
ly won his congressional honors,
and will wear them worthily and
well.
The Telephone adds its con
gratulations to the mauv that
have come to Congressman Over
street. today.
BRANNEN AND SHEPPARD.
In the congressional race for
the regular term in this district,
Hon. J. A. Brannen, of States
boro, and Hon. W. W. Sheppard,
of Savannah, each seem to have
18 votes for the convention that
is to meet on the 30th, and, con
sequently, there will be a dead
lock in the convention from the
start. It is not likc.lv that the
friends of either gentlemen will
want to go over to bis opponent.
—and it is imposible to predict
what will be the outcome.
Some outside man may be nom
inated, and yet it would seem
hard for neither one of the gen
tlemen to get the nomination,
after the time and work they
have spent in campaigning. We
trust, that, some agreement may
be reached by which the tie may
be amicably loosened and with
out having to call in some wait
ing and a»piring Alexander
to cut the Gordian knot. They
are both nice, clean, high toned,
honorable gentlemen.
The latest reports show that
Hoke Smith carried 118 counties,
Russell 11, Howell 9, Estill 4 and
J. M. Smith 3. Hoke Smith will
have 304 out of 366 delegates in
the convention. Mr. Ferry, of
Hall, seems to have been right
when he said that Hoke Smith
marching through Georgia
Julius Caesar. We doubt if
conqueror of Gaul ever made
a clean sweep as this in his
victorious campaign.
To say the least of it. we are all
that it is over.
