Something has given your political spine such a twist that no Cowetan expects you to survive the campaign unless you come over to Handy and drink at the fountain ot political patriot ism and cleanse your system of those germs that are sapping you of county pride and that spirit of “tit for tat” that should permeate your whole political nature. “In the Candler - Berner - Atkinson campaign Howell and Handy sup ported the same candidate.” Ke dron, that was a stretch of your imagination unwarranted by the thought, word; or act of the young est politician in our- bailiwick. Spencer R. Atkinson got th ; e solid Democratic vote of the district. Three or four Populists voted for Howell s man. Howell very wise ly stood with Handy in the Ter rell-Estill-Guerry race. However, Handy was there first; Howell came later. Kedron, in all sober ness, do you think that Howell was “a most honorable opponent” of our friend when he called him a “curly-headed upstart”?

It also brings to the tore the important question, Will Uncle Joe Hall indorse himself ns the “reform” candidate for gov ernor? Tilmati Dewberry returned last fairly opposing him when he put counties that had clearly gone for Atkinson in the Evans column in order to make it appear that Fv- ans was in the lead? Howell’s pa per did this and more. This was not news, because it wasn't the truth. The news is the truth, al ways was and always will be. If Howell wasn’t the bitterest enemy Gov. Atkinson , had in the State, then who was?

That’s where we are against him in this race, and that’s where he’ll get it in the neck in this district. Now, Whitesburg, a word to you and we are through: To all _you say and want for Mrs. Atkin son we say amen! But .we fearj you have overshot the mark when ; you say, “I, with all Carroll county come cheerfully, willingly and earnestly to her assistance and buqtbly request the sGevcmor to givch‘£r the ItjfaJlhtmenfc”’ “No doubt but you are sincere in this, but are you sure about all Carroll county? We notiiced some weeks ago that one of your county papers was outspoken for a Coweta appli cant tor librajian, but it wasn’t Mrs. Atkinson. Labor with your compatriots over there and get them to see things as you see them and you'll make us feel good on that score. Carroll is a great big place, you know. It is some times called the "free State,” and when we hear a village correspond ent of a country weekly say "I, with al! Carroll," it makes us feel like we did when we looked up Kedron on the map. Go ahead tor Howell in your “burg"; if we can save Kedron we’ll thank the, ’stars. However, it is but fair that you limit your “pull" to a smaller area, we know other politicians in the “Free State” who would want to claim part of the honor. Hon. J. B.
