QUOTE IT ALL MR.
In an editorial in The News
of March 9 th we had the fol¬
lowing to say :
“What is the world coming to?
What will be the end if we select
men to fill the high offices of
state from the rabble seeking
such places?
There is not a man in the race
for governor but who is so infer¬
nal mean and treacherous that
we would be afraid to trust with
our money, The congressional
timber is in the same awful con¬
dition. Not a piece that would
split straight—knotty. Some of
it is doty to the heart, and ter¬
ribly “wind” shaken.
“THEA ROVE HISTORY OF
THE SEVERAL CANDIDATES
HAS KEEN GATHERED FROM
RE W SI’A PER REPO RTS
OVER THE STATE; PAPERS
THAT ARE FOR THE OTHER
FELLOW, OF COURSE.
“Every man has his faults”
but there is not a man living,
not barring the aspirants for
office, but has some good traits
A suck-egg dog has them, a rat¬
tle snake has them. Everything
has something good about it,
eyen the candidate; and in jus¬
tice to humanity there should be
something good suid about some¬
body sometime even if he does
want to go to congress or be
made governor.
The people want to know how
much good there is in a man who
wants to be made guardian of
their affairs, but they will never
know if it is left to the newspa¬
pers, for bitter vituperations and
long-winded spiels against every
t hing and everybody except their
especial favorite is the order of
tilings.
Suppose the world should turn
topsy turvy and after regaining
her equilibrium the order of
things should be so changed that
there would be no “backbiting’
and “bearingfalse witness” in it.
If we are not very much mista¬
ken, a great, thankful shout of
glory-halleluiah would be beard
in the land.”
In the above, it there is
one word more said about
one candidate than the other
we would like for some sen¬
sible man to point it out.
The editorial was written, we
will admit, while in a musing
mood as to how things in gen¬
eral were being run these
days—“every man for him¬
self and the devil for all” so
to speak, but to think sertous
ly of the matter, there is more
“truth than poetry” in it.
Our friend, The Calhoun
Times copied the said ediro
rial and out of all the people
who read both papers, (and
some of them have sense,
too) not one word of criticism
was uttered against the ai ti¬
de except by the Hon, G. W.
Tribble, school teacher cross
roads politician, and at pres
ent secretary of the Hoke
Smith club of Gordon county,
who has taken umbrage at
the article and either thinks
it is a direct throw-off on his
champion or is trying to mis¬
lead the people, and we pre¬
fer to believe the latter inas¬
much as he only quotes us
where it suits his purposes
best.
Read how he quotes us:
“There is not a man in the
race for governor but who is so
infernal mean and treacherous
that we would be afraid to trust
with our money. The congress¬
ional timber is in the same awful
condition. Not a piece that
would split straight-knotty.
Some of it is doty to the heart
and terribly wind-shaken.
“I admit The News does say
something about suck-egg dogs
and rattle snakes having some
good traits, but in no place does
it recant its first proposition.”
Now, we do not blame Mr.
Tribble for being for Hoke
Smith if he wants to be, nor
do-we blame any man for
having his choice. It’s a
man’s right as a free-born
American citizen to be for
whoever he pleases, but no
man has a right to misquote
people just for the sake of
trying to influence men to vote
for his especial favorite. If
we misquote any man, we
arc ready at any time to recti
fy 7 our mistake. If a man
quotes us w« would , , . be very
much obliged if he will use
all of our quotation and not
merely that part which suits
him best.
When “the people’s can¬
didate” gets to be governor,
and of course he will be if
we take the Atlanta Journal
for the proof, don’t forget to
come around to The News
office and have you some
cards printed before you start
to see your friend. When
you get there and ask to see
Mr. Smith, one of those
things he wants to disfran¬
chise will meet ton at the
door, drested in a jim-s winger
coat, and he will have some¬
thing in his hands that will
look something like a bread
tray. You place your card
in the tray and the “cullud
gerumen” takes it to the door
of his majesty’s private apart¬
ment There the name is
read and if you are worth the
while, you are given a few
minutes of his valuable time
but if you are just one of us
common fellows, why, “Guv¬
nor Smith is busy, sab.
It makes no difference how
it is done, if the negro is dis¬
franchised some white men
are in danger of losing their
votes too.

Dear Sir:—1 write to certify
as to the results obtained from
the use of Swift’s High Grade
Fertilizers. I used one ton of
Swifts Guano, (Golden Harvest

one of another make, high grade,
the same year on the same grade
of land, with indentically the
same cultivation, and I made
three full bales more where I used
Swifts Golden Harvest, The cot*
j on wag 0 f better grade and sold
for more money. Yours truly,
