We like to see people take in an interest in the politics of the city, goverment and public affairs, for it shows a wide-a wake, progressive spirit. But we take the liberty of differing in some matters. We conede to all | yote it down and I tell them most assur a good one. We have yet to hear the first question as to the integrity or honesty of purpose of either of the pre sent officials. Hence the wisdom of electing them to another term in office. As to clerk and treasurer I am for the present encumbent against all others. With the burJensome rate of taxa tion the taxpayers hope the city and county indebtedness is being diminish ed. Granting free franchises to rich com panies would bring on more talk and when improvements are needed the tax payers favor first raising the money so as to save interest and I tell them that is my way of financiering. City and county taxpayers are aware that a largo percent of their tax money i goes to pay interest and to redeem bonds which ought never to have been issued, hence they say if a proposition is offered to Issue more bonds they will Georgia cane syrup in cans, try one.

Give me a trial and if not satisfied I will not ask you to come again. Millodgeville is making wonderful slxidea in wealth, in progress, in educa tion'. and in nearly every line of progress.

However, when it comes to thequestion of issuing bonds for improvements we are for them. Thu idea advanced by Mr. Roberts that taxes will frighten away people vanishes when placad beside paved streets, good water plen'y of light and power on an fair basis. We believe we can assure the tax pay ors that the present improvement on the streets is being made without borrowing money for the specific pur pose and, of course, without bonds. In fact we believe the cost is below that ever made by and city and this came about through skillful administra tion of the city’s affairs coupled with the strange favors, of fortune thrown by circumstance into the lap of Mil- ledgeville. When you issue bonds of schools you build up the intellect of vour communi ty, when you issue them for street im provement yon double the valus of your property and attract newcomers, when edly 1 am with them and will be in the line. In a nutshell the taxpayers want offi cials who can and will pull the city and county out of debt and establish a low rate of taxation. Then and not until then many will come to our city and county to live. W. H. ROBERTS. To the Public, We wish to say that we have com pleted onr electric ginnery, and solicit your patronage.
