Mr. Editor, As we have no reg
ular correspondent to yonr paper
from onr town, I will pen a few
lines to the Journal.
We are very much in need of
rain, but onr prospects for it, are
poor jnst now. Our farmers are
vigorously poshing their farm work
since dear weather has pat in.
Kathleen has a first-cl ass' black
smith shop now, and it is qnite
convenient to the farmers iu and
aronnd onr town. The shop is nn
der the management of Mr. Caper,
who guarantees satisfaction to his
cnstomers.
Our school is progressing nicely,
and is larger than it has ever been
before. We hope this year to be
the best school year that we have
ever bad, and may onr schools con
tinue to grow better every year.
The atmosphere about us is be
coming denser and denser with
politios as the final day approach
es, when no donbt almost nine
tenths of the boys will meet their
fatal doom politically for a while,
and politics will seem to them dis
gusting. Bat if you are defeated,
do not be discourgaed good men,
for you have the best wishes of
citizen, and perhaps you will have
several other appointments, and
you will succeed at last. Remem
ber. the old saying, “Try and tiy
again,boys,you will succeed at last.”
We have a good man in onr com
munity, who is a candidate for of
fice, and one of the most needy
men in the race.
Not only would a citizen vote an
honest vote, bat a charitable vote
also by supporting the man who
most needs the office. I take pleas
are in recommending the candida
cy of a good man.
' Heard and Dennard have a can
didate for clerk, jwho is a good
man. He is thorongly competent,
and wonld make the county a good
and efficient officer.
How many-good and competent
candidates coaid I mention ? Why
they are all good men, and would
fill theirgoffices with integrity.
Tberefnre we do -not like to vote
against any of them; consequently
we are somewhat on a quandary as
which men to support. Well, jwho
are they? They are men who are
most needful-. Help those, who
most need help, and we will be
come a people'of that which is the
greatest of all things to humanity,
charity. „ J. W. Tayeob.

Mb. Editob:
On : Wednesday of last week,
Judge Allen Fort addressed the
voters of Houston ‘County at ^Per
ry, advocating his claim for Con
gress/ Although it had been an-
nounced the afternoon before, and
before the noon recess of court on
Wednesday, he surely must have
been surprised at the small andi
ence present and the little interest
manifested in bis.address. Judge
Fort claimed that he had been in
public life for twenty years. We
all know that be has been a Judge
of the Superior Court, and a law
yer probably for even a longer pe
riod than twenty years. It was
but natural then that a finished ad
dress should have been expected.
That his speech was disappointing
in its effect and that it aroused no
enthusiasm on his behalf, cannot
be denied. His attack on the rec
ord of Congressman, Lewis was
simply ludicrous. He stated Lew
is had done nothing. Voters of
Houston county, I ask you, I ap
peal to you to look unto the record
made by Congressman Lewis. His
record is before yon, and it is the
equal of any of the Georgia Con
gressmen, none! excepted. Is' it
yonr verdict that he has done noth
ing? I feel sore that a large ma
jority of the voters of Houston
connty will on May 15th next de-
dare that he has accomplished
something, and that be is eminent
ly fitted for a seat in the next Con
gress.
Each constituent, if nnbiased or
unprejudiced, will testify to bis
nntiring zeal- and energy in their
behalf when called upon to advance
their (interests. He has been at
tentive always to any demand made
upon him by any constituent.
Judge Fort arraigned Congress
man Lewis (as be says) for voting
to seat Roberts the polygamist.
He then says he presumes be
would have voted to expel him af
terwards. Judge Fort well knows
that Lewis would have done so, if
the opportunity had presented it
self. Mr. Lewis claimed it was
without precedent to expel one
coming with the legal credentials
as congressmen elect. Mr. Lewis
urged that it was not constitution
al for congress to expel Roberts
before he had become a member of
that body.
Yet the Hon. Allen Fort sees fit
to cry out in a loud voice to the
citizens of Houston connty to pro
tect their firesides and that the
mormon elders traversing the dis
trict should feel encouraged. Could
anything be more fancied?
Judge Fort forgets that the peo
ple of Houston are a reading peo
pie, he far forgets himself when
he thinks they may be misled by
such statements. It is an imputa
tion on the good sense, the up
rightness, and the sense of justice
of the citizens of Houston county.
Another charge was Mr. Lewis vo
ted $20,000,000 to Spain for the
Philippines. This was thought at
the time to be the most expedient,
and was voted for after having
been considered in caucus by the
democrats. In this, as in every
other vote, he was true to his par
ty. Judge Fort says be did not in
troduce a bill against trusts. I say
without fear of contradiction that
E. B. Lewis in his record has ever
been fonnd against the trusts and
in favor of the people. Judge Fort
was fair enough to say that Lewis
introduced and advocated a bill to
repeal the stamp tax, but he was
unfair when he said it was for the
relief of the banks. Voters of
Houston, you very well know that
when a check is given you in pay
ment for cotton, corn or other
produce, the value of the revenue
stamp is in the price paid. There-
fore it was for the benefit of all
tbaftbis bill was introduced. In
thife matter, as in all others, Hob,
E. B Lewis will be fonnd voting
and working for the interests' of
the people. How Judge Fort coaid
over have dared attack his record
is a matter of surprise. He ought
surely to know that he could not
attack the record of Mr. Lewis
without its recoiling upon him and
redonnding to the advantage of
Mr. Lewis. Citizens of Houston,
arouse yourselves and repel each
insinuations and statements at the
the ballot box on the 15th of Msy.
The record of Mr Lewis in con
gress is good, and hepis not afraid
that yon;will not endorse it. Judge
Fort tells you Mr. Lewis has ac
complished but little in bis short
term of public life. I would like
to inquire what has Judge Fort ac
complished in his 20 years of pub
lic life? Dobb his acts as a legisla
tor, Superior court judge, railroad
Commissioner, or the speeches he
is now making in the district,
commend him to you as a desira
ble congressman?
From all parts of the county, in
fact from all parts pf the districtj
comes the encouraging news that
Hon. E. B. Lewis will be returned
to congress by larger majorities
than ever before. 'M ■
Voters of Houston, the result is
with you. v S.

POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS.-
For Solicitor General.
To the People of Houston Comity:—
I desire to announce that I am a can
didate for nomination for. the office of
Solicitor General of the Macon circuit,
at the democratic nomination on May
15th. If I receive the nomination, it will
be the prime object of my official career
to so fill the office that when I retire
therefrom you will say to me, “Well
done good and faithful servant.”
Marmaduke G. Bayne.
I hereby announce myself a candidate for the
position of Solicitor General of the Macon Cir
cuit, subject to the democratic primary.
Respectfully, Jas. P: DUNCAN.
I hereby announce myself a candidate for So
licitor General of the Macon Circuit, subject to

HOER-BOLHILL,
For State Senator;
To the Democrats of HonstonlCounty:
Taylor, Crawford Oo„ Ga., April 17,1900
I take this method to solicit your con
sideration of the fact that through the
Solicitation of many friends I have al
lowed my name to go before the people
of the 23d Senatorial district. This no
donbt will be thejlast, as it is truly the
first time I ever allowed my name to
go before the public; but should I be
honored by the people, I pledge myself
to not be fonnd wanting, to do any and
all things that there is a possibility to
do, for I well know and sincerely believe
that.it is high time a move was made by
the good people of this great state to
lower taxes and build up the farming in
dustry that is the driving wheel to all
theindustries of the nation.
I am and ever have been a democrat
and do believe it, and its, principles exe
cuted, is the only safeguard to the up
building of this Southland. My father
was one of the first settlers of this coun
ty in 1828, and this portion of the county
has never had a senator, and only three
repreresentatives since it was a county.
So by the rotation rale I can but think
we should have, a portion of thejrepresen-
tation. In conclusion I fappeal to the
good people of the district to give this
old Confederate a good support, as the
time will soon come when their presence
will be no more. Mr. Walker, my oppo
nent, has been honored, and he, ffeing a
young man,can still have time to appear
before the people of this district in the
fntnre. I think my record as a farmer
will vindicate my claims. I refer the
people who do not know me to the fol
lowing gentlemen who are personally
acquainted with me: Fort Valley, O. M.
Houser, F. Gj Houser, O. H. Miller. A.

that I will be remembered in the coming
primary, .1 leave this for your due con
sideration. Tours most obediently,
James Taylor
