But didn’t Wills put Hokey be
tween the devil and the deep bine
sea.
“Who would yon vote for for sena
tor?” and “Who gets the ‘charity’
from the Piedmont bar?" are the
questions that Hoke must confront
until he has the manhood to answer.
They will not down.
Charlie Adamson, of the fourth
district, is trying to have an appro
priation made to continue the free
distribution of seed by the govern
ment. Charlie wants something for
his colleagues to do besides drawing
their saleries. Good boy.
Sam Jones has been both for Clark
Howell and Hoke Smith within a
week. That sure settles their hash.
Now if he wont “be” for Russell be
fore the primary is over, his election
is assured. Sarnie has the best hind
sights and the poorest fore sights of
any living creature.
Clark Howell carried Crisp county
on Monday of last week, according to
the Atlanta Constitution: Hoke
Smith carried it on Wednesday fol
lowing, according to the Atlanta
Journal, and Estill put it in his pock
et on Friday, according to the Sa
vannah News, and Dick Russell will
carry it on the day of the primary,
when it will stay “carried.”
“We love Judge Russell.”—Alphar
etta Free Press.
Yes. with a love that
•Damns with faint praise, assents
with civil leer,
And. without sneering, teaches the
rest to sneer,
Willing to wound, and yet afraid to
strike,
Just hints a fault, and hesitates dis
like.”
Darn such affection. Dump it in
the slop barrel.
Senator Tillman says that the
South Carolina election laws, which
are designed to disfranchise the ne
groes, just as Hoke Smith proposes
to do in Georgia, exclude one-third
of the white voters from the polls.
While this is true, thousands of edu
cated negroes are allowed to vote,
and a negro is now contesting the
seat of Congressman Legare, claim
ing that he was elected and counted
out.
Russell Leads at Bethlehem.
The Tribune’s Bethlehem corres
pondent sends us the following inter
esting item in reference to the gub
ernatorial race:
'A ballot was taken by E. J. Harris
for governor and the result was Rus
sell, 23; Smith. 5; Howell, l.—Wal
ton Tribune.
Russell in Talbot.
Judge Russell is certainly going to
be in the running in Talbot county.
He has friends in every district and
some of the districts of the county
are almost solid for him. There are
a great many people in Talbot county
who will not vote for Clark Howell
or Hoke Smith and they have about
decided on Judge Russell as their
choice—Talbotton New Era.
Another Straw.

News-Herald: Inclosed find check
to pay my subscription for your
valuable paper.
For your imformation, as to the
political situation, I beg to submit a
poll made on a smoking car on the
Southern railway train Monday
morning last. Howell six, Russell
three, Hoke Smith two, Jim Smith
one, non committal three, these
I am satisified are Howell men.
Hoke Smith is not gaining ground
in North Georgia.

HAU HOKE IN THE NINE HOLE.
While speaking at Cnmming,
Forsyth county, last Monday, Col. j
Wills, county school commissioner
fired this Question at Hoke Smith :
“In the event Hon. A. 0. Bacon
and|Thomas E. Watson are con-j
h‘-.iants for United States sena
tor from Georgia, which one would
you support?”
As a large majority of the aud
ience were ex-populists, this put
Hokie in the “nine hole.” and lie
squirmed like an impaled eel, but
finally tried to pull out by saying
that he “did not believe that
contingency would arrive, but
should it arrive, would then say
what he would do, and did not
think he should now be called on
to announce who he would sup
port.”
This display of moral cowardice
and political dishonesty disgusted
the audience, as there was not a
man present who did not know he
would support Bacon, as Smith is
as strong a democrat as he ever
was, while Watson puts in his
spare time on wet day 9, when he
has nothing else to do, cussing the
“damnable democracy.”
The ex-populists know that he is
acting the hypocrit to catch their
votes, and are too shrewed to he
taken in in that way. They un
derstand why he is re-vamping old
populistic doctrines just as well
as he doos, and are too well
posted to be caught with such
bait.
* When he spoke at this place a
prominent ex-populist remarked:
“That was the best populist speech
that I have heard in a long time,
but, darn him, he made it too
late. When we needed him no
man in Georgia fought us more
bitterly. The worst lambasting
the populists ever got in Gwinnett
county was given them by him
right here in Lawrenceville.”
From A Traveling Man.
The man who beats Dick Russell
will be governor. The man who
does not vote for Russell is the man
who does not know him.
I travel ten or twelve counties and
I find the men at the stations for the
other candidates, but in the country
I find Russell solid.
The other day I was at a sawmill
in Hart where a poll was
proposed and of eleven men seven
were for Russell, one for Hoke Smith
two for Jim Smith and one non com
mittal.

Scooters Scoot For Russell.
Sawyer’s Mill, Ga., March 3. 1906.
Mr: Editor: If you will allow me
space in your columns I will write a
few words in reply to an inquiry
which I noticed in the Gwinnett
Journal last week. The writer want
ed to know if we had ever made a
scooter scoot and what kind of a mule
did we plow. Some of us have made
scooters scoot and all of them scoot
ed for Dick Russell and all the Rus
sell men plow fine black mules not
over eight years old. We have one
Hoke Smith man In our community
who plows an old sway back iron
grey mare with a knot on her left ear
and he hasn’t got his scooter to scoot
ing yet. Hurrah for Dick Russell
and our scooters will keep on scoot
ing for him. Yours truly,
H. F. M’Curdy.

At the office of the Gainesville
Lumber Company a ballot box was
prepared last Monday morning and
kept there until Saturday afternoon,
when it was opened in the presence
of a large crowd and the ballots
counted.
No one knew how any one voted,
each ballot being prepared by each
voter and dropped in the box, which
was sealed, only an opning large
enough for the ballot being cut in the
box. The count, duly certified to by
tellers, showed the following.

THE NEViT-“FRAUD.
The Taking
Cold Habit
The old cold goes; a new one
quickly comes. It’s the story
of a weak throat, weak lungs,
a tendency to consumption.

The Common People.
Since Judge Russell saw fit to eulo
gize himself in his speech as beiug
the only great champion of the com
mon people and most outrageously
abused Hoke Smith, the Gwinnett
Journal will from time to time at
tempt to show his attitude to the
common people.
In what we shall say, we propose
to tell the plain, unvarnished truth,
facts known to reliable arid honor
able men of tiiis county and which
can be established.
We begin this little series of plain
statements by showing the judge’s
attitude toward the common people
in the court room.
It was his rule fur eiirht years that
only the court officials, preachers,
doctors and newspaper men should
be allowed to sit inside the bar, thus
excluding practically nearly all the
tax payers of the county to whom the
court house belongs.
This is enough for the first dose for
the common people who have been
promised rocking chairs in the gov
ernor’s mansion when Russell gets
there.—Gwinnett Journal.
We have observed for some time
the unmitigated filth the Gwinnett
Journal has been spreading over its
editorial page in regard to the guber
natorial campaign.
For some unknown reason this
spread eaglet of cheap journalism
has got his feathers ruffled at every
thing and everybody. His milk of
human kindness seems to have clab
bered and allowed to set over night
until it was too late to churn it.
His latest stunt, which we copy
above, is the limit. This appeal di
rected to the lowest prejudices that
could animate a rational human be
ing, passes the bounds of belief.
That an editor could become so
steeped in filthy politics as to make
this kind of appeal will astonish his
most ardent fellow filth slingers.
Bro. Bagwell sees the sign and
hears the approaching deluge. He
coupled himself on to what
he thought was the greasy end of a
gravy train, and it is about to turn
out to be swill from the slop tubs of
his Royal Master of the Piedmont
bar.
We do not know the good citizens
of Gwinnett county but we gather
from the News-Herald that they have
not all followed Bro. Bagwell to the
swamp. Whether Bro. Bagwell has
his meals sent to him or comes out at
night to get them we do not know,
but we are sure that no environment
could produce the kind of editorials
he is ustng save a seat in the swamp
on a damp log, with the croak of
frogs and the swish of the tadpoles
from which to catch inspiration.—
