CHARLTON COUNTY HERALD VOL. X.--NO. 49, * ~ P J 1 ATOES PAY. s s Our farmer friends should mow get busy and plant the largest sweet potato crop ever raised in Charlton county as they are aware of the fact that potatoes grown here alwavs bring a good price and are ready sale, and as the season advances the price increases. Only a few dzys ago Re‘_v. W. 0. Gibson and others shipped a car that net'ed then twenty cents per bushel. To tatoes keep well in this climate and there is no better and surer way to realize a handsome profit on farm ing than to raise something that commands the cash at profitabie{‘ figures. A Jollar’s worth of stuff sold away from home puts that much more money “into circulation at home. Think of the vast amount of money that would be brought here if our farmers only had one hundred cars or more of sweet po tatoes to turn ioose on the market now. It would bring aad put mon ey into circulation here which at present we cannot reach. - ‘ Every farmer within reach of% Folkston should put in this year at least five acres of sweet potatoe&l to each plow. The grand secret of success for this section is to raise something to sell. and we do know that potatoes are profitably grown here in this favored section. All we need to make this the wealthiest part of Geurgég is to grow enough potatoes and other vegetables That will briny money here, According to previous arrange ments the supporters of Jos, M. Jrown met at the court house last weather was very threatening there was a good cized crowd present. ‘the club was organized with Mr. T.L. Pickren as chairman and L.E, Mallard, Secretary. After some very good speeches made by differ ent ones, giving:their reasons why Jue Brown should be supported for Gavernor. 1 The Club, which now numbers! about scventy five members, ad journed in the very best of spiritsAl This connty did not go for Gov.l Smith two years ago and will not this time although he is some strong er now than he was then, Bpeaking of bonding Charlton | County for the purpose of improv ing our schools ana public roads, we have frequently heard different ones say, *Oh, ycu couldn’t sell Charlton County bonds for any thing near their value.”” To show to the public that our bonds would be of value and sought after, we re-pro duce one of a number of letters re ceived by clerk Vickery, TROWBRIDGE & NIVER CO (INCORPORATED) ~ MunicieaL Bonps CHICAGO : FIRST NAT, BANK BLDG.

As soon as he opened the door his wife began up ra.ding him for his conduct. Jones went to bed aod when almost asleep could hear her scolding him un mercifully. He dropped off to sleep and awoke after a couple of hours, only to hear his wife remark: ““I hope all the women don’t have to put vp with such conduct as this,” “Annie,” said Jones, ‘‘are youl talking again or yet?”-—Fx.

E. MALLARD, Secry. Board County Commissioners. Ae,ST B YA Lack of space forbids the repro duction of the double column edito rial of the Valdosta Times, showing Gov. Hoke Smith’s part in the present money stringeacy. ~ The editor of the Times says he was once a staunch follower of Hoke Smith, and when it was announced three years ago that he would be a 'candidate for Governor against Clark Howell the Times fell into line for Smith, It says, “We fol lowed him up to his Madison speech ‘when his announcement was made. His platform as set forth there was 50 revolutionary and so dangeious to the best interests of Georgia that the Times could follow him no fur ther.” It goes on fto cite many things said and demauded by Mr. Smi:h, which, putinto practice were hurtful to Georgia. For instance, let us demand that legislation be passed which will prevent the opera tion of railroads in Georgia by for eign corporations, We favor in creasing the powers of the Railroad Commission to that it can enforce its orders by suitable, swift and certain procedute. He also urged a gross income tax of one per cent on the gross income tax. The Times further says, “It was a poli tician panic pure and simnple, Hoke Smith was responsible for it only so far as he was able. In view of - bis record the investing world has no! confidence in him. I FOLKSTON, GA THURSDAY, APRIL 30 1908. t SECOND CALL.

L2t it be remembared iat he was there as a candidate for kofwi ernor, and not as the chief e:t@tu;_g;; tive of the state. o : ,; It should be remembered that. s‘u_;f Brown was dismissedt from the office of railroad commniissioner wz:hont: hearing; and that within the week Governor Smith and his e ‘ The Atlanta Journal have % lutter,.and, as we believe, uncalfed. for attacks on Mr. Brown, - The lemon incident occured after he had boarded the car for Atlé’ntfl;“ A young man who had recently eome here from an adjoining state, t_)assec‘.'l a lemon to the governor thru the car! window, the governor beéing -seated near the front of the car smoking a cigar. This incident is regretted: here, ; 5 i It may as well be recognized that |Cobb county is overwhelmingly for Brown; aany claim to the contrary bg— ing merely hot air. The opposition to the governof seems to have been a spoutaneous uprising in the (':Q'un;j try districts, which is fully shared in by the townspeople. 3 When the governor visits our town as chief executive of the state, .and, nnt as a candidate who abuses a leading citizen, he will be treated with all the courtesy and respect that a polite and refined commu,n;i_t:y" can show a great officer. i ‘ ’ Griffin News. 1k { By the way, we never heard of but one job that IToke Smith ever had, which was under Cleveland, and he got fired from that. When he gets !fired from the governorship his re. cord in that line, considering the size of Lis jobs, will be fully equal to Little Joe’s.
