CHARLAON™ COUNTY HERALD VOL. X.--NO. 50. JOS. M. BROWN FOR GOVERNOR. The time has arrived when the Herald should choose between the two candidates and its readers are entitled to know our reasons for so declaring ourselves. Our main reason for not favoring Gnv.'S}nitfi' for another term is, candidly speaking, we do mot be lieve he is._-s'in'élc‘ré mn what he claimg to be. " We take-him to.be a shrewd politician, ’adygc(éting" such “meas ures as he thinke wilt -earry- most votes for him. That heis respon ~sible in part for'the present strained fiaancial ¢ondition none can suc cessfuliy deny His platform as set forth. in his. Madison speech, published in the Atlanta Journal, printed in pamph let form and seat out is sufficient argument to convince any reason ablé thinking voter. - Hear what he said twe years ago: ‘‘Let us demand that -legislation be passed which - will prevent the operation of railroads in Georgia by foreign corporatiors. The fre quently suggested proposition of domesticating toreign corporations. would be ineffective. - North Caro lina passed sach legislation and the United States Supreme court - held that it did not chapge the citizen ship ot foreign corperations. ¢ If, however, we forbid the op . «ration of railroads in Georgia by foreign corporations, or non-resi dent citizens, those foreign’ corpor ations which own the railroads will be forced to sell tliem or lease them to corporations vrganized in Geor ~gia, apd this course will efectually haing all tailogdg within. the, gtata into the hands of domestic corpofra tions.” ' . 5o 'That was a fine scheme wasn’t 1t? force the railroads to sell t¢ Geor gians. There i$ not a.sage man in Gieorzia today who does not know that when you drive capital out you shut the factory doors Al}a{the re sult is, depression at once ' sets in. But listen again¥* “I have insisted that -the :state should not pe*mit a foreign corpor ation to perform service which in volves a public duty. An act pro viding for domesticating foreign railroad corporations would amount‘ to nothing. Any state, however,‘ can forbid a foreign corporation from overating a railroad in the st s -~ “We take tne following - from the Valdosta Times, which e«presses our opinicn as well as we could tell ity Now, trace out the result? The tide of money which usually flows this way to move the cottcn and corn crops was used to take up the securities “of railroad corpora tions, Discredited securities were dumped upon the market, It was “up to” our financiers’ to protect them or the whole commercial fab ric would collapse. The Secretary of the Treasury rushed to the rescue with $200,000,000 of certificates. The banks throughout the South issued “certificates” to tide over until European money could reach this country to pay for the cotton and grain that was being shipped. It was a “politician’s panic” pure and:simple. It was caused by a war on capital all over the covntry. Hoke Smith was responsible for it only so far as he was able. He is a maa of much force, much ability— of great talent, [l'herefore, he must bear much cf tne blame, In view of his record, the invest ing world has no confidence in him “Foreign capital” will not go where it is notinvited and given protection. His re election would mean a con tinuation of present conditions in Georgia. It would mean a handi cap upon Georgia industries and an up-hill fight for Georgia tarmers. | But a change will come, | Ihe election of Joseph M. Brown | would give assurance to “foreign’ in vestors that their money is wanted in Georgia. It would mspite confi dence at home as well as abroad. It would be like breaking the shackles that bind the prisoner or apening the door on a caged bird. It would show that the people of Georgia ate tired of the ‘AU!OCRACY OF ORATORY’ and are ready to turn their faces toward the DEMQ(C RACY OF DEEDS.’ ~This™is site issne clearly defined. Mt. Smith tries to get away from it, but he cannot do so. The people will hold-him to it.” - __Governor Smith now tries to shift ‘the main issues of this “campaign by throwing mud at Mr. Brown and has endeavored to create a wrong impression on the public mind by calling him the Ring Whiskey can didate, which he knows not to be true.. We here’ produce a letterl written *to the Macon Telegraph from Cordele, Ga. It says: “I heard a Smith supporter and a Brown man in an argument today, The Smith boaster sprang that old whiskey gag, and about the Brown heirs taking the management of the estate out of Brown’s hands. The Brown man listened attent.vely un til the Smith supporter had finished his argument, Then he said, “My friend, to be plain, you don’t! know what you are talking about I have lived in Atlagta for many years and know every member of the Brown | family weli. All this gush about Joe Brown being a whisky man is as big,{ a lie as ever was started, and I willi tell you here why the estate was taken out of Mr. Brown’s hands, viz: The estate. owned a house in Atlanta that was really fit for nothing else only to be used for that purpose. It was jocatedirightiing a - I;§§ y part of t!u:c{i;fwJr 1g)1d o ‘fif:wn{”:% it to sell liquor m? No. He kept this building closed for many, months— paymg taxes on it—without receiv ing one nickel from the rent of it. His brother, Julis, and other mem bers of the family kicked, and m sisted that he rent the bnilding for this purpose.” Joe said no, that he' would never rent a building that hc} had control of to run a bar room in. And then, the balance of the chil-? dren complained about the house being locked up for months, and not even receivag enough from it to} pay the taxes on the building. So they began to mutter about the mat ter and became dissatisfied; so Joe turned over the eatate to his brother Juitus, and just as he got :ontrol of! it he rented it for whisky purposes, Now,” continued the Brown man, does this incident look like Joe Brown ie such an advocate of whis ky as_he has been pictured? These are facts, and I would make an affi davit to them if necessary.”’ “The Smith supporter replied: | - *““Well, if you have told me facts— and I have noreason to doubt them— you have changed one Smith man to 2 Joe Brown man. I have never| héard the straight of giving up thel estate and the whisky business be fore, and from now on I will wear the Joe Brown button, and on the 4th of June next, if I am living, 1 will cast my vote for Joe Brown for Governor of Georgia,’ “And they both strolled off to gether laughing and talking, S.A.F Cordele, Ga We could go on giving many oth er reasons, but consider the above sufficient, B TYBEE SEASON BEGINS. ““The good old summer time” is right on us and the people are think ing of where they will spend thg hot summer months.
