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,

- Generul Forest, the Great Confed
®rate cavalry fighter, had a brother
Mamed George, who was with him in

nown that all the Forest family

ed George 10 take a squad and re
lconoitree, but “Whatever you do,”
‘George,” said the general, *‘Don't
you ‘fotch’.on a fight,”
E George left with his squad and in
less than thirty minutes there was
heavy firing in the direction he had
gone, and presently George and his
mea came full tilt into> camp,
“Didn’t I tell you not to ‘fotch’
on a fight?”” shouted the general.
_ ‘“ *Fotch' on a fight?” vyelled
George, “The fight *fotch’ on Itself,”
