By this agitation he has helped to bring on a panie when times were never better. Money was pleatiful, everybody who want ed to work was busy, good prices prevailed; and all who exerted the proper energy were prosperous. -What are the conditions today? Af ter trying Governor Smith’s reform measure for only a few months,‘ idleness, depression, values falling off, many factories are shut down, most of our saw-mills are shut down and monev is so tight that it 1s practically impossible to make col lections. - Reform, did you say? Yes, re form 1s what we most need now. Conservative legislation 1s needed to restore conifdence and prohibition Yes we shouid look well into the past records of our candidates for the iegislature, ~e should see to it that no man goes to the legislature who will imperil our prohib’tion laws, There is the place to protect the prohibition question. Mr. Brown has promised to pro tect it as far as it is 1n his power to do so. What more can we ask? With Mr. Brown in thc executive ckair, with his past history con servativeness, confilence will be re sumed, times will begin to improve, and prohibit.on safely guarded in the general assembly.

CONTRIBUTED TO THE HERALD BY AN ADMIRER OF MR. BROWN. In nearly every Brown, Smith de bate it seems that the Browh faces are victorious and that is easily ac counted for, because Brown, beirg a clean, high-toned gentleman who Wwould not dare utter the undignified remarks made by Smith, is a favorite to the mojority of our people and and his policies are more just and fair. Tberefore, his platform would naturally appeal to our citizens. People are tired of a governor who goes around over the state blus= tering, abusing, threatening and mud-slinging his opponent or any one who dares to differ with him.

At the same time they should be regulated through a com mission composed of broad, liberal and conservative minds.” Mr. Deen has favored the candi dacy of Joseph M.

Raise something to sell be sides cotton, Charlton lands are adapted to Irish as well as sweet potatoes, and the beauty of it is that after your crop of Irish potatoes has been sold your land is then in fine condition for your sweet potato crop.

Smith’s endorsement of that Black Brooks county circular is enough if there was nothing else to condemn him with every true Southern white man wko cares for his country. I have always been against him ever sinc:| he was Secretary of the Interior and | appointed those negroes to office. ( By all means help vs to elect Hon, Jos. M. Brown, a good native Geor gian farmer, an intelligent and con servative business man; and rest assured I will appreciate your hely. Very truly yours, J. W.
