CHARI/TON COUNTY HERALD VOL. Xl.--NO. 3. THE EFFECT. The resnlts of the primary on last Thursday were in many ways most - remarkable. This was supposed to be the off year so far as the Govern or was concerned and the victory gained in the face of the long =s. tablished precedent ouly speaks thg sentiments of the masses. ~ Precedent stood out in bold de ‘ fiance and said that Governor Smith should have another term without opposition, and had it not been for this Mr. Brown’s majority in all probubility would have been much lurger, but it is large enough to be a safe one, and too we think the ef fect wid be both beneficial and last ing. We take it that Georgia re ceived one of the best advertise ments last Thursday that she has had in years, if ever before. The effect will be far-reaching. Extreme agitation as we have said before. has brought on hard times. Georgia (one of the leaders) has paused and weighed the matter are * fully, and has reversed the time-hon ored practice of giving the Govern or a second tetm under such op-. pression, and in so doing ske says to idle capital, “Come within our gates and we will give you fair treat ment It will eventually come, and ~ When 1t does it will stay, and the ~ grand old state will bloom as never _ before, : ' - Epitor CuarrroN CounTY HERALD, ~ Please allow me space in the col - umns of your valuable paper to- say ~a word of thanks , | ~ To the citizens of Chariton coun ~ ty I can hardly choose words toex _press my appreciation of the hon_ql“s ' ’,’knferred’ ujon we in tendering me gard Tcounty. na s ours e elected in the general election I shall enter upon the discharge of the duties of said office with a full realization of the responsibilities resting upon me and I pledge my word onor that I shail~use the utmost eudeavors to sy perform, the work encumbsred upon said office’ * that I may mevit the honor andj trust confided in me by the people in electing me to said office. Realizing from pust experience in the tax work that there are no two offices in the county of more im portance in relation to the financial progress of the country than those of Tax Assessor and Collector, as the books of these officers in the different counties of the state furnish the basis of the revenue of the state and counties and arc very essential to the support and maintenance of the Government, P : With this knowledge of these facts and with the co-operation of the lax Assessor, the Commissioners and the Grand Juries of the county I shall try to peirform the duties re quired by law, ever keeping in mind the relation of this work to the progress and growth of our county, Again thanking the people for tendering me the nominawins to this place, I am, Very respectfully yours, J. C. ALLEN, A NOVEL SCHEME, Grubb—l hear your last novel has already appeared in Its sixth edition. How did you manage 10 become so phenominally popular? Scrubbs—Very simple.

A Georgian paid $1 for a quart bottle of dark brown fluid a sugges tive rich dark brown—which was delivered to him with a wink, for it was conspicuously labeled “Cold “tea” The purchaser drew the cork hastily took a large swallow .and yell ed for a doctor. Investigation prov ed that the label was true. Wasn’ti that shocking? | AS THE RESULT IS SEEN OUTSIDE OF THE STATE.,. Comiments on the Defeat of Smith and the Election of Brown. HARD TIMES FOR THE AMATEURS. 1 From the New York Sun,! The saloon keeper running for of fice on the prohibition ticket, the furtive tippler asking for the votes of the total ab stainers, and the reformer whose heart 1s bursting to reform every body but himself, may achieve a prodigious success 1f he happens to 'ride upon a wave of public hysteria, 1 If he himself makes a wave, so ’much the better for him., In tha'l case the people will recognize in' him a heaven boin genius and will | accluim his progress from one stagei of dishonor to another as if he were a deity or a debs. But if it be not a wave of his own making it must presently land him in the shaliows of ridicule, disavowed as a quack and a humbug. Mr. Hoke Smith, of Georgia hac a mighty triumphant ride on Mr. Roosevelt’s wave, and it seemed, for a time, as if there were not ascribable limits to his triumphant fight. Hei clearly identified himself with every business disaster in his state, even seemed to take upon his own mighty shoulders some of Mr. Roosevelt’s responsibility for national disaster‘ and wreckage and presented every aspect of unassaiiable and enduring! success, : : l\ Ihe people of Geourgia are- t;t)d'e-} dependable and of a low selfishness They didn't see the fun of a_game hey saw Hoke’s effulgence giow hotter and hotter as the accursed corporations fell and as thousands upon thousands of workmen enjoy ed their compulsory vacations. They failed,"however, to appreciate : the philosophy that gave theml bankruptey and miser; at the same time that it forbade them the solacc{ of the bottle. In short they voted the who'e show a fake and a hum—’ bug and they vociferously electerl the sublime Hoke to private life. ‘ A gentlemman named Joe Brown whose sole claim to distinction is his conviction that there is nothing for for Georgia in the bankruptcy of her railroads, will hereafter preside over the destinies of the Cracker state Joe Brown is opposed to the incula tion of the Christiapr virtues by writ, capias and distraint. He holds that more people are persuaded than compelled to be good, and is doubt ful of the éincerity of avenging an gels with an appetite for office. Governors Glenn of North Caro lina and Comer of Alabama should be profoundly concerned with the Georgia episode. Itls about time that they sent for the reporters and imparted to the public their views' about big game on the Upper Ugan da, SANITY IN EHE SOUTH, Baltimore American. It s pleasant to see the tendency in the Southern states to sheer avay from political brainstorms and take something for the nerves. Georgia has begun to recover from a violent spree of radicalism thatthreatened to nullify all the splendid industrial and commercial enterprise which has added tens of millions of dollars to the general wealth. Other states are seeing that the demagogues are not the men to follow if the inhabi tants waut investment, settlers, new factories, mote railroads and pro gres. : ‘ {n the south is the richness of a dozen empires. Her states have opportunities for ten times their present populations, But they will i never realize their destinies until they put more seuse and sanity into their politics. We hope that Geor gia’s good example will be a lesson | to all of them.

The gravel side walks need another coat and in many places new railing. The plank wllks have some holes which need patching and the heads of all nails should be driven down.
