The tax returns of the Central of

Many persons read with the eye
rather than with the brain.
as it's all a matter of individual opinions
now. The mass meeting will donbtless
be well attended on May 10th, as the
people are takiDg much interest in poli
tics this year.
Since the mass meeting has been
oalled for the 10th, "another Riohmond”
has entered the field for legislative hon
ors in the person of Mr. Oscar P. Brasel
ton, of near Pendergrass, Ga. With
Messrs. Qnarterman and Jones, of Win
der, and Mr. O. P. Braselton, of near
Pendergrass, in the rooe, other candi
dates will donbtless follow suit soon,
and many announcements are expected
in the next week.
Up to date, Jefferson has no candl
date announced for representative, bnt
there is a very strong sentiment through
out the eDtire county in favor of return
ing Hon. John N. Holder to the house
this year, and it is probable that he will
oonsent for his friends to use his name
in this connection at the proper time.
There is no more popular man In Jaok
son connty than Hon. J. N. Holder, and
if he Bhonld decide to offer for re-elect
ion, there is no question as to what
would be the result.
In the event Hon. John N. Holder iB
returned to the honse of representatives
from this connty this year, he has a
whole hoet of friends throughout the
state who will advocate bis eleotion as
speaker of the house. It has now been
many years Bines Jackson connty was
honored with the speakership of the
honse, and tbe representatives from
North Georgia are getting anxious to
see this honor conferred npon Hon. J.
N. Holder in the next house of repre
sentatives. Owing to his judicial poise,
bis famitiarity with parliamentary rules
and practioe, and his reoognized ability
as a presiding officer, Mr. Holder, as
speaker, would grace tbe position, and
add new lanrels to those he has already
so worthily won.
