The “reform” organ says.
“ ‘Measures and not men’ has
been the shibboleth of democracy,
it nd in the fight now on it should
he the sole criterion for the demo*
cratic voter •”
I agree with the “reformer” in
that statement but at the same
time 1 desire to call the “refor
mer’s” attention to the sac that
it has knowingly and wilfully
slandered Beysiegel, McConnell
and Turner (candidates) and Jake
Moore (not a candidate)-slan
dered these “men” in un
“measure”-ed terms —and his
failed to name lhe officer who g 't
the “other third” —because you
said he was “not now a candi

As to Comptroller General
Wright, he has denounc d all
charges and insinuations against
him, as becomes a b~ave man with
a clean record. He would have
been a “petty tyrant” had he

< ffice to any citizen.

Comptroller General Wright is
not “blamable for the records

hid opposition long ago. But the

official and th cl< Best invts.iga

been hurled long ago—and the

As to the amount of money the
ax collector “leaves in the treas
ury” why that has nothing on
earth to do with this campaign.
Neither has the s’atemei t that
the Featherston Board expended
such and such sums for ruch and
such improvements.

Mr. tianford is not the board of
county commissioners, even if
that august body has comsumed

extra money —for extra services)
rendered—though payment of
which is dot provided by law .

Behold the glaring inconsisten

FOR TREASURER.
1 appreciate most sincerely
the kind support I received from
the voters of Floyd county in
electing me county treasurer in
the past and again respectfully
submit my name as a candidate
for renomination in the primary
of June 6th. If re-elected I again
pledge myself to render the
same non partisran service to al
the people (when funds are out
as I have honestly endeavored
to do in the past. Respectfully,
Jas. B. Hill.

When Theodore Roosevelt,
who learned to ride bronchos in
the far west, mounted one of the
animals for the first time a lot
of the people gathered about to
see the “tenderfoot” discomfited.
Sure enough Roi sevelt went off
at the first jump and fell Ifeavi

sisted on trying it again, how
'ever, and this time he stayed on
until the animal w as conquered.
Then, when he dismounted he
promptly fainted. It. was found
his fall had broken one of his
ribs.

Are the farmers indifferent as
to wh s shall be the next govern

leave the cities, towns and court

it. The farmers ot Georgia will
de their duty and vote foi\ the
