He would have been a “petty tyrant” had he refused the public records of his < ffice to any citizen. * * * Comptroller General Wright is not “blamable for the records made I y county officials m his office —if ht- was he would have hid opposition long ago.

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 sl4 worth of ice tickets and b_x rent, and paid Mr. Sanford $375, extra money —for extra services) rendered—though payment of which is dot provided by law . *** Behold the glaring inconsisten cies of lhe “reformers’ - and you can come to but one sane conclu sion, and that is that they have gone mad with thirst for office and l linger for the pie courter. * * * Never has there beer, bo much mudslinging indulged in in a cams paign in Floyd coun y.Good men, . true men and clean officials have ( been branded as thieves, boodlers and pirates. And <«ll just to help a few “reformers” —men who don’t believe one word <>f the slanders t iey utter —to get office. * * « Rally at the ballot box on Mon day and do y< ur duty as a good citizen, and the slanderer and his n ‘fari< us methods will be buried so deep that the “reformer,” bad as he is will scratch out and beat him to judgment by a million years. 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. i i The taxpayers will vote for ; their best interests —of course ' they will.

C. Butler of South Carolina and ex-Congress man Oatfs of Alabama will be a major general and a brigadier to whom their government could intrust its honor and its exist ence. o o o It is a rather gratuitous re flection upon the farmers of Georgia which the anti Candler crowd is making that the farm ers are not patriotic enough to discharge their duty as goo I citi zens, and will not vote at the June primary. o o o 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 ly. To the surprise of all, he in 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. o o o Are the farmers indifferent as to wh s shall be the next govern or of Georgia, and will they leave the cities, towns and court house politicians todo the voting | m June 6th? We do not believe it. The farmers ot Georgia will de their duty and vote foi\ the man of their choice. 000 A very simple rule to. follow in pronouncing these Spanish names is to pronounce them ary old way, and in a firm unalter ing tone, which defies correction and disarms suspicion.
