Under the heading of “Be Jus t

The Constitution denies that there
was any money us. d by the Evans
committee in I’eKrr county. Io also
denounces the action of Oconoe cuun
tv as an outrage, and says that Mr.
Vi hnon is not tit to be governor,
unless he repudiates the methods
used to secuse the votes of that t
count;,
Before Lir-mini'e 1 people wip
share the indignation of the Consti
tution over the alleged Oconee oul
ra.,e hey will insist that the paper
Bandon its policy of apologizing
for the action of Genera 1 ‘Evans
friends in Telfair.
In other words, the honest Demo
crats of the State will ins s on a”
Ihmociats being treated fairly by
Democrat papers. While favoring
Generaid Evans, this paper is not u
partisan organ, and vsdl not permit
unjust abuse of any Democrat
The commercial has positive infor
mation that the iend of General
Evans in Telfair county wrote to Hon
I Frank Rice, chairman of the Evans
I executive commitee, of this city, for
r money to use in that county on last
' Saturday,and that an agent with the
money, was sent into Telfair some
days prior to the election of guberna
toria' delegates.
Now,in the interest of fairness,let
the Constitution either disprove this
charge or condem the act. Let there
be a cessation of this hypocritical
b.uster on the part of those who are
the beneficiaries of tactics wir’ch they
cordimn in ti e opposition.
lhe Commercial does hot hesi
t ite to condeu n the snap judge

it overlooked the use of money m

business in “Beaver Slide.”
Will Morris a gay young mar

charged with disorderly conduct
m March 11th, but the evidence
had gotten tangled since the case
was made and he was acquitted.
Another case against tne same

successful and Will was fined $5

He was up for holding a yet smal

He is the same Penny who figured
