THE BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS. VOLUME 5. NUMBER 242. ANOTHER VOTER NAILS A POLITICAL CANARD IN THE CAMPAIGN NO FIGHT ON COL BRANTLEY Though Some of His Friends Honestly Disagree With Him ON HIS PitTSENT MtITUOE The Effort in Estill Quarters to Make ..It Appear That Smith’s Friends are Fighting Brantley Is Rediculous Brantley in No Fight Mr. Editor: I have been reading with interest and amusement the lit tle squims published for the past few days in the the afternoon paper and it must be apparent to every man of ev en ordinary intelligence that an ei fort.is being made by some of Mr. Bstill’s supporters to make it appear that an attack is being made upon Mr. Brantley by the supporters oi Hon. Hoke Smith on account of Mr. Brantley's attitude in the present cam paign. The effect of this, they no doubt hope, will be to gain votes for Mil’. Estill as a retaliatory measure for the attack upon Mr. Brantley. Bub. Mir. Editor, this method of campaigning is too thin to stick; it 9 taibric is too open to make even a fair quality of mosquito netting, therefore the faces of the individuals who are straining their efforts and shallow brains at such silly argument are plainly visible ’behind the screen. No, Mr. Editor, there is no fight being made upon Mr. Brantley; no fight can be made upon him. lie has his nomi nation for congress in his pocket We have all voted for him to return to congress and if he wants to return there as our representative he can do sp. we are pledged to vote for him. it is true that many of fylr. Brantley's frle|lds and admirers have advised Jilin tg keep gut of the present guber natorial campaign and take no part in it as it yvas not his fight and t> ipix up in it might hurt him politicallv in the future. If these can be con sfpied as an attack upon Mr. Brant ley, then it is not safe to offer advice to pur personal or political friends for fear we may be accused pf at tacking them. The people of Glynn county, and especially those who re side in Glynn county, no doubt, ap preciate everything Mr. Brantley has for them since he has represent ed them in congress and there are no criticisms to make of his record. Ho has served us as faithfully and as well as any other man in the district might have done and we have already shown our appreciation by sending him hack to congress, but I contend that *' it is not a part of the congressional duties of a congressman to choose for us our governor or state house officers and our failure to fol low the lead of Mr. Brantley in this campaign cannot, and ought not to be construed as rn attack upon Mr. Brantley, fie has 1:0 rjg*t to take any such constructions upon our actions and neither have the henchmen Qf the bavannaii candidate who appear to be the real sell-constituted judges of our actions. No, Mr. Editor, we are making no attack upon Mr. Brantley, hut the people of Glynn county seem to loos with disfavor upon the proposition to cast their ballots for a man such as J. H. Estill has shown himself to be. I do not believe that our people will vote to honor a man with the office of governor of our great state, who has admitted that he endorsed a negro pol itician to the high office of collector of customs for the port of Brunswics and to do it for the purpose of getting r id of him in Savannah. This ne gro was not good enough for Savan nah but Mr. Estill decided that he was just the right man for Bruns wick. It might be interesting to a good many voVrs of Glynn county to know what Mr. Estili’s campaign has to do with our 30 foot channel to the spa, or our lightship off the bar. There is Cfne thing that is sure and that Is if this negro endorsing candidate for governor had his way about It we would uot have a five foot channel to the sea, nor a common sheet irqn buoy of any description to mark the present channel. Another Voter, SERtOS RUNAWAY YESTERDAY One of the Ponies of G. W. Cline Broke its Leg. The handsome pair of ponies of G. W.

A veterinary was called and up to last night it had not been decide a xvhether or not to kill the animal. The ponies were a beautiful pair and Mr. Cline regrets the accident.
