THE EOWE CARD Some Facts Regarding a Weak Effect to Make Capital out of' a Typogrhaipcal Error. The afternoon organ of the political ring, EDITED BY ONE OFFICIAL OF THE COUNTY, the toot of' the poli ticians anil the laughing stock of Brunswick, showed its hand yesterday afternoon and a line Italian hand it is—one as keen as ever cut a throat or scuttled a ship. Monday afternoon Mr. J. M. Lowe the well known painter, than whom there is not a better citizen hi Bruns wick, called at The News office and tendered a card for publication. The card protested against the effort of the managers of the ring circular to foster the sheet upon him against his will and claimed that the same circular ‘had Charged him for the notice of the funeral of his little cnild. The linotype wrote the name “ J. A. Lowe” Instead of “J. M. Lowe' as it was signed in the original card, which is of record in till", office The editor of The News realizing that the mistake might, put, one, J. A. Loyve, in a false position, called at the office of the afternoon circu lar and requested the peculiar freak that presides there to, make the state ment. Hp stated that he would do so and, in fact, wrote the nolic.n However., instead of printing it, he in serted ip his politically bought sheet a dirty diatribe trying to mislead the public into the belief that Tim Nows had manufactured the card in ques tion. “‘The Boomerang Butts Back' does it? It butts back into the face of the cowardly puppet who wrote the line, |bg fqol yf‘ few’, or i'ttoh ab)y bf 'ONE POLITICIAN AND OF FICE HOLDER, of about the same Cglfbrp a? the freak. The affidavit of j, A, Lowe was not necessary as the editor of The Nows advised the freak that an error had been made on its linotype and showed him the original copy signed by Mr. L ‘Me Lowe. Instead i>f 'keeping faith with his promise'he lakes occasion to use thie following words in connection with the affid?, v |t of J, A. Lowe. I'Hpre is all the unswpr needed to shpvv to, yvhat desperate stoiits sopip puiy he driven.’’ Tiie “ilesperate straits” ap pear to be displayed by the freak, who probably wanted to make good before his ‘‘boss” and chief emergency edi torialists. The name of the editor of the News is at its masthead' inn he gefa big inspirations from rip of officehplding crp\y o,f peanut politicians The statement, that the editor of this paper was driven to straits is a lie and the man who wrote it is a liar. It. cannot be stated positively who wrote ft hut vffioever the can fits “look good tp us.” Jn the meantime tfie facts remain thaf the political circular was thrust into the home of Mr. Lowe and that the sheet did charge him for the funeral notice of his little child. The card is here on record. How does this strike the fr<_-apt} flip fiun'pb o'f political tricksters he has at his back? M’INTOSH WANTS TO GO FOR SMITH BUT IS AFRAID TO Dariep, Ga., Aug, 21.—There is no doubt but that Mclntosh county would like to go for Hope Smith but it is afraid, The negroes, who have the majority of registered voters, say if the county goes for Hoke Smith they will put out a full county ticket and elect it. The representative in the legisla ture at present is a negro as also is the coroner, assistant marshal, most of the justices of the pegt-e, depot v to the sheriff, Darien policemen, con stables and other officers. They threaten to elect superior court clerk, ordinary, and, in fact all the county officers from their own eoi or if the county does not/go for Es ' till. / LOOKS LIKE A LAND SLIDE FOR HOKE SMITH SMITH RALLY AI THE GRAND Largest Meeting of Hie Campaign was Held lasi Night GREAT ENTHUSIASM SHOWN Local People Tell the Masses of Bruns wick What is Involved in the Campaign—Overflow Meeting Was Held.
