| what we want to know is, when will South
| Georgia have a showing in the distribution
| OF the gifts of the state! When did, or when
| Will South Georgia get a senator, or gov
! ernor, or any office elected by the people of
the whole state? All we get in this other
wise Godfavored land is an occasional visit
| from an otfice-hunter from the northern or
| middle portion of the state, or worse, per-
haps, frequent letters and circulars from
| the said ofiice-hunte who are soicitous for
our support. South Georgia can point with
pride to Turner aud Crisp and Lester and
| LawtOn and Mcintyre and host of others
the peers of any in the stata-but all such
have to take back seats when the Offices of
the state are to be dealt out. And we d5n't
mind limiting that lots of people in this part
of Georgia are getting disgustingly tired of
| it."
