ANNOUNCEMENT.

TO the Voters of Cobb county, an
nounced as a candidate for Ordinary
several months ago, subject to Demo-
cratic primary. Now, fellow-citizens,
so called primary was held on the 18th
inst. Under special directions and rules
prescribed by the Democratic Execu-
tive Committee an assessment of SO was
made on each candidate to have his name
printed on the ticket, and an iron-clad
resolution was passed by said Executive
Committee, which recited that should
any candidate use money or whiskey,
directly of indirectly, to secure or influ-
ence votes, the votes of such candidate
should not be counted, but considered
null and void Now, friends and fellow
citizens, what has been the result of the
said so called primary election? |. as
true and loyal man, can assert positively
without any hesitation whatever that
said iron-clad rule was not violated by
me or in my interest by friends. Now.
as to my opponents, their violation of
said resolution is known to almost every
voter in the county VOTES BOUGHT
AND SOLD OPENLY on the streets of Ma
rietta in defiance of law and order, pre-
senting sight unparalleled in the his
tory of our county election, and said OPP
ponents dare not deny the allegation
charged
Now, what ere you going to do about it?
1t is not possible that the banner county
of this glorious old commonwealth of
Georgia will endorse and continue to live
under such injurious, disgraceful and
outrages proceedings. which ultimately
lead to anarchy, communism, and the
destruction of our republican form of
government. dared to take up arms in
defence of our country and shed the first
blood for this grand old county of Cobb
on June End, 1861, and received bad
wounds june 81 and September 3Oth,
1864 l now dare to defy the unjust and
irregular edicts of the executive COM,
mittee of said county, and do hereby
renew my announcement as candidate
for Ordinary to be decided by general
election to be held on the Sd day, first
Wednesday in October next. No good
and true man who loves his country, can
afford to abide such farce of a primary
election as the so-called one he'd on
July 18th, inst | claim under the rules
laid down by the said county executive
committee, and published to the world.
to be the true, legal and logical nominee
for said Office of Ordinary Let all good
and law-abiding men rally to the stand
ard OF right. Let justice be done to a
worthy, capable and deserving veteran of
the war of 1861, to 1865.
Very truly yours,
