THE MASK REMOVED.

There was a gathering and
speech making at Thomson, Ca,
yesterday in the interest of the
candidacy of Hoke Smith for gov
ernor.
Circulars, distributed in ad-
vance, advertising the occa-
sion, urged people to "come out
and hear Hon. Seaborn Wright,
Hon. James K. Hines and Hon.
Thomas E. Watson, Speaking in
the interest of Hon. Hoke Smith s
candidacy for governor" And
this was the galaxy of enemies of
the Georgia Democracy that yes
terday urged the people of Thorn
son and McDuffie county to vote
for Hoke Smith for governor.
Surely this is a spectacle that
will receive the careful attention
and consideration of the Democrats
of Georgia. If such a thing had
occurred early In the campaign it
would have been amazing. And
it is so now, though it is not so
striking because Hoke Smith and
his followers have advanced grad
ually to this unmask1ng and open
Haunting of their coalition and
conspiracy with the enemies of the
Georgia Democracy.
Wright has been a candidate
against a Democratic nominee for
governor of Georgia. So has
Hines who stated within a year
that he defeated Atkison for gov
ernor and was swindled out OF
the governorship by the Democrats
of Georgia. 1t is hardly necessary
to even refer to the attitude OF
Watson to what he terms the
damnable, vagabond Democracy.
When Howell declared in the
opening joint debate of the cam
paign in Columbus that Smith had
entered into an alliance with the
Populists, supporters of Smith deni-
ed the very idea and declared the
statement untrue. The fact that
Howell was correct has long since
been completely demonstrated
Yesterdays occurrence at Thorn
son emphasizes the truth in the
matter in a startling manner.
Now that the campaign is clos
ing no further pretense is made at
concealment of the fact that the
enemies of the Georgia Democracy
are endeaYoring to dictate to, run
over and trample upon the party
in its own primary.

Georgia going to do about it.-Co-

Typhoid in nearly every case, is

to impure water.
Quite often people think because
to the naked eye the water seems
clear that it is all right when ii they
either knew its source or looked at
it through a magnifying glass they
would see that it contained thou
sands Of microbes.
Water is taken from wells which
are often contaminated from one

If Hoke Smith has carried one

it he is sending his men in all

The Athens Banner says: "And
Hoke did really have the nerve to
come back and carry Clarke a Sec

es to be made by him during the
campaign are to be made with as

as well take a rest. The tide is
flowing in and the Hon. Hoke
Smith is being steadily submerged.
