CLARK HOWELL AND
THELIQUOR QUESTION.

his position on the liquor question. Mr.. Howell
was not ready for the question altho he prob
ably knew that it would be fired at him when
he started this campaign. He tarried little
and then asked the preacher to repeat his ques-
ton. The reverend gentleman arose and re-
peated Il would like to hear your views on the
liquor question: Mr.. Howell said:
II favor the present local option system in
force in this state"
Each county should have the right to say
what it wants in this matter. But when coun-
ty votes liquor out itself, the strong arm OF the
state should get back of that county and see to
it that no quor goes there either through blind
tigers express shipments otherwise"
He not explain that when each county
comes to decide that important question that
the negro vote is the most important factor IN
the contest. That every wet county in the
state is kept so by the negro vote and that in
every county of the ate where, by local option,
the bar rooms have been voted out, that it has
been necessary to overcome this negro vote,
which is nearly always wet-as wet as Mr..
HOMELAND easily bought with whiskey or
money.
Mr. Howell neglected to state that every
saloon mau in Georgia is local optionst just
like he is.
The Grady County Times is IRENE ndously
Jim Smithy, and says great MANY rash things
about the othe candidates, or rather the back
ing of the other candidates. The main: point
it makes is that the farmers are strong IN
Georgia and Jim Smith is farmer. 1t is
great pity the Times does not take up farmer
Rodenbery, of the county of Grady. He
is farmer and smart a man as Jim Smith
and much closer to the Times.
We appoint Editor Mercer to go to Cordele
at once and try to settle that newspaper row,

Why Adkins, would you push us into the
danger zone? There is nothing in the world we
fear more than danger.
If Hoke hasn't got Clark skinned mile
then we >k our reputation on the statement
that there is no mile to skin.
