ter. The questions that Voter asked
our beloved congressman to answer
or to have his candidate for COVER
nor answer. are very pertinent onea
TO my mind and those answers should
be very interesting to the voters of
Glynn county, but there are other
questions that might be asked of the
Savannah candidate, the answers to
which should be equally as interest
ing to our people, and, in order that
our congressman may have them be
fore him that they may be answered.

his affections ripen into true love just
before election time when he is q can
didate for governor?

of the state railroad to the sea and
what port does he favor for it's ter

Of our treasury in an effort to deep
