sspacs County Hote Smith Campaign =
Vote FOR Hcl<e Smith for Governor Ad2.1 4
PERTINENT ISSUES
Which Hon. Hoke Smith
Advocates.

Here are some ofthe issues when
Hoke Smith advocates:
First: Equal rights to all and
special privileges to none.
Second: Theabolition Of railroad
and corporation domination in Geor-
gia, the abolishing Of free passes,
establishment OF just freight rates
without discrimination between the
interest of the common carrier and
that of the people.
Third Tie permanent disfran-
chisment of the negro.
Fourth: The formation Of better
laws, and the rigid enforcement OF
the same, against the buying and
selling of votes.
Fifth: He advocates higher and
better education for the children
of Georgia.
Sixth: He stands for Railroad
Commission that owes its allegiance
to the people, and that will see to
it that farmers and business men
of Georgia do not continue longer
to pay sc per cent more freight than
is required Of the people of the SIX
surrounding states.
These and many such noble prin-
ciples are being advocated by the
peoples candidate, and they contain
the pith of the reasons why it is
the duty of every patriotic Georgian
to cast his vote for him on August
%,

Nice Mess of 1t.

What manner of white man is he
who favors keeping the purchaseable
negro in politics? They are often
used to defeat the will of the best
white man, in such elections as on the
whisky and fence questions. Why not
knock them out once and forever?

BARS ALL LIQUOR DEALERS.
Sweeping Statute Adopted by Pythian
Grand Lodge.

New Orleans, Oct ga sweeping
anti-liqucr statute has been passed by
the supreme lodge, Knights Of Pythias.
The new statute is expected to bar
from entry to the order wholesale
liquor dealers and hotelkeepers who
run bars in connection with their hO-
tells. With the exception Of these two
classes all other liquor dealers were
excluded by the old statute The
rev statute includes professional
gamblers, saloonkeepers, bartenders
or dealers in spirituous, vinous or malt
liquors." The most important changes
in the new reading are the substitu-

merfy retail dealers" stood and the
dropping of the classes "bona fde no
teIkeepers," which the old law spe-
officially mentioned as eligible. The

Political Rally.

Our neighbors over in Pope county
are getting little interested in poll
tics and have arranged for a rally at
Cyrus this evening at Gusts Hall
which is said to be very commodious
hall in which the voters will get to-
gether in large numbers as early in
the evening as may be convenient to
listen to Lewis @. Spooner who
is to repeat his Elbow Lake speech OF
of some little time ago.
The subjects considered will be in
large part railroad regulation, but in
Guiding also railroad taxation, the pro-
posed constitutional amendments and
perhaps some other subjects; and it
will be we'll worth while for the voters
of both counties living in territory
tributary to Cyrus to be present at
this meeting.
