BE HONEST WITH THY SELF.
The South Georgia friends of Col. ]. H.
Estl who are supporting him for governor
we mean those who sincere-surely have
not looked the situation squarely in the face.
Mr.. Estil1 virtually admits himself that he
stands no chance of being elected. The ma jnr.
ity of those who are supporting him see that he
has no chance of election, yet they claim that he
is entitled to their support. r.
Now if Col. E-till stands no chance of
election, why is he making the race? There is
a reason for 1t, aud every sensible man should
look the matter ia the face and deal honestly
with himself. The reason is plain enough that
any reasonable man can not fail to see the
point 20
Every county that goes for Estill counts
AGAINST Hoke Smith, and every county that
counts against Smith counts FOR Cla Howell.
The race is between Hoke Smith and Clark
Howell, the other candidates are in the race for
the sole purpose of leading the honest voter
astray. E>till, Jim Smith, Russell and Nunnal-E
ly know that they stand chance of election,
yet they all remain in the race. !.
Mr.. Voter,-have you paused and asked your
honest self why? If you have, no doubt, you
have the correct answer.
The answer is plain enough. They are,
running f thu sole purpose of defeating the
Hon. Hoke Smith, the choice of the ma jorty Of
the masses, and to elect Clark Howell the choice
of the railroads, the monopoly and the ring rule
politicians. -
for m nh yxhO
didates are attacking in their mpaigu, they
are all fighting Hoke Smith, but never one of
them as yet has raised his voice against Clark
Howell
Is not their object plain enough? They
have no hope of being elected, yet they remain
in the race fighting Hoke Smith.
The race is between Hoke Smith aud Clark
Howell Be honest with yourself and take a
stand for one the Other and do not allow the
trickster politician to lead you astray.
South Georgia counties that cannot be car
ried for Howell will be placed in the E,till col
umn by the ring politicians if possible.
1t takes good round sum of money to de-
fray the expenses of candidate who makes the
race for governor. Is it reasonable to suppose
that man will furnish this cash just for the
pleasure of making the race? Not much.
These candidates are all good business men
and have be en- successful in life in a business
way, and to suppose that they would throw
their good dollars away without hope of reward
is folly.
This being the case, the questions arise at
ouce, who is furnishing the money? Who ex-
poets to reap the reward? Who pulled these
candidates into the race and is holding them
there?
Mr.. Voter we leave the question for you 10
answer Be honest with yourself and answer
according to your convictions after you have
thoroughly considered the situation.-Tho mas-
vile Press.
We believe Irwin county would vote good
majority for the rotation system in this district
to remain as it is, should the opportunity be
presented. We know she would not contend
for a change just after she furnished the
senator-Ocila Star.
We club the Golden Age with the Enterprise
at ST. per annum for the two.
