The present legislature has already made
more good laws than any legislature in recent
years.

Clark Howell is young enough to live to see
negro suffrage pass into history and become
an odious Renaissance.
Mr.. Howell's speech was free from abuse.
& We are glad to note the great improvement that
marks the progress of the campaign.
If the people want Hoke Smith for governor,
and it does appear that they do. why make
great fuss about it? They have the right
The evident discontinue of the Howell
men Saturday evening is but forerunner OF
their inevitable disappointment Aug. 23d.

The only discourtesy shown Mr.. Howell
was the frequent hurrahs for Hoke Smith that
Constantly interrupted him during his speech.
We have been reading political signs pretty
correctly for about twenty years, and it looks
to us like it's going to be Governor Hoke Smith.
Mr.. Howell devoted forty.four minutes OF
his Saturdays speech to disfranchisement and
lost about one vote per minute. At least that's
our calculation.
Mr.. Howell had his day here Saturday and
at its close the local Hoke Smith men were 1ubl-
lant and confident of the result on Aug. u.
The Howell men, as rule, were detected and
dispirited.
Editor Perry Clegg, of the Cordele News,
came down with Editor Howell Saturday and
spent busy day here shaking the hands of his
hundreds of friends. He had not been here for
about year and expressed pleasure at our
progress.
The bill creating Ben Hill county with Fitz.
gerald as the county site has been passed and
signed by the governor. The people will be
asked to ratify the amendment to the constitu-
ton at the general election in October. Here's
success to the new county of Ben Hill.-Vienna

The first blind tiger caught proving in the
alley ways of Fitzgerald will be given the zebra
stripes. We get the impression that Judge
Kennedy has got the impression that blind tig-
ers will be given the impression that liquor ped
ling and street working go hand in hand.
Hon. G. W. Williams, of Dublin, made
great hit in his speech at the corner of Grant
and Pine streets Saturday evening. He had
more voters in his audience than any Of the
speakers have had to date, and it was estimated
E that ninety per cent of them were for Hoke
Smith.
Mr.. Howell had larger audience than
Hoke Smith had It was Ben Hill County day.
j it was Saturday in 1aying-by time with the
farmers; whereas Mr.. Smith was here on Tues
day, sunshiney day after weeks rain in the
busiest season. Mr.. Howell saw great many
Hoke Smith men here.
IF it we're not for the almost absolute certain
tv of Hoke Smiths election, it might be proper
to urge that the Georgia legislature hurry up
with some more reform measures. You know
there are considerable number of people com.
