Owing to an unanticipated strain
npon our space we find ourselves I'M
able in this our last issue before the
election to indulge in the precise
summary of the Gubernatorial race
that we had intended. However, in
general terms we do not hesitate to
say that our favorite, the Hon
Charles Scott, now rest his claim
with the people in confding spirit
Everything looks favorable to an
easy amble for him into the second
race. All parts of the state have been
heard from, and careful review of
the situation taken, and the Scott
people are willing in the language of
the lawyers before the bar to Sub
nit the Case In the hands of the
people respose the gift of this office
BY word of mouth thousands have
pledged themselves to support this
distinguished statesman, and we be-
lieve that they will not fail to keep
the troth.

That the next Legislature will take
steps looking to the creation of a
more perfect piece of machinery for
|equalizing assessments in the State,
seems to be clearly reflected from the
press expressions. Some question the
wisdom of State Board of EQUAL
zation for this purpose. If surround
ed with the proper restrictions, and
made to work in cooperation with
County Boards, we see no good rea-
son why that system will not work
out as good for the little farmer as
the big syndicate. Let the work of
assessments originate with the peo-
pie at home. Then the County Board,
and in cases of transparent inequali-
ty, the higher Supervisory Court,
then State Board, to step forward in
equity. This is orderly progression
of supervision and legislation.

At this the fms of the campaign,
the HERALD produces an excerpt
form letter of one of the leading
candidates for Governor, that we
trust our readers out OF fairness,
whatsoever they may be for. will
carefully peruse. Chas. Scott is its au-
thor. Here's the extract:
+ I have been most unfairly
treated in this campaign. Lies
innumerable have been circulat-
ed against me. All those that
have been made public | have
proven to be absolutely false:
We can look for numerous 9th
err canards and campaign lies
just prior to and on the day OF e.
lection, when | will have no OPP
portunity of denying same |
give you authority, and will re-
ly npon you as my friend, to
denounce all such as absolutely
false. Tell the people that this is
dirty politics and that the very
men who are indulging in it will
laugh at them if it accomplishes
its purpose.
Take our word for it that this dis
tinguished gentleman has, Stolen
no sheep or government money, has t
married his record with disgrace
but has all his life and through this
campaign, showed himself to be a
southern gentleman of the old chival-
ric school. Every effort having the
semblance of truth will be put forth
by those who fear him politically to
murder his character and reputrtion
at the polls, but We of the faith, stand
true and denounce as untrue every
accusation. Investigation has and
will so bear out.

There's but little use for any of the
freemen of Old Greene to sacrifice
their votes on the Gubernatorial
handicap. Those who have closely fol
lowed the campaign and studied the
situation. fird it no trouble to an

In this and preceding campaigns that
the race lies between three or four
of the sextette. Brewer has but the
slimest of chance to slip into the
second race. Sisson likewise and
Thomas not the ghost of a. show. We
put it up to you as we have found

As stated in his opening letter,
Scott has steered clear of combines
and rings in this campaign. He has

that would contribute to its attain

too stingy to pay for what he gets.
1t would look muck more manly in

of the other boys asking for similar
