THE TERRELL COUNTY HOKE SMITH CLUB
DON'T NEED DIR. NUNNALLY'S
ADVICE.

We see that one Rev. Mr.. Nunnal-
ly, now a resident of Florida, has
something to say concerning the race
for Governor of this State. If we
mistake not this is the reverend gen.
tleman who started out to make the
race for Governor about two years
ago. After making a few puerile
ejaculatory speeches he retired from
the race after failing to get the
endorsement of the church to
which he belonged. 1t now comes
with poor grace for him to
undertake to vent his spleen and
venom on the brainiest Governor
Georgia has had for these many
years. The people don't need any
advice from him as to whom to trust
with the affairs of the State. They
refused to take it while he was a cit
iZen, and we are sure won't now.
They are safe in the hands of Hoke.

Some Things in Connection with
Brown as Executor That All
Know and Can Understand.

Some Things in Connection With
Brown as Executor That All
Know and Can Understand.
Under the heading, "Tommyrot
Poppycock," the Nestor and Solomon
of the Joe Brown Club, basking in
the scintillations of his giant intel
lect. not only accuses the Hoke Smith
contingent Of not being able to dis
tinguish between the legal brief of
an attorney and the verdict of a
court, but in doing this makes mate
rial reflections upon the intelligence
of a large majority of the white men
and women of Terrell county who
have reached that age when news
paper reading is a regular part OF
the days routine. Does he fancy
that the people of good old Terrell,
a county traversed so thoroughly by
the R. F. D. routes and other means
of quick communication, have not
long since become constant readers
of the news of the day? That they
have not read and Teread the indiS-
putable facts regarding the side-step-
ping or displacing, as you please, Of
Little Joe from the management of
his pas estate of largely ill-gOtten
gain? Does he believe we are all
such IDIOTS as that we have not found
out that the said allegations OF an
attorney" were sworn to by two
brothers and two sisters of the said
Little Joe NJ. and Julius l.. Brown?
Does this NestOr, a Hercules in gray
matter, imagine that none OF us
know that Little Joe with his Buddle
julius did play the decided side
stepping act, surrendering thereby
their management of the Brown es-
tate to the sO-called Brown Company,
of which company not Little Joe,
but the only member OF the family
who has real ability, George Brown,
was made president and general
manager, and is to this day the head
OF the said company? Does he think
we are all such drOnes as not to know
that had not Joe and Julius been
wasting their fathers estate and
otherwise falling short in their obll-
cations as executors there would not
be today any such thing as the Joe
Brown Company" for caring for the
interests of the J. E. Brown estate?
The Hoke Smith Club lays no
claim to an embargo on intelligence,
nor is. it willing to grant to the Soc
rates of the Little Joe Brown Club a
monopoly thereon, for We suspect
that he is still young enough to be
taught another pungent lesson on
June 4th next.

WHO TO ASK If IN DOUBT.

Good men sometimes go wrong,
good men sometimes make mistakes
and good citizens often have honest
differences, especially in politics.
If your neighbor does not agree
with your political views give him
credit for being honest in it--he may
be right, you may be wrong; pit
your strength against his, and fight it
out at the ballot box. Study, read,
think, watch the lineup if you are
in doubt, and if unable to settle the
matter to your own satisfaction don't
go to a politician to do so for you
ask your wife, ask your mother, ask
your sister, ask your sweetheart. The
women are nearly always right; you
will not make a mistake by taking
their advice

DAYS OF MIRACLES ARE OVER.

One gentleman in defending Joe
Brown and offering excuses for his
non-appearance before the people re-
marked, mo one has seen Christ in
over 1900 years, yet we have faith
in Him" Such faith is sublime, but
the comparison WI not do. In the
DAYS when Christ was on earth many
miracles were performed, but if the
people of Georgia buy the pig IN
the bag" sight unseen it will be a
miracle that will be handed down III
history for years to come as one OF
the most wonderful happenings tha'
ever took place since God made the
world, and the people Of Georgia
will be over-run with fakirs seeking
to impose upon them. No danger OF
this however, for the people OF Geor-
gia are too enlightened TO Dc
gulled by the political ringsters ano
railroad politicians into accepting on
faith any man they have never seen
especially a man with the record OF
Little Joe.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

The hundreds of charges brought
against Hoke Smith in the last cam
paign, if proven, would indicate that
he was wholly unfit for Governor.
The result at the ballot box of that
campaign, after thorough investiga-
ton and long discussion, would in
dictate that comparatively few people
believed those charges.
The question naturally arises,
what's the matter? was the trouble
with the people or with the charges?
We think the election answered the
question loud enough for all Georgia
to hear. 1t may be that the people
were hypnotized; if so, they seem to
have a worse spell now than ever.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1908-05-27
WHAT THE RECORDS SHOW.

Some people continue to assert
that Joseph M. Brown was not an eX-
ecutor of his fathers estate. The
records in the court house of Fulton
county say that he was. He made
a failure at this, he made failure
as a railroad man, he made failure
as Railroad Commissioner, and he
is now making the greatest failure
of his lie in trying to delude some
people into thinking he has chance
to corral the greatest office within
the gift of the citizens of Georgia
All these failures are proven, even
to the last mentioned one, and June
4th will give an ocular demonstra-
ton as to Just how this was done.

Do YOU BELIEVE IT.?
Some Questions for You to Think Of
in Connection With Joe Brown as
Executor of Eafhn,.,S ESntatn0

Executor of Fathers Esetate?.
Do you believe that a mans own
brothers and sisters would swear
that he was incompetent, and then
lille that paper in the court house to
be recorded in the public records Of
MS state, to be handed down for all
time, unless it was forced upon them
to do so for their own protection in
order to try and save property that
was being wasted, that was needed
by them, that rightfully belonged to
them? Do you believe that Joe
Browns two brothers and two sis
ters would swear to such a story
against their own brother, Little
Joe, unless it was true? Do you
Delleve that they are such ignorant
people as to attach their oaths to
paper and file it for record in the
courts of Fulton county and not
read 1t and know the contents there
or? Do you believe that knowing
the contents of it they falsely swore!
VI course not. Mr.. j. w. F. LOWrey
does them an injustice when he takes
a dig at the lawyers IN the case. The
lawyers evidently had to obtain the
information on which to base the
petition from their clients. Joseph
M. Brown is of the same stock as
mis- brothers and sisters, and if his
brothers and sisters are so ignorant
and careless of the truth as to at
tach their oaths to paper they have
not even read then do we need an!
OF that same stock at the head OF
our state government? Messrs. RIOS
ser & Brandon, the lawyers in tne
case, had nothing to do with the
tects. 1t was their duty to take the
facts from the witnesses and pre-,
pare their papers accordingly anu
this was done.

EXPLAINED AT LAST.

Some of you have wondered why
Little Joe Brown does not go out
and meet the people, why he does
not make a speech, why you are not
permitted to hear him grunt. Out
of the mouths of little children some
times come great truths. Two little
boys were discussing the two candi-
dates for Governor, and one of them
in the course of his argument said:
s. Brown amt much good; he don't
make no speeches like Governor
Smith. But the other little fellow
came back at him like this: Mr..
Brown can make just as good a
speech as Governor Smith, but Mr..
Brown amt learned his speech yet. g"
He does not know his own speech.

GOV. SMITHS OVATION.
His Strength Is Shown by the Crowd

Less Than a DAVIS NOTICE

Less Than a Days Notice.
Wasn't that a wonderful ovation
given HOke Smith Tuesday afternoon
on short notice? If his coming had
been advertised for a day or two the
city would have been overlooking
with people-would not have been
standing room on the streets for
them. 1t was miraculous, to saw the
least of it. But big, brainy states
man like him can command a large
gathering at any time. People ex-
pect to learn something from a man

Joe. 1t is the man" they are after,
and not for the welfare of state and
people. Was not his speech match
