There are few Populist papers or papers

What ever happens in the convict question we
sincerely hope and are inclined to beev that it
will result in better road system for the state.
Georgia is too great state to longer tolerate the
devious trails, impractical grades and makeshift
bridges that characterize the highways of the, in
many respects greatest state in the Union.
Fitzgerald Pun Out
The sober minded church going, God fearing
people of Atlanta are organizing to defeat the
wlde-Openers in the municipal campaign this
winter. The free and easy crowd will be led again
by the present mayor, James Woodward, but the
defamation of the saloon element it is believed
will SO weaken the crowd that has so long
dominated Atlanta politics that it is believed that
the election of representative the better element
OF business men can be accomplished. Here's hop
ing as hard as hope can hope.

When Hon. Joseph NJ. Brown was making
the race for governor the Atlanta Journal
tried to make it appear that he didn't have
sense enough to go out and make speech in
his own behalf and now it is terribly wrought
up because he has not taken the stump for
Mr.. Bryan. The Journal evidently has a
better opion of Mr.. Brown or else it is very
inconsistent. -Hawknsvile Despatch and News
The Journal and the Dispatch both know
now, as they did when Mr.. Brown was making
the race, that Mr.. Brown cannot make speech.
The Dispatch is insincere when it says the Journal
is inconsistent.
Neither have any better opinion of Mr.. Brown
and probably will never have

The editor of the Fitzgerald Enterprise
states that he will find it difficult to vote for
Joe Brown in October. Vote for Carter the
freak, if it suits you better, Mercer, but had
some of us imagined you were of that calibre
we certainly would not have torn our shirts
for you in your race for Prison Commissioner.

Weappreciate what Editor Earnest Camp did
for us in our race for prison commissioner and if
he had favored one of the other candidates in that
contest as many of our friends did the theory
that they are very excellent gentlemen, we would
still prize his friendship for his moral worth.
he is good boy and means well but unfor
tunatey he favored the successful candidate for
governor in the state campaign. We sympathize
with every young man who did, We believe that
Earnest and others who are just much in earnest
are glad that Hoke Smith defeated but we
have sincere doubts of any particular citation at
the success of Joe Brown except as to its bearing
on Governor Smiths candidacy. Our Democratic
"caliber' has stood all the tests. We have never
baked and we have never sulked, although some
of the Brownies have been silly enough to term
our present attitude, sulkng. That however does
not make it true We would be hypocrit, pure
and simple if we protested any enthusiasm for
Joe Brown; particularly when there is not the
slightest probability that he will fail of election
by an overwhelming majority.
Ernest puts it little too strong when he says
would find 1t ''difficdlt to vote for Joe Brown"
he has changed our language to suit his needs.
The Hoke Smith Democrats of Georgia will give
Joe Brown more votes than the crowd that nomi-
