THE SPIRIT OF ABUSE AND
ASPERSION.
from the Macon Telegraph.

From the Macon Telegraph.
The denunciatory and defamatory
spirit of abuse which, for three years,
has characterized the Atlanta Jour-
nal has some imitators. For in
stance, the Elberton Star remarks;
Brown clubs are but one removed
from black clubs.
In other words, those who are for
Brown and against Smith are little
better than niggers-only lone re-
moved"
Another one sneering at the
phrase, Brown and Bread" says it
would be more appropriate, under
the circumstances, to say, "hOg and
harmony.
The Telegraph told these apostles
of hate two years ago that they were
sowing dragons teeth which would
grow up to do this state great harm,
and in time would turn on them. 1t
has come earlier than we expected.
The. words thieves" robbers,
"conspirators, 'hirelings," and the
like, have been in use among them

last twenty-five years" was denounc-
ed as having been corrupt. The DEM

never referred to in their campaign
two years ago. They called them
selves the peoples party" That Was
a choice device to catch the popu-
lists, upon which they evidently put
great store. But this year they talH

Because the populists have parIeu

Governor Smith carried this county
in the last campaign by IT'S votes,
but it is confidently predicted that
Brown will get the county on June

Mr.. NJ L. Day of this place

the counties of Clay, Calhoun, Ran

two years ago, but say now he is
sorry he did it.
Jack Studstill came in from Mill

A DISAPPOINTED MAN.

When l came into the hotel this
afternoon | found the following
note:
Come out tonight and hear Hoke
Smith, former proprietor of the
Piedmont barroom. He will explain
to you the evils of strong drink from
the standpoint of a man who used to
sell booze. He was opposed to pro-
hibition until the state repudiated
Whiskey, but now he is with us.
eff no farmers are present he will
doubtless tell us of the advantage of
immigration.
Another interesting feature of the
program will be his dramatic explain
alton of the s4,0OO,O00 saved in
freight rates by the Hon. S. Guyton
McLendon under his personal man
agement.
1T would be shame and disgrace
if the good people of Georgia should
permit Joe Brown to restore the
Piedmont bar, the four million dol
lars and the white primary. Come
one, come all, and let Hoke give you
light"
| went around to hear the Hon.
Hoke, and was disappointed for the
reason that there were several farm
ers in the audience, and he failed to
touch on immigration. There were
also several merchants present, and
naturally he failed to mention the
four million dollars-which they
didn't get. He gave us small dose
of whiskey, which seemed to please
the entire audience. H. U. HALL.

that end by Governor Smith.
1t is presumed that the governor
will wait to fill out his term of office,
though his we'll known temper
leaves some doubt on the subject.
New York is the Mecca of many
