Ernest Pigott doubtless has given
splendid satisfaction as one Of the
county assessors. No one hears OF
there being any whimper much less
an uproar against the way he did his
work. One thing that strongly an.
peals in his favor is that he is NOT
antiquated, in other words, he is In
touch with the modern way of doing
things and the county will not go
back TO the old times, If It elects him.
or be confronted with the claim that
this is the way 1t was done years ago
many of them at that. when the
county was in It's infancy compared
with Its present magnificent develop
ment.
A good many of our Democratic
friends want a change the coming
year in the personnel Of
the county court, but not
those who are engaged in the
manipulating of the county affairs
for reasons best known to themselves,
no not those, but the plain, ordInary
Democrats. 1t is not OF special i'm
Dortance that they want this change,
but true nevertheless that they do be-
ceuse they have said so themselves
and will not hesitate to vote for the
change. The Republican party pre-
sents to them a man for county COM
missioner, who suits them-John B.
Strother. He also suits the major
ity OF the Republicans. There will
be a change in the personnel of the
county court.
II Howard Gore is elected county
clerk, and, he is entitled to be and
will be, for the reason that he is
highly capable and the Republican
party chose to make him its nominee
over other strong candidates, there
will be no mistake. He made
clean fight and was nominated
fairly. He is worthy the vote of not
only every Republican in the county
but every, Democrat as well. He is
not man of intrigue and has never
entered into any arrangement, having
financial or secret consideration, for
the purpose OF holding county office.
The people can pin their faith to
Howard Gore, and they will do SO.
The Republican county ticket is,
indeed. made up OF good men, capa-
bic Of discharging the duties of the
respective Offices they seek, with
gratifying ability and satisfaction, as
has been done heretofore and is being
done today. No Republican, no citi-
zens Of Harrison county, need be
ashamed to vote for such men, ana

of the county viii feel proud over the

RESPONSIBILITY FOR HIGH RATE
OF INTEREST FIXED.

1t is we'll known fact that the
farmers and business men of every
class in Terrell county and through
out this section are having to pay the
banks a higher rate of interest this
year, and the reason is that the New
York banks are charging our home
banks more for money loaned to
them.
In a letter to the Sandersville
Progress Mr.. Chales G. Brown of
cambridge thus speaks of financial
conditions:
Bank statements of New York
show that they have more money
than they had Is months ago, and
their rate at home is less than it was
Is months ago, yet they want larg-
er rate when loaning t. concerns in
Georgia. Has anything happened in
Georgia during that time calculated
to bring about such state of af-
fairs? AS | see it, the financial insti-
tutions are afraid of conditions in
communities where successful politi-
clans agitate measures which are be-
lieved to be unsound, unwise and I'M
safe. Let us go back to wisdom, JUS
tice and moderation, and reap again
the prosperity we enjoyed before we
went astray following strange gods. :"

SMITH CLOSE TO THE BREWERS

1t is known that the governors
campaign headquarters are located
in an office building owned by the
secretary of the Atlanta City Brew
ing and Ice Company. One of his
campaign managers owns, or at least
until recently did own, considerable
stock in the brewing company. An
other manager was the representa-
tive of the whiskey interests in their
night against the present law before
the legislature last year; another of
the managers was the only lawyer
OF standing whom the brewers could
hire to try and kill the law through
federal court injunction just pre-
vious to January 1st.
1t is stated that not a single per-
son closely identified with the Gov
ernor's campaign has been identified
with the prohibition movement here
tofore, but most or all of them have
in the past vigorously opposed the
movement.
j. X. Smith, the Atlanta merchant
who of all others was most instru-
mental in getting Mr.. Brown into the
race, and who is now managing his
campaign, has been a lifelong prohi-
bitionist, and was in the delegation
or business men who urged upon the
legislature last summer the enact
ment of the present law.

NOT AN ANSWER TO 1T.

l don't know how Governor Smith
has explained his attitude on immi-
grafton elsewhere in the state, but
when asked, "How about immigra-
tion?" by one of his audience at this
place today he simply said in reply
that he was friend of the farmers,
and had helped them long before
Duckworth, of the Farmers Union,
came from Texas.
1 respectfully submit that this is
neither answer nor explanation. We
wanted to know, and the people of
Georgia want to know, where Mr..
Smith stands on this question.
An attack upon President Duck
worth, or asperslons upon the Farm
ers' Union, or it's officials, cannot by
any possible political bubble be con-
strued into reply to the straigh.
question as to his views upon immi-
grafton Nor are the people to be di-
verted from the real issue by such
attacks.
The people have a right to know
the reason for the extraordinary ac-
ton of Governor Smiths railroad
commission in granting immigration
Agent Betjeman the special privilege
of using free passes-an act which,
more than anything else, has brought
the question to the front in this cam
paign.
And it is a question which the
people of Georgia are not going to
permit to be subjected to the silent
contempt" treatment.

A ISLANDER REFUTED.
There Never Was an Effort to Re-
move Joseph NJ. Brown as an Ex-
ecutOr of His Eather'S Estate.

ecutOr of His Fathers Estate.
Many people, not knowing the
facts, but following their apostle of
misrepresentation, continue to assert
that Joseph M. Brown was removed
from the administration of his faith
er's estate. Nothing is further from
the truth. This matter has been full
ly investigated, and fair-minded men,
knowing the truth, will tell nothing
but the truth.
An investigation shows as the facts
that there was disagreement among
the heirs as to the best method of
winding up the estate. To settle this
the executors proposed to form a
company called THE Joseph e.
Brown Company This was done
and the two executors, the 9TH
er two Brown brothers and their
two sisters were each elected
directors of the company, and
each has been reelected. There is
perfect harmony between them. They
and his bretner-in-law are Zealously
at work for Joseph NJ Brown for
Governor, and they and the people
will elect him. j. w. F. LOWREY.

TONS FROM OPERATING A
RAILROAD IN THE STATE"

RAILROAD IN THE STATE"
1t will also be remembered that
Mr.. Smith promised the people that
the railroads and other public cor
pore tions, such as telephone compa-
MES, should not be allowed to make
above per cent on their invest
ments.
If people elsewhere Aelieved what
Hoke Smith said it was very natural
that they should want their money
withdrawn from Georgia after Smith
was elected.
If the citizens of Georgia believed
what Hoke Smith said it is very nat
ural that they didn't want to buy out
the foreigners when the property
wouldn't bring but five per cent on
the investment.
When we investigate anu see that
it costs about $4,000 per mile to
build and equip a railroad for bus
mess we see at once that we didn't
have enough spare money to buy up
this property, anyway. And what
spare money we did have was worth
more than five per cent.
Therefore the railroads and other
public corporations were placed in a
ruinous condition, because the own
ers were anxious to sell, and nobody
wanted to buy or extend credit to
them.
Therefore from stress of circum-
stances these corporations had to get
out of the market for lumber, tur-
pentine and other supplies which
they had been purchasing; and had
to discharge large numbers of labor
ers. When these labOrers lost their
jobs the merchant sold less goods,
and therefore many clerks were dis
missed. Moreover, when the mer-
chant lost his trade he bought less
goods from the factories; when the
factories couldn't sell their goods
they didn't need cotton; when the
factories didn't need cotton the price
of cotton went down.
Candidate Smith promised this
class legislation We all know it
was wrong. We ought to suffer the
consequences till we undo our part
of the wrong by removing Hoke
Smith from Office.

HOW HOKE CAUSED HARD TINES

When Hoke was making the rae
for Governor the first time he mad
4 great speech, which was publishe
n the papers and sent out as can
paign literature in pamphlet form
Doubtless the voters of Terrell cour
~ will recall the following portion
If this great speech:
Let us demand that legisla-
ton be passed which will pre-
vent the operation of railroads
in Georgia by foreign corpora
tiOns. The frequently suggested
proposition of demonstrating for
eign corporations would be in
effective. North Carolina passed
such legislation and the supreme
court of the United States held
that it did not change the citi-
Zenship of foreign corporations.
If, however, we forbid the oper-
alton of railroads in Georgia by
foreign corporations or non-res-
ident citizens those foreign cor
pOrations which own the rail-
roads will be forced to sell them
or lease them to corporations or
ganiZed in Georgia, and this
course will effectually bring all
railroads within the state into
the hands of domestic corpora
tions.
I'VE should accept no halfway
measure which can be hung up
by injunction.
The legislation should fix a
reasonable time in the future
when it's operation will begin.
This will give the necessary
opportunity for the organization
of local corporations.
Penalties should be provided
for violation of the law which,
vigorously enforced, will protect
people, and assert the states
sovereignty!
Il have insisted that the state
should not permit a foreign cor
poration to perform service
which involves a public duty. An
act providing for demonstrating
foreign railroad corporations
would amount to nothing. ANY
STATE, HOWEVER,, CAN FOR
BID FOREIGN CORPORA

PEOPLE CONDEMN
MOZLEY'S ATTACK ON BROWN

Little Joe Brown and J. E. Motley

a public meeting which was lagely
attended by several hundred voters
and endorsed the candidacy of Lit
tie Joe" for Governor and passed res
Olutions condemning the attack of
Motley on him, characterizing as I'M
true what Motley hac said. Motley
Is also referred to as a disgruntIed
politician who has a personal griev-
ance against Mr.. Brown, and had
more than once threatened VEN
geance. The resolutions say:
Whereas, since the publication of
said letter Mr.. Motley has made the
statement to citizens of Marietta that
he has held a grudge against Mr..
Brown for many years, and that this
was the first opportunity he has had
to strike him; thefore be it
Resolved that we in unmeasured
terms condemn this effort of Mr..
Motley, under the guise of friendship,
to injure the political interests of Mr..
Brown in his race for governor
Resolved further, that said let
ter does not voice the sentiment of
the people of Marietta and Cobb
county.
Resolved further, that we recon-
mend Mr.. Brown to the people of
Georgia as a gentleman of honesty,
integrity and ability, who is held in
high esteem by the people among
whom he lives, and who is eminently
qualified for the position to which
he aspires."

"That CrOss-Eyed Man. y

From the GAINESVILLE Gazette.
If we had the money we'd bet 80
cents that Candidate Smith regrets
now that Governor Smith some
months ago slurringly referred to
Hon. R. F. Duckworth, president of
the Georgia Farmers Union, who
was insisting on certain things for
his organization, as "that eross-eyed
man" The Farmers Union may not
be in politics but it's members are
not denied the right to vote, and
there are a good many of them in
this state.
