.. Who has ever heard in Geor-

These and hundreds of Others the

But the reform movement will not
be checked in Georgia. Behind 1t Is
the bravest band of soldiers that ever
buckled a sword, and they will never
submit to an 'ignomiuious sd'ren-
der"
History teaches that all reforms
have come at the cost OF great sac
rifices to the people, forced by the
great interests which would keep the
people in the grip of the trusts.
The vigilance of the press and the
courage of honest citizens have start
ed reforms that promise to be per
manent, and will never submit "
have saddled upon them, a man from
the very star chamber" of the cue
my's camps. w. o. DEAN
The Brown brigade with horns pr
rade,
Until Hoke goes a cunning. -
Their false attacks he kills WIFI
facts,
And then there is some running
al DER the State in fear they walt
Smiths power and logic dread'ng,
Where'er he goes the verdict shows
The Joe Brown buttons are shea
ding.
We're not surprised, they've been
advised
Their methods were too clanish'
That with the light turned on the
fight
Their plans and schemes Woud
vanish.
Some of the press, we will confess,
May beat our side reporting.
But June the 4th We take an oath
To clean them up" III voting
Daw son. Ga. ". P. II.
According to reports from the
Brown headquarters it has been i'm
possible to get enough buttons. Inc
lanitors who sweep the halls after
Hoke Smith speaks might be able 10
supply the demand.
