NOT RIDICULE, BUT FACTS
MOzley's Article About Joe Brown
Has Not Been Answered. Some
Points of the Camnaipn.


Will not the friends of Little Joe"
give us stubborn facts, and not ridi-
Guile, in reply to Browns neighbor,
Motley, who says Joe Brown has been
dismissed from every Office he ever
held for incompetency, even from the
management of his fathers estate,
and this by his own kith and kin. as
shown by the court records of Fulton
county.
Has Little Joe" ever added one
cent to the legacy left him by his
father? Is it not true that his hold
ings have grown beautifully less? So
say his neighbors.
Will they tell what he has ever
done for Georgia that he should now
be made governor? Will they tell us
il there be anything in his paternal
record that even gives him a faint
of hereditary right?
Read ex-Mayor SHADES letter on
this point.
A certain farmer, on selling his
cotton a few days ago for a round 9
cents, remarked, TOO much reform"
and rumor has it that he has Joined
forces with Little Joe." Wonder il
this farmer never before heard of
men holding cotton at the wrong
time? This is an almost annual oc-
currence. He could have gotten Ii
and IL cents for every pound of it
had he not bet on a rise" and lost.
and this, too, while Hoke Smith was
Governor.
If Mr.. Smith must be blamed for
the manipulations of Wall street and
Liverpool as to the prices of cotton
what about the price of other farm
products? Corn, peas, potatoes, hay,
fodder and almost every other pro-
duct of the farm is very high, max
ing those Of us who have to buy those
tnlngs vince when we dig down into
our pockets to pay the farmers price.
Should not Mr.. Smith, on the same
principle, be credited with these
elevated prices? Let's be reasonable.
According to accounts from all
sources no state in the union has suf-
fered less from the panic than has
Georgia. The high financing of the
insurance and trust bank magnates
brought on the panic. These rascals
have committed suicide or have lost
their jobs, and the affairs of the
country are rapidly readjusting them
selves.
Will the wise ones tell us where
Little Joe" stands on the disfran-
chisement proposition? Read Capt.
SHADES letter and see how dearly
beloved was the ignorant negro by
! Joseph Brown, Sr. The old gentle
man seems to have been very fond of

to commit himself on this important
issue it would seem that he, too.

purchasable factor in the politics Of
Georgia. AS to the negro, from the
standpoint of a human being, there

Now, it was Mr.. Smith who made
Acknowledgement possible in Geor-

unanimous reelection.
This he owes to the people who
elected him two years ago. This duty
he is trying to fulfill.
