GOVERNORS SECOND SPEECH
IN HIS CAMPAIGN FOR
REELECTION.
He Has Faith in the Bill to Prevent
Lobbying and Thinks Primaries
Should BE Held Close to
the Election.

the Election.
Governor Smiths second speech in
his campaign was made in the court
house in Covington to a large au-
dience.
The speech was upon the public
questions of the day He stated that
the panic was the result of high fl
Wandering in New York and other
eastern cities, stated that the prohibi-
ton law should be rigidly enforced
and that any move started to pro-
tect it should be started by it's friends
and not it's enemies; favored the ulti-
mate extension of the state road to
the sea. He said that he would be
able to pay every pension in full. at
the beginning of each year if the con-
stitution was amended so as to al
low him to borrow money when nee
essary, instead of 100000 as now
permitted. He pleaded for an extern
sion of the school facilities of the
state until at least every white boy
and girl in Georgia could be given
at least a common school education.
Governor Smith discussed legisla-
ton which he insisted should be pass
ed. He expressed his faith in the
bill to prevent lobbying and urged
the passage of legislation which
should fix by law the time for hold
| ing primaries. He said that the time
of the primary should be close to the
time of election and to the time when
the person elected to office would be-
gin his official service.
Speaking of the action of the last
legislature which made the pensions
payable quarterly instead of yearly in
advance, he said:
"The old soldiers will not allow
themselves deceived into believing
that any member of the legislature
who voted for the measure sought to
injure them. I did not suggest the
bill to the legislature. The commit
tee on appropriations in the general
appropriation bill provided for quar-
terly payments of pensions. They
made the change because they be-
lieved tina money would not be in

the treasury to pay out $3.50, 900 the
first of the year for pensions and also
pay up the $4,000 to those counties
that had received nothing in 1907
and yet leave money in the treasury
for the support of the various insti--
tutions of the state. They did not
believe that the old soldiers would
want to be paid in advance in full
and thereby sacrifice the other obli-
cations of the state. They felt that
the old soldiers had shown too much
heroism in the hour of battle not
to be ready now to aid the state in
an hour of emergency.
81 wish to say again to the old SOL
diers that if the lump payment of all
of their pensions at one time is in
their opinion necessary to their COM
fort or convenience this must be
reached by amending the constitution
so as to allow the governor to bor-
row for the purpose, if the condition
OF the treasury Will not permit the
payment except by borrowing the
money.
1--WE have carefully watched the
financial interests of the state and it
gives me pleasure to say that with
the increased amount collected from
railroads and public utility companies
and from other sources the treasury
is in better condition than l hoped
and we will be able to pay the second
quarter to the soldiers without wait
| ing until the first of June. 1t is pay
able during the quarter beginning
April 1, and not later than June /.

The remains of Turner H. John
son, age Sc years, arrived at his home
near Oakville, Ind, one day last week
from Waterloo, where he was instant

about to board for Detroit, where he
was to purchase an automobile. John

When Mrs. Johnson died two years
ago her request was to have her body
cremated in Cincinnati and the ashes
of her body sprinkled over a farvorite
rose bush in the yard of their home

pose of his body in the same manner,
but some of his relatives are opposing
it.

Don't bear unnecessary burdens.
Burdens of a bad back are unnec-

Lots of local endorsement to prove

says: MY back was very weak ana
ached constantly. l could not ma
anything to do it any good, although
| used remedies, wore plasters ana
rubbed it with liniments. The dull
aching caused me to lose sleep at
night and 1 would rise in the morn
ing as tired as when [ went TO PED.
The secretions from the kidneys were
red and full of sediment, causing me
no end of suffering. The lack OF
rest was undermining my genera
health At this time heard about
Doan's Kidney Pills and got Dox'

Bird. All cases are fully investi-
gated by the solicitor, and all worth
less and frivolous cases are dis
missed.
4th. We believe the court and its
officers stand for the legal suppress
sion of crime and the enforcement
of law and order.
5th. If the city court were abol-
ished our jail fees, already high,
would get higher, and the people
would be taxed to feed worthless ne
groes in Jail. Accommodating expenses
is not economy.
9Th. Superior court would I'M
doubtedly run eight or ten days
longer in May and June when farm
ers are busy and need their hands

For these reasons we ask the peo-
pie of Terrell county to think care
fully before they ask the legislature
to abolish the city court.

We also find from the minutes of
the City Court which are now of
record in the clerks Office that dur
ing the year 1905 the court was in
session in all with juries thirteen
days, on the following days: Janu-
airy 10th, April 18th, July 18th, 18th,
18th, goth, 21st, October 18th, De-
cember 18th, 18th, 18th, 14th, 10th.
We find that bond cases are as a
rule tried only during July and De-
cember, when the farmers are at
leisure, and it is convenient for them
to attend court. Jail cases and civil
cases are tried at the regular quar-
terly terms of the court, and the jail
kept as clear of misdemeanor prison
ers as possible. This is a saving to
the county, as it costs $1,000 per
month to feed prisoners in Jail, and
prisoners who cannot give bond
should be tried as speedily as con-
sstent with justice. To illustrate
our meaning, suppose ten loating ne
grOes commit misdemeanOr Offenses
during December, as frequently hap
pens, and are committed to Jail. No
one will stand their bond, as no one
knows them, and the county is com
PEELED to feed them until the supe-
TiOr court meets in May, period OF
five months, at $1,000 per month,
or $500. This, we are reliably in
formed, happens frequently, and that
during the course of a year as many
as 80 or 40 jail cases are tried.
We also find that the grand jury
at the November term, 1905, of the
superior court of Terrell county
made the following report:

JOHN RINEHART Is NOW ElCH

Love of adventure seventeen years
ago led John Rinehart. a laborer at

land and come in search of strange
experiences in this country. Thurs
day, though he had not heard from
home in all that time, he was in
formed that he was heir to Ger
man estate valued at from s50.00O
to 100000.
Rinehart was bubbling over with
the news Friday while in Greeley and
told all who knew him that he was
now wealthy and would not have to
,, work longer for a living.
Rinehart left home at the age OF

giving him little money to explore
