Why Nc Oppose Doe Brown.

We are opposed to Joe Brown because he is the
candidate of vindictiye spite against great gov
ernor who dared carry out the policies on which
he was elected because he is the candidate great
corporations that would control in Georgia as they
have done in other states, not only in the making
but the enforcement of the laws to the advantage
of the rich and strong and the consequences dis
advantage of the masses and the laborer because
in his capacity as railroad commissioner he has
always been the champion of the roads against th e
public, and as governor would be much the same
agent of the railroad companies: because he is the
candidate of the whiSkey interest and has pracG
callv the support of every saloon man in Georgia;
because he is a weakling aud would be a failure in
the high and important office, t lie puppett of
the railroad and whiskey interest in the state ever
ready to do their bidding; because he is a failure
as a man and pRbiic official.
THE VERY REASONS FOR WHICH THE
CORPORATIONS NEED HIM AND THE
WHISKEY INTEREST WANT HIM ARE THE
REASONS WHY WE OPPOSE Brown.
A comparison of the registered list of voters
of Fulton county with the Joe Brown club list ex
poses the ridiculous claim of the men who are try
ing to defeat Hoke Smith We hope some reader of
the Enterprise has preserved both lists as they
have been published in full in the Atlanta papers.

Why We Are Supporting Smith.

Because he was the only candidate for gov
ernor two years who had the manhood to go
before the people and champion the disfran
chisement of the purchasabIe colored voter.
Because has as far as in his power carried
out every promise made to the. people in his
campaign.
Because he has hurled defiance at the cor
porations which have sought to dominate the
affairs of the people Of Georgia and have laws
enacted which would benefit the classes and
not the masses.
Because, while declaring himself in favor
of the local option, he set aside his personal
convictions and signed the prohibition bill
which makes the sale of intoxcants to Geor.
gia men and Georgia sons an illegal and pun
ishable act. If he had not declared that he
would sign such It bill we would never have
had the champions which carried it thro both
houses.
Because he has ousted from political favor
the gang of grubstaking politicians who
imagined that they could control Georgia
indefinitely. n
Because he began as poor boy, a school
teacher at Wayntsboro, and worked his way
to the top in the capital city of the state,
without the aid of an immense fortune.
Because he reflected honor upon Georgia as
member of thecabinet of the only democratic
president that the United States has had
since 1890.
Because he is man Of force and action, an
aggressive, hard working, clear thinking gov
ernor who has acpomDlisbPd one orpat srrcocs
after another.
Because he mingles with the people and
places his policies forward and challenges his
opponents to contgovert them.-Saundelsvill

Not unlike the conditions that confronted so

to the oustng of the rum element and the corpora

Gradually, so gradually and slyIy had the

make me believe he would never lie

Because Washington Is Dead

One of the most impressive of the
ceremonies prescribed in the chapter on
'Honors and Distinctions" of the United
States navy regulations is that to be
followed when a vessel of the navy, on
it's way up or down the Potomac river,
passes Washington's tomb at Mount
Vernon. Unfortunately the observance
of this ceremonial is limited to smaller
ships, as for such only is the Potomac
at this point navigable. The dispatch
boat Dolphin. the presidents yachts
Mayfiower and SylpL, and the smaller
cruisers and gunboats that occasion
ally visit Washington for presidential
inaugurations or similar events, observe
the ceremonial so strictly that it would
seem through infrequent occurrences
1T gains in interest. When any naval
vessel approaches Mount Vernon the
marine guard and the band are paraded,
the ships bell is tolled and the colors
half.masted. When opposite Washing
TONS tomb the bugles sound taps"
the marine guard presents arms and all
officers and men stand at attention and
salute-Harper's Weekly.

Quaint and Curious

From the foundation of the province
of Pennsylvania slavery existed there
though few of the Quakers were slave
owners. The German portion of the
population were less scrupulous. AL

expostulated against slavery, and in
1888, in the Germantown meeting a re-
monstrance against 1T was read. Ben
jamin Franklin early Joined the op-
ponents of slavery and on his death bed
he wrote a powerful appeal for its
abolition. In 1880 Pennsylvania passed
the famous act for the gradual abolition
of slavery, but the last slave did not
disappear until seventy years later.

the world. OF population of 100000
there are slaves to the number of TO-

its girl slaves, and mans position is
usually gauged by the number he
keeps. At any age from to 10 girls
are sold, or 8 being the age at which
most change hands. The girls are pur-
chased to do housework, it being
cheaper to buy than to hire. Slaves

Science and Invention

Wireless electricity is French cleo
tricity and was born in the city of
LYONS, 1t is electrical power trans
mitted without wires. 1t may be called
an extension of the wireless use of cleo
tricty. 1t is still kept a secret and it
seems that onl:' one person in Lyons
possesses a knowledge of all the facts
on the subject. He is prominent
broker who has financed the enterprise.
All the work in perfecting the invention
was carried out at the castle of prom
inent manufacturer of Lyons, and only
two persons were allowed to know
what was going on. Some two weeks
ago the first experiments were made.
A miniature street car was moved over
a fiat space by electricity communicated
from a distance of several yards. The
invention is being tried in Marseilles
on a street car line and applied to sew
eral different kinds of machinery.

An automatic bootblack gives you
"shlne" in England. The only manual
labor necessary is to fix the boot or
shoe to be cleaned, irrespective of size
or shape, upon a frame. The article
is then carried by an endless chain past
six pairs of resilient brushes which
are continually revolving. The dust is
first removed, then the cleaning me-
dunn applied, and a brilliant shine
finally impaired. With this mechan-
ical appliance from fifty to ninety pairs
of boots per hour can be cleaned. A
later application of the apparatus will
seriously threaten the existence of the
human bootblack. Instead at the street
corners will be found an automatic
machine. where, by the insertion of
nickel or two, you place your foot upon
a rest and have them cleaned and pol
ished in the space of about minute.
In Berlin arrangements have been COM
pleted for the installation of these ma
chimes in the principal thoroughfares
throughout the city.
