Some of the Hoke Smith shouters
who are pretending to feel alarm for
the disfranchisement amendment are
really making all that noise for the
purpose of keeping the people from
looking at something else-to wit
the new rule of the Hoke Smith COM
mittee which deprives minority coun-
ties of representation and which
takes away from the small counties
the share of power allotted to them
by our state constitution.
In other words, the Hoke Smith
committee has amended our constitu-
ton to suit themselves, and the peo-
pie are asked to ratify the outrage
by electing Hoke Smith again.

Use to reduce the rate SO cents per

railroads had heretofore been rob-
bling the people OF for want of a
governor and railroad commission

Does the Terrell County Hoke
Smith Club admit incompetency on
the part of the governor and his rail-
road commission? Or, is it misman-
agement? Or, did Hoke deIiber-
ately deceive the people when he
was running for office.
Hoke Smith was distinguished
lawyer when he was making these
promises, and explaining these rates to
us in 1906. In those days it wouId
have been an insult to suggest that
Hoke Smith as governor and with a
friendly railroad commission Could
not reduce the freight rate on cotton
from Dawson to Savannah. Now If
is admitted that the railroads have
INCREASED the rate over the Dro-
test OF the governor and over the
protest of the commission, with the
only excuse that the increase was
made by the railroads in spite Of
the efforts of the commission to Dre-
vent it,

THE PEOPLE HAVE FOUND OUT.

The people have found out that, in

They have found out that he is a
greater ringster and boss than those
whom he impaled with his sharp
tongue.
They have found out that he is the
greatest autocrat that this or any
preceding generation has seen in the
Governors Office welding a big
stick.
They have found that he can dis
count any preceding Governor, or
boss, in trading with corporations
when his political ends can be serv-
ed, and when trade can be made.
They have found that for bread
he has given them a stone.
And for these reasons the people
have reacted against him. 1t is their

ADMIT HOKE SMITHS INCOMPETENCE
MISN1ANA CEMENT OR DECEPTION

Mr.. G.. II. Arthur, cotton buyer
of Dawson, Ga, who was originally
a strong Hoke Smith man, made pub
lie a statement to the effect that the
freight rate on cotton from Dawson
to Savannah is ~ cents per bale
higher than it was when Governor
Smith and his Railroad Commission
commenced business.
The Terrell County Hoke Smith
Club made reply to these charges in
a recent issue of The Dawson
News, by publishing certain CORE
spondence from Chairman McLendon
and Inman, Akers & Inman, cotton
buyers of Atlanta
In this correspondence it is admit
ted that Mr.. Arthur is correct in
stating that the rate on cotton from
Dawson to Savannah is ~ cents
per bale higher than it was before
Hoke Smith and his commission got
in charge, but they attempt to es-
cape responsibility by saying that
the rates were not increased by the
Georgia Railroad Commission. but
by the railroads in spite of the eff
forts of the commission to prevent
il.

things will Hoke Smith please say
why he was in favor of increasing
the tax on fertilizers, which would
have increased the taxes of Georgia
farmers $4,000 a year? Mr.. Smith
on the 9TH day of last August sent a
special message to the general as
sembly urging them to pass a bill
which would increase the tax on fer
tlllzers Is cents per ton. The farm
ers would have had to paw every
cent OF this tax. 1t is true that the

Hickey did his best to get them to do
so. That is the kind of friend Hokey
is to the farmers-Ocina Star

Effort to Make it Appear Joe Brown
Was Removed from Management
of Fathers Estate.

There have been a number of rath-
er shady tricks invoked to boost
the waning fortunes of the present
governor in his race for second
nomination. His reference to the
father of Little Joe" Brown was
one of the unfair as well as unman-
ly things, but the most unfair-not
to say the dirtiest work of the cam
paign-up to date is the effort to
make it appear that Mr.. Joseph M.
Brown had been discharged from the
management of his fathers estate.
Somebody connected with the Hoke
Smith campaign has sent out from
Atlanta some of the allegation made
by lawyer against Julius L. Brown
in case in which an effort was
made to GUST him. These declara-
tions were not intended to be read
carefully, but were to juggle with
and try to put upon Joseph M. Brown
charges that were made against Ju-
Illus l.. These declarations were sent
to this city, and are now in a safe
here. The gentleman to whom they
we believe is too fair man to make
the use Of them which was intended.
They are an injustice to Julius L.
Brown, as we'll as Little joe" for
the reason that no man is convicted
! upon the allegations or only one law
yer in the case. These people do not
bring forth the answer Of the lawyer
on the other side, neither do they
| try to get the judgment Of the court.
1t is evident, from these things, that
| the truth Is not wanted. 1t is like
other efforts that have been made
to get around Little joe"
These declarations have evidently
! been sent to Cordele, for one OF the
papers there prints an editorial upon
| them. All Of the charges were against
! julius l.. Brown, but in one para
graph of the lawyers declaration it
was added 'all known to Joseph Nj.
| Brown" AS we said before, the de-
cisiOn of the court is the case and
the answer to these declarations are
not made me Atlanta Journal
would not make the charges. or even
the limitations which they convey,
itself, but it reprOduces this mislead-
ing anu uuldlI statement from the
COrdele paper for what it is worth.
While the management of Mr.. JOS
f. Browns estate is not an issue
in this campaign The Times does
not mind telling the facts in the case.
Julius l.. and Joseph M. Brown were
executors of the estate of their faith
err. Joseph NJ. Brown was a men,
Der of the railroad commission and
his time was occupied with his du-
ties there. Teh other heirs wanted
him to take charge of the property
and thus GUST Julius, but he declined
because of his duties as railroad
ties there. The other heirs wanted
ed to dispose of property in Texas
and near Atlanta, but Julius L. balk-
ed because the property was steadily
increasing in value. When J. M
Brown refused to take the estate in
to his own hands the heirs brought
proceedings against Julius. Joseph
M. Browns name being mentioned
only as being influenced by Julius"
The Joseph f. Brown CORPORATION
was then formed and oficered nv va
rious heirs Of the estate. Mr.. Joe
