9aiyod two years ago, and if the

,l,1ra is every reason to believe that
INV Good county will be found in his
column

viii he necessary for him to vote in
his own militia district, else he will
Lo as effectually disfranchised as if
to had not gone to the unreasonable
+ronbIa of registering six months in
ADVANCE of the election. Your vote
oonror be legally received except at
1onr own precinct, so if you expect

q u WIZ
This is another one of the new
cnts of the Hoke Smith legislature
of 1908 aimed at the farmer vote,
j and will inconvenience many of them
who have heretofore voted at the
1 court house.
Bnt. I believe, the farmers are
not fooled They are going to vote
& next Tuesday, and the politicians
y who have fixed laws making it hard
s for them to exercise their manhood
4 right might as well understand it.
d They are going to vote for pros
nerity against hard times, and
against this everlasting turmoil OF
notifies. They know Governor Brown
B stands for peace and plenty, and are
& with him heart and soul.
We all know that cotton dropped
from twelve to eight cents a pound
3 during HOke Smiths administration
Il We all know that the railroads had
q nothing to do except run their trains
with small crews, and a smaller
number of trains than had been run
ming in Georgia in ten years. We
all know that half of the cars in
Georgia were on side tracks, and that
the biggest engines the roads had
we're in the shops and out of use
4 We all know that from a period OF
unprecedented prosperity Georgia
dropped back without cause to q
period of almost unprecedented hard
times.
His opponents have never accused
Hoke Smith of being solely response
bic for the hard times, but they dc
believe that he was responsible in
solar as he had the ability. He was
a man of great influence from the
fact that he had been a member OF
Cleveland's cabinet, and was sup
posed to be a conservative. WheI
= he doomed up as a radical of radi
Gals, merely to demand office, he
shook confidence in Georgia and
caused foreign investors to with
draw their money from this state
He is the same Hoke Smith today
that he was two and four years ago
and if he is elected governor of Geor.
gia it is verify believed that the peo
pie of Georgia will feel the heavy
hand upon them as they felt it dur.
ing the two years that he was II
office
The question that presents itselt
in this campaign is merely this:
Does the farmer, the merchant, the
manufacturer and the mechanic
want to swap the conditions we have
s. today with those we shook off after
Hoke Smith surrendered the reins Of
Office to Little Joe Brown" There
can be but one answer, and that will
be made emphatic by the voters Of
the state on Tuesday of next week
/ urge upon the friends of Governor
Brown to go to the polls on that day
and see that Terrell county takes hel
nghtful place in the ranks of the
Il prosperity parade that will march
trlumDhantly through Georgia.
