To the Editor of The Journal:
The following are some OF the rea-
sons why the people of Tattnall county
should not, and we believe will not,
support Governor Brown Tor govern
or, in the approaching primary on Au-
gust 23, viz:
At the April term of Tattnall. SUI
perior court the following gentlemen
were appointed by the grand jury as
notaries public for their respective dis
tricts: w. A. Kennedy, 18TH district;
H D. Sapp, 1920 district; Lucian VIII
liams. 16o1st district, and Wiley La
nier. S51st district. PROMPTLY AFT
Err COURT ADJOURNED THE CLERK
AS is HIS DUTY, notified the governor
of these appointments so that the COM
missions could be issued by the govern
or to them at once.
Nothing being heard from this notice
about 80 days thereafter the ordinary
of TattnalI, Hon. H. H. Daniel, request
ed the clerk to again notify the gov
ernor of the appointments, which was
promptly done. About 80 days ago. Mr..
Wiley Lanier received his commission.
NOT ONE WORD HAS BEEN RE-
CEIVEu AS TO THE COMMISSIONS
OF THE OTHER THREE GENTLE
MSN.
Can such wilful neglect Of the duties
of so important an office as governor Of
Georgia go unnoticed? The Brown men
cry Brown and Bread" but II they de-
pend on getting bread from the gov
ernor's office and he sends out berad like
he does commissions, they will decide
that another Hoke Smith panic has
struck the country before they receive

Has the governor a spite against
desire simply to keep UP HIS OLD
