Smith, Gov. Browns contentious
are simply nnanswerable and his
opponent had as well admit facts SO
plain and patent to every unbiased
observer. Gov. Brown can we'll
challenge, not only former Govern
or Of Georgia for a comparison Of
achievements. His genius for get
ting down to bedrock facts and
principles and laying them bare for
consideration, so that any one may
read and comprehend, is simply
marvellous. He pierces with an
IthuriaI spear the coverings Of the
general platitudes and issues pro-
mulgated or sought to be promul-
gated by GOV. Smith.
We hope every one will obtain
and read the letter referred to, but
for our limited space we would pub
fish it, as it is we can only give a
synopsis.
Getting down to the right, is it
not true that every voter is in duty
bound, if they wish the right, to
vote for Gov. Brown for another
term if they wish a safe, sane, sem
sible and statesman-like adminstra-
ton. We do believe we should,
and laying all prejudice aside vote
for Gov. Brown and generations to
come will rise up and call us blessed
This is written with no desire to
stir up strife and discord, but to
suggest a fair and honest inspection
Of true and naked facts.

Under that pledge from the white
people Of Georgia that their state
government would be one Of the
masses and not the classes--one Of
constructive intelligence and not
destructive agitation-under this
pledge tIlas every citizen and every
dollar would enjoy equally the bene-
fits Of government, 50 long as they
bear equally the obligations Of So

Prof. T. A. Early, a professor in
the State Agricultural College at
Athens and the head of the BOYS
Corn Clubs throughout the state,
was in Atlantr this week for the
purpose Of comforting with the pro-
motors Of Atlanta's Corn Show,
which is to be held here in the late
fall. Prof. Early is enthusiastic
over the outlook for the local show,
believing it will be one OF the most
successful in the history Of the south.
He is particularly impressed with
the enthusiasm among the local
promoters.
Prof. Early states that there are
approximately 5000 boys who are
members Of the various corn clubs
which are to be found in more than
forty counties in all parts Of the
state. From these clubs there will
be more than 800 entries in the
state fair at Macon. Professor
Early belieyes, and he feels certain,
that a goodly number Of the best

wise and sensible to do this in all

we know them to be, as the reading

20 our mind, be but one conclusion
and that is that Governor Brown
has made an array Of facts that are

Union News
for Stevens

The Farmers Union News, in a
recent editorial, strongly urges the
reelection Of Hon. O. b. Stevens
as a member OF the railroad COM
mission, on the ground that he is
the only farmer member Of the
board, and the farmers Of the state
are entitled to that recognition.
The Union News says in part:
There are at this time three
lawyers and one railroad man and
one farmer on the Georgia railroad
commission. We have no objection
to there being lawyers on this COM
mission, we have no objection to
what is termed business men on the
commission. We do feel, however,
that it is but fair to the farmers Of
the state that there should be one
farmer in the councils Of that body"
After referring to the fact that
Colonel Stevens assisted the Farm
ers Union in bringing about the
sought for reduction in passenger
rates, the News continues:
1t is a bit strange to us that an
effort should be made at this time
to remove the only farmer from
this commission, Are we to under
stand that it was because he cham
pioned che farmers request for the
reduction Of passenger rates? It
looks suspicious to u.s."
The Doublin Courier Dispatch
says:
Hon. o. B. Stevens is the only
farmer on the railroad commission,
and is the only one Of the commits
siCners who has opposition. Why
is it desired that no farmer be left
on the board2 There is one oppos-
ing candidate. He is lawyer by
the name Of Perry. Under the law
he is required to pick the man he
prefers to oppose. He did not pick
the lawyer or the railroad man, but
the farmer Of the board. If he is
elected, the board viii be composed
of one railroad man and four law
years.
why is it necessary to remove
the farmer from the board2"
The paper quoted above has
brought out the issue and it is
clear cut one. Shall the farmers
of Georgia permit the precedent
that they viii hereafter have on
their railroad cOmission, no farm
ers, but only lawyers and railroad
men? If Mr., Stevens is defeated
at this time it simply means the de-
stroying of the hitherto custom of
keeping at least one farmer on this
board. 1t would look better to us,
and sound more in proportion, if
there was at least two farmers on
the board, but we have been con-
tent with only one, and now there
seems a desire on the part of some
body to remove him.
