NOTICE TO VOTERS.

To the Voters of Cobb County:
Mr. Geo. Owen is claiming that he
is entitled to another term as Tax
Receiver Of the county as he has held
but one. | think he will find that
am as good 1.-TWO term man" as he is,
since he defeated a man who had been
in but one term. If the doctrine is good
now, it was good two years ago, and
Mr.. Owen should have lived up to it
then. He is now stopped by his own
success two years ago from claiming
this as a reason why l should not be
elected.
AS can't leave my business long
enough to see all the voters, and | take
this means of setting myself right before
you on this matter. | will appreciate
your help and support, and believe that
| am as much entitled to it now as Mr..
Owen was two years ago.
If elected tax receiver, | promise to
the best of my ability to make as good
an officer as the county has ever had.
Very truly

Jim Hames and Duard Beshers, two
young men whom Judge Morris charged
the grand jury against at the last term
of court, were arrested a few days ago
on charges of violating the prohibition
law. Judge Morris opened court in
order that they might enter pleas of
guilty and be sentenced Immediately.
This was done in order to save keeping
them in Jail until the next term of
court in July. After he had sentenced
them to nine months each in the chain
gang Judge Morris asked them to tell
him how much whiskey they sold in
night. Hames said II generally sell
from twenty-five to forty pints," and
Beshers replied that he thought he
was doing very we'll when he sold from
fifteen to twenty-five pints.H

land the next day he went to see Mr.
Vanderbilt, Mr.. Rockefeller and Mr.
Carnegie, and applied to them for a
position. They shook their heads and
told him they didn't know him, and
had nothing for him. AS he went
away he was heard to remark you
will know me some day" His predic-
ton came true. They know him now,
and they tip their hats when they
meet him
Shortly after this be was at a pub
lie speaking. He attracted the atten-
ton of one of the Tammany leaders,
on account of his enthusiastic and
earnest attention to the political
speech he was listening to. After the
speaking was over, the Tammany lead
er approached him and introduced
himself to the young Georgia Crack
err and, asked him where he was
from; then invited him to his home
for dinner. The invitation was ac-
copied.
At the dinner table the wife of the
Tammany leader asked the young
Georgia Cracker If ne would have
some ox-tail soup He looked up at
her supposedly, and asked what kind
Of soup did she say it was. She again
said, '@Ox-tail soup" He hesitated for
a moment, and said, Il reckon | will
try little of it; but that's going a
blamed long ways back for soup"
After the dinner was over the host
OF the evening asked him to join Tam
many. This young Georgia Cracker"
replied by saying: q don't know Mr.
Tammany. but if he is against those
blamed Yankees that we're with Sher-
man, who burned our property stole
our stock and cut up all of our best
land into bresat works to get behind
to fight our Southern people, ] am
with him" He joined Tammany, and
ever since then has been fighting the
Yankees.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have with
US today the man that was once de-
scribed as an ordinary nine-pound
Georgia Cracker. He is now one OF
the most distinguished citizens of the
State Of New York. He made good
his threat, and accomplished one of

known in tunneling the Hudson river

A Card From ]. M. Austin, Clerk of
the Superior Court.
To the Voters of Cobb County:

To the Voters of Cobb County:
am not a candidate for any office at
the coming election, and at the end of
my present term ! will have no further
connection with the Clerks office. 1t
has been reported that if Virgil Nc
Cleskey is elected ! will still have
charge Of the Office, and I take this
manner Of denying the assertion.
thank the people Of the county for hay
ing h0nored ne wife the Clerk S office
for three terms and trust that | have
merited the confidence placed in me.
] also wish TO make the following
statement in reference to the announce
ment Of certain candidate for the of
fee Of Clerk of the court. He says,
among other things, that IF he is
elected he will not support his assistant
in a future race. This refers to my
action in supporting Virgil McCleskey
in this race, and ] desire to give my
reasons for doing this. McCleskey en-
tered my office in 1907 as an assistant
at small salary, coming from the
country and knowing nothing about the
office. By hard work and strict atten-
ton to ms duties he has worked himself
up to the position where he is now
thoroughly competent TO attend to the
duties of the office. He is an honest,
sober, hard working young man, and
well deserves the promotion for which
he asks. He has never received any
of the profits Of the office, and has sim
ply worked for the monthly salary
which have paid to him.
The work in the Clerk office has in
creased for the last several years and
it is to the interest Of the people of the
county to elect the most competent
man possible to this Office. When say
that Virgil McCleskey is thoroughly
competent and qualified to attend to
the duties of the Office for which he
asks, I speak from experience. | am
supporting him in this race and will APP
preciate anything my friends can do for
him. lam always ready and willing to
help a young man when he is trying to
help himself. Respectfully.
