To the Voters of the Blue Ridge
Circuit:

Circuit:
In my speech at Blue Ridge in
the presence of Hon. II. L. Patter-
terson, | stated that four years ago,
after Col. Patterson had been a
candidate for sometime, he ap-
preached me in Marietta and made
myself and Hon J. Z. Foster "a
proposition to withdraw from the
race for Judge if each of us would
pay one-half of his expenses in
Cured up to that time; that agreed
to the proposition and subsequently
paid my half; that Col. Foster in
the conference did not agree to it.
l challenged Col. Patterson to deny
this statement at the time, if he con-
tended that it was not true. He
made no denial.
Since that time he has made
speeches in Cobb County and other
places to the effect that he had al
ready withdrawn before any eX-
penses were mentioned, and that |
or my friends made the suggestion
concerning the expenses, after he
had withdrawn from the race. In
speech at Free Home Saturday of
last week, he made the same state
ment in his speech concerning the
matter. In each of his speeches, he
made the statement that ]. G. Rob
erts sent him a check for my one
half of the expenses. He also stat
ed that the only reason he withdrew
from the race was because of the
sickness of his mother.
After he thoroughly committed
himself to these statements at Free
Home, then asked him if he did
not write and sign the letter that |
then presented to him. He admit
ted that he did. The letter is as fol

COBB COUNTY FOR COL.
PATTERSON FOR JUDGE
CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE
CONFIDENT OF RESULT
Appeal to Voters to Put End
to Factionalism in Politics
of This Circuit.
To the Voters of the Blue Ridge

Circuit:
Believing that it is to the best
interest of the people of the Blue
Ridge Circuit to elect to the high
and honorable office of Judge of the
Superior Court, man who is not
allied with any faction, and by so
doing, eliminate factional politics,
the Patterson Campaign Committee
OF Cobb County commend for the
consideration of the voters, the Can
didacy of Hon. Henry L. Patter-
son of the County of Forsyth.
We believe that the people are
ready and anxious to vote for
man whose election insures the
elimination of factional politics in
the Circuit. We know this to be
true in the County of Cobb, and we
believe it is true in the other Coun-
ties. The election of H. L. Patter-
son to this high office will eliminate
it, and when he is elected, we will
have no politics in our Courts, but
will have a fair impartial admins
tration of the laws.
We take this method of advising
the people of the Circuit that Cobb
County is for Patterson by an over
whelming majority. We believe he
will be elected on the 21st day of
August, and in this way wipe out
the bitterness and strife which now
exists in this Circuit on account of
the judicial politics. The people of
the State of Georgia have their eyes
upon us, and are anxiously await
ing the results. 1t is conceded by
the conservatives that Cobb County
is for Patterson by an enormous
majority. If this fact was doubted
by any conservative, to convince
him that it is true, he would have to
do nothing but make visit to Cobb
County, and determine for himself.
There is no question about the re-
suit in Cobb. The Committee has
good reports from every county in
the Circuit except Gilmer. On the
2lst day of August, we confidently
expect majority in six of the sew
en- counties in the Circuit, and to
this end, we urge every supporter
of Patterson to 60 to the polls and
vote, and to see that free ballot
and fair count is had in every mill
tia District in the Circuit.
Our candidate, Mr.. Patterson, is
eminently qualified to fill the place.
His long experience at the bar, his
profound knowledge of the law, fits
him for the discharge of the duties
Of this office. He has convinced the
people of this County of his ability
to discharge the duties, and Our
people have implicit confidence in
his integrity, and on the 21st day of
August 1912, Cobb County will roll
up handsome majority. His race
has been conducted on a high and
honorable plane, in fact Judge Pat
teson does not know any tricks in
politics, but is going before the peo-
pie, and discussing the issues of
the campaign on high and honor
able plane. We commend his can
didacy to the voters Of the Blue
Ridge Circuit, and assure them that
in his election, we will make no
mistake.
Respectfully,
Cobb County Patterson Campaign
Committee,

then asked him if in reply to
this letter, we did not have the
meeting in Marietta on July 18th.
He admitted that we did. | then

meeting did not decline to pay him
anything. He stated that he did.

Foster letter in which he threat
to withdraw his proposition. He
stated emphatically that he did not

letter and asked him if he did not

wrote and signed the letter. The

Explains About Bryan County Taxes.
Durant Okla. Jan. 4~ln a daily
paper Of Dec n appeared an article
entitled, why Taxes Are High in
Oklahoma and it gave as reason
therefor that the County Excise
Boards OF the State had levied more
money than was necessary to defray
the estimated expenses OF such coun-
ties for this fiscal year. and there
was appended to said article what
purported to be a table showing the
amounts levied by each county in
excess of the estimated needs Of such
counties 1t states that Bryan county
levied in excess OF the estimated
needs of the county the sum Of
81, 163, and purports to give the exact
figures thereon.
The estimated needs Of Bryan coun-
ty Tor all purposes for this fiscal year
was Sl0S,2T4. and the estimated in
come to the county from all sources
was s96,042, which leaves a net bat
ance TO be raised by taxation OF
$72, ,232. The law provides how that
sum shall be raised and II says (Ses-
sion Laws 1910, chapter 81, sec. W.
that the County Excise Board shall
add to the net amount to be raised
10 per cen, thereof for delinquent
taxes, which it is estimated by the
law will never be collected. Then
adding to the $72,232 the 10 per cent
thereof, as the law requires, it makes
the sum Of 79,455.20, which the law
fixes as the basis for making the levy
for county purposes.
The total value OF the taXable prop
erty in the county after the State
Board OF Equalization had made the
,aise in valuation and as returned to
the County Clerk by the State Boaro
lis s1S.044,3S5. The levy therefore TO
raise the $40, 1920, which includes the
ID per cent the law requires for de-
inouent taxes, is a little more than
Ia mills on the dollar, and the County
Excise Board only levied a. mills
which makes shortage OF $999l
under the estimated needs OF tht
county instead OF an excess Of $1l63
as was stated in the article referred
to. ]. r. Mcintosh, County Attorney
