WHAT HON. ]. 7. ROYAL, FORMER
SCHLEY COUNTY REPRESENTATIVE
HAS TO SAY ABOUT tom HUDSON
litlcal history was never recorded UN.
DER THE DOME OF OUR CAPITOL.

litical history was never recorded UNs
DER THE DOME OF OUR CAPITOL.
Well the investigation was made by
an expert accountant who was employ
ed by YOUR ENEMIES, and after he
had gone over the whole thing, the only
seemingly defect in your six years rec
ord, was that, a few short term in
spectors had failed to turn-in any sam
Piles during their term of service; but
was this an unusual co-incident?
Surely not, for it was shown that some
of the men were sick, and you wouldn't
have FIRED A SICK FELLOW, even to
have saved YOUR OWN JOB. 1t seems
that | have heard of some Congress-
man drawing their pay while being on
tie sick list, and the people of the 3rd
District didn't kick-up one hit about 1t,
but instead, when the time came
around for reelection, this same sick
Congressman, issued his PLATFORM
OF AFFECTIONS" and mailed it out
to the voters from some point away
out west, asking them to give him an
other trial The people, out of the
goodness of their hearts, aroused by
that sympathy which may always be
found among good people, granted the
favor, and Mr. Crisp is still drawing
the same salary Congressman don't
sit on the job all the time any way;
they take recesses for months at the
time, and the pay goes right on. A
guano inspector is not expected to take
samples every day, anymore than a
sheriff is expected to make an arrest
every day when there has been no war
rant placed in his hands. No man, not
even Mr.. Crisp, can tell when car of
guano will hit given point; it's liable
to turn up most any old time, and in
justice to the farmer, the inspector
should be on the ground.
Not one cent of shortage was shown,
neither was there any intimation OF
dishonesty or inefiiciency on your part;
but, to the contrary, this report will
show that during your entire admins
tration the efficiency of the department
increased yearly, while the expenses
connected with the same decreased
yearly. If the farmers of the Third
District could have the report of the
auditor in this matter before them
they could then learn, in no uncertain
terms, all about your efficiency in the
department, the progress and protec-
ticn that your administration made
possible. This report, coming from
your enemies, show due diligence on
your part, by having guano inspectors
at all times stationed at logical places
throughout the state, that the COM
mercial value of all fertilizers geratly
increased in Georgia under yoar ad-
ministration; it further shows, and in
so many words says, that due to the
activity and efficiency of your depart
ment by reason of a strict and univers-
al system of guano inspection through
out the State, that the manufactures OF
commercial fertilizers, in order to be
sure and come up to the requirements
OF the law, has even gone further and
given the farmers more than the law
required"
In Schley county, the farmers don't
have to look to any source for informa-
ton with reference to guano inspec-
ton, other than to remember how gen.
orally their guano was inspected while
you were commissioner. am farmer
as you know, and use quite little Bit
of guano each year, and can safely
say, that so far as know, not one sack
of fertilizer that has gone on my farm
since your retirement from the Com
missioner's Office has ever been in
spected To the best of my recollection
there might have been two or three in
spectors in Schley county, on perhaps
as many occasions, during the past
theree years. This would look like the
especially so, when Ellaville is rather
large guano market, made so by reason
of having large guano manufacturing
plant.
] understand Mr.. Crisp, in connec-
ton with this, is criticising you, all
over the district for appointing SO
many inspectors without attempting to
show that it was not necessary. He
