the plan according to the ''settil4g OF
the political table," the matter just
had to be deferred until after JACK
could be elected Governor; SO the
committee was given their instruc-
tons to, at least, Investigate twelve
mouths, and file their report lat the
next session. "A diytier piece of po-
lit:Cal history Was never recorded
UNDER THE DOME OF OUR CAPT
Toll.
Well, the investigation was made
by an expert accountant who was en-
ploycd by YOUR ENEMIES, and af-
ter he had gone over the whole thing,
the only seemingly defect in your six
years record, was that, few short
term inspectors had failed to turn-in
any samples 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 the sick list, and the people Of the
3rd District didn't kick-up one bit
about it, but instead, when the time
came around for reelection, this
same sick Congressman, issued his
"PLATFORM OF AFFLICTIONS"
and mailed it out to the voters from
some point away out west, asking
them to give him another 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 OIL tho
Job all the time any way; they take
recesses for months at the time, and
the pay goes right on. A guano in
speCtor is not expected to take SAM
pies every day, any more than
sheriff is expected to make an arrest
every day when there has been no
warrant placed in his hands. No
man. not even Mr. Crisp, can tell
when a car Of guanO will hit a 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 intima-
ton of dishonesty or inefficie on
your part; but, to the contrary. tnis
report will show that during your
entire administration 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, az
about your efficiency in the depart
ment, the progress and protection
that your administration made pos
sible. This report, coming from your
enemies, shows 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 greatly
increased in Georgia under your ad-
ministration; it further shows, and in
so many words says, that due to the
activity and efficiency of your de-
partment by reason of strict and
universal system of guano inspection
throughout the State, that the manu-
facturers 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"
