My dear Sir: I have just finished reading
your articles in the Jeffersonian, all of which
I enjoy very much. Your editorials show
ing the advantage given to the large counties
in Georgia over the country counties in wip
ing out county units and county lines are
timely and to the point; if the people of
Georgia fail to heed what you say on this line
it will not be long before they will wish that
they had.
I note that Gov. Smith says that “he has
captured Tom Watson’s followers and that he
is now going to bury Tom Watson.” After
this I think we all should rise and sing the
long meter doxology and be dismissed, for
there is not a man in Georgia but knows
what Tom Watson did for Hoke Smith two
years ago, and this is the thanks he gets for
it.
I note also that some are making a great
effort trying to show that disfranchising the
negro is an issue in this campaign. If there
is a man in Georgia who believes this I would
like to meet him, just to see what kind of
looking object he is. I think he would un
doubtedly have “horns and er tail,” for we
all know that the legislature passed a law
about a year ago disfranchising the negro and
the law was signed by the governor. All that
is left now to be done is for the people to vote
on it in the October election. Then what has
this to do with the June primary? Nothing
in the world. Then why bring it up? Simply
to try to deceive or fool a few people to get
their votes.
THE JEFFERSONIAN.
