Logical candidate for Governor of Georgia James M. Smith
A Bostwick, Georgia letter dated June 20 1905 extols James M. Smith of Oglethorpe County as the logical governor candidate. It lauds his postwar farming ascent from a credit buy to owning about 20000 acres with diversified crops and rail lines. The piece argues farmers should elect a farmer governor to boost Georgia agriculture and inspire youth to stay in farming.
