impressed everyone In Atlanta as q rank frea-
trader. In his conversation with me he made a
most astounding statement. l told him / was
born In Ireland, and he said that Ireland was
ruined because free trade was taken away from
her. l felt that there was no necessity in DENY

ist- HIS speech made q number of such con-
versions. He came down there to instruct the
Georgia people, and he Disguised them. One of
his statements was that the people of Georgia
could not raise rice. Now, it is q notorious
fact that the swamps along the
coast of Georgia and North Carolina are
fit for nothing but rice. We know what we can
do in Georgia, and We want no instruction
from such men as Bynum. While Bynum was
making his speech, and working his free-trade
organ for all il was worth. / approached a crowd
of workingmen who were listening. and their
remarks were anything but complimentary to
the Iudisnian. Ono man said: 4 am no such

about the negpo votes in Georgia never being
counted. When there is a Prohibition election
they are counted and recounted, but when there
is a Presidential election they may be permitted
to vote, but their votes are not counted. That
is he e'st of the whole business. Prohibition
speakers in the North are telling you what
their psrty is doing for the South, but 1 say
