Hon. Augustus o. Bacon is a native
of Bryan county, Ga, and was born
there on October 90, 1889. He was real
ly of Liberty county family, however,
his mother at the time of his birth be-
ing on a visit to relatives in Bryan
county. His father was Rev. Augustus
O. Bacon, a Baptist minister, and on
his maternal side he is a granddaughter
of the late Judge William Law, of Sa-
vannah, one of Georgia's most distin-
guished men.
Both of his parents dying young, the
lad was left to the care of his grand
mother and spent his bOyhOod in LIB

the University of Georgia, graduating
in the collegiate course in 1859, and
from the law school in 1860. In Octo-
Der of that year he began the practice
of his profession in Atlanta, but in
May, 1861, he went into the army as
adiutant of the Ninth Georgia regi-
ment. In 1864 he married Miss Vir-
ginia Lamar, of Macon, and after the
restoration of peace resumed the prac-

where he has since lived. As a lawyer
Maj. Bacon took high rank from the
start and he has long held a command
ing place in his profession.
He began his political career in 1868,

tor for the then Fourth congressional
district. In 1870 he was elected to the
state legislature. Two years later he
was reelected and became speaker of
the house. In 1874 he failed of rcelec-
ton to the speakcrship, but in 1876 the
honor was again bestowed on him; and
then again in 1877 and 1850. In 1883 he
was Il candidate for governor, but
failed to get the nomination. His run
for the United States senate, which

most remarkable in Georgia history. 1t

until the senatorial plum was fairly
within his reach.

have been no announcements for alder
men from the various wards. The cit

they would offer and no doubt they
would be elected.
But there is other material In the
various wards that are being spok-
en- Of. Among the more prominent in
the First ward l., x. Harpold. S. d.
Trowel and the present incumbent,
George H. McLln, who has made a
good alderman.
The Second ward comes in with c. i.
Phillips, who Is the senior member
from that ward; Jim Hooper, W. Il.
Speel, and NJ. Lewis are spoken of as
good material for aldermen
The Third ward is ably represented
by A. l.. Smith, who can, we expect, be
persuaded TO make the race again, but
the Third ward is not behind in good

mentioned in that respect will show.

Is evident that these special funds,

Issue at Savannah.

Savannah. Ca, Feb. 25.-This after
noon committee of twelve leading
members of the Ancient order of HI
bernlans waited on Mayor Meyers and
presented him n petition signed by
about 500 members of that order and
other Catholics. The petition stated
that II had been learned that ex-Priest
Slattery and his wife. who Is an eN-
nun. would lecture here tomorrow night
on Catholicism. and that the signers
were satisfied that II they were allowed
to speak trouble. disorder and riot
would prevail. In the interest of peace
and order they consequently appealed
to the mayor not to allow them to lee
ture.
Mayor Meyers, in reply. presented the
committee from the Ancient order OF
Hibernlans with written opinion from
city Attorney Adams, who held that
there was no statue or city ordinance
which would uphold an order by the
mayor preventing the lecture.
No breach of the peace can ensue,"
said Mayor Meyers. "lf those who will
be offended by slatterys remarks stay
away, and the mayor cannot anticipate
that he will violate the law In his ex-
pressions.'
Mayor Meyers then told the commit
tee. who were dissatisfied with the de-
cision. that he was determined to do
everything in his power TO prevent
disorder at the meeting. He advised
the committee to advise members of
the Catholic churches to remain at'ay
from the hall If they did not care TO
hear the lecture peacefully.
