With this issue The Southern
Star places at its masthead the State
ticket nominated by the Populis.s
and Prob tbitionists of Georgia as
their convention which was held in
this city last week.
For ten Yeas past The Star hat
advocated Prohibition, Morality and
Reform. 1t has labored INCREASINGLY
for the cause of right. We have
waited patiently for polit cal party
in Georgia to endorse and place in
their platform a Prohibition plank
and waited in vain until at lost one
has been found brave enough to do
it.
The Star expects no spoils or
gains, We firmly believe that our
State ticket will be elected If each
and every one residing in our borders
who believe in "God, Home and
Native Land" will vote as they pray.
The time, thank God, is at hand
when the honest sons of toll and the
brave Prohibition cranks have joined
hands in the work of Reform and of

WHITE WITH EN- 1TIoN.

WHITE WITH EN- jTI0N.
During the reception that met Mr..
Bryan, Mrs. Bryan's face grew
white again with emotion AT frs;
the applause gave her face tri-
umphsnt expression. As the hurrah
kept up, the eyebrows contracted'
and into the eyes came an express
sion repeatedly that said plainly,
"You shout now, but what will you
do at the polls next Novenber?'
When the big roll of official mott
tication was handed to Mr.. Bryan
and the speaker said impressively,
May Gods blessing attend you and,
His omnipotent hand crown you
with success" Mrs. Bryan's eyes
seemed riveted to her husbands
face. As she watched the applaud.
ing crowds her eyes grew darker
with moisture, and it seemed as if
she would almost wiring from each
man promise to vote for Bryan
this year.
APPLAUSE WHICH DIDN'T COME.
As the people kept leaving in
streams Mrs. Bryan ainly showed
her unhappiness by the incr easing
pallor of her face.
As the hoped for applause for the
speech failed to come she began
peculiar nervous arranging of the
lips that is trick when she is espe-
cially wrought up and disappointed.
When Bryan scored his points she
watched the audience and then
turned her eyes again to him as if
waiting to see how the crowd would
take the next point.
AS he dropped his manuscript
more frequently and scored oftener,
the pallor left the wife's face. Dur
ing the peroration Mrs. Brysn's eyes
never left the speakers face except
to watch some applau ling enthusi-
astio group.
But when the end was come the
tension hardly held tight enough,
and if the speaker wasn't nervous,
his wife plainly showed she was.
THEY SHAKE HER HAND,
Many people insisted on going
into the box or holding up a hand
and shaking hers. 81 hope I'll see
you in Washington next time," and
similar expressions were heard, and
Mrs. Bryan forced a smile as if the
strain of the weeks travel and the
release fro n the tension of the madi-
son Square Garden meeting had
been too much for her.-N. Y.

Talking to the Half
Empty Benches.
Mrs. William J. Bryan made her
debut before New York as the
wife of the Presidential nominee of
the Democratic party last night. No
woman ever took part before in
similar event of such size. 1t wasn't
precisely unalloyed joy, and before
the end of the night Mrs. Bryan
showed that it had been a severe,
trying time.
For the first time Mrs. Bryan had
to give up her place by her husbands
side on the platform. She had
come to New York expecting her
husbands voice and word pictures
would electrify the place. Instead
the famous voice was under a cloud,
She even had to listen to cries of

SAW CROWDS HURRY OUT.
Still more, the crowd in the seats
on the opposite side Of the Garden
from her box began to hurry out
almost as soon as it became evident
Mr.. Bryan's voice was not in oondi-
ton. Before the man in whom she
sha takes such pride had been read
ing his speech ten minutes she had
to sit and watch half empty house.
Their, too, the mere fact that Mr.
Bryan had to read his speech was
another thorn in the flesh, because
Mr.. Bryan only rises in favor when
manuscript is dropped.
WAS AN OBJECT or INTEREST.
But there was salve and balm in
spite Of this. Mrs, Bryan was an
object of interest only second to her
hus band.
Two boxes, Nos. 43 and 45, had
been reserved for Mrs. Bryan and
her party. When Mr.. and Mrs
Richard Bland arrived she received
light reception and cheers intended
for Mrs. Bryan. A dozen National
Committeeman filed into the boxes
intended for Mrs. Bryan and for
time it looked as if, after all, Mrs.
Bryan would cling to her cherished
custom and apfear on the platform.

Then she came. Leaning on the
arm of Mr.. St. John, she toiled up
the stars and stepping into box No.

1t was a very white face that
seemed all big eyes, tnat the people
in4uisitively devoured. Mrs. Bryan
bowed once, twice to the audience,
rather stflly, but smiled sweetly. A
third bow took in the National Com
mittee over just behind her, who had
been turned out of the box to make
room for her party.
HER IMpAssIvE FACE.
Then her face settled into an ex-
preston so very impassive that the
woman might have been chiselled
out of marble.
Mrs. Bryan holds her head very
high, with the sharply chiselled chin
thrown out in strong relief. AS the
cheers of welcome continued, her
eyes slowly swept the house. As it
went on, she grew still whittier and
was deeply agltated.

Tornado,

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The senate to.
day passed the river and harbor bill
over the presidents veto by a vote of Sc
to 8. This was the last step in making
the bill effective and it is now a law.
The vote was taken after three hours of
spirited debate, during which the presi-
dent was criticised and defended, the
remarks at times being directly and bit
terly personal. Opposition TO the veto
was expressed by Vest, Sherman, Petit
grew, Hawley and Butler, while the veto
was defended by Villas, Hill and Bate.
When the partial conference report was
presented on the naval appropriation
bill, Quay moved that the senate recede
from its amendment reducing the num-
Der Of battle ships from four to two.
This brought on an extended debate. In
its course, Tillman spoke in his usual
breezy way on "armor robbers.n He re-
ferred to the grip by the throat which
the armor concerns had on congress
and, looking around the senate, asked if
there were any attorneys Of the lobby
here, or any senator, interested in secur-
ing contracts. The final vote on the
item of battle ships will be taken at /

estimated, thereby suffer a loss of about
