TURNER'S SUCCESSOR.
A Sketch of the Eleventh Congress
siOnaI Districts Nominee.


Brunswick, Ga, June 1s.-Wiliam G.
Brantley Of Brunswick, nominated for
congress by the democrats of this district
yesterday, was born at Blackshear, Sept.
is, 1860. His father, D. B. Brantley, was a
native of Laurens county, a merchant
and one of the most successful men in his
line Of business in South Georgia For
nearly thirty years "Brantley's" store
at Blackshear was the most prominent
mercantile establishment in that portion
OF the state, but subsequent to his death
me busiress was changed to the A. p.
Brantley Company and is now one OF the
strongest financial institutions of South
Georgia. Mrs. Brantley mother of Will
liam O. Brantley, survives her husband,
and is a devoted Christian. Her parents
emigrated to this country from Scotland
and located in Montgomery county.
MI. Brantley's education was very lib
eral in the public schools, and the state
university, At the completion of his
school studies he began to read law under
the late Hon. John c. Nicolls, at Black
shear and in 1882 was admitted to the bar
he was at once accepted as a partner of
Nicolls & Brantley. Two years later he
retired from the firm, and engaged in the
practice of law by himself.
In 1884 his constituents selected him Al
their standard-bearer and he served with
distinction In the legislature, as the rep
resentatiVe from Pierce county. Later
he represented the Third senatorial dis
trict in the general assembly. While a
member OF the Senate he took a very
prominent part in the passage OF the tele-
graph bill of 1887, and in opposition to the
sale of the Western and Atlantic railroad
If he had desired it he could have re-
tanned the solicitoTship of the Brunswick
circuit, which he now holds, but he de-
clined the honor
One Of the best evidences of the estima-
ton in which his professional ability and
statesmanlike qualities are held, lies in
| the fact that he was rendered the judge
ship of the Brunswick circuit and other
equally honorable official positions.
None of these manifestations of appre-
| citation, however. have served to swerve
! him from the pathway of unassuming
| citizenship and devotion to duty, and he
| is to-day held in the highest esteem by
! thousands of men who will be his con-
! stituents with the greatest of pleasure,
| and aid in giving him a democratic ma
| sor.ty of overwhelming proportion when
| the election day draws to a close.
The selection of Mr.. Brantley for the
congressional nomination and the placing
| of his name before the people formed one
| of the most remarkable convention pro-
| ceed.ngs ever recorded. Within twenty
/ four hours delegates from sixteen counties
] pledged to support a candidate for the
| nomination, by the people of their respec-
/ tive counties, assembled in Brunswick,
/ heard the news of their candida ties decln-
| alton to allow his name to go before them,
| caucused and decided on another man,
| placed that mans name in nomination and
| by unanimous and rising vote rendered
| him the honor and then adjourned.
