county men expect to vote for the sixth
amendemnt.
The Republican county convention
passed a resolution indorsing the
ruffrage plank in the state platform.
These men know that it is their own
wives and mothers, sisters and sweet
hearts who are asking for the ballot,
and in the spirit of true California
chivalry, they intend to comply with
the wi1hes Of their own women.
These women are modest and retir-
ing as rule, and instead of taking to
the political platform" themselves, they
have secured their most eloquent bro
theirs of all parties to plead their cause
at the various political meetings. Their
committee on public meetings, composed
of ladies and gentlemen from each party,
has arranged for the presentation of the
sixth amendment at all political meet
ings in the county till election.
When Senator Perkins spoke to an
immense throng in Hazards pavilion,
the largest auditorium in our city, he
made magnificent appeal to the voters
to remember the women and the sixth

saying that their hearts were cheered
by the loyal words of the senator
The following Saturday night, in the
same auditorium, TO crowd that packed
the building to the very roof, Gen. Ben
Butterworth made the following elo-

where not only the ladies have voice,
but where they have vote also, and If

mothers, the wives, sisters and sweet

why the healthful influence of the

reaches his majority, then he can honor
his father but not his mother, for she,
being not voter the nation says, has
not the judgment nor intelligence to
advise.
Fourth-Woman is more moral than
man. None but reputable candidates
would dare solicit her vote. Give her the
ballot and she will lift our race upon
higher moral plane; this will be made
manifest at once at the polls in our
state as it has been in all others where
they have granted woman the franchise.
Fifth-Woman has more moral cour-
age than man. Some have argued
against woman's voting as she cannot so

proven on many battlefields; but there

Lib Gone!

There is not a more familiar figure
on the streets of Atlanta than the man
whose picture is here shown. Every
body knows him by sight and it will be
remembered that years ago he began
to wear on his upper lip, just under
his nose, a small piece of court p1as-
ter, not larger than silver half dime;
this plaster he has worn constantly,
though it gradually increased in size,
as everybody knows, until it was as
large as a silver dollar. This man is
M. al. Nicholson, who resides at the
corner of Anderson and Curran SITS.
It was thirty years ago, that he first
noticed a tiny scale, like piece of
wheat bran, on his lip. He at first
thought it only a fever blister, but it
was not long before his cheeks became
diseased and painful to the touch, and
he soon realized that he had fallen
victim to that most dreadful disease
Cancer. 1t rapidly increased in size
and severity, and remembering that
his father had cancer when he. died,
and that his uncle also lost his life by
this terrible disease, which destroyed
his tongue, throat and left eye, Mr..
Nicholson became thoroughly alarmed,
and realized that his condition was
more than serious.
