Attorney Clyde Shropshire was next
called upon To speak for Georgia. and
acquitted himself with credit 10 hin-
self and his state. Mr.. Shropshire has
the distinction of bearing striking
perss nal resemblance to W. J. Bryan;
h. is also a clear thinker and very
pleasant speaker. He began by telling
how the sea shell. even when taken into
the mountains. continues To sing Of its
home by the restless sea. de spoke IN
unstinted praise of Georgia. and paid
high tributes TO the memory of Alex

Henry w Grady. Mr.. Shropshire gave
expression to one sentiment that called

Of the day. He said:
Denounces Schley's Prosecutors.
History tells me that that grand
patriot and noble statesman Who SO
fiTmly held the helm of state during
the stormy days of reconstruction. nor
any one connected with MI LincOlu's
administration saw hit TO allow 10 80
uuchalleuEed charge of coWacdice
against any of the brave men VINO
fought for the preservation OF tie
Union no matter from what section he
came OF 10 what political faith ne be-
louged. Is there not reason, then, Why
people OF the south today as well as the
Whcre, decry as a shame that the pres
ent adm abstraction has not stamped
with the great seal OF state as lie the
mean iuSlnuarOns brought against
that brave and gallant southern gentle
man, the real hero of The Spanish
American War-Winfeld Scott SchIey2"
Mt Shropshire closed by saying that
ST. was high time 70 wipe out all sec
ti5nal lines, that there is not air enough
ON this continent TO float two flags.
Warren Foster was introduced to
speak for Kentucky, and entertained
the audience for time with a witty
little talk filled with "reminiscences Of
the south. In speaking of the settle
menJ OF kentucky, he said that some
people from North Carolina passed
through Virginia in a wagon. that the
ATglnlanS who had never seen a wagon
before were Sc puzzled TO see the little
wheels keep ahead of the big ones that
they followed that wagon over the hills
into Kentucky, and could never find
their way back home.
The programme of speaking was in
tersperSed with music by the orchestra.
