far as the work Of the convention is
concerned. with reference to the nom.
inee, it is a mere matter Of form. the
standard bearer having been chosen at
a primary Of the party held some time
since.
However on this occasion, we think
it no more than the proper thing to
say something Of the distinguished
south Georgian, who today will again
be honored by his people. Hon. VIII
liam Gordon Brantley has only graced
the hall of congress for few terms
but in the brief time he has establish
ed for himself reputation that should
afford ample qualification to his con
fstituency here in Georgia; he had
been in congress but few months
ere he earned the esteem Of the mem
bers on both sideg of the aisle. lie
at once caught the attention Of the
country and in a short time it came
TO pass that he was very justly regard.
ed as one Of the ablest members &.
the democratic side
He has been regarded as a mcraber
Of the house, who has little to sa,
during the deliberations Of the body
but who says what ne wants to In
such a fashion that he Is accorded the
very closest attention when he decides
to talk.
He has proven himself to be pains
taking representative Of the people
one who exercises as much care in
matters that pertain to one end Of bis
district as he does to those Of The
other The establishment OF a federal
court at Valdosta: the ne.y custom
house at Brunswick, the establishment
Iof new rural routes in Laurens and
countless other evidences Of his close
attention to all che people of The Elev
enth are the best evidences of hi.
great work IN the lower house Of con
gross.
So much for the gentleman whom
the convention is to nominate, now
for some Of the more practical worl
to be done by the body. We thinl
the convention should reafirm ever,
! endorsement Of the state convention
lit should pass ringing resolutions en-
dorsing Parker for president an,
pledging its best support to the nom
nees of the ST. Louis convention.
| In the the meantime we wait to ex
tend to the delegates who are in til,
city on this occasion, the very warm
est kind of a welcome. There is lot,
in common with the city Of Brunswick
and the other portions OF the distric
and we hope the convention toda,
will be the means of bringing us al
| closer together. we should ali b
proud Of the Industrial development
and material progress made by TIL
Eleventh district during the last te,
years. A few years ago it was III
SMALLEST district in the state, not onl,
in population. but in manufactures an
in all other essential details. To-day
has outdistanced very near all othe
districts in Georgia and stands as til
banner one in the state in the matte
of increases in population.

spot Of the great empire state Of tn
south; we believe south Georgia /
Just beginning to experience a growt
and a development that is going t
make this section Of the state ii
most progressive and the most pro.
porous in the south.
Again we bid the delegates welcom
May their deliberations ae blesse
with perfect peace and happiness an
may their work today be only the fore
runner of new era of success, peac
and plenty for the futare.
