 The country called upon New York for a democrat. and New York answers with a man who has learned the simple lessons Of democratic faith in the furrowed field, who took them with increasing strength to the bar and finally honored them by his exalted station on the bench-a man who throughout his career from poverty to power. never in fair weather or foul forsook the standards of his party faith nor deserted the colors of his command. The country called upon New York for A democrat free from factional dispute. and New York answers with a man friendly to all factions. but favorite and afraid of none; man who will take counsel and courage of both. but who will take the bitterness of neither: a man who will not stir the hatred of the past nor share the acrimony of the present, but who will lead us up toward the -I.-re into cloud less of atmosphere of party peace. The country called upon New York for man who measured up to stature of this lofty place. and New York answers with e candidate who grew from youth to man IT the humble walks of life; who lived and learned what all our common folk

Ex- Governor Northern, who was

call on the Georgia Baptists to turn

tends to the spread OF intemperance
In Georgia finds It's origin In the home.
He said In ringing voice: What
is the difference, will you tell me, be-

dealing out liquid damnatlon, as it is
called, for pay, and the woman beau

as the war itself, are not only being
worked here In civil war cases, but
there are also efforts being made to
catch them on the Spanish war fake.
1t will be remembered that number
of negroes from Columbia enlisted and

by those who were turned down, but
